7he 7f$idl7fd . , . COLLEGE RECEPTION University life received its first impetus in the annual college reception held on September 17. This was the 1n1t1a1 comlng out for all the new students especially freshmen. The key note of the affair was sounded in President Clarkis favorite reference to iiThe Pacific Family. Townsmen, students and faculty gathe ered in Brighton Chapel in as large a gathering as the veteran meeting place has yet witnessed to become better acquainted Wlth each other and the school in general. Various amusements and different methods calculated to augment the feeling or relation- ship thruout the crowd made the evening disappear rapidly. President Clark spoke to the new students and friends in an energetic speech of welcome, hearkening into the past and prophe- sying into the future as to the Worth of Pacific U. i His speech was followed by solos sung by Arthur J ones, which led off into College songs and yells that made a fitting close for the first college event of the year. From the time that the Faculty receiving line was success- fully braved until the last strains of iiHail, Old Pacific, Hail? had died away on the September air, dull moments were out of order and good fellowship reigned supreme. RALLIES Custom decress that the Freshmen furnish the nucleous for the premier Rally of the year and this years class could scarcely be accused of slacking in any way.

Through the courtesy of ttAustert, scarcely a leaf was left un- fallen When the big drive was called. A hundred rakes and forks soon rolled the thick brown carpet into hige piles Which the truck gang carted away to the leaf-mould dump. Herrick was invaded at noon by thescores of hungry work- ers, tramps, vagabonds and ttfurrinerstt hob-nobbed With society vamps and bowry soubrettes, While Percival, the eccentric dude, carried on With innumerable apron-gowned working girls or khaki-clad gypsy maids. Italians and Laplanders, ttDahk culled Ladiest even cherub faced youngsters of very tender years plied the rake during work- ing hours With no little zest and the fork at dinner time With equal exhileration. The side-walk gang, after a morning of real work ate- heartily With the Rakers tMary includedt in fact no one, slighted the treats that Lucy Morse and her committee had provided. Probably in the memory of many the hour marking the division :1: mdormng and afternoon Will be the most pleasant of any during e ay. t Rain cut the afternoon work short but no end of gOOd things were accomphshed by those Who worked inside Marsh Hall and
