dent Vincent of the University of Min
nesota, Friday morning. He was
heartily cheered as he entered the
chapel and he carried his audience
with him throughout his address. He
took as his subject A Life Philosophy.
He saad that there were few people
who really had a working philosophy
OF life; that the majority of people do
things without having any very clear
ly defined eason for doing them. The
students mind is often in a very
chaotic state. He learns a confused
tumble of things, and only gradually
do things clarity in his mind into a
.~sernblance Of order. Life may be lik-
aened to many things. 1t is likened to
"a highway, where everyone goes his
own way. some buoyantly and some
dejectedly. But this is an individual
istic way Of booking at life. It has
been likened 10 a YEA, where every
paddles his canoe This simile has it's
good points, but we must bring it up
to date, and include in it ocean liners,
where men cooperate for a common
end. Tor life is becoming cooperative.
Again life may be hkened to a stage.
where many of the parts are insists.
Life may be likened to a game. On
this smile DR.. Vincent dwelt at length
and was at his happiest. He drew a
distinction between the sport and the
sportsman IN athletics, and then drew
the am parallel in the game of life.
The sport is always telling what he
is Soing to do, gloats over his fallen
foe, and does not know how to take
defeat Not SO the sportsman. The
speaker made a strong and effective
plea for clean athletics, and gave
some excellent examples Of true
sportsnanship in college life. notable
that OF the Illinois university coach
who refused to accept a touchdown
awarded by the officials because he
knew it was won on a technicality.
The address was n long to be re-
membered A number of people,
anon them several alumni of the
University Of Minnesota awaited them

DR.. Graham Taylor writes the fol- |
of one of the members of the
first graduates Of Fargo college, a
member of the class of 1896.
Throughout his entire course in
Chicago Theological seminary, James
Mullenbach did full credit to his alma
mater, winning at the end the ap-
of the faculty to the fellow
for study abroad which was
heartily endorsed by all his fellow stu

in the German universities, he became
pastor of the Tabernacle church and
was associated with me in the settle
ment work at Chicago Commons.
When the newly established munich
pal lodging house was in the peril of
making the transition from the leader !
ship of its founder, Raymond Robbins.
James Mullenbach was considered by
the friends of homeless men to be the
one man to head up that difficult work
for the city of Chicago. He easily
stood first among the competitors for
the position in the civil service exam
ination, and continued the work so
successfully for several years that it
has become a model for municipal
help for homeless men. So success
full was he in this position under the
police and health departments of the
city, that he vas sought as assistant
superintendent of the United Chart
ties of Chicago, and now has charge
Of the work OF that second greatest
American organization of its kind. Mr..
Mullenbach is a prominent leader in
the Social Service club, a lecturer in
the Chicago Schools of Civics n
philanthropy and is recognized as an
authority on and exponent Of progress
siye social movements. .

stiles. He told of conditions in Eng
lisn universities, and spoke OF the Alb
stinenten societies in German univer-
sites.
Last Sunday Mr.. Vowles addressed
the mems seminar of the Congrega-
tional church of Moorhead on Some
Personal Observations in Russia.
Tuesday evening he spoke to the
Standard Bearers of the First Metho-
dist church of Fargo at the home of
Mrs. Taylor o Eighth street south on
Conditions in Catholic Countries in
Europe, treating principally of France,
Germany and Russia.
In a recent chapel address DR..
StFatton discussed the much mooted
question as to whether n Of the
planets of our solar system are inhab-
tied. Surely none are with the possi-
bic exception Of Mars, and it is prob
able that 1t is not. The average tenn
p~erature there is 33 degrees below
zero, while that OF the earth is so de-
e above. The so-calied canals. are
probably not the work Of human be-
ings. some Of the planets may have
been or may at some future time be
inhabited.
