class. The jictitiun stated that Horace lacked several years of Latin due to the fact that Latin had been cut out in the Appendicitis schools, but that he would make up the said deficiency in (•ettysburg Academy. After some discussion, Mr. Spoof was admitted, and Dean Bikte was instructed to sec that the Latin was administered in generous quantities. Professor Kosenstengle reported that he had already nude one trip of inspection through the college dormitories, and had confiscated no less than two dozen high-powered light glolics and a bushel basket full of electric irons. “The strange thing to me,” said the professor, “Is that this equipment has already disappeared from the vault in the physical laboratory in which it was placed. There is a traitor holding a confidential position somewhere. We should never sleep until we have run him to earth. This qircch was greeted with a round of applause. Professor “Bow-lev Miller moved that the playing of trombones in a college dormi- tory lie strictly forbidden. Dr. Hagen seconded the motion, mentioning the fact that since his son had started taking trombone lessons, he (Dr. Hagen) had developed a dis- tinct antipathy for trombones. A lively discussion followed, in which it was pro| osed not only to bar trombones Imt all miscclleneoti tvqw of sound producing instruments, such as ukuleles, sweet potatoes, ct cetera, et cetera. The motion was finally lost due to a general feeling among a large number of the faculty that the instinct for music should not lie curbed or thwarted in any manner Dr. Arms suggested that alt Sophomores lie required to take calculus as a mental ex- ercise: a sort of running mate, so to speak, to physical training. Dr. Granville indicated that he was strongly in favor of such action. Prof. Roscmtcnglc s|»okc at length on the practical benefits of the calculus in live lathe work in the engineering laboratory. Dr. Kramer said that the idea did not a|ipca1 to him as logical. He was about to say more when lie was overcome by the fumes of Dr Brcidcnl laugh's |»i| e- No definite action was taken. Dr. Billheimer reported for the committee on social functions. He said that the rush was on. and that several fraternity men had already been trampled under foot in a mad scramble to secure the “sweat-box for certain desirable dates. “Gentlemen ' said Dr. Granville. “After this meeting is over, you will put on your academic robes and proceed with me to Brua Chapel, where we will lie greeted by one of the largest student bodies of which Gettysbuig College has ever ! ccn able to boast. Do I hear a motion for adjournment? At this point Dr. Grimm was anight trying to make a quiet getaway, and was dragged back forcibly into the assemblage. “Aber ich will nicht in der Kapellc gchen. remonstrated the doctor. “Ich muse essen. “Come. said Dr. Valentine. “This ceremony hapfx-us hut once in a single academic year. Think of the students who arc compelled to attend chapel two hundred times a year. Tin doctors now’ donned their rolic and started on their journey to the chajiel. Thus it was that Horace after a morning filled with activity, stood with la red head and watched the procession of the learned file by. He was to come into close personal contact with all these men for four long years, and was to find among them true friends and wise counsellors. 'Hie reverence with which lie watched them |oss was proplu-tic of the more intimate relationship which is characteristic of the big family at Gettysburg College. 24
