TRINITY UNIVERSITY
ALUMNI.

Mccormick Seminary. Chicago.
H., March Is, 1s16.-The general
atmosphere of Trinity is inspiring.
instructive and uplifting. The stu
dents are cooperative, loyal and in
terested in each other. This college
Is not too large for each student to
know the other. hence a kind of
family feeling has grown up. There
IS such a close relation between pu-
pil and teacher that student feels
that If he fails he win disappoint
his professor. My personal contact
with the members of the faculty
was invaluable to me. Such intimate
fellowship is not possible in lar
ger college.
lt.is unnecessary to speak of the
wholesome. clean social and athlet-
ic life that exists in Trinity The
literary society work meant more
to me than any one course while
there. The societies are small
enough to give members an oppor-
tunity to appear upon the program
many times in a year.
| Since have taken up higher work
have found that my habits of stu
dy formed in Trinity and the prepa-
ration received there are Supremacy
| adequate for the more advanced
| work. A person that makes good"
at Trinity need not tremble when
| he enters another institution. And
| too, at Trinity there is a peculiar,
| compelling force that presses a stu
| dent to do his best. There is such
| an energetic, earnest working spirit
among the majority of the students
and faculty that if fellow has any
| pep at all he will succeed. | have
noticed that Trinity students have
| beeel unusually successful in compet-
ing with other schools along intel
lectual lines. The preparation and
developments received from the fac
ulty has many times shown itself
to be equal to that of any state in
stitution.
| But the most important thing in
| Trinity to me is the Christian in
fluenee to be found there. The fac
ulty and students are to a high de-
gree interested in the Kingdom of
| God The Christian organizations
are alive and fulfilling their pur-
pose. The large number of students
! that volunteer for Christian service
while there is indicative of Trinity
strong manly Christian spirit. 1t is
exceedingly important to have the
spiritual life developed along with
the mental and social. Trinity fur
| nishes such development. This in
/ stituticn has sent strong Christian
| leaders of reliability and integrity
| into all walks of life.

British Ship
Captured by
Lone Pirate

Lewes, Del, March 31.-The young
German who captured the British
steamer Matoppo and terrorized her
crew of Sc men on Wednesday night
shortly after the ship had sailed out
of New York harbor for Vladivostok
with railroad supplies for the Russian
government, declared today that he was
a spy for the German government.
Ernst Schiller. the prisoner, weary
from all the excitement he had under
gone sought sleep in the Lewes Jail
early today.
Yes, l am spy for the German
government" he said. You can be-
lieve it or MOTT makes no difference
to me. l got my instructions from
the German government to go aboard
the ship and blow her up to prevent
her cargo from reaching Russia. I
could have blown her up but the
captains plea for his wife and daugh-
ter was too much for me and
hadn't the heart to do it. l am ready
to take the consequences but I ask
that they keep me ashore instead of
sending me back to the ship for the
captain to take me in charge"
Schiller had been told that as his
do h1
three-mile limit, he would in all
likelihood be taken to British posses
sions in the West Indies for trial for
piracy. Federal authorities and rep
resentatives from the British govern
ment came here today to examine
Schiller and to decide what to do with
him.
An examination into Schiller's men
tai condition will be made.
Those who have talked with him
believe he is irresponsible and that his
story of his career Is not true.
Schiller was reluctant to tell his
history. II was born in Germany" he
said. Il was sent by the German gov
ernment to England soon after the
war started and at Germany's request
i enlisted in the British navy and was
assigned to the training ship Conway
at Liverpool. There are several thou
sand Germans in the British navy"
Captain Richard Bergner of the Ma
toppo, said he is convinced that Schil-
ler is former naval officer.
