~1UNIVERSITT NOTES,


II commencement exercises We're
concluded Wednesday noon and most
OF the students have left for their
homes or for the scenes OF their sum
mer employ ments. \. few are still in
habiting Graham Hall in readiness to
commence work at the summer
school, while many viii return with
in the next few days for this urpos
Next Monday is enrolment day for
the summer session and the classes
will assemble the following day. Pre-
sident Seaman will deliver the open
ing address in the morning at 10 o.
clock. July Is is the date for the
closing of the summer school.
Nearly all of the visitors at the
university during the last few days
have remarked upon the beauty of
the campus. The trees and grounds
of the institution have never appear
ed more attractive than at the pre-
sent time and this appearance is
rendered the more noticeable be
cause of the care which is taken of
the buildings and the surrounding
grounds.
Several of the teachers in the uni
versity this year will not return
next fall. Among this number are the
Professors Harris. Dalgcty, Peter
son and Miss Gertrude Chappell. DR..
Harris has accepted Il professorship
al Carleton college and Prof. Dial
getty will go to Northwestern univer-
sity to assume a position on the fac
ulty of that institution.
The last meeting OF the university
debating league was held May ~, in
Main hall. 1t was voted at that time
that the selection of the i~ntercolleg-
late debaters for Dakota Wesleyan
should rest in the hands of the three
faculty members of the league. Ilith-
erto this power has been held by the
entire membership of the %organiza-
ton which has caused considerable
friction and i'll feeling at times. The
basis for Judging the inter-society
debates was also changed so as 10
place more emphasis upon delivery
of the debaters than has been in the
past. This change Will harmonic
with the demands of the i~ntercolleg-
late debating contracts. I've election
of officers for next year placed Mr..
Chester Ruth as president of the
league, Miss Helen Powers as vice
president, Mr.. Clarence Gayman as
secretary and Miss Ida Bingcr as
treasurer.
AS an advertisement for Dakota
Wesleyan this summer a quartet
composed of members OF the univer-
sity glee club Will tour he state Civ
ing concerts in a large number OF
towns. The tom will last for sin
( weeks and viii begin mex week. 1t
was thought that this method OF
advertising would prove even more
< effective than that which has been
used in past seasons sending out
representative students to present
the claims OF the institution for new
students.
The last meeting OF the Latin clnt
was held during the last week OF
May, in DIR. Hicks class room. The
/ new ~stereopticon slides belonging to

f and new officers were elected fol-
next year Ruth Niebuhr was chos-
+ en- president OF the club, Miss Rach-
t ael Carlisle, vice-president, and Mr.
| Gardner Watkins, secretary. Mucf
pleasure has beer derived by tho
$ members of the organization during
l the meetings of the year and it is
: expected that even a stronger clut
will be in existence next fall.
