PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD.

Educational interests occupied the at.
tention of the delegates to the seventy
second annual meeting of the synod OF
Michigan in the Forest-Ave., Presby-
terian church Wednesday morning, spec
ial attention being given to the reports
concerning Alma college and Michigan
seminary. While the various opinions
expressed relating to both these institu-
tons were, that as educational institutions
they possessed unusual advantages, the
financial reports differed greatly
The Rev. Augustus f. Bruske, ID. D..
president of Alma college, who has been
connected with that institution for the
last II years gave a most optimistic adj
dress concerning both the past and fut-
ure of the college.
The year just gone is the most prosper
Gus in the history of the college," said
DIR. Bruske. 1.-The college is absolutely
out of debt and the enrolment is the
largest we have ever had. The receipts
for l9o5-o6 were $SI, ,I3o.6 90, and the dis
bursements $SI, ,766. SO, with small sur
plus on hand"
DR.. Bruske referred to the fact that
William Jennings Bryan was graduate
of Presbyterian college and was presi-
dent of the board of trustees of his alma
mater; that Bryan, at one time attended a
meeting of the synod and had told the
delegates that the best way to promote
the welfare of the Presbyterian church
was by multiplying free scholarship
among them; that he advocated making
colleges free TO students.
In giving his report to the visiting
committee at Alma college, the Rev.
Frederick w. Lewis said:
"Alma may not have means, but she
has men, The teachers there do not inn
press you as limp-handed officers and
teachers, chiefly anxious to draw salaries,
but rather as those who are looking for
the dividends OF their mental and spirit
ual investments"

The expressed wishes of his constitu-

Special CORRESPONDENT.

The game between Alma and +. l. was
the biggest game of the season for the
Institute men. The band met the people
down town and led them up to the grid
iron. The game was called for one
O'Clock, and between six and seven hun.
dred very enthusiastic people were
assembled. Alma kicked off to 4. /.
During the first half they got the ball
down to our three yard line, but our
boys held them for downs, and kicked
the ball-out of danger. After that the
ball was in their territory. Alma made
one try for place kick but the attempt
was bad. In the second half +. l. kicked
to Alma, who kept the ball in their ter
ritory during the entire half. Our boys
made a touchdown during the second
half, but the officials wouldn't allow II
because they thought that forward pass
was made by the quarterback to the cen
ter within FIVE yards of the center, and
penalized us fifteen yards instead of FIVE
yards as the rules would say. After this
they tried one play and put the ball in
front of the goal posts. Then Marshall
got his place kick from the twenty five
yard line. Only four minutes were left
to play. After thi. the ball remained in
the center of the field.
Alma was handicapped on account of
Casterlin, quarterback, being absent, but
Dan Duncanson showed up very well for
the first game. The feature of the game
was when Capt. McCollum blocked a
punt, and Horst fell on it on the eight
yard line which eventually gave us the
game.
The crowd treated Our boys very nicely.
The College took good care of the team;
but the Alma players complained of dirty
work from the F. 1. team. All In all the
game was y. X.

Good sound common sense coupled
with accommodating methods and courteous
treatment of everyone he meets accounts
in a great measure for the popularity of
Gratiot Cos. efficient Register of Deeds,
John c. Watson. Mr. Watson although
a young man has business qualification
that might well be envied by many an
older man, and the manner i'll which the
Registers Office has been conducted for
the past two years accounts for the fact
that he was nominated at the recent re-

young men of the school thought it
would be fine sport to have some apples
to eat. So they procured sufficient
number of men and marched bravely
across the campus to an orchard of most
delicious winter fruit. However, it hap
pened that two of their men had gotten
far ahead and were ready TO welcome
them. Very peculiar were the results Of
this reception. The little band of gentle
men neared the orchard fence, under
the inspiration of their dignifed leader
who was chanting those heroic words
"Onward Christian Soldiers" and as he
turned right about" to give an order of
''charge," he was struck in the back
with an apple, thrown by the one in adj
vance. Immediately the alarm was given
that the farmer was watching for them
and he ran faster than any other man in
the bunch. Two of the boys were so
frightened that nothing could pursuade
them to go out into the night air again
In fact one did look like Epitaph.
