JN the vision of larger things that is opening V up to Otterbein, THE JEGIS hopes that the demands of physical instruction will receive their just consideration. For, as we have said before, a necessary condition of a keen mind and a strong character is a healthy body. It is well, sometimes, to dream dreams and see visions, and the particular dream of THE JEGis just now is some much-needed improve ments in the gymnasium. Coupled with that, we fore-see a physical director who shall have charge of all college athletics. He shall be football coach, instructor of gymnasium classes, and general overseer of the physical department. The Y. M. C. A. has a dream, too. Its vision is of a general secretary with an office in the Association building. Why not combine the two ? Men can be found capable of filling both positions. Perhaps by uniting the dreams may be realized.

As a parting word to the class of 1902, we wish you success, large success, honor, fame and weath, and more than all these we \\ish you success in character.

ffLL friends of Otterbein will be glad to a:'\ learn that the Faculty have recently made several changes in the course of stndy which are a decide-cl step in advance. The small Otterbein has ever been noted for the quality of her work anfl this last change is fully in accord with her policy of keeping abreast of the times. The degree of Ph. B. has been abolished and A. B. will be granted to those pursuing either course of study, though this year's Ph. B. Seniors can retain that title if desired. Th¢ flexibility also of the course has been greatly increased by the addition of a large number of electives after the Freshman year. Required languages and mathematics extend only through that year and the English department is strength ened by new work in rhetoric and composi tion. Credits to the extent of eighty recita tion periods will be given for work done in either of the four departments of Music, Art, Business or Physical Culture. These are the principal changes to be found in next year's catalog, and we doubt not they will prove of great benefit to the college.

JI -Divint Jlrt OLIVE R013ERTSON,

VERY creation of art has been the ex pression of some state of mind. Poet, sculptor, and painter have given to the world their best and noblest thoughts, yet these do not suffice in the expression of the deepest emotions. There are sentimenti. which the poet has

never expressed ; there are scenes and pictures of the imagination to which the sculptor has failed to give form and which no brush has, as yet, spread upon the canvas. These are only given to the world through that most divine of all arts-music. We can hear it in every part of nature. As we listen to the birds, chattering so gaily, while they seem to be vieing with each other in their efforts to praise their Maker ; in the mun1rnrings of the forest; in the rippling of the brook; in the rapid flowing of the river as it hurries on to the ocean; in the joyous play of the ocean waves as they break upon the shore or moan as they dash against the rocks, while the skies seem to be venting their wrath upon the vast expanse of water. Everything of nature's causing is in perfect harmony. Ever !ince ''the morning stars first sang together," music has been a part of the universe, and from Genesis to Revelation God has recognized the art in his Word. The song of Moses in praise of the Deliverer of the children of Israel; the prominent part music had in the capture of Jericho; the songs of Solomon and David; "the multitude of heav enly host, praising God," as they proclaimed to the world that the Savior was born-these are only a few out of the many instances recorded in sacred history which show the prominence which music has always had. It brings heaven nearer earth. There is a power in it which touches and moves upon the heart of man such as comes from no other source. In the language of the poet, "God has sent his singers upon earth With songs of sadness and of mirth, That they might touch t.he hearts of men, And bring them back to heaven again ."

Music is a heart language in which we can pour out all the longings and desires of the soul and by which we can arouse all that is good, pure and noble in man. A legend says that when Adam and Eve were about to be expelled from the garden of Eden, God pitied them, and to alleviate their sufferings while battling with life's bitter blasts, He gave them

OTTERBEIN .£GI!). a harp made of wood taken from the tree of life, ordaining that its sweet sounds s;hould ever be a relief for their sufferings. Although this is only a legend, yet we know that there is power in music to soothe and quiet the troubled mind aud heart. It is to the mind what gymnastics are to the body. As an art it cannot be perfected in a day or a year but only after many years of constant and patient labor. Our greatest artists have attained the fame they now have only after working incessantly for years, while the sharpest criticisms were being hurled at them. But who can listen to one of these artists without seeming for the time to be lifted above his present surroundings while the very thoughts and emotions of a Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin, or Wagner thrill his heart. And yet there are a few who say it is a mere pastime, rather to be considered a luxury than a necessary part of one's education. Wherein does true culture lie if not in the culture of the heart from which emanate the most sublime aspirations of man? Shakespeare says:"The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, If:6.t for treasons, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit arc dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted."

every citizen! Never is war waged without the opposing armies having their music. During the days of struggle between the North and South, while the northern soldiers marched to the tune of the Star Spangled Banner, the southern patriots marched as bravely to the tune of Dixie Land; but around the camp-fires there was a song which whether led by the northern or southern soldiers, the others hearing the sweet strains floating on the evening air, could unite in perfect sympathy. This was the song of Home, Sweet H0me, which was so dear to every soldier's heart. "Let all the world with music ring, Where'er we rest, where'er we roam. Not one can touch so sweet a string Or to the heart such rapture bring, As the loved songs of home."

How they soothe the weary. fretful child in its mother's arms! And how often in mature years the heart, although hardened by vice and barred against every good impµlse, is melted by some sweet strain which carries the wanderer back to childhood days where life was pure and innocent. What power there is in this language of the soul! Could life be so sweet if there were no music in it? Shall we not then give due ap preciation to this art which was introduced into the world by God himself, when he made the the universe and sent the sweet songsters from the skies? Music was in the world before man was created. To describe this art which, with the exception of the Bible, is one of God's most glorious gifts to the world, can we find better words than in the language of Thomas Moore :

Music is pure, and although it may seem sometimes to be degrading in its influence, it is only so because of the words and actions which accompat1y it; of itself, it is pure. It enters into every condition of life as no other art can and although we cannot all be artists yet we may all feel its power in our "Music! oh, bow faint, how weak Language fades before thy spell, lives. Never does any important event take Why should feeling ever speak place but that music has its place. It is not When thou cans't breathe her soul so well. Friendship's balmy words may feign, only pleasing and entertaining to the listeners Love's are e'en more false than they; but elevating and inspiring as well. Having Oh, 'tis only music's strain Can sweetly soothe and not betray." listened to good music is like having read a good book, although we may not remember it A large number of students attended the all, yet its refining influence is felt and we are the better for having listened. lecture of Miss Ellen Stone in Columbus on How our national songs inspire the heart of May 26,

Y memory reverts with pleasure to a beautiful sunrise I witnessed on a mild winter morning in 1897. In reading this description may you not only discern the beauty of the scene, but also realize that all the beauties of nature were once archetypal in the Divine Mind- It is unusual for me to wit ness a sunrise in winter, but necessity com pelled me desiring to return from the southern part of the Hocking Valley, to rise and break fast very early, in order to leave on the five o'clock train. While it was yet twilight I boarded the train and took a seat at an east window. As the first beams of light were tipping the hilltops, I discovered dark, heavy clouds resting on the hills, and that my eyes would soon be delighted with splendors such as seldom appear in a life time. Soon the dark clouds faded into dull gray, and the gray was tinged with purple and red and gold. Quickly now a whole array of colors take their places like soldiers in a parade drill. There was not simply a small patch of colored cloud, but the whole eastern sky was clothed in rainbow splendors. There was the red, the yellow, the green, the blue, the indigo and the violet, all thrown upon the screen stretched across the sky. What beauty, what harmony, what splendor, what sublimity! Words cannot express what was pictured in cloud and color that morning, for it was painted in richest combination and highest harmony by a hand not human. God was calmly speaking to the soul in the eye's deepest language. He spoke of the beau tiful in everything. You could turn your eyes toward that enchanted sky and see countless beauties. There were rolling prairies of fire, rivers of gold, lakes of silver, fields of waving grain, mountains crags, cliffs, torreHts, ships on the ocean- every beauty was there that the imagination can feed upon. The windows of heaven were open and the brightest light

streamed out. Her battlements blazed with glory, her harp-strings were all touched; her harmonies all perfect. You have seen the trees of the forest robed in beauty; you have seen the starry moonlight night; you have watched the lightning flash among towers and trees; you have looked upon the glory of the north, the Aurora Borealis. But these are not the sunrise of January 2, 1897; they are only prophecies of what that sunrise was. As we sped along the sun rose higher and my soul rose with it. My nature was stirred to its very depths by beauties serene. I longed for an artist to paint the scene, but all in vain. The colors were too many, too blended, too changing, to be drawn on canvass. Changing cars at Nelsonville and waiting fifteen minutes on the north bound train gave opportunity to step about on the platform and gaze skyward at the bright clouds folding and unfolding picture after picture, displaying the most pleasing forms. I called the attention of some bystanders to the magnificent sky, but for some of them one look was sufficient. They were too deeply engrossed in commerce to dis cern beauty in color, order, harmony, propor tion and infinity. The scene was far beyond their comprehension. To them, those striking pictures were streakings of the morning light, and they were nothing more. Others looked and kept on looking and were enchanted, en riched, ennobled. As the sun rose higher the clouds threw off their gorgeous apparel, and the sky donned its usual garb. The scene van ished, but its effect remained. The music stopped but the melody still rings. Such a wonderful out-shining of truth caused me to reflect and examine my inner life, to see whether it were as pure, as beautiful, as perfect, as ready to declare the glory of God as the heavens were that morning. It gave my life an upward trend-a richness and a melody I shall ever cherish. In my soul the lights flashed higher, new fountains of joy burst forth. For in those clouds I saw with my mind's eye, Him who balanced the clouds between earth and

That sunrise was the outshining of the truth and beauty of the infinite Mind.

ID you ever think of the greatness of one thing? How often we hear expressions like these: if it were not for that one thing I should do that which I feel confident I ought to do; there is one point in that problem I' do not fully understand; I wish I might be able to overcome that one difficulty. Just one thing seems very insignificant when we think of the numberless things there are in the world. But what changes are wrought in the accomplishment of one thing? This fact is demonstrated to us in so many different ways. In this day of varied interests, great events, daily occurrences, and multiplied new things to attract our thoughts and attention, it is an easy matter to become so absorbed in living that we scarcely know the true value of one thing until it is in some way brought forcibly to our minds. The boy or girl who masters that one difficult example has made a stride upward and can never again be placed on equal footing with the classmate who gave up in despair at first trial. The one who reads with eyes uplifted at every stir and movement cannot make what he is reading his own. That knowledge may be obtained and retained the mind must be cen tered on the one article which is being read. Have you ever spent an hour in a library turn ing from one magazine to another and leafing through them without serious thought on any particular subject? If so, did you return to ro~r fOQJUS feelini you had spent a profital?l~

hour? With the many papers, magazines and books of the present age, care need be taken lest the mind become weak and dissipated. Would it not be well to carry out ones sugges tion of taking one single author, read and assimilate his works thoroughly, and by that means strengthen and traiu the mind? Did it ever occur to you how many sermons or lectures you listen to, and apparently get little or no lasting good from them ? Would not more satisfactory results be produced in the end by taking one thought from each, think about it and make it your own? The accomplishment of one deed, one aim or purpose, strengthens in a way that cannot at first be fully realized. Paul said, "This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and pressing forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." His life and teachings show clearly that that was his true motive, and to-day his works follow him and we are permitted to study one of the richest, fullest and most faithful lives the world has ever seen. In our own generation the life of Francis Parkman, who ranks among the first in our line of historians, is but another example of one who formed a purpose in life. The thought uppermost to him for more than half a century was the work he set out to do while yet a student in college. Although almost insurmountable difficulties blocked the way he did not lose sight of the end in view, and to-day his memory is kept for the one great work of his life. That he accomplished in the best way possible in a manner that no one else could have done. There are no men so inter esting as those who move quietly and steadily onward, looking forward to some distant aim, which is invisible to others. They carry with them an air and stir of growth and movement not characteristic of other classes. They mold their own lives; they became absorbed in their own affairs, and ~ive to the world the impres sion of one who has a definite end for which he is w9rldng, that ~annot b~ ob qireg or bhirred,

OTTERBEIN AlGIS. They have learned the art of concentrating all energy and power on one thing. They aban don certain fields of interest that their minds may be focused on the one aim of their lives. American women are intensely interested in education, and are very desirous of developing the powers they possess. Howe\,er, one prom inent writer has said recently, that the Ameri can woman has not learned the lesson of put ting her mind and every effort on one thing. So anxious is she to become intelligent that she has acquired the habit of dabbling in many things rather than achieving pow«r in any one thing. If this be true it behooves us as college girls to think and consider how we may de velop oar faculties to the highest :ind best ad vantage. The numberless openings for woman give her a choice of any kind of work she may choose and like. It is true that we do not always know what our life work will be, but even then we can aim at doing one thing well. We can have a purpose. Not for a moment would we think of putting all our time, efforts and strength on the accom plishment of that one thing, for nature demands a change and must have it. We will rest for the sake of the strength it will give us; we will turn aside for the enjoyment of being with friends and associates; we will take counsel with our own thoughts, and will be interested in other lines of work, but all the while keeping these things subordinate to the one thing uppermost in our thoughts. To become proficient in any one thing is not an easy task. It requires daily, earnest effort, patience and concentration on our part. When that difficult passage in music is mastered, or that translation in language is carefully thought out, or any difficulty in any line of work is met and mastered, then you have accomplished one thing worth a dozen things not conquered. Life is short and we desire to take worthy places in the world. One of the first things to know is that it is given to each of us to know one thing well, and strive to set in action every faculty given us to find out that one thing, and then to master it.

Prtsldtttt' $ Jlddrtss To the Tntstees of 0. U. GENTLEMEN:-! have the honor of present ing to you the President's report for the college year ending June 18, 1902. The health of the students has in general been good. A few cases of sickness occurred during the Fall term. Prof. Wagoner was un able to meet his classes about half of the Win ter term. Mr. Clyde Andrus died April 16, 1902, of spinial meningitis. Mr. McMillan, our faithful janitor for nearly ten years died died March 15, 1902. The financial history of the year will be pre sented by the treasurer. I wish simply to mention the frescoing of the chapel and paint ing ot the college buildings at an expense of about $1000, paid by Columbus friends of the college, and the wiping out of $40,000 of the indebtedness of the University. This is a noble achievement. The physical culture and athletics of the col lege are not in a satisfactory condition. Last winter I sent out circulars to the alumni re questing their opinions on several topics. Two of these were compulsory physical culture and intercollegiate athletics. About one-third of these circulars were answered. Of those reply ing about 5ixty-two and a half per cent. were in favor of compulsory physical culture, and eighty-two and a half per cent. in favor of inter collegiate athletics. Intercollegiate football was favored by fifty-seven and a half per cent. The Board two years ago made physical culture compulsory. Owing to incomplete heating of the building this requirement of the Board has not been carried out. I am not sure that the requirement is a wise one. In athletics there are some unsatisfactory conditions. I recommend the appointment of a committee of the Board to act with the Presi dent to take the whole matter of athletics into consideration and report to your body before final adjournment. I also recommend that a professor of physical culture be employed

To simplify this department of the work. College professors ought to attend work of the University I recommend that the some educational meeting during the summer Department of Music and School of Art be vacation, where they can meet professors from emerged into a school of Fine Arts, that the other colleges and receive inspiration and en courses be strengthened and appropriate thusiasm, and in turn impart these to others. degrees granted to those completing them. This I deem essential to professional growth. There should be one director of the school and They ought also to spend a few months or a as many teachers as may be necessary. All year every seven or eight years in study and unnecessary committees should be discon travel at home or abroad, otherwise they will tinued. be apt to decline in efficiency.

The banquets of the ladies' literary so-~ occurred immediately after the rendering of the programs. The Cleiorhetean banquet was held

in the Philophronean hall, the Philalethean in the gymnasium of the Association building. The halls of both were tastefully decorated. Mrs. Frances Myers Flickinger was toast mistress or Cleiorhetea and the following toasts were given: "Welcome," Olive Rob ertson; "Response," J. I. L. Ressler; "Friends," Emma Barnett; "Girls," George Walters. The Cleiorhetean Glee club fu.mish ed the vocal music and Mary Louise Crockett gave a piano solo. Miss Anise Richer was toastmistress of Philalethea. Nola .Knox gave the address of welcome, to which Cora Frazier responded. Mrs. Clarinda Landon spoke on "Philalethea Then and Now," Mrs. Flora Speer Lollar on "Old Saum Hall," and Gertrude Scott on the subject, "Echoes of the Night." The music consisted of songs by the Philalethean Glee club, piano duet by Lilian Langworthy and Myrna Brinker, and a vocal solo by Nora Shauck. The Philomathean and Philophronean socie ties held open session on Friday evening, June I 3. Installation programs were given by both societies. The large attendance, in spite of the violent storm, showed that the visitors anticipated good programs, and they were not disappointed. PHILOMATHEAN

The Philophronean and Philomathean lit erary societies banqueted their friends on Tuesday evening, immediately after the con servatory recital. The:: attendance at both was large and the social side of these societies was emphasized in the way that appeals so strongly to the masculine nature. After the elaborate menus, music and toasts were the order. Judge J. A. Shauck filled the office of toastmaster at the Philophronean banquet. The toasts were: "Welcome," E. A.

The genial host and hostess left nothing undone to make the event an enjoyable one. Excellent instrumental music was furnished by Messrs. Good, Helmstetter, Dubois and Kline, and light refreshments were served. Among the distinguished visitors present were Judgt Shauck and wife and .State School Commis sioner Bonebrake, of Columbus, and Bishop Kephart, of Annville, Pa.

Baccalaurtatt Sunday Sunday morning was h~t and s1:1ltry, other wise the weather was fine. At 10:30 the grad uating class filed into the chapel, already filled even to the gallery, to listen to the baccalau reate sermon by Bishop E. B. Kephart. The invocation was by Rev. W. G. Stiverson, the college pastor, and the Scripture reading by Rev. Kilbourn, of Dayton. Rev. J. I. L. Resler, of Johnstown, Pa., offered prayer.

tru$ttt$' mtttfng On Monday afternoon of June 16, the trus tees of Otterbein University assembled in the Association building to transact the annual business of the college. After the reading of the Scripture lesson by the president of the board, Rev. D. R. Miller, and prayer by Dr. Mathews, an introductory talk was given by Rev. Miller, in which he called to mind the fact, that their action would have to be gov erned somewhat by the report of the Budget Committee. Although quite a number of the trustees were not present, every committee was repre sented by some of its members except the Committee on Music and the Library Commit tee, which necessitated the appointment of other members to fill the vacancies. Rev. D. R. Miller was again elected as pres ident of the board, and Dr. Henry Garst as secretary. The report of Pres. Scots, which occurs elsewhere in this paper, was read to the board. The recommendations of the report of the president were submitted to the committees to which they naturally fell by order of the board. The Prudential Committee reported that there had been twelve meetings during the year, and read the minutes of each session; by which it was seen that it had been a year of more than ordinary interest and responsibility for its members. The secretary and treasurer submitted his annual report. After which, times for the meeting of the committees were set, and the board adjourned to meet at 8:30 Tuesday morning. At 9 o'clock Tuesday morning the board was again called to order by the president. After devotional exercises, roll call was made quite prominent by the absence of the mem bers. During the miscellaneous business, the Committee on Nominations was instructed to double the regular number on the Prudential Committee. The Art Committee was the first to report in

the regular order of business. The main dis cussion was upon the article recommending that the tuition of this department be paid di rectly to the treasurer, instead of to the in structors, and that it be a part of the special fund and not kept separate. The Committee on Building and Grounds re ported that the grounds were in satisfactory condition to the committee, but the Music Conservatory is not adequate to meet the de sires of the instructors, and advised that as soon as possible a larier conservatory be con structed. Committee on Faculty recommended that practically the same corps of instructors be again employed. The name of Sarah Sher rick, of Scottdale, Pa., was recommended to take the place of Prof. Josephine Johnson, who was granted a year's leave of absence. Mrs. Isabel Scott presented her· resignation as priR cipal of the Art Department, but finally con sented to take charge of this work for another year. Committee on Library recommended that more room be furnished for this part of the college, and that Miss Barnes be retained as assistant librarian. Committee on Athletics suggested that six persons be elected to see after this part of the work; two of which were to be chosen by the Faculty, two alumni by the Trustees, and two students chosen by the student body. This committee presented the names of t\\o of the alumni, who they thought would be suitable men for this position. G. A. Lambert, of Anderson, Ind., was elected trustee at large. The degree of Bachelor of Art was conferred upon the members of this year's Senior class, and Master of Art upon Prof. N. E. Cornetet, C. W. Brewbaker, Prof. W. C. Whitney, Rev, W. G. Stiverson, 0. B. Cornell and A. T. Howard. The Finance Committee advised that the securing of the $40,000 be approved, and that it be urged that the canvas for the $20 1000 be

OTTERBEIN .&GIS. continued; that S. S. Hough, of Altoona, Pa., be secured as field agent for the college ; that the donations received be devoted exclusively to the deliquidating of the old debt; that Dr. Henry Garst be again employed as secretary and treasurer. The Board on Budget having secured the reports of other colleges having the same rank as our own, and making a study of them, and also the past reports of our own school, they set forth plans concerning the management of the various funds for the following year. The amount of the budget as set forth was $16,000. Certain amounts of this budget was propor tioned to the clifferent members of the Board of Trustees, who are expected to raise their assignment. If they find that they are not able to secure their assignments by April 21st they must report the same to the chairman of the Budget Committee. By a resoh1tion it was decided that a year of free scholarship will be given to the honorary members of the graduates of the high schools. Discussions of how to raise the $20,000 on the balance of the $6o,ooo were given by Hu lit and Thomas. Mr. Lambert suggested that a subscription be taken, to see how much could be secured, providing the whole amount be secured by Jan. I, 1903. Total amount raised, $3,500. The Alumna! association reported having elected Rodgers and Dr. Garst as trustees. The Board adjourned having completed their work after almost a day's session. The importance of the session was felt by every member present, and several plans were discussed with a great amount of earnestness. Some new plans were adopted which are hoped · to be successful in both securing a larger enrollment and in the prevention of an accumulating debt. The normal part of the work was strongly emphasized, with the hope of bringing the school before a class who for merly would not have thought of coming to Otterbein. Some of the members showed the lack of

interest by failing to put in their appearance; but on the whole the meeting was one of the greatest in the importance of the work done, that has been held since the time of discussing the plan of raising the Knox fund.

tbt ntw Staff The stockholders of the OTTERBEIN AEGIS met at two o'clock in the Philophronean hall on Tuesday. There was a fair representation of the stock. Upon the resignation of H. E. Shirey as director, U. B. Brubaker was elected to fill his unexpired term. The new directors elected were J. F. Nave, B. 0. Barnes and T. E. Hughes. The board of directors selected for the com ing year, the staff made up of the following members: C. 0. Callender, editor; T. E. Hughes, assistant editor; C. S. Yothers, busi ness manager; R. A. Callender, subscription agent; B. F. Shively, assistant subscription agent; U. B. Brubaker, local editor; C. W. Snyder, exchange editor; B. F. Cunningham, alumna! editor. These men will have charge of THE .iEGIS for the next year.

next fall might not seem to be the brightest to the casual observer, but those who will give careful consideration to the matter can not help predicting a strong team and one that will command the respect of the strongest teams of the state. Manager Van Sickle has prepared one of the best and strongest schedules that has ever been out lined for an Otterbein team. Ned Wain wright, our efficient coach of last fall, will have charge of the team and this means that the coaching department will be well looked after. Two good men will be lost by the graduation of Hughes and Lloyd, but there are a number of promising men who played on the second

The baseball season closed last Saturday afternoon with the best game of the season. The crack Olentangy Maroons, who are con sidered to be the best amateur team in Co lumbus and one of the best in the State, were The Union's Nobby Outing Suits at $7.S0, $10.00 and $12.50.

defeated by our boys in a very interesting game by the close score of 6 to 5. It was by far the best game that our team has played this season and one of which we may well be proud, when we consider the strength of our opponents. Denison, who has been making such vociferous claims to the championship of the State, were easily defeated by the Ma roons earlier in the season by a score of 11 to 2. There was some very pretty fielding and some clever work on the." bases. Our boys all played well and the hard luck which has so persistently followed them all season showed itself during the game. Had they played in the same form and as consistently as they did in this game, they would have won every game played during the season.

bTTERBEIN AlGiS. Callender, '03, and W. E. Riebel, '03, were chosen as the other members; E. S. Barnard, '95, was unanimously re-elected alumna! member. The Antioch baseball team came to Otter bein Saturday, May 24, determined to have sweet revenge for the awful drubbing given to their football team last fall. It looked for six innings as if they were doomed to be disap pointed, but in the seventh inning they opened up on Jolly, batting him to all parts of the lot, scoring seven runs and winning the game by a score of 13 to 7. One of the most pleasant of the college events of the year was the reception tendered to the Seniors on Saturday evening, May 24, by Mrs. Scott and Miss Johnson. They were entertained in .l. very novel and unique manner and were served with such delicacies that only Seniors can- appreciate. Onl1 those who have shared the hospitality of these

charming hostesses can realize the amount of pleasure it was the Seniors good fortune to enjoy. Prof. C. R. Newman entertained a number of friends from Mechanicsburg and a select crowd of O. U. at the town hall last Friday night in the final dance of the season. About twenty-five were in attendance and danced merrily away until an early hour. The Seniors, all puffed up over tories over the Sophomore and classes, challenged the Faculty to baseball to be played at any time.
