place i:i tl»e hearts of all connected with this school. For twenty-three years Dr. Bitner has faithfully and conscientiously unfolded to his pupils the great I aws of Nature as he interprets them from his diligent researches. An earnest, God-fearing man : we cannot express our admiration for him. Never shall he be forgotten by those with whom he has come in contact. We take this opportunity, as a Class, to bid him an affectionate farewell, and to wish him success in his future career. Members of the Kditing Board take this opportunity to acquaint the public with the fact that a full supply of guns and ammunition has been procured as a measure of self-protection in case of riot. We realize that our lives may be in jeopard} by publishing this book. Already a score of enraged Seniors and Middlers are after our scalps, and the Faculty is ready to execute us on the slightest provocation. Others less revengeful find consolation in considering the source.” Threats are much in evidence, but thus far no casualties in the Board have been reported. The prevailing opinion seems to be that members of the Kditing Board deserve lynching, and that hanging is too good for us. Though we are of a peace-loving disposition, this turbulent condition of society necessitates armed vigilance on our part if we wish to leave this institution alive.

It is grit and grip that conquer success, not alone the vigor with which one takes hold of his tasks, but also the determination with which he holds on after he has taken hold. There is no disgrace in falling if you have done your best, and if you are still facing toward your goal. Your failure will only be a disgrace if your back is toward your goal. Let this be the aim of each one of us. Life and the world has need of men, not deeds, for the latter cannot come without the former, and we cannot have the former unless we train our minds to concentrate. President Kliot once said to the Harvard students: “ You ought to obtain here the trained capacity for mental labor, rapid, intense and sustained. It is the main achievement of college life to win this mental force, this capacity for keen observation, just inference and sustained forethought, and everything that we mean by the reasoning power of man. That capacity will be the main source of intellectual joys and happiness and content throughout a long, busy life. The progressive Normal School must have a Normal School atmosphere, and it must instill into its students the high ideal of living for others. Much of its best work, therefore, will not be found in its course of study, but will be in its social environment, in its literary and musical organizations, in its Christian Associations and Temperance Unions, in its purely religious organizations, in all that makes a man or woman a fit model for the rapidly-developing youth of our country. — :'. (). Lyte. Do not go through life doing little things painfully, when you can do great things grandly and happily. This year marks the close of I)r. Bitner's career as a teacher of this school. Only after we are separated from our instructors do we realize what they have done for us and appreciate their efforts to aid us in our school life and prepare us for life-work. By Iu . true manliness, Dr. Bitner has won for himself a warm 11
