chapel last Wednesday and favored
the college people with a splendid ad-
dress. Mr.. Giffen spent some time in
telling the students of some of the
charges which the people generally
are in the habit of lodging against the
college man and woman. He also took
a decided stand against the license
which so many students seem to think
they have by virtue of their being a
student, in respect to the destruction
OF property which is so often the re-
suit of some college prank. He en-
phasized the fact that the student is
preparing for the best period of his
, life and that every dollar and minute
was OF supreme Importance to the in
| dividual both from the standpoint of
the acquisition of worldly goods and
character building. The main pur-
pose of Rev Citizens visit was to give
talk on Mohammadanism. Rev.
Giffen is specially fitted to talk on

knowledge about this great religion Of

was very interesting indeed. Showing
to what an alarming extent this reli-

able state it has reduced its adherents
