EVERYBODY WORKS BUT THE FACULTY l. Oh, a studentis life is a hard one, l-le 's at his work all day, It 's this thing here and that thing there And not much time for play. l-le's up at six in the morning To begin his all-day grind And even at night the spectre of work l-launts his belabored mind. l-low often he looks with longing At the Faculty lazy and sleek ' And wishes he could be in their shoes For just one tiny week. l-low nice to assign long lessons And hear the students groan As they make the vain endeavor To do three day's work in one. CHORUS. Oh! everybody works but the Faculty, And they 've a nice soft snap. Just sit in class with a haughty air, And never work a rap. They 've a lead-pipe cinch on the students As sure as sure can be, For everybody works in college But the Facultee. H. If you get too smart with your lessons They 'll give you a thesis to write, Or pile up the outside reading To keep you awake all night. They 'll go on the way rejoicing And let you dig away, You neednlt think they care a whoop For anything you say. Oh! they can while away the time A playing Forty-Two. The only thing they care for ls that you ,ve enough to do. So keep your nose on the grindstone And don't bemoan your fate, Just dig away and hope and pray That they donlt Hunk you straight. CHORUS. Oh! everybody works but the Faculty, And they've a nice soft snap. Just sit in class with a haughty air And never work a rap.

One qualification of admission is an endowment of at least S100,000.00. In Oratory we have been well represented. Four titres has Tarkio stood for her State in the inter State contest, winning fourth place out of eleven contestants in 1905. PURPOSE.-Cue respect in which the college has not changed in all its twenty-three years is in the degree of scholarship which it has maintained. And in pursuance of this purpose it has been the constant aim to retain a faculty of the highest standard. As few changes as possible are made in the corps of instructors. The present President has been serving in that capacity since '87, the Professor of Chemistry since '89g the Professor cf Creek since ,905 and the Professor of Mathematics since '92, All of ,which is dryly statistical, but clearly indicative of earnest effort on the part of teachers, the constantly increasing interest of all who in any way come in touch with the college, and, as a consequence, the steady growth of the institution. A LOOK l7ORWARD.-Tarkiois enrollment for 1905-6 has been larger than ever and collegiate departments have greatly increasedg in the last before. The preparatory two years the conservatory has more than doubled, the vocal department has tripled. A new conservatory and an additional instructor in that department is part of the plan for next year's work. With a new dormitory for men, and our additional endowment of f1S100,000.00 from its liberal patron, David Rankin, and the other warm friends of the College, we look out upon the future with brightest hopes.
