Is a small college a disadvantage?
Daniel Webster anne from Dart
mouth, then a weak and struggling
school. In his famous speech in de-
Tense of his alma mater, addressed
to the supreme court, when it een-
ed that Dartmouth was to be dragged
into political conflicts and destroyed,
he showed his esteem in these impas-
stoned words:
"Sir, you may destroy this little in
stitution; it is weak, it is in/your

lights in the literary horizon OF u
country. You may put it out. But IL
you do so you must carry through
your work! You must %eXtinguish, one
after another, all those greater lights
of science which for more than a cen
fury have thrown their radiance over
Jour land. 1t is, sir, as l have said,
a small college. And yet there are
those who love it." And we students
at Jamestown can say Of our alma
mater, st isAa snalf college, but we
love it,"
Miss Wanner closed her remarks
with a presentation of a lovely col
lege pennant, the yellow and Black"

from the Jamestown College Girls"
John knauf, secretary Of the col
lege board, was called upon, and af-
ter student applause, stated that he
was too happy to speak, but would

Mr.. Knauf read an extract from
President Kroeze's letter, as follows:

good wishes are theirs. A Christian
governor means much in perpetuating
a stable government for our state.
extend to the students the sin
cerest regrets of Mrs. Kroeze and my
self at our inability to sit at their
festive board and break bread with
their honored guests.

and public, that the Science Hall is
