BY AUSTIN

President G. w Austin of the Okla
homa College for Women delivered a
very able lecture yesterday morning
at the Baptist Church. His subject
was Fundamentals in Character
Building" While his remarks were
made largely to the young people pres
ent, yet there was much which would
apply as we'll to mature men and wo-
men.
He said there were over-tones in
every life that gave trend to the hab-
its and actions, but basic to all were
few fundamentals that must enter
into the makeup Of every successful
life. Among these he placed special
stress upon ambition as one of the
chief factors in helping the young to
make good. Linked to ambition he
spoke of the value of hard work in
developing all that is worth while in
the individual. He discouraged the
idea of the young person in school
pursuing course that called for little
effort. Many people go through col
leeg securing no development and find
themselves in after life unprepared
to cope with life's difficulties.
In conclusion he called attention to
the demands of the college and asked
for the cooperation and support of
the citizens of Chickasha, saying that
while this was a state institution il
meant much for this city. 1t is his
purpose to give the best efforts Of his
life to make the school a success, but
he could not do this alone.
There was large and appreciative
audience present and President Aus
tin was given marked attention during
his whole discourse. His address was
favorably commented upon BY many
who were present.
