Ef iulllli li a The pleasant recapitulation of the events of l9ll-l9l2- the University year just drawing to a closegmust perforce be headed by the Convocation held on the Zlst of September. lt was the birthday of a new regime-the bugle call to a review of the old forces, and formation of the new. ln spirit it was a melting pot. Thither came the bellowing, belligerent engi- neer, and the law student. with blinking eyes and mouth one yawning chasm. Here thundered the half league boot of the stalwart farmer, and here shone the sleek self-satisfied smirk of the ubiquitous academic. And with the hrst hymn, arose these non-adhesive little atoms, all unitedly wailing forth, but each to the tune of his own individual entity. But with the coming of that intangible spirit which marked the service. came an inexplicable transformation over the mass of atoms. Yon primitive engineer seemed almost medievally cultured. the farmer ceased to gaze, and began to listen. the law student closed the chasm, rubbed his eyes, and turned over. Even the frosty nosed little faculty assistants sprinkled through the throng. lost the nipped look, and began to thaw.

For there was in the atmosphere that which seemed to subordinate departments, colleges, and callings, and to embrace and unify all phases and factions. lt was a con- voeation.+a calling together.-an amalgamation service. .Nnd with this unification were established the permanent reciprocal relations between the new leader and the students. Here was first recognized the invigorating and inspiring per- sonality which was to reinforce the love and loyalty for the old regime and to summon for the new a spirit of enthusiasm and co-operation. It was a service full of promises, which have been realized day by day, month by month, of the new year. lfresh impetus has been given on every side. New notes of interest have been sounded and new life awakened. .-Xnd manifestations of this spirit. not Ending their confines within the boundaries of the campus, are making of themselves live factors throughout the state. The University is teeming with life and vigor, pregnant with greater possibilities for develop- ment and service and glorious in the realities of achievement.
