It is in this way that Lincoln is comparable to a great state fair. Baci: of every SIIOW, tiiere must ine careful planning and hard work. In tile very casuainess of such an exiiiiuition, tiiere is beauty-for casuainess is beauty carefully per- petuated in order that it seems natural. At Lincoln, the faculty is iiard-Working and persevering, and they seek no greater reward than for students to siiow an appreciative response by ioyaity to their aima mater. i Here students are ciiosen to supervise class activities and committees.
