The Year The year 1909-10 has been a most successful and prosperous year for Ottawa Fniversity. lVith a. larger endowment, a victorious football team and winning orator, besides the numerous other victories and accomplish- ments, Ottawa students are proud to call Ottawa University their Alma Mater. Ottawa University at present has the largest productive endowment of any university or college in Kansas. In securing an additional i'B100,000 for the endowment, the total productive endowment has become approxi- mately S25l,OO0. In a resume of the football season, the Campus expresses the senti- ment of the Ottawa. students in the words, t'Ottawa feels sure that it was a winner. A team that can win such a large percentage of games-that can in the winning, inflict such :shut out' scores-that has been defeated but once, and has had its goal line crossed but once-such a team in the opinion of all, is a winning teamf' Although Ottawa did not win as large a percentage of games in basketball as in football, the basketball team has done some fast playing and won its share of victories. In spite of the fact that the team was made up of new material, ahnost entirely, its players averaged well and did some excellent team work. The boys knew the game and every one played his part. The features of more than one game were the goal throwing by Captain Harry George and Ottawa's team work. No better material could be picked for a baseball team than Ottawa has this season. and judging from the victory won from Missouri Valley, Ottawa has promise of a winning baseball team this year. IVith all of the enthusiasm and celebration that comprised the recep- tion Ottawa gave to her winning orator upon his return from IVichita, the college people could not and did not express their appreciation of that great victory. The winning in the State Oratorical Contest by Mr. Shields has meant and is to mean more to Ottawa University than any one is now able to anticipate. This is not Ottawa's only oratorical Vic- tory. Mr. Shields won first place in the State Prohibition Contest, which was supposed to have been the strongest prohibition Contest ever held in Kansas. There is great prospects for Ottawa and in the two interstate contests. Ottawa entered into but one inter-collegiate debate this year. This was with Park College. Park won, making their eighth consecutive victory. The debate was a close contest and very interesting. The Park E91
