Correspondence in all numbering is Invited. 50,000. I have had occasion from time to time during the past few years to avail myself of the Fisk Teachers' Agencies. They are wide awake and keep track of the best people who are looking for situations, and so bring the situation and the person who desires the situation into very immediate and direct contact. I think the teachers' agencies are a very useful element in our educational system, and I do not believe there is any superior to the Fisk. From PRES. EDMUND J. JAMES, State University, Urbana, Ill.

Out of the Past l URING its ten years of existence, Reed, like all other live - college communities, has not been lacking in interesting episodes peculiar to itself. The following is an attempt to compile some of the latter for the enlightenment and ediflcation of the present generation of students. The major part of the material was drawn from the files of the Quest, but much was also obtained from borrowed personal diaries and by querying old-timers. Some of the quotations were taken with the View of illustrating the contrast between Reed life as it is and as it used to be; for example, who could imagine a custom among Reed students such as depicted in the essay on llOur Table Manners: quoted below.P or that there should ever have been a llscandal problem', on the Reed campus? or a condition of student apathy such as is set forth in the letter from A Critic to the Quest editor, also quoted at length below? 1912 Thanksgiving Day. First Reed football game played on Mult- nomah Field. Sophs whip Frosh. 1913. January 16. First edition of the Reed College Quest, published fortnightly. Name Quest adopted as a result of a letter to the president from Mr. Coleman referring to the Reed commumty as the uComrades of the Quest? . January 25.
