Never before has a teachers' college been honored with the National Meet and never before has our city been favored with a national event. To various committees of students andi faculty members goes the distinction of performing a splendid job in the promotion of this affair. The National Committee Wrote that they had never been so impressed with the efficiency exercised? by local committees. Not only were the essential details taken care of in a proficient manner, but other items were incorporated in the program that contributed to the success of the tourna- ment. We were proud of the special issues of the Statesman and Ink Sense. Our band inspired our visitors by playing' their school songs, and al- though the attendance at the sessions Was very disappointing, the visitors were completely satisfied with the treatment they Were accorded. The members of the National Committee were unanimous in their praise of the meet as the best conducted in the history of the championships. T88l

Music for the affair was furnished by Lew Schill- ing's Purdue campus band. A terrific snow-storm somewhat dampened pro- ceedings, but did not prevent a success- ful evening. E891
