SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR
THE HILLSDALE COLLEGE

Hillsdale college had an exception
ally successful year, considering the
disturbing influences of the war on
all colleges and universities. The
long and cold winter required coal
far beyond the estimate Of the bud
get and at soaring prices. The cost
of labor and supplies much exceeded
expectations. The going of men to
war made inroads on student fees,
but the college authorities from the
declaration of war were doubly watch
full, and both boards paid all bills for
the year and some were carried over;
and each board had a small surplus.
The additions to the permanent en-
dowment exceeded that which has
been realized from the efforts of any
other single year since the college
began.
This college, young in 1861, gave
about two hundred of its active stu
dents to the army of the civil war.
In the present world war it's men and
women are entering the service in
about the same proportion. Their loss
has partially been made up from an
increase in the registration of women.
The net loss being considerably be-
low the average for American collie
ges.
Salaries were advanced to meet in
part the higher cost of living, and
additional courses, teachers and equip
ment for next year were provided in
such subjects as food conservation,
domestic science, chemistry short
hand and business, which bear upon
the winning of the war. A larger
budget was adopted and the added
sum was made up by. cash and pied
ges before the trustees adjourned.
A report that President ]. w. Mauck
would retire from the presidency is
corrected by Hillsdale paper which
says that he is ain the work with no
time of retirement in his mind, and
with powers recuperated by his win
ter and spring leave of absence and
now to their limit at the service of
the college and country"

The Heart Is Very Busy.

Your heart Is very busy organ.
While you breathe once, It beats four
times, says Popular Science Monthly.
At each beat 1t sends four pounds Of
blood through your veins and arteries.
The weight Of the circulating blood is
20 pounds. When you run, your legs
and the other parts of your body
need more blood, so your heart must
pump faster.

every horror Of noise and sight; the
black night, the glare of flame, the
roar of explosion, the icy clutch of wa

depths was unconsciousness. I awoke
with Vera's eyes smiling into mine, her
face bent above me, the golden sun
light Of a new dawn resting on her
hair. I could but stare up at her, un-
able to comprehend, half believing 1t
all vision to as quickly dissolve into
mist. Yet I was rational, my brain
swiftly clearing to the truth. The hand
which held mine was of flesh and
blood; those were no dream eyes smil-
ing their welcome, and was lying in
boat, bobbing up and down to the
surface of the sea. Words came to my
lips, a whispered question:
"You-you picked me up? we are
still at sea?"

"Oh, yes am; see, I will lean against

My eyes left her face to survey the
others, and the cockleshell in which we
floated. The little boat bore up brave

Olson were both bailing, and my eyes
took note of several charred spots
along the gunwale showing the touch
Of fire. LeayOrd was at the tiller, and
seemed to comprehend all that I was
most eager to learn.
