Washington's birthday, and on Friday were presented entirety by students, while Prof. J. A. Blair gave a commemorative speech at the Wednesday assembly.

The Monday program was opened with the singing of “America the Beautiful", followed by a responsive devotional reading, Gretta Wilma Griffis told some interesting facts concerning the education of the first president. Although he had tutors, his father had a large part in the education of the boy, particularly giving him an appreciation of books. Along with his education he carried a great internal in outdoor sports, being especially fond of swimming and playing soldier. Miss Griffis said that Washington was a fine example of a self-made man.

"George Washington was a man of many friends," said Gilbert .Myers in the opening of the second talk. Among his closest friends were his relatives, the Fairfaxes, Dr. James Craik, his physician, Alexander Hamilton, the young officer in his army whom he later made United States Treasurer, "Light Horse Harry" Lee, the father of Robert E. Lee, and General Lafayette, his French com-

Mr. Perry Rohrer, psychologist, of Chicago, Illinois, will be on the cam-pus under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A, during the week of March 8. His coming to McPherson will be of particular inter-est because of his intensive study in his major field.

At the present time Mr. Rohrer is teaching part time in Bethany Biblical Seminary in Chicago. He is also on the staff of the Institute for Juvenile Research which is a state organization for the study of cause and cure for crime and delinquency among Juveniles. This is the only institute of its kind in the country. The work in the institute is in the nature of a research study for his doctor's degree at Northwestern university. He is also working with several life insurants companies, making psychological studies of salesmen and salesmanship.

Mr. Rohrer is a graduate of Man-chester college. Indiana, with the class of 1922. Following his graduation he was director of physical education for two yours at Manchester college. He received his master's degree in religious education from Northwestern university in 1927. He has also taken graduate study at the University of Chicago. Last summer Mr. Rohrer studied in Vienna, Austria, under the famous psychologist.

M. C. MUSICIANS GIVE A PLEASING CONCERT

Program Takes Place in Mc-Pherson Congregational Church

Although a comparatively small audience was present at the program given in the McPherson Congrega-tional Church this evening by the musical organizations of the college, many of those present expressed the opinion that it was the best perfor-mance of the M. C. musicians for

The concert began with several numbers by the orchestra, under the direction of Miss Margaret Shelley, and proceeded with groups of songs by the women's glue club, the men’s glue club, the college ladies' quartet, and the men's quartet. Miss Shelley presented two violin solos during the program, and Miss Della Lehman gave a humorous reading which was enjoyed by the audience. One of the most enjoyable features of the con-cert was the rendition of "The Lost Chord" and "Sunshine in Rainbow Valley" by the ladies' quartet, with a beautiful organ accompaniment by Miss Fern Lingenfelter.

Lindsborg, Feb. 26- The McPher-son college Bulldogs gave the cham-pion Swedes the scare of their lives here tonight in a great defensive bas-ketball game.    The Bulldogs, after

leading at one time by one point, were finally downed by the tall Swedes, the final score being 14 to 8.

Posey Jamison, jumping center on the Mcpherson team was getting the tip throughout most of the game, giving the Bulldogs an advantage in having possession of the ball. Mc-Pherson, after getting the ball from the opening tip-off, displayed a very

effective passing game, but was un-able to break through the Bethany zone defense. Five minutes of the game passed before the Swedes could get possession of the ball. After a few more minutes of fast work on the part of both teams the Swedes managed to slip in a basket and then held a slight lead during the entire first half. The half ended with the

At the start of the second half both teams again were playing very

MUSIC DEPARTMENT

TO GIVE A CANTATA

Tues., Mar. 1—The musical department began work this evening on a sacred cantata, "Ruth the Mabi-tess", by J. Astor Broad, to be given in the colleges chapel about April 1. The cantata is similar to "Esther", the production put on last year by the collage mixed chorus. It will be accompanied by suitable scenery and costumes. Members of the two glee clubs, the chorus of last year, and any others who wish to take part will participate in the cantata.

WILL YOU DO YOUR PART?

"Acquaintance With Washington Through Art" was the title of a talk by Constance Myers. She told of the many statues and portraits which have been made, and said that Gilbert Smart painted the portrait con-sidered the most accurate. The latter picture was displayed on the stage during the program.

Milton Goering spoke of the statesmanship of Washington. He especially emphasized Washington's devotion to cause, and the fact that be did not allow personal prejudices to enter into his appointments and his policies.

On Wednesday Professor Blair gave the reasons for his considering Washington to be a great man. The quality which he mentioned specifically was steadfastness of purpose and loyalty to his cause.

The Friday morning chapel program was again given entirely by students. Kermit Hayes told about

He has spent at least eight summers in camp work from coast to coast in both denominational and "Y" camps. He has written a book, "Recreation, Theory and Practice.” and is also editor of the Frontier Boy's Magazine. At the present time he is co-editor of some psychological tests to be used in his research study. These testa when published will be known as the Rohrer-Brown Psy-chological Tests

Students will, no doubt, avail themselves of the opportunity to have a conference with Mr. Rohrer who is very successful as a counselor. He will also appear in platform addresses during his stay on the campus.

NEED FOR GETTING ACQUAINTED

There are almost three hundred students in McPherson college. How many of them do you know?

Every person in this institution should be connected with the three hundred others connected with it. How many of the "roomers" do the dorm students know? How many of the dorm students do the town “kids” know? It might not be such a bad idea to get acquainted with some of these students and teachers that you see every day. How often we find our bad impressions fading with a little better acquaintance with one’s personality and character. Great men have said great things about friendship and it is of the most enriching elements of our lives. It is not a phase of life to be treated lightly, but to be pursued with some diligent, honest effort.

It is no remarkable thing to be able to make friends with people in your immediate circle, nor is that enough. Make friends with some students that you have a mere speaking acquaintance with: you may find some life long friendships among them.

It is that thing for which we work and spend the most time and effort that we appreciate the most heartily. To facilitate matters we are on the most friendly terms with those people that are with us most constantly in our work and play, but it often takes a deal of effort to establish ourselves in friendly relationship with those we see less often.—A. B.

than is done at present. The paper is designed to be a reflection of the actions, interests, and aims of the students of McPherson college, and it cannot truly perform this function if every word which is written for the paper comes from the small group composing the editorial and reportorial staff. They are all busy people, and are giving of their time and energy to put out the best paper possible because they enjoy the work. However it would both provide somewhat less work for members of the staff and produce a more representative student newspaper if others would contribute.

Many students have ideas about something: on the campus which needs correcting, or have something of a constructive nature in their minds, or feel that a word of encouragement or praise for some particular person or movement is in order. Why not use the editorial columns of the Spectator and air your views? Perhaps you would like to write something either long or short in the nature of a feature; the Spectator provides a channel through which you can express yourself.

Don’t depend entirely upon a more or less experienced editor and his staff to write and publish all that goes into the Spectator if you feel that you have something to offer. Articles may be left in the Spectator mail boxes in Sharp Hall and Arnold Hall, or handed to some member of the staff.

SENIORS PREPARING FOR THE 1932 COMMENCEMENT

HAPPY DAYS

When gloom o'ershadows all the land, and things are steeped in sorrow, we still go forth, a valiant band, and talk about tomorrow. Today is tough, we must confess, as on our paths we teeter, but if we do not miss our guess, tomorrow will be sweeter. Tomorrow all the clouds will drift, will flee away together; and then no doubt the winds will shift, and bring us better weather. Life surely would be full of grief, no comfort could we borrow. If we should lose our staunch belief in better luck tomorrow. But holding to that helpful creed we keep on striving, straining, although we’re tired and broken-kneed, with all our muscles paining. Our faith in better days to come is all that keeps us going, when everything is out of plumb, and evil winds are blowing. We would surrender to despair but for the deep conviction that soon the sun will clear the air and lessen our affliction. We quaff the bitter wormwood cup, and say, poor stricken critters, “Tomorrow will be right side up, and we'll have better bitters.’' Today our bonds are in default, and though life’s rather mirthless, we say, “To-morrow will exalt securities now worthless.” Today we view with famished eyes a larder empty, dreary; “Tomorrow there’ll be custard pies,'' we say. In accents cheery. Tomorrow we’ll have better duds, and handsome ties and collars, and cans of tripe and ample spuds, and six or seven dollars. And so in faith we look ahead, from out our zone of sorrow; there’ll be an end to fear and dread, when dawns the bright tomorrow—Walt Mason in the Hutchinson Herald.

Fri., Feb. 26—The senior class meeting this morning was in charge of the president, Gilbert Myers. The business transacted was in preparation for the 1932 Commencement activities. Measurements were taken for calls and gowns, and Kermit Hayes was appointed to have charge of taking orders for Commencement invitations.

A TRIBUTE FROM BRITAIN

If profound sagacity, unshaken steadiness of purpose, the subjugation of all passions which carry havoc through ordinary minds, and often times lay waste the fairest prospects of greatness—nay. the discipline of those feelings which are wont to lull or to seduce genius, and to mar and to cloud over the aspect of virtue itself—- joined with or rather ’leading to the most absolute self-denial, the most habitual and eclusive devotion! to principle—if these things can constitute a great character, without either quickness of apprehension, or inventive powers, or any brilliant quality that might dazzle the vulgar—then surely Washington was the greatest man that ever lived in this world uninspired by Divine wisdom and unsustained by supernatural virtue. -Lord Brougham. British jurist and statesman.    '

Two car loads of students are planning to motor to Wichita on Saturday morning, March 5, to attend the two day Christian World Education conference being sponsored by Wichita university and Friends university. They will return to the campus on Sunday.

Able economic thinkers will lead the conference. Their subjects will be “World Engineers In Session at Geneva” and "Some Economic Problems in a Changing World." Dean Mary Van Zile Of Kansas State College, Manhattan, will be the speaker at the Sunday morning session and will talk on “Womanhood and Ad-justment to a Changing World-"'Arthur Ragh, long a resident and Christian leader in China, will have as his topic “The Oped Door Policy and Asia’s Future."

The following are some of the reasons advanced by the committee as to why the curriculum reorganization has taken place: 1. It provides more fully for meeting student needs by the flexibility given in the selection

or division, rather than in a single department. 2. It prepares the way for Specialization work in a field rather than in a department. 3. It

broader survey courses for freshmen

within the three divisions, 5. It makes statements of objectives on a division basis possible. 6. It meets recommendations of advisory and standardizing agencies, such as the North Central Association.

The team has made a good show-ing in the first round of the league play and is now starting on the second round. John Kindy is manager of the team. The following have been playing with the group: J.

Washington as a farmer. He said that farming was Washinton's work while politics was his avocation. He was progressive and scientific, and interested in diversified farming. "Washington at Home" was the subject of a talk by Evelyn Fields. She described Mount Vernon, which she was privileged to visit several years ago. She also spoke of his loving care and attention to his step-chil-

C. S. Meingeraldt told about Wash-ington's religion. All his life the first president had a strong belief in God. As a boy he read devotional books, and later he insisted on church at-tendance for the men in his army. "Washington the Human Person" was Adelyn Taylor's subject. She said that his personality has often been distorted as a weak figure-head or else a demi-god. For most of his life Washington had to fight to central his wild temper. Miss Taylor concluded by saying that “history has never shown a better example of the indispensable man.”

Dr. D. W. Kurtz, who was presi-dent of McPherson college from 1913 to 1927, is again to head an educational institution. He has been called to the presidency of Bethany Biblical Seminary at Chicago, Illinois.

Pres. A. C. Wiand, who was formerly carrying a heavy load of teaching and administrative responsibilities, has for some time expressed a desire for a readjustment in the school so as to relieve him of some or his duties. Accordingly he was reelected president a year ago with the understanding that the board of trustees should look for a new president in the meantime.

After thoroughly canvassing the field and considering the needs of Bethany Biblical Seminary the board of trustees finally elected Dr. Kurtz by a unanimous vote to fill this position. He has accepted and tendered his resignation in the Church of the Brethren at Long Beach, California, where he has been pastor since 1927. His duties will begin July 1, 1932, in his new position.

TEA GIVEN FRIDAY AFTERNOON

Mrs. V. V. Schwalm and Miss Della Lehman were hosts to the local Y. W. C. A. cabinet at a tea, held from 4:00 to 5:30 o'clock Friday afternoon at the Schwalm residence. The program for the afternoon was in the nature of a spring party. Refreshments were served at quartet tables, and Betty Schwalm and Ruby Frantz assisted in the serving.

One objective of the school is to bring to the surface the natural endowments of each child.

McPherson displayed a very clever passing game, especially at the start, in the Swede-Bulldog game. After taking the ball from the opening tip-off the Binford men had control of the ball for five minutes before the Swedes could get possession of it.

The entire first half was featured by Bitch light defenses on the part of bath teams that only a very few shots could be taken. with the Swedes leading 7 to 4 at the start of the second half the Bulldogs play-ed a little harder and faster and soon took a one-point lead by means of two free throws and a field goal. At this point victory looked a little hopeful and even somewhat promising.

Mon., Feb. 29—Last Saturday afternoon the members of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet drove to Hutchinson where they were the guests of Esther Brown in her home near that city. The guests enjoyed the delightful man-ner in which they were entertained and the excellent meals which were served. The group returned to Mc-Pherson Sunday evening.

Those making the trip were Con-stance Rankin. Ada Brunk, Mary Weddle, Helen Holloway, Ethel Sherfy, Elizabeth Richards, Grace Heckman, Mattie Shay, Alberta Yoder, Miss Della Lehman, and Esther

TO SING IN "MESSIAH"

BLAIR LAUDS FIRST

PRESIDENT IN ADDRESS

Commends Washington's Unselfish Loyalty, Devotion to Duty

The Swedes however, were cool and confident, and came back at this point stronger than before and during the remaining part of the game scored three field goals and a free throw to put the game into the win column for them. Thus the Swedes are conference champions for the third consecutive year, and Ottawa is in the runner-up position for the second consecutive year.

McPherson has been the victim of several defeats by one and two points during the season’s play, and one of two points does not decide which is the batter team; at least we like to think that it does not. Also, we are inclined to think that holding the Swedes to an 8-14 score was some-thing of a surprise to many.

Eight McPherson college students are now attending the practices in preparation for the annual presenta-tion at Handel's "Messiah" by the Lindsborg Oratorio Society. The production, which has put Lindsborg on

the Society, is to be given on the af-ternoon of Palm Sunday, March 20, and the evening of Easter Sunday.

Practice periods are every Sunday afternoon and Tuesday evening, but up to this time the McPherson sing-ers have attended only the Sunday sessions. Those taking part are Gu-lah Hoover, Vera Flora, Lois Ed-wards, Rosalind Almen, Miss Clara Colline, Everett Fasnacht, Harvey Shank, and Blanch Harris.

M. C. STUDENTS SEE "CYRANO DE BERGERAC"

In nonconference competition during the past week the Kansas Con-ference won two games. Baker beat the Haskel Indians 32 to 29 and Wesleyan defeated Bethel 28 to 20.

Wed., Feb. 24- Music and an address

were the two main features

of this morning's chapel program.

Two vocal solos and an encore num-

ber were sang by Mr. Marvin White,

from the Monitor Church commun-

ity; and an address on the greatness

of Washington was delivered by Pro-

fessor J. A. Blair

The Greeks celebrated the death-days of their great men but the United Stales celebrates birthdays of her great men, was a statement made by Pror. Blair, after which he said that the real Washington has been so obscure that it has taken a century and a half to discover the real man. He compared the Washington monument to Washington's life and Washington as a man, being dignified, reserved, tall, and straight.

This question was asked. "Why is it we have such a universal admira-tion of this man?" In answeting this question Prof. Blair said that it was because of his unselfish loyalty to his great cause, his courage of ideals, and devotion of duty.

Besides being a successful leader of an inexperienced army, and then becoming an important statesman and helping to establish a workable and successful government. Wash-ington was a true christian man. He made life meaningful and sought guidance from a higher power.

Prof. Blair stated that if America

The Bulldogs play the Bethel bas-keteers Friday night in a nonconfe-ence game at Newton. Bethel has played some real ball this season and has also had its "off" nights. Bethel has a victory over the Bethany Swedes to its credit. Bethel-McPher-son game in the past have always been good games, and this ought to be another.

Several students and teachers motored to Wichita last Tuesday night to see the presentation of the famous play "Cyrano de Bergerac", given by s cast of seventy-five players headed by Walter Hampden in the role of Cyrano. The play took place in the Wichita Forum. Those from the college who attended were Miss Della Lehman, Miss Edith McGaffey, Ethel Sherfy, Constance Rankin, Evelyn Saylor, Hope Nickel, Attilia Anderson, Letteer Lewis, and John Austin.
