The first College Hour Of the
wear was held in the college chapel
from Il to ] o clock last Tuesday.
The meeting was opened by an ad-
dress BY Mr.. r. c. Young, who ran
rapidly over the many Improvements
which had resulted from the full
interchange of ideas and opinions
between the students and faculty.
DR. Bishop followed with an ad-
dress. in which he stated the object
of having this hour set apart in each
month. Saying that the prime OBJ
ject of having College Hour was to
bring the students and faculty closer
together and. let them freely and
without hesitation suggest something
which would add to the strength of
the college. thereby obtaining results
which would be impossible to OBJ
tain without a full interchange OF
ideas.
Mr.. Bell spoke on class spirit,
suggesting that each class have Its
hats with the numbers upon them
He also suggested that the line be
tween the different classes be more
distinctly drawn. that there DC more
rivalry between the classes, and this
he said, could be had by organizing
class teams which would compel
each year for cup which would b

Philip weekly review. [volume] (Philip, Stanley County, S.D.) 1907-1912, 1909-01-12

In his message to the legislature,
a synopsis of which may be found
on another page, Governor Vessey
recommends the building of
hospital for inebriates, and that
one half the money derived by the
state from licenses be laid aside
for the maintenance OF the same.
Such an institution would not
cover a large field of work in this
state, and would have approximate
ly S3OO,O year for building and
maintenance. Being necessarily for
enforced treatment, for the ordin-
airy man who would get away from
the habit would prefer to take
treatment ut some private sani-
tarium, and those who would be
cared for at this institution would
be hopeless wrecks and like an in
sane person, it would seem that
the requirement of separate in
stitution would be necessary. The
state has an asylum ut Yankton
that is oyercrowded. and the build
ings are unsafe in several ways. 1t
needs enlargement and repairing.
The state has also set aside lands at
Watertown for second hospital
for the insane, but rs yet no start
has been made for the buildings.
This legislature should make ap-
preparations for the hospital at
Watertown, and, if deemed neces-
sary, arrange for a ward for
the treatment Of inebriates ut the
new institution. The state has
room for little more than 1000
insane patients, and needs room
for approximately $500: it might
be that twenty-five inebriates
would be found yearly that were
proper subjects for the states care.
Philip weekly review. [volume] (Philip, Stanley County, S.D.) 1907-1912, 1909-01-12

The people of Philip and those
interested in the growth OF its
institutions are informed that the
towns newspaper enterprises are
about to become Eganized. One
Of the publishers of the opposition
paper announced last week while
at the county seat, that his ener-
gies and those of his paper would
be used for the purpose of max
ing Rainey walk out OF Philip"
We are indeed pleased to learn
that such is to be the result OF our
labors and our ambitions. We
are not informed, though, of the
date of the execution, and are in
the meantime waiting for the
running out" process to begin.
