idly the events of the early part of their
own lives.
College enthusiasm IS infectious. When
a crowd Of 200 or 300 students each with
a good set of IIngs, begin to give the
yells that distinguish them from the
students of other schools, everyone
within hearing distance cannot help but
feel a thrill which makes them look back
with regret and long for the days when
they. too, were in school. The time
spent in college is one feature OF man
or womans life and is hardly complete
without It. There is nothing that will
arouse enthusiasm in a young man or
woman as the contest between their fell
low students and the students from other
schools be it either a contest on the
gridiron or on the stage in debate or ora

year and all the pent up spirit that has
been lurking within for the past eight

causes the students to give with all their
might those yeIls and songs that are such
a feature Of college life.
