f rmciu of (Ihr Ufar THE year which has elapsed since the last issue of the Prisw has been remarkable in many respects. Ii has been the first under the leadership of the new President, Dr. Clarence Cook Little. With the beginning of the second half century of Maine ' s existence, her affairs have taken a new lease of life. A new and better spirit has shown itself both among the undergraduates and the alumni. Prom the celebration of the fiftieth commencement to the over- subscription nf the student part of the memorial fund drive, the year has been a success. The last few weeks of the spring of [922 were filled with activities in all lines. Maine ' - new President was inaugurated on May to. The ceremony took place in the oval before Alumni Hall with such a setting as can l e found only on the Maine Campus upon an ideal spring day. The -late track meet was held at Colby on the following Saturday. The date, May 13. prosed to be an unlucky one fur our athlete-, and Bowdoin romped away with first place honors. Mean while our baseball team was rapidly rounding into shape under the capable coaching of Wilkie Clark. After making a decidedly favorable showing on its out-of-state trip, the team came hack and won five out of -ix state series game-, tieing Bowdoin for the slate championship. The commencement of [922 was the fiftieth in the history of the institution. At commencement time a pagean l was staged showing various phases of college life, as they are now and a- they were in the early day- of the institution. It i- not exaggerating to -av that the pageant was the mosl brilliant spectacle of it - kind ever seen in this state. Summer school followed the close of the school year. and. at this 1922 session, tin- enrollment was record breaking. Mosl of Maine ' s sons and daugh- ter- -pent the summer in other line- f activity, and it was not until September [2 that they gathered again to take up the work of a new college year. Everyone felt the new vigor and renewed spirit in the air. The class of ' ( experienced it when the M. C. A. extended the glad hand at the freshman recep- tion. Maine ' - athlete- seemed to feel it keenest of all. It was a cleanup season in football and cross country. During the whole season the football team lost only two game-. These hard fought battles were with University of Vermont and Dartmouth. Connecticut Aggie-. Norwich, and New Hampshire State all bowed to the team coached b) Fred Brice and Cuddy Murphy. Then came the -late series. The -tale championship w-as annexed in (me. two, three order. The game -core- were: Bates, [9-6; Colby, i| ; Bowdoin, 70
