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
