ege and SGhools at Lake Forest
THE REV. RICHARD D. HARLAN, 0. 0., It D.. President
The Trustees of that corporation whose legal title is "Lake Forest University" maintain three institutions :— Lake Forest College, Lake Forest Academy (for boys), and Ferry Hall (for girls).
While the two schools are under the general oversight of the President of the College, each has its own separate campus, its own independent life, and its separate staff of teacher*.
Lake Forest is equaled in beauty and healthfulness by few suburbs of any American city. It is situated 45 minutes from Chicago (C. & N. W. R'y.) on the high wooded bluffs of Lake Michigan, with a choice population of only 2, goo. The charter of the municipality prohibits the saloon.
An attractive, home-like infirmary, with all the equipment of a modern city hospit •■ maintained on the college campus for the special use of the students of the College and two Schools. ___________________________

Changes in thte Faculty.
Professor John M. Clapp, was ap- pointed in June to the Professorship of the English language and literature,
PROP. JOHN M. CLAPP
succeeding Professor Jack. In 1890 he was graduated from Amherst Col- lege, receiving the degree of M. A. there in 1893. Immediately upon his graduation, Mr. Clapp went to Illinois College at Jacksonville, and remained there, as instructor and professor, un- til 1899. It was to the great regret of the college and community at Jackson- ville that he went in 1899 to Indiana University, where he has been an assistant professor until now.
Mr. Clapp has been a very suc-
cessful teacher, exacting but popular with students, a wheel horse in faculty administration, and a real force in each community where he has lived. His training East and West, in a large State institution and in a college like Lake Forest, has given him breadth of view and an appreciation of the pur- pose of an institution like ours. He comes to Lake Forest with the hope of permanent devotion to her welfare and the desire to build up, by patient and steady effort, a strong department of English.
THE DEAN OE WOMEN
Miss Edite Denise, the already popular Dean of Women and Instruct- or of French, appointed to succeed Miss Kimball, received her B. L. at Ferry Hall in 1885. After spending the year 1889-90, as a graduate student at Bryn Mawr, she went abroad for study, spending part of four years in Germany and France. She became Instructor in Modern Language, Iowa College, 1892-1905, from which time till her call to Lake Forest she was In- structor in German at Indiana Univer- sity.
We regret having been unable to secure her photo for publication.
Mr. Edgar White Burrill, who has been chosen Assistant in the English Department, although just out of col- lege, having received his B. A. degree last year at Amherst, comes to us with
THE STENTOR
very excellent records for the high quality of his work, especially in En-
~MK. KDGAU TviilTE BTTRILL
glish and Oratory, and with the very highest recommendations as a man who will assisted greatly in building us our Department of English.
PROFESSOR DAWSON INJURED.
We are grieved to learn that Pro- fessor Dawson, head of our Erench Department, was unable to return this semester. In the course of his visit to his nephew, Erskine, '06, at Rapid City, N Dak., this summer, while out driv- ing his horse took fright and ran away, very seriously injuring him. A note from the professor, dated Oct. 5, re- ports that he is steadily gaining, though still unable to move about much.
His place is being temporarily filled by Dr. F. C. Van Steenderen, formerly Professor of Romance Lan- guages at the University of Iowa.
THE GARRICK CLUB.
The Garrick Club, L. F. C.'s drama- tic organization met last week for the first time this semester. It opens its 06 '07 season with the following mem- bers:
E. Palmer, President.
H. Shroyer, Manager.
L. Munger, Secretary and Treasurer.
Sowers
Miss Helen Cutler,
Miss Ann Ryon,
Miss Margaret Robertson,
The club has lost some of its best talent and also the invaluable services of Mr. Wm. Mather Lewis, its former director, whose position as Head Mas- ter of the Academy will not permit his continuing in that capacity this year. However, Manager Shroyer assures that another competent director will be secured and that the productions of this season will be as finished as the successes of previous years.
A number of the former members have withdrawn or been graduated from the College which leaves quite a number of vacancies in the member- ship of the club. These vacancies will be filled by a competitive trial for all wishing a place in the club. Those trying for membership are expected to render some dramatic selection of any length or character. The ones show- ing the most histrionic ability will be awarded memberships. A member- ship in the Garrick Club is quite an honor and it behooves those who car- ried off the medals and brevets for declamation during their prep, school careers to come forth with their "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" sped and gain the opportunity of winning some of the genuine applause that L. F. audiences are so lavish with.
Manager Shroyer expects to be able to announce the name's of the
THE STENTOR
new director and of the plays to be presented, the latter part of this week. It is probable that last season's method will again be followed this season — Vaudeville Show in December and a Classic Drama of "The Rivals" type in April.
Y. M.C. A. RECEPTION
The Young Men's Christian Asso- ciotion tendered their annual reception to the college men, old and new, on Tuesday evening, September 25, at their rooms in North Hall.
Dr. Boyle entertained the young men for nearly an hour with interest- ing and humorous anecdotes, relative to his college life.
Dr. Harlan spoke for a short time about the hopefnl outlook on the cam- pus and the promising quality of the new men as Y. M. C. A. timber.
Wharton, the President of the As- sociation for this year, gave a short talk on the work of the Association. Those present were given an oppor- tunity to play the new piano, to sing the Alma Mater song. Finally came the "eats".
The Y. M. C. A. is one of the most beneficial features of the life at L. F. C. and one can not too urgently admonish the new men — and a few of the old ones, to join. This year the Association is to have the active co-op- oration of Dr. Boyle and other repre- sentative Christian men whose associa- tion is quite a desirable thing for a col- lege man.
Prof, and Mrs. R. H. McKee were abroad during the summer vacation. Prot. McKee visited all the larger lab- oratories in Germany, Switzerland and Hclland and has gathered a number of valuable ideas, which he hopes to use in the Chemical Lab. when our Science Hall goes up.
FORMER PROFESSOR HAS EYE INJURED.
Prof. Albert E. JacK Sustains Serious In- jury to Left Eye.
Our readers will be very sorry to learn of the unfortunate accident which Prof. Jack, late of the English Depart- ment of Lake Forest College, sus- tained a short time ago. While he was chopping wood, a week ago last Fri- day, a piece struck his left eye, pierc- ing the cornea. He was taken immed- iately to the Marion Sims Hospital of Chicago, but has since been removed to the Presbyterian Hospital. Despite the best medical care, he will lose the sight of the eye; and it is feared that the eye-ball itself can not be saved.
Since leaving the chair of English, which he had held since 1893, Prof. Jack has been leading the simple life on a farm near Milburn, in the north- western part of the county. Some time ago he was honored with the offer of the Chair of English at Bryn Mawr; but owing to poor health, and the in- jury to his eye, he has been unable to accept.

Comments on Our Foot Ball
Prospects.
The foot bill enthusiast, who has followed the evolution of the sport from its infancy, is prepared to see an entirely different game this fall from that of last year. The revised code ofruleshasin many ways revolution- ized the great American College game.
Many abh critics of foot ball ex- pect to witness a slower and less inter- esting game, while the Rules Commit- tee are very optimistic, and anticipate a more spectacular, faster, and more interesting game than that of previous years. Whether or not the new rules will accomplish their purpose remains to be seen.
The most radical changes are;
1. The distance to be gained in three downs in order to retain posses- sion of the ball, has been increased from five to ten yards. This change is directed against mass-play, which in years past has played a prominent role in the offensive game, and has met with universal disapproval on the part of the public and of the officials, who claim that such a style of play is too intricate for the spectator to follow, and causes too many fatalities.
2. The rule allowing one forward pass to each scrimmage, provided such
pass be made by' a player who was be- hind the line of scrimmage, provided such pass be made by a player who was behind the line of scrimmage when the ball was put in play, and provided the ball, after being passed forward, does not touch the ground before be- ing touched by a player of either side. Thus far, this experiment has not met with any great degree of success; but its development is being anxiously awaited.
3. When the ball has been kicked by any player on the kicking side, other than the snapper-back, it is any body's ball as soon as it touches the ground. This change has already proved to be the strongest factor in gaining the requisite ten yards in three downs; and it has excellent opportun- ities for still further development.
The best stroke made by the new rules is in the enforcement of disqual- ification and other penalties, such as the loss of the ball or loss of distance, to the team committing the foul, thus eliminating nearly all opportunities for foul play, which has heretofore been so prevalent in foot-ball.
Several other minor changes have been made which will easily make themselves apparent to the observer on the field, such as: no tackling below the knees, no hurdling over the line, or in open field, and the provision that time may be taken out only three times during the half, without the loss of two
THE STENTOR
yards or removing the player from the game.
On the whole, those who are fam- ilial with the game expect less fatalities this year than in previous years. How- ever, we must expect a few injuries, for every branch of sport is bound to have them; and such a strenuous game as foot-ball, where men come in con- tact with each other with great force, cannot but have its share.
It must be said in favor of the re- vised rules that they unquestionably place the smaller colleges on a more equal competing basis with the larger colleges and universities, than the old rules, in that they put a premium on speed and skill, rather than on weight. Herein lies Lake Forest's opportunity, if she will only avail herself of it.
This year, we have more available material in college for the game, than we had last fall; but as yet, it has not been very conspicuous upon the ath- letic field. It will be quite impossible to develop a team out of twelve or fourteen candidates, and in order to make a respectable showing for the college this fall, we must have more men,
New men are beginning to appear on the field, but with some degree of irregularity. However, prospects are brightening up, and if the increase in numbers continues, we will undoubted- ly be able to develop good quality from our quantity.
The few men who have been work- ing hard and consistently since the practice started have been making very favorable progress, and deserve great credit for their loyalty, not only to the sport, but to their College as well. If the other available men would follow the example set by these men, we could put a team upon the gridiron this fall that would ably represent its Alma Mater.
FOOT BALL SCHEDULE.
Manager Palmer has experienced much trouble in arranging this year's football schedule. The schedule as ar- ranged last spring was spoiled by the cancelation of games with Armour In- stitute, Knox, Northwestern College and St. Viateurs, these four colleges having dropped the game. Because of this it was necessary to arrange games with four teams that we have never played before, namely; Carroll College of Waukesha, Wis.; Oshkosh Normal, Beloit and Saint Louis Uni- versity.
The schedule as it now stands con- tains six college games and one open date, which will probably be filled with an out-of-town game. Four of these games are to be played at home, more than we have ever had before. Oct. 13 — Carroll College on Farwell Field.
,: 20 — Marquette College on Farwell Field.
" 27 — Open. Nov. 3 — Oshkosh Normal on Farwell Field.
" 10 — Beloit at Beloit.
17 — Monmouth on Farwell Field.
" 24 — St. Louis U. at St. Louis.
President Harlan and Dr. Boyle- are working out a plan by which once a month there will probably be a union Vesper Service in the Church for the College, Academy and Ferry Hall. At some, if not all, of these services there will be special music. The other services of the month will be held in the College and school Chapels, each of the three departments having its own serviee. At the Col- lege Vesper Service, on one of these Sundays, it is hoped that about once a month we may have the opportunity of hearing some distinguished preach- er from the outside.

An Explanation.
Some explanation, perhaps, is due our readers for the late appearance of the first issue of the STENTOR. The de- lay has been unavoidable. The editor and the manager-elect, Mr. Rath and Mr. C. Talcott, men whom we shall miss in many ways, other than as mem- bers of the Stentor Board, somewhat unexpectedly entered eastern colleges this fall, thus leaving two vacancies in the Board. These vacancies the Sen- ior class took upon itself to fill. This patched-up Board has been consider- ably handicapped, but we are earnest- ly endeavoring to make the Stentor all it would have been, and above all
to make it worthy of bearing the seal of Lake Forest College.
Our Policy.
The college paper has a place somewhat unique in the newspaper world. It must depend upon its con- stituency, not alone for financial sup- port, but, equally, for its general tone, aye, its very content. For this reason, partly, it is impossible to lay down an absolute policy: the policy must shape itself to meet the various and varying needs of the college community.
But we venture to lay down a few broad principles which will largely govern the attitude of the paper. The Stentor is primarily a student organ; it must in a large measure reflect stu- dent opinion. But, at the same time it has a very considerable reading pub- lic in the Alumni and the townspeople. Our pen must never lose sight of that. Again, the Stentor has no place in its columns for pessimism, or any un- wholesome "knocking" — it must be opti- mistic (! !) Neither has it space for petty factional contentions.
As to its general character, the Stentor willcontinucjto be, first of all, a newspaper, and then a literary pa- per. We hope to strengthen the liter- ary department, but that, gentle read- er, will depend on you\
As to Hazing.
It was with a sigh of relief that we heard the announcement of last Mon- day which brought to a peaceable close the unfortunate incident which has lately so stirred the college com- munity and given us so much undesir- able notoriety. Whatever we may think of the question of hazing, in gen- eral, and of the wisdom of the faculty's method of approaching that question, we are heartily glad that the death-

THE STENTOR
The first football game of the sea- son last Saturday resulted in a victory for the Academy over English High School of Chicago by a score of 15 to •0. Although the team showed lack of practice the individual work was of a high order. The old men on the team all displayed something of their last year's form. Bedell, McClurg, Simons and Savage among the new men were always in the play. While many of the plavs allowed by the new rules were used still the tactics in vogue last year were always used when the team gained consistently.

When the girls gathered in the chapel Wednesday afternoon, Septem- ber ig, for the opening service, one could see that the work of Miss H ughes, the Faculty, and students during the past year had not been in vain. There is a total enrollment of 128 girls — 117 boarding pupils and 11 day pupils. Ferry Hall is full and we are proud to say that the long-hoped-for waiting list is now a reality.
There are several new members of the Faculty. Miss Emily Dixon of Lakeville, Conn., takes Miss Julia Pickett's place as teacher of English and History. Miss Dixon is a gradu- ate of Mt. Holyoke, and taught last year in that college.
Miss Edwina Dorland of Chicago takes Miss Hewitt's place as librarian and Miss Deyo's place as teacher of Greek. She is a graduate of the University of Chicago.
One new position has been added to the Faculty, that of official chaperon. Miss Darrow of Denver, holds the pos- ition. She was chaperon at Rockford College last year.
Mr. Victor Heinze, of the Cosmo- politan School of Music and Dramatic
Art of Chicago and formerly director of the Heinze School of Leschetizky Piano Playing is director of the piano department. Mr. Clarence Eidam of Chicago, a pupil of Mr. Heinze, has been chosen assistant in the depart- ment. The whole department is under the critical supervision of Mr. Heinze. Miss Annie Hughes has charge of the infirmary.
The Y. W. C. A. entertained the second Friday night at a baby party. The new girls and Faculty came dressed as babies, and the old girls as nurses. The children marched and played in the amusement hall, then re- freshments of cookies, animal crackers, candy and peanuts were served. The party ended with singing.
The Senior class organized early in the week with a dozen members. The following officers were elected:
President, Edna McEldowney.
Vice President, Zola Harry.
Secretary, Esther Stewart.
Treasurer, Ruth Moerdyke.
Last Friday noon the Juniors daringly announced their meeting for organization, evidently relying on
THE STENTOR
1 1
their number to protect them. They found that the Seniors were more than a match for them, and there was no meeting that noon. That evening they secretly gathered and organized, ■electing the following officers:
President, Florence Baker.
Vice President, Alice Palmer.
Secretary, Helen Chesley.
Treasurer, Mabel Hardin.
Dr. Boyle addressed the Y. W. C. A. at its first prayer meeting service September 26. This was the first of a series of talks on the book of Philip- pians. Zola Harry sang.
Dr. Harlan and Dr. Boyle were present at the opening chapel service to welcome the new girls back to the school, and the old girls back from their summer vacation.
The first Friday evening each old girl took two new girls to dinner and afterward to the amusement hall, and a part of the evening was spent in dancing.
The next Saturday evening the Faculty gave the usual reception to the girls. Everyone thoroughly en- joyed this opportunity to get acquaint- ed.
Most of the Faculty, Seniors and new girls attended the reception given Thursday afternoon, Sept 27, by Dr. and Mrs. Harlan. It was a very en- joyable affair and helped greatly to increase the feeling of friendliness be- tween the three departments.
The Ferry Hall reunion will be held October 18 and 20. Hosts of old girls are planning to come and a great time is expected. The program will be as follows: Friday evening, a re- ception; Saturday morning, an enter- tainment; Saturday noon, class re- unions; Saturday afternoon, exercises in Smith Hall including a historical
address by Dr. McClure and addresses by Dr. Nathaniel Butler of the Univers- ity of Chicago, and Dr. Halsey. Sat- urday evening there will be an inform- al supper and toasts.
Many old girls have been about the house since school opened, Mary Windle, Julia Bocher, Frances Noak, Maud Springer, Florence Cum- mings, Sarah Monier, Ethel Rogerson, Edna Bruen and Louise Graham.
Miss Eloise Brinkman '05, was married October 1, to Mr. Milo White of Fremont, Mich.
On November 29 will occur the marriage of Miss Louise Graham to Mr. Charles Dudley of Grand Rapids, Mich. Mr. Dudley is a brother of Miss Helene Dudley '06.
Miss Emma Paddock sails in a few days for Europe with her mother. In London she will be married to Mr. Pablo Horns, a native of Spain. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Horns will be in Paris.

THE STENTOR
ALUMNI.
Through no fault of the present Editors, the first number or the STKN- TOK goes late to its other friends and to the Alumni. But the usual number af issues will be sent out during the year, and the present board of editors is disposed to give ample space for news of the Alumni . . '•
How much of this news there shall be, depends upon the Alumni them- selves; a few items come unsought and therefore, doubly welcome, but al- most all that appears in this column is drawn as with forceps. We want "live" matter out of your own doings and ex- periences; the only duty of the editor should be to change what comes to him, from the first to the third person.
This number of the STENTOR, ac- cording to the custom of the last few years, is sent out to a large number of Alumni and former students, to re- mind them that the thirty-first year of the College is now opening, and in the the hope that they will wish to follow the events of the year through sub- scribing to the paper. By such sub- scription you'll keep in touch with a live institution, and help us to make a better paper.
The first Autumn meeting of the Chicago Alumni Club was held at the Press Club on the morning of October ist, with an attendance of about twen- ty-five. In the absence of President Betten, the Vice-President, A. O. Jackson occupied the chair. No busi- ness was transacted beyond the appointment of a committee to find a place where the club can meet in more private quarters, as its num- bers are growing, and the average at- tendance is more stable. Beyond the ordinary conversation, short informal talks were given by Benedict, J. H. Lee, Crozier, Lewis and Clos.
The following extract from the Logansport, lnd., Journal of Sept. 13th,, speaks for itself, and for "Fergy's" special brand of enthusiasm. The roll of clubs now stands Chicago, New York, Logansport.
"The first annual meeting of the Lake Forest Club was held last night at the Burnett Hotel. The club is composed of graduates and former students of Lake Forest University, living in this city. Twenty members of the Club were present at the meet- ing, which concluded with a banquet. Officers for the coming year were elected and are: VV. H. Ferguson, President; James Kimbrough, Vice- President; Miss Gertrude Lamb, Sec- retary and Treasurer.
An incident of the summer, inter- esting to their friends in Lake Forest, and to many former students, was the celebration at Meadowhurst, Vernon. New York, of the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Amzi Benedict. Mr. Benedict was for years a trustee and warm friend of the College, and it is his son who now sits in the Board as the second Alumni trustee to be chos- en.
Married at Chelsea, Mass., July 3d, Miss Blanche Evelyn Forest, to Mr. Milton C. Cooper. Mrs. Cooper was for three years instructor in gymnastics in Ferry Hall and the College, and won many friends here. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper are to live at 5319 Greene Street, Germantown, Philadelphia, Pa.

New Buildings
Great interest has been manifested among the students, alumni and friends of the College in the plans for the new buildings which are, a few years hence, to make Lake Forest one of the best, and the most beautiful colleges in the middle west. Accordingly, President Harlan has kindly given us the fol- lowing regarding the building plans:
Blackstone Hall, the first of the men's dormitories to be built, will stand on the west side of the main campus about 175 feet back from the Sheridan Road and on a line with the west wall of the Chapel. It will start about 150 feet south of the porte cochere of the Chapel, and will extend in a southerly direction, parallel with the Sheridan Road, toward that cor- ner of the campus where the students, on their way back from the Academy and Farwell Field, strike the diagonal foot-path leading across the campus. Near that point the building turns southeast at an angle of 45 degrees, and stops within a few feet of the foot- path just mentioned. The building will be two stories high, except in this short leg of the building standing at an angle, where it will be three and a half stories high, thus forming a tower which will be a worthy counterpart of the beautiful Gothic tower of the Chapel.
Blackstone Hall will contain accommodations for from 36 to 38
students. There will be eight suites of rooms containing a study and two bed rooms and an open fire place. The other rooms-will be single rooms — that is, bedroom and study combined, and will be cheaper. The two rooms in the tower facing southeast will be unusually attractive,
The complete Campus Plan calls for the ultimate erection of an exact counterpart of Blackstone Hall, so reversed that its tower, together with the tower of Blackstone Hall, which, would only be forty feet away, would form a kind of gateway to the campus for the students coming from the Academy or Farwell Fieid. Beginning at this point with a three story tower and continuing in a southeasterly- direction for a few feet the building would then turn at an angle of 45 degrees and would run due east, paral- lel to the ravine dividing the main campus from Mr. Granger FarwelPs property. This last mentioned por- tion of the second dormitory would be two stories high and would thus form the exact counterpart of the cor- responding portion of Blackstone.
These two dormitories, when com- pleted, will form a remarkably beauti- ful group. The style is to be Tudor- Gothic, and material will be red brick,, with stone trimmings.
If favored by good weather, the contractors expect to get Blackstone

JAPAN'S REPRESENTATIVE TO LAKE FOREST.
Among the new students whom Lake Forest College welcomes this year is a friend and compatriot of our Japanese alumnus, Sochichi Asada. Mr. Akira Izumi, who comes to Lake Forest as a senior, received his prepa- ration in the public schools of Japan and was graduated from Sapora Agricultural College in '98. He came to the United States in 1900 and at- tended Leland Stanford 1900-02. After he receives his B. A. degree here he expects to get his M. A. at the Univer- sity of Wisconsin and then to take a post graduate course in International Law at Columbia. His ultimate pur- pose is to become a member of Japan's diplomatic service.

Lahe Forest 40, Carroll College 4.
First Game Under New Rules Easy Victory.
The game last Saturday between Lake Forest and Carroll College showed that this year's squad though light, more than makes up for its lack of weight by speed and aggressive- ness. The two teams were of about equal weight, and this being the first game for Lake Forest under the new rules no one expected such a large score.
Captain Gibbs won the toss and chose the west goal. The kickoff went to Callahan who was downed on our 40 yard line. Two short gains were made through the line and Callahan punted. Carroll failed to gain and punted to Milner, losing about tvventy yards on the exchange of kicks. Shroyer and Keithley were good for seven yards and Callahan tried a place kick but failed. Carroll was again forced to punt and then the fun began. Paul Stoltz started on a quarter back run around right end and made a for- ward pass to Callahan, which netted about twenty yards, then Milner was sent around left end for thirty more and Callahan was pushed over for the first touchdown after about seven minutes of play. Keithley kicked goal.
After this the game was much the same. Captain Gibbs and Shroyer could always be counted on for sub-
stantial gains. Milner and Callahan broke away for several long runs; and Keithley made a perfect score at kicking goals.
Carroll's only score came toward ♦Le last of the second half when Wil- liams made a pretty place kick from the thirty yard line.
The new men showed up well. Paul Stoltz ran the team with excellent judgement; Mather looked good at end, and Newport, Berkheiser and Maguire were strong in the center of the line. Several other new men were put in, but too late in the game to do much.
Captain Gibbs was fairly well pleased but thought that the game was too easy to determine the real strength of the team and intimated that a little hard scrimmage was needed to take off a few rough edges before the Mar- quette game. Lineup:

Great credit is due the men on the Carroll team for their sportsman- like conduct throughout the game. They played a clean game and took the defeat gracefully.
Meeting of Athletic Association.
The first meeting of the Athletic Association was held last Friday even- ing atlthe Art Institute. The meeting was held largely for the purpose of arousing enthusiasm for the ensuing football season — and particularly for last Saturday's game.
A test vote was incidentally taken to "feel the pulse" of the students, in regard to their desire to continue the game of football at Lake Forest Col- lege. The result was an enthusiastic and unanimous acclamation for its re- tention as one of the departments of our athletics.
Coach Vaughan addressed the meeting, and said that the college spirit, from an athletic viewpoint, that has thus far been displayed on the campus, was more spontaneous and sincere than he had ever seen it since his arrival at Lake Forest College as coach. He spoke very hopefully for a very successful football season; that the team will furnish the best football in its power. All that is want- ed is staunch support and loyalty on the part of the students!
The following officers of the Association were elected: .
Vice President — Chester Wharton.
Treasurer — Howard Shroyer.
Secretary — Floyd Berkheiser.
It was also arranged that hence- forth, a committee composed of the managers of the Athletic and Debating teams and the Garrick and Glee Clubs,
should do <)•// the soliciting and con- trolling of contributions from outside friends and supporters of the various- students enterprises.
The other speakers were Keithley,. Gibbs and Palmer.
Hand Ball.
Some interest is being aroused in hand ball. Few better games than this can be found for the developement of speed and the use of both hands with precision. Through the kindness of Mr. Crozier the court in the gym- nasium has been rebuilt and Mr. Brad- street is on hand with a rule book,, ready to coach those who wish to learn the game. Efforts are being made to arouse enough interest to make possible a tournament with a cup for the winner.
THE FIRST BONFIRE.
The men of the class of '10 seem to be possessed with a very energetic and commendable enthusiasm. On the evening after the football victory, last Saturday, they found that this enthus- iasm had developed to such propor- tions that it either had to have an out- let or it would burst them individually. The outlet took the form of a minia- ture bonfire. It also formed an outlet for some elegant extempore oratory — Palmer, Gibbs, Bloom '06, and "Mother", Chapman, '06, were the speakers.
Suggestion to Freshmen — From the way the team is playing we will need material for six or seven bonfires — look around!
We wonder if the architects would accept any suggestions for the building of the new dormitory? Have they provided for a trunk room in their plans?

The Literary Societies.
At this time of the year, it seems fitting, indeed almost necessary, to speak briefly of a department, not in the college curriculum, but which, nevertheless, deserves the recognition and careful consideration of every stu- dent, namely, the literary society work.
There can hardly be the shadow of a doubt that no other department in the college can give one equal re- turns, in proportion to the compara- tively small amount of time expended, if he goes into the work with vim. We ■do not venture to make this statement upon our own authority — it is the ver- dict of experienced men. Here are a
few of the claims of the literary socie- ty:— it teaches one to think on his feet; it makes him think consecutively; it gives clarity of thought and expres- sion;it teaches the value of defeat, and how to profit by it; and it gives oppor- tunity for putting to practical use the knowledge gained through study, trav- el, or any set of experiences — all this and more to him who wills!
At the risk of being commonplace we have made these (ew remarks; but if the attention, especially of the new students, has at all been directed to this line of work, it has not been in vain.
Lake Forest has three strong liter- ary societies, ready to welcome you to these privileges — think it over!
"Private Ownership" of Ravines.
Not long ago in the course of a ramble, we came up from the beach through one of Lake Forest's beauti- ful ravines. Just as we emerged from the seclusion of the ravine, we were hailed by the ever present watchman and warned not to trespass again. It It rather upset us to be thus suddenly forbidden one of our favorite walks.
It made us think. Can it be that the beauty of Lake Forest is only for the few? Is it to be enjoyed only by those who are blessed (or cursed) with a little more wealth than we possess? Lake Forest's greatest beauty, next to her proximity to the lake, lies in these ravines, and we believe that no man has the right to forbid our enjoying them ! !

The following communication is deemed very opportune and well worth the notice of the students and faculty: Dear Editor:
It has been reported that the Bookbindery in College Hall is to be discontinued. Permit me to regis- ter a protest. The bookbindery not only affords what may be termed a most pleasurable laboratory course in English, but also supplies a want. I understand that last year the book- bindery was so great a commodity to the students and professors that nearly five hundred dollars were saved by them in binding magazines and rebind- ing delapidated, but valuable, manu- scripts and volumes.
It may be found difficult to re- place Professor Jack as an instructor in bookbindery, but there is now a young man on the campus who is a professional bookbinder and who for a very nominal sum would take a class and would soon teach those desirous of learning the art, the most necessary tricks of the trade.
The library expends nearly $600 annually in bookbindery. If properly attended to the college bindery could do the greater part of the work at a great saving. I hope that the student body will feel with me the great need of maintaining this sub-department in English and that they will bring their influence to bear upon the authorities to desist from discontinuing the book- bindery.
Yours respectfully,
A Student.
PROFESSOR JACK TO SELL HIS TENNYSONIANA.
It is rumored that the notable col- lection of first editions and other rare copies of Tennyson, which Professor Jack has been gathering for many years, is to be put on sale next January. The following interesting item, con- cerning this collection, appeared in The Post of last Wednesday:
A rare and interesting collection
is that of the Tennysoniana of Profes- sor Albert E. Jack of Pake Forest University, said by Thomas J. Wise the English collector and bibliographer, to be the most notable collection of Tennysoniana ever formed in this country, and comparing favorably with many in England. In this library will be found practically all of the ex- cessively rare privately printed poems, and in immaculate condition, in tne original wrappers and uncut, such as "The Cup," "Promise of May," "The Falcon," ''The Sailor Boy" and other first editions. Of the rarity of some of these, it is only necessary to say that of the "Promise of May," for ex- ample, which was privately printed for the author in London, 1882, only two copies have been offered at auction in the last twenty years, one being the Arnold copy, which sold in May igoir for $430. This was in the original wrappers as is the present one. The next year the Morgan copy bound in morrocco, brought $331. "The Sailor Boy" of which twenty-five copies were privately printed for the author in 1861, has appeared only once bringing $275. "The Cup" printed for the- author in 1881, has fetched from $250 to $350, according to the condition and binding. "The Falcon," printed for the author in 1879, brings propor- tionately the same figures. Besides this quartett of excessive rarities, there are other inordinately scarce items, in- cluding "Carmen Secular," "Passing of Arthur," "Timbuctoo," the first col- lected edition of the poems, and "Poems by Two Brothers," as well as the original issues of the various magazines and other similar publica- tions in which a poem of Tennyson has first appeared.
Another edition of Lewis — from appearance a De Luxe edition too.

Last Saturday the Academy team -scored its second victory, defeating the strong east side high school of Milwau- kee by a score of 6 to 0. Lake Forest ■was weakened by the absence of Runkle and Simons but played a •clever game. Bedell starred in the line while Captain Schnur took the honors in the back field. The short kick was worked repeatedly for good gains and was the cause of the scoring, Schnur getting the ball and running 30 yards for a touchdown. Summary: Lake Forest [6J East Side [oj

The Ferry Hall Reunion.
As the long expected reunion ap- proaches, every devise for ingratiating the weather-man is being put in prac- tise, lest he frown on us and send us all indoors. The responses to the in vitation have been many, and every- thing points to a large — very large — and enthusiastic celebration. More guests have asked for accommodation on Friday night than can possibly be entertained at the school and through the courtesy of the Lake Forest resi- dents a number of these guests will be entertained in private homes.
On Friday evening a reception to the former students and the friends of the sehool will be given by the Facul- ty. On Saturday afternoon a lunch- eon in Smith Hall for out-of-town guests will be followed by brief toasts and songs from the Ferry Hall Glee Club. At two o, clock, instead of half after one as previously announced, the formal exercises will take place in Smith Hall lecture room, The pro- gram will consist of a historical address by Dr. McClure, remarks by Dr. Na- thanael Butlerof the University of Chi- cago, Dr. Halsey, Dr. Harlan and Dr. Boyle. Music will be rendered by the Glee Club. The students of the col- lege and Academy are cordirlly invited to attend these exercises.

THE GARRICK CLUB
New
!etl\oci of Awarding in Effect
emberships Now
The usual manner of competing" for membership on the Garrick Club has been changed to a more practical method. The former method, namely the rendition of a reading, was hardly a sufficient proof of the required his- trionic ability, since all readers and elocutionists are not actors, and vice versa. An active membership in the Garrick Club requires something more: the ability to portray a part in word and in action, and in harmony with the other members of the cast, is something entirely different from re- citing "Little Mabel at the window pane" touchingly and expressively. It is an allied, but quite different and more difficult art. Therefore the managers of the Club and Professor Clapp are quite justified in demanding a better proof of Thespic power than a declamation affords.
The new method which has been adopted for deciding on who are tal- ented enough for a place on the club is as follows: Two short farces, chosen by Directer Clapp, are to be placed in the library. Contestants for member-
ship are to read them over and to de- cide upon the part or parts in which they could best display their ability. They are then to take these parts and read them privately to Professor Clapp. This will be the preliminary test. The reading of the part will dem- onstrate to Professor Clapp whether the contestant has enough ability to go ahead in the competition. He will pick out the fifteen who prove most promising and they will form the cast of characters in a public presentation of the farce. This public presentation will be the final test. The contestants whole behavior, stage presence and original interpretation of his lines, will decide whether he is fit for the Garrick Club or not.
There are now more than thirty who will try for a membership and the competition is far more spirited than ever before in the history of the Club, and so it should be for the mem- bership on the Garrick is nearly as great an honor for the successful student as is one on the Glee Club, debating or athletic teams. Eight memberships are open for the contest.

CHEMISTRY MEETINGS.
Professor McKee has made plans for meetings of his chemistry classes, to be held once a week, at which papers are to be presented by the members on subjects pertaining to chemical science. The meetings will occur on Friday of each week at I p. m., until further notice. All interested are in- vited to attend.
At the first meeting, last Friday, Mr. Sturdevant presented some facts in regard to slight variations from the law of the conservation of matter, as shown by a number of typical chem- ical reactions. Mr. Stone discussed a method of making alcohol from saw- dust. A process, by which the waste material from saw mills can be turned into a valuable commercial substance, was invented about three years ago and has finally been perfected. As the supply of coal and oil gradually becomes exhausted, the necessity for the substitution of other forms of fuel has awakened much interest in the subject of alcohol.
QUARTETTE ASSISTS IN G. 0. P. CAMPAIGN
A double quartette consisting of Dickey and Barrett, first tenor; Munger and Keithley, second tenor; Marquis and Thompson, first bass; Talcott and McCrea, second bass; is assisting Mr. David Jackson in creat- ing a perfect harmony, in local politi- cal meetings.
Last Tuesday evening they ap- peared at Rockefeller, and succeeded admirably in keeping the audience awake, at least between speeches. The quartette is to appear again at Ravinia in the near future.
The University of Pennsylvania dedicated its new engineering build- ing Friday.
NOBLE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE OF LATE
MISS WADDELL ENDOWS A HOSPITAL
BED.
The following clipping, relating to Miss Waddell, an ex 'or, who, it will be remembered, died a year ago last spring, appeared in the Daily News of last week. It is a fine tribute to, and it gives an excellent insight into, the noble character of the woman:
"This is my idea of making 'life worth living.'
Thus ends the creed of Miss Louise M. J. Waddell, who died re- cently. The short paragraph of phil- osophy which was her legacy to the world, has been printed on cards, and the sale of these to charitable persons of Chicago has netted $2,000 to endow a bed in the Michael Reese hospital to be named in honor of Miss Waddell
The young woman who was a nurse at the hospital, left behind her some interesting maxims written on a scrap of paper which was found among her effects. Through the nurses asso- ciation at the hospital, her philosophy was printed on several thousand cards, which were sold to endow a bed in her honor.
"To be happy, hopeful, bouyant, kind, loving from the very depths of my heart, considerate and thoughtful regarding the peculiarities and eccen- tricities of human nature, adjusting myself to each so as to produce harmony and not friction; to be pure in word, thought and deed; broad minded and liberal, not given to petty denunciation of my fellows; moderate in methods of life; never adding a burden or a sorrow where a little fore- thought would give pleasure; not hasty in speech or action; sincere, candid and truthful in ever}- detail; conscientious in the execution of every duty; composed, unpretentious and simple, keeping close to nature's

VESPER SERVICE
President Harlan addressed the students last Sunday afternoon on "Friendship"; taking for his text Proverbs 27:17, "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend". The speaker showed clearly the accountability of a friend for the life and character of his friend; it is the highest office of friendship to strengthen the character of a friend, but it is a perverted and accursed friendship that drags another down in- to sin.
It was an altogether interesting and timely message.
THOMAS ORCHESTRA PROGRAM
The following is the program for the third rehearsal and concert, (Octo- ber 26 and 27,)of theThomas orchestra:

To The Stentor's question as to whether the architects have provided for trunk room in their plans for the new dormitory, the President writes, "There will be two trunk rooms, taking up the entire attic space, measuring in all, over go feet by 35. Will that be enough for the boys' trunks?"
THE FORESTER.
The manager and editor of the '07 Forester make the following announce- ment:
"The 1908 Forester boxes are to be ound in North Hall, College Hall and Lois Hall ready to receive contribu- tions. This year at least three prizes will be offered. Five dollars will be given for the best collection of jokes, five dollars for the best original idea of any kind and three dollars for best local farce. As the Forester will ap- pear earlier than last year's book the contributions will have to be in early." Paul B. Sommers, Manager. Lincoln Dickey, Editor.

The men of the Association were considerably disappointed by the non- appearance, last Thursday night.of Mr. McKnight, student secretary for Illinois His failure to appear was probably due to a confiiction of dates. We hope to have him here very soon.
Wharton took charge of the meet- ing, taking for the subject the story of David and Goliath. "Be Yourself" and "Despise not humble instruments"' were the chief thoughts brought out in the meeting'.

Day of Victory for Lake Forest
LAKE FOREST 11, MARQUETTE 0.
MilwauKeeans Put up a Game Fight, But Are a Little too Slow.
Lake Forest played her second game of the season on Farwell Field last Saturday, against Marquette Col- lege of Milwaukee, and was victorious again. The visitors had a heavy team, outweighing us by almost ten pounds to the man, but they lacked the speed and endurance shown by our men.
As was expected the game was hard fought throughout. The playing was fast and snappy and for the greater part, in the open, which pleased the spectators. The general opinion is that it was the fastest andjbest' played game seen here for some time.
Punting was frequent but the for- ward pass and short kick were seldom used, most of the gains being made by straight football. In the first half Lake Forest played a defensive game, punting frequently on first down. Although the ball was in Marquette territory most of this half our only at- tempt to score was a place kick which fell short.
After the first few minutes ot play it was seen that Marquette could do nothing through the line, and on nearly every attempt to circle our •ends the runner was thrown back for a loss.
In the second half our team
started in to score, and the ball was carried steadily down the field. Calla- han made a pretty run of twenty yards and Milner covered the remain- ing thirty for the first touchdown, while the defense was waiting for the play to start. Keithley tried to kick goal from a difficult angle and missed by a few inches. Soon after this Mather got the ball on a short kick and ran fifteen yards for the second touchdown and Keithley kicked goal.
The Marquette players the most in evidence were Captain Foley, Hake and Nolan. For the stars for Lake Forest read the line-up.

IMPROVEMENTS IN GYMNASIUM
First Game of Season, Fast and Well Played —Miss Merry Stars at Throwing Goals.
The women's basketball team opened its season last Saturday morn- ing by defeating the Waukegan High Schoolgirls 29 to 11 in an exciting game. The Waukegan team showed excellent work at times but was out- classed.
Miss Nesbit, as usual took good care of center, while Hall and Stryker kept the Waukegan forwards from throwing too many field goals. The feature of the game was the work of the Freshmen forwards, Haughey and Merry, especially the basket throwing of Merry who made the greater part of Lake Forest's score. The Lois Hall team played an exceptionally fast game and handled the ball well and should have little trouble in making the sea- son a success.
Waukegan High School lined up as follows:
H. Palefout, center; Payne and Dady, guards; Heydecker and B. Pale- fout, forwards.

An Appeal for the Revival of Interest in Gymnasium WorK
Since last season several much needed improvements have been made- in the gymnasium. The locker room has a new cement floor, a new set of steel lockers, and another shower bath is on the way. Upstairs the hand- ball court has been rebuilt and work has begun on a new running track. The old track was not banked properly and for this reason very little indoor track work was possible, more sprains than benefits resulting from the at- tempts. The new track, however, is being built on scientific lines and will be about four laps to the mile longer than the old one. This will make pos- sible some interesting indoor meets.
The regular gymnasium classes will not begin work until the latter part of November, but Mr. Bradstreet will be in the gymnasium on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and urges everyone not out for football to come out for cross country runs or hand ball, as the results of such work are invalu- able to a man whether he intends to try for a team or not. Trophies have been offered for both cross country and hand ball and are expected to be on exhibition soon. These trophies, however, will not be awarded unless there is sufficient competition, and it is up to every man that possibly can, to come out of his hole and help make things exciting.
Come out! It will make a man of you and besides a cup or two would look good in your room.
Co-eds of the Nebraska State University will be given instructions hereafter in boxing and swimming as well as other athletic exercises.

As To Library Hours
During the past few years, there have been frequent spasmodic at- tempts among the students of the col- lege to secure better and longer library hours. They have been fruitless, how- ever, chiefly through lack of continued interest, and of an active campaign. The question has come up again this year; but this year we feel, there is a decidedly more active interest sur- rounding it.
We have an excellent library, few better can be found among the colleges ■of the middle west; but, in all candor we say it, our library hours are very poor. This is the situation: the librarv
opens at eight-thirty in the morning, closes at twelve; opens again at one, and closes for the day at five. He who has a vacant period at eight, can only use half an hour of it at the library; access to the library is denied during the hour immediately following lunch, which would doubtless be one of the most popular reading hours of the day and the library is not open at all in the evening after dinner, or on Satur- day afternoon. We probably do not realize that a large majority of the men students are either wholly or partly self supporting: that means that most of these men have very little opportunity of using the library in the morning, because of classes, and in the afternoon they are at work. Be- sides this, fully one-half the students have work in science, which takes (theoretically only two hours) prac- tically all afternoon. Surely it is no wonder that no more students use the library than are now using it.
What we want and really need, as we conceive, is that the library should be open a couple of hours in the even- ing. We realize that the libiarian's hours are long, as it is; we understand that this would entail some little ex- pense for light and heat. We know too, that comparatively few small colleges have taken such a step. (The majority of larger institutions, how- ever, keep their libraries open till ten in the evening.) But we believe that none of these objections should stand in the way of this step in our advance toward the attainment of the true scholarly spirit, which should character- ize Lake Forest.
Yale is selling season tickets for all home athletic contests, at $5 each. The ticket is transferable.

Events of the Week
THE UNIVERSITY CLUB.
The University Club will hold its first meeting of the year at the home of President Harlan tonight. The item of greatest interest in the pro- gram of the evening will be a series of readings from her own works, by Mrs. Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews, who has written quite extensively, during the past few years, for the prominent magazines of this country.
FRESHMAN BEACH PARTY.
The Class of '10 at last made good their escape on last Wednesday even- ing and hied them away for a little frolic on the beach. All but three of their number were present to partici- pate in the youthful gambols, which made up the program of the evening. After spending thus pleasantly some two hours they demolished the "feed," and went, singing, homeward. Miss Davis and Joe Milner acted as chape- rones for the class.

VESPER SERVICE.
The Vesper Service of last Sun- day afternoon was of unusual interest, and very well attended. The talk of th° afternoon was given by Mr. Chas. D. Hurrey, a Michigan '06 man, and at present a member of the International Committee of the Young Men's Chris- tian Association.
Mr. Hurrey stated that many false appeals have been made to students,, in behalf of Christianity, and then he enumerated some of the characteristics- of Jesus Christ which really command the admiration, the homage, the love of the strongest students of our col- leges. Christ, in all his divinity, was perfectly natural, absolutely without cant or artificiality; he was rugged, and a great lover of out-door life; he was a character, of the highest and noblest achievements; his wisdom was infinite — for these reasons, and not because of the promise of future reward, or punishment, does the personality of

JAMES S. HARLAN, INTER-STATE COM- MERCE COMMISSIONER.
A short time ago we heard of the appointment, by President Roosevelt, of James S. Harlan> brother of our own. President Harlan, to the office of Inter- State Commerce Commissioner. In the Outlook of October 27 is an article, by H. S. Brown, on "The New Inter- State Commerce Commissioners," in which appears an extended mention of Mr. Harlan and his appointment, to- gether with his picture. Mr. Harlan at forty was appointed Attorney-General of Porto Rico; at forty-six he is serving as Inter-State Commerce Commis- sioner. It is said that not a word of criticism has followed his appointment.
SACRED SONG SERVICE.
On the coming Sunday afternoon at 4:45 the students of the college, of Ferry Hall and the Academy will meet with the people of the church in a ser- vice which promises to be both beauti- ful and inspiring. The quartette of the church will sing two numbers, one of them being the anthem "Soft Floating on the Evening Air". The Lois Du- rand Hall Glee Club will give one num- ber and it is very probable that eight college men will sing "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." A most attractive part of the service which will be almost solely musical will be two numbers in which organ, harp and violin will be used. To close Miss Graham will sing Mascagne's Ave Maria with organ, harp violin accompaniment.

Many Rooters Expected to Go to Beloit Trip a Good One.
For several years Beloit has been one of our chief opponents in track, baseball, and debate, but we have never played football against them.
On Saturday, November 10, our team goes there for the first football game between the two colleges, and we must win. We have a team that we can put confidence in, but don't stay at home and await the result. There will be nothing doing here on that day. Go to Beloit and help the team win ! You can do it. Neither college has any use for quitters, and the game will be a fight from start to finish. It will be well worth seeing.
The trip is an easy one to make, being both short and inexpensive. The team leaves here at eight o'clock- Saturday morning and will return that evening. The entire trip is on the Northwestern line, so that there will be no inconvenience caused by having to change from one station to another, and if a sufficient number goes a special car will probably be chartered. Palmer will take the names of those who wish to go.
Get your rooting apparatus in good working order at the game with Oshkosh. Save your shekels and help make our only out of town game a victory ! 1
Men in Good Condition for Saturday's Game —Team Sees Chicago-Indiana Game.
As no game was scheduled for last Saturday, the Football team took ad- vantage of the opportunity to see Chi- cago and Indiana play at Marshall Field.
In spite of the open date, practice was kept up as hard as usual last week, and signd practice, a stiff scrimmage with the heavy Academy team and an occasional game of racer for the "wind," kept the men from getting lazy.
This year the long list of injured that we have almost always had before, is missing. Only a few minor injuries have occurred, and the team should be in excellent condition to meet Osh- hosh Normal next Saturday.
Little is known here of the Osh- kosh team, but it is said to be a strong one, and a close game is expected.
The Machine.
The spirit shown this year by both the team and the rooters has been good. Keep it going.
We have never played Oshkosh before, so we must introduce Lake Forest hospitality as well as football to
them.

It was found that the students have been slow in payingtheir usual athletic fee.
Prospects have never been better than they are now for good teams in every department. With good teams we want good schedules, and to have these it is necessary that every one who is interested in the welfare of our athletics and wants to see the year made a success, pays his dues promptly.
The Athletic Board of Control consists of Professor Burnap president, Wharton vice-president, Floyd Berk- heiser secretary, Shroyer treasurer, Palmer and Gibbs for football, Calla- han for basketball, Thalman and Mil- ner for baseball, Talcott and Harvey for track, Dickey for tennis, Miss Nes- bit for the Lois Hall Basket Ball Team.
Wharton, Otto, and Crouch at- tended the State Y. M. C. A. Conven- tion which was held at Aurora on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of last week. Over four hundred delegates representing nearly every college or university in the state, and all the va- rious departments of the association, were in attendance.
The Sigma Tau "At Home".
(Note : This should have appeared in last issue.)
The Sigma Tau Sorority received their friends at home on last Friday afternoon. The hostesses are to be commended upon the quaint and taste- ful manner in which they arranged the entertainment. The hall was beau- tifully illumined and decorated with autumn foliage. A dainty luncheon and dancing added to the general en- joyment, and all in all a very pleasur- able afternoon was spent by all pre- sent.
The University of Michigan is con- sidering the advisability of opening the reading reference departments of the libraries on Sunday. Althougth the authorities have not yet definitely made up their mind to brave the storm of religious protest which will invaria- bly ensue should the libraries be open on the first day of the week, it is con- sidered very probable that they will do so. The proposed innovation is for the particular benefit of the stu- dents in the medical and other profes- sional schools who receive scant oppor- tunity to use the reading rooms throughout the week. Much opposi- tion has had to be overcome even in the faculty itself. Outside among the people of the state, it is considered likely that a general storm of opposi- tion will have to be met before the proposed change can be made. Stud- ent opinion, however, is much in favor of the new scheme. — Daily Maroon.

Library May Be Opened at Night.
We are informed, unofficially as yet, that the petition of the men of the college for the opening of the library in the evening has not only not met with opposition, among those who have the library in charge, but that it has been received with favor. This practically means the granting of that petition. A meeting of the Library Committee was held yesterday; just what they did we cannot say, but we are partly assured that the scheme will be given a trial till, perhaps, Christmas.
If it so happens — as we have every reason to hope it will, — we have the
light to make these two appeals: First, those who signed the petition, and nearly every man signed it, are in duty bound to make better and more con- stant use of the library. If this is to become permanent, we must, make the committee see that it has been a real need. The second appeal we would make to the professors, that they shall insist even more strongly than at pres- ent, upon the reference work, and out- side reading which they assign.
If such results are realized — and they should be — then this movement will prove of far greater worth than it cost.
Our Thanhs, Mr. Swift!
We know we are voicing student opinion when we express our gratitude to Mr. L. F. Swift for reconstructing the gymnasium running track. The work is being done on scientific lines and is being pushed to a rapid com- pletion. The new- track will afford ample opportunity for the training of runners, both short and long-distance; it should considerably improve our track work. This kindness of Mr. Swift means much to us — we can best show our appreciation by making use of the new track.
COMMUNICATION ON FINANCIAL SITUATION OF ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
By request we print the following- letter written by Frskine, "06, to Presi- dent Harlan at the close of the second semester of last year. The letter deals with the financial situation of the Ath- letic Association at that time, and it contains the basis of what may almost be termed a pledge, upon the strength of which Frskine and Chapman were enabled to raise money to cover the deficit. For this reason, despite the fact that the writer has been misin-

formed in some particulars, and be- cause it contains some points which should be discovered to the student body, we print it.
June 22nd, 1906. My Dear President Harlan:
"In accordance with your request I wish to make some report in the matter of the indebtedness now rest- ing upon the Athletic Association and to seek your counsel as to the best methods of meeting the present diffi- culty and avoiding a repetition of the present indebtedness.
"We are closing the year with a debt amounting to $125.00. We feel that some explanation is due from the student body as to the reason for this debt.
"During the early autumn the for- mer President of the Board of Trus- tees very generously offered to pay half of the expense of installing one hundred new lockers in the Gymnas- ium, besides repairing the old ones, provided the students would pay the remaining half. In an excess of en- thusiasm that pledge was given by one or two men on behalf of the student body, without the authority of the Board of Athletic Control. The stud- ents responded to some extent, per- haps to the extent of their ability, but the amount proved to be much too large to be saddled upon asingle year's budget, and at the same time keep up the standard of our athletic work.
"Thus, through no one's fault, in particular, the Association drifted into the position in which it now finds itself at the end of the college year. The students in control of these matters have been keenly mortified by the outcome of the year financially.
"Our recent experiences have re- vealed more clear!y than ever the
faults and weaknesses of the present system of managing our athletics:
1. There is no proper co-ordina- tion of responsibility.
2. The schedules of games have been made out before the funds are secured to warrant their taking place.
3. There has been no equitable plan for securing these funds in ad- vance."
"Now, the students have already taken vigorous steps to remedy these abuses.
"1. We have established a new, a rigid and conservative constitution which has been drawn up in order to remedy the faults and weaknesses just mentioned.
"2. This new constitution pro- vides that the regular athletic fee as- sessed upon the student body be raised from $3.00 to $5.00 a semester, to be used for the support of an ath- letic instructor and the balance to be used to carry on our athletic contests*
"3. All subscriptions and expend- itures— not only for the athletics, but for oratorical and debating purposes — will be under the oversight of one responsible body, with Mr. Betten [Professor Burnap is now president of this association] and the presidents of the representative student organiza- tions as the executive committee. This committee is to have full control, so that the methods of raising and spend- ing money will be based on equitable and business-like principles.
"In the light of this statement as lto the causes of our indebtedness, and the plans which the students themselves have already put in motion to avoid such deficit in the future, I am in hopes that you will approve of the effort we propose to make to ask for some as- sistance from our friends in Lake (Continued on page 50)

The writer is mistaken in saying that the new constitution provides for a five dollar instead of three dollar fee. That point was discussed last year by the Athletic Board and the change was advocated by some but it did not go into effect. Personally, we think it should be raised, but that is a question the Board will have to meet.
He is misinformed also regarding the committee through whose hands all moneys which must be raised out- side the student community are to pass. No provision has been made for such a committee in the constitution; but in the first meeting of the Associ- ation, this year, a motion to that effect was passed. This is the important part of the letter. The need of such a committee is apparent. Provision for such a committee has been made, though not in the constitution. It is up to us to see that motion put into execution and that committee real- ized!!!

A great deal of interest in debat- ing is being shown at Northwestern this fall and according to The North- western many new students are apply- ing for membership in the various debating societies, of which there are four in the college, for men.
Illinois has accused Coach Stagg of Chicago, of enticing Watson, the Illinois football ex-captain. Stagg and Watson both firmly deny the allega- tion.
The cross country candidates at Wisconsin held a preliminary work- out in which the men ran five miles in 12:18, which is considered very fair work for this time of year.
Northwestern students are taking much interest in a series of Socialist meetings held this month in the new Evanston auditorium. Last Saturday night Mr. A. M. Simons, the editor of the International Socialist Review, and Mr. Seymour Stedman, who is well known as a lawyer, discussed Socialism from its legal and economic aspects.
There are eighty candidates train- ing for the crew at Wisconsin. The interest in crew work is not lacking despite the fact that the finances for work in the aquatic department are not fully assured. There is some prospect of a race between the East and West. An eastern crew race on Lake Mendota is at present the cheer- ful prospect of the badgers.

MICHIGAN PLANS TO GIVE COMIC OPERA.
Michigan will probably give a comic opera this winter. This will be the first time that such an attempt has been made by the Ann Arbor school.
Tentative work is already under way on a production which will be local in its setting and attempt to give a number of song hits on local college celebrities. The question of a suitable hall is the one which is giving those in charge of the scheme the most trouble. The regular university buildings are thought unsuitable, and the local thea- ters are not much better. Neverthe- less, the work is going ahead£under the charge of Charles R. Moore.
The opera will probably be pro- duced some time between Thanksgiv- ing and Christmas, It is possible that the date will be postponed until Feb- ruary and March, when college activities are usuallv dullest. — Ex.

More New Building's
Three more New Buildings within our Grasp! Shall we have them?
The Chapel exercises of last Fri- day were made memorable by the an- nouncement of a great good-fortune, which has come to Lake Forest College — an announcement which has all but turned into a reality, what has been but a dream of the distant future. By that announcement President Harlan made public an offer, the fulfilment of whose conditions, will make possible, in the immediate future, the erection of three new buildings, besides the dormitory now in process of erection. Those conditions are that the friends of the-College shall raise, by the first of March, an endowment of $50,000 for the Science Department.
About three years ago at the so- licitation of President Harlan, Mr. Calvin Durand, one of our staunchest friends, offered Si 5,000 for the erection of a new College Commons. It was found last year, that to erect a Com- mons which would have a worthy setting among the beautiful buildings called for in the new campus plan, that sum would be insufficient. Ac- cordingly, Mr. Durand has most gen- erously raised his offer to $22,000, up- on the condition above stated.
Not to be outdone, Mrs. T. B. Blackstone, widow of the former pres- ident of the Chicago and Alton Rail-
way, in addition to her gift of $36000 for the dormitory now being erected, has offered $36000 for the erection of another dormitory, the counterpart of the first building, together with which it will form a fine architectural unit, Blackstone Hall. This offer also is subject to the same condition.
If this condition is met, it not only means the erection of these two buildings, but it makes available .the use of the $30,000 which Mr. Andrew Carnegie offered last spring for the erection of a Science Hall, provided an equal amount was raised for the endowment of the Science depart- ment. Moreover, President Harlan feels quite confident that Mr. Car- negie will be glad to meet $50,000 en- dowment by an increase of his own donation to $50,000.
In a nutshell then: if by March the first, an endowment of $50,000 for the Science Department, be raised, work will be started immediately on a Commons, a Science Hall and a second Blackstone Hall, which when com- pleted, together with the first Black- stone Hall, will cost in the aggregate at least $124,000, a group of buildings than which no college in the middle west can boast a finer.
In making the announcement President Harlan said:

THE STENTOR
"Hidden in this little envelope, therefore, though you do not see them there lie three splendid buildings — the Carnegie Science Hall, as well as the Durand Commons and this second dormitory from Mrs. Blackstone: — and they will all be YOURS, my dear young people, provided the friends of Lake Forest will immediately set about to raise that $sO,ooo of endow- ment for the Science Department, These three golden apples are now hanging before your very eyes. Will the friends of the College, here in this town and in Chicago, now furnish a pole long enough to bring them to the ground. The Commons and both the Blackstone dormitories could easily be made ready by the summer time, and the Chemical Laboratory could be finished by Christmas, provided only Lake Forest show herself earnest in this matter.
"With these four buildings finished, the two splendid dormitories from Mrs. Blackstone, the beautiful Commons given by that long-time friend of the College, Calvin Durand, and the Car- negie Science Hall, — aggregating not less than $124,000 — then the new "General Campus Plan," which was at first looked upon as a rosy dream of a too optimistic President, and which in a few rare moments of discourage- ment seemed at times a little over- sanguine to himself, will be realized upon a scale and to a degree, which even he did not dream was possible within less than one short year.
"In my old age, if God should spare me that long, as I shall think of the many generations of good fellows who shall have lived in these two dormitories of Mrs. Blackstone, and enjoyed the camaradarie of the Com- mons, and of the many goodly youth, both young men and maidens, who
shall have profited by the work done in Carnegie Hall, I shall always bless God that He put it into the hearts of these three generous people, and that He gave them the means, to do this great deed for Lake Forest College, and for you, my dear boys and girls, whom it has been my joy in all these five years to try to serve as best I could."
At the conclusion of his talk the President was greeted by the congra- tulations of friends and the cheers of a grateful student body, whose hopes are bound up in the future of Lake Forest College.

The November meeting of the Chicago-Lake Forest Club was held at the Chicago Press Club Monday even- ing, November 5th. The attendance was large, and the spirit most enthusi- astic. Several men of the class of '06 made their initial appearance.
Interest in the football team re- sulted in a unanimous motion to ad- vance the December meeting to the evening of November 17th at Lake Forest instead of Chicago in order that the Alumni may see the Monmouth- Lake Forest game.
An unusually large number of the old boys will be on the campus that day.
Beside the attendance at the game the Alumni will dine at the Commons and enjoy an in-door ball game be- tween the "Odds," captained by F. A. Hayner, '95, and the "Evens," under Captain W. M. Lewis, '00.
Committees are working out de- tails, and the Alumni are promising themselves an afternoon and evening of pleasure and profit amid undergrad- uate scenes.

HALLOWE'EN AT LOIS HALL.
Last Wednesday night the spirit of Hallowe'en and fun held sway in the library of Lois Hall.
A ball was given under the au- spices of the famous Signor Marischion and his orchestra, and was very well attended. The merry revellers began gathering at 7:30 dressed in every con- ceivable costume.
Partners for the evening were sold bv their shadows to the highest bidder.
After a few dances the guests all sat on the floor while a bountiful repast was served from the well stocked bas- kets.
Again the dancing was taken up and so, with intermittent numbers by the Signor and his orchestra the even- ing passed only too quickly.
Do not let us forget to mention the unexpected pleasure the guests were treated to — by a piano solo ren- dered by John S. Bach, pianist for the orchestra.
The affair was perhaps the most successful of its kind which has been held in the Hall.
THE GARRICK CLUB PRELIMINARIES.
During the past week nearly thirty competitors for membership in the Garrick Club "tried-out" in the pre- liminary test. Of these fifteen quali- fied for the finals. The finals, as stated previously, are to consist of the public presentation of two farces. The farces chosen by Director Clapp are "Ici On Parle Francais," and "After a Storm Comes a Calm."
"Ici On Parle Francais" is a thirty- five minute farce in one act. A mer- cenary country gentleman transforms his elegant seaside residence into a Resorters' Home. In order to attract the resorters, who are generally
French, he places a notice in the win- dow that "Ici On Parle Francais," and sets himself to master French by studying an "at home" method entitled "French Before Breakfast." A young Frenchman sees the sign, and very laughable situations and dialogue en- sue.

"After a Storm Comes a Calm." — Major Pelican, a meek, hen-pecked man, is being driven frantic trying to pacify his wife and mother, both of whom insist on their right to rule the domestic domain. A friend of his, Dr. Prettywell, prolongs his suffering by urging him to let each of them keep on thinking that she is the "mater fa- milias." His sister Fanny, however, ends the suffering by insisting on his asserting his authority as master of his house. The piece is most brilliant in dialogue and has most laughable situa- tions.

ONE MORE SCALP
LaKe Forest 4. OshKosh Normal 0
The close score and the fact that this score was made by a drop kick in the last five minutes of play tell to a great extent the story of the game on Farwell Field last Saturday. Oshkosh had the heavier team and some fast men, a combination hard to beat.
In the first half neither side was able to gain consistently and the ball was near the center of the field during the entire half. Oshkosh relied on their weight and tried to gain through the line, while Lake Forest played a more open game and several times it looked as though our backs would surely get away for a touchdown but there was always some one in the way.
In the second half both teams went in with the determination to score and the spectators began to take notice.
Our men showed some of their usual snap and the ball was rushed down into Oshkosh territory. Here, however, the visitors held. They were forced to punt and the ball was again carried into their territory but they held at the critical moment. Toward the last of the half Keithley tried a place kick but the ball went wide. Shortly after this and after the five minute warning had been given he dropped the ball over the bar, making the only score of the game. Lake
Forest kicked off and a moment later we received our worst scare of the game. On a long forward pass Osh- kosh got the ball to our ten yard line and Perce started around left end with good interference but was downed by a good tackle by Baker, who took Callahan's place for the last few minutes. Our men held on the five yard line and shortly after time was called.
The game was the slowest seen here this year and the playing though hard was often ragged. At times our men showed the brilliant work which has marked their playing heretofore but they did not seem to get together and the general opinion was that the team did not do itself justice. Shroyer, Sam Stoltz, Flven Berkheiser and Mather worked consistently in the line and Paul Stoltz played a star game at quarter. He was in every play and did some sensational tackling.

On to Beloit!
Next Saturday, November the tenth, we play Beloit at Beloit, Wis- consin. And according to "dope" we have at least even chances with them. So far we have won every game but must remember that they have all been played on Farwell Field and that next Saturday we will not have the natural advantages that a home team has. One way we can help the team win its only out-of-town game is to take as many of these advantages to Beloit as we possibly can. We can- not take Farwell Field but we can take the rooters. You are one of the root- ers and it is up to you to see that your part gets there, or if it is you and she, she will probably think that the case is the same. Everyone that went to Wabash last year remembers the time they had. This trip is much easier to make and there will be just as much fun. Thaw out and go with the team. It leaves here at eight o'clock Satur- day morning and will return that even- ing. The team deserves our support and we must see that it gets it.
SOPHOMORE-FRESHMAN GAME.
Squads Oat for Practice.
The Sophomores and Freshmen have been practicing this week for the annual game. The Sophomores are under the leadership of Louis Scott, who played a star game at end for the naughty-nine team last year. Stark, full-back on the Academy team last year, was elected to the captaincy of the Freshmen. Both classes have some husky material and are working hard to get into good condition. An exciting contest should result. The date for the game is undecided, but it will probably be played on Monday either after the Beloit or Monmouth games.
WHO SHALL WEAR COLLEGE MONOGRAMS? ARE THEY TO STAND FOR SOMETHING?
During tne last few months there has been a growing disregard of what our college letters L. F. mean.
Last year we passed more strin- gent rules governing the awarding of the monograms and made laws that were meant to make the letters mean something. These rules were unani- mously indorsed in a mass meeting and have made the letters harder to earn.
There has been, however, a lack of meaning attached to them this fall. It was not thought necessary to pass laws about the wearing of other men's monogramed sweaters. That was sup- posed to be understood. To how many men were those football jerseys given? From a count taken at the commons for a week, it would seem that at least thirty had won them. It is only by popular sentiment that this practice can be stopped. Attach more import- ance and honor to the L. F. by not wearing other men's monograms.
Padded goal posts are the latest on Marshall Field. In expectation of the strong game that is to be played be- tween Minnesota and Chicago a week from Saturday the lower ends of the goal posts have been padded. Whether this has been done to pro- tect the players from injury or the goal posts from damage is left an open question. — Maroon.
According to figures compiled by the Brooklyn Citizen, baseball is a more dangerous game than football. Twelve baseball men were killed in the east this year, which is a larger number than were killed in football the year previous.

Significance of Last Friday's Chapel Announcement.
The Chapel announcement last Friday thrilled us all with a new hope, and aroused in all our hearts a new faith in the future prosperity and growth of our Alma Mater. We re- gret, however that it should have a a double significance.
The announcement of last Friday which thrilled every son, daughter, and friend of the College with hope and a new faith in the future of Lake Forest, has a double significance:
The first, is a sinister significance
and though we dread to think of it, we must present it: If we should be un- able to raise the required endowment, Lake Forest College has no future. In such an event, those citizens who desire to see the college die out — whom thank God, we have not met — would quickly see their wishes realized.
But there is another far more like- ly and hopeful significance: If the en- dowment of $50,000 (a paltry and in- significant sum among the wealth of of Lake Forest, to say nothing of the wealth of the Middle West) be raised, and we have not the timerity to doubt it; then the hope of a "too sanguine president," of the students and friends of Lake Forest College, is to be re- alized, and Lake Forest shall take her place as Queen of the Colleges of the Middle West! !
Friends and Alumni of Lake Forest College, do you realize what the acceptance of these generous offers means to us and to you? Without a Science Hall, it is fairly certain, we cannot grow; with a Science Hall, with- in a very short time, Lake Forest Col- lege would have an enrollment of at least three hundred students, with a waiting list besides. Without a Sci- ence Hall, we shall scarcely need a second new dormitory or a new Com- mons, but with it, we shall soon tax the capacity not alone of our old buildings, but of the new as well. Thus, the raising of the required en- dowment, entails the erection of a Science Hall; the Science Hall will necessitate the other new buildings; and the erection of these buildings, together with the growth which will accompnny it, means the fulfilment of our fondest dreams for our beloved Alma Mater.
Shall we have them??

Good Losers vs. Ungentlemanly Winners
Dear Editor: The "good ]osers" quality is hardly one which re- flects much material glory to L. F. at any time. The "gentlemanly winner" is something more to our liking and more in keeping with our spirit. But let us agree that the good loser is far the superior of the ungentlemanly win- ner. L. F. A. was a good loser last Saturday; their opponents were de- cidedly the #«gentlemanly winners. Hence the "Cad" need not feel humili- ated in their losing their game; but they should rather feel that self assur- ance which follows upon all gentlemanly contests.
It is not often that the College man takes it upon himself to comment upon 'Cad matters, but we cannot per- mit this offense to go by without com- ment upon the ruffian tactics of Culver.
During Saturday's game at Culver the gridiron air was thick with pro- fanity and threats. The intermissions between the downs were taken up by the cadets in threatening the referee and their opponents, and in instructing the players which men on the other team were to be laid out. According to an unbiased spectator, if the rules were carried out L. F. A. should have scored 6 touchdowns by penalties alone! Slugging was done with impu- nity— and such slugging! Schnur car- ried the ball offside — the whistle had been blown — but he was tackled and held down until two of Culver's heavy forwards had sunk their knees into the lad's ribs. The rib was ready for the surgeon when they piled off! When a mass was unmeshed several L. F. A. men would resume their places in the line bespattered with gore and their probosci spread all over their faces, whilst certain Culver players would point them out and derisively shout,
"Get down and play — we'll kill you the next down!"
The Culver faculty were elated over the outcome — glorified their team and patted L. F. A. men, saying, "You put up a game fight!" Whereas the townspeople said, "Shame! You should have won!" L. F. A. had a similar experience with another military school two years ago. Are we, there- fore, to suppose that the majority of military prep schools belong to a class entirely by themselves?
Lake Forest should be proud of its "Cad" team. In their loss of Sat- urday's game they have won a greater battle than a mere football victory. They did not return slug for slug. They played cleanly and gamely even though staggering under injuries received by the illegal methods of their opponents,, and we regret that the team should ever have been permttted to meet such a team as represented Culver. Yours,
A College Man.

Dedication of the Gymnasium.
The dedication of the gymnasium "was an event which exceeded all ex- pectations in attractiveness. The main room was beautifully decorated with pennants. Chinese lanterns and bunt- ing. The visitors' gallery was used as a speaker's platform and here short addresses were made by Dr. Harlan, Miss Hughes, Mr. Baker, Mr. Swift, and Mr. Lewis. Letters were read from Mayor Jackson and President Holt of the Alumni Association. Mu- sic was furnished by Herr Birn, Dun- can Rowles and the Academy Quar- tette. After the speeches Mr. Brad- street did some excellent paralell bar work and Mr. Bast performed some remarkable feats of strength. The White Sox then defeated the Cubs in indoor ball by the score of 7 to 2. Yale and Harvard followed in basket- ball, the Crimson winning by the score of 3 to 2. The track meet demon- strated that the 24 lap banked track is a great success. The gymnasium con- tains ample provision for indoor base- ball, basketball, handball, track work and gymnastics of all kinds. The room is brilliantly lighted with electricity. About $100 was cleared at the dedica- tion.

Lake Forest met its first defeat at the fists of Culver Military Academy last Saturday at Culver. Neither side scored up to within four minutes of the close of the game when Culver scored II points. Lake Forest played a re- markably strong game, its work being particularly plucky in the second half when Schnur played with his back muscles wrenched loose, Bedell with a severe injury to his side, Oswalt with a broken finger and the other men with injuries more or less serious. Quite a number accompanied the team which was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Herschberger and Mr. Bast.

Mass Meeting's Galore!
tridents Hold Two E-ntHvisiastic Mass-Meetings Within a Week.
THURSDAY NIGHT MASS MEETING.
The most interesting' and enthusi- astic mass meeting of years was held last Thursday evening in the Chemis- try lecture room. Professor Burnap, president of the Athletic Association, presided and acted as toast-master of the occasion. He introduced first Mr. Crozier, who, after speaking briefly of football in his own college days and expressing his strong bslief in a scrub team as a first team developer, awarded the college letters to the monogram winners of last year's baseball and track squads. The following men were awarded monograms: (baseball) Mil- ner, Keithley, F. McCrea, J. McCrea, Reinert, L. Scott, Beltzner; (track) Talcott, L. Scott, R. Scott, Beltzner and Bush.
Gibbs, Dickey, E. Berkheiser and Wilson followed with talks, after which the treasurer of the Athletic Association gave his report. In order to have the Monmouth game, he said, one hundred dollars must be raised among the students. Seventy-five cents per student would raise the required amount. Those who wanted the game were to meet again Monday night and bring their money with them.
Mr. Vaughn then urged a better support of the team, and a greater unanimity of spirit among the stud ents. Palmer then emphasized the necessity of having the Monmouth, game. The other speakers were the Misses Anne Ryon, Robertson, David- son, Hicks, Cutter .and Duncan and Mr. Clos.
MONDAY NIGHT MEETING.
Another meeting of the Athletic Association was held Monday night for the purpose of getting money to help defray the expense of the game to be played with Monmouth on Sat- urday. The meeting was called to order by President Burnap. He read; a letter from Mr. Crozier in which the- writer regretted that he could not be present at the meeting and spoke high- ly of the way our men played at Beloit and of the spirit shown by both the team and the rooters. Professor Bur- nap then told of the importance of raising the funds necessary to put the Association on its feet financially and envelopes were passed among the students for subscriptions. Mr. Betten was called on and spoke of the great interest that the Alumni take in the College. He also told of the plans

they have made for next Saturday. The next Alumni dinner, which is due November the seventeenth, is to be held at the Commons. Every Alumnus within a radius of ninety miles is expected to be here and all that possibly can are coming in time for the game in the afternoon. After the dinner a reunion will be held in the gymnasium, to which the undergradu- ates are invited. Grand march will be led by Mayor Jackson and an indoor baseball game between the Odds and the Evens promises to be one of the most exciting events of the evening. After this a nice young bonfire in some convenient spot is expected as a contribution from the class of 'ic. The reunion in the gymnasium will be exceedingly informal and all the Freshmen are urged to be present to help take some of the kinks out of the "old boys". After Mr. Betten's talk it was announced that the contents of the envelope when added to what had been promised would be sufficient for our present needs and the meeting was adjourned.
CHEMISTRY MEETING.
Two interesting papers were pre- sented at the meeting of the chemis- try classes last Friday afternoon. The first was given by Mr. Karl Schmidt on "The Qualitative Detec- tion of Nickel and Cobalt." Various methods have been devised for separat- ing these two metals, but not one has been found which is entirely satis- factory. The second paper was "Some Tests for Calcium, Barium and Strontium," and was read by Mr. Hel- ler. The new potassium ferrocyanide test for the alkaline earths was ex- plained.
The next meeting will be held on Friday, November 23, at 1 p. m.
INTER-COLLEGIATE DEBATES.
Mr. Burrill has received a com- munication from Beloit College re- garding arrangements for our annual freshman debate with that institution. The date is fixed by previous agree- ment for "no later than the third Fri- day in May." The question for debate this year is to be submitted by Beloit, "not later than the eighth day of December."
Regarding the intercollegiate de- bate with Illinois College, no definite answer has yet been received. We shall have to wait for that institution also to submit the question for debate. We are endeavoring to secure a con- test with Wabash College to follow the one with Illinois.
Meanwhile, however, there are plenty of opportunities for preliminary practice and training in the literary societies and in the class-room work.
To it, then, for the honor of Lake Forest!

ENDOWMENT FUND STARTED.
At chapel last Monday President Harlan announced that a start has been made in the raising of the #50,000 endowment. Mr. John H. Converse, of Philadelphia, head of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, who has already given generously to the Scholarship Fund, has contributed the first one thousand dollars. Another five hun- dred has come anonomously from one of Dr. Harlan's former New York parishoners. And ftom Miss Helen Culver, of Lake Forest, who also has given liberally for the past few years, comes the offer of the last five thous- and of the entire endowment. These three contributions make a total of $6.500 — a very good start.

Spells Defeat for LaKe Forest.
Under the most unfavorable con- ditions Lake Forest met her first de- feat of the season at Beloit last Satur- day. The game was played in the rain and the field was in such wretched condition that fast playing was im- possible. Spots of turf were few and far between. In places the water stood in pools and the bare ground was covered with a slimy mud that offered no secure foothold. After the first few minutes of play the men were so thoroughly covered with mud that one side could scarcely be told from the other. Punting was one of the most important features of the game and the soggy ball made even this erratic.
Lake Forest kicked off to Beloit and for several minutes punts were exchanged, neither side being able to gain consistently. After two or three downs the ball became so slippery that the passes frequently went wild. One of these went over Callahan and rolled to our five yard line where he fell on the ball and kicked it out. A Beloit man caught it and slipped and slid down the field to within a foot of our goal. Here, Charters, Beloit's heavy fullback hit the line twice with- out gaining an inch but on the third trial he got up in the air in some mysterious manner without hurdling (?)
and went over the line. The referee ruled out the question mark and the score stood Beloit 5, Lake Forest o. Johnson kicked goal, adding one more point to Beloit's score.
Keithley received the kick-off and ran it back twenty yards Kicks were exchanged and the ball was forced back to the Beloit ten yard line. On the next punt the ball slipped through Mather's arms and a Beloit man fell on it. They were forced to kick and Lake Forest started to tear up the line. Gibbs went around for eight yards, Callahan ran for twenty, and Milner and Shroyer added twelve more. There was another exchange of punts and Milner tried a short kick. The ball slipped and fell into the arms of a Beloit end who was downed on our twenty yard line. Beloit gained five yards in two downs and Johnson dropped back for a place kick. The ball went over safely.
Lake Forest kicked off and Beloit fumbled, Berkheiser securing the ball on Beloit's thirty vard line. Gibbs and Shroyer made twelve yards and Keithley stepped back for a drop-kick but the soggy ball and the mud were too good a combination to beat, and the ball went low.
In the second half neither team was able to score, although twice it looked as though Beloit's line would surely be crossed once when we had carried the ball to their eight yard

line only to lose it on a fumble and again when a drop-kick was tried.
Too much cannot be said of the way our men played. Every one of them was in the game from start to finish.
If luck ever took part in any con- test it played a star game for our op- ponents and not one of our rooters that witnessed the game lost a bit of faith in the team; instead they have more than before.
We know that to know how to take defeat is the best proof of our sportsmanship, but we think we can safely say, and without being "sore- heads", that a little study of the new rules would not hurt either official; and that the crowd — and we presume that it was for the most part College men — made the game appear more like one between two scrub teams on a town lot, than a game between two colleges, by crowding upon the field, at times, even so close as to interfere with the players, and by pressing close to the two teams and yelling so that it was practically impossible to hear the signals.
On one occasion when a Lake Eorest man made a tackle at the edge of the crowd he received several gentle(?) touches with umbrella sticks before he could regain his feet. This might have been done to see if he was ticklish, but it is not a bad policy to let the players and not the specta- tors do the tickling.

A Science Hall, the Key To LaKe Forest's Future
On another page of this issue ap- pears the full text of Mr. Calvin Durand's letter regarding the new Commons. The portion omitted last week, through lack of space, is import- ant, we believe, because it indicates that the Commons is not an immediate necessity. This is equally true of the second Blackstone Hall. The great and imperative need is a Science Hall!!! In that lies the future of Lake Forest College.
It is most fortunate that Mr. Du- rand and Mrs. Blackstone have made their gifts depend upon the raising of
the required endowment. For that. endowment must be raised before a Science Hall can be realized; and without a Science Hall the erection of a Commons and a second dormitory would be worse than useless. Without that Science Hall Lake Forest will cease to grow; hers would be a dark and uncertain future! But let that Science Hall be realized — then the Commons and the second Blackstone Hall will at once become necessities.
A statement of the real need in the Science Department will readily show that a Science Hall is the real key to the situation. To the Depart- ment of Chemistry we will confine our- selves: for the Science faculty are agreed that its need is worst, and that it must be provided for first. In the first place the laboratory is not equipped as a college laboratory should be. Many of the students come from the larger high schools which have fine- ly equipped laboratories, and they ex- perience a considerable disappointment in the equipment of our laboratory. Again the present laboratory is poorly located: it is dark and dingy as a place in which to work, and it is too damp for the good care of the finest instru- ments. But the most critical deficiency in the present laboratory is its lack of space, and the congestion which results therefrom. The Department of Chem- istry, though the most popular of the sciences among the students, has not more than half the space allotted the other sciences. Accordingly, for the past two years, an average of twelve students a semester have necessarily been turned away; and this year the number has increased to twenty — al- most ten per cent, of the entire enroll- ment. We might even suggest that the College has not been living up to the agreement in the catalog, implied

EXCHANGES.
The men of the Senior and Junior classes of Nebraska University met yesterday and protested against the new rule providing for the segrega- tion of the students. Great indigna- tion was aroused by the action of Chancellor Andrews in ordering two male students to leave a boarding house where several women students are residing. The men have threat- ened to obtain an injunction and the entire student body has agreed to sup- port them.
Syracuse University has adopted a new rule providing that hereafter no free scholarship will be given to stud- ents who use tobacco or attend the theatre or frequent drinking places or poolrooms. So after wandering in the whirl of worldly things, Syracuse has come back to the ranks of the righteous.
AN INSTANCE OF MODERN JOURNALISM
The following is interesting as being illustrative of the methods of modern journalism and of the unrelia- bility of newspaper accounts:
"In searching the woods and fields near Lake Forest for a student who disappeared Tuesday under mysterious circumstances, fifty of the men students of Lake Forest University spent all of yesterday. George Hochner, the miss- ing student, disappeared last Tuesday after having drawn $750 from a bank. Hochner, who lives west of Waukegan went to the bank to deposit a portion of the money, thus proving to the sat- isfaction of his friends that he had no dishonest motives.
All classes Friday were dismissed at ten o'clock to allow the students to take part in the search. Under the leadership of Joseph Anderson, of Waukegan, a friend of the missing student, the Lake Forest men searched thoroughly the country surrounding the neighborhood of the man's home. The searchers were divided into squads of four or five and attempted to cover the entire district lying between the university, Waukegan, the man's home west of that city, and Warrentown, where he was to have appeared to pay a mortgage.
Foul play is feared by the man's friends. His habits have been such that no suspicion of any volition on his part is in the minds of the students or the authorities." — Maroon.
In addition to the usual freshman regulations Pennsylvania has adopted another, that freshmen shall not wear any preparatory school colors or in- signia, and only such university em- blems as may be awarded by the athletic association.

President Harlan Resigns
Dr. Harlan Resigns Presidency of Lake Forest College After Five Years of FaitKful Service
The College community was taken by surprise last Sunday morning, when for the first time it became generally known that President Harlan had tendered to the board of Trustees his resignation, which had been accepted by that body a week ago last Tuesday.
No new reasons, apparently, but the same causes which operated in last year's trouble have brought Dr. Harlan to this step. And because of no specific charges, but rather because of the general lack of harmony between themselves and the President, have they accepted the resignation.
With this incident closes an admin- istration, which has in many ways been one of the most efficient in the history of the College. Dr. Harlan has put himself, heart and soul into his work, and if some have thought his ad- ministration not satisfactory, it has not been because of any lack of zeal on his part.
Among the many progressive steps that have been taken in the ad- ministration just closing, are these — the department of Athletics has been put upon a reputable basis by (1) the acquisition of Farwell Field and (2)
the establishment of a permanent Athletic Directorship; the department of Oratory has been greatly strength- ended by the addition to the faculty of a resident instructor in Oratory; the office of Dean of Women has been created; the office organization has. has been vastly improved; the scholar- ship system has been perfected and the prize system introduced; the Vesper Service has been established, and the spirit of song revived; the number of students has been almost doubled; the interest of the Alumni in the College has been increased, as is indicated by the organization of the New York Alumni Association; the interest of the townspeople has been enlisted in our behalf as never before, the constitu- ency of the College has been better worked among; one building for Ferry Hall — Smith Hall — has been realized, and four for the College have been promised — two Blackstone Halls; Durand Commons and the Carnegie Science Hall; and, best of all, the tone and spirit of the student body has been greatly elevated.
Just what part President Harlan has played in all these things we can-

not know; but we do know that some of them are due to his own initiation and to his faithful service. Some, to be sure, are intangible, but those very ones are most real.
Dr. Harlan leaves in about two weeks for Washington, where he will visit with his father until he decides upon his future course.
PRESIDENT HARLAN BIDS FAREWELL TO STUDENTS
For the last time, as president, Dr. Harlan conducted chapel exercises last Monday noon. The service opened with prayer by Dr. Vance, after which, in behalf of the hundred or more min- isters from the Chicago Presbytery, Dr. Bushnell of Minneapolis, addressed the students briefly upon the part played by choice in the formation of character.
President Harlan then bade fare- well to the students)"' whom he has served so well. But even in the hour of farewell, he sounded the cry of "For- ward." The address in full follows:
"I could not take my leave of the College without a brief word to those students for whom I have labored, and with whom I have had such a real and a very friendly fellowship.
"No President of any college could have had greater happiness than has been mine in the cordial relations that have existed between you and myself during whatever time we have been to- gether.. I could wish for my successor no greater boon, and no more constant inspiration, than to express the hope that he may enjoy the same friendly loyalty which I feel that the students have for me as I lay down the burdens of this office.
"'It is a source of supreme satisfac- tion to me to know of the wholesome condition of the college life and of the
unity and enthusiasm of the student body. I rejoice that the great in- crease of numbers, as compared to four years ago, have brought to the students themselves a new enthusiasm for Alma Mater, a new pride in her record, a new hope for her future.
"And I am glad that it so happens that my last word to you is uttered in the presence of this company of min- isters representing that great church with which Lake Forest is proud to own a special affiliation. Christo et Ecdesiae, 'For Christ and the Church,' has been, is now, and ever must be Lake Forest's motto. To me this beautiful Chapel is not only the central building of the1 campus, but it symbol- izes the highest ideals of the College-
"I rejoice in the close relations ex- isting between the College students and the local Church, and especially in the warm personal bonds that have already been formed between you and its great-hearted pastor.
"It tugs at my heart strings to say good-bye to my students; for, if the thoughts and dreams of five years leave any inner physical impression, then I believe that, if you could use the X-Ray of omniscience, you would find the map of this campus burnt deeply and forever upon my own heart.
"And yet I want the idea of 'For- wards' to loom up much larger than the thought of 'Farewell.' Presidents may come and go; but when a college has successfully passed through the dangers and difficulties which the last two ad- ministrations have forever put behind Lake Forest, that College, please God, is immortal.
"Thanks to those colleagues in the Faculty who have so loyally helped me, thanks to the enthusiastic co-operation of the undergraduates and the Alumni, we have, — all of us working together
THE STENTOR
79
during these five years, — brought Lake Forest to the point when it is here not only to stay, but to grow.
"I wish it had been possible to work out some plan by which I could have remained with you through this Semi-Centennial year, in order to do Avhat I could to inaugurate the move- ment for a very large addition to the permanent Endowment Fund. So far as the three additional buildings are concerned — namely, the second Black- stone Hall, the Durand Commons, and the Carnegie Science Hall, which the generosity of three large-hearted people made it possible for me, before I left Lake Forest, to secure for you conditionally — I will take the liberty of assuring you that they will undoubt- edly be erected, and without any serious delay. The $50,000 of new en- dowment required in order to win these three buildings is, comparatively speaking, a small affair, and I have reason to feel confident that the friends of this institution will not let these three splendid gifts fall to the ground, and that you students will not be dis- appointed.
'"These three new buildings, to- gether with the first Blackstone Hall, will commit the College to a still larger future, which it will be yours to assure and yours to enjoy.
"To the good, old English word of farewell, 'good-bye', which means 'God be with you,' may I add the Spaniard's way of saying the same thing, 'Go with God.' 'Go with God,' and God will go with you, and be with you through all the days even unto the end"
FAREWELL SERMON OF DR. HARLAN.
The Y. W. C. A. weekly prayer meeting was led by Lois Nesbit. The delegates to the state convention gave a very interesting report.
Dr. Harlan Delivers Farewell Address at Vespers to Large Audience.
To one of the largest audiences that has ever attended the College Vesper Service Dr. Harlan preached his last sermon, in his capacity as President of the College. Although not a suggestion was made of his resignation yet the thought of it, always uppermost in the hearts of his hearers, sobered and saddened them. It was peculiarly fitting that he should leave with us the same message that he enjoined upon the first Senior Class to leave under his administra- tion. He gave us the portrait of the Perfect Gentleman.
Paul, one of the finest gentle- men that has walked upon earth, was so because of the touch of Christ, the first of gentlemen, upon his soul * * * Paul, the master theologian, finally resolved all his argument into exhorta- tion to practice goodness — the Christ- ian gentleman is more concerned withi deeds than with creeds * * * Christ- ian character is never a veneer, it is- basic; though made up of essentially- minor qualities, it must be apparent to all * * * "As a man thinks so is he." The Christian gentleman must be pure in thought * * * He should be a mas- ter of reflection, not he who reads most but he who thinks most and of the noblest things, is the strongest Christian * * * "Had Christ come only to reveal to us beauty, purity and strength and not to show us how to attain unto them, we might almost wish He had not come"" But He has has shown us how: "Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things arc honorable," whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are lovely, whatso- ever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

ALUMNI BANQUET.
Nearly Forty Alumni Attend Banquet at
College Commons. Are Pleased with
Present Tone and Outlook for
Future of College.
On last Saturday evening at the College Commons occured one of the pleasantest meetings the Alumni have held in laie years.. A large number of "old men" from Chicago were present and they delighted the undergraduates, who attended in a body, with their tales of by-gone days and with their expres- sions of hope for and faith in the fu- ture of Lake Forest College.
Mr. Betten acted as toast-master for the evening. The first speaker in- troduced was Mayor Jackson, who after mentioning his pride in the foot- ball team and his belief in Lake For- est's future, expressed ' his regret at the departure in the near .future of Coach Vaughn. The President of the Alumni Association, Mr. J. H. Lee then compared briefly the Commons of his day with the present Commons, to the detriment of the former. Mr. Hayner offered to the Trophy Room an enlarged picture of the football team. "It is a good thing" according to Allen C. Bell "for the Alumni and undergraduates to get in touch with each other in this way." He also praised the work of the double quar- tette which from time to time during the evening tried to make itself heard. Professor Burnap, as President of the Athletic Association, was next in or- der. "Some years ago," he said, "a protest was made by certain students against the encroachments on the Lit- erary Society work made by numerous social functions. We must get that spirit, the spirit of keener devotion to higher things for which Lake Forest stands".
Dr. B. M. Linnell, one of our Al- umni Trustees, was much surprised, a5 he said, and not a little pleased at the difference in the life and spirit of the students, from that of his own time. One thing he mentioned was of es- pecial interest to everyone present — the fact that he had played on the first Rugby team organized in Lake Forest which team was, by the way, the first Rugby team in the West. The first time they played Wisconsin they had them at their mercy through their use of the criss-cross play.
Mr. Crozier disclosed an interest- ing bit of Professor Burnap's history in his capacity as detective during the apple season. He uttered a sentiment rarely heard among the ''old men": "We did not have the good time that you are having". In conclusion he spoke of his deep personal regret that Mr. Vaughn is no longer to act as our Director of Athletics.
After a brief word by Mr. Palmer on behalf of the undergraduates, the entire company made for the gymna- sium where they spent the remainder of the evening.
No adequate idea can be given of the real spirit of the occasion. The dinner was of Mrs. Harper's finest; spirits were high and wits keen and through it all was a great hope for the future of Lake Forest College.

FOOTBALL SQUAD, SEASON '06
SMITH'S TOE DECIDES LAST GAME
Heavy Monmouth Team Played to a Stand- still Wins on DropKicKs
To be outweighed by a fast team by almost fifteen pounds to the man and to play that team on a slippery field only to have three drop-kicks put over the goal and to lose the College Championship of Illinois by those three kicks, would be called "tough luck" by some people. That is exact- ly what happened to Lake Forest in her game with Monmouth College last Saturday.
Friday night's rain soaked Farwell field, and the slippery ground added to the advantages of our heavy opponents. Notwithstanding this, the honors as
far as straight football is concerned',, were about equal, neither team being able to make a touchdown. Mon- mouth used her weight to good ad- vantage in mass plays, but the greater part of the play was in the open, the on-side kick and forward pass netting some good gains for Lake Forest. Twice we had the ball on Monmouth's ten yard line and an equal number of times we held them for downs near our own goal.
Our men all played a hard, fast and clean game as they have done all season and a nothing to nothing score would show better the comparative strength of the two teams.
All of the scoring was done by Smith, quarter back for Monmouth.

LOYALTY OF THE STUDENTS TO THE TEAM SHOWN.
Shortly before the date of the game scheduled with Monmouth Col- lege it was found that in order to meet the expense of this game it would be necessary to get one hundred and eighty-five dollars.
Some doubt was expressed as to the ability of the Athletic Association to raise this amount in so short a time.
It was decided to leave the matter in the hands of the students. If they wanted the game as badly as they seemed to and were willing to back up their talk with a hundred dollars, Palmer, as managei of the team, and Shroyer, as treasurer of the Associa- tion, promised to raise the remaining eighty five among the Faculty and various friends of the College.
A mass meeting of the students was called, the case was put before them and though quite a number were not present the necessary amount was easily raised. Shroyer and Palmer kept their part of the agreement and the game was assured.
This action on the part of the students showed several things: — that the students are behind our teams, that they want the teams to have good schedules and that they are willing to help in every way that they possibly
can. This is the kind of spirit that makes winning teams. It is not mere "hot air" and we are proud of it.
We also wish to thank those friends of the College who helped us out of Our difficulty.
The Season of '06
Saturday's game ended a football season that, under the conditions, has been a very successful one for Lake Forest. At first our prospects looked decidedly blue. Heavy material for the team was lacking and it was hard to get enough men out for a good second team. However, the men that were out had speed, nerve and the proper spirit, and this spirit has stayed with them throughout the season. They were outweighed in every one of the five games played the last two were played on slippery, muddy fields. The disadvantage that a light team has on such a field is well known, and yet not once did they lie down or get discouraged. Three of these games were victories, the other two were de- feats, but they were the kind of de- feats of which we will never be ashamed.
Great credit is due Mr. Vaughan for the work he has done in coaching the team. From a squad of men averaging scarcely one hundred and fifty-five pounds in weight, he developed a team which was one of the best College teams in this part of the country, and now that he must leave us we hope that he will be even more successful in his new field of work.

THE STENTOR
Four Seniors, namely Milner, Shroyer, Keithley and Munger have played their last game of football for Lake Forest.
Milner has been with the team for four years. His freshman year he was substitute end, the next two he played quarter back and this year was - shifted to right half. Joe is one of the fastest men we have ever had on the team. On defense he played back and has made a record at catching punts. In all four years he only fumbled one.
Shroyer was also a sub in his freshman year. Since then he has had little time for the game until this year. He has put up a strong game at tackle all season and has been one of the most consistent players on the team. He not only starred on the defensive but also carried the ball well.
Keithley entered Lake Forest in his Junior year. He played at end part of last year and has held down the position of left half back this year. One of the "Swede's" drop-kicks won the Oshkosh game for us.
Munger did not try for the team until his Junior year when he made sub half back. This year he was un- able to get out to practise until the last two weeks and only got in one game. He has always done good work when he had a chance to play. Freshman-Sophomore Game.
At last the Freshmen have gained sufficient courage to challenge the Sophomores to the traditional game of football which will ^take place some day this week. Official notifica- tion will be given on the bulletin boards. Considering the strenuous practicing of both teams the game will be of double interest, both from a football and from a humorous view- point.
Football Monograms Awarded.
At a meeting of the Athletic Board of Control the following men were awarded monograms for the foot- ball season just ended:
Gibbs, '08; Milner, '07; Keithley, '07; Shroyer, '07; Callahan, '08; Elven Berkheiser, '09; Sam Stoltz, '09; Mather, '10; Newport, 10; Paul Stoltz, '10, and Richardson, 'io.
STUDENTS BURN DUMMY IN HONOR OF FOOTBALL TEAM
Last Friday evening immediately at the close of foot-ball practice, the students continued the custom, begun last year, of burning the foot-ball dummy. When all was ready, the dummy, having been stuffed with leaves and soaked with coal-oil by members of the class of '10, Captain Gibbs applied the match; and as it burned, speeches were made and songs sung, until the last ember had died out.. On the morrow the Senior members of the team were to play their last game under Lake Forest's standard,, and Mr. Vaughn's connection with the students as their coach, was to be_- severed.
PROFESSOR McNEIL CHOSEN TEMPORARY EXECUTIVE
At a meeting of the faculty last Tuesday afternoon, Professor McNeil was chosen to act as executive in faculty matters until a Dean shall be appointed. It is thought that the Trustees will select a Dean in about two weeks.
President Elliot, of Harvard, the- foremost opponent of football, under the old rules, says the game is now a decided improvement and less brutal, but he hopes to see it improve still more.

Dr. Harlan's Resignation.
It was with the sense of a personal loss that we received the news of President Harlan's resignation. We feel that no man, president or profes- sor, has had, or could have, a deeper interest in the students and in their various enterprises. He has known his students almost from the day they entered; he has recognized them wherever he might meet them, and has always taken pleasure in talking with them. Little wonder then that we feel a loss.
We keenly appreciate, too, his efforts — and they have been rewarded
with success — to pull Lake Forest Col- lege up above the danger mark, and to bring her to her risjhtful place among the colleges of the west. A few years ago, it was commonly suggested that the College might better be permitted to die out, that all efforts might be con- centrated upon the development of the secondary schools. Such a suggestion, — and largely through Dr. Harlan's efforts, we feel — would not for a mom- ent be entertained now. ''The college is here to stay and to grow."
We expect a little slacking in our progress, for a time, perhaps until a new man can get hold of things, but that period will be followed by another of great activity. Though we do not understand all the ways of our Board of Trustees, we believe that they have our highest interests at heart; we are confident that they will make the erection of the new buildings promised a possibility, and we are sure that they will take all care in selecting a presi- dent to succeed Dr. Harlan.
We cannot help making a few observations, however, drawn from the events of the past two years. We be- lieve that loyalty to the institution demands loyalty to, and cooperation with, him who happens to be at our head. Any president, be he never so excellent, is bound, hand and foot, by lack of harmony among those with whom he has to deal. From the pres- ent trend of events too, we fear that those who have the matter in hand, may overestimate the value of a busi- ness capacity in a president. Neces- sary as that is, we still believe that a man who is purely and simply a busi- ness man, has no place as the presi- dent of a college.
Notwithstanding our sense of loss, our appreciation of Dr. Harlan's work and our regret that circumstances are

-as they are, our hope for the future of our College is all undimmed. For, as President Harlan himself has said: "Presidents' may come and go — the College is immortal!"
Coach Vaughn Leaves.
The close of the football season ]ast Saturday brought to an end the very pleasant relations between us as students, and our coach, Mr. Vaughn Not only has he done wonderful things with the raw material in our athletic teams, but he has formed many friend- ships among the students and the townspeople. Wherever he may go, we wish him God-speed, and as good success as he has enjoyed here.
THE ALUMNI GATHERING
Nearly fifty alumni dropped their business pursuits to come and see the football game with Monmouth. In the evening they assembled at the gymnasium and joined with all who claim L. F. C. as their alma mother, in a night of jollity.
The Evens and the Odds engaged in a hot game of indoor-baseball, wherein the old boys displayed some startling agility, much to the enjoy- ment of the under grads. The Evens won 13 to 12, thanks to the remark- ably even twirling of Wm. "Mather Eewis for the Evens, and the odd maneuvers of the 'Odds team. The batteries for the Odds were Dave Jackson and Corny Betten; Bill Lewis and D. Watson for the Evens.
A basket-ball game between the Scrubs and the Freshmen followed, re- sulting in the Freshmen winning the game and the Scrubs the glory.
Among the fifty Alumni present were Wm. Mather Lewis, Dr. Linnell, David and John Jackson, A. C. Dunn Robert Hood, A. E. Burghart and Sol. BJoom.
WAUKEGAN STUDENTS ANGERED BY LAKE FOREST MEN.
"Confound those Lake Forest fellows anyway. They have cut me out of all ex- cept three dances tonight."
That is one of the many similar re- marks one hears in the smoking room at Perrins Hall these days, as dance after dance, the Waukegan youths sorrowfully watch the Lake Forest fellows waltz around the floor, while they — the Waukeganites — console themselves with cigarettes.
It seems that this year, more than ever before, the students, most of them Freshies, from Lake Forest college come up to the dances on Friday and Saturday nights at Perrins Hall in large numbers. Owing to their being older than the Wauke- gan boys, and as they are more free to do what they please and have more money to spend, they have made a very great "hit" with the Waukegan girls, who whenever a Lake Forest man is around, won't even look at a Waukeganite. The Lake Forest "bunch" always come up without partners and as a result Waukegan fellows have to sit out all but the first and last dances.
This is a curious condition of affairs and is very funny to all except the partner- less Waukegan youths-, who are threatening dire vengeance on Lake Forest and every- thing connected with it. Let us hope that Waukegan will come off victorious in all ' the duels that have been arranged to take place between the offended Waukegan boys and the offending Lake Forest men. — Waukegan Sun.

The Academy Game With Morgan ParK.
Saturday, November 17th, the whole Academy went in a body to see the game between its team and Mor- gan Park. On dope we were bound to be beaten but we knew our team and felt confident that on a fair field and with no favor shown, they would put up a good showing. Everybody was in good shape except little Jack Frost, our quarter, whose arm still felt the effect of the Culver game.
We were all so excited that the train seemed to crawl along and after reaching Morgan Park we lost no time in getting to the field. Mr. Rent- dorf and Mr. Crawford made record time in going up that hill. And then we found what we had feared, that the field was nothing but sticky mud.
But no mud could keep in check the vim with which our boys went into the game. Morgan Park was swept clear off its feet with surprise, and within the first three minutes of play, Bedell went across the line for a touch- down. L. F. A. went fairly crazy with joy, and clamored for more. Morgan Park made a desperate stand and on a fumble secured the ball and made a touchdown, but failed to kick goal. The score was 5 to 6 in our favor. The work of Oswalt, Bedell, Schnur and Savage was especially remarkable in this period.
In the second half we started off with a rush, but Morgan Park seemed to have recovered from their stage fright and their plays were executed with greater precision. Still we fought valiantly. We advanced the ball to
their two yard line only to lose it on what seemed a fearfully close decision. The enthusiasm of the crowd too was against us, and it swarmed across the lines, and deceived our men as to where they were. With about two minutes of play left and when we were within striking distance of their goal a Morgan Park player secured the ball on an error in passing and started on the run down the field. But after him came the once yellow haired Peters like a flash. And within ten yards of their goal Peters caught him magnificently. We made a desperate stand, but Morgan Park was too strong and made the touchdown and kicked goal, making the score 1 1 to 6. The game ended soon after and all that was left for us to do was to cheer our team. Though defeated, they were not beaten or disgraced.
They put up a fine, plucky fight against what seemed overwhelming odds; they went boldly into the en- emy's country and swept them off their feet; they played heady, resource- ful football, standing shoulder to shoulder, fighting, not each man for himself, but every man for the school.
The Academy feels that its team of 1906, though not successful as a winning team, has been eminently victorious in pluck, in grit, in game- ness, in unity of purpose, that it is a team of which to be proud.
The students at the University of California showed their spirit last week by getting out with picks and shovels and working on their new foot- ball field. — Ex.

On the two evenings, two of the fraternities in succession offered the hospitality of their rooms . to all who might care to hear. The ''Profes- sor" in both cases began his seance with a short lecture upon the scientific principles which govern the art of the phrenologist, after which he devoted his time to reading heads. In some cases his reading of character was re- markably accurate but in some others he was somewhat at sea. He examined the two evenings some thirty or forty subjects.
CHICAGO PRESBYTERY HOLDS RETREAT IN LAKE FOREST
Through the invitation of Dr. Boyle in behalf of the Lake Forest Presbyterian Church, and according to its wonted custom, when convening in Chicago, the Chicago Presbytery, in a body, came to Lake Forest for a "retreat", last Monday. The session was nearly an all day one, but just be- fore the noon hour, the entire com- pany of ministers and elders number- ing over one hundred, visited the chapels of the three departments of the University. The evening meeting was open to the public; Dr. Bushnelh who had been the moving spirit of the day, spoke the closing words.
TOWN NOTES
Miss Rumsey entertained at lunch- eon on Tuesday of last week for Dr. Merrill, who gave the paper at the Coterie on that day.

GarricR Club Tryout
Thirteen Students in Competition for Member- ship in the GarricR Club. Present Two Excellent Farces.
The new method of trying the ability of the various candidates for Garrick Club Memberships was put to a test a week ago last Friday night; and it proved so successful that it is sure to become the permanent method.
Two farces, "After the storm comes a calm" by J. Madison Morton, and "Ici on Parle Francais," by T. J. Williams, both lively and full of humorous situations, were presented by the thirteen students who had been chosen from the number of those who desired memberships in the Club.
The cast of the first farce is as follows:
Major Jeremiah Pelican - - Mr. Hubbard Dr. Vicisimus Prettywell - - Mr. Woldorf Joseph - Mr. Bush
Mrs. Pelican ... Miss Williams Mrs. Major Pelican - - Miss Hendy Fanny .... Miss Miller
The scene is in London. Time, present.
Excellent as was the work of each member of the cast, that of Mr. Wal- dorf and Miss Williams was probably best. The presentation was, on the whole, excellent, being marred only by the failure of the curtain to drop at the critical moment.
The second farce, while probably little superior to the first, in presenta-
tion, was much the funnier and more interesting of the two. The star and "staress" of this farce, if it be possible to choose, were probably Mr. and Mrs. Spriggins. Mr. Robineau's part, though less spectacular, was in some ways the most finished production of the evening. Anna Maria was an ex- cellent maid of all work. The part of Major Rettan could not have been filled to better advantage. And the other two parts, though least spec- tacular of all, were very consistently carried out. The followingis'the cast: Mr. Spriggins (a gentleman who
has lodgings to let) - - Mr. Schwartz
Major Regulus Rettan - - Mr. Boys
Victor Ruboin ... Mr. Robineau
Mrs. Spriggins - - Miss Bockhoff
Julia, Mrs. Rettan - - Miss Goldsmith
Angelina Spriggins - - Miss Wild
Anna Maria (maid of all work) Miss Reynolds
The scene is in Dipwell, an English
sea coast watering place.
* Time, present.
A great deal of credit is due not only to those who worked so hard to gain admission to the Club, but also to Professor John M. Clapp, under whose wise direction these farces were so successfully produced. The success- ful candidates will be announced short- ly before Christmas vacation.

PROFESSOR HALSEY MADE ACTING PRESIDENT.
It was announced last Tuesday at chapel that Professor Halsey has been appointed by the Board of Trustees, Acting President, until the inaugura- tion of the new President. It will be remembered that Professor Halsey has once before acted in this capacity — between the administrations of Presidents Coulter and McClure — so that he is perfectly conversant with the duties and the burdens of the office. We have all confidence that Dr. Halsey as Acting President will take up the work just where it was left off by Dr. Harlan, as far as it is possible, and will turn every energy to the advancement of Lake Forest College.
In his talk at Chapel Dr. Halsey spoke of it as a most hopeful sign that the Board of Trustees should send a delegation to confer with the faculty to obtain its ideas as to the kind of president we should have as they did last Monday afternoon. He also ex- pressed a hope that a president may be secured, young enough to serve for twenty-five years; and he asserted confidently that a new president will be selected and will be upon the grounds by Commencement.
THANKSGIVING DINNER AT THE COMMONS
Nearly thirty men, mindful of Mrs. Harper's remarkable dinner last Thanksgiving, remained to try again this year, and were more than repaid for their faith in her culinary powers.
To enumerate the various dishes with which she tickled their palates would make this sheet look like a White House cook book. But suffice it to say that the door space was fully filled by each one as he left the Com-
mons. L. Jones says he weighed 162 before and 166 after. The others didn't dare tell their weights for modesty's sake.
Not a thing edible remained on the tables — what they could not carry off within themselves, they took off and even at this late date we see the thirty occassionally munching on some of the Thanksgiving dessert. The dinner was to have ended with a song, but they were too full for utterance, even to grunt was painful.
GLEE CLUB
The Men's Glee Club is to start work immediately in preparation for the annual spring trip. A considerable number of old men are here — enough to form a good nucleus around which will be built the new club The sorest loss which the club has sustained is the loss of Mr. Stevens, who so suc- cessfully conducted the Club for the past two years.
It is still hoped that Mr. Phillips will return to Lake Forest for the second semester, and that he will take the leadership. However, in the meantime, the Club will not be idle. Upon the resignation of Wilson, who was elected temporary leader just be- fore Thanksgiving, Mr. Talcott has taken up the work. The men have great confidence in Talcott's ability, and there is every reason to believe that he will produee an excellent Glee Club.

PRESIDENT JORDAN, OF LELAND STAN- FORD, LECTURES ON "THE HUMAN HARVEST."
Last Tuesday at four o'clock in the Reid Memorial Chapel, President David Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford University, addressed students and townspeople on "The Human Harvest.'
Dr. Jordan spoke first of his pleas- ure at revisiting Lake Forest, he hav- ing been here some nineteen or twenty years ago. * * * Of the reign of the emperor it has been said "The human harvest was bad," meaning that good soldiers were becoming scarce.
* * * A certain wise man endeavor- ing to produce a horse which should combine the fine qualities of all horses, invoked the genii: Variation, Heredity, Selection and Segregation. He succeeded, discovering that in any generation, the horses that survive determine the future breed. ^Another man, with the same purpose, tried to develop his horses by spurring them on. But he wore out the best horses, leaving the weaker ones to determine the future breed. * * It was. in this latter way — because of the loss of the strong men — that Rome fell. "Only cowards were left," to determine the future Romans. * * For this reason too, Greece fell into decadence. * *
* * The weakness of France, today, is the result of Napoleon's wholesale sacrifice of the noblest French blood. * * Switzerland, Spain and England have suffered by shedding their noblest blood upon the battle- field. * * And our own Civil War destroyed seven hundred thousand of our strongest men; we suffer for it today. * * * The salvation of the world, in this respect, rests upon "Peace on earth; good will toward men."

SOPHOMORES 4; FRESHMEN 0.
Underclassmen Msk on a Muddy Field.
The Sophomores upheld one of the traditions of the college by defeat- ing the Freshmen in the annual under- classmen's football game last week. The game was somewhat marred by the muddy field and the mean disposi- tions displayed by some of the naught- nine men but was nevertheless excit- ing enough to extract quite a few routing cheers from the bleachers. There were several men on each team that should be out for the first team next year.
In the first halt the ball was in the Sophomores' territory most of the time but the Freshmen were unable to reach the goal line and the half ended with no score. During the intermis- sion the freshies held a class meeting and appointed Lewis as a committee of one to investigate the charges brought against the timekeepers. He tried faithfully to unearth the truth but the handle of his muck rake was too short and he was forced to give up.
Inspired by the words of Coach Stoltz the Sophomores started in the second half to do things and Mather's machine was forced back to the five yard line. Here it held and the ball changed hands. Stark tried to punt from behind the line but the kick was
blocked and the ^Sophomores scored on a safety. Another safety later in the half ended the scoring and the Freshmen walked sadly homeward thanking Gibbs and the mud for their able assistance in keeping the score down.
On being interviewed after the game the various "notables" gave out the following statements.
Captain Scott, '09. — "On a dry field we would have beaten them by twenty points."
Coach Stoltz. — "Fine game. I raise Scott twenty."
Captain Stark, '10. — "Glad they didn't score any more."
Coach Mather. — "Same here."
Mr. VVynn. — "That Scott man cert'nly can run and that Stark am some player."

Callahan Elected Football Captain.
The football men who received monograms for this season's work met at the gymnasium and unanimously elected Leon Callahan, '08, captain for nineteen seven. Callahan entered Lake Forest as a Sophomore, coming from Nebraska University. He played end that fall and was shifted to full back this year, *where he has played a good, consistent game throughout the season.
BasKet Ball Prospects— Louis Scott Elected Captain
Because of ill health Joe McCrea was forced to resign as captain of the basket ball team and will not be able to get into the game this year. Louis Scott '09, has been elected to fill the vacancy. Scott played a good game at guard last year and knows the game thoroughly.
Prospects are better now for a winning team than ever before. Of the eight men that played with the first team last year, six are back and intend to try for the team.
Among the Freshmen who have played and are coming out are: Potter and Keck, forwards, and Westerwelt, center, of the Fairbury High School Team; Heller, center, and Morrison from Pontiac; Mather, center, and Paul Stoltz,- guard from Ottumwa; Bush, center from Joliet, and Lowe, center on the Everts High School team, which won the state , championship for 1906.
With six old men as a nucleus and so many prep, school stars, any man that earns a place on the team will have to work for it, and a successful season is practically assured.

The Chapel Service.
From time to time ever since the institution of the daily chapel service, there have been demands by the stu- dents for something to relieve the monotony of the service. There have been some efforts made at times to meet the demand; but these brief re- spites have been followed invariably by an almost intolerable — to some — monotony.
The students perhaps with one or two exceptions, do not object to the religious part of the service, indeed they consider that the important part, but they are agreed one and all that it should be made more interesting. As
has been agreed heretofore, our prox- imity to the metropolis of the west gives us the opportunity of securing as speakers some of the foremost men of the country — indeed we scarcely need to go outside our own little city for such men. The difficulty then lies not in our lack of opportunity.
We have been very glad to learn that Dr. Halsey has appreciated this need of something with 'which to en- liven the chapel exercise. And we have been assured that as Acting Pres- ident he will endeavor to bring to us occasionally men who really have something worth while to tell us. Such efforts will be highly appreciated by every student and they cannot but re- sult in a better chapel attendance, upon which more than any other one thing depends the esprit de corps of our col- lege communitv-
DOWIE'S DOWNFALL COMPLETE.
Clothed in his gorgeous apostolic robes, surrounded by his faithful lieu- tenants and followers, John Alexander Dowie, once the autocratic ruler of a hundred thousand people, last Sunday afternoon gave a public demonstration of complete mental breakdown. Against the wishes of his advisors, showing evidence of his former indom- itable will, he insisted upon conducting the usual Sunday afternoon service in his palatial home where in the drawing room, reception hall and massive din- ing room several hundred people had gathered to hear the prophetic message from the lips of the "First Apostle".
That he was hopelessly insane was apparent from the first sentence he uttered. As his negro attend- ants carried him down stairs he gave his usual salute and then launched into a glowing tribute to a dead general whom he imagined he had been called

upon to eulogize. His disordered brain even led him to declare that the remains were there before him and to call upou all the people to attend the funeral at the Zion City cemetery.
His attendants becoming alarmed made several unsuccessful attempts to stop their leader before it was too late. He roused himself and commanded them to be seated declaring that the First Apostle would brook no inter- ruption or interference, declaring that some powerful official was present at the funeral and that his warship was anchored off Zion City.
It was a sad sight, that of this once powerful man, whose body is now wasted by disease to a mere shadow, and whose great brain is today a com- plete wreck. There were his poor ig- norant followers, collected together to obey his commands and follow his lead- ership— -sheep without a shepherd.

Any man who keeps a girl of the university out after mid- night will be treated as a miscreant by the authorities. The rules- also say that "No young woman of the univer- sity shall visit any dance hall of any sort in the city, unless to attend some function recognized as a university affair and sanctioned by the authori- ties."— Cardinal.

We feel that there should be some expression of our appreciation of the inspiration Mrs. Kunz-Baker has brought us. All who have heard her readings need not be told what a treat they have been and how many good things they have left us to think over. It has been a pleasure to meet socially. A number of the tables had the honor of entertaining her at din- ner. Besides the usual lectures, on the evening of Tuesday, the twentieth, she read some German lyrics in the parlor.

Handel's Great Oratorio to be Given in Part
by $ttxdent$ of College and Ferry Hall Tomorrow Nignt at Presbyterian CntarcK
To-morrow evening at the Pres- byterian church the students of the College and Ferry Hall,- assisted by a solo quartette and under the direction of Miss Fleming of Fairy Hall, will present in large part Handel's Messiah. The chorus numbers about seventy- five voices and despite the short period of rehearsals it promises to do excel- lent work. The soloists are to be Miss Graham (soprano), Miss Pettigrew (alto) and Mr. Bemus (bass) of the church quartette, and Mr. Brewster (tenor) of Chicago.
The project was originated by Dr. Boyle but he has been greatly assisted in carrying it out by Dr. Harlan, Mrs. Thomas and Miss Fleming. It has met a real need of our college community — the need of participation by the stu- dents in the production of something of lasting worth in music.
The following is the program as it will be rendered: —

ALFRED MILES BERGEN RECITAL
One of the finest musical treats that Lake Forest has enjoyed for years was the song recital given last Friday night in the Art Institute by Mr. Alfred Hiles Bergen, Baritone, who was but a few years ago a student at the Academy.
Mr. Bergen has a voice of wide range, beautiful in its smoothness, its flexibility, its sympathy and its power, suited alike to the light and delicate "Die Rose, die Liebe, die Sonne," of Schuman, and to the "big" ''Pilgrim's Song" of Tschaikowsky or the martial '''Two Grenadiers" of Schuman.
Although still very youug, Mr. Bergen possesses great dramatic power as well as a rare voice. It has been said that he is the successor of David Bishpam. Indeed, he promises to sur- pass him. The recital last Friday evening was, if anything, more excel- lent than that which Mr. Bishpam gave here two years ago.
It is greatly to be regretted that more of the college students did not hear Mr. Bergen. The entire audience amounted to less than one hundred, and a very small percentage of it was students. But doubtless the smallness of the audience was due chiefly to lack of advertising rather than to any lack of appreciation among us for such things.
A big university is being planned for Louisville, Kentucky. ' Workers for a $1,000,000 fund have been aroused by the announcement that a prominent eastern man had agreed to give $500,000 provided the remainder can be raised. The Commercial Club of Louisville has already secured a $100,000 contribution outside the city, so that prospects for the greatest uni- versity in the south are bright.
TOWN NOTES.
The Coteri-e met on Tuesday with Mrs. Albert Cobb. The paper of the afternoon, on Shakespeare's "Henry Fourth" was given by Mrs. Calvin Durand.
Dr. David Starr Jordan was en- tertained by Professor and Mrs. Hal- sey while in town last week.
Among the entertainments given for Miss Ruth Durand were teas by Miss Sarah Watson and Miss Martha Hub- bard during the past week and a lunch- eon and box party by Mrs. Byron L: Smith last Friday.
Mr. and Mrs. I. P. Rumsey have sent out invitations for a reception at their home on Saturday to meet Mr. and Mrs. Philip James.
Mrs. E. S. Wells entertained at afternoon tea last Saturday for her daughter, Mrs. Kerr.
Mr. John J. Jackson gave a dinner on Monday evening for Mr. William Mather Lewis.
The boys' dormitory of the Lake Bluff Orphanage burned down early Sunday morning, leaving about fifty boys nearly destitute.
Mrs. Bridgman held a reception Wednesday afternoon for Mrs. Harlan.
UNIVERSITY CLUB.
The University Club will meet to- night at the home of Professor Lewis Stuart Professor James H. Tufts, head of the department of philosophy at Chicago University, will give an in- formal talk on the school situation in Chicago, of which he has made a close study. Mrs. Clapp is to furnish the music.

Baseball After the Holidays.
Captain Milner announces that light indoor work for pitchers, catchers and first basemen will start immediate- ly after Christmas. There seems to be an abundance of catchers this year and there are several prospective first basemen but pitchers are scarce.
Bethard will be back next semes- ter but one man can't do it all. If you ever threw acurve come out and loosen up your arm after vacation, there is a good chance to make good.
Blue Goose Athletic Association.
The members of the Blue Goose baseball team met last week and decided to organize a permanent ath- letic association for the purpose of supplying and supporting scrub teams in every line of college athletics. It is their intention to obtain good schedules for these teams and to make the life of a "scrub" more worth living.
The Blue Goose ball team was un- defeated last spring and graduated several players to the regulars before the end of the season. Let's hope they will be as successful this year.
BasKetball Squad WorKing Hard— Fresh- men Show Up Well.
The basketball squad has been working hard for the past two weeks and Mr. Bradstreet expects to have the men in fairly good condition by Christmas.
They are somewhat handicap e by not havingihe use of the gymnas- ium on two days out of the six but this is partly overcome by having practice games with the Academy team on those days.
There are about twenty men out for the team and competition is so hot for every position that no one has a place assured as yet.
One of the most encouraging things is the showing the Freshman are making.
More than half the squad consists of 1910 men and it looks as though they will have their share on the regulars.
The schedule is not completed but will be nearly the same as last year's.
The Lois Hall team had a game scheduled with Highland Park for last Saturday, but when the time came for the game their opponents had not ar- rived and the regulars had to content themselves by beating the second team.
Indoor Baseball Game for Benefit of the BasKetball Team.
The third annual indoor ball game between the Bachelors and Married Men is due to take place soon. A small admission will be charged and the proceeds will go to the basketball team.

not only in an athletic way but also from a social standpoint. The players are all old stars and are onto the fine points of the game and the costumes worn will make the Junior Prom, look sick. Callahan has undertaken to manage the deal and is now trying to find a non-corruptible umpire. As soon as he succeeds the date of the game will be fixed.
The grand march will start prompt- ly at seven-thirty.
P. S. — A telegram has just been received from the captain of the mar- ried men's team stating that, because of unforseen circumstances, it was necessary to change the name of his team to "The Widowers." He assures us, however, that the players are the same and that "no ringers" will be played.
FRESHMAN DEBATE.
The subject of the Freshman de- bate with Beloit this year that has been presented to Lake Forest is: Resolved, that, conceding the constitutionality all corporations engaged in interstate commerce be compelled to take out federal license.
Mr. Burrill will meet with all the Freshmen who wish to make the team on Monday, 17th, and will give them preliminary trial. Lake Forest can choose either phase of the question.
The debate is held at Beloit this year. The Freshmen should strive keenly to make the team for it means considerable experience and a most pleasurable trip not to mention the personal glory which falls to' the mem- bers of a successful team.

We wonder what kind of class spirit it is that will permit a man to be "put through" or "hazed" by other members of his own class.
What a fine Christmas present for the College, a fifty thousand dollar endowment would make!
[The following article was written at our re- quest by Mr. Akira Izuma, our representative from Japan, to give, us some idea of the Christmas and New Year's festivities in Japan. J
"SAIBO" IN JAPAN
The latter half of December is the happiest time of the year for the young people of Japan. This short period we call "Saibo", which means,
literally, "the end of the year", but, virtually, ''the time of melody and mirth."
The celebration of Christmas dates from fifty years ago, when it was in- troduced by a few Christians of the coast towns. The custom has spread gradually through the country, until now it is considered the great feast next to that of the New Year. Being celebrated during the season of "Saibo" it has greatly intensified the meaning of "Saibo."
"Saibo" starts on or about the twenty-fifth of December, and lasts until the New Year. During this period people exchange presents, and make short calls (a long stay is con- sidered impolite on such an occasion); sleighs loaded with gifts crowd the streets everywhere one goes; and pedestrians are seen weaving through the crowded streets with quick steps. Green arches of pine or cedar branches adorn every house, poor or rich. Some are lighted by electricity, while others are trimmed with Gifu lanterns. The foot of the arch is matted with rice straw bearing rice, on which some- times, are stamped the two" words "long life" and "happiness". In front of the grain and sake store, we may see a tremendous arch built of sake barrels and sacks of rice. At the foot of this arch stands a crowd of men drinking with small dippers from a twenty gallon barrel of sake, which is made of rice. It is free, every passer- by being entitled to a dipperful.
There is another curious custom to be seen on the street. At nearly every corner is set a movable stove near which work three or four muscu- lar fellow? crushing rice, which has been previously steamed, in a mortar about three feet in height, and five feet in diameter. The dough-like sub-

stance which results is called "Mochi" and it is made only at this time of the year. It is eaten with sauce made with walnuts, red or white beans or peas, or sometimes, with soup, es- pecially game soups — chicken, duck or quail. It is generally prepared by slicing it in pieces an inch thick, and then baking or broiling it over a red fire; or it is cut into small cubes, which are roasted over the fire till they puff. Maple sugar, chocalate or molasses, go well with the puffed "Mochi". Chestnuts, Japanese tanger- ines, black peas, salted salmon, a cer- tain edible sea-weed, new rice, and Saki are supposed to be the customary dishes of the season.
It is the era of good feeling. Parents and employers delight in the happiness of their children and em- ployees; creditor clasps hands with debtor; strangers bow to each other; rivals put aside their rivalry; and even enemies greet one another with a smile. They sing "happiness within, devils without", for all evil has been excluded for a time. Such a scene may almost make us doubt whether they have ever known or felt the hardships of life.
We print the following from the O.skaloosa (Iowa) High School "O." Perhaps Paul can explain. "In ex- change we receive "The STENTOR," from Lake Forest, a fine weekly paper. We notice that Paul and Sam Stoltz and Mather, of Ottumwa, are on the football team. Paul Stoltz is playing a star quarter for that team. Wonder if he would remember this : 'Stoltzie wants his ma-ma-ma?' "
Prof. Henry W. Stewart has removed from Lake Bluff and is now occupying the Rossiter House on Deerpath avenue.

Dr. Boyle gave one of his "talks" to the men of the Y. M, C. A. on last Thursday evening. Among other things he told of the wonderful work of the lumberjack's preacher — the "Sky Pilot."

VESPER SERVICE
The Yesper Service of last Sun- da)- afternoon was led by Professor Halsey. The theme of his address was the growing revelation of God. The earliest conception of God, as a personality, was that of an awe-inspir- ing King. That conception was re- placed with the idea of God as a Prophet. And finally, through
Christ's revelations to us, we have come to look upon Him as a Father. Zophar's query: "Canst thou by searching find out God?" has been answered. The virtues set forth in the character of Christ are the attri- butes of God. Christ is the Revealer of God to us.

"An American Citizen"
To be Presented by the GarricK Club Friday Evening', January 25tn.
The successful contestants for the honor of membership on the Garrick Club have finally been chosen. They are: Miss Camilla Bockhoff, Miss Bess Williams, Miss Goldsmith, Mr. Thomas Boys, Mr. George Waldorf, Mr. Jacob Schwartz and Mr. S. Peter Robineau.
The management of the Garrick Club has announced that the annual play is to be presented on January 25th, 1907, and that the production is to be an "An American Citizen" by Madeleinne Lucette Ryley.
"An American Citizen" is one of the favorite plays of the celebrated American comedian, Nat C. Goodwin and it was with this comedy as a med- ium that his wife, Miss Maxine Elliott, and he were so easily able to gain an enthusiastic welcome into the favor of the English play goers during their London season in 1902. Its light but interesting plot, its cleverly depicted, truly American characters, its breezy dialogue and unending "go," have made the play one of the most deservedly popular American come- dies that ever an American author gave to an American company to pre- sent to an American audience. Its
comedy is clean and mirthful and there's plenty of it and anyone can see the humor in it — well it made the English laugh — what further com- mendation need a comedy have?
The cast of characters will be as follows:
Beresford Cruger Mr. Lloyd Munger
Peter Barbury Mr. S- Peter Robineau
Edgerton Brown Mr. Paul B. Sommers
Sir Humphrey Bunn Mr. Thomas Boys
Willie Bunn Mr. William Igou
Otto Stroble Mr. Jacob Schwartz
Lucas Mr . Igou
Simms Mr. Marquis
Carola Chapin Miss Bess Williams
Lady Bunn Miss Marguerite Robertson
Georgia Chapin Miss Ann Ryon
Annette Miss Goldsmith
Mercury "Pee Wee" (Mr. Headley)
Beatrice Carew Miss Helen Cutler
The play is in four acts and fur- nishes about two and a quarter hours of keen pleasure. The production promises to be a finished one inasmuch as the cast and Professor Clapp spend two to three hours every night at rehearsal.
Further announcement will be made in the next issue regarding the procuring of reserved seats, etc.

STUDENTS BID DR. HARLAN FAREWELL.
On Monday, December 17, im- mediately after an abbreviated chapel service, nearly the entire student body went to the station to bid farewell to Dr. Harlan and his wife, who were leaving for Washington. For ten minutes before the arrival of the train the station platform resounded with the songs and yells of the students who thus expressed as best they could their sorrow at his departure and their good wishes for his future.
HARLAN CUP.
A large number of the students were desirous of presenting to Dr. Harlan, a substantial token of the high place he had won in their esteem and affection during his presidency. Messrs. G. E. Michael, S. P. Robineau, H. R. Brown and Chester Wharton acted as a committee to get subscrip- tions from the student body, and bef re college disbanded for the holidays had collected a sufficient amount to pur- chase a very beautiful silver loving cup. This cup will have an appropriate inscription engraved and will be for- warded to Dr Harlan. Dr. Boyle is to be heartily thanked for his active cooperation and interest in the matter and it is more or less due to him that so handsome a souvenir is to be pre- sented to our beloved retiring presi- dent.

BASKET BALL SEASON OPENS TOMORROW.
Everybody Out to Help Win the First Game.
The basket ball season opens to- morrow night with a game with North- western University, to be played at Evanston.
Last year we defeated Northwest- ern here, and hope to do the same this year. The team is in good shape now, and the team work is a hundred per cent, better than it was before the holi- days. Northwestern also claims to have the best team that has represented her for some time, so it is evident that there will be things doing.
Those wishing to go should hand their names to Callahan immediately, so that arrangements can be made to get seats for our rooters together. The game will be played in the old gymnasium and will be called at eight o'clock. Reserved seats may be had for twenty-five cents.
Baseball Practice in Gymnasium.
Indoor practice for baseball started yesterday and will be held from now until spring on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from one to three o'clock.
Only three monogram men were lost last year and there seems to be a number of good fielders among the new men but so far the number of pitchers is exceedingly ^small. It is up to someone to get busy.
BasKetball Schedule.
The basket ball schedule, with the exception of the trip, is nearly com- plete. The trip will be from the 13th to the 17th of February, and will prob- ably include games with Monmouth College, Galesburg Y. M. C. A., Peoria Y. M. C. A., and Eureka College.
The remainder of the schedule is as follows:
January 1 1 — Northwestern University at Evan- ston. January 18 — Lewis Institute — Here. January 26 — Wheaton College at Wheaton. February 1 — Open — Will be played here. February 2 — Northwestern College at Naper-

Each squad will have a captain, and there will be a series of basket ball games and relay races. There is a tendency now among the

Welcome, 1907!
Although the season for New Year's greetings is almost spent, we cannot refrain from wishing our read- ers a Happy New Year! — and may it be happy in the truest sense of the word.
But what we most desire is that this year of promise, of opportunity, for our Alma Mater, may prove the most prosperous that she has known ! Though the year which has just closed has, in some ways, been disappointing, nevertheless it has brought the College to the very threshold of her land of promise. The first of the Blackstone dormitories is well on the way toward
completion; the other dormitory, the Durand Commons, and the Carnegie Science Hall are just waiting to be built, dependent only on the raising of a meager fifty thousand dollar endow- ment— it seems meager indeed, when we hear almost daily of the large sums given to our sister institutions. Al- though that endowment seems slow in making its appearance, we are confi- dent that it will be forthcoming.
As to the selection of a new presi- dent we know only that several men are under consideration by the Board and that that body is making every effort to secure a man in whose hands the future of the college may safely rest. A very strong man is needed — shall we have him?
With these new buildings and with a strong president at her head, the destiny of Lake Forest College as one of the strongest colleges of the west, is assured!
CHRISTMAS MUSICALE GIVEN BY LOIS HALL GLEE CLUB.
On Tuesday evening before the holidays the Lois Hall Glee Club gave its annual Christmas musicale. The program was well arranged, and every number was well rendered. The num- bers most keenly enjoyed were per- haps Godard's "Bercense" sung by Miss Nesbit; the second of Miss Ryon's readings; Denza's "She Sleeps," by Miss Cutler and the Glee Club; and Palicot's "The Moth's". Conant's "Under a Toadstool," and Elgar's "The Snow." This latter.Elgar's "The Snow," was without doubt the finest thing on the program. Both the Glee Club and their leader, Mrs. Thomas, may well pride themselves upon the success of this concert.

CHRISTMAS FEED AT COMMONS.
As usual, Mother Harper gave the boys a big turkey dinner on the night before they left for their vacations. Now the most difficult thing that we have yet encountered in our efforts at plying the pen seems to be the proper description of a "good big feed." We won't therefore attempt it. A long drawn out oom-yum, yum, yum accom- panied with a roll of the eyes and a circular patting of the abdomen would pantomime the desired sensation as well as anything we can think of. Mrs. Harper let out for us the best wrinkles she had in her culinary repertoire and kept the bunch busy gourmandizing every inch of the way from the consomme to the finger bowls. Champion Eater Jones this time weighed in at 165 and left 6 pounds to the good. Professor Bur- nap refused to commit himself — "I have a pretty good cook at home my- self and you know there is such a thing as professional jealousy."
After the dinner the football monograms were presented by Pro- fessor Burnap, the president of the Athletic Board, to the members of the '06 football team.
After a good singfest and a heart- felt "Alma Mater" the Epicureans dispersed better prepared to enjoy their holidays.

THE PRESENTATION OF "THE MESSIAH." A SUCCESS.
The presentation of "The Messi ah" by a chorus of students from the (Col- lege and Ferry Hall, assisted by a|solo quartette, on the Friday evening before the Christmas holidays, was a decided success. Despite the fact that the students had never before taken part together in anything similar, and of the fewness of rehearsals, through the efforts of the leader, Miss Flem- ming, some excellent chorus work was accomplished. It is hoped that this may not be the last of such efforts.
At the close of the oratorio, those who took part in its presentation, upon Dr. Boyle's invitation, repaired to the Manse, where they spent a very pleas- ant hour and a half felicitating them- selves and enjoying the relaxation after the strain of the evening's con- cert.

Professor Starr Has Returned.
Proiessor Frederick Starr, who has been away from Chicago for a year and a half on an extended trip of explora- tion through the Congo FTee State, has returned.
The object of Professor Starr's expedition was the study of the pigmy races of the Congo.
The facts gathered in this expedi- tion will be used as a basis for impor- tant scientific investigations. A course on "The People of the Congo Free State" is offered by Professor Starr this quarter, and is arousing considera- ble interest in the University, with a registration of about fifty students.
Professor Starr collected a great number of specimens, and will have a large number of photographs of the people he studied.
A distance of more than 20,000 miles was traveled by Professor Starr in his researches. Only one other white man, Professor Wolf, an agent of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, had ever penetrated as far into the
Oiku River territory as did Profossor Starr in this expedition.

At a joint meeting of the Faculty and Student Committee at Yale new- campus rules were adopted. Students are now forbidden to throw snowballs in the College buildings or yards or to smoke upon the steps or in the entries of the public buildings. The playing of football or any form of scrimmage game is forbidden on the College cam- pus, but the Senior baseball game — played with a tennis ball and bat — will be allowed during recreation hours. — Ex.
Minnesota to Have SKating RinK.
Minnesota has decided to flood Northrop field, her new athlectic ground. The Athletic Board of Con- trol of the University received at their meeting Monday a petition signed by over two hundred students asking that such action be taken. As a result the board voted to have the field prepared for flooding at once. Plans are now being perfected for inter-fraternity hockey, to be played on the new rink. — Maroon.

Does an Education Pay ?
The average educated man gets a salary of $1,000 a year. He works forty years, making a total of $40,000 in a lifetime. The average day laborer gets $1.50 a day, 300 days in a year. In forty years he earns $18,000. The difference, or $22,000, equals the value of an education. To acquire this earn- ing capacity requires twelve years at school, of 189 days each, or 2,160 days. Dividing $22,000, the value of an edu- cation, by 2,160, the number of days required in getting it, we find that each day at school is worth a little more tnan $10 to a pupil. Can't afford to lose a day, can we? — Ex.
Yale vs. Chicago Football Possibility of 1907
The Northwestern cites the fol- lowing account from the Daily Maroon in the belief that it relates to a matter of general interest: —
The possibility of an eastern game for Chicago has now changed the as- pect of the football situation as far as the 1907 schedule is concerned. Ac- cording to press dispatches from New Haven, Yale may give Chicago the place on its schedule which Harvard has long held in case the Crimson fol- lows out President Eliot's suggestions and decides to get along without foot- ball.
What Chicago ThinKs.
Chicago would strongly favor a game with Yale. The news that Yale's attitude is favorable was the cause for jubilation on the campus yesterday. The students and alumni would favor such a game, almost to a man, and it is known that the "Old Man" has long wanted a test of strength with his alma mater. The Chicago schedule is as yet in indefinite shape, the Minnesota game on November 2 being the only date scheduled. The
Yale- Harvard game usually is played the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
Yale Defeats Oberlin 34 to 28.
Oberlin lost the first game of its- basketball season to Yale Wednesday,, the score standing 34 to 28. Yale was only two points in the lead ai the end of the first half. In the second half Oberlin gained a lead until Yale, by making three baskets in succession,, took the lead and kept it.

WALTER SMITH, Ph. D.

PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY
LAKE FOREST COLLEGE
January. 1890 June, 1904
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Board of Trustees be instructed to make expression of their appreciation of the high character of Dr. Walter Smith and of the worthy ser- vice rendered by him to Lake Forest College, and to express their profound sorrow in view of his death and to assure his wife and family of their sincere sympathy.

Professor Smith: An Appreciation
Lake Forest, Jan. 14, 1907. My Dear Mrs. Smith:
The Faculty wishes to express to you and to your family their sympathy with you in the great loss you have sustained. It is our loss too.
Dr. Smith was very dear to us. We gratefully recall his long term of distinguished service to the College. We will never forget his unselfish nature, his scholarly attainments and broad culture, and his noble nature What a deep interest he took in every- thing helpful to human life! How generous his sympathy with all aspira- tion toward physical, intellectual, and spiritual attainment! In his grasp of educational problems he was very searching, and his whole outlook on life and its larger meaning and possi- bilities was broad and comprehensive. We remember his gentleness and generosity with a sincere desire to emulate them. The pervasive influ- ence of his gracious personality, his accurate scholarship, his charming manner were wondrously helpful to all of us, his colleagues, to the student body, and to the community. In a word, Dr. Smith was loved by us for what he did, but even more, for what he was as scholar, teacher, counsellor, friend — as Christian gentleman.
With profoundest sympathy and respect, for the Faculty,
JOHN J. HALSEY, President. Malcolm McNeill, Secretary.
'Walter Smith was the best man I ever knew," was the quiet comment of one of his colleagues a few hours after the news of his death reached us. The loss of such store of worth has left us poor, but to all who knew him,
family, colleagues, pupils, friends, his memory remains a benediction. He being dead, yet speaketh.
For two or three years he has been away from Lake Forest, but his heart was still here, for to Lake Forest College his prime was devoted, and it is fitting therefore that THE STENTOR should .take a simple account of his life.
Mr. Smith was a reticent man, and seldom spoke about himself even to his intimates. But the salient facts of his life are, approximately, as follows. His mother was of French extraction, bringing the family name Lorrain, his father was a Scotch clergyman of dis- tinction, who served important parishes especially one at Liverpool, until the breaking down of his health obliged him to return to Scotland to a smaller charge at Hulf-Morton in Dumfries- shire, and here was the home from which his children went out into the world. The home was one of piety and culture, of amity and good Scotch wit. The best proof of this is the character and intellectual power of its sons and daughters. Of the five sons, one, Joseph, is now an actuary in Australia; another, James Lorrain, is a distinguished physician, formerly a professor in Belfast University and now professor of Pathology in the University of Manchester; the third, William, for some years professor in Smith College at Northampton, Mass., is now professor of Experiment- al Psychology at Edinburgh University; while the eldest son went as a medical missionary to South Africa and died there some fifteen years ago. Of the three daughters, one died a few years since in Australia; a second, Margaret,

In Memoriam.
"A great life has passed away." It is such a life as that of Dr. Smith — great in its simplicity and in its quiet- ness— that we miss most. But few of those who are now in the College have had the privilege of knowing him and those few not intimately, yet we have all known and felt the quiet influence which he has exerted, and will continue to exert upon the for- tunes of the institution which is dear to us all.
We cannot but express, too, our sympathy with that one of our own number who lost in Dr. Smith, a kind and loving father.
A Period of Literary Activity.
We have just entered that period of the college year which should be,, and usually is the period of greatest literary activity. The fall athletics are over and the spring with all its distrac- tions, is not here to allure us to pleas- anter pursuits. These few winter months present to us the opportunity for some serious work along literary- lines.
The Dramatic Club is and has been; for some time hard at work. The in- ter-society debating teams were chosen last Monday night and both teams are putting all their energy into the win- ning of that debate. The freshman team which is to meet the freshmen of Beloit in debate is shortly to be chos- en. And the Oratorical Contest has been set for the latter part of Febru- ary.
The first two activities have al- ready been limited to a certain number of students. The number of men in the race for the Freshman Debate has been narrowed down somewhat. But there is still a two-fold opportunity for this kind of work afforded every stu- dent, by the Literary Societies and the Oratorical Contest. If you have not been so fortunate as to become a member of the Garrick Club or of one of the debating teams, enter into your Literary Society work with the greater vim or seek a place in the Oratorical Contest.
The Oratorical Contest needs the especial attention of the students. Our debating teams for the past few years have been for the most part winning teams. In other words our interest in, and our standard of debating, has been excellent. But we cannot speak so highly of our interest in oratory. In our three years' relations with the

Northern Illinois Oratorical League we have not carried away a single first and only one second have we acheived. It is up to you to change that record this year!
MR. BETTEN SUCCEEDS PROFESSOR
NEEDHAM— B.G. SMITH, OF MICHIGAN.
ASSISTANT.
The following statement was given out a few days ago by President Hal- sey:
"The Board of Trustees at a meet- ing last Friday granted the request of the Faculty with reference to the suc- cession to Dr. Needham when he leaves us. Mr. Cornelius Betten was appointed to take charge of this work for the second semester, with the title of Assistant Professor, and the Instruc- tor in Biology to succeed Mr. Betten was also appointed, Mr. B. G. Smith, of the University of Michigan."
Mr. Betten's worthy services in the past two years have proved him eminently capable of taking up the work which Professor Needham leaves off at the end of this semester. Pro- fessor Needham is to have charge of the Chair of Limnology under the De- partment of Entomology and Inverte- brate Zoology. The loss of Professor Needham will be keenly felt by the students. He has been held in their highest admiration, not only for his high ability as a teacher, but for his qualities as a man and as a friend.
Mr. Bertram G. Smith, who is to assist Mr. Betten, comes to us from the University of Michigan, where he has served for the past two years as Assistant and in the Department of Zoology. His specialty is Amphian Embryology.
GARRICK CLUB
The date of the presentation of "An American Citizen" by the Gar- rick Club has been changed from Fri- day, January 25th to Saturday, January 26th.
The sale of reserved seats will be opened at the College Book Store next Monday a. m. and will continue there until Tuesday p. m., when the sale will be continued at French's Drug Store.
The cast is rapidly being rounded into perfection under the assiduous direction of Professor Clapp and, from the quality of their performance during the rehearsals we may look forward to one of the best productions ever given us by the Club.
The price of admission is to be 50 cents for college students and 7$ cents for others. All seats will be re- served.
WHITNEY BROTHERS QUARTETTE AT ART INSTITUTE.
On Saturday evening the Young Men's Club will give its second enter- tainment in the Art Institute. The Whitney Brothers Quartette will render a unique musical program varied by readings.
The Quartette not only comes with the highest recommendations but also, the quality of its work is very in- timately known by those who were in- strumental in securing its services.
This concert should gain the hearty support of the students of the College. A good attendance on their part will not only lend encouragement to the work of the Young Men's Club, but it will afford them an evening of great pleasure. The price for students is twenty-five cents.
Miss May Rogers, '99, was here last Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Gruenstein.

TICTORY OPENS BASKETBALL SEASON
Northwestern University the Victim.
Lake Forest opened the basket ball season last Friday by defeating Northwestern University at Evanston by the score of sixteen to ten. The game was fast and rather rough but was well played and the work of our men was a surprise even to the most optimistic rooters. Northwestern had the advantage in height and weight but was outclassed both in team work and basket throwing. Lake Forest's weak point was the inability to make free throws. Thirteen out of seventeen chances were missed. This, however, may easily be remedied by a little practice. Swift starred in this* depart- ment, making eight points for North- western out of ten trials. He also threw the only field goal scored by his side during the entire game. There was no particular star for Lake Forest. Each man played his position and worked well with the others. It was the first appearance on the first team
of the men, Callahan, '08, and Mather and Stoltz, '10.
As the men have had only about three weeks practice the prospects, which were good before seem still brighter for success throughout the season.

To the gentleman in distress on the Ferry Hall campus at 10: 10 p. m, Saturday evening, January 12. My dear Sir:
You really fooled us. We had just settled down to sleep when your piercing cries for help swept the cob- webs from our brains and sent us chattering into the halls. We were brave and demanded that John and the lantern go to your rescue at once. (We stayed indoors to tear bandages.). We remembered that man in our town who was held up by brigands, and that other man in the next town who was eaten by a lion. We didn't hear any roaring so we settled down to the robber theory. Our corridor teachers tried in vain to calm us. "Bed indeed!" we shrieked, "and one in mortal terror! Never!" And perhaps we thought of

the porches and our windows and per- haps we didn't.
Then — you must excuse us for laughing at you — then you whistled. Fatal mistake! We pitied you no longer. We wouldn't have rescued you from an escaped circus at that moment. We told our roommate that we knew it was a fake all the time. And we struck you from our calling list. Did you ever hear of the little boy who called "wolf" once too often? Coldly yours,
A Victim.
THE PATTERSON PARTY.
Miss Katherine Patterson, ex-'o8, tendered a party to her many friends among the college students. It was held last Saturday evening at the Deerpath Inn. The following college students attended:
Misses: C. Bockhoff, M. Bock- hoff, McCandless, Hendy, A. Ryon, C. Ryon, Davis, Steele, Cutler, Mc- Kown, E. Hall, Wilkins.
Messrs.: Frazer, Ferguson, Hoopes, Hall, Farr, Keithley, Harris, Michael, Sommers, Robineau, Zimmer- man, Shroyer, Munger, Palmer, Westervelt, Talcott and McCrea, and Simons of the Academy.
The dancing was held in the Inn Dining Hall which looked very attrac- tive in gala decorations. A most de- lightful time was reported to have been experienced by all those who at- tended.
"If I were called upon to name the one thing which I think we could not dispense with in Cornell university, it it is military drill," says former Presi- dent Andrew D. White of Cornell in a statement published in the current number of the Army and Navy Journal.

Before a crowd which filled every available inch of space in the gymnas- ium, the Academy basket ball team Saturday afternoon opened the season by defeating Armour 46 to 18. The team showed surprisingly good form,, the team work and long passing being of the first order. While the work of every man on the team was good, that of Captain Hotchkin and Tavlor de- serves special mention, the former in working the ball down the field and the latter in his great basket throwing. He has no less than fourteen baskets- to his credit. Smith showed up strong on throwing fouls. The team plays at Highland Park next Saturday and the following week meets Northwest- ern Academy here.

DR. SMITH'S FUNERAL.
The funeral services were very fit- tingly held in the Reid Memorial Cha- pel, an edifice, in the erection and dedication of which Dr. Smith had taken great interest.
By three o'clock on Monday after- noon a large company had gathered in the Chapel to do him honor. The services were simple, yet very impres- sive. Dr. McClurewho had long been associated with Dr. Smith both in his capacity as President of Lake For- est College and as a friend, conducted the services, Mr. Gruenstein, of the Presbyterian church, and Mr. Arthur H. Ranous, of the Episcopal church, taking charge of the music.
Dr. McClure's very simple and brief address was somewhat as follows:
Though he was born across the
waters and though his kindred are there, yet it was here that he reaped the fruition of his work — here are his friends!
He was a man of great loyalty. He gave his highest devotion to his labors, his friendships, and especially to this institution. He magnified the work to which God had committed him. * He was a man
of quiet humor, of penetrating intel- lect, of broad culture and of great re- source. His will was strong and ro- bust, and yet he was characterized by great tenderness, humility and deli- cacy of nature. He continued to grow in the Christian life. Despite the at tacks on the basic elements of Christianity with which he met, he developed in sweet faith in God. * * * From such a life we get new faith, new hope and courage for the race we must run.

An American Citizen
Art Institute, Saturday Evening
The Garrick Club will present its annual play Saturday night. "The American Citizen" is a thoroughly pro- fessional play and the management of the Club went to no little trouble and expense in trying to obtain the con- sent of the playwright to present it with an amateur cast. However the prospective audience need have no fear of the manner in which the Club will handle Nat C. Goodwin's pet play. Under the careful and thorough direc- tion of Prof. Clapp the members have mastered the intricacies of the dialogue and action that were Nat Goodwin and his clever charming wife, Maxine El- liot, among the audience Saturday night, they would well "sit up and take notice" and marvel at the remarkable talent of Mr. Munger and Miss Cutler.
The play itself is an exceptional one. Although in toto a comedy, it affords opportunity for the display of nearly all the emotions from anger to laughter. Its comedy is most efferves- cent, light, clean, spontaneous and without the ridiculousness of farce.
Its serious strains are quick to arouse the interest and sympathies without leaving the usual "lourdeur" which generally follows. The plot in
fact never loses its all absorbing hold on the audience.
Altogether it will be well worth while to put off whatever other ar- rangements might have been made and come to the best show that has ever been produced in Lake Forest by the College Dramatic Club.
The seats are now on sale at French's Drug Store. They are all reserved but it will pay to order early lest the best ones be all sold. The management is having a "standing room only" sign painted.

THE WHITNEY BROTHERS QUARTETTE
Despite the inclemency of the weather last Saturday evening, a fair sized audience gathered to hear the program rendered by the Whitney Brothers Quartette, under the auspices of the Young Mens' Club of this city.
The following was the program given:
Sailing - - Jas. H. Rogers
Quartette
Reading, Ashes of Old Wishes ' - Templeton Edwin M. Whitney
Morning in the Dewy Wood - F. Hegar Tenor Solo, Once - Arthur Hurvey
Reading, A Besetting Sin, Edwin Vance Cook
Edwin M. Whitney What Care I How Fair She Be? Blumenthal Bass Solo, Bedouin Love Song - Pinsuti

a. How Can I Leave Thee - Old German
b. Santa Lucia - Italian
c. Oft in the Stilly Night - Irish Readiug, A March Meeting - Robinson
Edwin M. Whitney- Grace Be Unto You - - Trowbridge Quartette
The Quartet itself was excellent in every way. The voices were good, they blended perfectly, and nice dis- crimination in the manner of present- ing the songs was shown. The solo voices, tenor and bass, were good, the bass being exceptionally good. But the very best part of the program, was the readings, given by Mr. Edwin M. Whitney. Some of his selections, es- pecially the "Ashes of Old Wishes," were very difficult; but he rendered them with as much ease and artistic finish as he did the simpler ones. The Young Men's Club is to be con- gratulated upon the success of the second number of its Entertainment Course.

LAKE FOREST 38, LEWIS IHSTITUTE 21.
Team Wins First Home Game
Lake Forest played the first home game of the basket ball season last Friday night against Lewis Institute and won easily by the score of thirty- eight to twenty-one. All of the space available was filled with rooters and they were not disappointed in the game. It was played under the inter- collegiate rules which helped to make the play fast and exciting throughout.
The first half ended with almost a shut-out in favor of Lake Forest, the score being ig to 3 at the end of that period. Lewis three points were made from free throws. The second half opened in much the same manner, every one of the team taking a shot at the basket and nineteen points more were added to our score. Toward the end of the half, however, Lewis got buzy and the greater part of her score was made in the last few minutes of play. Our men were clearly superior to their opponents not only in throwing baskets but also in team work and passing.
Aurand and Aldons did the great- er part of the scoring for Lewis, the

Women Defeat Deerfield.
The women's basket ball team up- held its reputation for being unable to> lose by defeating Deerfield Township High School on Friday afternoon. The first part of the game was played under rules restricting the players to certain parts of the floor and as a re- sult was exceedingly slow and uninter- esting. The college team being un- used to these rules was unable to use its team plays and had to be contented with the small end of the score for the first period.
The last part was played under

rules allowing more freedom and the game became well worth watching.
The Deerfield forwards made the best of their chances to score but the team work of Miss Nesbit's cohorts was too much for them and the game ended with the score twenty-seven to fifteen in favor of Lake Forest.

Team Goes to Wheaton Saturday.
The basketball team plays its next game Saturday night with Wheaton College at Wheaton, and, to judge from comparative scores, should return victorious. Wheaton was defeated by Lewis Institute and Lewis was in turn defeated by Lake Forest, so that if the team plays in its usual form it will be one step nearer to the championship of the colleges of this state.
The game will start at eight-thirty and it will not be necessary to leave here before six o'clock Saturday even- ing. This is a good chance for any- one that does not care for dramatics to see a good basketball game.

Are We Discourteous?
We take no pleasure in publishing the communication which this issue contains. We are very much cha- grined that such an opinion can any- where be entertained of the men of Lake Forest College. We hope it is not true; we hope that the writer may have been mistaken in the identity of the men — but we fear it is only too true.
One of the charges most often made against college students is their disregard for law. No doubt the Ger- man custom of Medieval times — which we understand still obtains in some
places — of giving the student a certain? exemption from civil law, is, to a large extent, responsible for this. Perhaps the discourtesy, the irreverence, of the average student has its origin in this same custom.
But even if that were an excuse for lack of courtesy on the part of the average college student — and it is not — it could not for a moment be valid for us. For it is one of the benefits that we claim arise from our co-educa- tional system, namely, that here we learn, if we have not learned before, to treat our fellow-creature, woman, with respect, with courtesy, and with chivalry.
We are heartily ashamed that such a charge can be brought against any- of our number. But we have confi- dence enough in the character and in the strength of student opinion to be- lieve that such discourtesy can and. will be stamped out!
To the Stentor:
A lady recently made a remark the sweeping character of which I slightly resented. "I wish," she said,, "that some one would teach these college students to give to women an equal share of the sidewalk with them- selves. More than once I have been forced off the walk by several young men abreast."
Having confidence in the gentle- manly nature of several friends of mine in the college I made at least a mental protest, and as often before I regretted that the innocent should suffer with the guilty.
But an experience the other day showed me that there exists grounds for indignant criticism. I was walking in the early dusk, and seeing five or six young men coming I thought of the lady's remark. Three passed me

abreast — I at the extreme right of the walk — the one next me hitting me violently as he roughly shoved by. No apology was offered, they went noisily on, the most extreme exam- ples of ill-breeding I have ever en- countered in Lake Forest.
How shall these things be remedied?

COLLEGE AND VARSITY NOTES
The committee having in charge the arrangements for the Junior play at the University of Wisconsin are considering the question of having the women of the varsity usher for the production. At the production of "The Deceitful Dean" by Chicago University students last month twenty representatives of the various women's societies had charge of the ushering, and the plan was very successful. The proposed plan is an innovation at Wisconsin and some Juniors are as yet a little doubtful as to its reception.
So many "flunks" and "cons" have been issued to the women at Chicago because of the rushing season's de- mands that the girls' club will here- after pledge no freshmen until the be- ginning of the sophomore year.
The Triangular League, composed of Pennsylvania, Columbia and Cor- nell, will debate the following ques- tion: Resolved, That immigration should be further restricted by an educational test.

Garrick Club Wins Laurels
Presentation of "An American Citizen" by Gar- rick Club its Greatest Achievement.
The work of the Garrick Club in the presentation of Madeleine Lucette Ryley's "An American Citizen," on Saturday evening, excelled in nearly every particular, anything it had done previously. The play itself, probably had more interesting situations than any previous play; there was consider- able improvement in scenery; and the cast was easily the best, as a whole, that has appeared before the footlights in Lake Forest for some time.
There were defects, to be sure. It is probable that the audience, during the first act, was not in perfect sympa- thy with the players; but by the end of the second act it was under perfect control, save for its propensity to laugh at the critical moment. The ■make-ups were good, save in one or two cases where the painting was very much overdone. In one or two cases, too, the prompter was heard. As for the music, or rather the lack of it, be- tween acts — neither the management nor the orchestra was responsible. Professor Fulton and his orchestra could do little with a piano which had five broken hammers to its credit. But these few defects are very insig- nificant, when compared with the en- tire production.
Mr. Munger as Beresford Cru- ger, and Miss Cutler as Bea- trice Carew, very naturally made the hit of the evening. For Mr. Munger it was a fitting climax to a successful career in College Dramatics, and for Miss Cutler it was an auspicious beginning. Not a single character fell flat, indeed nearly every one that had the least chance, dis- tinguished himself. The feminine part of the cast is especially to be congrat- ulated upon the quality of its work. Heretofore the preponderance of the praise has been due the men — this time the laurels must be shared alike. As for Mr. Haven, who played the part of "Mercury," — we prophesy for him a brilliant future in College Drama- tics.
At the close of the play, the mem- bers of the Club regaled themselves with the best "feed" that Mr. Monahan could set before them.

REV. GEORGE E. THOMPSON.
The following item concerning the death of the Rev. George E. Thompson, of the class of '87, has been received and is deemed worthy of being printed entire. Dr. Halsey says of him, "He was one of our best men."
The boyhood days and early man, hood of Rev. George Thompson, who was buried here last week, were passed in this city. Early residents will remember his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Thompson. Their home on the site of the J. D. Oliver residence, was after their death in the seventies the home of their brother, Josiah Thompson, and wife, and nephew George, for many years.
After graduating with honors in 1887 from Lake Forest University, Lake Forest, 111., where he secured a medal for oratorical excellence, he entered Princeton university, Prince- ton, N. |., to prepare for the christian ministry. Immediately following his graduation from Princeton in 1889, he received a call to the Presbyterian church in Wilmington, Del. He was married to Miss Maud Cushman, of this city.
With the exception of some months spent in travel in Europe a continuous work in the ministry was carried on with great success by Mr. Thompson in Delaware, Michigan and until 1903, when it became necessary to rest on account of failing health. Accordingly he went to Colorado, where, his health improving, he ac- cepted the pastorate of the Presby- terian church in Monte Vista and was joined by his family. Last June the ministry to the church at Lamar began and Mr. Thompson preached for this parish until about six weeks before his death, which occurred in Denver, Colorado, on December 5. The
funeral services were held in Lamar, on December 8.
From boyhood he was of a thoughtful and gentle nature and to these qualities, strengthened as he developed into manhood, were added sympathy and love for all in distress, winning all hearts to himself and many souls to the better life. Not only was he an eloquent and accept- able preacher, but everyone who knew him felt the power of his Christ- ian life, which impressed the teaching of the truth more effectively than ser- mons of greatest profundity could do. That a life so fruitful in good works should be closed at the early age of forty-three is deeply deplored by many friends to whom he was greatly endeared, in this city and wherever his loving ministries were known. — South Bend (Ind ,) Tribune.

Professor Needham Gives Farewell TalK at Vespers
At the- Vesper Service, Sunday afternoon Professor Needham ad- dressed the students for the last time before his deparure for Cornell University. The theme of his talk was "'The Bible from the Naturalist stand- point." He said in part:
The Bible is of especial interest to the naturalist because it was written in large part by Naturalists. Nahum, David, the writer of Job, and the author of Genesis, were all lovers of Nature, and careful observers of the phenomine of Nature. Nowhere in all literature are there more beautiful, more delicate touches of Nature than in the Bible. It has great interest for the naturalist, too, because it embodies and exhibits some of the great natural principles. Therein is found the evi- dence of the evolution of man's con-

LAHE FOREST VS. WHEATON.
BasKetball Game Developes Into a Farce.
Last Saturday the basketball team played a game, that was called basket- ball by some, with Wheaton College at Wheaton.
When the ball had been put in play and after a few short passes, Callahan made a field goal. Shortly after this Louis Scott added a point by a free throw. Score three to nothing in favor of Lake Forest. From that time on the whistle blew almost con- tinually. Paul Stoltz managed to squeeze in another field goal and four more fouls were added to our score which stood nine to Wheaton's six at the end of the first half. In the second half the game developed into a mere contest at making free throws. Fouls were called upon any grounds what- ever and all attempts to play a fast game were useless. Three field goals that were thrown bv our men were not allowed and five points were awarded Wheaton. In this way our lead was gradually overcome. Our men, though discouraged, played as hard as ever but it was useless. The last straw came when Captain Scott attempted to remonstrate with the referee for an absurd decision. With- out paying the slightest attention to him that official instantly awarded Wheaton a point for delay of the
game on the part of Lake Forest. 1 1 1 was then that the team left the floor, in disgust.
During the game sixty-seven fouls were called. Allowing thirty seconds for each of these about thirty- four minutes of the thirty-eight played were taken up in making free throws. The reader can easily imagine how much real basket ball was played and he will be left to judge for himself whether or not the game was fair.
For the spectators we can say one thing, they were certainly well trained. Cowbells, horns and hisses mingled with an occasional cheer kept the visitors from becoming bored and un- doubtedly gave anyone that chanced to be outside the impression that some- thing exciting was going on within. Nothing can be said against the Wheaton players themselves. They played as good a game as was possible under the conditions and showed good spir it.

Statement by Coach Bradstreet.
After the unjust awarding' of five points for fouling, the not allowing of three jffield goals as 'fairly made as could be by our men and the calling of a foul on our captain, Louis Scott, when he stopped to speak to the referee, I felt perfectly justified in calling the game. The crowd also was very unsportsmanlike in conduct to both the men and myself. I feel sure that when Wheaton comes here a week from Saturday with a neutral referee, that our team will prove itself worthy of our support. I know also that the students of Lake Forest will conduct themselves in a true Lake Forest spirit.

Coach Secured for Baseball.
The following statement has been given out by President Halsey con- cerning a baseball coach:
"Mr. Fred P. Falkenberg has been engaged to coach the college baseball team for two months. Mr. Falken- berg is a recent graduate of the Uni- versity of Illinois and has been pitch- ing for the Washington team of the American League. He has had ex- perience in coaching at the State University."
The cage has been put up in the gym and practice is now held every day from one to three o'clock and from ten to twelve Saturday mornings.
Captain Milner has also arranged to have various well known profes- sionals give talks to the men. Among these will be Messrs. Hayner, "Jake' Wiemer, Callahan and Gertenrick.
So far about twenty-five men have reported for practice and more are expected as soon as the semester ^xaminatious are over.
SECOND TEAM ORGANIZED
Schedule Being Arranged
The second basket ball team has been organized and a schedule is be- ing arranged by Manager Bush. The team is made up of some good players and work is now being done to perfect the team work.
Eight games have been arranged for and several more are practically assured. A trip is being arranged for the latter part of February and will probably include Joliet, Ottawa, Pontiac and Fairbury. Captain West- ervelt says that there is yet room on the team for some good men and wishes to see more candidates out.
BasKet Ball Saturday Afternoon
What promises to be one of the best basket ball games of the season will be played here Saturday afternoon against Northwestern College. North- western defeated Northwestern Uni- verrity, and from all reports has a good team so that there is no danger of a slow contest. The game will be called at three o'clock.

THE AMERICAN- JAPANESE DIFFICULTY.
Akiba Izumi.
The present difficulties between the United States and Japan are due to the prejudice of the Labor Union in San Francisco, whose mayor is also leader of the Union. Eighty percent of the Unionists are foreign born Americans who are anxious to make a stronghold of their trade. Two years ago I travelled all over California to study the condition of the Japanese. The Japanese laborers are dominant in the horticultural and fruit-raising districts, whereas the American laborers monopolize the manufactur- ing, the farming, and the mechanical industries, and they receive better salaries than the former. Certain strawberry patches, which American farmers have abandoned as unprofit- able, have been taken up by the Japanese and are being cultivated to very great advantage. Thus they have different ability in various lines of work. If each should be limited to his own circle, both laborers would be very efficient in the industries of California. But it is human nature for the one, if he thinks the other a menace to his own interest to oust his rival for the safety and stability of his position.
There are disputes and conflicts among American laborers, but they are not nearly so severe as are those between Americans and Japanese. Because of the inability of the latter to speak English well, and to accustom themselves to the ways of the country, there is little association between them and the American laborers. When once dislike creeps in, every action, every word of one is disagreeable to the other; but on the contrary, when there is a liking between them, every- thing is agreeable, just as a "small pox
scar looks to the lovers a dimple."
The separate school measure of San Francisco was very clumsily ex- ecuted. The school Board was ruled by the Union, and it did not take time to study the legal procedure. I agree with the board that the adult Japanese should be excluded from the grade schools. I understand, too, and sympathize with the Union men who obeyed the natural law of self preservation. If only the
moral law could have conciliated with the natural, no trouble would have occured in San Francisco.
The segregation question has not yet been settled, but I am confident that it will be solved satisfactorily for both countries in a short time. It will be but a small ripple on the surface of deep water. I do not believe that there will be any international trouble which will end the friendly tie be- tween the two countries.
A few days ago Bishop Harris, after two years of service in Japan, said in his speech at Los Angeles: "Togo will commit 'Harakini' before he turns his entire fleet against the United States." The "Bushide," or spirit of Japan, forbids one to turn against a benefactor. Japan always considers the United States her bene- factor and the most favored nation among the "most favored nations."
If there is to be any trouble, it will be the "struggle for the supremacy of the Pacific." The Rev. Josiah Strong says in his book "The Mastery of the Pacific," that the United States will gain control of the Pacific, and reduce Japan to a dependency. Benja- min Kidd has said that civilization is oscillating toward the west — from Europe to America, from America toward Asia. If the United States

2-0.
Last Friday night both of the de- bating teams were defeated, the nega- tive by Morgan Park and the affirma- tive by Northwestern. Considering the fact that our fellows had only two week's preparation their work was very creditable.
Preparations are being made for a minstrel show which is to take place sometime in March.

does not control Asia, Japan will be suzerain both of Asia and the western Pacific.
The struggle for the supremacy of the Pacific is to be a competition of commerce, not of arms. The result of this competition will be a co-operation in trade by means of treaties and agreements between private compan- ies of both countries. When we are enthusiastic for commercial expansion we avoid war, as far as possible. Com- mercial men are always anxious to keep the peace. For the same reason
commercial nations will not fight, if there is any amicable means of settling the disputes. The commercial sphere in Asia and the Pacific is so wide and so promising that it might easily be divided between two or more coun- tries. The interests of the two coun- tries in the East are similar; hence they could well form a commercial union for the protection of their rights in Asia. Neither the United States nor Japan will encroach upon the interests of the other. There have been almost no wars of recent times fought for mere commercial suprem- acy. My belief is that this generation, at least, will not see a war between these two countries.

SERVICES OF THE DAY OF PRAYER
Last Thursday, the day set apart by many colleges and universities of the country as the Day of Prayer for Colleges, was fittingly commemorated here by two notable services.
For the morning service, which was held in the Chapel, Dr. Hill, an old Lake Forester, ex '84, and now Professor of Homiletics at McCormick Seminary, had been secured. The words of commendation and praise be- stowed on him by Dr. Halsey were none too strong, for Dr. Hill proved

•classes have always been as large as laboratory space permitted and that students have regularly been turned aside for lack of room. Moreover, of these students not a few have devoted themselves permanently to biological work.
For most of the time alone in charge of so large and diversified a field as Biologv, it has of course been impossible for Professor Needham to offer any extended or finely differen- tiated courses in either Botany or Zoology. The courses offered have been very general and biologic in their nature, centering about the great principles of biology, rather than in the details of any restricted field. Professor Needham has constantly endeavored to introduce the newer phases of biological work into his courses and it is in making many of these studies effective pedagogically that he has made the opening courses here quite unique among those offered in American colleges.
At odd moments and during the summer months Prof. Needham has managed to do considerable research work. These researches have been mainly on aquatic insects — first on dragon flies, later on may flies and stone flies. A great deal of this work has been done for the New York State Museum. Beginning with the summer of 1900 Dr. Needham has been in charge of an Entomologic Field Sta- tion for the State of New York and the results of that work appear in a series of bulletins of the State Museum. Of the first of these reports when it first appeared the United States Ento- mologist wrote that it was the most important contribution yet made to the knowledge of aquatic insects in America, and the others in the series are quite as important. When Prof.
Needham's first publication, "Elemen- tary Lessons in Zoology," appeared, the U. S. Entomologist commented favorably not only on its subject mat- ter but on the felicity of the style as well. The same might be done with equal reason regarding these later pub- lications. Besides the work already referred to, Dr. Needham has pub- lished many articles of scientific and educational interest and has almost ready a bulletin on the stone flies of New York and a textbook of College Biology. He is also serving as a mem- ber of the editorial boards of the American Naturalist and of Psyche.
The work to which Dr. Needham is called at Cornell is in. line with the researches just mentioned. It is a new department of Limnology which is or- ganized under the department of En- tomology and Invertebate Zoology. This study, as yet unorganized for col- lege work, may be defined as the bi- ology of fresh water plants and ani- mals. Prof. Needham plans to formu- late it for instruction of college classes but the greater part of his work will doubtless be the direction of graduate students in research work.
Prof. Needham is certainly to be congratulated on entering the particu- lar field of his choice under the favor- able circumstances which are to sur- round him at Cornell University. At the same time it is unfortunate for Lake Forest not to be able to keep him and it is with keen and universal regret that we lose him and his family from our college community.
Purdue and Indiana are engaged in a spirited controversy over the loca- tion of the new state medical school, which is to be decided at the present session of the legislature.

Lake Forest vs. Northwestern College
Lake Forest was defeated in bas- ket ball last week by Northwestern College. The game was fast and well played throughout. The team work of both sides was good, but the ball it- self seemed to be decidedly prejudiced in favor of Northwestern and showed a marked aversion to going into the Lake Forest basket.
Every man on the team played hard but for some reason they seemed to lack the snap and energy they have shown in the previous games. How- ever, whether the team played in its usual form or not, Northwestern scored the greater number of points and that is all that is necessary to win.
They certainly have a strong team and should make a good showing for championship honors, but we hope to lessen their chances in this line when the return game is played.
Schneller and Schroeder did the best work for Northwestern and made the greater part of their score, while the Scott brothers and Mathers did the most consistent work for Lake Forest.

Married Men vs. Bachelor-Widowers
Ben Franklin or some one like that once said that to be successful a man must be married and this state- ment was proven conclusively last Friday night when the "Married Men" defeated a composite "Bachelor- Widower" team, at what was intended to be a game of indoor base ball. It was the third annual function of the kind and will in probability be the last,, for the Bachelors seem to be dying a natural death, and with such men as "Bud" deserting them all hope for the future is lost.
As the signal was given for the grand march the two teams entered

with Captains Shroyer and Kiethley leading and executed several intricate and beautiful figures which brought loud applause from the balcony. The players then retired to their respective corners and the officials gathered to- gether to decide whether the game should be played according to Hoyle, or under the Marquis of Oueensbury rules. The Marquis finally won and then came the only unpleasant event of the evening. Kiethley as captain of the Married Men's team being un- able to produce his certificate it be- came the duty of Schroyer to see that an eligible man was put in the place. The case was presented with Palmer as prosecuting attorney and the "Swede" was thrown out. Harris was instant- taneously and unanimously elected to .fill the position and the game went on.
To describe the game accurately would be impossible as well as undesir- able, so an elaborate account will not be attempted.
The Married Men won by their superior batting and though the score was rather one-sided the game was at all times interesting and once it looked as though the "Has Beens" and "Never Were's" would turn the tables.
However at this moment "Ack" chanced to glance up into the balcony and after that there was "nothing do- ing" for the opposing batters.
[We refer any one that does not believe an athlete receives any moral support from the rooters to this ex- ample.]
Shroyer on being interviewed after the game gave out the following statement:
"I am sorry that the game was not postponed as several of my best men were unable to play tonight and we were forced to play without a full team. Had the team been full it is
hard to tell what might have hap- pened.

PROFESSOR BETTEN ENTERTAINS BONE CLUB.
The Bone Club, in respone to an invitation given by Dr. and Mrs. Bet- ten, held its annual banquet in their home last Thursday evening. The table groaned with evidences of Mrs. Betten's culinary skill. The Bone Club groaned in sympathy. It sailed into the attack bearing in mind the motto which is the rallying cry on all festal occasions, "Ede Bibe Gaude, Naur, Cras Morieris."
Some startling gastronomic stunts were performed. The famous eater, L. T. Jones completely upheld his reputation on this occason. Alexan- der sighed over lack of worlds to conquer. Jones sighed because nature endowed him with only one stomach to fill.
Official manipulation of the scales revealed the interesting fact that Mr. Jones was nine pounds heavier" at the finish. No other organization being able to beat these figures the Bone Club still holds the honors. Those who further aided Jones were: Mr. Craig, Mr. Caswell, Mr. Browne, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Prentice.

The New Semester.
The first semester with all that it has brought us of weakness or of strength, of failure or attainment is past. Another semester has come up- on us ere we were aware and already we are all but submerged with the duties it has brought to us.
Whatever we have attained, indi- vidually or collectively, during that semester, we are in duty bound to sui pass that attainment. Hence we take this opportunity of repeating the ob- servations upon our college life, made by certain of our professors in their addresses made at the Senior Banquet some time ago. One observed that
the student body is giving too much time to outside affairs to the detriment of the curriculum work. He did not decry the desirabilty of student enter- prise but desired that it be kept within more reasonable bounds A second, in somewhat the same strain, urged that intellectual and scholastic affairs be given, the first place in the college life. And a third desired a more uni- fied spirit among the students — "Stand together!" Curiously enough, per- haps, we have heard many similar ob- servations from the lips of the students themselves. Evidently then — for we have it from all sides — there is some real evil to be corrected. Here then is the opportunity for advancement. What shall we do with it?
[The following is an extract from a letter re- ceived by a member of the faculty fromC. A. Douglass, of the class of ex- 93, Teheran, Persia.]
I wish to assure you of my deep interest and satisfaction in Lake Forest's welfare.
Were the distance not so great I would certainly endeavor to send you some of the bright lads passing out of our schools here to seek an education abroad.
In this capital city of Persia our Presbyterian Church is carrying on an important and successful work. The Teheran Mission Hospital established through the generosity of Mrs. Ferry and others, of Lake Forest, is a wonderful power for good in breaking down prejudice and relieving the suf- fering.
Iran Bethel, our large girls' school, the only school for girls in all this great city and region, is a light house of beneficent influence in enlightening and uplifting the degraded, down- trodden womanhood of Persia.
The American Boys' School, of which the writer is at present princi- pal, has a corps of 16 teachers and 220

pupils, more than half Mohammedans, the rest Armenians, Jews and Zoroas- trians. There being scant religious liberty allowed by the dominant, intol- erant faith of Islam, the expediency and efficiency of the school and hospi- tal are intensified.
We are hoping great things from the new spirit of progress that has permeated to this very heart of Asia. A National Assembly has been established and a new Shah is about to take the throne. The people are beginning to awaken from the torpor of centuries to the advantages of modern civilazation. It is our prayer- ful hope that in finding the shell they may not miss the true kernel of civili- zation— the regenerating, energizing power of Christianity.
With pleasant wishes to you and to the College in all its interests, for a year of prosperity and steady advance- ment and achievement, I remain Sincerely yours,
C. A. Douglas.
VESPER SERVICE.
The Rev. Mr. Pfanstiehl, who is so soon to leave his pastorate at High- land Park, gave the address at Ves- pers last Sunday afternoon. The theme of his talk — "The Power of Ser- vice"— he took from the incident of Christ washing the disciples feet. * * The idea of bigness has in the Ameri- can mind overshadowed the idea of greatness. The disciples just missed being great in the eyes of their Lord by being unwilling to humble them- selves. The towel which Christ used was the mightiest scepter ever wielded. * * * In service alone lies true power, true happiness!
It was a very strong plea for the life of service.
SENIORS TOBOGGAN AT RAVINIA PARK.
The Senior Class, taking advan- tage of last week's snowfall, donned caps and sweaters on Wednesday even- ing, and hied them away to Ravinia Park, where they revelled for two hours in the joys of winter. Leaving Lake Forest shortly before seven o'clock they were the first to appear upon the scene of action and for an hour or more enjoyed the toboggan slide alone. They had, to be sure, their quota of up-sets, just enough to add zest to the sport, but fortunately none bad enough to result in any accidents. A few members of the class essayed to skate, but the ice was too poor long to lure them away from the toboggan slide.
At nine-thirty the class returned in its integrity to Lake Forest, and, after lunching at Monahan's, wended their way toward Lois Hall where they spent the remainder of the evening sitting about the fireplace and listen- ing, while one of their number sang. It was an occasion that will live in the memory of the Class of '07, along with the dearest memories of their life at Lake Forest.

Professor Foster, since go- ing to Bowdoin, has been a very effect- ive lieutenant to Dr. Hyde in the ad- ministrative work of that institution and speaks with experience and a maturity which is more common in veterans than in younger men. The large attendance, not only of the club, but of invited guests, heard his address with much satifaction and pleasure.

Hotchkin played in his usual style but his opponent was not aggressive and played that old game of waiting under the basket for the ball. Grier played the star game for St. Johns, making thirteen baskets.

The Inter-vSociety Debate
Athenaean Wii\s — The College Team Selected
The two literary societies, Ath- enaean and Zeta Epsilon, clashed swords in debate upon the immigration question, last Friday evening in Reid Memorial Chapel, with victory for Athenaean resulting. This annual contest, ever since its institution in 1.1900, has excited great inter- est; but, judging from the size of the audience, it would seem that the interest had fallen off this year. Although the odds were in favor of Athenaean, by reason of her having the more experienced team, the contest was nevertheless close.
The team that represented Zeta Epsilon consisted of Hartman, Wharton and Robineau; Athenaean was repre- sented by Schwartz, H. T. Kessler and Palmer. The proposition in its exact statement was: "Resolved, That laws further restricting immigration to the United States are inexpedient;" Zeta Epsilon supporting the affirmative and Athenaean, the negative.
Both teams showed consistent pre- paration and good organization ot material. The set speeches, on the whole, were well delivered, and in a few cases exceptionally well. The re- buttals were not so uniformly good. In these Palmer, Robineau and
Schwartz were strongest. These same men were selected to represent Lake Forest in the Illinois debate; and doubtless, through the merits, chiefly, of their rebuttal speeches. Palmer was unanimously given first place, thereby receiving the fifteen dollar de- bating prize. The decision as to sides was two for the negative, and one for the affirmative — this latter being awarded because of "superior summing up." The judges were: Professor Wm. A. Locy, of Northwestern University. Prof. C. D. Crawford, of Joliet High School, and Mr. Burrill of our own Department of Oratory, who took the place of Mr. Chas. E. Lauder of Chicago.
GLEE CLUB PROSPECTS.

Besides taking charge of the Club itself, Mr. Brewster has taken sev-- eral of the men as private student.

PROFESSOR JACK'S TENNYSONIANA SOLD.
The Nation of January 31, '07 has the following item in its "News for Bibliophiles":
"The Tennyson collection of Professor Albert E. Jack, of Lake Forest University, was sold on Mon- day by the Anderson Auction Com- pany of this city, (New York). An uncut copy of 'The Falcon' in the original blank buff paper covers, print- ed for copyright or for use of the Kendals, who acted it in December, 1879, brought $200; 'The Cup,' uncut, the third of Tennyson's privately printed plays, written for Henry Irving and Ellen Terry, who performed it on Christmas Day, 1880, $180; 'The Prom- ise of May' the rarest of Tennyson's privately printed plays, produced at the Globe Theater in London, in 1882, $180; 'The Sailor Boy,' printed for Tennyson's use by the Emily Faithfull Victoria Press, London, 1871, $100; 'Poems. By Two Brothers,' written by Alfred and Charles Tennyson, and the former's first publication, London, 1827, $65. The rage for Tennyson rarities is not so great as it was a few years ago, these figures being below those paid for the same works in the Morgan and Arnold sales."
NO CIGARETTES FOR UNIVERSITY MEN
Bill Introduced in State Legislature Would Impose Fine for Their Use.
University students who are still minors in the eyes of the law come in for special attention in the new anti- cigarette law which has just been in- troduced into the Illinois state senate at Springfield. The anti-cigarette bill is fathered by Senator Orville F. Berry and the provision which concerns University of Chicago men, along with all other college students of the state.
Every person under the age of iS years and any minor pupil in any school, college, academy or university who shall smoke or use cigarettes,. cigars or tobacco on any public road,, street, alley or park or other lands used for public purposes, or in any public place of business or amusement, shall be guilty of a misdemeaner and shall be punished for each offense by a fine of not more than ten dollars.
The bill further would impose a fine of $100 on any person selling cigarettes containing anything "deleterious to health, other than to- bacco," and a fine of $50 for the first offense of selling to a minor, and $100 for subsequent offenses, with an alter- native of thirty days in jail. — Maroon.

LaKe Forest Defeats Wheaton
Lake Forest College played the return game of basket ball with Wheat- on College on February ninth and won by the score of thirty-eight to thirty- five. Wheaton started with a rush and scored eight points before Lake Forest could locate the basket, but after that the men got together and by excellent team work overcame Wheaton's lead and ended the first half four points ahead.
The greater part of the scoring by both teams was done in the second half. Smith undoubtedly played the best game for Wheaton. He was fast on the floor and threw several difficult baskets. Mackenzie also did good work for the visitors, making a large part of their score from free throws The game was close au'd exciting and was certainly the best that Lake Forest has played this season under the A. A. U. rules.

Friday afternoon the women's team added another victory to their record by again defeating Deerfield Township High School.
The high school girls played a plucky game and made things interest- ing but were outclassed. The final score was 26 to 19 in favor of Lake Forest.
BasKet Ball Trip
The basket ball team started yes terday morning on a short trip through Illinois. Last night they played Mon- mouth College at Monmouth and to- night play Normal University at Nor- mal. Friday and Saturday they will play Eureka College and Peoria Y. M. C. A.
The team took practicallv the same trip last year and was not too successful, but we hope for better luck this time. We have never met Mon- mouth before in basket ball. Eureka was defeated last year and Peoria Y. M. C. A. won by a narrow margin. As the team has improved greatly since then the chances are good for four victories.
Right half back Beyer, has been elected captain of the Lawrence foot- ball team. This is the first time that a first year student has been captain of the football team at the Appleton In- stitution. Beyer is also captain of the track team.

Football Proves Less Dangerous
Eleven players were killed and 104 were injured in this country during the football season of 1906, according to the Chicago "Tribune". These figures are compared with the casualities of 1905, when eighteen players were killed and 159 were severely injured, and according to the Tribune, show that "debrutalized" football has accom- plished in a large degree the object aimed at. in rendering the game less dangerous to life and limb.
The decrease in casualities is es- pecially marked among high school players. In the season of 1905 eleven high school players were killed and twenty-five injured.
All college and high school games this year were played under the new rules drawn up after the close of last season to satisfy the agitation for less dangerous football.
This year not one fatality has oc- curred in the games played by the greater American colleges.

|The following communication has been re- ceived]
Dear Editor:
It was with no little surprise that the community of Lake Forest College read in the daily newspapers that the faculty of our College are not to de- rive any of the benefits of the Car- negie Pension Fund for aged professors. This is due to the fact that Lake For- estlCollcge is a so-called denominational institution. Its affiliation with the church is this: The charter of the College specifies that whenever a va- cancy on the Board of Trustees occurs the nominee for such vacancy must receive the sanction of the Presbyteri- an Synod of the State of Illinois be- fore s.uch person is eligible to perform the duties of a trustee of the College. In this respect only is Lake Forest College a denominational institution, and for this fact only, the professors of our College who devote their lives to the education of the youth must suffer the pangs of poverty in their old age.
It is very evident that men who devote the best years of their life to educational work are inadequately paid. Their occupation is such that they can never accumulate wealth enough to make themselves and their families comfortable in their old age when they are no longer able to per- form active work in their profession. If, therefore, the patrons of our college cannot endow it with a pension fund it would seem advisable even necessary to have that particular clause of the charter stricken out, and provide for the professors who have become aged while performing their faithful duties at Lake Forest College.

DAVID GRAHAM PHILLIPS CRITICIZES COLLEGES
"Colleges and universities should be re-organized so that the students should be able to earn, and should be compelled to earn their own living while they are there."
So says David Graham Phillips in a current eastern weekly. "What kind of education is it" says Phillips "that does not include instruction, practical instruction, in being self-supporting when self-support is the basis of self- respect?
"Under the right system of thorough democratic education, that would include every branch of the de- velopment of intellect and character and body, not only would all young people go to school all the year around but also everybody would want to go. Education would mean a pleasure, not a bore— as much a pleasure as to eat and breathe. For right education is not mere toilsome preparation for life but life itself. To learn means to live, to grow means to enjoy.
"There are less than two hundred thousand students in our colleges and universities; there should be six million. "Let us have done with college professors now bowing to the posessors of tainted wealth in order to get bene- factions. Let the people pay for their own education and safe-guard their self-respect and the self-respect of their teachers." — Cardinal.

"The wedding of Mr. Wm. Northrop Carter and Miss Margaret Mount was solemnized Saturday, February 2d, in St. John's Universalist Church, Joliet. As over seven hundred invitations were sent out, the church was well filled with spectators. The decorations were pink and white, the pulpit was a mass of palms, ferns and carnations, making a foxy place in which to have the knot tied. At seven thirty the bridal party arrived and to the tune of Wagner's wedding march proceeded to the altar, where the brief ceremony
was performed. Mrs. P. D. Sextor. was matron of honor, and Mr. N. P. Red Yeomans as best man helped the groom keep up his nerve.
"After the ceremony the bride and groom received congratulations from their friends at the bride's home on 3d avenue1 The wedding supper was served about nine o'clock, and shortly thereafter amid showers of rice (don't that sound like F "ie) the happy pair departed for a soutin.;n trip.

LAKE FOREST ALUMNI MEET IN NEW YORK
We have the following clipping from the New York. Sun, of Feb. 16th, touching the meeting of the New York- Lake Forest Alumni Association held in that city last Friday evening. A full account of the meeting will appear in the next week's issue.
"A number of the New York sons and daughters of Lake Forest College sang of 'training brain and raising Cain and finding life sublime,' in their col- lege days, at the fourth annual dinner held last night at the Hotel Astor.
"Theodore Starrett, '84, president of the New York Graduates' Associa- tion, acted as toastmaster. Dr. John J.
the Grand March takes place promptly at seven by the clock, under the leader- ship of Mr. J. H. McCrea and Miss Minnie Hendy. The unexpected is scheduled to happen during the George Washington extra. At least sixty couples art expected to attend* a goodly number of whom are to be Alumni. Acting President Halsey and wife, Mr. William Mather Lewis and wife, Miss Hughes, Miss Denise and Mr. Paul So aimers, president of the Junior Class, will receive.
No pains have been spared to make this the most enjoyable affair of the year.
Halsey, acting president of the institu- tion, came all the way from Illinois • to report that 'the best lot of students Lake Forest ever had is now hard at work.' Dr. Halsey said that in the West there is a reaction in favor of the small college. He reported four new buildings at Lake Forest, being con- structed or about to be. One is a chemistry laboratory, the gift of An- drew Carnegie. His ideal for the col- lege, he said, was a roll of students 250 in number, with 30 per cent, women, without whom he has no use for the in- stitution. Mrs. L. W. Bates, a member of the class of '80, the first class gradu- ated, told of the college in her time."

LAKE FOREST PROMINENT
ALUMNUS BECOMING AS A COMPOSER
In a recent issue we noted the fact that W. H. Humiston, '91, is theauthor of a recent musical composition of importance, which was produced for the first time in New York on Febru- ary 1st, by the People's Symphony Orchestra, under Mr. Aren's, conduct- ing. The new composition has been very favorably noticed, not only in the New York newspapers, but in the musical press, and we hope that before long the opportunity will be given to hear it in Chicago. We print below a criticism of Mr. Humiston's work from the New York Evening Post, of Satur- day, February 2nd, and extend to Mr. Humiston cordial congratulations that he should have done such honor to himself and to Lake Forest.
" The 'Southern Fantasy' proved to be a composition in the vein of Dvorak's 'New World'Symphony, inas- much as it harkens back to plantation song, particularly as exemplified by the great American folk-song writer, Stephen Foster. There are only two short themes borrowed from these sources, however — one of five notes with a strong syncopation, and another consisting of the first bar only of the prelude to Foster's 'Angelina Baker,' with the first note changed. This is used thematically. The principal theme, however, is original, and is even superior to the borrowed material. It is a slow, broad melody, sung first by the English horn and afterwards taken up by the strings. The com- poser intended it to express longing — not the yearning of the slave for free- dom, but the longing of the thoughtful young American who looks into the future with a vague desire to serve his country. The composition rises to an impressive climax, representing the
'irrepressible confict' and also the strenuous side of American life.
Mr. Humiston is a native of Ohio. He studied with Clarence Eddy and Edward MacDowell, and he is an excellent organist. This first.-work;of ' his proves that he has made good use his opportunities: It shows a thorough command of the technic of composition; his form is clear and logical, his coun- terpoint fluent and significant; his orchestration beautiful and appropri- ate, the melody spontaneous, and har- monization interesting and agreeably free from cacophony. In a word, the 'Southern Fantasy' is the work of a young man who has evidently a bright career before him. The audience thought so most decidedly, for it called him out four times. Carnegie Hall was crowded.

MOFFAT, MISSIONARY TO KOREA, SPEAKS AT VESPER SERVICE
The Rev. Dr. Moffat, who has been for seventeen years missionary to Korea, addressed the students at Vespers Sunday afternoon upon the work to which he has given his life.
The yellow race is greatly under estimated, according to the speaker. They are not a stupid people, but they are our equals in mental capacity and discipline. They are merely unin- formed. Here is the greatest field for Christian Missions.
The Missions are getting a great hold upon the people of Korea. Many of the most capable men, men of the scholar class, men of the ruling class, are doing everything in their power for the advancement of the cause of Christ in their country.

BASKETBALL TRIP A SUCCESS.
Lake Forest — 37
Eureka College — 36
Team Loses But One Gam*.
The trip taken by the basketball team last week was a decided success.
Lake Forest won the first three of the four games played and with the team crippled by the loss of Russell Scott at center and injuries to the other men, lost a well played game to the Peoria Y. M. C. A. team which claims the championship of Central Illinois.
Judging from all reports the men played well at all times and left good (impressions where they went.

The following clippings were taken from papers published in the towns the team visited:
Normal, Illinois — "The game was the fastest that has been played on the local floor for years. The team work of the visiting team was a feature of the game and although Normal worked hard and consistently they were un- able to cope with their adversaries."
From Peoria — "Eureka has one of the best teams in this part of the state and to defeat them on their home grounds is a little more than the average team expects to do."

"Lake Eorest, reputed to be the best college basket ball team in the west, should furnish one of the best basket ball ^ames of the season. The Lake Forest aggregation still has on its line-up the two Scotts, who are famous in College athletic circles." Team Disbands
Because of the loss of Russell Scott at center and as Mather, Callahan and captain Louis Scott will be unable to play for some time because of in- juries received while on the trip, Coach Bradstreet has decided to dis- band the basket ball team.
The games with Northwestern College and Lewis Institute will be cancelled.
Successful Season Ended
The basket season just ended has been the most successful one in the history of the college. But two games have been lost and one of these to a crack V. M. C. A. team.
It is unfortunate that the team must disband at this time, as there are but two games remaining on the schedule and should these games have been played and won, Lake Forest would have had a just claim to the championship of the smaller colleges of the state.
However under the present condi- tions it would be impossible to put a representative team on the floor.

The Academy basketball team received a setback at the hands of St. John's Military Academy last Saturday in a well-fought game With the ex- ception of one man's "dirty" work the game was clean and fast. St. John's supremacy lay in their ability to shoot goals from the field, at which art one of their men, Young, was a star, having ten goals to his credit. The Academy was deficient in this particular as they are suffering from the temporary in- jury of Taylor, their star forward. McCoy and Hotchkin played the best games for the Academy. Frost's work was excellent considering his inex- perience while Smith was handicapped by injuries.

Class of 'OS Reaps Social Triumph
The class of 1908 has been accred- ited with innumerable achievements, during the two and a half years of its life. They have undisputably demon- strated their remarkable ability as "prom"-oters. Last Friday they under- took to elbow Father George out of the calcium glare upon his legal birthday, and they succeeded. If it had not been for the favors and the programs, the Father of His Country would not have been thought of at all on the 22d, at least not among the student body of L. F. C
The 1908 Prom, was, according to the opinion of all who were there, the the best yet. It was an unparalleled success-socially. And financially? Ask Joe Mc. The prom committee are to be commended upon the aesthetic taste that they displayed in decorating the Art Institute. Never since it has stood has the inside looked so pretty. The large hall was decorated everywhere with the colors of the class — purple and white. These colors were strung in al- ternating triangular penants from the walls to the center of the ceiling, mak- ing a canopy overhead. The stage was hidden by two rows of large palms. Here and there were evergreens, ferns and sprigs of spring verdure that lent an atmosphere of a "Fruhlingsfest" to the occasion. The reception hall was un- recognizable. In the center there was
a grove of palms beneath and about which were rustic benches, which worked wonders in dispelling fatigue from the strenuous promenaders when- ever they sat down there between the dances. The steps leading to the gal- lery were one mass of pillows, and they also assisted the benches in providing the revellers with excellent places for delightful tete-a-tetes.
At intervals of eight feet or so.over doors, on posts and in corners the let- ters of the-alphabet were tacked. These were the means of a great innovation in the directing of the prom, and helped matters wonderfully well in finding one's next partner. As soon as the music commenced for the next number on the programme, the young ladies would be escorted beneath that letter which formed the initial of their last name. Here the cavalier would find his partner for the next dance coyly awaiting his approach, without his usual running about in trying to locate her.
Mr. Joe McCrea and Miss Minnie Hendy led the grand march and about seventy-five other gorgeously attired couples followed in their wake as they performed serpentine gyrations about the floor to the impressive Wagnerian march music of ■ Hand's orchestra. There were twenty-four numbers on the program (which by the way was a

beaut:ful one of eight pages with a white leather cover and with purple braid trimmings.)
On the second extra — the George Washington extra — the ladies received beautiful favors — little George Wash- ington's Cherry Tree hatchets out of which could be pulled fan-shaped American flags.
This prom though formal and thoroughly "prom"-ish was remarkable for the exceptional democratic spirit that seem to exist everywhere. We seemed to know one another and im- pressed the visitors that at Lake For- est we are one great family and that the prom is our annual reunion.
The company did not cease their revelry until midnight and on leaving everyone felt a sort of satisfaction of having spent an evening of thorough enjoyment and that the class of 1908 had scored a great social triumph.
THE ORATORICAL CONTEST,
The Oratorical Contest for the se- lection of an orator to represent us in the Northern Illinois Oratorical League Contest this spring, was held in the Chapel at three o'clock on Wednesday. February 20th. Only three men out ■of at least three times that number whose orations had been accepted, took part in the contest. O. E. Thompson spoke on "Good Citizenship," Keithley on "Labor and Education," and Mun- ger on "The Disadvantage of Riches," Munger winning first place, and conse" •quently being awarded the fifteen-dol- lar Oratorical Prize, and being chosen as the orator to represent Lake Forest in the league contest.

THE NEW YORK-LAKE FOREST ALUMNI BANQUET.
The Alumni Dinner at the New Astor Hotel in New York City, on the night of February 15th, was a most successful and enthusiastic affair. The usual number of the alumni gathered in to talk about the old days and to hear about present conditions at Lake Forest. The present day at Lake For- est was presented in short addresses by Acting President Halsey for the Col- lege, Headmaster William M. Lewis for the Academy, and Mr. Robert H. Crozier, in the absence of any special representative, for Ferry Hall.
The encouraging conditions at Lake Forest, due to the loyalty and work of the student body and to the prospect of the speedy realization of the new buildings on the campus hav- ing been disposed of, various members of the alumni circle were called upon to speak, and, reminiscing of old times, spoke of their present interest in the institution which they love- Mrs. Lindon M. Rates, of the class of '80, spoke a few words in a most beau- tiful manner with reference to the con- nection between the past and the present. She was followed by Dr. Franklin C. Wells, class of '80 of the Academy, of New York City; the Rev. William T. Elsing, class of '75 of the Academy, of New York City; President Calvin H. French, of Huron College, South Dakota, class of '88 of the Col- lege; William B. Brewster, class of '92, and William C. Eakins, class of '93.
One of the interesting features of the speaking was a word from a recent graduate of Williams College, who most happily brought out the strong points of the small college. This was largely the theme of the evening and the conviction on the part of all those who were anything to Lake Forest

College that the small college has its abiding place in the work of education, was made very manifest throughout the evening.
The alumni of New York send greet- ings to the Faculty and students of Lake Forest College, expressing their love for the institution, and their faith in its future.
Mr. Theodore Starrett, of the class of '84, was a most snccessful toast- master, and Mr. Charles G. Smith, who has been heart and soul of the New York Association, was present but could not be induced to speak. He speaks in deeds.
CHICAGO ALUMNI CLUB TO HOLD BANQUET.
The Chicago Club of the Lake Forest Alumni will give its annual banquet on Saturday evening, March 2, in the rooms of the Grand Pacific Hotel. Besides the alumni, members of the Board of Trustees, of the Faculty, and the men of the Senior Class will be present. The Glee Club Double Quartet is to furnish part of the music. Preparations have been made to render this the best affair of its kind for some years.
RELIGIOUS MEETINGS.
The religious meetings of the week conducted by Dr. Boyle and Dr. Shaw have been well worth while. They have not been pervaded by the ordi- nary emotional atmosphere and should consequently have some lasting effects. Dr. Boyle addressed the students at chapel on Tuesday; Dr. Shaw on Wednesday; Dr. Shaw will also ad- dress the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. meet- ings tonight. Some of the students have been assisting in the singing at the other meetings.
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY SERVICE.
The annual Washington's Birthday Service was held in Reid Memorial Chapel at ten o'clock Friday morning. Very much to the chagrin and disap- pointment of Professor Halsey, who had taken great pains to advertise the service among the students and towns- people, the speaker of the morning, Jenkin Lloyd Jones, failed to appear. Mr. Jones had been scheduled to speak somewhere in Michigan on the day previous and he missed connections in returning. Professor Halsey, however,. in order not to dismiss tne audience without some commemoration of the day and very acceptably to the audi- ence, read Lowell's great ode, "Under the Old Elm." The double quartette led the singing.
We hope we may yet have the privelege of hearing Mr. Jones.
Y. M. C. A
One of the best meetings of the year was that of last Thursday even- ing. Mr. Hardy conducted the meet- ing, speaking on the subject of "Selfish- ness," a subject which cannot be too often repeated. When Abraham and Lot divived their common substance, Lot 'chose selfishly, Abraham unsel- fishly. It is this same sin that consti- tutes one of the great evils of college life today. The college student is con- stantly tempted to selfishness and far too often he does not resist that temptation.

BOARD OF CONTROL MEETING
BasKethall Monograms Awarded
At a meeting of the board of control held on February the nineteenth bas- ketball monograms were awarded to Louis Scott, '09; Callahan, '08; Russell Scott, '09; Mather, '10, and Stoltz, '10. With the exception of the last game, in which Russell Scott was unable to play, these five men played through every game during the season. The ■only substitution was made in this last game when Mather went to center and Keck took his place at forward.
More Candidates Needed for Baseball.
Now that the basketball season 'has closed indoor practice for baseball and track is being pushed. We have an excellent baseball coach who will be here until the middle of March, but not enough men are taking advantage of this opportunity to learn the game thoroughly and even the old men are not coming out regularly for practice.
Anyone that has followed baseball here can easily remember some game that Lake Forest has lost through a slight error in play, and some of these have been made by our best men. In order to eliminate as nearly as possi- ble these inexcusable mistakes it is oiecessary for every candidate to attend practice regularly.
The time for baseball practice
which has been from one to three every afternoon was changed to from three to five o'clock on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Gymnasium classes will be from five until six and because of the short time allowed Mr. Rradstreet wishes the men to be ready to go on the floor promptly at five o'clock.
Mr. Faulkinburg knows the game from beginning to end and moreover he can teach it, so that if Lake Forest does not turn out a championship team this spring it should be because of the lack of material and not because the players have failed to take advantage of the coaching offered.
THE LAKE FOREST-NORMAL GAME

It was the fastest game that has been played on the University floor in recent years. The game last year with Wheaton was considered a very good game, but it cannot be compared with the one played last week with Lake Forest.

New Buildings Practically Secured!
The students and friends of the college have long been in suspense over the question of an endowment fund. Are the conditions upon which ■depend the erection of three more new buildings to be fulfilled?
It was hinted in last week's brief account of the New York Alumni Din- ner that those conditions were near- ing realization. This week we have been assured that those conditions are being met, and that the second Black- stone Hall, the Durand Commons, and the Carnegie Science Hall are practi- cally ours.

Last week Lake Forest held a con- test for the selection of a man t<» represent her in the contest of the Northern Illinois Oratorical League, of which Lake Forest is a member. Out of considerably over a hundred men, only three took part in that con- test. There were, to be sure, some eight or ten orations submitted, all of which were given a place in the con- test. But the fact remains that only three men saw fit hoth to submit and deliver their orations.
Such a condition of affairs in this, a so-called, literary college, can scarcely be too severely criticised. Lake Forest has not as yet won a single first place in the Northern Illi- nois League Contests. Indeed how can she expect to, if the interest in oratory is so low as it would seem. We who, for selfish reasons, stayed out of the contest, ought to be heartily ashamed of ourselves. A literary col- lege!— and three entries in an oratori- cal contest — ! ! !
On another page of this issue ap- pears a clipping from the Vedette, the organ of the Northern Illinois State Normal, and in it is a testimanial to the character of our team that means more than the mere victory won. Proud as we are of the winning ability of our basket ball team, we are prouder yet of its conduct away from home. It is just another exhibition of that which is finest in our College spirit: fairness, good sportsmanship, and gentlemanli- ness. That spirit has won, and will win, for us more real friends than the ability to win games can do.

JUDSON ELECTED PRESIDENT OF CHICA- GO UNIVERSITY.
Acting President Harry Pratt Jud- son of the University of Chicago was elected President by the trustees of that institution Wednesday, Febru- ary 20th. He had served as acting president ever since the death of Presi- dent Harper, and filled the position so adequately that the trustees, after thor- oughly canvassing the field, did not give any other candidate serious con- sideration.
The election of Dr Judson has the complete approval of John D. Rocke- feller, the founder of the university. Although there had been no warning of the election in university circles, its result was not unexpected. It has been believed for some time that Dr. Judson, who took the burden of ad- ministrative work oft" President Har- per's shoulders during the year of his last illness, and who has since directed all the university's affairs, would be the man.
When interviewed by the press he declined to make any lengthy state- ment, merely saying:
"I deeply appreciate the high honor which has been given me, and shall do my best to be worthy of it. Th~ ap- pointment means more to me, however, than a mere honor — it means an oppor- tunity to do some valuable work, and I shall try to realize it to the fullest."
WESTERN AND EASTERN COLLEGE JOURNALISM.
The following cutting from the Chicago Evening Post of Feb. 21., has an added significance in view of our own "Prom." of last week: —
"It was a painful duty recently to print in this department the mawkish bit of high-flown sentimentalism which the Yale News perpetrated as an edi- torial upon the junior prom. The Harvard Lampoon does the same thing breathing a fervid thanks that even the Harvard Crimson has never descended to such depths. By way of contrast to the New Haven effort it is interesting to record the prom, editorial of the Wisconsin Sphinx:
"The Sphinx looks with a motherly smile on Archibald and Chisie as they blossom out of the hack and plunge in- to the gym jam on the night of Feb. 15, with Archibald treading pigeon- toed on the emperean in ecstacy, so to speak, and Chrisie shyly fluffing out her coiffure which is mussed on one side.
"Then Chrisie vanishes a minute to- peel her silk-lined chrysalis: and she presently flutters out into the Real Thing, biffing a last recalcitrant hairpin into place. And, as she holds a glad little individual reunion with Archibald previous to gliding out onto the illimit- able glassy rink (which has been lov- ingly waxed by Pete Rehm with his own fair hands), the Sphinx gives them an old-wife's blessing, "Gesundheit,. kidoes."
"Good eye, Archibald. It is up to- you to give her a one-best glorious time, for she'll only be here a little while, and she's going to live on the memory of it for many weary moons, back in New Athens, Wis. So, go some, Archie. Moreover! A tight-

Favors in the form of flags and flowers were distrib- uted and the "Maggie extra" called for excercise of jaw rather than foot. Pea- nuts fresh from Mt.

Alumni Banquet
Chicago-Lake Forest A.ltimni
Dinner
is Rousing
The fourteenth annual banquet of the Chicago-Lake Poorest Alumni Club took place in one of the dining halls of the Grand Pacific Hotel last Saturday evening, March 2d. Beside the alumni there were present as guests, Acting President Halsey, Mr. L. F. Swift, Mr- F. W. Crosby member of the Board of Trustees, members of the faculty, and of the Senior Class, and the Double Quartet — a company of sixty in all.
After a bounteous dinner, its courses interluded with bursts of song from the Double Oua/tet, the follow- ing toasts were answered, and songs sung:
Toasfmaster
Clifford H, Williams, 'o:
"Up and down, up and down. I will lead them up and down."
Song, Campus Melodies - College Octette' "Thou hast no sorrow in thy song No winter in thy year."
Lake Forest's Sons - John H. S. Lee, '95 "Look to thy purse and cloak, a lawyer's near"

"What is yours is mine, And all mine is yours"
Song, To the Sons of Lake Forest
College Octette "Strong are her sons, though rocky are her shores'

Song, "Hail ! Lake Forest ! - College Octette

Small Colleges, Good and Bad
Professor J. M. Clapp
"Let school-taught pride dissemble all it can, These little things are great to little man"
Alma Mater
Omnes
"The love and friends of Alma Mater. Our richest treasure shall remain"
The speeches of the evening were those of Acting President Halsey and IJrofessor Clapp. The immediate out- look for Lake Forest, according to Dr. Halsey, is very bright. We have lost from the faculty two noble men, in the persons of Professors Dawson and Xeedham, but we are confident in the ability of the men who are to fill their places. * * * The students are contented and loyal, and the faculty is better united than it has been for many years. A good ball team, and an excellent glee club are in sight. * * We are developing materially, we hare secured the buildings that have been promised, and we have just got into touch with the Secretary of the General Board of I^ducation, who has a large sum to distribute among the col- leges of the country. * * * There has been a real religious quickening among the students, as a result of the meetings held by Dr. Shaw and Dr. Boyle. * * * We want and we ex- pect to get a new head for the institu- tion— old enough and experienced: enough to take the work upon his shoulders, and young enough to stay for twenty years.
Professor Clapp treated an old subject in a new way. As for the small college, "its excuse for being,"' rests upon a business principle. No university can give the ground work

that the small college does. But the bad small college, and there are many of them in the West, is the curse of the land. A small college that it may have the right of existence, must be of the highest quality: it must have good teachers, good equipment and good raw material. * * The
late President Harper of Chicago Uni- versity started with modest plans. He was told that if he would get the aid of Chicago business men he must make it the best in the land. He acted on the suggestion and we have the present university. Draper, formerly of the University of Illinois, once asked the state legislature for a modest sum. Governor Altgeld told him to make it five times as large — the growth of these two universities within the past ten years is the wonder of the nation. — We must make Lake Eorest the com- plement of these institution. We must make it not a good, but the best, small college in the West. * *

The Wisconsin sphinx alludes to the first-year girl as a "freshmaness." This is certainly better than "fresh- woman." Furthermore, it avoids the use of the hated generic title "coed."
FRIEND OF COLLEGE PASSES AWAY.
Mrs. Henry C. Durand died at the Chicago home of her daughter, Mrs. Franklin P. Smith, Friday, the first of March, on the anniversary of her hus- band's birth. Mrs. Durand had been a sufferer for a number of years, yet her departure from this life, when it came, was somewhat unexpected. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Durand were so thoroughly identified for so many years with our educational institutions in Lake Forest that many persons who never met them have felt a personal interest in them.
Mr. and Mrs. Durand came to Chi- cago many years ago, when Mr. Durand, as a young man, came west to carve out his fortunes, and more than thirty years ago they made their home in Lake Forest in their beautiful place just to the eastward of the Art Institute campus. That campus is especially the Durand Campus, for all its buildings were given by Mr. and Mrs. Durand, and bear the Durand name. Especi- ally dear to Mrs. Durand was the Alice Home, which has been such a benefi- cent and helpful place for this commu- nity, and her thought and interest centered in it to the last, whilst her helpful sympathy led her to devise plans to make it more attractive. She was always, naturally, interested in the Academy, where the home of the pres- ent Master; the Annie C. Durand Cot- tage, is a special memorial to her. As long as our buildings stand the memory of Mr. Durand and of the true-hearted woman who entered into his benefac- tions with sympathy and devotion, will abide in the hearts of students and friends of this institution.
As the day gathered to a close Sunday, Mrs. Durand was borne to her last earthly resting place in the little God's Acre on the northeru edge of

"The New LaKe Forest."
For several years we have fre- quently heard the expressions "The New Lake Forest," and "Lake For- est, ' The Leading Small College of the Middle West.' " They were favorite expressions of our last President, and the ideas which they represent, have been dear to all those who have been deeply interested in the future of Lake Forest College.
To these phrases, an added signifi- cance, and to these ideas a new life was given, by the spirit of certain toasts given at the Alumni Banquet of ]ast week. Two of the great institu-
tions of learning in this state, each un- excelled, scarcely equaled in its own sphere, in all the land, are great be- cause there were some who had the "nerve" to try t© make them first in rank.
Lake Forest has secured four new buildings; she has easily the best loca tion, and the finest campus of anv col- lege or university in the state; she has an excellent faculty, a good student body, and loyal aiumni. By virtue of all these, Lake Forest should be, not one of the best, but the very best small college in the West! And when we secure a new president, we want a man who, with all the powers of faith which he possesses, believes in such a future for Lake Forest College!
Was It Worth While?
From the observations we have made and the experiences through which we have passed during our short life, we have come to look askance at that which ordinarily goes by the name of "revival." Butduringthe past week the college community has experienced a something that does honor to the name "revival". Dr. Boyle brought to us Dr. Balcom Shaw, one of the great good men of the country, and his sim- ple, direct and earnest pleas for the right life have told. Was it worth while? We believe it was well worth while. Time alone can prove it.
DR. HARLAN SENDS LETTER OF THANKS
We are in receipt of the following
letter from Dr. Harlan respecting the
loving cup given him by the students:
Washington, D. C,
Washington's Birthday, 1907.
To the Students of Lake Forest
College. My dear Friends:
A few days ago — shortly after my return from the final work of remov-
THE STENTOR
216
ing my goods and chattels from Lake Forest — your Loving Cup arrived.
It is beautiful in and for itself, and is a model of the silversmith's art. But to me, knowing as I do the friend- liness of youthful hearts which prompted such a tribute, the Cup is radiant with a beauty that does not meet the eye. The message it brought took an "air line" to my heart, all the more direct because it came straight from that portion of the College which has always been nearest to my own heart. I mean the students.
My good friends in the Faculty, who so loyally co-operated with me in the efforts to bring Lake Forest still nearer to her rightful position of leadership among the colleges of her tppe in the Middle West, know full well the strong, affectionate and abid- ing esteem in which I hold them. But from their own experience as teachers, they also have a sympathetic under- standing of my meaning when I speak of the altogether dffterent affection I have always had, and shall always cherish, for the "boys and girls" who made up its student-body.
I love every foot of that beautiful oak-covered Campus on the far-away shore of Lake Michigan; and those College buildings — including the four new ones that are to go up during the next twelve months, and of which I have dreamed so long and so vividly, and whose pictures are so indelibly imprinted upon my mind's eye, that they are as real to me as if they were now in actual use — are also very dear to me.
And yet my feeling for the Cam- pus and all those buildings grows out of the fact that they are (or or are to be) your home and the places where you are more and more to be led into the vast Kingdom of Truth. For although,
in an important sense, the Faculty of a college may be said to make that college, such a statement is never true of its grounds and buildings. In the last analysis, the young life, filling the buildings and making the Campus truly alive, is what constitutes the real- college.
The students — as the living expo- nents and trustees of its best traditions, as the embodiment, from one college generation to another, of its highest ideals, its noblest purposes and its splendid enthusiasms— make the College;, indeed, in a deep, vital, human sense, the students are the College.
For that reason, as I read the gracious tribute paid to me in the in- scription placed upon your beautiful gift, I will confess to you that when I came to the more personal, closing message from you, my eyes were so- blurred that for a few moments I could not see the words.
Among my most beloved "house- hold gods" this Loving Cup from my "boys and girls" of Lake Forest will, I think, always hold the chiefest place.
As I look at it in after years, I hope that I shall always find it brim- ming with those same kind remem- brances of me with which you filled the Cup when you sent it. I know that it will always be full of my own affection- ate good"wishes for you throughout all the days of your life.
Though the tie. which once united me officially to the College is severed,, the bond of personal and affectionate interest in its students will never be broken; and I hope that in the years to come, here and there in this broad land, I may once in a while have the pleasure of seeing some of you, and of knowing that you are all worthily bear- ing your part in this wonderful century

Dr. Harlan's Letter
(Continued from page 216)
of opportunity for service to God and your fellow-men.
If I have helped to lead the Col- lege a few stages nearer to itt. Promised Land, and if I have been of service in equipping you personally to be worthy- representatives of Lake Forest in this great Republic of ours, then I thank- God for the five years I spent as your leader.
Your Loving Cup came full of your own kindly remembrances of me -and I shall keep it full of equally affec- tionate thoughts of you. But let us all, both you and I, now fill that cup with good wishes for the College itself, and drink this toast together with all our hearts:
Lake Forest College!
Esto Perpetual
Vivat! Crescat! Floreat!
Thank God that gradually, through the work of various administrations, the College has won its way "out of the region of experiment and past the point of danger;" and that all the wearers of the Red and Black now know of a surety, not merely that Lake Forest will live forever, but that the day of her larger growth and blossom- ing is not far off".
May He Who must ever be "The Master of all our Schools" hasten that day, and bring to the Academy, Ferry Hall and the College all that has been dreamed of and hoped for by the men and women who, since Lake Forest's charter was granted half a century ago, have tried faithfully to build their lives into that institution.
Faithfully, your friend,
Richard D. Harlan.
SOME GOOD PROVERBS
Sherburn M. Becker, the Mayor of Milwaukee, writing on "The Young Man in Politics," which appears in the last number of "The World Today," lays down some good principles which any young man might profit by heed- ing whether he intends to enter the world of politics or not. He said in part:
"Young man make up your mind to be honest ?nd fair both in business and in politics.
"Work nine-tenths of the time and when occasion demands work the other tenth.
"Work is the best thing for every young man; idleness is the greatest evil and breeds dishonesty and cor- ruption.
"Do not under any circumstances allow prejudice to swerve y^u from your best judgment.
"Have a platform short and pointed.
"Be sure it is right and stand upon it to the end.
"Do not readily take sides in con- troversies.
"Think fast and try to be quick in your responses in emergencies.
"Do something all the time, but in your ambition to do something, don't do things that count for naught.
"Finish your work as you go along.
"Never know or recognize the
word fail. You will fail and fail badly
but "pass it up" as quickly as you can."
— The Wabash.
Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. — Cicero.

The Honeymoon by John Tobin and the Senior Class of Ferry Hall. "An hour by the dial," Friday, March 15, 8 o'clock.
The Honeymoon, an English co- medy chosen for the Senior play this year preserves all the spirit without a particle of the grossness of Beaumont and Fletcher's ''Rule a Wife and Have a Wife" and Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew." Yet Tobin was less in- debted to these plays for his hints than the dramatists named were to their predecessors. John died without knowing he had written one of the most brilliant comedies in the English language, as the play was not staged until 1805, a year after the author's death. Then it met with unparalleled sucoess. Many noted actresses have taken the part of Juliana in this coun- try, among them Mrs. Mowatt, an American, who made her debut in 1845 in Park Theater, New York.

On Monday morning stakes were set which will mark the foundations of the second Blackstone Hall. Work on it is to begin immediately. The first hall is rapidly nearing completion, the outside being nearly done already.
At chapel on Monday, Acting President Halsey announced that the Science Hall would be started in a few days. He also stated that in all proba- bility the four new buildings — two Blackstone Halls, Carnegie Science Hall, and the Durand Commons — will be ready for use next fall.

DEATH OF DOWIE.
[The following- article was given us by our Liiterary Editor, who writes from an intimate know- ledge of the subject.— Editor's Note.]
The death of John Alexander Dowie brings to a close one of the most spec- tacular careers of the century. That he was a great organizer and that his organizing genius was combined with a wonderfully magnetic personality, all who came in contact with him must readily admit. The city that he first dreamed of, then planned, built and populated, today stands as a monument to his greatness as a leader, and a tan- gible proof of his ability as an organ- izer. The church which he founded, though in a somewhat (precarious con- dition today, still maintains the tenets which he taught and has never repudi- ated one of the many peculiar doctrines which he originated.
In private life, this man who railed and scoffed at his enemies from the pulpit, was one of the most urbane and affable gentlemen one could wish to meet. None knew better than he how to entertain and impress a visitor or interviewer. He was a princely host, fond of displaying his wealth and power, and knew full well how to ac- complish his ends by these means.
The great question asked by many is: Was he sincere? Was he self- deceived? Perhaps. This is the most charitable answer that can be given. That he has been insane for the last eighteen months is the assertion made by his wife and son. Several years ago the assertion was made that he was suffering from paranoia and was even then on the moonlit borders of insan-
ity. Subsequent events seem to prove this statement to have been true.
The funeral arrangements as an- nounced last Sunday were that the body would lie in state at his residence, Shiloh House, Zion City, from one to three on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and Thursday morning from ten to twelve. The memorial service is to be conducted today by Judge V. V. Barnes, his personal counsel and ad- visor, during the afternoon at the Tab- ernacle, followed by burial in Lake Mound Cemetery, where his daughter Esther was buried.
OCTETTE SINGS AT ENGLEWOOD.
An octette consisting of Barrett and Wilson, first tenor; Carlson and Munger, second tenor; Marquis and Milner, first bass; Stone and Talcott. second bass, sang last Tuesday night at a reception given by the Lincoln Council of the Royal League of Engle- wood. The program as rendered was as follows:
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup Octette
Reading Munger
Pickininny Lullaby Octette
Reading Munger
Compus Medley. ' Octette
If we may judge by the number of encores demanded, the octette made an impression which augurs well for the success of the Glee Club this spring. The readings of Munger were especi- ally well received — his supply of encores were well nigh exhausted.
A good deal of excitement has been aroused at Lake Forest over the discovery of the fact that a Sophomore in that institution has been guilty of stealing various articles from the stu- dents' rooms. The total value of the articles amounts to a considerable sum- — The Knox Student.

BASEBALL.
Outdoor Practice Begins.
The baseball squad was out on the practice field for the first time this year on Monday afternoon, and twenty-three candidates reported for practice, which consisted chiefly of batting and out- field work. The men are showing un- usually good [form for this time of the year, and Captain Milner was pleased with their work.
The diamond will be in good con- dition by the latter part of spring vaca- tion so that practice can be held on it after the Glee Club trip.
TRACK.
Squad at WorK.
Mr. Bradstreet has taken charge of the track squad, and systematic work is now being done to get the men into condition for the meets this spring. The distance men have been taking short cross-country runs, and the weight men have also been able to get a little outdoor practice, while practice for the jumps and pole vault is still confined to the Gymnasium. Among those on the squad are several prep, school stars, and the chances are good for a winning team.
Those who have reported so far are: For the dashes — Marquis, Boys, Milner, and Westervelt. For the mid-
dle distances — Shroyer, Sanders, Tal- cott, and Schmidt. Long distances — Dawson, Heller, Sturdevant, and Bush, Jumps — Scott, Marquis, Boys, Heller, and Bush. Hurdles— Scott, Shroyer, Munger, Berkheiser, and Ralston. The weight events will be taken care of by Gibbs, Callahan, Jones, Igou, and Ma- ther.
Mr. Crawford, of the Academy- has kindly consented to assist in train- ing the runners and with this and the conscientious work that Mr. Bradstreet always puts upon any team in his charge some good results are to be expected.
BLUE GOOSE ORGANIZED AT LAST.
Captain and Manager Elected for Baseball — Good Schedules To Be Arranged.
A permanent "Blue Goose" Ath- letic Association has at last been or- ganized, the object of which is to organize "scrub" teams in every line of sport undertaken in the College. Regular schedules will be arranged for these teams, monograms will be awarded, and in this way a man that has worked hard but failed to make the first team will have something to pay him for his trouble. The first step taken by the organization was to elect Sam Stoltz captain and Stone manager of the baseball team. The Blue Goose

The New Student Movement
The new buildings are ours ! — two dormitories, a Science Hall and a Com- mons. Nay more, they are to be ready for actual use by next Fall ! ! We are deeply grateful to those friends of the College, and to the authorities who have aided Lake Forest in this step toward her self-realization. It now remains for us, the sons and daughters of Lake Forest to show our gratitude for these gifts, and our loyalty to our Alma Mater, by doing what within us lies, for her advancement.
We have the buildings — we must have the students to make use of those
buildings. The 'New Student Cam- paign" has for some years been carried on wisely and well. That movement has proved conclusively that the en- largement of our enrollment, consistent with the quality of student which we desire, must depend, ultimately, upon the efforts of the Alumni, and the stu- dent body. From the attitude and the spirit of the Alumni, our elder brothers, as it was sensed at the re- cent Banquet of the Chicago-Lake Forest Club, we know that the Alumni believe in, and are working for Lake Forest College.
Hitherto the student body has met, commendably, its responsibility in this matter, despite the fact that they have been, at times, unnerved by the conditions here, and by the uncer- tainty of the future. But now that uncertainty is eliminated; moreover we are enjoying better conditions than we have known for years. We can enter heart and soul into the work that is before us. In the few months that remain to us of this college year — in our Glee Club tour, our baseball trips, our visits here and there — and then in the summer months that follow, let us direct our energies toward the securing new students, that these new buildings may be filled to overflowing. But with all our getting, let us remember to get only the best. For with her students, not with her plant or equipment, lies the future well-being of our Alma Mater.
The Trend Toward a More Unified Spirit.
We have heard much and often during the last few years, of the fac- tional spirit which has frequently mani- fested itself in the life and activities of the College. That such a spirit has existed, and does still exist to a certain extent, there can be no doubt. It has
THE STENTOR
228
often been deprecated by our presi- dent, professors, and students alike. There have even been some efforts made to remedy it. But it has con- tinued to show itself, though with slowly decreasing frequency. As usual, fac- tionalism Uas appeared this year; but so infrequently has it appeared, as compared with other years, that we flatter ourselves that a distinct advance toward a more democratic, and a more unified, college spirit has been made.
It was with great pleasure that we read the announcement (which appears in this issue) of one of the fraternities, of a weekly "open house" in their rooms. We heartily commend the move — it is right in line with the pres- ent tendency toward a better esprit de corps in the College. Nay more, we believe that if the other fraternal or- ganizations could see their way to meet this move with similar ones, one of the most effective steps toward the realiza- tion of the ideal college spirit which we so much desire would be made. In certain of the Eastern colleges the fraternities put aside a couple of hours on a certain evening each week, dur- ing which time their doors are opened to any and every one who may wish to enter. Why cannot we do the same?
THETA PSI DANCE.
The Theta Psi Sorority gave their annual dancing party at the Winter Club last Friday night. It was one of the most successful of the season, and all who attended returned the report that a most enjoyable evening was spent.

PHI PI AT HOME.
Phi Pi Epsilon fraternity wishes to announce that they will be "at home" to the men of the college on Monday evenings from 7 to 9:30, in the fraternity rooms in North Hall.
These evenings will be strictly in- formal and are meant simply to afford an opportunity for all the men of the college to become better acquainted with one another.
It is hoped that these gatherings will augment the "get together" spirit and aid in bringing about the dawning '•era of good feeling" when everyone of whatever class or affiliation will be pulling together for Lake Forest.
Wear your old clothes and a pipe and at least one idea about some col- lege enterprise!
Madison, Wis., March 9. — Because it is impossible to give its 800 young women students adequate physical training in the present gymnasium, which can accommodate conveniently but 150, it is proposed to erect a woman's building at the University of Wisconsin.
A bill appropriating $100,000 annually for four years was recently introduced into the legislature to cover the cost of the new structure. As soon as the amount is available con- struction of the proposed building will be begun.
At present about 350 of the uni- versity girls are crowded into large classes in the Chadbourne Hall gym- nasium.
In view of thes^e conditions a woman's building with adequate gym- nasium facilities is regarded as one of the imperative needs of the state uni- versity.— Record-Herald.

MYSELF AND ME.
I'm the best pal I ever had, I like to be with me.
I like to sit and tell myself things con- fidentially.
I often sit and ask me if I shouldn't or I should,
And I find that my advice to me is al- ways pretty good.
I never got acquainted with myself till here of late,
And I find myself a bully chum, I treat me simply great.
I talk with me and walk with me, and show me right and wrong.
I never knew how well myself and me could get along.
I've made a study of myself, compared me with the lot,
And I've finally concluded that I'm the best friend that I've got. — Ex.

Illinois-Lake Forest Debate
Only Inter-Collegiate Debate of tKe Year to be Held in Chapel Next Thursday Evening
In Reid Memorial Chapel next Thursday evening, at eight o'clock, will be held the sixth annual inter-collegi- ate debate between Illinois and Lake Forest Colleges. The proposition: "Resolved, that laws further restricting immigration of foreigners to the United States are inexpedient." is to be dis- cussed, Illinois taking the affirmative and Lake Forest the negative of the question.
This debate deserves the interest and hearty support of every student, because (1) it is the only intercollegiate debate of the year and (2) Illinois is one of our oldest and most formidable rivals in debate. Out of the five de- bates, Illinois has won three and Lake Forest two.
The team which is to represent Lake Forest in the field consists of Palmer, Robineau and Schwartz. These men, it will be remembered, were easily the strongest debaters of the two inter-society teams. Robineau has appeared in but one debate, the inter-society debate of this year; Schwartz debated in last year's Beloit-
Lake Forest Freshman debate, and in this year's inter-society debate, Palmer has had the experience of two inter- society debates, and of the two inter- collegiate debates of last year. All three men have shown great strength as debaters, and they should form a team well worthy of representing Lake Forest.
VESPER SERVICE.
The union vesper service of Sun- day afternoon was led by the Rev. Mr. Chidister, of Waukegan. He spoke briefly and to the point on "Thou Shalt Be a Blessing." One of the best ways for one to be a blessing to others is to- be natural, to be himself.
Of unusual interest to the audience was the singing of Albert and William Cutler, Miss Cutler's small brothers.. They have been singing for some time in one of the largest churches of Louis- ville, Kentucky, and their voices show the results of the excellent training which they received there. We hope to hear them again.

GLEE CLUB SINGS TONIGHT AT WAUKEGAN.
The Lake Forest College Glee Club, under the directorship of Mr. G. W. Brewster and under the leader- ship of R. G. Talcott, appears tonight for the first time this season in the Parish House at Waukegan. This will be the third successive annual appearance of the Glee Club in Wau- kegan; and considerable merit will be required for the Club to uphold its reputation of the two previous years.
The season opens, in some ways more auspiciously than ever before. The Club has a large nucleus of old men, supported by a number of new men, among whom are some splendid voices. The parts are even better balanced, if that be possible, than in past years; and there is a closer sym- pathy apparent among the men in singing.
There are, however, some diffi- culties to be met by the Club. It is somewhat likely to suffer from over- confidence — especially of its older members — but that will remedy itself in short order. Moreover, the Club has this year lost the Rag Quartet and the String Quartet, the absence of which must be made up by extraordi- narily good work in the singing itself We, nevertheless, predict a very suc- cessful concert for this evening.
The program for the concert is as follows: ,

The program is entirely newjwith but one or two exceptions. The piano solo has been introduced to take the place of one of the quartets of last year. The club's new reader in the person of "Jake" Schwartz, should be especially acceptable to the audience, inasmuch as he claims Waukegan as his home.
It is hoped that a large crowd will go from here to the concert — both the Glee Club and the Manager need your support. Ask Manager Keithley for further particulars.

The coming of the Lake Forest col- lege glee club to the Parish house next Thuisday evening on its annual visit to this city promises to be one of the greatest musical successes of the season. The manager of the club states that the members of the club have been work- ing hard and that as a result musical patrons in this city will be given even a greater treat than in former years when they have earned enviable praise for their meritorious rendition.
New faces will be seen in the club this year but it is said that all of the changes have been for the better. The same features that have earned so much applause for the club in former years will again be p resented this year. One of the most ludicrous of these will be the child impersonation which al- ways makes a great hit with local audi ences. Jacob Schwartz will appear as one of the impersonators.
He will also be one of the two readers on the program, and from the reports of the faculty at Lake Forest he is one of the surprises of the season. As a reader he is said to be an immense success. New features and songs as well as the old favorites are to be upon the program this year. — Waukegan Sun.

On to WauKegan.
It has been some time since the student body has been called upon for an exhibition of their college spirit. But the time has come when such .a demonstration is not only desirable but necessary. To-night the Glee Club gives its first concert of the season, at Waukegan. Upon this concert de- pends largely the success of the spring tour, and that tour will have far reach- ing results in the new student cam- paign, whether immediately or in suc- ceeding years.
The Club needs your support. It means more than you can realize. Show your college spirit!
The Passing of Dowie
We, very like to him who passed a life time within the sound of Niagara with- out once viewing the great wonder, had ' been in Lake Forest four years without visiting Zion City, or seeing the great autocrat in whose hands the destiny of that city has rested so long. Like others, we waited till the motive power,, the great ruling force of the city, the very life of the place, was gone. We have always expected to see and hear the great Dowie, but we waited too long.
We were, however, fortunate enough to see him in death. And from that one brief look, we can well imagine what a figure he was, standing before his people in all his glory, with the fire of genius, that burned within, gleaming from his great, deep-set eyes. To appreciate the greatness of the man, one has only to visit the city, examine the public buildings and the industries of the place, study the people, and see the throngs that frequent the great wooden tabernacle. John Alexander Dowie, whether deceiver or self- deceived, sane or insane, was a man of wonderful power, of remarkable genius. We were somewhat surprised at the temperateness of the eulogium, pronounced upon the great departed leader by Judge Barnes, one of the foremost men. of the city at present. There were a few (to us) absurdities, and one or two contradictions. So common is that to funeral addresses, however, that we're used to it. But for the most part it must have been a very correct estimate of the man Dowie. John Alexander Dowie performed three great works, according to the speaker. He founded a city, he intro- duced a new industry, and he disclosed a great hidden truth — divine healing. The first two claims we cannot but
THE STENTOR
240
concede. In Zion City he established a community that is almost a model for its moral cleanliness, and for its freedom from the vice that is so common to most cities. And in introducing the lace industry, he has added another resource of great economic vaule to the country. As for the great truth which he is said to have disclosed, we only know that many remarkable cures have been effected, beyond legitimate doubt — we think we have a better explanation for them than that he presented.
His whole theory of religion and government, it was said, was but the working out of the Sermon on the Mount. Love, not tyranny, was the great motive of his life. We must in- deed give him and his followers credit for being more sincere in their belief in the brotherhood of man than we are. Within the confines of that city are found representatives from seventy nationalities, white, black and yellow, all apparently dwelling together in perfect harmony. We doubt that such a condition of affairs can be duplicated in this land of ours.
We went as goes the scoffer. Some things that we saw and heard seemed absurd. But we, nevertheless, returned with a profound respect for the ability and the genius of the man who estab- lished the city of Zion.
The Music Master
To the tribute of the Oberlin Review to David Warfield's produc- tion of "The Music Master," we would like to add our own word of apprecia- tion. The play itself is a remarkable bit of realism, in which are combined to a nicety the comedy and the tragedy of every-day life. It is easily one of the greatest of present day
a little from the unstinting praise given to the cast. True, we cannot imagine a stronger presentation of the old music master, than Mr. War- field's; but the impersonation of the character of Helen, the old man's daughter, might easily be improved upon. She is not deeply enough in earnest; the tears in her voice do not bring the tears to the eyes.
According to the city papers C. Wendell David of Northwestern Uni- versity heads the list of five students in this state that passed the recent Rhodes' examinations, the returns of which have just arrived from Oxford. The successful students are one from Northwestern University, two from St. Ignatius, and two from Illinois Uni- versity.
One of these five students will be awarded the scholarship of $1,500 per year for a period of three years. In this second selection of a candidate the personality of the man, his develop- ment, both physical and mental, will be factors in the appointment. — North- western.

Manager Frost of the baseball team is arranging for games with the University of Chicago freshmen. Other games on the schedule are those with Morgan Park, Armour, Evanston, Oak Park High School and University High.
Lake Forest won highest honors in the High School and Academy sec- tion of the A. A. U. meet in Chicago March 13th, Schnur taking first in the 60-yard dash in 6 2-5, equalling the time made in the open event. Runkle took second in the 60-yards, and the relay team ran third — making seven points in all. North Division was sec- ond and University High third. In the open shot put Bedell was fourth, beating out Russell, of Chicago Uni- versity, and Benbrook.
In a sensational basket ball game Lake Forest defeated Morgan Park 25
to 23. The first half ended with the score 16 to 10 in favor of Morgan, but in the second our team came back with a rush that wore down the opponents. No one on Lake Forest can be said to have starred, for every man was in the game from start to finish. On Satur- day, March 16th, Evanston Adademy defeated Lake Forest in the last league game of the season 31 to 12. at Evan- ston. This game leaves Evanston and Morgan Park tied for first with 4 won and 2 lost each, Lake Forest third with 3 won and 3 lost, and Armour last with 1 won and 5 lost. The league season has been a most successful one. De- spite the fact that this is Lake Forest's first year at the game and that three men nave been lost from the team, she has split even with every team in the league.
The minstrel show Saturday night brought a record breaking crowd to the gymnasium and as a result the athletic association is some $65 richer. The bright particular star of the per- formance was McClurg who kept the audience in laughter all the time he was on the stage. Frost's singing was a revelation to those who have become weary of the screeching of Caruso, Melba and the rest. The circle was radiant with the jokes and apparel of the old minstrel days. The farces were very attractive. The Academy orchestra which made its first public appearance received much favorable comment and will doubtless prove a strong feature of Academy life. Mr. Bast deserves much credit both for the management of the performance and for his own part in it.

But if Mayhap your fancies turn to lesser things In Art — it would have disappointed you.

A MEN'S CLUB.
Although praise, in a large measurer is due Lake Forest for the spirit of good will which exists among her stu- dents, yet it is clear that the most per- fect opportunities for close fellowship with all the men are lacking. Condi- tions in our college life which restrict our close acquaintances to a few ought not to be. Dr. Halsey is right when he says that one must look back with regret on such restrictions. On our campus, or in close proximity to it7 live men who are to become for this country
To become well acquainted with these men now; to learn their natures from the inside as well as from the out; to discover their unusual stock of '''stuuts" and abilities, are joys which all of us should have.
But, before this is possible there must needs be a frequent gathering of all the men for purposes of fellowship and entertainment. This condition is partially met through the move that the fraternities are making, but there is a question whether these open-house evenings will be sufficiently far reach- ing in their results, regardless of the unquestioned value they have in the life of the college. Also, the Com- mons is a source of fellowship for all,, but the joy is so short, and the Junior knows little of what is going on among his sophomore and freshmen brothers.
To come to the point, then, the writer would suggest that a men's club be organized in Lake Forest College. Whether or not this has been advo- cated before he does not know, but such a club would undoubtedly keep the spirit high. An organization of this sort has come to be very much valued in the majoritv >f colleges, and there is no reason w'iv .re should not have one. Then all the men could

Let me but do my work from day to day, In field or forest, at the desk or loom, In roaring market-place or tranquil room ;
Let me but find it in my heart to say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me astray,
"This is my workjmy blessing,not my doom; Of all who live, I am the one by whom
This work can best be done in my own way:"
Then shall I see it not too great, nor small,
To suit my spirit and to prove my powers; Then shall I cheerful greet the laboring hours,
And cheerful turn, when the shadows fall
At eventide to play and love and rest,
Because I know for me my work is best.

Lake Forest Debates Illinois Col- lege Tonight.
Lake Forest and Illinois College meet in joint debate for the sixth time this evening. Of the the five previous debates, Illinois has won three to our two — our debatres will use every en- ergy to even up that score.

Mr. Schwartz, the new reader, Mr. Brewster, the soloist, and the octette, were the best numbers and received the enthusiastic applause of the audi- ence. Mr. Schwartz gave a humorous reading in German dialect, which was most amusing in itself and excellently well delivered. He ably fills the vacancy made by D. K. Hoope's graduation.
Mr. Brewster has a beautiful tenor voice and was encored repeatedly. He was asked by some Waukegan ites who had heard him before, to sing

"The Rosary," which he did obligingly and well.
The Octette's stunt, "Mrs. Win- slow's Soothing Syrup", was the best of all, however. So good, its goodness can't be explained — it must be heard to be appreciated.
The Swede's bird, Pinkey's deep basso and the well practiced harmony in the singing of the whole club all materially helped to make the audience feel that the entertainment was good and they expressed their appreciation by asking for another date.
On the whole the club this year is fully as good as that of last year. The String quartette and Stevens are missed naturally but their absence is in a great measure made up by Mr. Headley whose diminutive stature, accompanied by remarkable mastery over his violin made him at once a favorite with the audience. Some of the new freshmen songsters displayed a little nervousness at the beginning of the concert but they soon lost that when they got warmed up to their jobs, and helped make the first concert of the Glee Club an auspicious commence- ment of a verv successful season.

their annual trip on the 29th. The trip will take up nearly all of the spring vacation and they will cover nearly one thousand miles in their travels.
The Glee Club serves a double purpose — it affords its members an excellent way to spend their vacation and in addition it is one of the best ways the College has to advertise. Let us hope that they will be in such good voice all through the trip that they will be able to charm enough to come out here next year to fill up our new dormitories.
PHI PI EPSILON DANCE.
One of the finest dances of the season was that given by Phi Pi Epsi- lon at the Winter Club last Friday evening. Over seventy people were in attendance, a considerable number of whom were out-of-town guests. The hall and the reception room were tastefully decorated with Phi Pi's col- ors, purple and gold. From behind a screen of palms, at one end of the hall, Johnny Hand's Orchestra wove the mystic spell. Even the beauty of the night c©uld scarcely lure the dancers from the hall to the balconies. The dance began early, and ended at a sea- sonable hour; and it afforded all who attended an evening of unalloyed pleasure.

BASEBALL.
Practice Game with Academy.
The first practice game of baseball was played with the Academy team last Saturday. The game was played merely to get a line on the candidates and for batting practice. No score was kept. Keithley and Callahan easily- kept the prep, school men from getting too many hits. The men batted well and, considering the condition of the grounds, the fielding was good. Cap- tain Milner was on second base, where he expects to play this year; McCrea at first, Scott on short and Paul Stoltz on third with Stark behind the bat. Dickey, Lisk, Sam Stoltz, Baker, and Hall were in the outfield. This lineup is by no means final, but gives some idea of what the makeup of the team will be.
TracK.
The track squad has been training for some time in the gymnasium and as soon as the field is dry will be ready for outdoor work.
Candidates for the weight events and long runs have been outdoors, but because of the mud the work has not been satisfactory from the standpoint of record breaking. However, the men are getting in good condition, and Coach Bradstreet confidently expects
to see several records smashed before the season is far advanced.
Practice will start on Farwell Field immediately after spring vacation when it is thought that the track and jump- ing pits will be in good shape.
PROOFS OF THE ANCIENT ORIGIN OF BASEBALL.
In Genesis we hear much of the be- ginning.
Eve stole first, Adam stole second.
Cain made a base hit.
Abraham made a sacrifice.
Noah put the dove out on a fly.
The Prodigal son made a home-run.
David struck out Goliath.
We hear much of foul flies in Pharaoh's time.
We know that Rebecca was in com- pany with a pitcher.
Judas was a base-man.
Jehu's team is highly praised.
We hear of the Egyptians' short stop near the Red sea.
Ruth and Naomi did good work in the field.

PROFESSOR FITE SPEAKS AT CHAPEL.
Professor Fite, of the University of Indiana, spoke at chapel last Tues- day, on the need for the intellectual man. During the last fifteen or twenty years, there seems to have been a steady depreciation of the intellectual side of college life. It is being claimed that a college training is not primarily for the development of the intellectual side of life, but rather for giving one a broad outlook on life. This idea of the so-called college life, is a false estimate of life.
We sometimes think of the intel- lectual as being somewhat incompati- ble with the moral. Any such distinction is a false one. For no one can reach the highest moral develop- ment who is deficient intellectually.
Nothing is so much needed in this country today as a body of intellectual men. We have corrupt politics, not because we want it, but because we are not intelligent to choose the honest rather than the disnonest men for re- sponsible offices.
The ideal man is "a scholar and a gentleman."
THE '08 FORESTER.
This year's annual has now gone to press, and will be larger and better than any previous issue of the Forester. Mr. R. H. Curtis has done himself proud this year in illustrating the book, and the wits of the campus have filled the section devoted to grinds so full that that department had to be enlarged by four pages. Altogether the book will be larger by twenty-five pages than the edition of last year. The book will be ready for distribution on April 15th.
FRATERNITIES TO BE HOUSED IN NEW DORMITORIES.
Arrangements have been made whereby all the fraternities are to have headquarters in the new dormitories. The present arrangement is the result of prolonged conference between Act- ing President Halsey and representa- tives of the five fraternal organizations.
These organizations have been as- signed rooms as follows: —
Phi Pi Epsilon is to be housed in the tower end of the building already erected, and Omega Psi is assigned the first floor of the outer section of the same building. Kappa Sigma is to have the tower end of the second dor- mitory, and the outer section of that building will be divided between Di- gamma and Beta Rho Delta, one taking the first floor and the other the second.
This leaves an entire floor open to non-fraternity men and newcomers.
VESPER SERVICE.
The Rev. Calvin H. French, of the class of '88, who is now President of Huron College, at Huron, South Da- kota, addressed the students at Vespers last Sunday afternoon. His theme was the relation of the spiritual to the every day affairs. We enjoy hearing these old Lake Forest men — may we have more of them. Mrs. Case, a friend of Dr. Halsey's, sang.
At Yale a driving team has been organized.

The Glee Club a Success.
The Glee Club scored its first tri- umph last Thursday night. A triumph it was — but not merely a triumph: it was an assurance of another successful sea- son. The Waukegan concert, aside
from upholding the former reputation of the club, was of especial value in that it proved the new men, and showed the club just where its weak- ness lay. With this week of practice after the Waukegan concert, the Lake Forest Glee Club shohld be in the very best shape to make the greatest success of years.
"Open House" Night.
Some time ago, one of the frater- nities announced that it would hold open house for a couple of hours on Monday evening of each week. We expressed then our hope that this move would open the way for a closer fellow- ship among the men and a more uni- fied college spirit.
We are glad now to note that that initiative has already resulted in a gen- eral plan among the fraternities to hold informal open houses in the houses or rooms of the various organizations, on successive Monday evenings.
On last Monday evening the sec- ond of these "open houses" took place. Both have been well attended, both have abounded with good fellowship, and both have been eminently worth while.
To be sure an ideal plan has not yet been worked out for the new cus- tom. It may be found more effective for two fraternities to open their doors on the same night, and perhaps once in two weeks, rather than once a week. However that may be, it is a cus- tom well worthy a place among the traditions of Lake Forest College. If it be continued, it will no doubt|become a factor that will accomplish in a silent way what the noise and bluster of the ordinary enthusiasm meeting can never accomplish. In a small college, of all institutions, democracy and a unified

spirit is essential. These informals are capable of effecting that spirit — let us give them a chance.
The Easter^Season.
The Easter season, with all its de- lights, is upon us. It, like Christmas- tide, is one of the few seasons in which nearly every one is influenced by re- ligious sentiment. If you are a cynic, you may allege other causes for the multitudes who throng the church on Easter morn. But, notwithstanding, it shows how basic is that element of re- ligion in the hearts of all mankind.
We are now practically assured that the two groups of men now off the campus, are to be back in our midst again next year. We may well congratulate ourselves that this is so. We are quite sure that they have missed much in being thus apart from the college com- munity; and we are certain that those who have been on the campus have missed a great deal by their absence. Their living on the campus cannot but make for the more wholesome college spirit that we hear so much of. We hope that it may never again be neces- sary for any group or groups to live so far from the campus.
Our next issue will appear on Thursday, April 18.
[The following is a strong com- mendation of the Glee Club's work at the Waukegan concert from an old alumnus. — Editor's Note.] Editor Stentor,
Lake Forest, 111. Dear Sir:
As an alumnus of Lake Forest College I feel impelled to say to you that it was my pleasure to listen again to the Lake Forest Glee Club at their
concert given here on Thursday even ing last and am glad to say to you that it was the best effort, from a musica standpoint, that our Alma Mater has ever rendered, in my judgment.
Since 1897 I have heard every Glee Club that has left our Lake Forest campus; and the boys the other even- ing showed what real training can do for them. Their every appearance was marked by thorough drill and showed most creditably for themselves and their trainer whom I have since learned they have been practicing with. The whole tone of their ap- pearance led me to ask how long they had practiced, and I was informed that they had been under a director, which accounted to me at once for their so marked success. Let me say, sir, that Lake Forest College will be well honored this year by its Glee Club. The boys deseive the very best where- ever they may go.
Fraternally yours,
Benjamin Parmalee.

Columbia University has adopted a unique method of arousing interest in scholorship.

And for every "point" he receives, $5 will be removed from his tuition. In this way an intelligent student can win $60 or more of the university's money in a year. — Ex.

The Glee Club Tour
Glee Club Gives Six Concerts in Illinois and Indiana. The Trip a Success
The tour just completed by the Glee Club has, on the whole, been one of the most successful that has been taken by a Lake Forest Glee Club, Although the Club struck some small towns, yet from the standpoint of their own pleasure not one of the Club has regretted it. Indeed, the smaller towns furnished not only the most apprecia- tive, but the largest, audiences, as well. And yet, so far as it concerns the Col- lege, it would, in all probability, be better to sing only in the larger places.
Without doubt, from a musical standpoint, the Club did better work than ever before; but at the same time it presented, for the average audience a program not quite so varied and well balanced as in some previous years# The String Quartet and the Rag Trio or Quartet were sorely missed. The former would have given the program more tone, and the latter was needed to enliven the first part of the pro- gram,
The Club left the city for Streator at about noon on Friday, March 21, accompanied by a number of Lois Hall girls, who attended the concert in the evening en masse, to the gratification
of the Glee Club. The concert was given in the auditorium of the Streator Club, under the auspices of that organ- ization. The audience was compara- tively small and seemingly unenthusi- astic; but from the words of many of the auditors, the concert was neverthe- less highly appreciated. It being the first night out, the men were a little nervous, but the program was well ren- dered.
On the following morning the Club took the train for Fairbury, where they were met and taken care of by ''Freddie" Bethard. The concert of the evening was an improvement over that at Streator, and a larger and more enthusiastic audience was in attendance. The following day, Sunday, was also spent in Fairbury; and it will be re- membered gratefully by the men of the Club as being one of the red letter days of the tour of 1907. They will not soon forget the fine hospitality en- joyed in the homes of Fairbury. The Club sang in the morning at the Meth- odist church, and in the evening at the Presbyterian church, where they sat under the voice of the Rev. Mr. Davies, an old alumnus and Glee Club man.
259
THE STENTOR
On Monday morning the Club went to Sheldon in a special car, and in the afternoon the gave a few selections at the High School. For the evening concert the opera house, though small, was packed to its limit with an enthusiastic audience, and they were rewarded with one of the best concerts of the trip. For the Alma Mater song "Bud," "Blossom," and Griffith were summoned from the audi- ence, and, with Barrett, pushed to the front, very much to the gratification of the audience. Great credit is due "Bud" for the success of the concert, inasmuch as he took the Club to Shel- don entirely on his own responsibility.
The concert at Logansport, (al- though the men were cheered by the presence of their former leader, Stevens, and a number of other old men,) good as it was, did not come up to the standard set the night before. For this one concert, Mr. Stevens re- sumed his old place on the program as violinist. He played Raff's Cavatina — doubtless more for the Glee Club men than for the audience.
In the course of the journey to Gilman next day, the train delayed an hour and forty minutes at Effner. which marks the state line. Accordingly by twos and fours nearly all the men trooped to Sheldon, two miles and a half distant, where they again took the train for Gilman. The concert given here was, without question, the best of the week, and the audience was enthu- siastic from start to finish.
On Thursday night the Club sang its swan song before a Pontiac audi- ence; but, despite the excellence of the concert, the audience failed to rise to a fever heat of enthusiasm. As during its stop at Pontiac two years ago, the entire Club was royally enter- tained at lunch at the reformatory —
this time through the hospitality of Mrs. Mallory, wife of Superintendent Mallory.

BASEBALL SEASON OPENED YESTERDAY.
LaKe Forest Vs. Chicago University.
By the time this number of the STENTOR 13 issued the first baseball game of the season will have been played with Chicago University.
Because of the weather conditions it has been impossible to make the grounds on Farwell Field fit to play on so that the team was forced to open the season without having even prac- ticed on a finished diamond. On the other hand Chicago has played a num- ber of games with fast teams and should be in excellent form. Whether or not the score was proportionate to the amount of practice we cannot tell until the next issue.
Saturday afternoon the first home game will be played with Armour In- stitute.
Residents in the neighborhood of Farwell Field have been quietly resting for some time. Let's get busy and awaken them with a little rooting.
Talcott Resigns Captaincy of TracK Team.
R. G. Talcott, '08, has resigned the captaincy of the track team and Louis Scott, '09, has been elected to fill the vacancy.
Talcott is carrying extra hours this semester and says that he cannot spare enough time from his studies to
warrant his holding the position. ScottT though a sophomore, is a sure point winner and an able man for the place.
With the opening of the track sea- son but a few weeks away the track team is still deficient in numbers. Several men have been out training faithfully and are showing up well. These men will probably win points in the meets this spring; but a few points will not win a meet, and that is what the team is for.
There seems to be a general im- pression among the students that we are to have a track team, but where they expect it to come from it is hard to tell. With the exception of the few mentioned above, every one seems to be training to hold down the bleachers. Of course it is nice to have plenty of rooters, and the rooters usually get some enjoyment out of the meets, but even they might find the contests rather uninteresting in case we have no team to put in the field.
It is up to some one to get busy, and that some one means every able- bodied student residing south of the ravine.

ZION CITY CONCERT.
One of the most unique experi- ences through which the Glee Club has passed was the concert that it gave in the Educational Building at Zion City last Thursday night.
The audience, numbering seven or eight hunpred persons, was at once the largest, and one of the most appreci- ative audiences that the Club has met. To all appearances it was like any other audience, save in that the program was both opened and concluded with prayer, and that an expurgated pro- gram was demanded. (It had not oc- curred to any of the Club that any of its program was essentially wrong till that request was made.) In accordance with the request Mr. Brewster omitted singing "A Man's Story," in the first part of the program, and the second part was changed as follows:

The latter youthful prodigies were somewhat at a disad- vantage in having to go through their
contortions in dress suits (by request again) rather than in their conventional costumes, but they bore up bravely. The Club was assisted by Miss Rey- nolds, who accompanied for Mr. Brew- ster's solos, and for the two sacred choruses.
DR. NOLLEN'S ADDRESS.
Dr. Nollen, of the Department of German at Indiana University, gave an excellent talk to the students at Monday's Chapel service. He es- poused the cause of the college, and gave some irrefutable proofs for its right to exist. The college is, first of all, a conservator of the knowledge and the culture of the past. It is, secondly, the place, above all others, where one may form, or rather discover, his taste for the particular line of work for which he is best fitted. It is, again, the one institution that produces the well- rounded man or woman. The docton the scientist, or whatever he be, must' first of all, be a man.
From the tendency toward over- specialization, there is coming a reac- tion— and the college is again coming into favor.
VESPER SERVICE.
In the absence of the speaker of the hour, the Rev. John N. Freeman, of Chicago, Professor Halsey gave a short talk on the relations of Christ to the family, and to the social and in- dustrial life about him. The family was to him the most sacred of institu- tions. The teachings of Christ are the basis for what is best in the social and industrial systems of today.
Miss Cutler sang one of the more rarely heard settings of "Abide With Me."

The Glee Club Trip.
Was it worth while? With all the energy and time consumed in prepara- tion, the strain of mind and body, and the expense necessitated, was the trip worth while? If there is anything of value in a closer spirit of fel- lowship among the men of the Club — representative men as they are — or in a task well performed, or of worth in the best kind of advertising that the College can receive, then it has been eminently worth while.
As an advertiser of the College, the value of such a tour cannot easily be overestimated — and this year, par- ticularly, the success of the Club as a
musical organization has been greatly augmented by the gentlemanly behav- ior of its members.
In this connection we want to en- ter a protest against the action of the faculty just one week before the trip which resulted in the loss of one or two- men from the Club. We are heartily in accord with the substance of its- action; but that such action should be taken at such a time, leaving no oppor- tunity for the making up of delinquent work, we think not quite fair. The ab- sence of these one or two men made the difference between one of the mosf successful tours and the most successful tour of the Glee Club.
Mr. Brewster and Mr. Talcott are to be congratulated for giving the Club such thorough preparation, and putting it into such excellent form as it showed during the week; and Manager Keith- ley is to be commended for giving to the Club one of the best and most pleasurable trips it has enjoyed.
DR. HARLAN ACCEPTS IMPORTANT POSI- TION WITH GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY.
It may be of great interest to the community in and about Lake Forest College to learn of the appointment of ex-President Richard D. Harlan to the head position in the newly begun Enlargement Movement of the George Washington University, Washington,. D. C. The acceptance letter of Dr. Harlan, which we print herewith, will- explain the full scope and the national importance of Dr. Harlan's new edu- cational activities.
"My Dear President Needham:
"The invitation to assist in the effort to enlarge the scope of The George Washington University has appealed to me very strongly, and I have much pleasure in accepting it.
THE STENTOR

"To those engaged in this enter- prise it is an encouraging fact that the plan of establishing a great university at the national capital is older than the nation itself. It was vigorously pressed by James Madison and Charles Pinck- ney in the Constitutional Convention of 1787. President Washington him- self, in a letter written in 1795, urged it upon the attention of the Commis- sioners of the District, and he again earnestly advocated it in a speech to both Houses of Congress in 1796. His private letters during the closing years of his life also abound in proofs of his absorbing interest in the project.
"How near this plan was to the heart of George Washington is finally shown in that remarkable and long- neglected paragraph in his last will and testament in which he lifts up before the American people a splendid vision of a great University at the Capital of the Nation, in which 'youths of talent' from 'all parts of this great empire could acquire 'knowledge in the prin- ciplef of Politics and Good Govern- ment,' and thereby lose those 'state prejudices' and 'local jealouses * * * which, when carried to excess, are never-failing sources of disquietude to the public mind, and pregnant with mischievous consequences to this country.'
"A careful analysis of all that Washington said and wrote upon this subject shows that, according to his plan, the three chief functions of such a university would be these:
"(1) The creation of the spirit of unity and the deepening of the sense of nationality;
"(2) The increase of 'knowledge in the principles of Politics and Good Government' ;
"(3) The 'promotion of Science' in the interest of 'the advancement of
Agriculture, Commerce, and Manufac- tures.'
"A century of scholars and states- men have not been able to work out a wiser or more comprehensive outline of what should be the special mission of a great University at the Capital of the Nation, except, that all are now agreed that the chief field of such a university should be in what is known as graduate or post-graduate work, including professional courses.
"The magnificent Government libraries, scientific collections, appara- tus and laboratories — which perhaps could never be duplicated in an educa- tional institution at any other locality, even at the expenditure of manv mil- lions of dollars — would offer extraordi- nary advantages to the advanced stu- dent in Applied Science, independ- ently of the libraries, laboratories, etc., of the University itself.
"Quite as unique is the opportunity presented at the seat of the General Government for the development of really great Schools of the Political Sciences, Jurisprudence, Diplomacy, and International Law. I am glad to learn that your Trustees expect to make such schools as these the lead- ing departments of the enlarged George Washington University. If your new College of the Political Sciences, and your Department of Law (which would embrace all the subjects just mentioned) can be muni- ficently endowed and equipped, and manned by the ablest teachers to be found in this country or abroad, The George Washington University would attract advanced students from every State in the Union and, to some extent, from other parts of North and South America.

ing the point when, in a large sense, it will be the educational as well as the political Capital of the Nation. Wit- ness The Smithsonian Institution, the Bureau of Education, and the great scientific and technical bureaus of the general government; witness the Car- negie Institution of Washington and the Carnegie Foundation for the Ad- vancement of Teaching, whose princi- pal offices are to be removed to Washington; witness the increase in the number of scientific and literary men residing at the capital.
"One great State in the Llnion and towns and counties innumerable throughout the land have been named in honor of Washington. 'A collossal shaft of white marble, fit symbol of the purity and dignity of his character,' is his special memorial, dominating the beautiful city bearing his name. But that great university at the Capital of the Nation — the one monument of himself that he most desired, and for which he may be said to have pro- vided in his own Last Will — still re- mains unbuilt. Has not the Nation reached that stage in the development of its national °, consciousness and its sense of unity when what has been aptly called 'Washington's University' should at last be created?
"I count myself happy in thus being permitted to udo what I can ^to help bring such an inspiring program to the attention of the American people.

THIS SEASON'S STYLE.

I took my last year's Panama,
And punched it out of shape,
Then dyed it in some Alice blue,
And fastened on some crepe.
I pulled the thing way out in front,
And bent it up behind;
I stuck some feathers on the side,
The biggest I could find.
I took it to a maniac.
And bade him do his worst;
He added some few touahes,
Till it looked a thing accursed,
And then I gave it to my wife. (This little joke so pat,)

For "just the sweetest hat!" (LEnvoi)

THE STENTOR
New President Elected
Dr. John ScHolte Nollen, Professor of German, Indiana University, Elected to Presidency
of Lake Forest College.
After careful deliberation, the Board of Trustees at its last meeting unanimously elected Dr. John Scholte Nollen, head of the department of German at Indiana University, to the Presidency of Lake Forest College. This action was taken by the Trustees immediately after a joint meeting with the Faculty, thus giving to the appoint- ment the sanction of that body.
Dr. Nollen, it will be remembered, visited Lake Forest just before spring vacation, having been summoned by the Trustees from Europe, where he has been on leave of absence with his bride of less than a year, enjoying his honeymoon.
Dr. Nollen was bom at Pella, Iowa, January 15, 1869, received his collegiate education at the University of Iowa, where he graduated in 1888. After studying for several years in various German universities, he received the degree of Ph. D. from Leipzig in 1893. For the next ten years Dr. Nollen was Professor of Modern Languages at Iowa College, from which place he was called to Indiana University, where he has built up a strong German depart- ment.
Dr. Nollen is well known among scholarly men both at home and abroad. He is a Phi Beta Kappa man, a mem- ber of the Goethe Gesellschaft, of the Modern Language Association of America, and of the American Biblio-
graphical Society. He has written several books, chief among which are, "Goethe's Goetz von Bulichingen auf der Buehne," and a "Chronology and Practical Bibliography of Modern Ger- man Literature," for the Lake German series.
The Chicago Record-Herald quotes the following words from Pro- fessor John M. Clapp, of the English Department here, touching his qualifi- cations for the office:
"Dr. Nollen is pre-eminently a man fitted for the presidency. He is a great hustler and an indefatigable worker. Four years ago he took charge of the German department at Indiana, which was completely run down. He reorganized it and built it up, working winter and summer, until now over . three hundred students are enrolled in his classes. He is a man of frank, straightforward honesty, friendly, simple and tactful, always gaining his point. With such a man at its head, and with the splendid new equipment with which Lake Forest is to start out next year, the institution may well look forward to a new era of growth and achievement."
The appointment of Dr. Nollen has came as somewhat of a surprise to the student body, inasmuch as they have not had opportunity to become acquainted with him; but it has never- theless met with almost universal ac- clamation.

If you want to hear the Club at its best during one of the most successful seasons it has ever experienced, come, and you will not be disappointed. Even if you have heard the concert in whole, or in part, you cannot afford to miss this, the last and best concert of the year. The Glee Club needs your support.

KAPPA SIGMA DANCE.
Kappa Sigma gave its annual Dance at the Winter Club last Friday night. Almost fifty couple were pres- ent, dancing to the music of Johnny Hand's Orchestra.
The color scheme of the decora- tions was green and red; the walls were draped with streamers, and the lights softened with green and red shades. The orchestra was ensconced behind a colored screen. The pro- grams were of green leather on which appeared a seal of mother of pearl.
For the Kappa Sigma Extra, suit cases and tickets were given out to the girls, and to the men caps and tickets. After matching tickets, each couple started on its destination to the tune ■of "So Long, Mary."
Amongsthe old Kappa Sigma men present were E. Scott, McCullough, Hanson and "Jimmie" Smith, besides Kappa Sigma men from Chicago and Wabash.
YOUNG MEN'S AND YOUNG WOMEN'S
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS HOLD
JOINT MEETING.
The Two Christian Associations of the College held their first joint meet- ing of the year last Thursday evening in the Chapel. The Rev. F. E. Hig- gins, who spoke in Chapel Thursday at noon, described graphically his work and life among the lumber-jacks of the Wisconsin forests. Despite the wide- spread movement of missions, almost nothing had been done for these men, who are subject to peculiarly strong temptations, and who live a life almost devoid of elevating influences. But through it all, they preserve hearts that are quick in response to kindness. The speaker concluded with an appeal to the students, that they should never forget, in their striving for money, for fame, for the things of the world, those who have no such opportunities, such surroundings as they.
A man must aim well in this world to miss fire in the next.
BETA RHO DELTA HOLDS "OPEN HOUSE."
The Beta Rho Deltas took their turn at "receiving" the men of the college, Monday night, and with splendid success. The evening was made the more notable by the presence of, and a talk from Dr. Halsey, our Acting President. "I have watched," he said in substance "particularly dur- ing this year, the growth of a splendid college spirit. There have been times when there was danger of a 'frat' spirit springing up. The real fraternal spirit is what we want; and that spirit is apparent here tonight. I came here at the instance of the Beta Rho Deltas, but I find here men from every group mingling in fellowship." * * * In conclusion Dr. Halsey announced in- formally the election of Dr. Nollen to the presidency.

Baseball Season Opens.
Lake Forest opened the baseball season with two games last week and it was shown in both that the material for the team is good but that the men are sadly lacking in practice. We were defeated in both games but the results were neither surprising nor discouraging.
It was impossible to get the dia- mond on Farwell field in condition to be played on before Saturday so that at the game Wednesday with Chicago University the team not only made its first appearance in a college game for the season but also its first on a finished diamond. The result is shown below.
In Saturday's game with Armour Institute the men showed a decided improvement in every part of -the game. They played together better and the batting and fielding were fifty per cent better than in the previous game. Armour's victory was due to a great extent to the pitching of Trink- ham, who ended with seventeen strike- outs to his credit. Lake Forest's single run came in the first inning when Scott got to second on a pretty hit, was advanced to third by an error and scored on Keithley's sacrifice.
Keithly, who made his debut as a pitcher in the Chicago game, did good work, holding the visitors to six scattered hits. Before the season is much advanced he should be a star in his department.
Considering the improvement shown in the team's playing in the
short time between these two games
arid the fact that the diamond has
been in good shape for practice this
week, it is thought that we will have a
different story to tell of the Knox
game which takes place tomorrow.

Inter-Class Meet.
The annual inter-class track meet •will be held Saturday on Farwell Field. The Freshman and Sophomore classes have organized teams and have been training for some time, while the Juniors and Seniors, though entering a number of men, have made no at- tempt at organization, and it is gen- erally expected that as a result the fight for first place will be between the two under classes. The meet has al- ways been interesting, and it is thought that this one will not prove an excep- tion.
Inter-Fraternity Baseball League.
The fraternities Phi Pi Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, Omega Psi, and Di- gamma Alpha Upsilon have formed an Inter-Fraternity Baseball League. The representatives of these fraterni- ties met and made up the following schedule.
Monday, April 29 — Omega Psi vs. Digamma. '' May 6 — Phi Pi E. vs. Kappa Sigma. " i£ — Omega Psi vs. Kappa Sig. " 20 — Phi Pi E. vs. Digamma. " 27 — Kappa Sigma vs. Digamma. " June 3 — Phi Pi E. vs. Omega Psi. There are to be six games, and all are to be played on Monday afternoon .at 4 p. m. on Farwell Field.
The admission is to be ten cents
per game or fifty cents for the whole series. The proceeds of the series are to help defray the expenses of the College baseball team.
The finances of the baseball team are not any too plenty and in order for the team to be able to finish their large schedule in a fitting manner the fraternities have voluntarily pledged themselves to furnish amusement for the college community for the benefit of the baseball team.
The season tickets will be on sale at the Book Store and everyone ought to get one. The first game is next Monday between Omega Psi and Digamma.
The Batteries: Harris and Michael for Omega Psi and Wilson and Jones for Digamma. A large and handsome pennant is to be awarded the cham- pionship team.
Notes.
The Freshman track team has a meet scheduled to take place today with Highland Park High School. The first year men have a number of good track men ajnong them and are confi- dent of a victory.
The only fault with the track on Farwell Field is that it has a tendency to slip from under the runners's feet, Waddell's patent binder is beingtested on a section of it and if the operation is successful will be applied to the straightaway immediately.
George Hicks, '04, and a former editor of The Record, has received the appointment to West Point from this district. He will enter next fall. At present he is devoting time to the old cause, his high' school. He is doing some work for the Annual. — The Record [Sioux City, Iowa, High School.]

Hail! The New President!
The news that we have been await- ing, but scarcely expecting as yet, has come — we have found a President!
Of the man we know nothing; we know only of his scholastic record — and a splendid record it is! But he is one of whom all who know him speak in the highest terms. He is one of whom our own Acting President, Dr. Halsey, who has carried on so wisely and so well the duties of a president, has said that it is an inspiration to grasp his hand, and to look into his eye. He is a young man, "young enough to stay for twenty years," if he is the man we've been looking for,
and we believe he is! What an out- look it is! Four beautiful new build- ings, and a President, under whose guidance Lake Forest College may live and grow for twenty years without a break!'
ECHOES OF THE GLEE CLUB TRIP.
There are few entertainments at the opera house which escape criticism and receive a uniformly favorable ver- dict. The concert of the Lake Forest Glee Club Wednesday night of last week was one of these elect. Re- garded either as a laugh producer or from the musical point of view, it is equally to be eommended. The audi- ence which packed the opera house was generous in its applause, sending, encore after encore till the most exact- ing performer could not but be satisfied with his reception. Socially, as well as- entertainers, the college boys were the lions of the town during their short stay. Should they ever make a return' date, they will be assured of a largei audience than that which greeted them-' on their first visit. — Gilman Star.
Taken as a whole the show was first class and was appreciated as it should be by the audience. They were not stingy with their encores^ and left a good impression with the Sheldon people. Should they decide to come to Sheldon again next season they would doubtless be greeted by & much larger audience. — Sheldon Journal.

The data for the next Year Book commenced to be gathered as soon as this year's Forester went to press, and all the grinds, etc., that are turned in now will be issued in the '09 book, In order to have the publication com- plete it is necessary that the staff-elect have the cooperation of the entire student body and if anything of interest occurs write it out and place it in the Forester Box in North Hall; and if the material is good and you put in enough of it you will be in line for the generous prizes that the Forester gives every year to those that assist.
LAKE FOREST DEBATE TEAM CHOSEN.
The Freshman debating team which will meet Lake Forest on May 10 was chosen at the inter-society preliminaries Saturday evening. The men selected are Leverett Lyon, leader, Lloyd Maurer, Lee Wackman and Paul Payne, alternate. The judges were Philip Kennedy, Ed Light, '06, and Charles Worf, '08. The Lake Forest debate is the only one which will be held in Beloit this year and comes a week before Beloit's Sopho- more team will be speaking against Lawrence at Appleton. — The Round Table, April 12, '07.

A NEW WORK IN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY.
There has just issued from the press of Campion and Sons, Philadel- phia, a new work by B. A. Konkle, '87, entitled "The Life of Chief Justice Ellis Lewis, 1 798-1871." It will be re- membered that Mr. Konkle has already published the lives of Thomas Smith and Thomas Williams, men of impor- tance in our earlier history, and at least three other monographs about Penn- sylvanians, prominent in the state and nation, are in preparation. The pres- ent work deals with the colonial period and the period following up to the civil war, somewhat from the Democratic view-point, and contains some notable letters of Buchanan and Taney, now first published. Lewis was a Jackso- nian Democrat who still supported the United States Bank, and interesting light is thrown on the bank's great fight with the President. Incidentally the book contains much matter bearing on the civilization and early history of Pennsylvania.
VESPER SERVICE.
Professor Gage, of Parsons Col- lege, who spoke in Chapel about a month ago, addressed the students again at Vespers on Sunday afternoon. He spoke upon the subject of "The Full Grown Man." He who would be strong, who would measure up to the full stature of man must first of all have control of himself. Many mighty men have failed in that they could not control themselves. * * * But however strong one may be, he would be stronger if the mind of Christ were in him. For in Him is the power that can give one that mastery over self, which is the first essential.

LAKE FOREST-ILLINOIS DEBATE.
(As seen by our Illinois Correspondent.)
The third time was again the charm — for Lake Forest. The college team on March 27 emigrated to the land of the "Foresters," where, on March 28, the question, "Resolved, that laws further restricting the immigra- tion of foreigners into the U. S. are inexpedient," was discussed. The Foresters won unanimously. The team reports the fellows at Lake Forest as a splendid bunch. A feed and smoker in the club rooms was given to the visiting team. The argu- ment would be interesting to those familiar with the question, but there would be the inclination to win the de- bate in print, so we take our medicine gracefully and shall work for a win- ning team next year. — The College Rambler.

REV. F. E. HIGGINS TALKS ON "LUMBER- JACKS."
At Chapel last Thursday, the Rev. Mr. Higgins, a "Sky-Pilot" of the Wis- consin woods, gave a very interesting talk on the life and work of the lumber- jack. His work is hard, lasting from before daylight till late at night, and requiring constant and strenuous ex- ertion; he has almost none of the com- forts and conveniences of civilized folk, his associates and environment are anything but elevating; but how- ever hardened he may become exter- nally, he still keeps within a heart big: with kindness.
THE SAILOR'S WIFE.
(After the French) An everwidening stretch of sea yawns deep Between the silent watcher on the shore And yonder boat so soon to disappear, Lost in the distant haze. What fate is his? Oh Sea! thy secret yield! Is he of those Who nevermore shall see the spray-dashed'
wharf — Leaving so boldly now without regret ? The wife well knows t he dangers which he
meets, The chance of lonely death ; with anxious gaze She tries to solve the ocean's mystery. But all in vain — altho the deep is calm And smiling in the rosy light of dawn. What hope is hers ? What, but uncertainty? Her child, a sailor's boy, already feels A fatal longing for the nau-s which lap About his feet and tos^ his tinv ships. Alas! The hungry sen demands them all— The fathers ne'er returned, it takes the sons!-

The Home Concert.
The Glee Club
Scores Greatest Triumph of Three Years.
The Home Concert of the Glee Club last Saturday night, was the greatest triumph of three years for the College Glee Club. Within those three years the Club has given many an excellent concert; but none have qnite equaled the Home Concert of the season of 1907. One of the largest audiences that has ever gathered in the Art In- stitute, and the most enthusiastic one that ever greeted the Club was in at- tendance, and the sympathetic interest which it evinced all through the pro- gram stimulated the men to their best efforts.
The program rendered was the one used on the spring trip, with but a few minor changes and additions; and although it had been heard by most of the College students, it was none the less enthusiastically received.
The raising of the curtain for the third number disclosed a novel scene: Seated in a room decorated with pen- nants and steins and made comfortable, or standing carelessly about a fire- pi ace, with only the firelight to lighten the dark of evening, were a group of Col- lege boys, singing their favorite songs. In this manner were sung "Guests of the Heart," "Bring the Wagon Home, John," and "A Song for Old Lake Forest."
Mr. Headley.the diminutive violin- ist, unfortunately took suddenly ill shortly before the concert, and so could not appear; but, fortunately, Mr Stevens, who had been the leader and violinist of the Glee Club for the two preceeding years, being in town, con- sented to play in his stead. It seemed very good both to the audience and the Glee Club men, to hear Mr. Stevens play again the Godard "Lullaby," and respond to encores with Pierne's "Sere- nade," and "The Last Rose of Sum- mer." Every time we hear Mr. Stevens play we regret that he has not seen fit to keep up his studies on the violin.
The Campus Medley, arranged by the leader R. G- Talcott, made a great hit. Its sudden and absurd changes from one to another song created con- siderable merriment among the audi- ence.
Mr. Brewster's voice was at its best and his selections were listened to with intense interest. His piano solos received scarcely less approval.
By request the "Child Elocution- ist" stunt was left over till the vaude- ville, and in its place Mr. Brewster sang "Oh, Dry Those Tears!" respond- ing to an encore with "My Rosary."
The work of both the readers was excellent. So much of Mr. Schwartz's

'German dialect reading has found its way into the everyday vernacular of the students that his appearance was awaited with great interest. Mr. Mun- ^er showed his exceptional ability and his versatility as a reader by present- ing two new readings, the one humor- ous, and the other very serious. As he had wished he closed his career for the Lake Forest College Glee Club with a serious reading.
With kindly regard for a bit of sentiment Mr. Talcott placed the Sen- ior members of the Club in front while they sang, perhaps for the last time with the Club, the Alma Mater Song. And then with a rousing cheer the concert was at an end.
WILLIAM T. STEAD ADDRESSES STUDENTS.
Mr. William T. Stead, Editor of the EnglishjReview of Reviews, a man well known in two continents as a journalist and as a promoter of inter- national peace, addressed an audience consisting of the students and faculties of the three departments of the University and a number of towns- people, at chapel last Monday noon. After his introduction by Dr. Barnes, who had met him frequently in educa- tional work, he talked on the subject nearest his heart, namely "International Peace."
"My message to you young peo- ple," he said, "is to ask you to have more faith in your country and in her -destiny. The old men are prone to Jose faith, but hope lives in the young.
* * * I believe that I have greater faith in America and in American ideals, than the average American.
* * * In days of despair and dis- couragement in my work, I have found the poems of Lowell" a cloud by day and a pillar Jof fire by night.' * * Lowell is the prophet of modern
times. Young people take him to your heart first. He has said 'God wills, man hopes.' * * * Ameri- cans have a special work — the Ameri- canization of the World, or in other words the bringing about the triumph of federation, of peace over war, and of the judge over the soldier, And it is my endeavor to arouse the Ameri- can people to this duty. * * *
Mr. Stead then gave the program which he believes can, and hopes may, be adopted at the coming Hague Con- ference.
1. An agreement among the powers to spend no more money this year than last, on armaments.
2. Arbitration for all differences of secondary importance.
In case of differences of primary importance, the laws of the duel shall govern any resort to arms. If after 30 days of mediation between two neu- tral powers, who shall act as seconds, no peaceable settlement can be arrived at, then let the disputants fight it out
To promote this program he de- sires to send an embassy of twelve of the foremost Americans to The Hague and to this end he is endeavoring to raise one hundred thousand dollars.
Miss Harriet Baker, of Chicago visited with Miss Wild over Saturday and Sunday.
It is reported that twenty-eight extra people ate Sunday dinner at Lois Hall.

Knox Wins Close Game.
With the number of hits and errors both in favor of Lake Forest, the game last Friday was lost to the Knox Col- lege team by the score of eight to seven. The game was close and inter- esting throughout, though at times both teams made costly errors. Up to the seventh inning the score was a tie, each side having two runs, but in this inning by two bases on balls and a hit Knox broke the tie by bringing in three men. Lake Forest's luck came in the eighth. Bases on balls, errors and a timely hit by Scott brought five men over the plate, and it looked as though the game was ours. Knox, however, took the lead in the ninth, and in the last of this inning our re- maining hopes were shattered when, with two men on bases, Wilson's fly to right field ended the game.

Saturday afternoon we meet Ar- mour Institute on Farwell Field in the first track meet of the season. Our track team is for the greater part com- posed of new men, and, owing to the adverse weather conditions, they have had little chance to show as yet what they can do.

THE OMEGA PSI DANCE.
The Omega Psi Fraternity gave its annual Promenade at the Winter Club last Friday evening. About fifty couples returned the verdict of "a bully fine time."
The decorations were of gold, green and black. Streamers of these colors canopied the overheadspace from rafter 'to rafter, and the walls
were draped with bunting of the same colors.
During the Omega Psi Extra the favors were given out. They were collapsible lanterns of many colored panes. All the lights were put out and the lanterns Uighted. Then the Promenade was held, illuminated by the .variegated fiickerings from the lanterns. It produced quite a pretty effect. The Promenade was led by Mr. George E. Michael and Miss Mar- ion McCandless.
Among the Omega Psi Alumni who came to attend the dance were Mr. Warren Henry Ferguson with his wife nee Elizabeth Daum, P. H. Stevens, Kendall Shankland and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hood.
Y. M. C. A.
The meeting of last Thursday evening was one of the strongest of the year. Palmer, who has lately joined the Association, told of the Association and its work as seen from the outside. One of the chief reasons for any lack of success has been a lack of aggressiveness. If the Y. M. C. A. is to appeal to the new men it must number among its workers the men who are foremost in the various phases of student life and enterprise. Although a criticism, for the most part, this talk was both helpful and sym- pathetic.

The Visit of Mr. Stead.
We count it a great and rare privilege to have such a man as Mr. William T. Stead, of "Review of Reviews" fame, visit our college com- munity and address us upon a subject in which he is a world authority. It is from such men that we get the truest meaning of life.
Mr. Stead is particularly welcome because of the greatness of his mission. He has come, firm in his faith in the ideals and destiny of America, to arouse her people and particularly her
youth to activity in the "war against war."
His particular field just now is- among the youth of our colleges and universities. He believes that upon them depends not only the future of this country, but the realization of his- hope for world-peace, and world- federation. And we are very proud that to Lake Forest College, first of all among western colleges, he has dis- closed his great hope and and purpose. If he could, in person, address the stu- dents of the chief institutions through- out, we doubt not but that he would wield the greatest influence of any single man, in the crusade for peace.
A Protest!
Had a stranger attended the baltf game last Friday, we fear that from the style of "rooting" that was in vogue,, he would have supposed that he was witnessing a high-school game.
We regret this prep, school method of rooting — getting down along third base line, and trying to rattle the op- posing pitcher by hooting and yelling at him — the more because, at least for the past three years, the conduct of Lake Forest supporters has been far more wholesome and sportsmanlike than that of the "rooters" of the aver- age college. It has been the distinc- tive mark of Lake Forest men in their athletic relations, that, whether win- ning or losing, they have treated their opponents with absolute fairness.

HORACE ODE 9 BOOK I.
Sonacte's peak, pure white with snow, Looks down on frosty fields below, The trees their weight can hardly hold; The sky is bitter cold.
Heap high the fire! Dissolve the cold! Bring out the wine that's four years old. Yes, Thaliarchus from the cups The very dregs we'll sup!
Leave all else to the gods in heaven, By whom our lives and joys are given, Who rule the winds, who by their will Can make the waves be still.
Put all tomorrow's cares away! Enjoy this life. Live for each day! My boy, spurn not the merry dance And love's alluring glance!
While you are strong to do or dare Untouched by age and wordly care, Seek youthful love at evening's gloom In some dim court or room.
Go, find your lass and bring her here — In play she's hiding somewhere near — Ha! now a forfeit she must pay;' Her laugh gives her away.
VESPER SERVICE.
In his introductory remarks at Ves- pers last Sunday Dr. Halsey expressed his gratification over our good fortune in having with us two of the patrons of the College, who have had interest enough in Lake Forest to send their sons here — Dr. Dickey, who offered the invocation, and Dr. Marquis, who delivered the sermon. Dr. Marquis' remarks, on "A Man's Work for Man," were directed almost entirely to the men — and the composition of his audi- ence, by the way, demonstrated very
clearly his contention that the men are filling less than one-third the pews of our churches today. With all regard for the ability, and the work of woman in the church, he said in substance, there are certain things that men alone can do. The church needs the vibrant tone of the man's voice in her music, and the vibrant tone of his nature in her work. She needs him to fill her offices, and to direct her business af- fairs. And most she needs him for his own sake — he alone can give his own testimony to the value of the Christian Religion.
Miss Nesbit, in her usual excellent style, sang "My Heavenly Home."
The members of the Lake Forest College Glee Club scored a distinct hit in Kenosha Tuesday night when they gave their concert at the Rhode opera house and while the crowd was not all that could be desired the program ren- dered was one of the best ever offered by an organization of college singers in the city. The glees were all well given and the solo work was especial- ly pleasing. The ensemble singing by the boys was equal to that seen in the concetrs given by the larger glee clubs of the country.
Kenosha rarely gets an opportuni- ty to get in touch with the music of the college boys and girls and it is regret- ted that a larger crowd did not attend the concert. — Kenosha Evening News.

SENIOR CLASS ENJOYS HAY-RIDE.
The class of '07 of the College, laying aside the proverbial dignity of a Senior Class, enjoyed a good old- fashioned hay-ride in the moonlight on Tuesday evening, April 23, in which neither the jolt nor the hay were lack- ing. After riding for two hours, they alighted at the home of Professor and Mrs. Bridgman, where, four years ago the same class had been welcomed after its first sleigh side.
Here the revelers were greeted also by Professor Burnap; and they were entertained with some exellent interpretations of the Canuck dialect by Miss Sizet, of Ferry Hall. After partaking of a welcome refreshment they departed, a happy and tired crowd.
DIGAMMA "OPEN HOUSE."

Akira Izumi, our Senior from Japan, gave an exhibition of Jiu-jitsu wrestling, and several friendly bouts with the boxing gloves were held — during one of which Blossom beat Bud's block off.
These Monday night open houses are getting so well liked that the men begin tojook forward to them. During the last month since this idea has been started, there has come to be a great increase in the general feeling of good- fellowship. More power to them!

On Tuesday evening Mrs. Clapp- gave a lecture recital before the mem- bers of the Aletheian Literary Society at Lois Hall. Her subject was "Folk Songs." She showed how each coun- try has different styles of folk songs which reflect the character of that people. She illustrated the lecture by" singing some of the folk songs of the different countries. The songs chosen ranged from the plaintive minors of Norway to the lighter and artificial ones of France.

MEN HOLD MASS MEETING.
At a mass meeting of the men of the College in the Chemistry Lecture- room, last Monday noon, the follow- ing resolutions addressed to the Faculty were presented and unanimously adopted:
To the Faculty of Lake Forest College:
We, the men of Lake Forest Col- lege, in view of the unnecessary de- struction of property, which took place on the night of April thirtieth, do hereby express our deep regret for, and hearty disapproval and condemna- tion of the actions of those who par- ticipated in the same, and our hope and belief that a sentiment has devel- oped that will make a repetition of such conduct impossible.
Inasmuch as it seems that the women of Lois Hall have undeservedly been bearing the burden of blame for
the actions of the student body on the morning of May first, we, the men of Lake Forest College, do hereby affirm our responsibility for the initiation and carrying out of the whole affair. We further declare that the women of the College took no part whatever in that which occurred on what is known as the men's campus.
Besides the above resolutions, the following resolution was framed and adopted condemning the action of student reporters, which results ire undesirable newspaper notoriety for the college:
Whereas, from tiaie to time, the student body of Lake Forest College has received undesirable notoriety in the newspapers through the ill-advised activity of student reporters. Be it
Resolved, by the men of the college in mass meeting assembled on this the sixth day of May, that such action

on the part of said reporters is inex- cusable; and that those guilty of any- such action in the future shall be summarily dealt with.
FRESHMAN DEBATE!
LaKe Forest Vs. Beloit.
The annual Freshman Debating Contest between Lake Forest College and Beloit College takes place at Beloit tomorrow.
This the second time that the two colleges have met in Freshman Debate. Last year, with a team composed of Schwartz, Brand, and H. T. Kess- ler, Lake Forest defeated Beloit by a unanimous decision of the judges. This defeat aroused consider- able regret in Beloit, where the stu- dents determined to blot out the humiliation by inflicting a similar de- feat upon us this year. With that end in view they have had their Freshmen team training assiduously for the last four months, and feel confident that they will turn the trick.
Lake Forest is represented by an exceptionally strong Freshman team this year, and it also has been in prepa- ration under the guidance of Mr. Bur- rill for the last two months. The team is composed of Harleigh Hartmann, Abraham Hennings, and Bruer, all of whom have had more or less prepara- tory school and literary society expe- rience, and are well equipped with ability in the forensic and a thorough grasp of the subject, which is to be: "Resolved, That, conceding the consti- tutionality, all corporations engaged in interstate commerce should operate under federal license."

SENIOR CLASS SELECTS PLAY.
At last, after a long search, the Senior Class has found a play worthy the talent it possesses. It is to be a radical departure from the Senior pro- ductions of the past few years, in that it is not a burlesque, but a legitimate drama. The play chosen is Henry V. Esmond's "One Summer's Day," a sprightly comedy, with just enough of pathos. It has an outdoor setting, which should make a very effective and beautiful play.

PHI PI EPSILON OPEN HOUSE.
The Phi Pi Epsilon Fraternity had its turn at holding Open House in its rooms last Monday night. Nearly all the men in the College were there and enjoyed the good cigars and "eats," and the singing of the Glee Club. Next week the Open House will be held at the Omeea Psi House.
The trustees of Lake Forest Col- lege have been peculiarly painstaking in their investigations of possibilities for the vacant presidency of the school, and the election of Dr. John Scholte Nollen is the outcome of a very care- ful process of sifting and selection. The board early determined to place over the college an experienced educa- tor,— a teacher by profession, who had already proved his gifts for inspiring •college young people with high ideals. JDr. Nollen they found at Bloomington, Ind., a member of the Presbyterian church there, and head of the depart- ment of the German language in the University of Indiana. He had been •commended to their attention by prominent educators who knew him and esteemed both his scholarship and his personality. Acquaintance with the man himself soon confirmed these favorable reports and his unanimous •election followed. The new president is a native of Pella, Iowa, and a graduate of the state university at Iowa City. After spending five years in post-graduate studies in German universities, he returned to become a teacher of German at his alma mater. Ten years of earnest work there were followed by the call to Indiana, where lie has been teaching for four years past. Dr. Nollen is still under forty, and stands now at the threshold of what his personal friends and the
friends of Lake Forest join in hoping is to be a most distinguished career in educational administration. — Interior, May 2.
VESPER SERVICE.
The Rev. Mr. Pease of Connecti- cut, a friend and relative of Professor Thomas, addressed a small audience of students at Sunday's Vesper Service. His theme centered in Christ's words, "Follow me and I will make you fish- ers of men." Everyone naturally loves to fish — but how much higher and better to fish for men! Christ and His Church need today active workers. It was said of them to whom He talked of old "Follow me" and they obeyed. What will you do?
The simplicity and the earnestness of the sermon were impressive.

Armour Vs. LaKe Forest.
With the temperature at about forty, a cold wind blowing from the lake and the field wet from Friday's snow, Lake Forest met Armour Insti- tute last Saturday in the first track meet of the season. The poor condi- tions under which the meet was held made the time or distance for every event wretchedly poor, but plenty of excitement was furnished by the close- ness of the score. Neither team was able to get a large lead at any time and the result was in doubt until the finish of the last event, the hammer throw, in which Igou and Benson were fight- ing for second place. Benson won and the three points went to Armour, making the final score fifty-four to fifty in her favor.
If the blame for the loss of the meet can be placed in any one event it is, without doubt, the quarter-mile dash. But one man from each team was en- entered, and the race proved so easy for VVestervelt that Lake Forest could have placed several men between him and the Armour runner.
Three monograms were won, Scott with eleven points, Jones with ten, and Westervelt with eight, winning a right to the letters.
Summary
loo-yard Dash — McKarahan (Ar- mour), first; Marquis (Lake Forest), second.
Pole Vault — Ralston (Lake For- est), first; Scott (Lake Forest), second.
Shot Put — Benson (Armour), first; Fitch (Armour), second.

on Farwell Field, Saturday. The team as a whole has been constantly improv- ing, and a much better showing is ex- pected than has been made so far.
TracK Notes.
Saturday afternoon, after the base- ball game, the track team will meet the Elmhurst College team in a dual meet. The team went into the Armour meet without having had a try out. With the knowledge gained in that meet as to the ability of the men on the squad, a much better balanced team will be in the field Saturday, and it is thought that the men will redeem themselves for last week's defeat.
Inter-Fraternity Games Begin.
The first of the inter-fraternity baseball games was played last Thurs- day between Digamma Alpha Upsilon and Omega Psi. The playing was such as is rarely seen on Farwell Eleld, and, after six innings of snappy ball play- ing, Omega Psi was returned the vic- tor.
The batteries were:
For Omega Psi — Harris and Keith- ley; for Digamma — Wilson and Jones.
The score:
Omega Psi 2 0501 6 — 14
Digajnma 3 1004 3 — 11
Kappa Sigma Vs. Phi Pi Epsilon.
The second of the inter-fraternity games was played last Monday and re- sulted in a shut out with Phi Pi Epsilon on the inside. Kappa Sigma put up a good game, but with five 'varsity play- ers on the opposing team the odds were too great. The feature of the game was the playing of Shroyer be- hind the bat and the batting of Palmer. Both players received loud ovations from the bleachers.

Show Your Spirit.
At the two baseball games that have been played here and at the track meet held last Saturday, one thing that was greatly in evidence was the lack of enthusiasm shown on the part of the spectators (they can scarcely be called "rooters"). The weather has not been good, we know, and we lost all three of these events, but it is under these conditions that the real rooter comes out and roots the hardest. It is then that the teams need the rooting the most. To judge from remarks heard on the bleachers and on the campus there seems to be plenty of enthusi- asm and every one seems to be behind the teams, but this will do little good unless it is shown, and at the proper time.
On Saturday next we meet Indi- ana University on the diamond and Elmhurst College in a dual meet after the ball game. To win both of these will mean a great deal to Lake Forest, and every one can help by giving his, or her, "moral support."
A better chance will not be found this spring to get together and prove that the genuine old Lake Forest spirit is still up and doing, so let's every one to the bleachers and get busy.

The May-Day Incident.
Among the comments called forth by the May-day Revel of last week, was a severe arraignment, by a mem- ber of the faculty, of college spirit and college loyalty among Lake Forest students. They are, it wai said, more demonstrative and less sincere in their patriotism, than the students of the average college. Their protestations of love for their Alma Mater are loud and frequent, but they possess but lit- tle meaning so long as the destruction of property continues. Unpleasant as
it was, we fear that there is some truth in the assertion.
We would be the last to see any great harm in occasionally decorating the campus with choice pieces of statu- ary, and the like, or even elevating a wagon to the top of a college hall porch; nor would we be hasty in ascrib- ing to the person of a professor & sacredness that would render him in- violate against the occasional pranks of the students. But we do heartily condemn the destruction of property;, and we do believe the members of the faculty worthy the respect sufficient to- insure their property against such treatment as it received at the hands of a few last week. The destruction of college property is, certainly, a queer way to make good our professions of loyalty.
It is, however, "an ill wind that blows no one good." Tne excesses of the last night of April are to be depre- cated and condemned; but those very excesses have developed among the student-body a sentiment against "rough housing" that will make a repe- tition of such vandalism all but impos- sible.
LAKE FOREST GLEE CLUB CLASSES WITH YALE CLUB.
We are glad to publish the follow- ing communication from an old friend of the College:
May 3, 1907. To the Editor of The Stentor.
Dear Sir: I attended your con- cert on the invitation of Professor Halsey and found many of my family there. On Sunday after the service at church they called at the house and the general verdict on the concert was "grand", "equal to Yale Glee Club"r which I could endorse as I had heard them myself.

THE SMALL COLLEGES.
The Madison Journal, published at the seat of the University of Wiscon- sin, comments as follows on the sub- ject of small colleges:
"The small colleges are coming in- to their own, so fast, indeed, that presently they will not be small col- leges, and those who believe that the small institution offers greater advan- tages than the large one, will have no- where to turn. Columbia college has but ninety freshmen in the college of arts and letters this year, Harvard's freshmen, which in 1902 exceeded 700, are barely 600 this year, while Wil- liams college, which did not have quite 100 in 1902, now has 175 freshmen. Dartmouth has nearly 1000 students today, where it had 600 six years ago. Here in Wisconsin, for two years Beloit college has enrolled a freshman class of over 125. The growth of Lawrence university has been even faster and a strong institution is developing there in the north of the state. Ripon is growing rapidly after years of stand-still. The idea that used to prevail that you got more instruction in a big college than at a smaller one, is about as sensible as a theory that you could eat more in a large dining room than in a small one. Human capacity, intellectually and alimentrry, is a constant quantity. The big institution in general does not give more instruction to the individual but the same instruction to more individuals."

In a game of ball that would have been a disgrace to a town lot team, Lake Forest was beaten by Evanston Academy Saturday by a score of 23 to 3. The one redeeming feature of the farce was the steady pitching of Muntz, who, without any semblance of support -or encouragement, played his game to the end. It is hoped that the Academy -can present better sport to its patrons in the future.
The production of "An Academy Cupid" by the Dramatic Club in the Gymnasium Saturday night was, with- out doubt, the histrionic success of the year. The large audience was kept laughing from start to finish. It is useless to mention individual charac- ters as every one starred. The Acad- emy orchestra which played between acts came in for its share of applause. The stage built by the students, was ample and attractive. Much credit is due the club as well as Mr. Crawford and Mr. Ferguson for working out such an attractive evening.

The meeting on Monday evening was opened by devotional exercises led by Mr. Crouch. Short impromptu talks were then made by nearly all the members present. May Day, '06 and '07, were interesting subjects discussed by E. Berkheiser, Caswell, C. Whar- ton, Loeb, and Porter. Craig and Crouch pictured the joys of collecting laundry bills. They both were of the opinion that it was "very pleasant" work. The value of "Vigity" and shredded wheat were never fully ex- plained to us until "Abe" Hennings was seen and heard. As he say?, "I am a living testimonial." Plowing, planting, and harvesting corn is "Life on an Indiana Farm," according to R. Wharton. The meeting next Monday evening, will be the last one this year.

This play, which is classed as a romantic comedy, is thoroughly American in both its- atmosphere and treatment, and is said to be a most striking blending of love and sacrifice.

Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! This sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gather'd now like sleeping flowers; For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not. ---Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn; So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;

iSemi-Centennial to be Celebrated
Celebration of Fiftieth Anniversary of Granting
of University Charter to Take Place During
Commencement Week. Alumni Interested.
Plans are maturing for a big cele- bration of the fiftieth anniversary of the granting of the University char- ter. It has been under consideration, but a definite announcement has been delayed until very recently when invi- tation announcements were sent out to the Alumni.
The celebration is to take place on Alumni Day, Tuesday, June 18, under the auspices of the Alumni, and conducted by Acting President Hal- sey. The return of a large number of old students is expected. The follow- ing is the
PROGRAM OF THE DAY.
Morning and afternoon — Class re- unions and informal meetings — Cam- pus and Alumni Room.
2:30 p. m. — Baseball game, "Evens" Lewis, '00, captain, vs. "Odds," Hay- ner, '95, captain, — Farwell Field.
5:00 p. m. — President's reception — Durand Art Institute.
6:30 p. m. — Alumni dinner ($1.00); unusually strong program; Trustee nomination — Lois Durand Hall.

The following personal invitation from Dr. Halsey is being sent to every old student: — My Dear Friend:
On the 19th of June 1907, we will celebrate the jubilee of the charter
foundation of Lake Forest University, in 1857. -A-s we look forward to that Commencement celebration it is the desire of everyone responsible for its success to make that occasion specifi- cally an alumni day. The Rev. Edgar P.Hill, D. D , of McCormick Theologi- cal Seminary, who is an old time Lake Forest man, and whose fame as a pub- lic speaker is in all the churches, will deliver the Commencemet Address on the nineteenth . The Alumni Asso- tion is seeking to make specially at- tractive the program for the Alumni Dinner on the evening of the eigh- teenth. Dr. John S. Nollen, the Presi- dent-elect of the University, will be the guest of the University during those closing days, and will bear a conspicu- ous part in the celebration, taking up the administration immediately after- ward.
With these special features to ren- der the closing days of 1906-07 attrac- tive, we feel confident that the alumni, so far as possible, will make a special effort to come to us on the eighteenth and nineteenth of June, and to help to make this semi-centennial occasion a great success, as well as a harbinger for the future that we are hoping to enter upon at that time.
Fraternally yours,
John J. Halsey.

Baseball.
The baseball team played three games last week, Thursday at Mon- mouth, Friday at Galesburg and Satur- day at home. Lake Forest lost the first game by the large score of fifteen to two. Hits, errors and a grand bal- loon ascension, with a strange field, good crowd of "raggers" and hot weather caused a very listless game. The Monmouth team batted hard and their hits with costly errors piled up the score. Only in three or four inn- ings did Lake Forest get down to busi- ness and play real ball.
The score:
Lake Forest o i ooo i oo o — 2
Monmouth o 60 6 3 o o o o — 15
Friday's game with Knox College was a great improvement over that of the previous day as the score will testify. In a way the game was unique as the score was the same as that of the previous game with them, and in that Knox won both in the ninth inning. Callahan pitched and, considering that it was his first appear- ance as a college twirler, did excep- tionally well, letting Knox down with but six hits while Bacon, Knox's star pitcher, allowed Lake Forest nine. Until the last of the ninth inning Lake Forest was one run to the good, but a base on balls to Hilding, and a two base hit by Howell put men on second and third and the two necessary runs were brought in on long flies, winning the
game for Knox after Lake Forest had, it seemed, won in a long up-hill fight.

While the ball team was playing Indiana on Farwell Field, the track team met Elmhurst College on the Academy. The meet turned out to be a "walk-away" for Lake Forest, the Elmhurst athletes not being able to secure a single first and but five second places. Probably the prettiest race
was the mile run in which , of
Elmhurst, rau well but was finally dis- tanced by Dawson. A cold wind made record breaking out of the question, but, considering the conditions, the times made were good. The final score was seventy-three to fifteen in favor of Lake Forest.

The 1908 Forester, which appeared just as we were going to press last week, has by this time been so thor- ouhgly perused by our readers that it has already become an old story. We cannot pass it by, however, without some mention and some commendation of the hard work that has been put into it by the Board of Editors.
The cover of the book has evoked considerable comment, pro and con. We like it, perhaps more particularly because the color scheme is in line with the College colors. As to its
make-up, the book has never been sur- passed, and, in some ways, never equaled. The views though fewer than last year, are nevertheless larger and placed to better advantage, and the reading matter is very well arranged.
No annual is at its best unless it presents an excellent appearance; but ultimately the worth of any book de- pends upon its contents — and herein this year's Forester is unusually strong.. The editors have introduced, amongf others, two innovations that have made this year's book distinctive. The office of statistician has been created, an ex- pedient, which has greatly lightened the routine work of the editor-in-chief and has improved the book; and sil- houettes have been substituted in place of photographs of the Juniors.
There are many other things that might be mentioned and commended; but suffice it to say that the Class of 1908 and its Board of Editors are to be congratulated upon the excellence of Volume XI. of the Forester. They have upheld well the high standard of Lake Forest College Annuals.
The Baseball Trip.
Just now, after a series of almost unbroken defeats for the baseball team, the entire student body and the team itself are on the verge of despair- Defeat is getting bitter. We are weary of finding excuses for defeat. Perhaps the very bitterness of defeat is a good omen. May its sting stimulate us to the greater efforts. We have been called "good losers" — we are tired of being losers, whether good or bad.
But, even with such a prospect, there is a bit of consolation. A Lake Forest team is always handicapped by the inclemency of the weather; and particularly this spring has that been the case. Moreover ours is an amateur

team pitted against teams most of whose players have avowedly played professional baseball. We do not offer these as excuses for all our de- feats; but that they may save us from the despair that gives up.
We are glad to publish* from time to time some of the work of the English classes. The following comes from one of the students:
"EL DORADO"
(Taken from Stevenson's "El Dorado")
How strange a picture do we make Traveling on in vain Toward some goal — we know not what, We never can attain.
No nearer should we find at last That place— o'er lands and seas, Could we possess the powers of Gods And live for centuries.
O feet unwearied, travelling on,
O toiling sons of men,
Soon, soon it seems you must gain the
crest And El Dorado, then!
Your blessedness ye never know For to travel with hopefulness Is a better thing than to arrive, And to labor|is true success.
A popular man must be easy and affable And never do anything bookish or laughable,
Must live without friction, Be plain in his diction And, like a good fellow, pay up his subscript ion. ---Ex.
BRIEF COLLEGE ITEMS.
At Princeton so much interest has been evinced in canoeing that a canoe club has been formed.
Freshman track teams at Cornell and Pennsylvania will have dual meet next Saturday.
Chicago freshmen have a baseball team which is playing games with the freshmen of other institutions. They recently suffered defeat at the hands of the Illinois freshmen at Urbana.
The Illinois legislature appropriated the following bills for state university buildings Tuesday: physics laboraty. $250,000; addition to National history building, 150,000; Administration build- ing, $15000. — Cardinal.

Mr. Lewis spoke at the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of Evanston Academy Wednesday.
At the beginning ot this week the house baseball league stood as fol- lows: Durand won 4, lost 0; Remsen lost 3; won 1; East lost 3, won 1.
Ward Waters won second place and a gold medal at the Northwestern University Interscholastic declamation contest Friday night. There were ten schools represented in the contest.
Last Saturday the Academy beat Armour II to 10 in an 11 inning game at Armour field. The Lake Forest battery was Thomas and Taylor. The League standings now are Morgan Park 1000, Evanston 666, Lake Forest 500, Armour OGO.
The Academy won 11 points at the Northwestern University Inter- scholastic meet last Saturday. Schnur won first in the high hurdles in the record time of 16 1-5. Bedell won second in the shot put, third in j^the hammer and fourth in the discus. On account of ^injuries Schnur could not enter any other events beside the hurdles. Had he been] in condition Lake Forest would probably have captured the meet as 17 points took it.
A great many people are asking the question "Is Durand Cottage to be re-built." Well rather. f|In a grow- ing school buildings out of commission are not at a premium, so this one will be put back into shape with^the great-
est possible dispatch. "Keep things moving" is the present] Academy motto. There was no confusion, no panic the day of the fire. Recitations went on as usual, students found new quarters quickly and by night no one would have suspected that the school had been through a great disaster.
HARLAN WINS BALL GAME AT 74.
Justice Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court, aged 74, made a home run and won the game in a baseball contest at the annual shad bake given by the Washington Bar Association at Marshall Hall, Md., Saturday.
When Justice Harlan went to the bat the score was a tie, and the umpire had called two strikes and three balls. It was a critical and exciting moment. Justice Harlan smashed the sphere a wicked swat to deep center. He started around the bases and his leg work was really marvelous. His sprinting qualities surprised and de- lighted the fans, who were wild with enthusiasm. The ball went over the head of the center fielder and was lost in the tall grass. Before it was recov- ered Justice Harlan had reached the home plate, where he stood sipping a mint julep which had been prepared hurriedly for the agile Kentuckian as a reward for lining out a four-base hit.
"Home Run" Harlan already has received offers of contracts from a num- ber of ball teams who are weak at the bat. — Record-Herald.
Success mixture — muscle and hus- tle, brains and method.

Henry C. King, President of Ober- lin College — We have organized among the men of the institution what is called a "Student Senate." My own feeling has been that our wisdom lay in letting that body feel its way along to its most successful work, rather than in trying to lay out everything that it was to do beforehand. At present I think its greatest function will be as an intermediary body between students and faculty, but it may come to serve considerably greater functions in time. — The Lawrentian.

Ball Team Fails to Win.
In the three games played last week Lake Forest's hoodoo remained unbroken and the results were "as usual." In the first two games we out-batted our opponents and in the last, broke even with seven hits apiece, but in two of these games we also "out- errored" our opponents and in all three we "also ran."

The Visit of the Laymen.
The coming to our midst last Saturday of the laymen of the Presby- terian churches of Chicago marks the beginning of a new movement that should prove scarcely less fruitful in good results for us than is the "New Student Movement" already proving.
It is a significant fact that these men, not merely the representatives of a great cnurch, but men of great influence in the business and industrial circles of Chicago, should take the
time and be so interested as to come and visit us.
It is only too true that Lake For- est College, though widely known throughout the country, is scarcely known in the great city at our very doors. These men have come as our guests; have seen; and were conquered. Many of them have pledged themselves to do what they can for Lake Forest. If they live up to their words, and we believe they will, a power and an in- fluence greater than we realize has been enlisted in our behalf! Our Alma Mater has taken another step toward her self-realization.
Upon inquiry it appears that, al- though the visit of the laymen was a spontaneous one, it was largely brought about through the efforts of Mr. Cro- zier. We cannot but acknowledge the service he has done the institution in initiating a movement from which we have such large hopes.
May 20, 1907. My Dear Mr. Wilson:
I find in the Forester recently published some errors in the article concerning the Zeta Epsilon Society, which should be corrected. The Ath- enaean Society was organized Novem- ber 24, 1876, and originally included both men and women. The Zeta Ep- silon Society originated in the seces- sion of a portion of the men in the Athenaean in January, 1880, and on the 23d of September, 1880, the women organized the Aletheian.
As to the Glee Club: In 1S87 a glee club was organized in the College and was announced in the first num- ber of the Stentor, June, 1887, as "now prepared to sing anything from 'A Hole in the Bottom of the Sea' to 'The Soldier's Farewell.' " In the fol- lowing fall — that is, 1887 — the officers
THE STENTOR
324
elected for this glee club were E. F. Dickinson, President; W. W. Johnson, Traasurer; and B. M. Linnell, Secre- tary and Manager. Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Johnson were Athenaeans, and Mr. Linnell a member of the Zeta Ep- silon, which would seem to indicate that the first glee club had the College rather than the society in its origin. In 1889 Mr. William Humiston, of the class of 1891. organized the Zeta Epsi- lon Glee Club, which began that year to go out of town and give concerts. This club was reorganized in 1894 as the Lake Forest Glee Club, and con- tinues to the present day.
The writer in the Forester says that same year, 1891, the Zeta Epsilon published the "Red and Black." the parent of the present day STENTOR. The fact is that the first STENTOR was published in June, 1887, and the paper has come out through the college year regularly ever since, the Red and Black having been started by the Zetas in 1891 as a rival to the STENTOR, which had come under the control of Athe- naean men. That year in which the two papers existed side by side was productive of some splendid journalism in Lake Forest, both papers being con- ducted throughout that college year in a most attractive and successful way. Very sincerely yours,
John J. Halsey.
To the Editor:
There seems to be a lot of un- necessary "knocking" going on about the campus just now in regard to the succession of reverses that the base- ball team has suffered. Now knock- ing is a good |thing — sometimes. Knocking is a "raw deal", to every- body at all times. Never more so than now. The only reason that a College man ought ever have to knock
the baseball team that is representing his College on the diamond, is his devout interest in his Alma Mater's welfare; and when that is the incentive the "knocking" is somewhat justifiable, provided that it allays a curable evil. But is there a curable evil in the base- ball situation? Have we not the best team that we can get up out of the men who have presented themselves as candidates. Is not every man on the team playing the best game that he can? Have we not the best sche- dule that the College ever had? And is it not getting less support than any College team in the country? And are there not several men that ought to be out trying for the team lying about doing nothing except telling how the team ought to be run and how they would play the game if they wanted to. Now this "rapping" ought to quit. To be sure we have been defeated, but dare anyone say that the games were thrown away? There is no fault to be found except that we have not suffi- cient baseball material in the college to compete with the teams of other colleges — and that our baseball luck is wonderful in its absence.
Rather than "knocking" we ought to be proud of our team because of the game fight they have been putting up in spite of adverse sentiment at home. It were far better for the "mugwumps" hereabouts to see what "boosting" might do in this uphill fight of our baseball team. Let us give the Cap- tain, Manager and the entire team our heartfelt cooperation vvhether the)' win or lose and we shall find much more satisfaction at the end of the sea- son than we shall if we continue this prep, school attitude of finding fault and doing nothing to right it.

He cited as some of the reasons that so many col- lege men are studying the Bible, that in the face of the numberless Biblical allusions in literature, a knowledge of the Bible is necessary to an apprecia- tion of that literature; that it is the -great aid for him who is fighting temp- tation— it shows him how to fight; that therein is found the way of life; and that there, and there only, they may learn of the man Christ.

GEORGE WILLIAM WRIGHT AT CHAPEL.
The Rev.

He spoke from the fullness of a long and helpful serv- ice in the Islands.
He spoke first of the pleasurable surprise that he has experienced in meeting so far across the waters some of those whom he had known in his college clays. Indeed, Lake Forest has quite a colony of her sons there — a representation of which she may be proud.
Perhaps no government has ever undertaken so huge a task, as have we in taking the Philippines; but no enter- prise of ours has succeeded so well. We know not yet what the ultimate outcome i- to be but we know that we have given them justice in place of in- justice, peace for confusion, sanitation for filthiness, kindness instead of Span- i-h cruelty. From us they have re- ceived freedom of speech, freedom of the press, free schools, freedom of worship, none of which the}7 enjoyed under the Spanish regime. It has been worth while.

THE BEGINNINGS OF STUDENT SELF- GOVERNMENT.
Acting upon the suggestion of Acting- President Halsey, which comes as a result of the May-Day disturbance, the men of the Junior and Senior classes, met together a week ago last Tuesday to discuss the possibility of formulating and securing some method of self-government After consider- able discussion pro and con, this body adjourned without definite action, to meet again last Monday afternoon.
Upon re- assembling they decided to submit to the men of the student body the following propositions:
1. That the men of the student body indemnify, to the extent of fifty dollars, the University for damages to property resulting from the May-Day celebration.
2. That a committee shall be es- tablished consisting of the men of the Senior and Junior classes, together with two representatives each from the the two lower classes, which com- mittee shall endeavor rightly to direct the trend of student opinion; and at all times to guard the honor and welfare of the College.
These two propositions were sub- mitted to all the men of the college in mass-meeting assembled last Monday afternoon and were unanimously adopted.
The plan, it is true, is very vague and indefinite; and all details are yet to be worked out. Indeed it is doubt- ful whether a working plan can be secured this year. But nevertheless it is a step, and a long one, toward the betterment of the morale of our col- lege community.

BELOIT FRESHMEN WIN UNANIMOUSLY IN DEBATE WITH LAKE FOREST.
(Reprinted from the Beloit Round Table)
In the third college debate of the year, held at the Baptist Church on Friday, May 10, the Freshmen team closed the season with a unanimous victory. Both sides showed a wide familiarity with the question and their arguments for and against the federal license of corporations clashed in true debating style. In general, however, the points brought up by the Lake Forest men lacked that unity of corre- lation which made so effective the work of their opponents; they failed to push home and clinch the really important arguments which they presented.
Harleigh H. Hartman, in opening the debate for the affirmative, argued that government supervision of cor- porations to be efficient must keep pace with industrial centralization, but his thought was far too general to affect the special issue in question. The leader of the Beloit team, Mr. Lyons, followed with a clear, incisive state- ment of what the affirmative must prove in justifying federal license, and then proceeded to show that such a scheme was unnecessary. Taking up successively rebates, over-capitaliza- tion, campaign contributions, etc., he explained how state control supple- mented by additional specific federal legislation was at present supplying all needed regulation. His argument was based wholly on facts and could not be successfully controverted.
After Mr. Lyons came the most vigorous speaker of the affirmative, A. J. Hennings. In order to establish the necessity of government licenses, he brought out the fact that states such as Delaware, New Jersey, and West Vir- ginia, by relaxing corporation laws for the sake of patronage and revenue,
THE STENTOR
33^
irreparably weaken state control. Nu- merous instances of over-capitalization also were cited, although it was not made clear just how the adoption of federal license would remedy these evils.
The debate was then continued for Beloit by Mr.- Wackman. Federal license received another heavy blow at his hands and the charge that it would be complex, cumbersome, and open to graft or evasion, seriously embarrassed his opponents. They did not begin to answer all the objections which Mr. Wackman established.
The ablest work of the Lake For- est men came out in the next speech by C. A. Bruer. In spite of a lack of freedom in expression, he showed a keen appreciation of the weaknesses in the negative argument. Had he estab- tablished fully the point which he sug- gested— that the license bureau was to have simply the right of inspection and regulation without attempting the stu- pendons task which Mr. Wackman out- lined— his remarks would have been very effective. Lloyd Maurer closed the constructive debate with the strongest speech of the evening. Al- though his proposition that absolute federal licensing power is a menace to the American system of local self-gov- ernment was a difficult argument to present, the energy and fire with which the speaker delivered it had a very telling effect in rounding out the de- bate.
Of the two rebuttal speeches made by the leaders of the teams, that of Mr. Lyons was far superior and the force and smoothness with which he summar- ized the debate as a whole, left little doubt of the result in the minds of the audience. All in all, the debate this year is pronounced by many to have been the best Freshman contest of a
college generation. The polish and ease with which the Beloit men pre- sented their arguments, promises much for the college debates of the next generation. We have every reason to be proud of our igio debating team

The story of the Depauw game Thursday is somewhat different. Lake Forest out-hit Depauw but, as fre- quently happens at Greencastle, there was more than the Depauw team to reckon with, namely, the umpire. Lake Forest was in the lead until the seventh inning, when several decisions that were obviously rank, brought the aforesaid officiai into the limelight and retired the Red and black with the small end of an eight to five score.

Friday the team played Indiana State Normal at Terre Haute, and the game was the closest of the series A base on balls, two errors and a timely hit brought in two runs for Lake For- est in the first inning.
Normal crowded in two scores in the fourth, but two more hits in the sixth gave another run to Lake Forest and ended the scoring for the game. Normal managed to give us a scare in the last of the ninth when, with two men down, she got men on first and second. Reeves hit to Keithley, who threw low to first, but Baker made a pretty stop and ended the game with Lake Forest at last at the big end of the score.

Fourth Annual Meet a Success.
Lake Forest College held her Fourth Annual Inter.-cholastic Track and Field Meet last Saturday. The prep, school athletes arrived in the morning, took lunch at the College Commons and displayed their athletic ability in the afternoon.
Four days of almost continual rain made the track heavy and the field slippery but the average records were good and in spite of the adverse con- ditions three Lake Forest Interscholas- tic records were broken. Two of these were smashed by Bedell, Lake Forest's star weight man, who raised his own record in the hammer throw by five feet and also beat the shot put record of forty-three feet four inches made by Giffen, of Joiiet, last year by more than a foot. The other record was broken when the Oak Park relay team ran the half-mile in one minute forty- two and a fifth seconds.
In the meet, Oak Park High School and Lake Forest Academy took the lead from the start and the fight for first place was between these two schools but the result was in doubt until the last.
Oak Park scored five points to Lake Forest's four but Lake Forest took enough second and third places to make the final score thirty-eight to thirty in her favor
North Division and Chicago Latin were tied for third place with thirteen points apiece. Evanston Academy scored ten points, New 1 Tier nine and the University School four while Evanston High School was shut out entirely.
Bedell and Savage were the indi- vidual stars of the meet, the former

The Stentor Election.
The annnal election of the Sten- tor Hoard, according to the rules adopted last spring, is set for a week from next Tuesday, June 1 1. For the edification of our readers, we print herewith the rules governing the elec- tion.
We think it not a very excellent system of election; but on the whole we deem it better to let it obtain, rather than stir up the almost yearly agitation for a new election system.
The committee from the Senior class, which is to have charge of the
election as the rules provide, has been duly chosen, and is as follows: Wilson (chairman), Caswell, Munger, and Keithley.
It should be observed that the names of all candidates for the STEN- TOR Board must be handed to the chairman of this committee by next Tuesday, June 4. We are in error in not having made this announcement before; but there is yet ample time for candidates to send in their names.
In next week's issue will appear a table giving the amount of copy con- tributed by the members of the Board and the Reportorial Staff for the cur- rent year.
The rules of election are as fol- lows:
First:
The Stentor Board shall consist of five undergraduate students, who shall be elected annually by ballot.
Second:
The election shall take place on the second Tuesday in June. Third:
The Senior Class shall appoint a representative committee from its own members, which shall be empowered to have complete charge of all nomi- nations and elections.
Fourth:
Nominations for places on the STENTOR Board shall be made as follows:
I. Any student, wishing to be- come a candidate for any position on the STENTOR Board, shall present in writ- ing his name and the position for which he wishes to be a candidate, to the chairman of the Senior Committee at least one week before the election.
THE STENTOR
336
II. No student shall be considered a candidate who does not signify his intention as thus specified.
III. One week before the election
the nominations shall be closed. The Senior Com- mittee shall then publish the full list of the candidates. This list shall remain posted upon the college bulletin boards for one week preced- ing the election.
IV. If at the time of the closing of
nominations no candidate has appeared for any position the Senior committee shall have the power of selecting a candidate for that position.
V. The details of each particular election shall be regulated by the Senior Committee hav- ing the election in charge.

THE RACE.
•Old Mother Nature was planning re- volt,
For she said, "I've become such a stu- pid old dolt,
Ah! 'tis only too true!
For routine has ruled, all my life, every action;
There surely must be some way of re- traction.
Now, what shall I do?"
'Twas just New Year's eve, and the
days, you must know, Were being arranged in the way they
should go
All the year. Some were clad all in furs, some were
clad all in white, Some looked pensive and sad, some
looked cheerful and bright, Sweet and dear.
As they stood all in line and ready to start
In their solemn procession, way down in each heart
They wished they might run.
Then dear Mother Nature, quick glee in her face,
Said, "I have it — we'll have a gay run- away-race!"
They cried, "Oh! what fun!"
The hopped up with joy, and danced
round with fun, And every wee day was so eager to run That he laughed out with glee. Dear Mother Nature kissed each one
good-bye, And gave them the signal to start at the cry
"One, two, three"!
Well, they raced, and they scrambled, and tumbled, and ran;
One dear little summer-clad August- man
Was way, way ahead.
He stopped where a March-man usu- ally came,
And the March-man, filled with the joy of the game,
Out into May sped.
The whole crew of February ran into
May, Two or three Aprils chased a June day
Hard and fast; 'Till all of the months were hopelessly
mixed, And they never did get very properly fixed,
At the last.
Mother Nature no longer feels stupid and old,
But is it so strange that we shiver with cold
Here in May?
But the dear old revolter's so pleased with her joke
That we beg of you all, ye good- hearted folk, Just be gay!

The Westleigh cup, presented by Mis. Swift, in May, 1905, was contested for Tuesday afternoon by the classes of Ferry Hall, in the third annual Field Day. Early in the day, or, in fact,. Monday evening, class spirit made it- self noticeable in the hoisting of class banners and the struggle to keep them there. Tuesday afternoon the back balcony was divided among the classes in the traditional way and each section was decorated in the class colors. Be- side, class flags floated from the flag- staff, the smokestack, the eaves of Smith Hall, telephone poles, and the roof of the Annex; and three classes had mascots: the Juniors, Master Benny Herschberger; Junior Preps., a Teddy Bear; and Sophomores, Myrtle Jaeger and her dog.
The following are the results of the contest:

Phe Alumni celebration plans are daily growing. A ball game,' play, band concert, and banquet are all to be crowded into one hilarious afternoon and evening. June i^th.
The fine showing of the Academy track team in the meet last Saturday and the winning of Morgan Park at Michigan makes the Inter-academc at Armour next Friday of great impor- tance. The winner of this meet has strong claim to leadership among the western academies and high schools.
Lake Forest Academy's victory in the Interscholastic Meet Saturday was a great surprise to many. Oak Park won the l'eloit Interscholastic, and was iresh from victory in the Illinois Uni- versity meet. The "Dope" was all in her favor. Oak Park missed Randolph, her star sprinter, but Lake Forest evened things up by losing Schnur, who would have been good for many points.
Yale is not so anxious now to com- pete with Oxford in a track meet. The Englishmen are particularly strong this season.

The Actorines The Climax
The concensus of public opinion was that the show was one of the best ever given in Lake Forest.
Not one number in the entire pro- gram suffered from inattention. From the time that Miss Nesbit opened the performance to the King Dodo finale by the Actorines, the show was inter- esting and the audience was most lib- eral with its applause.
Without detracting from the great excellence of all the performers, one canno-t refrain fronvgiving special men- tion to the Cutler Twins, who were the the feature of the 'Izumi Concert Com- pany, and to the Actorines, who were never funnier.
Every one in the College that was "rag'able was judiciously and suffi- ciently ragged, and everybody left the hall with the feeling of having spent a very pleasant evening, where bubbling humor and pertinent wit ran high.
Withal the saddest part of the Show is the realizarion that Palmer and Shroyer are never again to grace the boards of the Art Institute in their perfumed Actorine stunt. It might be well, however, to state here that they may be seen soon at the Illinois in a new musical comedy by "Lemon" Ade-

FRESHMAN - SOPHOMORE DECLAMATION CONTEST.
The annual Freshman-Sophomore Declamation Contest took place Tues- day evening, May 28, in Reid Memo- rial Chapel, with Dr. Halsey acting as chairman. Those who attended, small in numbers as usual, heard an unusu- ally good contest. There is rarely a contest but has its weak parts — this had none. Every one of the eight contestants was thoroughly familiar with both the spirit and the letter of his declamation. The judges, Miss Brown of Ferry Hall, Mr. Lewis of the Academy, and Professor John M. Clapp of the College, awarded the favors, first, to Mr. Bruer, '10; and sec- ond, to Mr. Waldorf, '09. The Mc- Pherson Declamation Prize of twenty- five dollars was awarded Mr. Bruer for the best oratorical declamation.
This contest differed from most of its predecessors in that but one from Lois Hall appeared on the program, and in that there were no dramatic readings. If any criticism may be offered, it is that a series of eight ora- torical declamations tends to become monotonous to the auditors.
Miss Reynolds opened and closed the program with two excellent organ solos.

Election TaKes Place Next Tuesday Noon.
The annual election of a STENTOR Board will take place immediately after Chapel on Tuesday next, in accordance with the Rules of Election adopted last year. The list of candidates for the various positions on the Board has been posted since last Tuesday. It is as follows:
For Editor-in-Chief —
Horace F. Harvey, '08. S. Peter Robineau, '09. For Manager- Floyd L. Berkheiser, '08. John O. Young, '10. For News Editor —
Harry W. Otto, '08. Elmer O. Thompson, '10. For Athletic Editor — Joseph L Lusk, '09. William B. Marquis, '09. For Literary Editor —
Harry E. Carlson, '08. William H. Igou, '10. We think it rather a reflection upon the interest of the student body in STENTOR affairs, that the Senior Committee of Election has had some little difficulty in getting two candi- dates for each office.
O, do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle.

Saturday evening, June the first, a chorus of young women from the Association House, Chicago, gave a cantata, "The Garden of Flowers" at the Art Institute to a large and well pleased audience. The artistic arrange- ment of the stage, which was beauti- fully decorated with branches and ■flowers, added much to the effective- ness of the rendition. Especially pleasing were the numbers of Miss Maria Helgesen, soprano, given in her usual charming manner. Miss Helge- sen is well and favorably known in Lake Forest and her selections were enthusiastically received.

WABASH SHUT OUT.
Hoosiers Let Down Without a Hit.
Lake Forest defeated Wabash Col lege last Saturday in the best game that has been played on Farwell Field for many days. Keithley pitched a great game and was given excellent support, with the result that Wabash was let down without a hit or run to her credit. In the third inning only did the visitors look at all dangerous. They succeeded in getting men on second and third with two outs, but Adams struck our and ended the inning.
Lake Forest started in the first in- ning with a rush. Scott singled and stole second. Keithley followed with a base on balls and Callahan got to first on an error. Stoltz singled, Baker took another base on balls and the side was not retired until three men had crossed the plate. Lake Forest took another run in the fourth and one more in the fifth, which ended the scoring for the game.
In the fifth inning Lake Forest had three men on bases with no outs and because of poor base running scored but one run. This was the only incident that marred the playing of the home team.
The team was crippled by the loss of Captain Milner at third, but the men worked together well and made but
two errors, neither of which were costly, Callahan's work on second base de- serves mention, as out of eleven chances he made but one error.
A "no hit no run" game seldom occurs in college baseball, and to have pitched one against such a hard hitting team as Wabash has is a stunt that Keithley may well be proud of.

BASEBALL SCHEDULE FINISHED.
Will Probably End Today.
The baseball team meets St. Igna- tius College on Farwell Field this afternoon in what will probably be the last game of the season. Two more games are scheduled but as the end of the school year is so near it has been thought best to cancel them.
The team is in excellent condition now, as was shown in the Wabash game and they are confident of ending the season with a victory.
Inter-Class Games.
The inter-class baseball games, which always attract a great deal of interest during the last part of the year, will be played soon. The Fresh- man-Sophomore game will probably be played this week.
The Junior-Senior game will take place in the first part of next week and the final game, for the champion- ship will be played between the two winning teams a few days later. Naught-seven has won the series for the last two years but is rather crippled this year and it is thought that a new champion will be found.

The Rev. Henry White, of the Class of '00, who is now a missionary among the Laos, sends the following: At ten years of age, a boy does not
mind bathing in cold water. At twenty, he enjoys talking to the
girls. At thirty, he is thoroughly in love with
life. At forty, he can work with the speed
of lightning — "In the prime of
life." At fifty, he does not get angry with a
little girl's chidings — he has learned

a fawn. At seventy, he is crippled and infirm,
likes to lie and sit. At eighty, his laugh is like a cry. At ninety, if he has fever he will die;
if not he will die anyhow.

Commencement Number.
There will be no issue of the STEN- TOR next week. Number thirty of Volume Twenty-one will be published on the morning of June the nineteenth as a Commencement Number. Efforts are being made to make this the largest and best commencement number that has been published. The issue will contain at least twenty pages of read- ing matter together with a number of cuts, and it will be printed on an extra fine quality of paper. We bespeak the interest and the aid of our readers in making this the best commencement number of years.
The Room Deposit !
As" the end of the college year draws near, we are again reminded of our annual college grievance, namely, the room deposit. For several years past — just how long we do not know — this deposit has, in part, been so dis- posed of by the authorities as to leave a rankling in the minds of all the men. When out of a room deposit of five dollars per man, required avowedly ta cover any unusual damage to the rooms or buildings, from two to three dollars per man is appropriated by the college authorities, there is some in- justice somewhere.
Of course it is claimed that the room deposit acts as a restraint upon the men to prevent their damaging college property, and that an appropri- tion of a large amount of this deposit is needed to indemnify the college for damage which has been done by those not honorable enough to avow it. But we know of a few cases where this ap- propriation of a goodly part of the de- posit by the authorities, has not only not been a restraint, but has actually resulted in deliberate damage to prop- erty. We further believe that consid- erable of the rough-housing which most of us greatly deplore, is the re- sult, partly, of the way in which the room deposit is managed. But, granted that a certain amount of this deposit must be used to pay for this unacknowledged damage, it is difficult to conceive how two or three hundred dollars must go every year to pay for damaged property — indeed, frankly, we do not believe that it does all go for that purpose. We believe that some of it has been used to pay for the care and general wear of the rooms and buildings for which we have already paid one fee.
Again, last year the fraction of the
THE STENTOR

deposit that was returned, was not re- turned till the middle of the summer. That should have been settled and paid back before the men had left for the summer.
It is not the actual money value of which we are deprived that rankles. Indeed a fee covering that amount might be tacked on to our college bills without causing much comment. But we believe that the deposit has been required for one thing and used for another — and there's the rub.
A short time ago, the men of the college were asked to pay into the treasury the sum of fifty dollars for the damage done on May Day. Most of that amount has been raised and turned over to the proper persons — the rest will probably be forthcoming. The men have shown themselves willing to pay for the damage they have done — and we see no reason why their claim for a fair disposition of the room de- posit should not receive consideration.
FORMER PRESIDENT, DR. HARLAN, COM- MENDS 1908 FORESTER.
In a letter to one of the students Ex-President Harlan highly commends the current volume of the Forester. He writes:
"I want to express my warm appre- ciation of your kindly tribute. Never has anything touched me more deeply than the thoughts and feelings towards me on the part of the student body to which you have given so gracious an expression.
"If, through your own kindly feel- ing you have not unconsciously exag- gerated the attitude of the other students, then I am more than satisfied, and am gladder than ever that during those five difficult years that proved to be in a very special sense the turning years in the history of the College, I
was its leader and was of some service in helping to usher in the "New Lake Forest," whose rosy dawning peeps out on almost every page of this beau- tiful number of the Forester, — not only in the pictures and announcements of the four new buildings (the Durand Commons, the two Blackstone Halls, and the Carnegie Science Hall) that are to work such a transformation in the outward aspect of things on the Campus and such a revolution in the inner life and work of the College, but also, and quite as much, in the splendid and loyal student and alumni-spirit which throbs throughout the book. I congratulate the Editors upon the best Forester yet issued. And they have steadily improved.
"You divine the fact truly, when you speak of my love for the College itself, and for the young life that is be- ing lived and developed within its walls. The College and my boys and girls who made it, and are making it today, will indeed be enshrined for- ever in my heart of hearts. May God God bless her, and all of them.
"With affectionate remembrance for all my boys and girls in Lake For- est, and with cordial good wishes for the new President,
I am, as ever,
Faithfully your friend, Richard D. Harlan.
"P. S. — I was much amused upon reading last week's STENTOR to see that the imaginative reporter's pure in- vention about that home run of my father's, and its various concommitants, got on its seven-leagued boots and was a thousand miles away before the truth even thought of drawing on its shoes."

THE JOSHER.
A senior ornithologist contributes the following description of the habits of that rara avis, in the pursuit of which all seniors are ardent, a "job."
"The common (?) Good Job (Bonus Positionus) is native in all parts of the U. S., Africa, Chinaand the Phillippines. It is not a lark. It is shy and retiring and is remarkable in having no call, being detectable only by being stepped on, and sometimes not then. After escaping, it cries 'Cuckoo." Most of the time it remains in the air. The statement may be ventured that a single specimen in the hand is as valuable as two in the agency." — The Oberlin Review.

The Academy lost to the Univer- sity High Saturday in a closely con- tested game by a score of 6 to 7.
The O. K. Pi party given on the evening of May 29 was a most attrac- tive affair. Quite a number of out-of- town guests attended.
In the western inter-academic track meet at Armour May 31st Lake Forest missed the championship by one point, Morgan Park taking the prize. Captain Schnur, of Lake For- est, was the star of the meet. He took first in the high hurdles, broad jump, and high jump, tied for first in the pole vault, second in the 220 dash, and third in the hundred. Bedell scored first in the shot, second in the hammer with a throw of 159 7 feet, and second in the discus. Runkle got second in the hun- dred and third in the 220. Peters was second in the high hurdles, Haynes took third in the 440, as did de Bronk- art in the half. Lake Forest secured the relay banner, the team consisting of Schnur, Runkle, Frost, and Haynes, Tunning away from the field.
Plans are practically complete for the Commencement Celebration. On Friday, June 15th, at 3 o'clock the Odd and Even year alumni teams will play baseball. John Jackson and Frank Ferry are the captains and they have gathered together a choice array of talent, so the game will be worth see- ing. After the game the play "An Academy Cupid" will probably be re- peated on the campus. At 7 o'clock the alumni banquet will be held in the Gymnasium, and will be a record-
breaker for size. Monday at 12:30 a luncheon will be given to visiting school representatives and the Senior class. At 2 o'clock will come the com- mencement exercises with an address by Mr. Charles Holt, and immediately after the .Head-master's reception will be given in Reid Hall.
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT.
No work is futile if it is nobly planned; no deed is little if but great- ly done. — E. R. Taylor.
Life is not wages but worth; not what we have but what we are. — Bab- cock.
As it is impossible for a man to be too clean in his body, so it is impos- sible for him to be too honest in his soul. — Selected.
Nothing is so cold as culture and nothing so mean when not inflamed and impassioned by the Spirit of Christ. — Joseph Parker.
When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost, when character is lost, all is lost. —Motto on the walls of a school in Germany.
The one secret of life and devel- opement is not to desire and plan, but to fall in with the forces at work, to do every moment's duty aright.-— Macdon- ald. The Wabash.

JUNE MUSICALE OF THE WOMAN'S GLEE CLUB.
The June Musicale which was given in Reid Chapel Saturday even- ing was an excellent climax to the work of the Women's Glee Club this year. Through the unfortunate illness this spring of Mrs. Thomas, who has directed the Club so successfully, it was long doubted whether there would be a June Concert. However, the services of Mr. Brewster, who this year turned out the best Men's Glee Club of years, were secured; and the musicale itself is the best testimonial to the training he has given.
The soloists of the evening were at their best. The "June" sung by Miss Nesbit, was one of the best things she has done. Miss Mann, of the University of Illinois, played a Polonaise by Chopin; she responded to a hearty encore with the first Move- ment of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
Mr. Brewster chose for his selec- tions two songs from the Song Cycle, "Love's Epitome," and one of Tosti's songs. His work has been heard too often to need praise. Miss Cutler read "Tar Baby" with great effect. The program follows:

SENIOR CLASS PLAY. Class of '07 Presents "One Summer's Day."
The class of '07, following the cus- tom of their prdecessors, presented last Monday evening H. V. Esmond's charming three-act comedy "One Sum- mer's Day." The scene of the first two acts of the play is a picnic scene on the banks of the Thames one sum- mer's day. In the last act the scene changes to the lawn of Mr. Hoddesden on evening of the same day.
Professor Clapp, who trained the cast, deserves great credit for the all- round excellence of the production. In token of their gratitude for his ser- vices, the class presented him with a loving-cup.
The following is the cast of char- acters:
Major Dick Rudyard Munger
Phil Marsden Keithley
Theodore Bendyshe Shroyer
Robert Hoddesden Wharton
Tom (his nephew) Wilson
Seth (a Gyps\ ) Sowers
Urchin Palmer
Irene (Hoddesden's niece) Miss Martin
Maysie (Hoddesden's ward) Miss Ryon
Mrs. Bendyshe Miss Williams
Chiara Miss Robertson
The thread of the play runs as fol- lows:
Dick Rudyard has been left guard- ian of the son of a brother officer. The boy's mother, a Gypsy, appears on the scene and they have a dispute as to the ownership of the child. Maysie, who

MR. CKATF1ELD-TAYL0R LECTURES ON
MOLIESE.
Mr. Hobart Chatfield Chatfield- Taylor, who is the author of a standard work on the French dramatist, Moliere, lectured to Professor Bridgman's class in comparative drama, Professor Van Steenderen's French class, and others in the French room last Friday after- noon on the life of Moliere. After giving a very graphic though brief history of the dramatist's life, Mr. Tay- lor explained how that Moliere, rather than Shakespeare, is the father of mod- ern drama. Shakespeare was an ideal- ist. His characters were ideal. Molieie was a realist and his characters are to be seen upon the streets and in the salons of France today.

CLASS GAMES.
Seniors and Freshmen Lose.
The two preliminary games for the class championship in baseball were played on Monday and Tuesday of last week. Rain made the diamond almost unfit for use on both days, but, as it takes more than a mere cloudburst to stop a class game, the war went on.
The first game was between the Sophomores and Freshmen and the former upheld what dignity they have acquired in the last year by sending the Freshmen home with the small end of a nine to six score. Eight of the Sopho- mores' runs came in the first two in- nings, but after that the Freshmen set- tled down and played well. They were, however, unable to overcome the lead gained by naught-nine. Robiheau pitched to Jones for the Sophomores; Keck and Thompson did the battery woi'k for the Freshmen.
TracK and Baseball Captains Elected.
At a meeting of the monogram track men, Jones '09 was elected track captain for next year. Jones makes a specialty of the weight events, but is a good all-around man and will make a good leader.
Russell Scott '09 was elected cap- tain of the basketball team. Scott has played center on the team for two years and though he is out of college now will be back next year.
On Tuesday the two upper classes met to decide which team should meet the victorious Sophomore team for the championship. The Seniors, last year's champions, put two pitchers in the box but with no avail, and, not liking the idea of getting rained on as well as de- feated, consented to call the game at the end of the fifth inning. Stone's pitch- ing was effective and at no time did the ex-champs, appear dangerous. Because of the slippery ball, overthrows were frequent and the playing slightly rag- ged. The final score was seven to four in favor of nineteen-eight.

Juniors Are Champions.
In the final game for the class championship, which Avas played last Thursday, naught-eight smothered naught-nine under a ten to two score, and won the undisputed right to the title. Though the score does not show it. the game was the best of the series. The diamond was dry for the first time since the series began and consequently the playing was faster than in the pre- vious games.
The Sophomores got one run in the first and the Juniors were unable to score until the fifth, which proved to be the fatal inning for naught-nine. T\ hen the dust had blown away nine Juniors bad crossed the plate. Robineau was

Dr. Stuart, of the Garrett Biblical Institute, brother of Professor Lewis Stuart, gave the address at vespers, a week ago Sunday. From the story of Samson, he drew these observations: Samson recognized God as the giver of his great strength; he taxed that strength to the utmost, and he used it for the common good.
NEW HEAD OF PHILOSOAHICAL DEPART- MENT.
Owing to the vacancy left by Pro- fessor Henry W. Stuart, who will take a chair next year in Leland Stanford, Mr. Henry Wilkes Wright, Ph. D., in- structor in the Sage School of Philos- ophy of Cornell University, has been called to take the chair of Philosophy. Mr. Wrightcomes highly recommended by President Schurman of Cornell and by Professor Needham, late of Lake Forest. He received his A. B. at Cor- nell in 1889 and his Ph. D. in 1904. He held a graduate fellowship and one of the Sage Fellowships in Philosophy. For the past four years he has been instructor in Philosophy at Cornell, and a member of the Philosophical Asso- ciation. His articles have been pub- lished in the Philosopoical Review, In- ternational Journal of Ethics, Psych- ology, Scientific Methods, American Journal of Theology, and Encyclo- paedia Americana.
Miss Denise and Mrs. Lewis enter- tained the Senior girls at dinner Fri- day evening, for Dr. Nollen.
Y. M. C. A. CLOSES YEAR'S WORK.
The last Y. M. C- A. meeting of the college year was held Tuesday evening, June nth, in the association rooms. Those who addressed the men were Dr. Halsey, the retiring president; Dr. Nollen, president-elect, and Dr. Boyle. After a word of prayer, Dr. Halsey spoke concerning the fine out- look for the association work next year and its success during the current year. Dr. Nollen called attention to the need and demand of sound, honest Christian men for the world's work today. Dr. Boyle emphasized what the previous speakers had said, adding a few thoughts along the same line.
After the meeting the men were given their first opportunity of meeting Dr. Nollen, and all were glad to wel- come to the head of the College a man who, we feel sure, will take a keen in- terest in the welfare of the association.
Junior Bench Ceremony.
The annual "Junior Bench Cere- mony" was held last Thursday evening.
The original program was broken up by the absence of several members of the faculty, who were unable to at- tend because of the banquet given that evening, so that the only speakers were the class represeniatives.
Horace Harvey spoke for naught- eight. He gave a short history of the bench and spoke of the responsibilities that the memders of naught-nine were about to take upon themselves in be- coming upper classmen.
Peter Robineau answered for naught-nine and, after singing the "alma mater," the meeting was ended.
Misses Duncan, Cutler, and Bock- hoff will be the Lois Hall delegates to Y. W. C. A. convention at Lake Geneva this summer.

A Swan Song.
Unlike the swan, we cannot give our last utterance in a graceful note; our voice must remain harsh.
Our work with the STENTOR this year has undoubtedly been one of the finest experiences of our college days. It has brought with it hard work and many disappointments. We do not on looking back find grounds for any un- due pride in our achievement. There are many mistakes. But we have worked hard and, we think, faithfully, to subserve the best interests of our alma mater.
The work of the Stentor Board has been for the most part excellent. To
them and to all the various reporters we express our deep gratitude for the parts they have played in the publish- ing of the Stentor.
We began this year with the theory that one can conduct a college paper without necessarily making many ene- mies. We believe our theory was well founded. We have, perhaps, risked in- sipidity and commonplaceness in trying to conserve the good will that has been ours.
But it is a deeper emotion that the thought of leaving our alma mater gives us. We have learned to love her, her campus, her trees, her ravines; and under her guidance it is that many of our best friendships have been found. But she will draw us back again.
To her we pledge our best efforts to bring her into her kingdom.
With these commencement days, Dr. Halsey for the second time hands over the reins of administration to a new President, and Dr. Nollen takes up the work. We cannot but express our admiration of Professor Halsey's service as Acting President. We can conceive of no motive for such hard, unsparing, and little appreciated labor, other than that of a deep and unselfish devotion to Lake Forest College.
Professor Halsey has carried us safely through a critical period; and now he gives the keys of office ovei to our new President, Dr. Nollen. To the one we express our gratitude; to the other we give our welcome.
Dear Editor:
As the year closes with this num- ber of The Stentor it may be well to take a look backward and note some things that have been accomplished and are encouraging. It was not an easy thing to do to take hold of the adminis- tration in the middle of the vear and
THE STENTOR
367
so to enlist the very hearty support of the students and Faculty and Lake Forest friends of the College as to avoid failure. There has been a most encouraging co-operation on the part of all who have been appealed to for bring- ing the year through to a successful conclusion. One cannot speak too high- ly of the spirit of loyalty and co-opera- tion that has been shown by the stu- dents in seeking to efface the traces of any thoughtless conduct for which they have been responsible during the year and to make not only compensation, but manly atonement.
Again,' they have shown a cordial devotion to the institution in the work that the glee clubs have done as first- class advertising — on the trip, in Lake Forest, and in the Chicago churches. The friends of the institution who are so often called upon to give financial assistance to promote the various enter- prises which are so important in the eyes of the students and of the faculty, have responded most heartily this year and gratitude is due them, not only for their financial help, but for the courte- ous and cordial way in which it has been rendered. The pastor of the church has been an inspiration to us all in the manful Christianity which has stimulated every one to seek to do his best, and the faculty have got the in- spiration of all this and seem to look forward to a bright future. The coming of the man who, at the close of this Commencement Day, will take into his hands the administration of the institu- tion, has awakened the greatest interest and anticipation, and he finds a com- munity of both town and gown ready to extend to him a most cordial welcome and ready to back him in every good work and deed.
The year ends, we believe, with re- newed and larger hope for the year that is coming.
John J. Halsey.
OCTETTE SINGS AT FORTY-FIRST STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Mr. Lewis, Mr. Crozier, and the members of the Octette were the guests of honor at a banquet given by the Junior Young Men's Bible Class of the Forty-first Street Presbyterian Church of Chicago last Thursday evening. At the close of the dinner Mr. Lewis and the Octette entertained the boys and their friends for an hour. Mr. Lewis gave a strong plea for for the Academy and College, a plea which, together with his reading and the singing of the Octette, should result in a strong spirit for Lake Forest within the vicinity of that church.
ALLENDALE HOUSE PARTY.
A small party of Juniors and Sen- iors attended a week-end house party at Allendale farm, which overlooks Cedar Lake, as the guests of "Captain" and Mrs. Bradley and Mr. Palmer. Sailing was the chief diversion. Those who attended were the Misses Cutler, Mary Bockhoff, Robertson, Anne Ryon and Steele, and Messrs. Schroyer, Wil- son, Palmer, Munger, and Dickey.
CAST OF SENIOR PLAY DINE.
Those of the Senior Class who took part in the Senior Play, together with their prompter, were the guests of Mr. Howard Shroyer for dinner at the Kappa Sigma house last Thursday evening. Mr. Shroyer proved himself an excellent host. The fact of there being just thirteen diners seemed not in the least to deter them from the enjoyment of the dinner set before them.

Track work at the Academy this spring has met with decided success. Men were entered in a number of meets during the season and did well in all of them. In the First Regiment indoor meet Schnur and Runkle were entered in the forty-yard dash and took first and third in that event. The relay team also placed. Later, in the A. A. U. indoor meet, the same two men took first and second in the sixty-yard dash, and Schnur equaled the world's record in it.
In the North Shore Interscholastic meet the team missed first place by two and a half points and won the relay cup.
In the first outdoor meet of the season the team lost to the Northwest- ern University Freshmen by the score of sixty-eight to forty-nine. This meet was practically won by the Freshmen in the long-distance runs.
In the Northwestern Interscholas- tic, Schnur and Bedell made points enough to give them fourth place in the meet. In this meet Schnur was injured and was only able to enter the high hurdles, which he won, breaking the track record.
Next came the Interscholastic given by Lake Forest College. The Academy won this meet with thirty- eight points, her closest competitor being Oak Park, winner of the Illinois and Beloit meets.
Then came the Inter-academic meet at Ogden Field. The meet was won by Morgan Park, and but one point behind came Lake Forest. Cap- tain Schnur was the individual star of
the meet, winning four firsts, a second, and a third, and the relay team added anorher banner to the collection by taking first place with ease.
The last meet participated in was the University of Chicago's Interschol- astic in which Captain Schnur broke the national interscholastic record in the high hurdles, winning them in fif- teen and three-fifths seconds. Bedell was fourth in the shot put, and the re- lay team finished third.
Prospects for a good baseball team this year seemed bright, with five of last year's team out and plenty of new can- didates. However, the cold and rainy spring made practice very unsatisfac- tory and at times impossible and this, combined with the lack of steady bat- ting, caused the erratic playing which lost so many games during the season.
The games played were, as follows:
Lake Forest Academy 12, Deerfield Township High School 4.
Lake Forest Academy 3, North- western Academy 23.
Lake Forest Academy 2, Oak Park High School 9.
Lake Forest Academy 11, Armour Academy. 11 innings, 10.
Lake Forest Academy 2. Chicago Freshmen 12.
Lake Forest Academy 1, Morgan Park 6.
Lake Forest Academy 6, University High 7.
Lake Forest Acadenry 7, Armour 11.
Lake Forest Academy 2, Morgan Park 18.
Ben Schnur, captain of the track team for 1907, is considered the best athlete ever turned out by Lake Forest Academy and it would he hard to find his equal in any preparatory school.

Schnur's latest and best performance was the breaking of the American In- terseholastic record in the high hurdles. Running against the best prep, school athletes in the country, he not only won the event, but cut a fifth of a second from the previous record, making it in fifteen and three fifths seconds. On May 12th he won the high hurdle event in the Northwestern University Inter- seholastie in sixteen and one-fifth sec- onds, making a new record for that meet, and on March 13th tied the in- door record of six and two-fifths sec- onds for the sixty-yard dash, winning that event in the A. A. U. indoor meet.
Besides making these records Schnur has made a large number of points in the various meets during the season.
In the meet with the Northwestern University Freshmen he won twenty- three points and in the Western Inter- academic, twenty-four. Besides track work he has played baseball and was a star at football.
The annual Alumni banquet and semi-centennial dinner was held in the Academy gymnasium at J o'clock on Saturday evening. The presence of a large number of the "old boys" made the festive occasion one of greatest pleasure. The dinner was excellent, and the speakers were in their liveliest moods. The following men were heard from: Mr. John V. Farwell, Jr., Pro- fessor Halsey, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Maclay Hoyne. Dr. Graham Lee. Mr. Mathew Mills, and Mr. Ernest Palmer.
Owing to the stress of commence- ment festivities, the play "An Acad- emy Cupid," which was to have been presented at 5 o'clock Saturday after- noon on the campus, was dispensed with.
1892.
Rev. John T. Faris, after a four years' pastorate in St. Louis, became, on April 1, the managing editor of the Sun- day School Times. It may be added that a little book of his, entitled "The Pastor and the Sunday School," was published by the S. S. Times Co. last winter.
Rev. Wallace S. Faris died sud- denly at I-hsien, Shantung Province, China, on May 14th. No particulars beyond a bare cable message have been received as yet, but it is interesting to gather from a brief newspaper notice and his brother's letter a few facts about him. He was born in Chicago in 1869, spent two years in Lake Forest in 1888-90. taught for one year, and was graduated from Leland Stanford in the first class, that of 1893. After a theological course at Princeton, he went, in 1896, to Ichow Fu, China, where he met with much indignity at the time of the Boxer riots in 1900. In the eleven years of his service he bacame greatly beloved by his missionary associates and by the Chinese, who thoroughly re- spected his sincerity and the beauty of his Christian character. Spending the year 1905 in this country, he won the hearts of all whom he met by his in- tense devotion to his work and his ab- solute forgetfulness of self. The influ- ence of his life was largely responsible for taking his brother Paul to Ichow Fu in 1905, and his sister Margaret to his own station, that of I-hsien, of which he was made the head when it opened in West Shantung Province in 1906. He always had, with his brother, most ap- preciative remembrance of the time spent in Lake Forest, and the College is proud to claim the honor which his

Married, at Milwaukee, June II, Dr. William D. McNary and Miss Bes- sie Greenwood, Dr. J. Foster McNary (Buckette), '98, acting as best man, and R. H. Crozier, '93, and five others doing their best to arrange an over- whelming crowd of friends of the principals, but mostly strangers to the ushers, in a large church according to family connection and social impor- tance. In harmony with the musical tastes of the bride, the six bridesmaids were chosen partly for their ability as singers, and as the wedding procession moved up the church they sang the Lohengren March most effectively. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. James McNary, the father of the groom, and the service at the church was followed by a small reception at the bride's home.
Dr. and Mrs. McNary will spend the summer near Milwaukee, and will be at home after October 1st at 686 Prospect avenue.
1895.
Miss Mabel Gilson has been, since 1904, assistant teacher in the girls' school at Chieng Mai, Laos, Siam, and just to fill up her time teaches in the "Prince Royal's College," makes mis- sionary tours, and teaches music to all budding organists — for mission churches — who apply. In another station in Laos, at Chieng Rai, Rev. Henry White has been settled since 1902, except when he and his family are traveling up and down the country visiting many out- stations.
1896
The address of Alice E. Keener is now 609 Clark street, Evanston, 111. Rev. Gilbert L. Wilson is now set-
tled as pastor of Shiloh Church, Minne- apolis, corner Central avenue and Twenty-fourth street, a church of about 200 members. In connection with his residence for some years at Langdon, N. D., Mr. Wilson has spent a good deal of time on Indian reservations, and has made a first-hand study of their folk- tales and customs, and of their habit* of speech. This study has borne fruit in a volume of folk-tales for children, called "Myths of the Red Children," soon to be issued by Ginn & Co. Mr. Wilson has also in hand a children's history of the pioneers of the Northwest, which may reach publication this year. Mr. Wilson writes appreciatively of his years in Lake Forest, and adds that he is still devoted to Greek studies — that a copy of Homer always lies on his desk.
1897.
Rev. William T. Angus, after serv- ing as stated supply since October, was recently installed as pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Vandalia. This is one of the oldest churches in that part of the state, having been founded in 1828, and has about 225 members. In the long history of the church, which has had twenty-one pastors, Mr. Angus is the third to be installed, and he en- ters upon his work with much interest and hopefulness.
Rev. David L. Jones is now located at Middleton, Oklahoma. 1899.
Rev. William E. Ruston, after sev- eral years' pastorate at Farley, Iowa, has recently gone to Coggon, in the same state.
Bruce Campbell is practicing law at Marianna, a lively town in the center of the cotton district of eastern Ar- kansas.
