Atfiter this an address was given bry Dr. Smith on the subject, Forces that Make for Peace . This address was exception- ally interesiting and instructive, the sulbject being treated from the broad standpoints of economy, humanity and justice. The present progress of the peace movement was notedg the greatest present day problems of the nations regarding war was discussedg and the outlook for the lfuture aboli- tion of war was clearly presented. In short, the address was a strong argu- ment for the reasonableness of the present agitation of Peace societies regarding vvorld's peace. Following this address a reading was given by Prof.Smucker which pre- senlted the value of optimism and ef- fort as necessarty elements in all pro- gressive movements. A program of this sort can not help but promote the cause of peace among people whose minds are open to reason and whose sympathies are with the loftiest ideals of the present century. 924 925 95 95 Our Degree Recognized.

1910 GOSHEN COLLEGE RECORD. 169 FIRST IMPRESSIONS. QThe following are reminiscences of a student upon his first visit to Go- shen College. They are inserted here in order to shlow the usual frank and intelligent attitude of persons who areplaced in circumstances which are entirely new. The natural dialect is 'preserved in order to portray his na- tive characteristic as he relates his ex- 'periencesj 1.-4 VVell sir, today I chanced upon a most adrmiring discovery. It's some- things so different from anything we Montana peoplels been used to that I lfeel jist like telling everybody about it. As I was goin tio say, it happen- ed like this: I was riding on one of them new sort of cars called interur- ansue and just as we come in sight of Goshen the cfonductor yelled out, Go- shen College, next stop! Maybe you think I w'asn't surprised for I'd been hearing so much talk about col- leges and was just hlankering to know what they did at such places. They had been telling me it was for educa- tion. VVell I don't go much on this educating business so far as I can see it, but yet when a fellerls been livin out there among tihem Mfontana mountains all his days, he's mighty glad for and interesting change. So when that feller bawled out about Go- shen College, I begin to grab my things and to make a quick rush for the door, I don't have time to tell y'ou all about the appearance of things but I must say ift's a purty nice looking dis- riict out there. There's a purty little meadow or campus fthe college folks call itl right in front between the v buildings like and the grass is kept all nice and smooth. Thereis a round bus- iness in the middle that's always spouting up water and there's some Hower beds or something such-like scattered round at different places. The Howers are nice enough but there's one thing about it I never could Egger out and that's this :-Some of them beds is chuck full of scrub bushes, buck-brush and the like. I said to myself when I seen it, Let em come to my home out in the moun- tains and I'll show 'em all the buck- bruslh they want to see already plant- ed and growed up itself. Then as I Hrst come up the middle walk along about six oiclock there was la bell being rung on one of the porches and in a minute I saw people strinlging in from every direction. Some came from the buildings, some from down the road and some from the back pasture and every which way. And there was all sizes from liittle bits of boys and girls to big growed up folks all laughing and talk- ing as happy as you please. XVell sir, I must say, in spite of all my criticising on colleges and educa- tion I had to fall in with them people and enjoy myself like the rest. It's al- together different when a feller's right almong things than when heis off look- ing on and hearing about them. A fel- ler will learn new ideas now and then and I guess Itm no exception to the rule. in I want to give a couple of my observ- ances at one of the classes in this col- lege. It was a class in history of some 'kind and the teacher was a midling big gentleman-looking fellow. By the way,
