society partisanship to keep up a healthy rivalry. The home oratorical contest was of considerable interest in college circles, but only a few not directly connected with B. U. or G. NV. C. were present. Perhaps another year may see greater enthusiasm in college oratory and in the local contest. However, when attention is called to the amount of labor required on the part of the contestant and the mental strain under which he is placed, one can hardly blame the young ladies for not taking part. A Baldwin-VVallace combination in this matter might be advisable, as it seems to have been useful in athletics. There was about the usual-number of intercollegiate games during the foot-ball season and the Baldwin- Wallace team made a good record. B. U. has received no donations or bequests of much value within the year. Such gifts are absolutely essential to the continued growth and enlarged powers of the Institutiong for with prosperity come larger demands upon the resources, and success itself makes it all the more dillricult to keep expenses within the income. Life, growth and promise of a future-these -Baldwin University has, and it can therefore appeal to its friends and those who ought to be its friends for large gifts and strong endorsement. The college year of 1896-7 will soon be counted with the past. It has been a year of progress. The attendance has been equal to that of last year, and the social, musical, scholastic, moral and religious inlluences of B. U. without doubt have caused many to make solid advancement in those things that pertain to true culture and character. x g-.ff 2 I2

'An outbound bark is on the sea Swift speeding day by day, And wheresoe'er the harbor be It is not far away. Voyaging. H . A . F. That bark- It bears most precious store, Beyond all count of cost- A soul's belongings evermore ! Though faint and tempest-tossed Fear not, O soul ! be true and strongg Yon unsee11 shore is fair, All upper lights to thee belong- Faith's fixed star is there : It waits thee somewhere out of sight- That isle of sweet surprise Upon whose coastline of delight No chilling shadow lies. Steer straight, sail on, and though to-day Thick clouds thy way obscure. Yet shalt thou make the quiet bay Where anchorage is sureg T Where day shall have a golden west And toil a glad surcease. God's blessed years are full of rest, The Land ahead is peace. I4
