Wis., 111., la., N. Y., and Pa., were mentioned as doing interesting and valuable experimental work which is the principal source of information. T he following officers were elect ed for the spring term : President, C. A. W i l s o n; Vice-President, A. A. T o w n e r; Secretary, E. A. Will- son ; Treasurer, R. G.

Silcox was given Sunday afternoon, and despite the unfavor able weather a goodly number were present. M r. Silcox chose for his text, "Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sow- that shall he also reap." He eth stated that the laws governing the moral and physical world were just as true when applied to the spiritual world, and his arguments support ing this truth were very conclusive, and held the attention of the audi ence throughout the discourse. He said that a prison was a consequence —so was hell a consequence—a re sult brought about by one's own actions, and not something brought upon us by God himself. It is as impossible to reap good fruit from wicked deeds as it is to g r ow peach trees from acorns. T he music, which was greatly enjoyed, was furnished by the chor us, under the direction of Miss Frey- hofer, and by Mr. and M r s. Carl Smith, of Lansing. clearing T he rains on F r i d ay evening just the snow about finished away so that we may now expect reasonably dry walks for a time.

V an Sant Ex-Governor at Battle Creek of Minnesota has been staying at the Sanitarium for several weeks. His wife and he have been table-mates with M r s. C. D. Smith. On several occasions the Governor expressed a keen desire to visit the college. It was arranged that he should come here on March 15.- On his arrival he was given an opportunity to test a sample dinner of Club C and, at the same time, note the appearance of Michigan women at their best. He used both his eating facilities and his eyes and reported without solicitation that the dinner was the best he had eaten in the state. As to the girls he gave them the highest compliment by saying that they locked and behaved just like a crowd of Minnesota University women. taken After dinner he was in hand by the president and secretary w ho showed him about the campus and buildings. He next visited the calling on Capitol where, after Governor W a r n e r, he was given a most enthusiastic reception at a joint session of the House and Senate which he addressed. T he welcome accorded him by the legislature was unique in its enthusiasm. As he took the train for Battle Creek he remarked that this had been a red letter day for him and one he should never forget. He spoke enthusiastically of the College and station, and hoped that in his somewhat flattering allusion to the institution in his address before the legislature that he had done us no harm.

T he class rush is now a thing of the past, both classes having gone about their daily tasks seemingly with the thought that the matter is settled. T he place chosen for the contest was on the drill ground just west of the A r m o r y. T he whole affair was in charge of Director Brewer and committees of the upper classes. An agreement was made with the two class presidents where b y ' t wo goal lines 150 feet apart were laid out, midway between which was placed a large piece of canvass. T en men from each side were given forces the opposing the canvas, signal lined up, and at a given tried toward the canvas their own goal line. force to T w e n ty minutes were to be al lowed for the contest, at which time the distance gained by either class was to be measured and the decision given. At the end of twenty min utes it was found that the Sopho mores had gained about 22 feet, thus giving the coveted canvas which will no doubt be retained as a trophy. them Before beginning the contest each class marshalled its forces, marched around the campus and by speeches and class yells aroused much enthu siasm. Nick P r a k k en seemed to be the chief speaker for the sophomores the affair spoke and at the close of terms of the strength in glowing and valor of the class of '07 and predicted great things for them in the future. Both classes were put upon their honor before going into the rush and agreed that this con test should settle the matter of class it with a rivalry. All went into friendly spirit and all seemed to enjoy the exercise which it afforded. Director Brewer had the affair well in hand and when there was danger of injury to any one he would stop them and compel them take a start. Both classes obeyed new signals promptly and no injuries of any consequence resulted. About 250 men participated, the younger men on each side, as well as those w h om it seemed best to debar from the contest, being taken out at the beginning. to FINAL DEBATE. Messrs. enjoyed.
