AXHLEXICS. ' W INCE Monmouth College purchased the present athletic park athletics in the col- j s ? lege have heen flourishing. Every night during the fall and spring terms a large ,(t3)),, number of the students have been on the grounds in some kind of athletic prac- tice. In the fall they are training for the inter-collegiate contest; in the spring for the lvno. -. Monmouth field meet held in May aad the inter-society contest held during commencement week. The athletic park, situated east of town, is a perfect field for outdoor sports. The students are slowly improving the park and now have a fine peeled diamond, a flat g ' rid- iron, and a beautiful one-third mile i-aee track. With these improve;uents and a few more which we are sure of in the near futui-e. namely a gymnasium and a grand stand. Monmouth college may expect to have some fine athletics. No one will deny the goiA re- ceived from such training when under proper control and restrictions. And such is the case with our athletics, f jr we all know when such rales as have been laid down by the faculty were broken that the students were sure to hear from it afterwards.

We are. owing to various causes, few in number. However, we make up this deflcieney in enthusiasm. All who live in the northern part of town can very easily tell you our exact location. We have no specified yell, as some clubs do; we only • yell at everybody who chances to go by. We are centrally located, as to both colleg ' e and down town. V hile there are but few of us. vet we live in. presumably, as magnificent style as any other club; and this, too, on considerably less than S ' .l. r) per week. Our neighbors will miss us when we are g ' one. Hut. such is life.
