Both residences were also open for
inspection.
Just before the basket ball game
the crowd gathered in the gymnasium
and listened to concert by the band
which was thoroughly enjoyed.
After the game the crowd again
visited the various buildings and not
until supper time did it dispense,
We take the following description
from the Albion Nugget of May "a.
The most pleasant feature of all
was the reception and the ball at the
gym, which was attended by many
people. After the formal reception,
a program consisting of music, and
speeches. Pres. Axline first intro
duced J. Y Haight. Mr.. Haight was
a member of the board of trustees
for six years and saw the campus
grow from five acres to thirty, and
has seen the buildings increase from
two to five He said he was proud
of the work done in the school and
believed that the people of the state
did not fully appreciate the great
work done here. He has always TAX
en- a deep interest in the school and
has given freeley of his time and his
money Mr. Lounsbury believed that
the worst days of the school were ov-
er and that the school will grow rap
idly.
Miss Grace NJ Shepard, state sup
erintendent, the next speaker spoke
of the value and necessity of Normal
training. She thought that teaching
was a serious profession because 1t
involves the training of minds of chill
dren. Albion she thought, was hap
PLY blessed because of the influence
of the Normal.
President Axline expressed himself
as pleased with the day and stated
that it would be an annual event. The
next thing he said was for all Albion
ties to assist in making the summer
school a success. He predicts great
things for the school on account of
the location. The opposition to the
Normal comes from towns which seek
to cripple the school so as to get 1t
removed. However, President Axlne
believes that such efforts will fail,
and in a few years, Albion will have
500 students. A dance followed the
program which was enjoyed by all.
The following musical lmnbers
were rendered during the exercises
of the evening:

After a program of twelve dances
the large crowd dispersed and the
first Annual visiting Day was thing
of the past. It's great success was
due to the untiring efforts of Prof.
Bocock and the other members of the
committee backed up by the enthus-
iastic cooperation of the faculty, stu
dent body, and last, but by no means
least, of the good people of Albion
who did all in their power to make
the day a success.
