DAKOTA UNIVERSITY NOTES

OHNOtn ONiV NO'GS
Messrs. Evans, Miller and others
spent Monday huskjng corn for Farm
er Keene.
A little parlor party made a glad
some time at Miss Knights residence,
Tuesday evening.
If you should see anyone looking
for the pencils that disappeared so
mysteriously from the machine in the
hall just watch him when he finds
Ped.
Now is a good time to prepare to
go to Huron next month. Time flies
fast and the eventful time will soon
be here.
Mr.. Tanner made a trip to his home
in Canton, Monday, returning Tues
day.
The general agent of DR.. Chasc's
works has been with us this week.
He provides very lucrative employ
ment for energetic, Industrious stu
dents.
Systematic training at the gymnas-
ium has now begun in earnest. Wig
orous exercise, a thorough rubbing
and hot or cold baths make the work
a genuine pleasure.
Several additional workmen have
been put on the force at the new
building. We will be more than
pleased to see the new hall done when
we return in the fall.
his children, Ella and Paul, this
week.
The Juniors will have to put up
their Haunting colors a little higher
next time or else watch them torn
down and distributed pr~olniscuously
to the rank and file.
The Missionary rally in the chapel
Sunday afternoon was a great success
in every particular. Rev. James
CrOwthers delivered a very strong
address to a very attentive audience.
A pleasing program of musical
numbers in charge Of PORT. Lardner
opened the exercises. At the con-
clusion a collection was taken for
the support of a working missionary
in India.
We must have more college spirit.
The times demand it. The life of
the institution needs it. The faculty
longs for cases to try. Bumped heads
and cracked limbs are necessary
adJuncts Of a preparation for life.
The Seniors must be humbled.
Capture a red cap and keep it as a
trophy. Organize Systematically:
Freshmen and Juniors versus Sopho-
mores and Seniors. Do anything,
we must have excitement. Who'll be
the first?
Thursday morning a distinguished
individual' mounted the rostrum
and turning his eyes upon the meek
and Lowry at once gave voice to a few
remarks. which we are requested to
report to the city papers" A
somewhat hasty review is herewith
given:
First: There is a time for every
thing, occasions for college spirit not
excepted.
Second: The little episode which
occurred on the campus Wednesday
morning was untimely, since it de-
moralized the institution.
Third: The demonstration in
chapel Immediately following the
victory of the Freshies was not in
keeping with the solemnity of the
occasion.
Fourth: Such actions must not be
repeated in the future.
Such in brief is the sum Of his re-
marks. He spoke in a clear, natural
tone and at times waXed so
humorous that the audience clapped
their hands for mirth. At one time
his remarks made slight mention Of
the Phreno. AS a whole the address
was quite sound and logical, showing
us, as it did, about where we stand,
as regards college spirit. In fact we
are somewhat Of the opinion that
considerable more of it could be in
Obliged in without seriously r%upturing
the private opinions Of the speaker.
