DEAN PENN|MAN
At THE |. D: S. j.
Addressed the Students of that
Institution This Morning
At Devotional.
PROF. EBAUGH ALSO SPOKE.
And the Student Athletes Received a
High Complement From the
President.

Dean Penniman of the college de-
partment of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania was a visitor at the Latter-day
Saints university this morning, and
was much interested in the work and
certain phases OF that institution. He
was accompanied by Prof. Ebaugh Of
the University Of Utah, who announced
the lecture the Old Testament In the
Light Of Some Modern Explorations "
tonight in the free library, by Or. Pen
niman.
Dr. Pennman was introduced to the
assembled students by President Paul,
and he delivered brief, thoughtful adj
dress.
DIR. PENNIMAN'S REMARKS.
The doctor began by telling Of the
difference he observed here and in the
University Of Pennsylvania, The latter,
Re said is not oo-educational lnsti-
tuition. He had therefore In his work
In the university very little to do with
college girls-nor with any other sort,
for that matter This remark created
a ripple OF laughter and applause, which
was repeated more enthusiastically
when the doctor went on to say that
this reminded him Of the man who said
he had five children, and that half OF
them were girls. How that could be
people were wondering, TIL he informed
l,af oil e,tr
MIA Is precisely similar. the doctor re-
marked only that her children are
practically all boys The University,
he said, was afraid 40 admit girls lest
so many would enter that they could
not be managed.
The doctor proceeded to tell how linz
tied life would be were It not for the
fact that through the study Of records
we are enabled to live, as 1t were, In
the ancient world and to realize the life
OF distant countries and peoples; to
know what Shakespeare knew, simply
By a study Of what he wrote, and to
enlarge our own confined experience till
1t comprehends much that individual
experience could never include.
PROF PAUL ON ATHLETICS.
wish to say, said Prest. Paul, some
thing definite, and, in my way of think
ing, something highly complimentary,
OF the basket ball team and their train
er, Instructor Milne. AS you know,
they have won the last two games
they played, and all but won the recent
game with the state champions They
lost the latter game by only two points,
and these were two points awarded TO
their opponents by the referee because
Of the conduct Of some OF the onlookers.
But what ! wish TO say of our boys Is
this: Though IN height and weight
they are by far outclassed as compared
with most OF the teams they are play
ing against yet In the true science OF
the game and In physical condition they
seem to be superior to any of their OPP
ponents. 1t Is this fact OF which / am
proud in relation to our boys. They
show the true effects of real training
team work and endurance or course
II Is a satisfaction to win but winning
counts mostly for outside show, and
often some trlning accident or perhaps
the physical condition OF single play
er. We are also proud of the fact that
our players are all students, well
abreast OF their class work and In no
sense dellnduents. Not the least note
worthy Is the fact that one OF these
players has recently been elected by the
votes of his fellow students to the posi-
ton Of president OF the student body.
CLYDE Lindsay Is real student and ey-
cry inch q gentleman prolonged APP
plause) His associates on the team are
OF similar quality
Clyde Lindsay was then called upon
and gave an account Of the games, the
students applauding bis modest and
clear description Of the playing OF his
men
