A grievous plague of dogs at times threatened to seriously disturb the continuance of operations, but prompt actior. by our President averted the danger. The endowment fund is slowly but surely accumulating, Which, perhaps, is the most that can be said for it at this time. M Dramatic efforts, while not receiving any profound encouragement from headquarters, have nevertheless far enough eclipsed last yearis record. Damon and Pythiasf' The Minstrel Sliowfl Rebecca?s Triumphi' and 4'The Lady of Lyons were genuine successes-in some cases even finan- cially. The religious organiations of the college have accomplished a tremen- dous work during the year. The work has been so thoroughly systematized and so conscientiously done as to set a standard far in advance of any point heretofore attained. In the real Work of the school the high standard of the institution has as usual been rigidly maintained. Now the rest of the chronicles of the year that is past, are they not mentioned in the calendar of this Index? Verily! .

language of a local poet. Save the nightly rough house at the Roth and an occasional outburst of the self-styled college quartetft no rude and raucous clamors have disturbed the peaceful slumbers of dwellers o-n the Hill. Politically there has been no little activity. A secret vigilance commit- tee has cunningly prevented the dark machinations of the Greeks from accomplishing the ruin of the institution and the subverting of republican government in Wayne county. The elections in the Athletic Association and in the several classes were hotly contested and afforded all kinds and varieties of political experience to the future bosses of our land. A survey of the successful candidates shows that good men and women were selected all along the line. The time has evidently gone by when a student with little or no qualification for otlieelcan be elected. The different fraternities and sororities have all prospered during the year and in addition have gotten along unusually well together. It is to be regretted that a third sorority did not obtain a charter this year. In view of the increasing attendance it is to be hoped that 57-VY and 4'-IU Will be re- established in the near future. Wooster is a school so well and favorably known that a chapter of 4' If 11' should be one of the institutions of the school. The rapid advancement of the Preparatory Department, its unprece- dented attendance and the fine class about to graduate therefrom are mat- ters of profound satisfaction to every lover of the gold a.nd black. The Prep, usually mild but at times brash and obstreperous, is withal, a very necessary evil, but as has been shown, at tight rein and plenty of work reduce his troublesomeness to a minimum. 12
