interest in the university and the loyalty
to 1t which he will evince. He comes here
to be one of US, to enlist under the colors
of the blue and GOLD in his effort 10 secure
the doctors degree from the department of
botany and not for the purpose OF earning
his allowance as coach for the season.
I'VE NAV consider ourselves fortunate
in getting him TO come to this Coast, as he
leaves position OF much more pecuuiary
value in order to study here and to do
what he can for football. He will take the
position in my department occupied by
Ivan Tiedestrom last year, and will devote
himself largely to the study of seaweeds
and types of that character.
He has been an assistant in botany at
the Marine Biological Laboratory at
Woods Hole. Mass, for the past two
summers. His choice as coach is highly
favored by the advisory committee of the
Athletic Association, and the Indications
that he will be the leader of Berkeley's
team for 1896 are very strong and I can
saw with every element of safety that he
will be most valuable man in the posi-
tion, and a com pelent adviser in all other
matters pertaining to the arrangements of
the season."

denounced the politax in unmeasured
terms and was roundly cheered for his re-
marks. Continuing he said:
II believe there are soma single-tax be-
levers present, but few know what is
meant by the term. At present the AS
SCISSOR puts valuation on you- land. If
that were all you would have single tax,
but it is not all. He then goes and puts
another valuation on the Improvements.
Not satisfied with this be goes and puts
another on money or personal property.
Do you imagine man who has money to
lend or sells goods pays the tax? He
makes the party using them pay il"
Ralph Hoyt, who has recently returned

the campaign there. said he believed we

He said the single-tax advocates picked
Delaware as a State to experiment on be-

of God Is compared to an edifce; IL is called

this church is built Is Christ. Holy men

in this superstructure. but Christ alone is
the foundation bearing all its massive

PROFIT AND LOSS---We are continually
considering the question Of profit and loss,
There is not more perplexing question
than deciling our choice or vocation in

greater value is the all-important ques-

any profit outside of the question of our
souls? There are things OF the world that
are valuable, such as wealth, glory. honor
