RISM Intieui of t t cat THE year ending with the publication of this Prisni will long be remem- bered as one that may well be called the most unicjue, and possibly the greatest in the history of the University of Maine. Never in one college year has there been so many customs changed, amended, or created as during the present, and in nearly every case Maine has benefited by them. Even more important the University of Maine has come to occupy a new position with the citizens of the Pine Tree State as was shown bv the nearly unanimous support of the legislature, after a long hard fight had finally brought the needs of Maine home to the people. The spring of 1920 found the first post-bellum year of the college draw- ing to a close, with all the old time spirit of Junior Week, Coiumencement, and spring athletics. The track teaiu under Capt. Pratt journeyed to Lewiston May 15, and gave Bowdoin a close rub for first honors, but the injuries that had been received from arrearages proved fatal in the final count. Capt. Pratt and Parent of Bowdoin divided honors as high point men, each scoring 16 points. Previous to this in Eebruary Capt. Castle had led the Blue rela}- team in a sensational victory over Tufts ' team in the B. A. A. games. The time of the Maine team was bettered only by M. I. T. Monte Cross did his usual good work with the baseball team which was captained by Burleigh Waterman. The boys had a rather bad start in the early part of the season bm came across strong in the State Series games. Capt. Waterman ' s home runs were the feature of nearly every game. September found Maine ' s sons and daughters again singing out the happy Maine Hello. ILverything seemed booming as one returned for another year ' s work. Cross country and football practice had conuuenced a week early, and the M. C. A. was more than on the jol) giving the glad hand to the newly arrived class of ' 24. The two principal subjects of conversation were the joy of volun- tarv chapel attendance and what was to become of the newly acquired freshmen, now that all forms of discipline were to be a thing of the past. But as the year has progressed the first sul)ject has become the jjrobleiu, and the latter has taken care of itself to (piite a little e.xteiU. The traditional class scraps still remain but the objeclional features have gone, and remain only as stories for the old timers to tell. The unanimous opinion of the studeiU body at preseiU is that compulsory chapel is necessary to the life of Maine and no doubt by ni-. t fall, it will again be established in some form. 8
