Voluntarily Lays Down The

der The Presidency.

Promptly as the clock in the town
above the Fire department tolled the
solemn hour of midnight, the cold
Guard" of the ancient order of twenty
years ago known as ''The Baldheaded
Club" were seen emerging from
many houses and vending their way
towards the assembly room in the
pavilion at Virginia Park, which had
been designated as the place for the
meeting for reorganization. Quietly
the word had been passed along that
the old organization was to be revived
and placed upon a permanent and
enduring basis.
Ten long years had rolled around
since Col. Green H. Champlin,
angered by the audacity of Col. Bob
Woodbridge in daring to announce
himself a candidate for President, had
trapped upon the marble stand and
declared 81 adjourn, disband, pro-
rogue and dispense this club forever,
or until such time as it can meet
without my being annoyed by such
contests as this. | am President of
this club and in the words of Wade
Hampton, BY the Eternal Gods, I'll
be President as long as live or I'M
til get tired of the job"
Not since then had meeting been
held. Ten new calendars one by one
have been hung upon the wall. The
seasons have come and gone. Ten
times the fruitful soil of Gods Coun-
try has yielded its bountiful crops.
Night riders have had their day, base
] ball has fourished and passed away.
Hopkinsville has grown and pros
pered, floods have risen and subsidized,
new generation of children have
filled the grammar grades in the
public schools. Strange things have
happened. Banquet speakers have
even found new joke or two as the
wheels of time have revolved. Even
the landmarks have disappeared and
the beautiful Park toward which all
wendell their way marks the site of
one of them. One by ca the "Old
Guard" entered and too. heir seats.
AS they removed their hats a glance
was enough to show thar every man
had been true to his lIlth. Not an
additional hair married the polished
dome of any member there. With a
contempt for hair restorers, dandruff
cures, wigs and tupees, every moth
er's son of them had stood by his
colors and was even balder than of
yore.
Col. Champlin called the meeting
to order, but there was meekness in
his manner. Ten years had softened
the words he once had uttered.
Time had dulled the sharpness of his
tongue. Taking from the lapel of his
coat an American Beauty rose, whose
eleven mates had been sent south on
the $50 train, he used its glowing
petals for the hammer he once
welded as gavel, and softly tapped
for order.

of preparing efficient business
men to develop our ever expand
ing interests.
There are too many present day
conservative colleges that are
content with the professions of
law, medicine and theology. Some
have added schools in agriculture,
engineering and architecture but
so far few have recognized COM
merce as a profession.
Are we asking too much of our
own college when we ask for
something more than general
culture?' This is primarily what
the Arts & Science student re-
ceives. He can conduct himself
most properly in society and beat
the eyes out of himself in his con-
duct of business affair. The time
has gone by when it is sufficient
to train boys for business as they
were formerly trained for arti-
sans. Business is one of the most
difficult and exacting of all pro-
| fessions.
Not discounting the invaluable
contributions that Delaware Col
lege has made to the active intel
ligent forces of this state and
elsewhere, think what larger
sphere of usefulness would be hers
to send out trained men to become
captains of industry. Opportuni-
ties for such service abounds on
every side. Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Wilmington so near at
hand have room for an army of
competent business men.
Our college is not being urgeo
to the end in question from with
out but by the awakening minds
of those within it's walls. We lost
one student this term and have FL
egant prospects of losing other:
due to a cause which can be rene

that our loyal and progressive

college remarked in the course of
his inaugural address that in the

per cent of the Dartmouth gradu-
ates went into business and in
dustry, and that figure has in
creased until for 1909 to 1913 it
runs above 60 per cent.
In closing this plea it seems
we'll to call the attention Of the
trustees to the above figures that
they may know the trend of the
life work of college graduates.
Equipped with this knowledge,
under the stress of a responsible

A Broad Hint

"There should be no failure on
the part of our educators to appre-
ciate the increasing demands that
are, by the changing character OF
commercial affairs, being laid
unon the abilities of business men.
Those changes demand a greatly
superior training. Cannot all
unite in helping to evolve a col
lege course which will be worthy
of UNFOLDING degree of Mast
of Commerce.?
