Toasts To him who was the first to welcome us to Normal, to him who ever greets us with a cheerful, encouraging smile, to him who advises with a kindness all his own, to him who is a friend with all a friend can mean, to him who is our teacher, our guide, our leader — in fine, to him whose every deed reflects the ideals of absolute justice and sincerity, to William Bishop Owen. Here ' s to the friends we ' ve made ! May they become nearer and dearer to us as the years go by, making our associations sweet memories. But may they always be friends. The true university of these days is a collection of books. — Carlyle. Here ' s to our library, a university in itself, and here ' s to our never-failing librarians, Miss Dickey and Miss Bates. Here ' s to our advisers. Miss Snow, Mrs. Dillon, and Mr. Smith ! thank them for their interest, their aid, and their kindness. Here ' s to the face which is always smiling, to a certain woman whom we have found to be always ready with a cheery word and ready advice! Here ' s to the dear memory we will always have for her, for our clerk, Gertrude Hawthorne! Here ' s to a lady both stately and sweet, The most clever lady you ever could meet. Endeared to our hearts by her kindness and tact, She helps us whenever with worries we ' re racked; I suppose you already know whom I mean. Here ' s to Elvira Cabell, our dean.

William Bishop Owen A man to amount to anything must be practical. He must actually do things, not talk about doing them, least of all cavil at how they are accom- plished by those who actually go down into the arena, and actually face th? dust and the blood and the sweat, who actually triumph in the struggle. The man must have the force, the power, the will to accomplish results, but he must have also the lift toward lofty things which shall make him incapable of striving for aught unless that for which he strives is something honorable and high — something well worth striving for. Such a man is William Bishop Owen, the Principal of the Chicago Normal College Mr. Owen was born at Union Station, Ohio, in 1866, later moving to Granville, where he attended Denison University and received his degree of Bachelor of Arts. Then after a year ' s teaching in the Mount Pleasant Academy, Pennsylvania, he came to Chicago. Here he entered the Baptist Theological Seminary at Morgan Park, where he became professor of Bibli- cal Greek, and received his degree of Bachelor of Divinity. Not much later he was appointed to a fellowship in Greek at the Uni- versity of Chicago, and in 1902 received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and became a Phi Beta Kappa member. Here also he acted as fellow, tutor, assistant, and associate professor for many years. He is also closely con- nected with the University in other ways, for he established a preparatory school for the University of Chicago and, too, he served in the capacity of dean at the University High School for some time. In 1909 Mr. Owen came to the Chicago Normal College, to act as prin- cipal. Here among the faculty and student body he won great respect and admiration. For he is calm and clear of face. And unperplexed he runs his race. Because his mind is always bent On Right, regardless of Event. Mildred Eckhardt.
