f - ' 2 . - t fi The various diversive activities of the community are running a healthful course. A means of further regulative oversight of social functions has been devised by identify- ing them more closely with college interests and by making them accessible to a larger number of students. Thus many opportunities are now afforded for the cultivation of disposition as well as acquisition. And this is important. Merely miscellaneous knowl- edge and mental training can never be the whole of a college education. Ignorance is blisters but stiff learning is icicles. ln the sphere of athletics also a new departure must be recorded. The Athletic Council was reconstituted to consist of three members, one representative each from the Faculty, the alumni, and the students. The management of all sports was placed in the hands of a graduate manager. This arrangement conforming to the best usage at other institutions has operated very satisfactorily. As all-year coach the services of Mr. Vail were continued again this year and the entire physical training of the students was offi- cially placed in his hands. We completed an unusually successful foot-ball season, triumphing brilliantly over our three rivals by dint of sheer stick-to-it-iveness, a quality that has come to be denominated the Yale-Gettysburg spirit . But Coach Vail's ideal for athletics is not limited to inter-collegiate victories, and his efforts are not confined to the college champions so that the vast majority of students must gain their physical educa- tion by proxy, but his constant aim is to lead every student to particpate in at least one branch of athletics. And clean, manly sportsmanship is everywhere insisted upon. To these ends the Athletic Council co-operates. Difficulties between the lower classes have been adjusted in a way that will prevent disgraceful conflicts. Daylight contests of brawn have been provided for under proper oversight and regulation. Thus the effervescence of youth has been provided with outlets calculated to prevent explosions, but in no case is proper college work relegated to the background or made a mere annex to athletic exhibitions. A number of other features distinguishing the present academic year might be dwelt upon at length if space permitted. The Y. M. C. A. work of the year has been above par and has helped in large measure to secure the present high tone of morality and Christian activity. A free course of Faculty lectures is under way. An additional in- structor was employed in the Preparatory Department. A Registrar was provided for the College. Class deans were appointed. The bonds of union with our constituency have been drawn tighter through multiform organizations. Commencement this year will be marked by the disappearance of the traditional ten speeches and the appearance of the academic robe on Faculty and Board. But above all mention must be made of that indescribable somewhat which has brooded over the entire academic year and which may best be defined as an all-pervading enthusiasm for Greater Gettysburg . And now the College starts upon a campaign for fl3300,000 additional endowment. More funds are asked for, not to invest in stone and marble monuments, not for pomp and circumstance, but to furnish ambitious young men of high spirits and lofty ideals with adequate opportunities for energetic expression and noble achievement, to provide more teachers and to make possible more efficient work in the training of sturdy manhood which shall be devoted to the high service of religion, state. and nation.
