10 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. wins the respect and friendship of his charge, his duty is performed, and the verb or the chemicals can assume their secondary places. On the rolls of our large institutions of learning are found the names of men, world famed for their learning. Into their lecture rooms come each year hun- dreds of men, mostly Seniors of the Universities. Doctors by Do these Professors and their actual contact and influence ever attempt to mould the characters of the students under them? Does not the teacher in the small college by his close intimacy enrich the lives of every man under hischarge? Does not his character enter that of the students giving them an ideal for emulation and effort ? A small college recently suffered the loss of one of their most popular and best beloved professors. The student publication voiced the feelings of every man in that college when it said: ‘‘So implicitly did all of us trust him, so accustomed were we to turn to him as our ideal and our example that to lose him seems little less than to have lost a father, who pointed us constantly and steadfastly to the purest and noblest ideals of living, physical, intellectual, moral, spiritual.’’ Let us now turn to that many-sided organization of mysteries, the student body of a college. In the large Univer- sity, the student body can hardly be called an organization Their numbers lack unity and concentrated purpose. They are simply scattered bands of stu- dents attending classes on the University campus. We often hear how hundreds of University students attend athletic games to cheer on their teams. What proportion of the student body do they represent? Sometimes a half and very rarely two-thirds. Recently from a col- lege numbering less than two hundred nearly two-thirds of the students jour- neyed over a hundred miles to cheer on their foot ball team in a game which they all felt meant sure defeat. In addition to these things the bonds of friendship are firmer in the small in- | on thecampus with a Freshman. stitution.

THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 4 The ‘‘Bones”’ 1s an organization com- posed of High School students, which was formed during the present term. five It now numbers idea being to elect two members each members, the year from the Senior class of the follow- ing year, thus eventually making it a Senior organization. The first meeting was held May 5that 12 p. m. in the luxuriously (?) furnished apartments of the Club. At this meeting a simple program was carried out. It consisted in raising the emblem of the Club and the selecting of our insignia. It is proposed to hold a banquet at the end of each school year, at which the two new members chosen for the ensuing year will be initiated. We firmly hope and believe that the Club has a very bright future before it. T’he names of the members are as fol- lows: © O —?| ? [PP] ?4 @$W;—0?X —O V!:—= X X?+!

E. Scripture jr. Captain The record of the foot ball team for the fall of 1901 shows that there is some good material in the school. For the last few years the school has not taken the interest in foot ball that it should, and when only fourteen men turn out to try for positions, it is very hard to do any- thing.
