The usual chapel exercises were omit
ted Friday afternoon and IL their place
the senior term orations were given. A
number of visitors were present to
listen to these orations, all of which
were delivered with a spirit which
showed that the speaker firmly believ-
ed what he was saying. The University
Orchestra added no little to the enter
tainment of the visitors and students
by the selections which were given from
time to time during the afternoon. The
livered by Miss Davis, who chose as her
subject, THE Influence of a Humble
Life" Miss Davis said that while we
remember by words and deeds the great
heroes who are around us we should
not forget the every day heroes whose
lives, perhaps unconscious to u.s., are
nevertheless spreading a sweet influence
over us, those who from day TO day are
doing the duty which lies nearest to
them.
Among the every day heroes, Miss
Davis placed Jonn Howard Payne, the
author of Home Sweet Home" This
song has had more influence in
strengthening love of home than all the
logic of schools, "As long as We need
love and kindness, so long will the
notes of Home Sweet Home" have
power to thrill the human heart"
Mr.. Danielson, following Miss
Davis, spoke on the Resources of Wy
oming." These are many. but as yet
undeveloped. Jne thing which above
all others is needed TO develop the in
dustries of Wyoming is transportation.
One does not care to put money in any
enterprise unless there is a possible
method Of distributing his produce.
In treating the subject, The Foun-
dation Stone of Life's IDEAL" Miss Lee
chose as her theme, "the greatest of
these is love" Miss Lee made sym
pathetic synonymous with love, stating
that sympathy must be in the found
alton stone if one if n is striving to
attain a life ideal. She considers the
problem which has been before the
world for so long and is still u%nsolved.
If love and selfishness were placed one
in each side of a pair of scales, which
would weight the more? Let us cult
vate that sympathy for brother until
,o -, =, n,-osJ,,n11v J-aur from tho craI 10
of se~lfishness and add to that of love.
The work may be long, it may seem
tedious, but patience will accomplish
it. 1t is patience that will help us to
attain the life ideal. Only by patience
and hard work can We form and put in
pace a foundation stone that will with
stand every tempest"
1.-THE Nicaragua Canal was the sub
ject of Miss Fox's Grafton. Miss Fox
spoke of the feasibility of such a canal
from an engineering point of view and
of the Importance of it % our com
mercfal interests. The Nicaragua canal
is almost necessary as a defense to the
United States. Because fortune has
favored the United States in the late
war, notwithstanding other disadvant-
ages, she will not always do so, and
would it not be better to construct a
canal which would not only be a help
commercially to every part of the Unit
ed States, but would also make our
country the most invincible nation in
the world.
The board of trustees at its meeting
