Norwood, "of which marriage may be
taken not as the only example but as
the supreme example. Love is not a
specifically Christian thing. 1t is not
an ecclesiastical thing. Far back into
the dim ages people have loved; they
have always known that the best
things in life came out of love.
Love between man and man, love
between neighbors and that supreme
Towering of the spirit of love which
finds its consummation at the mar
riage altar. When men look at that
mystery merely through the church
they do 1t disservice. To claim, as
one great section of the church does
claim. that marriage Is a Christian
sacrament is only to claim what is not
true. 1t was a sacrament long before
Christianity was established upon the
earth.
Third Mystery, Death,

Of Stanford University.

In the past few years Stanford Uni
versity has faced two important prob
lens, one the remodeling of the major
department system and the other the
limitation of students. From its open
ing day in 1891 Stanford offered a
large amount Of election on the part
of all students. but required the COM
pletion of a definite amount of work in
the chosen department so that the
A. B. degree when given would repre-
sent considerable degree of prof.
ciency in at least one line.
This method worked admirably when
the university was small. With the
growth of the institution and the pas
sage of time there was a constant
tendency to increase departmental re-
quirements and to build up rigid walls
between the departments so that stu
dents wishing to change their course
of studies had an increasing amount
of difficulty. The specialization re-
quired was thought by many to inter-
fere with the general development of
the student.
Lower Division Formed
Covering First Two Years
After careful study by faculty
committee a plan was adopted by the
Academic Council setting UP lower
division to include the first two years
of college work. Certain specific re-
quirements and group requirements
were demanded of all students in the
lower division. These are as follows:
L. ENGLISH. To be required for ad-
mission to the university: G) English
composition as at present; (2) the two
high school units of English prescribed
by the California State Board of Edu-
cation. To be taken during the second
year in the university; six units of
English composition.
2. FOREIGN LANGUAGES. To, be taken
either in the high school or in the uni
versity or in both together; % units
(three high school units) in one for
eign language or Is units (two high
school units) in each of two foreign
languages.

uct of the American artists.
The series Of special exhibitions or

is one of the most important of the
activities of the institution. Within

Glory of Church Is to See
Life in Christ's Way

THAT" emphasized DR.. Norwood. 'is
the glory of the church. and II seems
to me that to see life in a Christian
way implies a church bringing men
and women together in the highest OF
all fellowships. The institution should
not be the first thing; it is a thing
that grows naturally and beautifully
out of a true conception of life. How
sad it has been that out of our narrow
ecclesiasticism we have seen so many
good things fall off from the church;
great movements which have got their
inspiration from her but have not the
same fully rounded message. There
is no full message for life except the
message that is deeply religious; that
is bound up with God as we'll as man.
You cannot get the glory of birth if
what you call life is only that little
thing between the cradle and the
grave. You cannot get the glory of
love If what you call love consists only
of the fluctuations of the sentiment Of
attraction. You cannot see the glory
of death unless death TO you is the
entrance to a larger life.
"I want to see church associations
grow grander than they are. l want
to see them natural and spontaneous
We have gone to the other extreme
to-day. With most people the church
comes last. There Is no association
that is so loose and flimsy for most
people as their association with the
church. There are no bonds that are
SO easily set on one side; there is no I.
service which is so much a matter of
Indifference. The church Is last to-
day in the thought and life of a great
multitude Of people. even of those who
are distinctly Christian people. I want
to see that fellowship made richer and
fuller. want to see its power come
cut of life. I want to see men and
women facing life itself deciding
first of all that great question what
Trey think Of life. Is It holy
thing? Is it a sacred trust? is 1t
thing that is lit up with the
glory of the divine. that is bound up
with the will of the infinite? That is
the first question to settle, and when
it is settled surely our associations
with. people of like mind will become
richer and fuller.
THE church is a very modern
thing. 1t has been in the world for
only nineteen hundred years, and that
is not old compared with the age Of
the human race; it is but yesterday;
it is like the loan in which the plants
grow and flower. 1t may bring forth
many beautiful flowers. but in com
parison with the vast-depths beneath
it It is a very late thing and shall

these seven were the work of foreign
painters, sculptors and etchers. while
all of the balance were the product of
our native artists. In the organiza-
ton of these exhibitions the gallery
aims to hold to a high standard of ar
tistic excellence and at the same time
to afford to the artists of the country
the fullest possible opportunity for
showing their work.

Many Works of Art
Sold in Gallery
The institution has met with graft
flying success I'm the matter of selling
works of art from its various special
exhibitions. Since the biennial exhi-
billions were inaugurated about fifteen
years ago the gallery has distributed
altogether To the American painters
and sculptors more than $1,000, 900.
This service is rendered unselfshly;
IL is an "art for arts sake PROPOSE
tion. and no commission whatever has
ever been charged on any sales. 1t Is
believed that one of the most practical
and effective ways in which such an
institution can really promote the fine
arts Is to be instrumental in placing
worthy works Of art in worthy homes.
In performing this service the gallery
strives to serve equally both the artist
and the buyer
During the last five years the at
tendance of visitors TO the institution
has been from 175,000 to 200, 900 per-
sons annually. Based upon the popu-
lation Of the city--now about 450 000--

so that there is abundant room for ad-

come necessary. This is a matter of
vital importance for the growth and
development Of the institution, and. in
view of its steadily growing collec-
tions. the time is not now far distant
when the trustees must take under
serious consideration the question of
enlarging the present quarters. A
fairly accurate idea of the building can

purpose of encouraging American ge-

BULL MO0sE'S UNHAPPY FATE
Imprisoned in Ice, Wounded Animal Is
Supposed to Have Succunbed

Dead on his feet with all four legs
imprisoned in the ice that seals the
surface of Brandy brook, large bull
moose was found by st. John man
while he was hunting rabbits along the
Brandy brook about six miles from st.
John. When he first came upon him
the great animal was standing in such
a position as to cause the hunter to
believe that the moose was alive. On
investigation, however. he discovered
that the moose was dead. 1t is sup
posed that some time ago, while the
ice on the brook was still thin, the
moose had been shot at and wounded
but not badly enough TO prevent his
running. He probably attempted to
cross the brook and broke through the
ice, and because Of his injuries was
snable to eXtricate himself from this
position and subsequently perisAe1
standing up. Up to his belly the ami
MATS legs were encased in the ice. He
was found near deep part of the
brook called Soldier hole. in which 1t

How English EceIesiastic Obtained Ex-

The Vatican library includes large
number of bibliographical rarities.
Among them is the famous CodeX Fati-

as probably the oldest vellum manu-

Rtexts of the New.
In 1916 Doctor Treselles, armed with
a letter from Cardinal Wiseman,
visited Rome with the sole purpose Of
studying this manuscript. At last he
succeeded in obtaining the coveted per
mission, but two pr lates were assigned
to the duty of watching him and they
would not even allow him to open the
volume without searching his pockets
and taking away ali implements by
which he could copy the text.
They interfered with any prolonged
study, and often took the book hur-
riedly away from him. BY little craft
and patience, however, Doctor Tregel-
