| Rev. Bachman began series O
meetings in the College Chapel Tues
day Feb. 4. These meetings have
been we'll attended by the students
and others, and it is gratifying to note
the interest that is taken. At thi!
writing there have been several con
versions; although large majority o
the students are christians, yet there
is grand work to be done here.
! Of all the studies taken there i
not one SO generally hated as history
And yet there is nothing more i'm
portant than history. Itis also fac
that there are more students deficien
in good knowledge Of history thai
in any other branch. The reason o
this is because it requires more meth
cd in study than any other to be
come proficient. Why should we no
have a lecture sometime soon Oh
GLOW to Study History to Th,
Best Advantage" There are man,
studying in the history department
proper, who are doing excellent work
