NelUs From
Kendall College

Tulsa may well feel proud of her in
stitution, Kendall college, not alone on
account of its educational value, which
places our city in high rank among
other educational centers, but also be
cause Kendalfs attempts to lift large
share OF the worlds war burdens.
Sixty OF Kendalrs bright young men,
with the promise of success before
them, sacrificed everything to face
death in the trenches; and, II for no
other reason than for the sake of these
boys who are Offering their lives that
we may rest easier and better enjoy
the good things OF life here at home,
we Tulsans should take our hats off TO
Kendall college.
But these brave boys are not forgot
ten by the students of Kendall. The
Philo Debating club met this week and
voted to buy a Liberty bond as me-
mortal in their behalf. The students
have also pledged themselves to raise
$500 for the Y NJ. g. A. work In
France; and, in order to raise this
amount a play called The Revolving
Wedge is being pr pared by the stu
dents. Altho all parts IF the play have
not yet been assigned, Miss Ina
Walker is assured the leading role. The
girls OF the knitting cub are working
assiduously trying to do their bit for
the boys at the front, and no doubt
many agreeable surprises await these
boys this Christmas. The Red Cross
society of the college appointed Miss
Margaret Mosley as chairman. Miss
Mosley is capable young lady and
much is expected OF her

chapel exercises are held at Kendall
college to which all persons of Tulsa

very interesting discourse concerning
the brain. He said, in part: The lat
est finding of physiological research
reveals the fact that portion Of the
brain is especially adapted to receive
spiritual ideas, and this part of the
brain, recognizing God, brings all thots
into proper relationship 10 God. y
| He particularly urged the students TO
cultivate an idealistic outlook upon
life or in other words, to develop that
/ portion of the brain by holding a great
vision.
After chapel each Thursday the Y.
w. c. A. and the Y. NJ. c. A. hold spe-
cial half hour meetings. Each asso-

Last Thursday Mrs. N. w. McGinnis
spoke to the members of the Y. w. G..
A., bringing before them two principal
| ideas. First, that all women and girls
! of this country should sign the pledge
OF the patriotic league. This league
is universal organization based
mainly upon moral issues. Each mem
ber pledges herself to withhold from
the frivolous, foolish things of life, and
/ to stand by her sister regardless of her
nationality Second, Mrs McGinnis
earnestly pleaded with the young la
dies to do everything within their
power to assist the Y. w. c. A. in rails
ing sufficient funds to enable them TO
build a hostess house in each one of
the soldiers cantonments in this coun-
try. She explained the situation in
detail; how the mothers, wives, sisters
and sweethearts of the soldier boys
have to contend with all sorts of in
conveniences while visiting these boys
/ who are so dear to them.
