THE COLLEGE BELL. SONNET. Far almove the spreading forest trees, That east upon the campus, cooling shade, Within its tower, old and much decayed, Alxides the ancient College Bell. Its peals Call forth the literary devotees-H A In ringing tones that regions far invade- To join thc earnest students cavalcade Marching on to capture high degrees. That urgent sound does oftentimes impart To loitering souls, a zeal that wit revives -- And we remember all as we depart. Can we forget while memory survives? Oh! Giithful Bell! Ilow sad each senior heart As now the hour of our farewell arrives! THE PLACE OF WHISPERS Have you heard of the place of whispers, XVhere silence forever reigns Save those ghostly, rustling, whispers, Like the drops upon the panes. There's a goddess in the palace of whispers She rules with an iron sway, But she cannot stop those whispers, Nor drive them all away. But you may hear those ghostly whispers 5 'Twill take but a moment to exploreg You may see tl1e place of whispers If you hut open the lilmrary door. - 23-l v

PROF. CHARLES W. HARGITT, PH. D. HE subject of tl1is sketch is a native of Indiana. Reared on the farm, 56 his early educational opportunities were such as the village schools of the time afforded. Later residence in Indianapolis afforded hiin the ex- cellent trainiug of the city high school, in which was done the chief work of preparing for college. He entered Moores Hill College with the class of '77, and though compelled to drop out occasionally to earn funds for further pros- ecution of his course, was yet able to carry forward the regular work, and .grad- uated with honors with his class. After graduation he was received into the South-east Indiana Conference, and for several years was engaged in pastoral work, devoting at the same time considerable attention to advanced studies in science. For the purpose of more thoroughly perfecting himself in these studies he became a resident graduate student in the Boston University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in the latter of which he was assistant in the biological laboratory. Later he also studied in the Indiana University and in the marine biological laboratory. 36
