and extreme pleasure our "Big Prof."
turned the key that opened the door
of our gymnasium to Maryville STU
dents OF course the building is not
yet completed and there is but little
apparatus in the gymnasium, yet it was
thought proper to open the building
two honrs every day except Sunday,
so that the students could get the ben
eft of some light gynastic exercise
even though the apparatus be crude
and scanty. The exercises were very
interesting, consisting of lively music
by the Band, and speeches and athe-
letic contests. Hon, J. w. Culton
gave speech on the "Alheletics in
Maryville College in years gone by"
which was interesting and amusing.

eloquent and profitable. Prof. Will
sons prayer was one of unreseryed
dedication of the building to God that
it might be place Of pure sports and
gymnastics. The College Quartette

, "Carmen Marlavillensls." Although
there had been but little practice in the
t gymnastics, yet some Of our Athletics
made good record. Belk, Feagles,
, Hamilton, Mcdonald, Wallace and
Others entertained the audiance by
many feats of skill and daring. The
tug-of-war was tightly contested, but
the "Preps" finally pulled the College
