student life is represented by the greatest number. The student who belongs to this class touches most nearly our ideal. He is a man with a true college spirit, helps support student publications and college organizations, belongs to the athletic association, and does all he can for the cause of athletics. He is the kind of fellow you want for a friend, and the man you like to talk to. It may become necessary for him to have fun every now and then, and you can’t blame him for throwing a bag of water on a sweet little girl, or possibly, on a professor, when an extraordinarily good opportunity presents itself. We will allow him, also, to cut a class on pressing occasions (provided the occasions do not come too often). He is aware of the fact that association is half of a school boy’s education. Very often, too, he may fall in love, but this is a characteristic of all of us (even of the Faculty), at one time or another. Life at college is one of the best places to judge a man’s real character and merit, and we are pleased with what is found in our students. Our student body is one in which the moral and intellectual standards are very high, and one in which true worth, and not money, obtains for one his rank and favor with the student body. (£l«bs aub ©rtjantzattnna There is a deep interest taken along this line by both departments and sexes. At present there are three permanent literary societies—The Garland, The Mathesian, and The Periclean. The Ozark is published by these societies. The oratorical feature receives encouragement from faculty and students. The Cole medal contest is open to the members of The Garland for the greatest improvement in debate, and the Droke medal is awarded to the best declaimer of The Mathesian. The society halls are situated on the fourth floor of the main building, are carpeted, well lighted, seated, and furnished with libraries, pianos, tables, etc. A deep interest is also taken in clubs by most of the collegiate students, yet there are some, as might be expected, who do not believe (?) in them. If it is the desire of a band of students of a particular turn to bind t hemselves into a closer relation and into a more intimate friendship with one another, no one should object. Selected and governed as our clubs are, they help to direct and discipline one’s business and social qualities to higher ideals. At present there are six clubs carrying on an active existence—The Richardson Club, The Arkansas Club, The Success Club, The Triangle Club, The Has Been Club, and The Eclectics. In past years there have been a number of others, such as the S. U. N. Club, the Shakespearean Club, the Tenth Legion, etc., but in course of time each one hat durch gefalien. Our Glee Club has not been thoroughly organized this year. For the promotion of Scientific interest a Science Club, under the supervision of the professors of the different sciences, meets once every two weeks.
