xml 'Mm 'RFNX ,Fi - as A - A -- 1915 Cardinal Day The first event of the Cardinal year was the final effort of the class of 1915 to impress upon the school the fact that this was the only great Cardinal ever was or is to be. This took the form of a Cardinal Dayl' occurring on April the ninth. In the celebration they enlisted the faculty and obtained permission to conduct the Chapel and suspend the 10 :20 and 11:10 classes. The class of honor tiled sedately onto the platform at the Chapel hour, each member garbed according to his or her idea of the usual appearance of the in- cumbent of the oflice represented. Ingham as editor, wore a green shade and carried the editor's pillow. He wore no coat and had ink daubed liberally over his sleeves. After announcing that the occasion was to be a loyalty program, Ingham introduced several speakers who were to discuss diiferent phases of college life. Mr. W. A. Dexter as a representative of the business men spoke on HBusi- ness Interests . Next came Hal Riggs in behalf of' the Seniors, C. W. Ennis for the collegeg Mathers for the Sophomores, and Hunter for the Freshmen. After this inspiring program further entertainment was announced at the gymnasium. Enroute the Sophomores discovered the Freshmen in possession of an infinitessimal piece of blue and white cheese cloth, the emblem of their classg riot reigned supreme for a few minutes but ended with no blood spilled as all contestants were pacified with a souvenir of the tattered remains. Inside the gym a push ball contest took place between the same two classes. The ball was a steel barrel filled with water to prevent any unearned gains. The mini- mum of motion was the reward for the maximum expenditure of energy and the faculty found' it necessary to refer the results to arbitration in order to prevent the destruction of the gym and surrounding buildings. Next in order came a desperate five round battle between Kenoyer, the Kansas Demon and Horning, the Dakota Slugger , endingiin a knockout blow delivered by the leather-lunged Horning. Allen, the great white hope, refereed the match insuring a square deal to the opponents. In a prize voting contest, Leigh Ladd was elected the biggest crabber in school by an overwhelming majority. Then came the crowning event, the delivery of the 1915 Cardinal which proved the fondest dreams and boasts of the staff to be well founded, and amid the congratulations of the fellow students the radiantly happy Juniors departed to dwell among the clouds of fame. noaemlf

This was the consummation of negotiations that have been in progress for several months, and will be cheering news to all the friends of the college. It will be recalled that President Brooke was working out cherished plans for a greater Leander Clark, plans which two years ago he was compelled to give up on account of a nervous breakdown. Life on a Kansas ranch has brought back his physical vigor and Mr. Brooke came back with characteristic energy and enthusiasm to take up the work he was compelled to lay down. There is a spirit of heroism as well as loyalty and devotion in this decision, for it means a large sacrilice of personal and iinancial interests and a serious risk to health and peace of mind, it is sheer devotion to a loved institution plus a relentless sense of obligation to bring to completion the great task once undertaken. On his arrival in the city he was tendered a reception and banquet at the college building by the faculty, students, and citizens of Toledo and Tama. This reception was primarily a student movement, the faculty heartily endorsing and aiding in the plans. The banquet which was in six courses, was served by the Domestic Science classes under the direction of Miss Veda Currey, the head of this department, whose exceptional albility was shown in the artistic manner of serving as well as the palatability of the courses. The toast program followed the banquet with Dean H. W. Ward ably serv- ing in the capacity of toastmaster. The college was likened to a brook and the following toasts were responded to: Its Source, President M. P. Drury, Its Course, Hon: S. C. Huber, Its Tributaries, C. W. Ennis, The Overflow, Thomas McMillan, The Destiny, Dr. F. E. Brooke. The toasts were splendid, all over- flowing with enthusiasm for Leander Clark and its future prospects. Each speaker in turn expressed his sincere confidence in Dr. Brooke and all 'those present, not on the program, endorsed this confidence by wearing unique little badges bearing the inscription 'tWe'11e for Brooke . The new business manager plead for the hearty co-operation of faculty, students and friends of the college. Dr. Brooke says, HI can perform no miracles, but with your help and co-opera- tion we can accomplish almost any desired end. You have asked me to come and raise money. I will do my best, and you can do as much. mlb I I
