terestingy.

EDITOR CENsoR:--Since our last let
ter the two leading men in the United
Church have been seriously ILL., The
president, whose case for "a long time
seemed hopeless, and whose final depart
ure seemed only q matter of time, is
somewhat better and there are now
hopes of his recovery. Our college Pres
ident Kildahl, lies sick at hospital in
Chicago. On Feb. 2lst. he departed
for Chicago to undergo an operation for
appendicitis. The case proved more
serious than anticipated, for besides
appendicitis there were other internal
troubles so that the operation nearly
cost him his life. Considering the cir
cumstances, the operation was quite
successful. but on the 2Tth he began to
decline, and Mrs. Kiidahl was telegraph
ed for. His condition appeared quite
alarming for few hours. but on March
1st the crisis WIS over, and the last re-
port of March s, says he will be well
again in two week DIR. S. Dahl says
he is going to make a new man Of him
before he sends him home. The proba-
bilities are that he will not be able to
do any more work this school year Last
Friday collection of money was sent
TO N. B. Kildahl TO buy flowers for the
sick man, as token Of love from the
students. They are patiently waiting
his return. There will be jubilee at
st. Olafs on that day. Prof. II. Ytter
Doe serves as president
E. Sovik, the senior who went to La
Crosse TO be operated on by DR. Gunder-
son. has returned and feels quite we'll
Mr.. r. Mohn has also returned after
his illness, so that all the seniors met
for the first time this term on February
90. Two others of the seniors have felt
rather indisposed this last week. The
seniors have had very hard work this
year-rather to hard and will have the
rest of this term at least We hope the
spring term will be easier. Those elect
ed by the class to write for the Ware
oratorical contest between the senior
classes of st Olaf and Carleton, are
working hard, and will have the prelim-
mary contest next Saturday. On Feb
ruary 81, the st. Olaf band gave its an
nual program in the auditorium. 1t
proved grand success, and the follow
ing evening Prof Onstad was surprised
with sum of $50 from the teachers aud
students as tokens of appreciation of his
faithful services. During the spring
kHt Ddfu VIII tdhc Week lOI COutei tE
in different cities
On February 27th. Frederic Ward,
the famous Shakespearian actor gave
an interesting lecture on Shakespeare to
St Olaf students and faculty The next
day Rev. J o. Haugen from Decorah,
Iowa, gave us a lecture on ''Co-educa-
ton. Although he made few joking
remarks about co-education as we usual
ly understand that term, his hearers
were surprised to learn his interpreta-
ton of it, He lectured on 'Co-educa-
tion of Heart and Mind, which was
very interesting and instructive.
On March 81 examinations begin and
from 25th to April 3, we have spring
vacation Some of the students will go
home for short visit, others viii visit
with friends, aud some will go to Mime
apolis All the seniors will likely re-
main here to work on their final theses.
Only one short term left and they must
bid goodbye to st. Olaf and college days,
