She stated that strength might exist without grace, but that grace was found without strength.

W h en I considered the writing of an essay for this occasion the first of my troubles was the choosing of a subject, but the English department of this institution teaches that when one has an article to write he should choose a subject of which he knows something and for the writing of which he has some material to work So, acting upon the latter upon. suggestion, because of the amount of green material at hand I decided to write of the " F r e s h m a n ." he walks out upon W h en one enters a college he is prepared to a certain extent for the change which he experiences in leaving his home and going out into the world for perhaps the first time, to battle for himself. Still he finds many things which are new to him. W h en the campus for the first time and gazes with wonder at the new surround ings, upon the different laboratories and halls, he feels like a stranger in a strange land; yet he sees a great number of students, y o u ng men of his own age, going about their work wholly indifferent to their surround ings and especially to him. His first thoughts are: " T h is is to be my home for the next four years. Will I ever be like those fellows, will I ever feel at home among all these strange s u r r o u n d i n g s ?" He wonders that no one seems to be interested in him, that no one is glad to see him, and rejoices in the fact that henceforth he is to be one of the shining lights of this institution. He follows the crowd and at last learns that he has really attracted some attention. As he pauses to gaze in open mouthed wonder at some new and strange sight, he hears some one say, " W ho is that the s t e p s ?" fellow at the foot of Anxiously he waits for the answer, is some freshman; can't " O h! that tell by his a c t i o n s ?" you O h!

He looks at the fel low for a moment and silently re solves that some day he will show that man that although he may be a little green, he ean take care of him self and put to shame those w ho saw fit to call him fresh when he for a was a stranger and kindlier welcome. longed He goes on and soon meets a crowd of fellows coming joyously along the walk, glad that another term of school has opened and that they are back among the old boys again. As he approaches them someone calls out, " H e l l o! Fresh man! are you l o s t ?" He mistakes their jeer for a friendly offer of help and asks the way to the president's office. the T h ey direct him women's building and go on, leav ing him to find out to his sorrow that all friends are not real and that the way of is hard.

He sees in his imagin ation the father and mother seated at table resting after their day's work. At a little table by herself is seated his little sister getting the morrow's lessons. School opened today at home and he knows she is studying tonight, just as she used to when he was there. His chair at her table is empty,— at that • table where he wrestled with his problems in arithmetic and algebra. Someway it doesn't seem as though they would be so hateful if he were only home tonight. H ow long the day has been ! H ow long it seems since he left them that morning try ing to keep back the tears at this the first parting! He rests his head upon the table and feels again his mother's arms about him and hears her saying, " Be a good boy, Charlie, and some day we will all be proud of you." He feels his sister's geniie kiss upon his cheek and hears her strong loving words; his father's but tender clasp of the hand and his words of advice are with him again, and the tears that he fought back so manfully silently start trickle one by one down his and that cheek. Suddenly he realizes rises he is getting homesick; he with a resolute shake, dashes the tears fiom iiis eyes and dies 10 drive all thoughts of home from his mind. then, now But someway he cannot help feel ing lonesome He hears a shout from below and a hurrying of steps through the hallway and thinks he will go down and see what is going on. Snatching up his hat he runs down the stairs and out onto the campus. He sees a crowd of fellows rushing and scrambling about, all moving in the same direction. He hurries up to see what it all means, when he hears a familiar voice say i n g: " H e l l o, R u b e! Did you find Prexy's office?" A dozen hands seize him and he is dragged into the crowd. One of his captors he rec ognizes as the friend ( ?) w ho di rected him to the women's building. He struggles to free himself, but finds it useless and finally goes on quietly enough. He sees a score of the same other fellows led on way. He wonders what it all means and where they are going. T h ey proceed as quietly as possible, until they have crossed the bounda ries of the campus; then his captors begin singing. He begins to enjoy it and thinks it jolly sport.

Dr. Dodds showed that others might help us sow and we may help others sow, but no man can help us reap or we help another reap, for we must reap alone. T h en again, we must reap t he entire harvest which will be identical in kind with the seed sown and much greater in magnitude than sowing. O, be wise, young man, young woman, with God's assisting grace sow such seed as will give pleasure at the harvest time,— let us scatter seeds of kindness for our reaping bye and bye. to the reports of T he union meeting of the Y.

T h e re were one hundred and seven returned missionaries, many having returned that they might attend the convention.

He hap pens to be a young man who enjoys the situation and quickly responds to the call by singing, " You are way behind the times." T he next on the log is called upon for a dance, which he executes in true Comanche style. is the this listening Our freshman is third and next in line, and he wonders what he will to do. He never could be asked sing and has never tried to dance a jig. He has but a short time to con leader sider, however, before arises and says, " Gentlemen, we will now have the extreme pleasure of to the greatest living wonder of his kind, Norberg, the great Hindoo imitator and mimic in his specialty entitled ' F a m i l i ar noises on the farm.' He gives you a perfect imitation of the crowing of the fowls, the lowing of the cattle, and the neighing of the horses. In fact he imitates every living animal, too man or beast." N ow If they had only asked him much. to sing he might have g o t t en through " L i t t le Drops of Water," or " Go tell Aunt A b b y ." Or he might even have made a clumsy effort at a dance. But to be made sport of in this way is more than he can stand. His father's admonition to " be a m a n" comes back to him and he stoutly refuses to do anything of the kind announced. He is urged to go on with his specialty act, and is told that all Hindoos while in America must obey the Americans. He again refuses and is told that he must then take a Hindoo bath, which differs from a Turkish bath in that the bather has more servants to wait upon him. He is taken to the river and plunged into its not too warm waters. After repeated duckings he is allowed to resume his place upon the log, while the rest of the program is carried out. W h en each has contributed his part to the en tertainment, the party marches back to the college grounds and disperses. Our Freshman crawls up to his room, takes off his wet garments and retires for the night. He thinks it all over and sees where he has made his first mistake. O h! if he had only stayed in his room, how much he would have been saved! — the long walk, the humiliation, the ducking, and the dread of meeting the fellows the morning. All thoughts of home have been driven from his mind and he only wonders how he can ever face his tormentors again. Before going to sleep, he resolves that on all occasions, as tonight, he will carry out his father's advice and be a man; and the fel lows will learn that he is not there to amuse them, but can take care of himself. So he goes to sleep with this thought uppermost in his mind. And what does it all mean ? He has had his first introduction to col lege life. He has learned the great lesson that an individual is a very small part of an educational institu tion, especially when that individual in is a freshman; and his night's expe rience has made him stronger to meet the difficulties and problems which are to come. His T he freshman has his importance, not as a freshman, but as a student w ho is later to be one of the upper classmen. object should be to attain a position where he will be a good student in every sense of the word; and in order to be a good senior, he must first be a good fre>hman. greatest body with which ciated for four years. they have asso But we will not say that the re sponsibility of a freshman's welfare depends entirety upon the more ad It rests to a great vanced classmen. extent upon himself; first, to choose such an ideal as he would be proud to impersonate; next, to avoid such training characters last, to teaches him live such a life as will build a foun dation for an ideal manhood. early to shun; and as his In all branches of life or profes sions there must be a freshman class.

T h at picture of home which exerted such an influence over the student on his first night, that loving remembrance of mother and the careful heeding of father's ad vice is allowed to slip farther and farther from his mind until it is for gotten and lost entirely. And when the tie which binds a young man to his home and loved ones is severed, that man is in a deplorable condition. We see a man of rough exterior and depraved habits, but if that man's is touched by a thought of heart home there are some chances of his recovering his lost self-esteem and again rising to a position of respect and manhood. So I say, the fresh man who clings to the lessons learned that at home, clings to the thought they who watched over him so care fully in his youthful days are still hoping and praying for his success, is the student who is least liable to stray from the right. So many students who enter col lege are so young and entirely in experienced, and so easilv led away by gay companions that we cannot wonder at the number that are led the astray and never object for which they came; or if they do succeed as students, go out from school so changed morally that all trace of their early training is lost sight of. accomplish T h e re is a lesson to be learned the condition of these young from their students who are from under parents' control for time. the first Every y o u ng person has an ideal; per haps unconciously, but just as truly, there is some one whom he patterns after, and very naturally this ideal is chosen from among his companions and acquaintances. should choose his W h at is more natural then that a ideal freshman the among the upper classmen of is con institution with which he nected?
