B COLLEGE.
school Year starts Under Favorable
Conditions.

The affairs Of Tabo college are moving
in the right direction and awakening a large
interest among the citizens Of the commu-
nifty. The opening address by Rev. Lucius
o.. Baird, pastor OF the st. Mary's Avenue
Congregational church of Omaha, was
very inspiring. His topic was The Pioneer
Spirit the spirit which Is unsatisfied, but
not dissatisfied. AS applied to the student
he illustrated how the pioneer spirit leads
to vigorous Independent action and to the
accomplishment Of great things in life.
The Tabor High school attended the
opening exercises, in a body, and the audi
ence composed of college students, teachers,
high school students and citizens made It
an inspiring one to address.
The new faculty Is very enthusiastic and
loyal in their work in directing the stu
dents along the path OF higher education.
The enrolment shows a decided increase,
the freshman class being four times as
large as that of a year ago. Nebraska,
North Dakota. Wisconsin and Missouri are
we'll represented in the student body.
The reception given by the Young
woman's Christian association on Thursday
evening was attended by all the young
women and the women in the families OF
the faculty. II was a very enjoyable oc-
casion. The invitations by the girls show
that the enrolment OF young women in
the college has increased so per cent over
that Of one year ago.
The Young Mems Christian association
reception occurred the same evening and
was attended by a larger number of young
men than ever before,
The board OF trustees gave on Monday
night. September u. a reception to the
faculty. giving a special invitation to peo-
pie Of the town and community to come
and meet the new members. 1t proved to be
one OF the largest and most enjoyable re-
ceptions ever given in Tabor.
Arrangements are now being made for an
educational conferences OF the ministers of
the three western associations in Iowa to
be hold in Tabor during the last week in
October. ..,
The college is getting In closer touch with
it's natural constituency and arousins
greater interest in the good work being
done here.
Substantial additions have been made to
the membership OF all the college students
except that Of the seniors, and several old
students have returned who were elsewhere
last year.
A systematic advertising and student
canvass campaign was carried on during
the summer, resulting in a decided Increase
in the number Of students. Careful work
is being done in all departments and each
has been materially strengthened.
New teachers of proved ability have been
added to the faculty and there Is an active
upward movement throughout the whole
institution.
