I -A I ,wg - 'W 1 4 THE TRIP TO SIMPSON What memories those little words call up in the minds of some! 'Twas on a fine eve in February that the special train, bearing over two hundred rooters and a band of over twenty pieces left the Rock Island station. The trip down was comparatively uneventful f-and the arrival was made just in time for all to get in in time to see the first tip-up. To recount the game would be a mere repetition as a full account of that is given else- where in this edition. However, were that not so it would be unnecessary to tell the score, for the old Tiger surely laughed loud enough that night for all to know that he had won a victory and a real victory it was indeed. By some unseemly chance it had been arranged by the committee on transportation that the train back to the city should not leave till eleven o'clock. This had been done in order that none of those who might go to various parts of the ctiy would be left behind, as had been the case in years before. During the interim, though it seems folly to relate this, a dance was held in the ole taown hall, which was, it has since developed, decidedly against the rules of the University. Exactly at eleven o'clock the train started back and the best of time was made and all arrived back at home feeling that the trip was a great success and that it should be repeated each year, especially if the results in regard to the score would be so favorable. , But the results of a game and of an evening's entertainment following can be extended over more space of time than that taken up by a train in traversing the distance between Indianola and Des Moines, and this has been demonstrated in a most convincing manner to many of the students of this University. Ten days later, at the .end of the winter quarter, announcement was quietly made in chapel by the Chancellor of the University that all those who had participated in the dance after the game were automatically sus- pended from school until they should make written apology to the faculty and to the school as a whole. A bomb-shell thrown through one of the open windows on that bright and shining morning could not have caused more commotion than was caused by this announcement. Backing their statement with a venom, evidently gathered from long months of feeling, those involved swore by all the high and ancient Gods that they would rather face the hottest of fires and wade the deepest of oceans than to sign such a degrading, nonplussing statement as was offered to them. The leaders in particular were open in their statements that they would see some of the high authorities in the place of eternal fires before they would sign. . HoWever,'here we wish to take time and space to state that it is with a feeling of pride in our University and a feeling of confidence in our Board of Directors who have had the judgment to engage such a man as our Chan- cellor is, that we relate that, no matter how hot the opposition may have been, no matter how broad and threatening at times the cries of the accused may have become, Chancellor Osborn stood his ground as he saw the right and in the end he won as all those from the time of Adam to the present have done who have had the courage of their convictions and a belief in their own judgments enough to stand by a thing when they thought it was right, no matter what the odds.
