K i THE CHAPEL There is a big room in the college, Which is better than all the rest, And ol' all the subjects of knowledge, The lgcnowledge taught there is the est. Neither Greek, nor Latin is taught there, Neither Physics, nor Business course. And yelt, what the student will find l iere May well be of all knowledge the source. The teachers and all of the students Assemble twice a week in this hall. They will sit there, or sing, or will listen, A When the president talks to them all. And no one of that mixed variety But has the good thought in his heart: We belong all to one great society, Of which everyone is a part. Of oneness we there get a notion XVhen we listen, or sing, or applaud, And then feel the greater emotion Ol' oneness, in word and in thought. Or do you not know of that fire, Those currents of finer alloy, NVhen friendship or love you aspire, And give you a feeling of joy? Or do you not know the sensation That may into your system be broughtg When a crowd radiates the vibration Ot' a good and harmonious thought? Don't you see, then, that all that is greater Upon harmony founded must be? Avoid, then, to find fault with your neighbor, But always find-how to agree. -G. E. Gum:

BIBLE CLASSES At the beginning ol' the present college year, a Sunday morning Bible Class was organized for the men ot' the institution, to meet in the Y. M. C. A. room at 9:45. Dean E. E. Strawn, ol' the Commercial De- partment, was selected to take charge ot' the class, and the lessons ot' the Presbyterian Sunday School, ol' which this class is a branch, were selected for study. At one time the enrollment reached one hundred and sixteen members, and was well attended throughout the year. After tl1e Elliott campaign, seven evening classes were organized, which met on Monday evening after supper in students' rooms in the several floors of the dormitories. The ministers ol' ll1e Park acted as leaders, and much good was done by the study and discussion ot' the Bible in these small groups in interesting the men.
