I'VE bid you one and all a hearty
welcome this afternoon to Join with
US in the observation Of class day.
Members Of the alumni, we are
glad to bid you welcome. You, more
than any others, know what class day
means. You know that 1t means that
we have come to the parting Of the
ways, where each one Of US must
seek his separate path. leaving his
alma mater, with all that It means,
behind him; to measure himself
against his fellowmen in that larger
life outside the college walls. to meet
and conquer. or be conquered by the
problems which will confront him.
You, especially know that class day
means the breaking of the ties ce-
mented by four years Of endeawor,
and that In a few weeks all that will
be left us of our college days will be
the memories which will grow dearer
year by year.

Of the earth. 1t shall give people
what that people needs and a.; sure
ly as night follows day. the great
think and to seek the source Of
knowledge.
Graduates Must Achieve.
Resting on the great ideal that
must underlie real higher educa-
ton. is that principle that puts the
leader, that puts the individual not on
a mountain but draws in the seething
mass of men.
Let no student demand a high po-
sition because he has spent in study
the four years through which other
men have toiled to keep alive his in
stitution. Let him not demand that
men preceive his excellence. We
have known a graduate who was sad
ly disappointed when a world that
was tired Of compliments and books,
did not, on the day after graduation,
make beaten path to his door. Sor-
ry is he who thinks himself above the
man who starts at the bottom. No
man justifies a higher education I'M
less he can begin on the bottom step
and work out of the crowd that al
ways struggles around the lower
stairs. The world doesn't care very
much for the Greek and the Latin
that come at college. The best that
go up over football here do not
come from the men who are fighting
the battles of real world. The stir
ring tones of a college orator do not
reach the ears of many men who de-
mand the real achievements of
world that is full of knotty problems.
No man who graduates has yet be-
gun to do things, has yet achieved, for
college life is not the world of action.
If graduate has done his part, he
has learned the things which a later
opportunity will give him power to
apply. If his college has availed he
will apply those things in a world of
men. If any college sends out men
and women who are too good to
plunge into the besmirched politics of
a state. then that college is a detri-
ment to men. If it sends out men
who dare not go into the thick of
the fight where the man of men is
crowding, the college does not we'll
and time will wipe it from the earth.
Taking with us from the college
the ideals that she has given, ours is
the task to justif." the school that has
shown us to ourselves Ours is the
task to justify ideals. to walk with
kings and keep the common touch.
Ours is the task to name a victory for
the system of higher education. If
we are to fail, then you who follow
must succeed. If we succeed, then
your opportunity, your obligation will
be the greater We stand to run
race. The course is rough. The odds
are with us if we follow the way that
alma mater has pointed out
We have not yet achieved, we have
not fought, we have not conquered
Yet we look into the kindly eyes of
the fostering mother to whom We bid
a fond farewell and we dare to hone
for achievement, to have confidence
for battles. to have dreams of con-
quest.

Valedictory, salutatory, Poem
And History Were Part

FARCE FEATURE
ONE BIG SCREAM

The class day exercises Of the grad
uating class Of the university were
held this afternoon at the Metro
ipolitan theatre. A large number of
alumni and visiting friends were
present.
These exercises are always interest
Ing and those today were Of a very
high order.
One Of the features Of the afternoon
came when Frank LANCER, president
Of the senior class, on behalf Of the
graduates, presented the class me-
mortal to the university In few we'll
chosen words. The memorial this year
Is a beautiful clock for the new COM
mons building. President McVey ac-
cepted the gift on behalf of the uni
versity and appropriately thanked the
senior class for their splendid me-
mortal.
The most amusing part of the pro-
gram was the class farce. The farce
offers to the graduating class chance
to even scores with the faculty and
the farce this year was masterful
take-off on number Of the profess
sors. It was written by Maxwell
Anderson, who took the part Of Pres
tdent McVey. All Of those taking part
acquitted themselves we'll and the pro-
duction was certainly laughable.
The scene was laid at President Nc
vey's summer home at Bemidji. The
time was twilight on day during
the summer vacation. The stage was
at half light, making it difficult to dis
tinguish characters. This added much
70 the appearance Of the performers.
4 President McVey was represented
as seeking rest from his labors among
the trees but the Prince of darkness
kept conjuring up various characters
to disturb his dreams. This method
of bringing in the various members
Of the cast was decidedly unique.
Maxwell Anderson as "Prexy" Nc
Vey carried off his part exceptionally
we'll. Tom Rightly took the part Of
the Prince Of Darkness, who is visit
ing the university for the sake Of
learning new kinds Of punishments
from the faculty. G. L. Robertson
carried off the part Of DR.. Libby in a
capable manner. Joe Martineau made
q hit as Prof. LIE Daum in his assign
ment Of long lessons. John Baldwin
took the part Of DR.. Boyle, the reci-
procity expert.
Fred Brockhoff carried of the part
Of DR.. Young In a very clever man

epoch. There is no need to comment
on such affairs as the junior prom
and the junior banquet to the seniors.
Each bespoke the social success of
1911-and one has only to mention
such names as Brockoff, Nelson,
Woods and Oftedahl to be assured of
same. But one must not forget to
mention such names as Slingsby,
Lewis aud Veitch when one thinks
of the final victory over 191O-and
the silver trophy cup honor.
However society and gymnastics
were not the only successes of the
year. Like all classes 1911 had a
good dabble with politics. All the
tricks of the trade were tested but
there was no house divided against
itself when the honor of Brown and
Gold was at stake, and consequently
1911 survived its political strife, ond
the old adage of "In union there is
strength has been fully realized.
IF 1911 were asked to advise the
future classes of U. N. D., it could
give no better suggestion than in the
phrase which really sums up it's
whole career: I'm union there was.
is and will be strength"
The Last Epoch.
During the last great epoch 1911
has and will realize some of it's own
greatness, but it has also realized
that there is much to be learned. We
know, good friends. that it has been
impossible to learn everything there
is to be learned. Yet the dear old
U. N. D. has taught us many things
We have learned that world-famed
greatness is not everything, that
worldly wealth cannot conquer ev-
erything. And we have found great
truths. We have found that there is
niche in this world for each and
everyone of us, that the way in which
we have so far fitted ourselves to
that niche is the way in which our
life will be determined. We found that
character, not wealth or fame is the
thing that counts. And character
friends, to quote one of many dear
professors, means life measured by
service not service for individual
gain, but service for the joy of all
humanity
This and many other truths our
dear professors and friends at U. N.
D. have taught us. We came-we
saw-we conquered. We learned
these truths. AS we leave you now,
it is our fondest wish that we may
go into life's battles with the in
domitable courage, and good will by
which we conquered all our foes. We
hope the future histories of 1911 will
even have to be greater than Herod-
titus or Thucydides of old--in order
to do justice to the annals of the
future. We hope that each member
of 1911 will have truly realized that
characters really worth while and
that in making it worth while he
has honored his Alma Mater"

FIRE AT PHILIP.

People on the street Monday morn
ing noticed smoke pouring out of the
cracks and other openings IN the sec
ond story OF the Linn building on Pine
street and turned in an alarm. The
fire laddies were quickly on the scene
with the chemical engines and bucket
brigade, and after a few minutes had
the blaze under control.
The fire started in the rear room on
second floor, from defective flue. 1t
had apparently been smouldering for
some time, for there was considerable
smoke and little fire when the volun-
teers arrived on the scene. Consider
able damage was done by water and
smoke, but the loss is fully covered
by insurance.
Frank M. Rood owns the building
and had 81, 200 insurance on it. But
little work will replace the building
in as good shape as it was. L. b.
Hartwick's stock of general merchan-
disc was carried into the street before
the workers realized that the fire
could be subdued, and some of his
stock was damaged in the moving.
The second floor was leased by J. NJ.
Linn and family, but they are visiting
in southern Indiana at present and
the place was locked up when the fire
started. Their household goods were
damaged to some extent, but insur-
ance in sufficient amodnt is carried
to Offset that loss.-Philip Review.

to his unfailing courtesy and cheer
full enthusiasm is due in no small de-
gree, the success of the Institute.
The business men of Kadoka and
the farmers themselves responded
generously to the need for funds and
Kadoka can indeed feel proud at the
unanimity that has prevailed through
out. An example has been set not
only to this section of the country but
to the country at large, west of the
river.
Directors were elected for the en-
suing year and preparations are al
ready under way to make the next
Institute bigger and better than ever.

MILWAUKEE
SHOWS ACTIVITY.

Chamberlain Democrat: Things
will be busy the coming summer in
construction work along the Milwau-
kee line between Chamberlain and
Rapid City. The track is to be raised
in the neighborhood of two feet the
entire distance, the filling to be of
gravel, and when finished railroad
men say the track will be in as good
order as the heaviest traffic will de-
mand. 1t will be big undertaking,
and will require number of construc-
tion crews all summer, and it is doubt
full if it can be done in one season.
This taken in connection with the
preparations for grading west from
Rapid City, the elaborate surveys and
soundings at Chamberlain for bridge
purposes last season, the bill for a
bridge franchise now before congress
leads one to believe that there is
something more than rumor in the
proposition to connect the Chamber
iainRapid City line with the Mobridge
coast line somewhere in Montana.
Rapid City Guide: There is little
doubt that the Milwaukee is planning
for a season OF activity the coming
summer and that many improvements
will be made which will be of great
benefit to this whole section in gen
eral and to Rapid City in particular,
In answer TO any inquiries last sea-
son as to when the Milwaukee was
going to build on north and west from
this city, we were informed by one in
close touch with affairs that when the
Milwaukee made move to put in a
substantial bridge at Chamberlain that
we could look for some railroad build
ing at this end of the line, and not be-
fore then. 1t is now reported that
the new bridge has been ordered in

views of our first informant, Milwau.

week for securing additional ground
in the east end of town for yard and
shop purposes.
There is not much question but that

commencement of work on a Milwau.

City, and possibly one to the west.
