eral OF the teachers present. The room
was crowded. and he had difficulty In
finding seat He finally went down
near the front. When he was seated,
he noticed Freeda sitting with some Of
the girls from the hall.
+ The evangelist was q wide awake,
businesslike man who attracted Ed
ward favorably. He was not dressed
Enthusiastically and bad no disagreeable
or noticeable mannerisms He began
his talk in. plain, Straightforward
fashion and gave the impression, which
he everywhere gave, Of sincerity and
earnestness. There was wholesome
good sense in his appeal to both the in
tel1ect and the emotions, and Edward
found himself listening not only with
attention, but with real and growing
interest. y. s.
b But when the evangelist had finished
his address and the audience had sung
q hymn he announced that the meeting
was open TOR testimony, and then Ed
ward Blake began to indulge his pet
habit OF criticism. In ten minutes all
the good effect Of the evangelist.,s talk
was dissipated from Edwards mind.
The president had said q few-words,
very sensibly urging in q quiet but
strong manner the points emphasized
By M. Vain. Edward listened to him
1 With the respect that was deeper In
him every day. But the very next per

was active III the association work, but
q very poor student in classroom work.

"D0 you refer to me as mean and sneak

than Edward. But he was a senior, he
had no fear of physical injury, and he
looked into Edwards inhamed face
and said:
"Any man is mean sneak who
hasn't enough college spirit to stand by
the college at such time as this
For q second Edward hesitated, while
his usual slow. deliberate nature was
fused to white heat of wrath. Then
he suddenly drew back and said saw
agely, You're too small to lick any
way" He looked at the rest Of the
boys, who had not ventured to inter
fere either way, and then, turning
around slowly, he went out of the room
without word. ~..->.. .
I When he was gone, the team had q
stormy meeting. The members were
mad at Edward, and at the same time
they were not able to overthrow alto
gether his reasons for refusing to play.
One of the two players who had sided
with Edward at first at last yielded
and consented to go out on the propos-
ed trip But the bitterness reused by
Edwards refusal was shared by Z
great many Of the students, and 1t
made him sore to see and hear evil
dences OF this bitterness in very many
ways that fall and winter.
It was Friday Of that week that
President Royce gave the college his
first plain talk on athletics Once q
week in chapel since his induction into
Office he had given the students chap
el talk. These talks were beginning to
receive good attention, although at first
not even the presidents general popu-
larity could sweep away q great deal Of

singing. Something IN the presidents

their talk 81 the odice, and Edwards

Come ins'' cried Edward, with a
feeling of annoyance at the Interrupt
ton, and to his establishment who
should come in but Professor Clark.
Two OF the professors had called on
Edward since he had been In college,
but each time it had been to see him
about matters connected with his stud.
les. Professor Clark lived outside the
row Of college professors houses on the
campus front, and Edward had SO far
not met him at all except in the class
room where at the beginning of the
sophomore year he had gone into a d.
vision Of the class in political economy.
In this division he was just beginning
to hear the lectures that had provoked
the anger of Mr.. Rankin. So far as he
knew Clark he respected him, as the
other students did. But he seemed to
be somewhat reserved man and lack
ing in sociability.
This fact made his present appear
ance all the more astonishing to Ed
ward. He rose hastily and stammered
out an invitation to his visitor to take
q seat.
l.. Il came in to ask you to 60 over to
the meeting tonight" said the profess
or as he took the seat offered him.
'"The-the- stammered Ed
ward, amazed at the Invitation.
Eyes. Mr.. Vail, the evangelist, is do
Ing good work in the college. He is q
very sensible, straightforward, Chris
tan man, and the students ought to
hear him as much as possible. l in
CURED about you from some Of the
men, and they said you had been out to
the meetings only once or twice. So
thought would call and ask you to go
with me-"
II the professor had come into the
room and proposed to Edward that
they go down and set fire to the chapel
building, it is doubtful If Edward could
have been more overwhelmed with as
tonishment. He had never heard of a
professor taking any such interest in q
students religious welfare. That was
not what the professors in college were
for. A vague but growing idea began
to dawn on Edwards mind that posi-
bly, the president had been doing some
missionary work among the faculty.
And yet there were an evident sincerity
and frankness about Professor Clark
interest in him that were not assumed
nor dictated by the desire Of any one
else.
Il was just beginning my evening
study" began Edward slowly, but as
he spoke he rose and reached after his
hat.
I'm sure this matter Is fully as i'm
portant as the studies," replied the pro-
lessor quietly. And that was all that
was said by either of them as they
went out and stepped over to the asso-
citation room in the chapel where the
meetings were being held. Edward
was naturally silent, and the professor
seemed to be little embarrassed by
the unusual situation. If his action
had been due to any move on the part
OF the president, there was at least no
attempt on Clark's part to attempt
more with Edward than seemed posi-
bic to do with him. Somehow he knew
that Edward would not be moved to
make a Christian decision by argu-
ments or by much talking. If he ever
decided, it would have to be because he
saw clearly for himself that the only
thing for an educated man to do was to
be Christian.
When they went in, the meeting had
begun, and the audience was singing.
Edward noticed the president and sew

ute it is out Of proportion. 1t is assum-
ing more than its share Of students

game like football in college becomes
a means Of money making to carry on
athletics it is demoralizing. Or again
whenever the game demands too much
time from q students studies or re-
peatedly breaks into his Sunday rest
and worship it is harmful and should
be changed and modified If not abso-
lutely dropped" 49,
Here the president summarized the
results of the recent trip made by the
college team, calling attention to the
same points he had made in Edwards
presence.
Il wish to say frankly that am not
in favor Of these long trips of the foot
ball team away from the college.
have heard it said that it is a good ad:
vertfsement for the college to have the
team 60 out. But am sure Hope col
lege could well afford to miss this ad-
vertisement. especially that part Of it
which turns night into day and dis
turbs the slumbers of innocent citizens
on college hill. many OF whom. must
frankly tell you, are indignant with the
college for permitting scenes like those
Of last Sunday morning. May ask
the football team how much good ad-
vertising the college receives when
some Of its best friends at home are
growing hostile to it on account Of the
conduct Of the men who go away to
advertise the college to strangers?'
Here there was slight attempt at
applause on the part Of few students
who enjoyed the way the president
was rubbing it into" the football
team. He instantly and with some
sternness checked it and continued:
Hereafter wish it to be distinctly
understood that every football and
baseball player In the college shall be
held as strictly to account for his
grades In all class and laboratory work
Is any other students. also wish it to
be understood that II these trips of the
football team away from the college
are continued to the evident loss Of
time that belongs to the college work
steps win be taken By the college au-
thorities to consider the advisability Of
dropping football out Of the college al

Of the hour there was no lack Of excit-
ed interest on the part OF every one
when the president announced his sub
ject for the chapel talk to be 'The Re
lation Of College Athletics to the Rest
Of the College Development. =
He had not definitely put himself on
record az he now began to do. And
over the faces Of many Of the students
and even the professors shade Of se1-
preston deepened as the president
went on and made his own position
very clear. ... :. .s z-sz

"After l have said all this heartily
and gladly must insist on q definition
Of college athletics that puts it in its
proper place in a college course. It
ought to be evident to every young
man and woman in q college like ours
that the main business OF our lives
while here in this institution Is to de-
velop the best all around men and wo,

intelligent Christian character. Let me
say It frankly, this development could
probably 60 on just as satisfactorily If
football were, not played here at all.
We could easily find and use other
forms of physical development that
would take its place.: But it would be
impossible to find anything to take the
place of the intelligent, intellectual
Christian training that you are here to
get. In other words, you are not in
this college to play football as the first
or even the secondary purpose of a col
slege course. You are here to make of
yourselves men and women such as the
world needs to make it better world.
