The vote of Senator CulIom, Mr..

Both sides had claimed him. He

While no pairs were announced,
Senator Aldrich was paired on 9TH

Before one Of the largest audiences

Pratt Dewey, d. D., pastor Of the Ply

Sunday evening most powerful ad-
dress. For almost two hours DR..
Dewey held the rapt attention of all
and every one went away with the
feeling Of having been helped by the
inspiring sermon.
The seniors and faculty, attired in
cap and gown, marched into the gym

A resume of the address by DR..
Dewey on Utilizing the Gift" fol-
lows:
The first desire, as we think of
LIES controlling aims. is to do some
thing, to exercise our powers. It has
been said that we are all as lazy as
We dare be; but If this be so, it is
still true that If men do not work in
one way, they will in another. If not
in the Office, shop. store or on the
farm, then on the tennis court, grid
iron or diamond.
And the desire is not only to do
something, but to do something worth
doing; to put ones whole vitality into
some worthy work and obtain rewards
commensurate with the labor involved.
