College, Kansas, is Professor Gust
ave A. Peterson, A. NJ, Of the class
of 1902.
These have done their alma mater
special honor. More potent, tho not
SO CONSPICUOUS, is the quiet influence
yielded by graduates in humber
walks Of life. Ninety alumni are in
the gospel ministry, and larger num-
Der are engaged in the public schools
as superintendent and teachers.
Young people with ambitions for
higher education would do we'll to
consider seriously the ACCESSIBILITY
of following their high school or ac-
ademic education with a college
course in historic St. Peter. The ad-
vantage which the 'small college"
has over the universities or large
colleges in the realization Of a close
personal contact of the teacher, who
is there from love of the work, and
the student, who has come for hard,
serious work, is more and more APP
preciated.
This anniversary year ought to be
a banner year for the institution, and
we trust that Kandiyohi county will
be we'll represented. The possibility
of an electric car line between Will
mar and St. Peter gives an added in
terest on the part Of our young peo-
i pie in this, the nearest Of the colleges

fill the responsible place left vacant
by DR.. P. NJ. Mattson, who resigned
because. of failing health. This is
DR.. Uhler's thirtieth year at the insti-
