SUSPENSE FOLLOWS
ATTACK BY POOCH
"The difference between a mad dog
and a mad-dog is only about two
weeks," says Mrs. Madden, but Kenneth
Prince has cause to think the,
difference between himself and a madhouse
is far less.
It was just this Wednesday that
Kenneth was met roaming the campus
with half mad eyes, and it was then
that he confided the fact that in two
days he would know whether the dog
which had bitten him two weeks ago
was mad or merely angry.
The accident happened on February
12 when, as Freshman Prince was delivering
papers, he was attacked by
a small vicious dog. He immediately
visited Mrs. Madden at the infirmary,
where he was informed that having no
direct proof that the dog was really
mad, the on!} thing to do was to wait
two weeks and find out. When Kenneth
was encountered Wednesday he said
that he had only two days left before
| he could find out whether he was going
mad or merely crazy.
U. s. c.
Dr. Babcock (to his'wife) : "How did
you like my speech? Did I put enough
fire into it?"
Small Huck (from a far corner):
aw, pop. The trouble was you didn't
put enough of your speech into the fire."
Newsboy: "Five cents, mister."
Stude: "But it's marked two cents."
Boy: "Yeh, but you don't want to believe
everything you see in the papers
mister."

SPELLING TOPIC
OF DAVIS TALK
BROADCAST OVER WIS
Alma Mater Record, Miller Simpson,
and William Boozer
Furnish Music *
""'We all misspell?and howl" was the
opening sentence of an amusing and instructive
talk delivered by Professor H.
C. Davis during the University hour
Wednesday. The subject was "How We
Misspell."
Professor Davis declared that students
could not be culled like peaches, but individual
spelling problems must be dealt
with separately. He explained that some
were different, others indifferent and a
great many indignant, as the boy who
wanted to know what p-l-e-s-h-u-r-e
spelled if not pleasure. He also cited several
others words commonly erroneously
constructed.
"If a student spells three out of four
words correctly, he gets a passing grade,
but how would a stenographer fare if
, she made even an occasional mistake;
| or suppose a car sometimes missed on
one cylinder, or there was an occasional
fly in the boss's milk."
"Cylinder" reminded Dr. Davis of the
four hundred words that freshmen must
learn to spell in English, among them
such triple-threats as syllable, cynosure
and cynical. He said he showed the list
to a business acquaintance recently who
declared he did not know there were so
many disagreeable words in the dictionary.
The professor spoke entertainingly
about the good old days when spelling
was a game before they took all the fun
out of it by making it too scientific. He
mentioned the difference in the division
of spelling of the present day compared
with the halcyon period of the Blue Back
speller.
Professor Davis stated that there was
as much difficulty in revising the spelling
methods ordained by custom and
usage as there was in changing the metric
system. However, he declared that
the rapidity of scientific development in
lines gave hope of the time when spelling
will be a matter of phonetics. It is a
job for lexicographers and librarians to
inaugurate any radical improvements. In
conclusion Dr. Davis remarked that each
should bring his peculiar talents to bear
on his individual orthographic difficulties.
The program was begun by a transcription
of the Alma Mater as recorded
by the glee club on its recent trip to
Chicago. It was concluded by piano selections
by Miller Simpson and a group of
songs by three German composers, sung
by William Boozer, who was accompanied
by Mr. Simpson.

Ministry As A
Explainei
Dr. Hugh R. Murchison, chaplain and
professor of Bible at the University, addressed
the freshman class Wednesday
on the subject, "The Opportunities Afforded
The Ministry." This lecture was
one of the series of vocational talks
being presented in the freshman chapel
period each Wednesday.
"Do not enter the ministry as a profession.
The candidate for the ministry
must feel a strong spiritual urge." Dr.
Murchison advised.
A candidate must also receive the
approval of his own church before entering
a seminary. He must apply to the
heads of his church and receive their
( approbation. The prospective minister
, must also be accepted by the people.
The qualities necessary for the minis'
try are piety, sincerity, truth, and rigl>teousness.
The candidate must be a godly
man, a good man with hypocrisy or de,
ception. He must have had some spiritual
experience.
"He must be a man of intellect, a
thinker,T said Dr. Murchison. VThis
is even more true today than it was in
the past. He must think as well, and even
a little ahead of the average man."
The candidate must have at least an
A.B. degree. He must know something
of all the sciences, physical and social.
He must know history.
After attending college he must study
at a seminary for three years. Here he
must learn to read the Old Testament
in Hebrew and the New in Greek. He
must have a clear knowledge of the history
of the church and of all the religions
of the world. He must learn to
be an interpreter of language so that he
may tell it to the congregation.
He must learn the preparation and delivery
of the various types of sermons.
The minister's life is the fullest life.
He must prepare and deliver two or
