WHAT EXPLAINS SUCCESS?

An idea seems to be spreading throughout the land that and achieve success through the opera ton of government rather than by their patient persistence in honest endeavOr.
 The readers of the NUGGET, especially young men and women should be msled in this respect They sh ou d realize that worthwhile in life is achieved almost exclusively through personal endeavor
 After all is said and done the vast majority of bus ness successes owe their growth to n divduals who give to the enterprise contribution that includes not only physical effort but superior intei gence and the wisdom that arises from the intangible thing that we call character.

LoUelI Literary
Society Was One
Of Early Groups

It's hard to believe now, but Greek
letter societies were once the rage
on Bluffton College campus. Bluffton
goods could be seen sporting the
Greek letter pins of two brother and
two sister societies on their sailor
collars and athletic sweaters. How
did all this come about at Bluffton
College? 1t all started when Central
Mennonite College was organized in
1900.
For the first few years a club
called The Lowell Literary Society
was the extra curricular activity on
the campus. College Avenue was
Blanchard Avenue, hardly more than
path.
Pioneer days were not far behind
and culture was considered a rare
pearl of great price. In order to be
considered worth mentioning on Cen
tral Mennonite campus, it was abso-
lutely necessary to join the literary
society and display ones ability as
an orator and debater or an accom-
plished musician, every Friday night.
In the words of an early College
Record, "the aim of the society was
high standard of literary excel
lence." This aim was not to be
taken lightly. "The exercises !.
consisted of essays, orations, debates,
recitations and vocal and instrument
tai music"
On very special occasions the public
was allowed to come and hear the
choicest selections. Such well known
citizens as Dan Triplehorn, M'Della
Moon, Mabel Fett Triplehorn and
C. A. Biery appeared before the
public eye on these programs.
Once year the learned Lowellians
forgot their various "literary excel
lences" for the moment and went
off to Schumacher's quarry, north
west of Bluffton, where, according
to the College Record "the day was
spent in fishing, boating, picnic, ETC."
The "etc." was undoubtedly the most
exciting part of the outings by all
reports.
By 1913 the membership was so
swelled that the original society was
divided into four brother and sister
societies with brand na,u Craak
-TheSa- societies carried on in
the old tradition, studying Chaucer
and Roberts Rules of Order and con-
Quoting debates on weighty matters.
Many of the most vital campus
organizations of Bluffton College to-
day grew out of interests which were
budding in those amazing literary
societies of yesterday.

viii have a gap in them until

Them on from the home base.
America is a glorious place,
in spite Of the many things
that we think are wrong, and
as long as we can feel that the
important unit is the family.
and home training is essential,
just that long will people feel
there is a basis on which to
build. Let us not change from
this in the midst Of all the con-
fusion.
Friday was good day for
the party which Mrs. l. Dol
phus Short gave at the Reho-
. both Country Club. The spa
eiousness of the club lent it
self very nicely to the large
group of guests WHO were serv-
ed luncheon on the porch, and
bridge followed. Mrs. Short
has had this large party for
the past three years and each
one is delightful; affords an
opportunity for those at the
shore and those in town to
meet, catching up on the things
that interest each group. And
they did, which is always an
indication of a good time, for
everyone just about talked at
once. Mrs. William G. Taylor,
Mrs. Shorts mother, helped
her to receive her guests. The
Shorts moved home after the
,arty was over, after spending
i'd times during the summer
t their cottage.
This past weekend was a

and that evening attended a
watermelon party at the Red
