the support that must come from the
city. Mr.. Talbot dwelt upon the value
of the friendships formed in college
days, and their everlasting nature,
while Mr.. Aronson presented the duty
and obligation of the student to the
commonwealth.
Roy Boughton of the alumni told
the listeners of the prospects of the
Philippines where he has been engaged
in educational work, Rev. MIR. Evans
|sof Cooperstown told of his faith in
Fargo college and the wonderful les
son of democracy that it taught it's
students.
Rev. Mr.. Shute Of Bismarck, who re-
ceived the D. d. degree in the morn
ing, spoke Of the necessity OF the
christian college and its wonderful
opportunities.
1t was especially noticeable that the
keynote of the following speeches was
the respect and love and appreciation
of the students and speakers for the
faculty, who are the real martyrs to
the u of education. II was made
known that three -ofFthe faculty has

said the president. I'VE must run our
! school with North Dakota money.
Men must not judge us by the balance
ito our credit on the books, but by the
| type Of men that we turn out. We
have the students here, we lack the
means. If every one connected with
the college would do his part we could
someday see a Dartmouth on our hill.
Indeed we need men who will sacri-
fce. There is plenty of money in the
state. We should not criticize till we
do something to help. DO we want a
Christian college on the hill? I ask
the question. If we believe in the
word character, the greatest word in
the language, let us pull together, and
perpetrate the ideals for which we
have stood"
This appealing burst Of eloquence
iytook the listeners by storm, and a
peal OF applause followed. The
students arose and cheered Justify for
the man who has done SO much for
Them. and who had made such a plea
for maintenance Of their Alma Mater.
