ohr main life purpose, and some
dcfnate plans for the immediate fut'

man should be the creature of Circum-

their Creator; no reason why he
should drift at the mercy of mind
and wave when he may be pilot OF
the bark he sails.

Prof. Newman's Glasses did not
recite on Thursday as he had charge
of the music at the Convention that
day.
The prayer meeting in College
Chapel on Thursday evening led by
Prof. Gill was one OF special interest
and instruction. The Subject "The
Tongue" was treated upon in very
thorough and instructive manner.
We feel that this is very necessary
instruction to'take to ourselves and
we regret that so lew were IN attend
ance as we know how much those
missed who were not present
Our field day exercies will be held
Friday afternoon, May 18th, arrang-
ments are being made to have all the
contests possible in the grove back of
the Campus which will be more
pleasant for those who witness them
than heretofore. The boys are doing
some good work now and the indl-
cations are that the records on every
contest will be broken this year,
Come everybody and see our boys
show some of the great feats of ath-
l:lic contests.

Prof Warful will move his business
department from his room over the
chapel to the old Y. M. c. A. Hall.
The hall will be cut up by partitions

work. This will be a more suitable
place for this department having
better light and being IN a secluded
place away from the other classes of
work
