Chapel exercises, conducted last week
by Rev. j. w. Taylor of the Tiff
church, were very interesting and well
attended. Each morning the chapel
room was crowded. in fact, Mr.. Tay-
Tor remarked that it is very unusual to
see a devotional exercise, at which at
tendance is not compulsory, SO well
| attended, and just as unusual to feel
such a truly religious spirit in such a.
large student body.
Chapel during the coming week will
be conducted by the Rev. T. S. Gram
dali, pastor of the East Side Baptist
church.
At the Delta Phi last Thursday night
definite steps were taken looking to an
intercollegiate contest in oratory and
debate with the students of the Brig
ham Young academy at Provo. Messrs
H. Claude Lewis and Ernest Bramwell
were chosen to represent the Delta
Phi in debate, and Mr.. S. L. Richards
was chosen as orator for the occasion.
Mr. j. j. Cannon and Mr.. Ernest Bran
we'll We're appointed as a committee
to go to Provo and make definite ar
rangements. Friday night after school,
the boys went to Provo and conferred
with the academy students. Mr.
Bramwell returned yesterday morning
and reported that the Provo boys were
eager for a contest in storytelling, but
that they hesitated to enter the field of
debate. Mr.. Cannon remained in Provo
last night to attend the meeting of
academy students, to ascertain more
definitely what can be done. 1t is
probable that the contest will be a
varied one, as the Athletic association
will prepare some athletic and track
events.
DR.. J. T. Kingsbury, in company with
w. w. Ritter and Architect Kletting,
will leave for the east during the COM
ing week. They will visit some of the
western colleges first, and will go east
probably as far as New York. They go
to make observations of the most mod
ern and convenient college buildings,
preparatory to the drawing UP of
plans for the new university BUILDING.
The students are circulating a petit
ton askin gfor recess on the 9Th and
18th of April. Last year spring vaca-
ton proved very disastrous to the
work towards the end of the year, and
this year the catalogue makes no pro-
vision for a vacation. During confer
ence week, however, the school is al
ways in a disturbed condition, and as
many of the students will desire to see
Warde, Kidder and James, it is pos
sible that they will be granted these
two days rest from their regular
school work.
The normal class of '01 intend to give
a class entertainment on Friday,
April IA.
Professor George NJ Marshall viii
repeat his lecture on Westminster
Abbey under the auspices of the stu
dents lecture course, ON Friday, April
{. This lecture was given on March
and proved to be one of the most in
teresting of the faculty series. Since
that date Professor Marshall has re-
cevied and had made about fifteen new
slides. These will, add materially to
the interest and entertainment of his
talk, which has already proved so sue
cessful.
Chaplain j. W. Taylor visited the
normal school last week and was par
ticularly delighted with the work of
the kindergarten department.
