first speaker, as the Nestor of Pacific University, who has outlived two generations and is now in the third. Dr. Bates expressed the sentiment of the whole assembly in these words: Ain't it a grand and glorious feeling . Mr. Fenenga was next introduced and he told how he, as the scout, had located the gift. Following Mr. Fenenga, President Weir arose to speak. The enthusiastic cheers which greeted him revealed the appreciation the students felt for the work of Mr. Weir as President of their institution. President Weir emphasized his feeling of renewed confidence in the future of Pacific University. It was this confidence which made him give up his former work in order to devote himself to building up the University. When President Weir had finished speaking the faculty left the platform to make room for a stunt by the students. This stunt was a short pantomine following the story of Pacific's various attempts to raise money. At the mention of each failure, two students with heads together and the arms of each over the shoulders of the other to form a zero, marched onto platform. This continued until five zeroes stood in line. At this point the story become more hopeful, for President Weir arrived, and standing beside the five zeroes, suddenly transformed the failures into SIO0,000, and with Mr. Fenenga holding the dollar mark, the figure as well as the story was complete. Clean-Up and Freld Day In previous years one day each fall has been setiaside and declared a holiday for the purpose of freeing the campus of leaves. On this day the students attire themselves in hard time costumes, rake the leaves in piles and haul them from the campus. The date of Clean-up Day is usually determined by the fall of the leaves, but last autumn the trees were so loathe to part with their foliage that Clean-up Day was postponed to April third and combined with Field Day. Even though Clean-up Day dawned rather cloudy and threatening, there appeared on the campus such a throng of gay costumes and such a display of motley attires that Jupiter, if he had had any evil intent, decided to leave it unexpressed for at least one more day. All sorts of implements for work were in evidence, the most prominent being rakes and forks, which were used to such good advantage that the campus soon began to assume an appearance of sleekness. The workers were divided into groups and each group under a supervisor was assigned to a certain part of the campus. To one group was given thelwork of hauling the leaves away, to the pile behind the old redwood tree. This pile, though seas .sees ez az ev ta ea Q an es: E EE v-J O fn O De R 16 -lk H3 Q ea az ez ll e age mmm, EEEEHQQEEEQQEQ QQEQEEQE QQEEE iftafcaaaaaaazaaaaeamzamamaeeaatazaazaaezala ca ta E za ra za ta E I ca ca ca za za ca Q ra ca ca as ca IE ca ta Q ca ra E 1 ra , H ea r ca as ce sages sagem One hundred fifty-one

EEEEEEEQE still small, is a monument to the ages. Still another group spent the morning at Herrick Hall preparing for the big rush in that direction about noon. Townspeople may have thought that Pacific University had turned to the circus to raise her campaign money if they had heard the shouting and hilarity on the campus. The old adage, happiest when busiest , proved its truth on this occasion. No idlers were to be found. No one dared be idle for fear the general manager, in his ofhcial looking uniform, might chance upon them. By noon nearly all the leaves were raked together and when the call came come and get it no idlers were to be found. A long line of hungry tramps, of all nationalities, immigrants, spinsters, and even gentlemen in evening dress filed up to the Herrick Hall porch where they were served buns. meat, pickles, potato salad, gravy, coffee and ice cream. - When at last the hunger had been appeased, the truck committee returned to its work, andthe loggers and lumbermen with their fair assistants returned to the old fallen oak. This oak had become so ancient that it was found necessary to remove it, lest it damage its fellow trees. Freshman Bench Remembering the number of times they had been compelled to leave the Senior bench by order of the Vigilance Committee the Freshmen conceived the idea of a bench all their own, so with saws and axes the Rooks soon moulded a rustic settee from the trunk of the old oak. Incidentally some candidate loggers were found among the girls who took their turns at the end of a cross- cut saw and proved their ability in bench manufacturing. ' Thus ended the annual f'clean-up , but the day was not done until the Sophomores carried away the field day honors in the intra-mural track contest, with a total of eighty-four points. The Freshmen received second place with forty-six points. - .
