Miss Doris Ballard Discussed The

New Chapel From The Student's Point Of View

Pres. L. B. Bowers of Kansas Wesleyan University delivered the

address at the McPherson College chapel dedication program Friday. Oct. 12, at 2: 30

The Salon Orchestra, led by Prof. Lewis Doll, played a musical pre-lude including "Hungarian Dance 6 and 7" by Brahms, Selections from Verdis "Il Trovatore" and "Girl of my Dreams. " Following the inva-tation of Rev. G. H. Cotton of the McPherson Prebyterian Church, Miss Ruth Harms played a cornet solo Nevin's "Rosary”.

HISTORY OF CHAPEL

Dr. H. J. Harnly reviewed the his-tory of the chapel since 1888 when the foundation of the present room was laid. At this time the entire school was housed in Fahnestock hall, chapel being held in the south-west room on the first floor. In 1839 the present chapel was temporarily enclosed and heated by two large stoves and in 1892 side doors opening into the rooms north and south of the chapel were con-structed.

Decreased enrollment and finan-

cial difficulties caused by the fi-

nancial panic of 1895 necessitated

the closing of the chapel. Two years

later, however, the second floor of Sharp's Hall was completed and a permanent roof put on the chapel: the entire building was completed in

1901. After the war, 1917 the enrollment again overflowed into the side rooms. In 1928 the new President gave the inspiration for a new chapel. Students, friends, and fac-ulty all contributed funds which re-sulted in the present improvements which include enlargement, refinish-ing and refurnishing.

THE NEW CHAPEL FROM

STUDENT'S POINT OF VIEW (From the Student's Point of View) Miss Doris Ballard, editor of the Spectator, believes that the new chapel will help the students in their serious moments, in developing a reverence for God; that it will furnish an impetus to forensics and fine arts. She says that the new room is a challenge to students to live worthy of the college, to lay a

tradition of MrPherson College as

the "school of quality. "

PRES. BOWERS SPEAKS ON

RELIGION IN EDUCATION In speaking of the relation of re-ligion to education, Pres. Bowers said that education is three-fold

knowing, interpreting, and master-ing our environment.

In "knowing” our environment we must teach the facts of religion: however, the intangible or spiritual realities are more important than those which can be discerned by the senses. In the ’"interpretive” pro-cess we must know God’s plan for the universe, or we cannot interpret any fact of it. Dr. Bowers says that In the mastery of, or adjustment to our environment, we must have an emotional determination which depends on a dynamic famished only by God.

In summing up he said, “Until

TO THE ALUMNI OF McPHERSON COLLEGE SCATTERED ABROAD; GREETINGS

The strength, the stability and

ican college depends In no small part on the interest, the success and the loyalty of its alumni. The college itself is more than build-ings and campus, of faculty and resident students. It has become an Alma Mater to many hundreds. It is a composite of his-tory, and traditions and ideals. There clusters around the college memories that people the place with the personalities of myriads who have trod its halls and left a spirit there.

The success of the college

OUTLOOK OF MUSIC DEPTS. PROMISING FOR THIS YEAR

Large Increase Over Last Year's En-rollment Hast Taken Place

The outlook of the music depart-ments for the coming year is very promising according to the heads of those departments. Increased en-rollment and warm enthusiasm are encouraged by the active Interest taken by outsiders.

A large increase over last year's enrollment has taken place, and the number of students in the music de-partments is much larger than usual. Miss Jessie Brown reports about seventy in the plane department. Professor Lewis G. Doll has approxi-mately fifty students, the voice de-partment with Mrs. Anna Tate at its head includes at least thirty-five students, and the public school mu-sic division under the direction of Miss Fern Lingenfelter has increased perceptibly.

"More than the usual amount of talent is shown in the students of the music department this year, "

Miss Brown said.

Student recitals are being planned for presentation in the near future Glee Clubs and a chorus have been organized and are making plans for a big year.

The students of the public school music department show a great deal of enthusiasm and interest in their work according to Miss Lingenfelter. Observation work in the public schools in the city will soon be be-

gun.

The chapel orchestra has Increased In size somewhat and now includes twenty-five pieces.

The work of the Salon orchestra is outstanding. The first of a full schedule of concert programs was given at Ramona last Friday even-ing. Plans are being made for the Salon orchestra to give concerts in correlation with the chorus and later perhaps with the community singles organization. It is interesting to note that wherever this orches-tra gave concerts last year it has been Invited to appear again this year. It has been invited to many other places also.

The Salon orchestra is unique In that it is the first senior orchestra in Kansas to federate with the Kan-sas Federation of Music Clubs.

It was invited to Las Vegas, New Mexico last year, but as It was impossible to make arrangements at the time it has accepted a month's

engagement to play there during August next summer at the Great Southern Musical Festival. It will play the accompaniment to an op-eretta-cantata composed by Cadmon and under his direction.

value of its present and all past degrees depreciates. If the college fails, the alumnus is without an Alma Mater, an orphan In the educational world. If the college grows and raises its standing in the educational world every alumnus shares in the rise of the value of the degree. The success and permanence of the college is of moment to every alumnus.

The success of every alumnus

is of significance to the college.

A college becomes known by the character and efficiency of its alumni. The college is vitally interested that those who go out carrying its seal shall be success-ful and that they possess character. Every college needs a

DEDICATION OF NEW Y. W. ROOM TUESDAY

A Long-Cherished Vision Of Y. W. C. A. Has Become A Realization.

ADDRESS BY MRS. SCHWALM

Dedicated To Worshipful Services and a Place for Social Recre

A long-cherished vision of Young People's Christian Association has at last been realized in the building of the new Y. W. C. A room under the new chapel.

After its completion the cabinet decided that nothing could be more fitting than to have Mrs. V. F.

Schwalm dedicate the room. Thus, Tuesday morning at this hour of the regular meeting the girls gathered in the room while a musical prelude was played. Something of

the sacredness or the purpose for its

being must have touched the girls

for an attitude of reverence prevad-

Miss Lois Dell, president, introduced Mrs. Schwalm who dedicated the place to worshipful services and to a place where social recreation

and wholesome good times may be

enjoyed. After the dedicatory address a

vote was taken for chorister. Those

were Miss Clara Davis and Miss Eugenia Dawson. The election resulted in a tie. The Y. W. bene-diction was reported and the services were closed.

The room was transformed into a

a cozy, restful settling by rugs, cushions, bouquets of flowers, cur-tains and matching candlesticks in addiiton to the old Y. W. furniture It is hoped by the cabinet that the meetings in the new room will be

meetings of true inspirational value where some, perhaps can take away a light, a gleam, a vision.

nished by The Organization.

The Young Women's Christian Association of McPherson College has proved to the school that It Is no passive, "slow" organization by the number of activities it has thus far sponsored.

The "Big Sister" movement at the beginning of the year helped the new girls to feel at home.

Among the first social events was

the Y. W. ten held in the dormitory

parlors. Here the girls all Itad an opportunity to get acquainted.

The annual watermelon feed given on the campus was made possible by both the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and a wholesome evening of games.

were provided.

The latest activity of the Y. W. was the Spanish Festival on the campus which transformed the campus into a Spanish court where a riot of gay colors mingled with confetti, noise and holiday spirits. This was voted a decided success by the Y. W. and plans are underway already for other affairs of this kind, one of which will be the Halloween party at the end of this month.

The new society room for the Y. W. has been furnished by the social service committee.

Every week a constructive pro-

NININGER GIVES AN ILLUSTRATED LECTURE

Lecture On The Natural His-tory Trek He Sponsored Last Year.

THIRTEEN STUDENTS ON TREK

Yellowstone Natl. Park. Great Salt

Lake Region, Grand Canyon wad Other Places Visited.

The new chapel was filled al-most to capacity by members of the student body, the faculty, and friends of the college on Friday ev-ening when Prof. H. H. Nininger gave an illustrated lecture on the

natural history trek which he super-vised last year.

Thirteen students, besides Prof. Nininger and his family, met at Palmer Lake, Colorado and on Aug-ust 22 they set out on a tour that was to take them into thirty-five states, twenty-nine colleges and uni-versities, and about thirty-four mu-

seums.

The first locality in which they spent any lengths of time was Yel-lowstone National Park. Prof. Nin-inger showed a great many slides and moving pictures of the ani-mals, the boiling mud geysers, hot springs, water falls, and landscapes which one sees in this park. The Great Salt Lake region of Utah was another place which afforded plenty of interesting and instructive work for the members of the school on wheels.

In central Arizona several days were spent in cutting out, footprints of some extinct lion-like animal which were found clearly in layers of solid limestone. Prof Nininger gave a vivid description of the won-

ders and beauties of the desert's sunset. He says that the desert has a marvelous beauty to those who love it for nowhere else is the sky so blue or do the stars glitter so

brightly.

Some time was spent in Southern California among the big trees and the Petrified Forests. The group happened to be near the place where

scenes for the photo-play "Ramona" were being filmed and Miss Del Rio and Mr. Baxter wore with the company warmed themselves at the campfire of the McPherson group.

In Georgia considerable time was spent in studying and exploring the

swamps. According to Prof, Ninin-ger this was one of the most differ-enl and dangerous tasks which the

group undertook. Because of rains they were forced to leave the swamp before they had accomplished all that had been planned.

The trek visited Washington, D. C. and spent some time in visiting the educational buildings and mu-suems of the city. No pictures were

shown by Prof. Nininger of this sec-

tion of the journey but he assured

the audience that three, had he had time to show them, would have been as interesting as the ones which he did show.

"M" CLUB MEETING

Thursday at ten o'clock the "M"

club not to transact a few items of

importance,

It was decided that an outstand-ing Bulldog Bulletin should be pub-lished for the later games with Ross Curtis as editor and Harold Fas-nacht as business manager.

The club was also In favor of having a pie supper in the near fu-

ture.

The sentiment of the members was decidedly against men on outside

the club wearing the official "M"

of the club.

"Son gone back to college? "

"Yes, thank goodness. The way he's walked off with my things all summer you would think he was my

room mate.

ENROLLMENT

True it is, that as far as personal acquaintance is concerned, the alum-ni of McPherson College and the pres-ent student generation are total strangers. Even among the many

classes of alumni there are innumer-able individuals who do not even know one another's name.

We could not expect such a situation, yet, are we all total strangers? There is a common bond among the alumni and students of McPherson College that might be developed In to a fruitful friendship were there

a common contact among the var-ious groups. We have all met the Same ideals and like experiences at

McPherson College. We are all in-debted to the same alma mater for a foundation for a life of happiness.

To boost a college, loyal alumni the studets must continually work for the same ends. Loyalty for an alma mater is maintained by acquaintance and sympathy with Its activites and purposes. The most immediate agency to keep alive that interest is the college paper which records weekly the activities and program of McPherson College. By keeping in touch with the college through the annals of this publica-

tion the bond among alumni and between alumni and students will be drawn closer. As a result there will grow a loyalty for old M. C. that will make people sit up and take no-tice. McPherson College will grow big.


Now that school is several weeks gone we know definitely just how

The senior list shows an enrollment of 57 with Elmer McGonigle as president. The junior class head-ed by Keith Hayes claims 64 mem-bers. The sophomores’ ranks include 63 students with Charles Colllis as their chief, and largest of all are the freshmen, claiming 123 with Ted Crist, president.    Besides

this 2 students are enrolled as spec-ial students.

The records allow 299 students have paid the incidental fee and be-sides this 37 are in the special col-lege who have not paid this fee. In the voice department are 34 stu-dents. Prof. G. Lewis Dill is in-structing 50 students. In the de-partments headed by Misses Lingen-felter and Brown there are nearly 80 enrollments.

COST OF CHAPEL

Dr. V. F. Schwalm, who presided over the program, said that al-though the improvements on the chapel, including dressing-rooms and Y.

Dr. J. J. Yoder offered the dedi-catory prayer which was followed by the group singing the college song -"O Sacred Truth.” The audience was dismissed by Rev. H. F. Richards.


BULLDOG ORATORS TO DEVELOP


Y. M. C. A.


The theme of the Young Men's Christian Association program last Tuesday was: "Ideal Social Relation-ship.” Marlin Hoover had charge of the program, Lawrence Turner discusses "What Has the Lady a Right to Expect of Man", "What Has the Man a Right to Expect of the Lady" was discussed by Harold Crist, and "What Has Society a Right to Expect of Us" by Glenn Harris.


Graduation and various activities have depleted the ranks of the McPherson orators, so it is necessary to develop new ones. There seems to be considerable ability in the first year class. Due to remoteness of the active season, it is uncertain how many will enter this activity. William McDonald of Waldo and Raymond Peterson of Portis will probably be strong contenders for honors.

Experienced orators back this year include Lloyd Diggs, Lawrence Leh-man, Ralph Frantz, Oliver Ikenber-ry and Ralph Landes.

On the whole. Bulldog forensic

prospects are distinctly bright.


HISTORY OF COLLEGE CHAPEL

When Dr. J. Harnly came to McPherson College In 1888 he came out from town in a street car drawn by one horse. The entire college, including class rooms, dormitories, chapel, commercial hall, dining room and kitchen, was housed in the large building now known as Fahnestock Hall which is used as a men's dormi-

By 1890 a temporary roof had been placed over the first story of the administration building. Including the chapel and two large stoves were used in heating the room for steam heat had been installed only in Fahnestock Hall. In 1892 the openings were made between the chapel and the two side rooms in order that a larger number of people might lie accomodated. The roof of the chapel was reconstructed and shingled in 1899 and four years later the second story was put on the hall and the building completed. The stoves were replaced by steam

pipes.

The yearn from 1894 to 1896 were

critical years in the growth of Mc-Pherson College, for during those years the enrollment of the college became so small that the chapel was abandoned and chapel services were held in the room on the south.

In 1915 the college became so large that it was necessary to re-verse the ends of the chapel so that the side rooms could be used to ac-commodate the students. The move-ment for reconstructing and en-larhing the chapel was begun in 1928 and the new room is the re-sult of tireless effort and generous material contributions

ments were in the Y.W.C.A. room and dressing rooms were out -fitted in the basement.


INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPT.

One of the courses in college that seems to have a great demand is the industrial arts department. The classes are always full in woodwork, turning and drawing. Every year the department is made better by adding to it In some way. During vacation two pew machines were furnished. A new hand saw and a new joiner have been installed in place of the two old machines.

The beginning classes started out on the preliminary steps of woodwork; the advanced classes are making the small radio ship.

'29 QUADRANGLE

McPherson College Quadrangle nineteen hundred twenty nine is beyond the stages of being a mere idea. The year book is planned from cover to cover, and much of the ma-terial is already completed. Editor Ebert Pucket and Marvin Steffen, business manager, have the staff chosen and work well underway. Those assisting in publishing this year's edition are Alberta Hovis, Seth Hiebert, Harriet Hopkins, Ralph, Bowers, Allen Morine, Kieth Hayes, Byron Sjoberg, Archie Blick-enstaff, and Francis Berkebile. Originality marks every feature in the book. The conventional ideas which have been carried through many memory books have been dis-carded. A view of the plans for the college annual will verify the statement of the editor that only the same Quadrangle has been retained,

The 1929 memory book in a new idea in its field, presenting its ma-terial by the media of refreshing

The book will be edited from the students' point of view, the pur-pose being to picture a cross-section of student life as it is being lived. The Annual is dedicated to the stu-dents of today.

In keeping with the modernistic theme the art work will be done in fresg pastel shades. Glen Golton an artist of recognised merit and Hershel Logan. Internationally fa-mous as a wood cut artist, are work-ing on the final drawings at the present time. Those who have viewed the sketches "have been pleased with their unique original".

A few of the features found in the Quad are color are work, du-tone campus views which give the effect of color, action athletic pictures class portraits of uniform size and background, snap shot diary of the school year, a who's who section, departmental pictures. $300 in wood cuts made especially for the Quad-rangle, and a humor section of un-usual character.

The 1923 Quad will be entered in the National Interscholastic Year

Book contest.

CHAPEL ECHOES


The first meeting in the new chap-

was conducted by Dr. J. W. Her-shey and he spoke on the subject of "Our Heritage.”

Dr. Hershey referred to the heritage which has been left by the work of such people as Thomas Edison. Madame Curie, Dr. Elliot of Harvard, Horace Mann, and Dr. Arnold.

During the summer Dr. Hershey

visited at the tombs of Abraham Lincoln and Gen. Robert E. Lee, and he said that crowds of people were standing quietly by with uncovered holds in tribute to these men.

•What is a man that thou art mindful of him?” was the question around which Dean R. E. Mohler centered his chapel talk on Wednesday.

The chemical value of a man is about ninety-eight cents. The whole difference between that value and his value to the world is in the top two inches of his body. The whole difference between man and other- animals is that he is a reasoning animal.

"Learning maketh a man fit com-pany for himself" is a motto to which Dean Mohler refered the students.

Francis Berkebelle sang two songs, "Gene" and "Four Ducks on a Pond."

Prof. J. G. Hoff consented at a late hour to lead chapel when it was learned the minister from town who had been engaged was unable to fulfill the appointment.

Prof. Hoff made some interesting comparisons; One hundred years

ago the average individual had seventy-two wants, sixteen of which were necessities; now the average person now has four-hundred-elghty-four wants of which ninety-four are necessities. One hundred years ago salesmen presented about two hundred articles bnt that number has grown to thirty-two thousand. The average home contains one hundred separate mechanisms.

"We are in danger of becoming last among the machinery of life," said Prof. Hoff. He also stated, “We worship Size, Bigness and Numbers in such a skyscraper sort of life."

Prof Hoff read two of his own poems In concluding his talk.

Dr. Schwalm gave a copy of Schevill’s "Political History of Modern Europe" and Dr, Kurts gave the October 1926, April 1926 and January 1927 copies of the magazine "Foreign Affairs" to the library. The library Is also receiving the New York Times.

For the school year 1925-1926 the number of books loaned wore 178 the first week and 192 the second week. For 1926-1927 the number of books loaned the first week, 91; the second week, 171. In 1927-1928 the first week 134; second week 219, and in 1928-1929, 120 and 262 respectively were loaned.

UNIVERSITY MAN

DRESSES SENSIBLY

The university man, acknowledged oracle In the world of men's wear, has returned to sanity in dress, according to surveys of three widely separated educational Institutions.

In the north, Yale University was selected as typical university In a university town," In the South. Vanderbilt was chosen, for the same reason. And for a middle ground, Princeton was selected.

In all of these, observers found that almost unanimously, the students had reverted from the "slouchy" college tendency of recent years, to a tidiness and care in dress that was surprising.

In all the colleges, the starched collar was found to be so nearly uni-versal that it appears to constitute almost a uniform. The comfortable low, pliant starched varieties were most in demand In both North and South.

Extreme outs of trousers, absurd shirt, collar an tie combinations and

other freakish effects have disappeared.

The college man, according to one student, realizes that he is a potential wage earner, and that he is Judged by his habits in clothes as well as In his other practices. He la not attractive to his colleagues, to the co-eds or to his future employer in silly-looking clothes.

That is why he has decided to wear reasonable clothes.

QUIT WORRYING

The hardest work that you can do is worrying about it.

Time goes mighty slow when you Are worrying about it.

You've thought of hard work piled ahead.

When to yourself you should have said,

"Quit worrying about it."

A task is often not so hard,

As in your thoughts you make it, Don’t be content to let it pass If you yourself can take it,

So enter in with all your might. And even though you lose the fight— Quite worrying about It.    —Ex

DEBATE PROSPECTS GOOD

It is far too early yet to predict a state championship for the Bulldogs. They have forgotten past achievements and are eagerly whetting Ihefr appetites for fresh victories. Coach Hess, with customary foresight, has been busy in the library gathering material on possible questions. He says that forensic pros-pects are better than at any time in the past eight years.

Of last year's varsity team, three are back this year: Keith Hayes, Philip Spohn, and Ralph Frantz. Of

three: Lloyd Diggs. Lawrence Lehman and Murlin Hoover. John Lehman, a former varsity man, has returned to fight for a place. John Harnly of the undefeated second team of 1925-16 is also a strong candidate.

Then, there is a wealth of new material. From Little River, thw home of debaters, come the Hayes brothers, Kermit and Guy. Other new men having experience include Lawrence Turner of Idaho, Ralph Turner of Hope, Milton Goering of McPherson, and Ralph Keedy of Fruita, Colorado, There are several others who will help to make a close contest at the tryout. Coach Hess says with sincerity that no old debater Is certain of his place on a team this year. Any student Is eli-gible for the varsity team.

The second team, which is open to all freshmen and sophomores, offers valuable training and experience for a varsity position later. It has scheduled a debate with Tabor College and will probably have several

Prospects for a winning girls' team are fully as bright. Three of last year's team are back. Ruth Anderson, Fern Galle, and Floy Brown, Mildred Libby of the 1926-'27 team is also back. Some promising freshman debaters are: Dorothy Turner of Hope, Hazel Ratliff of Rocky Ford. Colorado, Ethel Sherfy and Alberta Yoder of Morrill.


LANDSCAPING PROGRESSES

Those who have been in touch

with affairs on the McPherson Col-lege campus for the past year have watched the progress that has been

made in campus beautification,

The work gained headway a year ago with the generous gift of an alumnus, Mr. Deitrick, to be matched equally by the College. The services

of the Prairie Gardens Company of the city were secured in making

out plans, and the work proceeded.

The tennis courts west of the gymnasium were removed to a va-cant lot just off the campus and the ground was prepared for easy mowing and seeding. Considerable grading has been done on the cam-pus between Harnly Hall and the Alumni Gymnasium, and north of Sharp Hall, Drainage, and general appearance have been greatly im-proved. Cars are excluded from this area. Much work has been done

over the campus in general to facilitate the use of the power lawn

mower. number already this fall. A number of books have been contributed

About fifty dollars worth of ever-greens and perhaps two hundred shrubs were added to the campus decorations last spring. Another interesting feature is the Iris bed, which is eventually to contain all varieties of Iris which will grow in this action. About 250 varities are already planted, and about one hundred more are known in be available.

The beautification work is in the hands of a committee appointed by

the management. This committee will meet soon with the manage-

ment to make further successions.

Some of the former McPherson college students who majored in chemistry in the last eight years; Milo Stutzman. ‘20, received his PhD. from Ames, Iowa in 1927. At present he is an industrial chemist.

Roy Wampler, '20, is teaching chemistry at Manhattan, He has most of his work completed for his PhD), in the University of Chicago.

Leslie Blackman, '22 is professor of chemistry in the Northern University of Iowa. He received his M. A. from Manhattan in 1923.

DeWitt Sagar, '22, received his M A. in chemistry from Michigan State College, and is now teaching.

Milo Nice, '23, is an industrial chemist at Kenvil, N. J.

Ellis Watkin, '23, received his M. k. in chemistry from Manhattan In 1924. At present he is professor of

New Mexico.

John Harnly, '24, has an excellent position as an industrial chemist in Waukegan, Ill.

Harold Strickler, '25, continued his graduate work as a student as-

sistant in Michigan State College, re-ceiving his M. A. in 1927.

Paul Lentz, '26, is employed as an industrial chemist In ElDorado.

The outlook for the McPherson College Young Men's Christian As sociation perhaps the brightest that it has been for some years. The presence of "Dad" Elliot on the campus last spring gave a new impotus to the campus life, and strengthened

the position of the Association very considerably. The particularly fine support given by the cabinet men, and their spontaneous interest in the Ideals and objectives of the As-sociation give promise of an un-

usually fruitful year.

The Y. M. C. A only excuse for being is "the fuller life" for every college man. It counts worthy of

support anything whic will aid any man to express his finer qualities, and at the same time prepare him for a life of great usefulness after the days at M. C. are past. To this end it sponsors activities in the re-ligious, mental, and physical fields. In the physical and mental, this support is somewhat indirect, and comes in the Ideals of study and the school spirit which the faculty endeavor to hold forth, and which the students warmly second.

Somewhat definite plans are on

foot to provide more opportunities for social life in which the entire student body may participate. These seem to bring finer fellowing and cooperation and the breaking down of factions.


Even more vital in its influence on life as a whole is religion. This side perhaps the most misunderstood and neglected will receive the spec-ial attention of the Association Ef-forts are being made to arouse in-terest in true religion as Christ lived it In genuineness and simpli-city. not a form, but just the most supremely rich and satisfactory way of doing everyday tasks, that could be found. Outstanding national men on these student problems are brought to the campus each year, and within student life there are always results.

The Y. M. budget for this college year was presented to our men last Friday morning, and in spite of the fact that our number is slightly decreased, the two hundred twenty-five dollars was raised in a short time. The men are to be complimented upon their hearty support of this work, and the committee wishes to express their thanks for the manifested cooperation.

Hoping for a better tomorrow is no way of bettering today, but bettering today will make a better to

morrow. Students at Northwestern University have formed a "Hoover for President" club on the campus to stir voters. The club plans to spread Hoover propaganda throughout the campus by campaign “talks and political rallies. Efforts are being made to secure Senator Borah, Vice-President Dawes, Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormack, and other speak

ers of note in the party.

Forensic activities will begin in the University with a dual debate with the University of Australia here, according to Prof. E. C. Buch-ler, debate coach. "The time is not definite, as yet, but will probably be the first or second week in November, " he said.

Yoder.

A TRIBUTE TO THE OLD CHAPEL.

The “new" chapel Is completed, but there will be lasting memories of all that went on within the walls (three of which still stand) of the old chapel, many and varied as the

occasions were. Perhaps the change

has not been so great but to some of us who have sort of “grown up” with the chapel there will be a feel ing of strangeness to combat the

first few times we visit the new chapel. But before long the chapels, lectures, and concerts will give the new familiarity and charm, although nothing will ever replace the addi-

tional church services, literary society programs, and faculty recep-tions of other years.

If you have grown up here, the campus has been your playground. Barefooted you have run over its green grass playing run sheep run; or you have roller skated over its

walks in groups of ten or twelve,

arms about each others' waists. Per-haps yon have crept up forbidden stairways, along the wobbling, planks of of the dark, musty garret where olo-gists had left stuffed birds and bot-

tles of preserved snakes, up the rough ladder to the cupolo, and out

through the narrow door to the rod painted roof of the "Ad" building to dance about until called down from your lofty height by parental authority. You may have attended a wedding upstairs in the long room which has since been divided into language and rhetoric rooms;. a wedding where young men received sup-per partners by guessing the owner of a fair hand waved gently through

fell asleep on your daddy's lap after filling your small stomach with ice cream and cake. You have crawled through a small hole into the dis-

carded boiler of the old furnace house and have wondered how you would get out again, or—

But the chapel. Reared in the precepts of the Church of the Brethren yon attended church and Sunday school there and each Sunday the old building took on an air of rover-

unconsciously lowered your voice. At the communion service, the "love feast. " before you joined the church you were permitted to sit by mother's side and partake of the hot beef broth and bread; the long while tallies, the hymns and solemnity gave yon a feeling of goodness, save for a little resentment at those who came to look on—you could not be sure it was not from mere curiosity. Other times there was a sadness in

the long, simple room, when you went to a funeral, especially when it was that of a young person or a member of your own family. Then there was the baptistry beneath the pulpit where you saw many received

into the church. But the building of a beautiful new church changed all this.

the screws in the chairs gradually disappeared, plucked off by bored children whose only amusement was that or imitating the speaker. The many years saw chewing gum finding a resting place upon numer-

ous seats which proved diverting to young progeny who would pick it off and rechew it trying to see how much their small mouths would hold.

You may have seen the college Emersonians, and Ciceronians, begin, grow, flourish and recently die away, and have held your sides in laughter, have wept or been thor oughly frightened by the humor of readings, the tragedy of plays, or

lighted skulls. Growing up you

played yourself on the stages, now at one and now at the other, where you never knew how butl you were suddenly there before a of faces and after ages back by mama or some kind friend who assured you that you had been magnificent.

You came to college and it was

a daily instead of weekly visit that you made to the chapel, and ad-justed your curves to those of the worn seats.. Each fall you shook

hands with the faculty and students; you heard the fine arts de

partment perform, the president

speak, and you consumed punch and wafers. You were assigned a per-manent seat for chapel and demurely took your place each time, trying not to be tempted too much by the number or cuts allowed you, and moving each year to a place more be-sought until your fourth year you sat immediately beneath the eyes of your some twelve inch raised heiters. Here, having learned the art of behaviorism, you felt comfortable as you shielded the freshmen be-hind you who needed four years to feel calm beneath such close range nine hundred seconds of intense gaze. Each chapel period you faced amusement furnished by your su-perlorn or the necessity of amus-


ing yourself. You often thought of inventing machinery whereby the fixed facial expressions of the peda-gognes seated before you triweekly, thirty six weeks of the year, could be altered -say that of the one who drolly sits on the first row idly twirling his watch chain and his tongue.

In short, you-have laughter, sighed, and wept; you have played, sung, talked and whispered; you have been inspired, been bored within those walls. In the quiet dusk of a winter evening, lying on a seat, you have heard the beyboard of a piano respond to a touch; you have be-come familiar with and loved the pictures, though few, the leaky spots, the old and new clocks, and the steadily growing shabbier chairs. In truth you have grown up along with the room, and now it is not much changed, you tell yourself. May others grow up as happily and as fully in the old-new chapel, which is not, and yet which is different.

McPherson College and St. Mary's battled to a 6 to 6 tie In the confer-ence game here last Saturday. A wet ball caused the game to be a big ragged in the first half, but both teams tightened down In the last half.

The outstanding plays on the St. Mary's team were Ryan and Grave Branen of St. Mary's did not play a spectacular game but he did some

nice offensive fork at end position.

On the McPherson team quarter-back Wells packed the ball for some nice gains. Swain played a commendable game at half by breaking some of St. Mary's aerial football. Nonken wormed his way for some nice gains by his shifty runs in a scattered field, The Bulldog line seemed to have strengthened considerable in the past week.

The first quarter started with St. Mary's 30 yard kick. St. Mary's third down resulted In a 10 yard loss when Lengel, the big Bulldog tackle fell on the ball. St. Mary's failed to make their first downs but Peck, Wells and Nonken shoved the ball to the goal line. Wells went through the the line for the last two yards for a touch down. Bowers failed to kick the goal. Hawkins received the kick off. An exchange of punts followed by which the ball was worked into McPherson terri-tory. A 13 yard loss was felt by St. Mary's in a fumble, but it was made up In a neat pass of 21 yards to Ryan of St. Marys. Later is the quarter a 5. yard pass to McGingley and an 8 yard pass to Greve added to St. Mary's gains. Swain did a neat job of recovery when St. Marys fumbled which gave the Bulldogs a chance to punt out of the

danger zone again. St. Mary's failed to hold the ball for downs, and Mc-Pherson made no large gains before the half.


BULLDOG FOOTBALL

STRENGTH GROWING


According to Coach Gardner the strength of the lines and the con-sistency of the players has been greatly improved since the first game of the season.

The first game of the season with East Central State Normal was won by a score of 13 to 0 by East Central. The second game of the sea-son with Friends was a defeat for the Bulldogs of 7 to 12. The third game of the season with St. Marys was a tie 6 to 6 with McPherson showing the best field strength.

The next game will be a victory for the Bulldogs. Remember McPherson will beat St. Benedicts Octo-
