the means Of bringing visitors to the
University. A great many of the min
listers have taken occasion to attend
the chapel exercises, q. few at least
being in attendance every day this
week. The students AVE enjoyed
many fine talks from these visiting
ministers and their speeches have
been a welcome relief from the dreary
monOtony OF the usual chapel rou-
tine.
1t is surprising to note what a large
number of sons and daughters OF
ministers are enrolled in school as is
evidenced by the great number Of
ministers who have taken the oppor-
tunity to visit their children during
conference time. Although no sta
tistics have been compiled from the
records. it is a safe guess that the
children of ministers represent a larg-
er portion of the student body than
the children of men engaged in any
other OCCUPATION or profession.
! AT a meeting of the Senior Glass a
few days ago, the following officers
were elected: VIM. Morse, president;
Nellie Hudson, vice president; Edna
MacLachlan, secretary, and John
Chapman, treasurer. Strangely
enough no party feeling was mani
tested in the election. the officers be-
ing divided equally among the four
College societies represented in the
class.
A recent action of 1.-THE powers that
be" that affects the literary societies
was announced by President Kerfoot
a few days ago. Henceforth, no So
ciety will be allowed to have more
than thirty-five members. This has
been the maximum number of MEM
bers provided for by the constitutions
of all the societies, but the faculty
found the constitution of some of the
societies rather elastic and hence felt
the necessity OF taking this action.
j. Ernest Washburn, 10, who will
soon sail to Paraguay, South Ameri-
CA rs a missionary under the Meth
odist board, returned from South
ern California last Tuesday where he
has been visiting friends and rela-
tives. While bathing at Long Beach,
Mr.. Washburn had a very thrilling
experience, very nearly losing his life.
An e0uinoctial storm was going on,
creating waves from six to eight feet
high. and the undertow caught Mr..
Washburn and carried him far out
to sea. He was rescued by some OF
the professional life e on the
beach. but Indignantly denies that he
was brought in unconscious as was re-
ported in the Los Angeles papers.
