THE SPIRIT OF GIVING
Over $4,000 Was Raised at Mass
Meeting For the Erection of
Century Memorial Hall.

The spirit Of giving to the college
undertaking was a strong feature of
the mass meeting at the corn palace
Wednesday evening, and what seemed
something Of a mountain of difficulty
at the start melted rapidly away un-
der the persuasive accents of Bishop,
McCabe and the earnest solicitations
of the gentlemen who worked in the
audience. 1t vas desired to raise
$l0.0 on this occasion for the cree
tion of the Century Memorial Hall.
The sum Of SO, 1921 was footed up at
the close of the work.
The meeting Wednesday evening
was the second mass meeting of the
Methodist Educational convention,
and it was a magnificent success.
The great auditorium was practically
filled with people, which denoted a
great spirit of interest in our college
and its needs and growth. The SER
vices were opened with singing q
hymn. n of the old kind that always
puts an audience in good humor.
One of the musical features of the
evening was the duet rendered by
Miss Goodykoontz and Miss Becker, a
selection from Die Freischutz. 1t
was an excellent number and was
given in a charming manner by these
two singers. Mrs. Maude Silsby-
Nichols presided at the piano..
DR.. Mcdowell delivered a brief ad-
dress along educational lines. and his
talk was Of a very interesting char
acter. He went on to say that when
he vas a college student that during
his vacations he went home and list
ened to his old preacher lay down
certain laws that were to be followed.
That is. that between a scholarship
and piety, piety must be chosen; be-
tween conservation and culture, con-
secration must be chosen, etc. DR..
Mcdowell said that such ideas were
wrong, that in choosing between
conservation and culture one must
choose both, for n is absolutely a
necessity to the other, and he de-
clared that he had as little use for
the cultured man without consecra-
ton as the c~onsecrated man without
culture. He said if the church OF
God is going to save this world it
must be done by men who possess
these attributes. They must 20 to-
gether.
In speaking Of college growth DR..
Mcdowell referred to a college that
in 1S45 had but an hundred students.
and to show what can be done by a
small college he enumerated the men
who had gone forth from that little
institution, and they were men Of
today and in years past who have
conducted the thought Of the country
along religious and scientific lines.
He said he liked the small college,
for in it there was always the element
of growth and development. He be-
lieved that 10 other agency equips
the young men Of the country better
than the Christian college,; the well
fare of the republic and Of the church

itself depends upon this institution.
DR.. Mcdowell said that this is the
imperial crisis Of the country and
that it needed a breed of men to come
into the contest, the like OF which
the old world had never seen.
Bishop McCabe was down on the
program for an address and when he
arose to speak he announced his
subject as 81 want S15,O00." With
that as q starter the bishop launched
forth in the enterprise and for an
hour and a half he stood manfully by
his text, declaring that he would be
satisfied with SO, 900, as the balance
would be Forthcoming if that sum was
raised. The people became enthusi-
astic for the erection Of Century
Memorial Hall, and their gifts were
given with a cheerfulness and freedom
that %betOkened a seemingly warmer
feeling for the Institution than ever
before. The subscriptions rolled in.
They came from citizens of Mitchell
in sums ranging from $40 to $500: the
laymen delegates to the convention
from all parts Of the state made re-
sponses Of like sums, and the preach
ers themselves did we'll in increasing
their donations. The ladies took a
hand in the matter Of giving and a
bunch of ten contributed 500; then
the students got busy and 25 of them
pledged something like $175; then the
ladies' aid Of the NJ. E. church took
up a portion Of the debt by giving
800. The bishop kept injecting
stories and illustrations Of giving as
the evening progressed and these
opened the pursestrings a little wider.
The committee was very active
through the audience in securing
pledges and the work was not allowed
to lag to any great extent duling the
evening. There was great rejoicing
at the close Of the meeting when the
total amount was figured and it was
ascertained that SO, 321 had been sub
scribed toward the building fund.
Bishop McCabe expressed himself as
being highly pleased with the result
of the evenings work, but he found
the people a very generous class in
deed, the kind that the west pro-
duces. The number Of subscriptions
amounted to 1872.
The visitors from other towns to
the convention have evidenced a
strong feeling for the expansion of
the University. Some splendid on
tributions were made by citizens Of
Redield, Vermillion, Yankton, Aber-
deem, Woonsocket, and other cities of
the state. 1t showed that these peo-
pie were interested in the University
to a large extent when IN many cases
they have doubled the amounts prev
iously given. Mitchell people showed
a splendid loyalty to the new institu-
tion, and this meeJing has brought
the, college and town into closer re-
lationship and it is evident that there
is going to be a greater appreciation
Of the institution in the future. This
interest has been awakened by the
fact that outside people have taken
hold of the building project so liber-
ally and they can see that by a
united action and a solid support
that the college can take front rank
in the state just as we'll as standing
in a less pre-eminent position.

Methods Only Differ.

Women in France can obtain the
right to wear trousers by paying to
the government a tax of $40. The
right can be obtained in the United
States, in several instances, merely
by marriage, with the tax paid to the
minister, in fee simple.

GOT REST OF MONEY
Convention Thursday Morning Raised
Rest of the $4,000 for the
University Building.

At the Educational Convention
Thursday morning DR.. Mcdowell was
the first speaker. He said: "The
greatest single interest which South
Dakota has is the University. I be-
lieve in every form Of Christian ac-
tivity and benevolence. The most
fruitful Of all the energies of the
church are those which are spent in
the interest OF Christian education.
The training Of a boy or girl for
lives If usefulness is a great prob
lem. In nearly every other form of
benevolence you are dealing with a
problem in addition, but in the edu-
cational problem you have one in
multiplication. Pres. Eliot. of Har-
ward, says: Nothing is so permanent
as the churches, except the colleges
1T is a great tragedy for a 5O-cent
boy to get a 81, 1000 education, but
that is nothing to the tragedy of
a So, 900 boy getting a 50-cent educa-
tion. The tragedy Of life is the pos
sibility of getting a good education
and not getting 1.-THE boy who
ought TO have had the, greatest
chance getting no chance at all. We
must not attempt to cheat our child
rem in the name Of Christ. Don't
give educational facilities at expense
of religion, or religion at expense of
education. Like Alice in Wonder
land it takes a tremendous pace Just
to stay where you are. l do not
believe that any kind of college is
good enough for Methodist boys and
girls. 1t is not good enough unless
it is a good college. 1t is not the
question between what we offer and
nothing, but what we offer and what
we a get. Cultivate the atmos-
phere of friendliness to Dakota Uni
versity in your home and church.
Victory must first be faith and then
fact, and what is potent now will
be actual hereafter"

Had to Break Long Custom.

The Venerable Rev. Luther F..
Beecher failed for the first time in
his long life to vote at the town cleo
ton in Brookline, Mass, last week.
He is ninety years Of age, and,
though in fairly good health, finds it
difficult to climb stairs. which was
the reason Of his failure to vote.

have a deeper interest in the younp
men and women who will make
home and state better. The word
welcome has a spiritual meaning
TO US today. We want you to more
keenly appreciate the power of this
institution. We need for state and
society Christian men who have
noble purposes. These men are made
in Christian colleges. We stand for
Christian development. In behalf of
the students Clarion d. Hardy said
in part: "Our lives are filled with
changes. Yesterday we were stu
dents, tomorrow men and women in
the worlds affairs. We are here
because it is good for us to be here.
We are preparing for grander tasks.
Rivalry is often in evidence, but
unity Of sentiment and action in our
university is never lost. Good fell
lowship reigns. We are in college for
Christian culture. The college de-
velops the mental nature, but we do
not neglect the spiritual.
Pres. Graham, for the faculty,
said: "We have the buttermakers'
convention, and the cattlemen's con-
vention. They put their best thought
to improving butter, the cattle and
the horse. 1 welcome you as a con-
vention on a lower level than none
the highest. You are here as a con-
vention for man-making-the CON
plete man.
The response by DR.. Mcdowell
moved the audience profoundly. AS
he spoke Of college life, it's enthusi-
asm and friendships, laughter and
tears, alternately manifested them
selves. In part he said: "This sort
OF thing touches US all. There is
enthusiasm enough within these walls
to keep this institution from perish
ing. There is no place left but the
college where the picturesque
element atides. In college we speak
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth. Conventionality has not TAX
en- possession OF US here. The life
of an institution is in the hands of
it's students and graduates. Iwant
to see in behalf of an institution
born support of prayer and consecra-
ton a little more of enthusiasm and
activity and less of conventionality.
Get off the bleachers and into the
game. a great many people have the
impression that their clothes should
be made for sitting down-but they
are for action. The best ADVERTISE
ment for Dakota University is her
students and graduates. Play the
game.n
Rev. E. P. Hall, of Aberdeen,
said in part: "We have this college
OF u hearts. A man must be up
and awake and doing to compete
with the world. The world is very
much alive in this age. We need
you, young men and women, to help
mold this world. There is only one

to God-public opinion. You are to
help form it. Young men and young
women, you are born to be kings in
this world.'
Bishop McCabe gave the closing
address: ."There is some thought of
distributing the Bishops. 1 hope not
in my day. I want to feel the thrill
of the expansion Of our church. /
have been thinking Of the bands of
students in South America = they
have the same enthusiasm as you.
Young men walk 400 miles to attend
the schools. Methodism's great did,
cese is the world. Bless the teacher
and the school who %inculcates the
thought of personal responsibility to
God. Methodism is kept alive by it's
spiritual power"
