Regents S. S. lockwood and E. ID.
Coe paid the Normal visit on Mon
day. Secretary lockwood had prepared,
as he said IAN extemporaneouss speech,
fearing Knight be called upon He
began by: Don't be in such hurry.
Take more time; you have all the
time there is" He continued: This
is the age of excuses. We are too
gluttonous because food is so abund-
ant; we read too much because read
ing-stuff is so cheap" He now
scared away on his wings of eloquence
to illustrate his theme by reference
to the almost incomprehensible
speed attained in every line Of
progress in our land. He said: II do
not believe in gymnastics or Gales
themes that render the student unfit
for immediate study after leaving
the gymnasium. / do not believe in
the sport upon the campus that so
soaks the student in perspiration as
to make him unable to take up his
books within two hours of time"
The orator wound up his piercing,
forcible, 10 minute address by review
ing the first points made in regard to
taking more time and then the intensely
spell-bound audience broke forth to
show its great appreciation. Many
regents have visited this Normal but
never before has one of them been
accompanied by such a powerful,
deep-going, all absorbing magnet of
eloquence as this one. 1t is hoped
he will soon come again, prepared
similarly "to take himself by the
handle and pour himself out" before
an appreciatiye audience.
Little snow furries have whitened

hours find out the name of the
