NATIONAL ROCK FOR STATE
BY PAUL SINSHEINER.

Through the researches of Angel. the
federal government has been impressed
with the antiquity and proposes to set
1t apart as a national monument The
owners of the rancho upon which it
stands have expressed a willingness to
dedicate the required acreage to the
government
The Carrisa plain, from which rises
the temple of stone, lies parching under
torrid sun through the long summers.
A thousand feet above the level Of the
sea. it stretches 65 miles TO the north
and south. Spanning dozen miles east
and west. it reaches to the slopes OF the
Monte Diablo range. showing its south
eastern corner wedge shaped. into the
Midway oil field of Kern county. A lake
of salt and soda marks its center. Sui
phur basins dot its broad expanse.
The Painted Rock writes Angel,
"attains an elevation of near 200 feet
above the surrounding plain. 1t meas
ures 1000 feet In diameter at its base.
On Its eastern ridge through a narrow
portal 20 feet in width has been exca-
waited an oval chamber or amphitheater
800 feet In length by 200 feet in it's
widest place. open to the sky, with per-
pendicular walls $50 feet high
On gallery running partly around
the chamber are the weird paintings.
These strange hierogiyphics. defying
Interpretation, appear at times as mere
markings, again as grotesque designs,
occasionally as drawings of fish or ami
mails. and again as crude reproductions
OF the human body.
That the great rock was originally a
place of worship for the ancient tribes
Is firmly believed
In all lands are sacred noun
tains, says Angel. the historian, and
the Painted rock was the sacred noun
tam OF the most ancient people of Cali
rornia. Here these people of this west
ern wilderness had created a temple
rlVallng the great temples Of the world
and standing at this time as one of the
most sacred and lasting monuments of
mankind .
With the coming of the white man
into this pastoral country the temple
was used as a corral for stock. A gate
was placed at its entrance and as many

nightly within>the Enclosure.

purpose. 1t was to call attention to Its
mystery and historical significance that
anger prepared. his monograph. Into
lne recital he has woven the legend
that has clung to the stones through
the centuries. The story tells OF high
priest among the Indians who ordered
the nrst inscriptions as q blessing upon
the land. and of his successor, who, Of

ANNUAL BANQUET.
Commencement Dinner at Wright
Hall Last Thursday

The annual commencement dinner
brought the exercises of the week to
fitting close. Two hundred and
twenty-five people sat down to the
final meal in the great dining room
of Wright Hail. And such a meal!
Miss Albertson's commencement din
ners are famous the country over,
but this time she surpassed all past
records not only in the quality of the
dinner but in the manner in which it
was served
The post prondial program, too,
was in its way, equally good. DR..
Bruske called to act as POSTMASTER
+. r. Hurst, of the class of 'O4, and
he presided in his usual humorous
and graceful manner. Mr.. Hurst was
loaded for bear, as it were, in the
shape of funny stories which he used
in telling way to hit off the pecu-
liarities and idiocyncracies of those
on whom he called for speeches. He
first proposed the toast THE Board
of Trustees" and asked Mr.. John F.
Seeley, of Caro-, to respond.
Mr.. Seeley proved himself to be a
master in the difficult art of after
dinner speaking. He did not make
the mistake, which so many Ameri-
can speakers do, of thinking that he
must be funny He called attention
to the interest OF the Trustees not
only in the college as whole, but in
every individual graduate and mem
Der of the College, how they follow
ed them after leaving College and
gloried in their success and achieve
ments.
Mr.. Fred Soule, 'O6, responded to
the toast "The Alumni and clearly
demonstrated that a theological
course and a university training have
not robbed him of his former grace
before an audience but rather in
creased it. The central note of Mr..
Soule's toast was loyalty.
"The class OF 1910" was the next
toast proposed, and the response was
given by the ever-ready and versatile
Graves.
DR. Bruske closed the exercises by
pointing out the needs Of the College,
showing how they may be achieved,
and finally leading in the singing OF
"Auld Lang Syne."

BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS.

On Sunday evening, June ~, the
members OF the graduating classes
marched to the Presbyterian church
to hear the baccalaureate sermon,
which was preached by DR.. Bruske.
Because of the strong character of
the address DR.. Bruske has delivered
from year TO year to the college
classes this part of the commence
ment exercises has come to occupy a
most important part.
The President took as his text "The
Heavenly Vision" and dwelt at
length upon the three visions of Paul
Paul had three visions; one of sin;
one of duty, and one of destiny.
Every man sooner or later has these
visions and as he strives to profit uy
them he increases in efficiency and as
he lets them pass by unnoticed, he
decreases his efficiency Men become
stronger as they live true to the
vision of duty and a glorious destiny
This address was fit beginning to a
glorious week.
