BUCHTEL COLLEGE NOTES.
Miss M. A. Bortle, of Buchtel Coll sge,
informed us recently that in her eight
years connection with the college in
ternal affairs never moved more har-
moniously than at present. About fifty
students accompanied Mr.. Eben Num-
ford, their representative at the late
Ohio Inter. Collegiate Oratorical Associ-
alton at Columbus. Mr.. Mumford was
marked fourth place in thought and com
position, and fifth in delivery. Although
disappointed in the position attained by
their representative we are happy to say
that they INDUCED in no such conduct
as that exhibited by the delegations
from the Ohio State and Ohio Wesleyan
Universities, while the judges were
making up their decisions. A serious
riot was only prevented by prompt in
reference. The students of Buchtel
were noted for their genteel department.
In the recent Sophomore Contest at
Buchtel College. Miss L. Eloise War
ner received first prize for her rendition
of "How Tom Sawyer Whitewashed His
Fence" and Thad Waldo Rice, the sec
ond, for "Tradin' Joe." The audience
was large, and the entire program gave
great satisfaction.
CHURCH REPORTS AND QUOTAS.
Thus far we have received reports
from forty-one churches. and payments
of quotas from twenty four. About
thirty reports are still due, and nearly
fifty payments of quotas, and we earn
estly request that pastors clerks do not
longer delay performance of their duty
in this respect. Since our last report,
DR.. B. F. Beane, Clerk of the Eldorado
church. has RENTED $500, the full
quota requested. Eldorado church is
loyal to the core, and never fails to do
it's duty.
Miss Emily Potter, Clerk of the church
at Flint, has sent 1925. The day was
unpleasant when the collection was TAX
en-. She intimates that the remainder
of the quota will be paid by one of the
auxiliaries.
n Miss Clara Bissell has paid So 90. the
full quota of the Westfield church. If
we are not mistaken the money was
paid by the Y. P. G. Union, which is al
ways at work.
