One idea is to have on;y eight classes on the campus and to have these taught by some of the professors instead of student leaders. The committee will also consider the idea of conducting the class es on a plan similar tc, that of the Bible classes. Two courses that will be suggested among others are courses on "The Far East" and a s:udy of the great religions of the world comparing them with the Christian religion. If the latter is car ried out it is probabie that Dr. Soper's Book will be used and that Dr. Soper himself will be asked to come to the University and give a preliminary lecture on comparative religions.

The last Friday before the holi (lays was a great send-off. Johnnie made a great Santa even if he did carry ot his usual plan of trying to give every thing to the girls and leave the boys out. But one little fellow straightened John nie out. He k'iew that Santa ought to recognized boys as well as girls, so he reminded Pate of the fact very vocif erously. Flinn Hall was filled wi"h children. ranging, from two years on up. Some were ragged, some were not. Some had clean faces and some didn't. Some had candy all over their faces when they left and some were hugging the bag of candy close to carry some back to "Muvver" or sister at home. Some were scared when they arrived and one or two had to have the special attention of a nurse as they "wanted to go home." Scared of Santa One little fellow was scared to death of Santa Claus. He had never seen any thing like that before in this (lay of beardless men. Santa finally won him over with a stick of red candy. But one thing was certain. Every one of them, ragged or not, clean or dirty, girl or boy, was as happy as could be when htey were bundled in the cars to be taken home when Santa had rummaged the bottom of his bag and had stripped the tree. TIhere wvas no program. Who wanted to lis en to a long program wvhen Santa was in the offing. Cars called for the children Thursday and told them to be readly Friday early. And then the same cars called in Tijn Can Alley, Pall Mall street andl a number of other places that miost of us don't knowv are in town. Tfhey went to the homes of a group omf p)eople whom good fortune had passed by this year, andl brought the children up to Flinni Hall. Santa was a little embarrassedl when a boy from T1honmpson Street showed up whose nanie was not on the list for Flinn Hall. Thle younster said that San ta left his presents there last year and told him to conme back this year, and here he was even though lhe had wvalked fromi the olher sidle of town. Butt Santa had had that kind of exp)erience before andl finally found a stocking for the lit tle fellow somewhere in the bottom of his bag.
