A., University of Wisconsin. z9itdia'75gXNtiUAUES are art galleries where are on display the masterpieces of philosophy, fiction, drama, and poetry. To deny oneself the L pleasure and profit of these abundant works of art is to fail to take advantage of one of the opportunities of culture. Watch them as 59EW$S they present themselves: Roland and Oliver, Don Quixote, Gil Blas, Rene, jean Valjezm, Cyrano, and countless others whose valor, wit, and philoso- phy are so diverting and pleasing. Truly wide and diversified is the field that is opened to us in the study of French and SpanisheD. N. Inglis. GERMAN Instructor: Mrs. Anna Sophia Crandall, ttFrauf M. A., Milton College. The German department attempts to give the student a certain mastery of the essentials of the German grammar, idiom and vocabulary, and to create in him 21 feelingr for the finer points of style, and a real and lasting appreciation for the German language and literature, for its wealth of fiction, drama, poetry, and philosophy, and hence a sympathetic understanding with the spirit of the German people, their life, character and institutions.eMrs. C.

To Canterbury would you weud with Dan Chaucer in the sweet spring time of our race? Or seek you the realms of gold where gentle Shakespeare reigns and the lark at heavenk gate sings? With Milton you may pass the hauling bounds of Place and Time. Through the. misty mountain winds of XVordswortlf's verse there blows the still, sad music of humanity. Thither you may go aivoyaging in books. Where lies the land? eMahel Maxsou. From America's virgin forests and unsealed peaks, from her mighty rivers and inland seas, from Indian legends and pioneer songs, from smoke of battle and smoke of peace, from the hearts and minds of 21 nation of free men and women, there have come, as yet, few voices whose songs will ring through the ages, there has come no single voice whichhas encompassed all. And what of the future? i The next hundredwears hold the answer L. C. Shaw. Ihlyu 'l '-zwnly--fuur

REV. CLARENCE D. ROYSE Vice-Presidentis Message we look to our colleges to conserve the best standards of the past and to build ideals for the future. Their mission is spiritual, not material. But the ideals of a college need a material basis for their expression. We need grounds and buildings, libraries and laboratories, heat and light, and many other ttthings? Ideals of Christian character and intellectual culture are the real workers of Milton College, but material things are the tools of their workmanship. A good college does not forget its ideals, but does not become idealistic in the sense that it neglects its tools, either as to keeping its kit complete or as to keeping the individual tools in proper condition for the best work. To the material, then, certain of our efforts must be dedicated, yet we are not materialistic. Always there must be iihewers of wood and drawers of water ; and always there will be some whose work may seem less noble; but in the intererelation of material and spiritual, all good work is noble and none is ignoble. Our ambition for Milton is that she shall be a good college; that she shall stand for the highest things in manhood and womanhood; that the spirit of learningethe real scientific spirit:sha11 dominate her class rooms; and that she shall prosper in the things material that help to make possible the realization of her spiritual and cultural ideals.
