OF a public speaker. He said that the
lung power evidenced by the barbaric
college yell with which he was greeted
as he entered the chapel would indi-
cate that there were some coming
s~pellbinders among the young men. A
man who would convince must em-
phasize his subject, not himself. He
should know what he is talking about,
and must believe what he says: AS
a man thinketh in his heart, SO he is"
1t is clearly futile to speak to a mans
head, If his heart is against you. All
truth is self evident-and the best
service you can render truth is to state
it clearly. do not speak over the
heads of your hearers MI. Bryaa
spoke on education and pointed
u the need Of an ideal. Our ideal
should be to give rather than to get.
IF we are assured that when we go
we shall be missed, that the night
will be darker because a light has
gone out, we shall enjoy much greater
through wealth, social position
or great office. Mr.. Bryan exempli-
fled one Of the cardinal points of his
creed in that he spoke in a CONVERSE
tional tone without any seeming eff
fort-he had the rapt attention of his
auditors, and was greeted with very
enthusiastic applause rs he finished.
At q brief reception held in the COLI
lege parlors, the members of the
faculty had the pleasure of meeting
Mr.. Bryan. Through the courtesy OF
President Creegan, who was a member
of the committee on arrangements,
the gentlemen of the faculty were &C
corded the privilege of sitting on the
platform at the afternoon speech to
the ladies at the o~perahouse. Fargo
college also furnished ushers for the
afternoon and evening meetings, there
being twenty-five of the young men
al work in the evening. At the big
evening meeting, the Fargo College
orchestra, under the direction Of
Professor Stephens, furnished music.
AS Mr.. Bryan was being taken away
from the college by auto, he made the
remark that he thought Fargo college
had an unusually fine student body,
adding that he was especially i'm
pressed by the men. One Fargo col
lege man, Melvin Hildreth, a junior,
is making himself felt in democratic
circles not only throughout h state,
but outside the state as well. He is
chairman of the Fargo COMMITTEES on
democratic meetings, and had charge
of the ARRANGEMENTS for MI. Bryan's
day in Fargo; it vas largely through
him that the college had the oppor-
tunity of hearing Mr.. Bryan n
chapel. Friday, at a mass meeting,
a vote of thanks was given to MI.
HiIdreth by students and faculty. Mr..
Hildreth further has the distinction of
being organizer for North Dakota of
young mems democratic clubs.
President Creegan has recently
spent a few days in the east, but re-
turned in time to be here for the oc-
casion of the visit of Mr.. Bryan.
Another distinguished speaker Of the
past week was DR.. W~estbrooke, head
of the medical department of the Uni
versity of Minnesota. He made the
statement that 164 out OF the 342 med
ical colleges Of the world are in Ameri-
ca, and added that Jul medical work
is recognized abroad as being of a
very high standard. The present ten
dency is to reduce the number of in
situations and increase their efficiency.
The speaker outlined some of the prog
ress Of the last few eyars in med
icine, and prophesied greater discov-
cries in the future. Following this
talk DR.. Callander made a few re-
marks. DR.. Callander is instructor in
anatomy at Fargo college.
