B. C. G. Progress I he other day Father 1 ime in his swift flight could have been heard to say, “Some colleges have not learned to make as much use of the nine months I give them as old Blackstone College. I declare my forelock is almost sore, for the people there are always hanging on to it. It has been that way ever since last September when the college opened. “1 he first thing they did—why, the girls had scarcely had time to learn how to dress between breakfast bells—was to start a magazine, the first the school had ever had. I hey named it the ‘Blackstonian.’ I said to myself, ‘Miss Blackstonian, you will have to hurry if you keep up with Old Father Time.’ Fie stops for no one. But bless my soul! Miss Blackstonian is a good racer and is up with me every time I glance around. My! I hear compliments about her wherever I go. “And dear me, the Glee Club at Blackstone is an ‘on-time’ organization. They keep right up with me and make my old heart glad with singing. “Right along with the Glee Club I am reminded of the literary society the college has through its English Club. For a quarter of a century I have wondered why the college did not have one, but not until this year did anyone there catch me and organize one. A literary society is a fine thing for a school. It helps to tram people mentally. I enjoy such societies at other colleges and I rejoice to see one at Blackstone. “The people at Blackstone College do not neglect their physical training while in pursuit to literary knowledge. They reorganized their Athletic Association at the first of the session. Practically every student is a member. ( 75 )
