that he first became a Hoosier. Twenty
years ago there were thirty-three graduates
from this institution. who were now out in
the world. 1t was the largest class In the
history of the college up to that time.
Since that time the speaker had never
met more than two or three of the boys at
one time. A remarkable fact about the
class of 80 was that it graduated the first
lady from Indiana University and from the
West-Miss Sarah Morrison. There was a
strong tight made against the co-educatlon
of the sexes, but it must come and so 1t did.

He insisted that the first idea of
ing as would tit the student
for practical business life. The
second and underlying principle should be
the making of character. Moral training.
with a Christian basis, should always be-
taught and insisted upon. The moral
spirit and example of a teacher has very
much to do with the religious character of
the student. The instructors of Indiana
University who have made the best success
and left the most lasting impressions upon
moral attachments. Reverend Clark in
sisted that this should be a special object
of the trustees liz selecting those who are
to teach the Young.

class '75. of indianapolis. She rave
an amusing history of the first entrance of
