College team admitted that Ottawa presented one of the best debates Park had ever met. Debating classes have been successfully conducted under the depart- ment of English, which have proven to be a great function in developing debaters and by next year Ottawa expects to be represented with several well trained debating teams. . It would not be a fair nor complete summary of Ottawals achieve- ments and progress during the year, if only the athletic, oratorical and debate victories or achievements were mentioned. Every organization in the institution has prospered as well as the College itself. The social life is even of a better type. The class work in Ottawa has been exceptionally well done this year. WVith a more complete course of study and the best faculty in the state, the scholarship of Ottawa has increased one hundred per cent within the last two years. Every department of the institution is alive and growing. The course of study is no pharse. Although Ottawa. has not the buildings and equipment necessary to undertake to prescribe courses demanded of a University, strictly speaking, the courses necessary to class Ottawa as a first class college are given. The many hours spent by President Price and members of the facul- ty in study and working over matters pertaining to the interest of the institution, will not seem to have been in vain when the new catalogue is distributed. One of the most unique courses of study ever mapped out will be presented by Ottawa University. Ottawa will have as near the ideal course of study as is possible to be planned and the worth of it will be in that it will be given as it is represented. Ottawa University is a young institution. Although the institution has had many discouragements, no college has progressed faster than Ottawa has in forty years with similar support. The thing that has made Ottawa preferable to other institutions is its true Christian spirit and fellowship that lives in the student body. Ottawa students have the push spirit that makes Ottawa so repres-entative among other institutions. This was maintained in one phase during the 'tbooster weekl' in the city of Ottawa., when the 'student body formed a parade and joined with the spirit of 'cboostingl' which the Commercial Club had begun. May the Ottawa colors and yells be an inspiration to the city of Ottawa and the Baptists of the state to support Ottawa University and join in the college spirit as well. If the summer vacation shall be made a 'tsununer booster, even this short time would boost greatly toward obtaining that new Science hall and Gymnasium. The year has been a most pleasant experience for all of Ottawa students. May the year 1910-11 be as prosperous. The time is soon to be when those interested in the highest type of education will point to Ottawa University with pride. f10l
