lDE phony Orchestra, although feeling keenly the loss of. their beloved director, President Daland, gave a creditable concert under the direction of Professor L. H. Stringer. A very noticeably increased interest in the four literary societies has been observed since 1921. lvleetings have been carried on with greater regularity than formerly, and a friendly, though keen, rivalry has existed between them. The four societies recommended that 11 Midsufzzzzzez' Nighfs Dream be chosen for the annual Shake- spearean play. The performance of this play was a pronounced success in every Way. An important step has been taken in the organization of the Student Body. What formerly comprised the Athletic Association, the Oratorical Association, and the For- ward Movement have been merged into a single organization which has taken over their functions together with all of the other student activities, such as the publication of the Review and the Fidcfs. A new institution, the Midwinter All-college Booster Banquet has been originated, and its success in the past two years has insured its per- manency upon the College Calendar. At this banquet, the students divid-e themselves into groups according to states or communities and rival each other in originating plans for boosting Milton.

FIDESE The College Shortly following the close of the school year in which the first FIDES made its appearance, the death of Milton's beloved President, Reverend William C. Daland, Cast a spell of gloom and sorrow over the life of the College. However, with the burden of his task upon their shoulders, the faculty and the students, under the leader- ship ol Acting President Whitford, have endeavored to carry onug with his ideals as their guide, they have striven to make Milton College all that he wished it to be. A gradually increasing registration has marked the last two years. In the year 1921-ZZ the total number reached one hundred twenty-eight, while in the present year it has exceeded one hundred forty. There have been a few changes in the teaching staff of the College. In the fall of 1921, changes were made in the Biology, Physics, and Education Departments, Miss Amey Van Horn filling the position of instructor in Biology, A. B. Crofoot, in Physics, and Dr. C. A. Mohr, of California, heading the Education Department. In the present year, these three members of the facul.ty have been replaced by Miss Ruth Stillman, in the Biology Department, by C. F. Oakley in the Physics Department, and by Dr. Edwin Shaw, Professor J. N. Daland, and R. A. Buell, principal of the local high school, in the Department of Education. Under these competent instructors and the permanent faculty, the scholastic work of the institution has been kept up to a high standard. Late in the fall of 1921, a memorial service was held in memory of the late Presi- dent Daland. Dr. Edwin l-I. Lewis of Chicago gave the principal address of the evening, and in addition to this there were many shorter tributes of love, admiration, and reverence in behalf of numerous organizations such as the Student Body, the Board of Trustees, the State Association of College Presidents, the Village, and many others. Through the kindness and generosity of Mr. N. O. Moore, '03, who is the head of the Printing Department in the Polytechnic High School, Riverside, California, the various addresses and tributes given at the memorial service were compiled and printed in the form of a Memorial Booklet. The booklet was distributediamong the faculty, students, and alumni of the college. During the past two years the student activities have been progressing unusually well. A new era in Milton College athletics was started in the fall of 1921. For the first time in the history of the College, through the efforts of the Alumni Athletics Board, a full time athletic coach and physical director, George H. Crandall, was secured. Along with the new coach came a revision of the entire athletic program. Football was introduced for the first. time in many years, and track and tennis were addul to the list of intercollegiate sports. Although the first two years of the new pro- gram have not brought many winning teams, there is no cause for discouragement, because Coach Crandall, with his consistent ideals of good sportsmanship and clean athletics, has built a strong foundation for the future. B'1llt0l'l,S forensics have also been advancing in the last two years. The debate schedule was increased from three intercollegiate debates in the season of 1922 to six debates this season. This schedule includes some of the strongest colleges in this section of the United States. Upon the invitation of the State Oratorical Association, Milton College has become a member of that organization. H. R. Sheard was the first repre- sentative from Milton to enter the state contest. n Q , - ' Q ' X Nor leger in the list of progressing college activities is music.
