After the completion of the above exercises the ladies of Gettysburg served a colla- tion in Recitation Hall which was enjoyed by over four hundred guests. Among the speakers was a number of our distinguished visitors. ln the afternoon the Honorable Delegates and Guests were given an opportunity to View the battlefield. Our football team showed the Gettysburg Spirit by winning from Lebanon Valley by a score of 24-O. A reception by Dr. and Mrs. Granville brought the occasion to a fitting close. l-lere was no discord. The brilliancy and success of the event were heightened by per- fect harmony and unanimity.

HE academic year which this volume aims to depict and commit to his- lb f tory has been an exceptional year in more ways than one. It will doubt- ,ifg N less stand out prominently in the future annals of the institution as mark- L1 ing the beginning of a real epoch. The seventy-ninth year of the exist- ence of Pennsylvania College and the first of the administration of Presi- dent Granville, it has been notable in many respects. The year may best be characterized in brief as a year of transition, The old has not been entirely carried away, and the new has not been fully set up. Many and vast changes have been planned, it is true, and some have already been carried into execution, but not a few of these had been planning for some years, and a larger number will not go into effect until the next academic year. Such are the higher entrance requirements, the entire rearrangement of all courses of instruction, and the addition of a number of important new courses. So that the prospect to the morrow delights even more than the retrospect of yesterday or the review of today. For in all that affects the most vital in- terests and the actual efficiency of the institution it is expected that the real epoch will begin with the next academic year, and the present year has been pre-eminently one of careful preparation of details and deliberate formulation of larger plans. Nevertheless, even in this year of transition and preparation a number of well-considered and not un- important innovations have been made, and midst all the business of re-arrangement and the delights of anticipation several events of permanent significance have transpired. The summit and climax of the academic year was reached early in the Fall, on October Twentieth, in the Induction into Office of William Anthony Granville, Ph.D., as President of the College. A detailed account of that imposing event may be gathered from other pages of this volume. It was without doubt the most august ceremony and the most distinguished assemblage of visitors that academic Gettysburg has ever witnessed. The stately procession, the dignified ceremony, and the inspiring addresses, sent a veritable thrill of enthusiasm and loyalty through the entire student body and the large concourse of alumni and friends who were present. Faculty and Board of Trustees looked with pride upon the pleasing prospect there opened to view. Many are the bonds of union between Gettysburg and other institutions that were begotten that day, and many fi distinguished friend of the College will trace the birth of his friendly interest to the event of that day. The Inaugural Address sounded the key-note of evolutionary progress in the spirit of conservative optimism. This note has been ringing ever sinceg it has given tone to the entire atmosphere of the College, and it will continue to ring, we hope, until it swells into the mighty symphony of copious success. The year began with a happy innovation in the form of Student Self-Government. The Faculty had approved the movement and had aided in the preliminary plans and outlines. The Board through its Executive Committee had constituted the organization. Page Seventeen . 'fir-ll 'l I ',
