Everybody seem ed to be wishing everybody else a happy New Year and no "crapping out," and every fellow was wishing for himself "the same, thank you." A few boys are missing because the road got too rought and the load became too heavy, but others are expected to take their places. Prof. W. K. Sligh gave the students a strong and timely piece of counsel at the opening exercises. He stressed manliness; said it was manlier to fail walking, than to get there "riding a pony." Prof. Sligh taught in the col lege for fifteen years, having had chiarge of "prep." for four years, and spending the balance of his term of service in the Greek and mathmatical departments. His address was very pm1actical as well as eloquent, and the audience applauded him liberally when he finished. The col-lege is looking forward to a bright and prosperous New Year. Preparations are being made now for the proper celebration of Foundeirs' day on February 3. It will be an oc casion worthy of the memory of the fathers and founders of the institu tion. Not- everybody can sing with the temperature down to 27 degrees, but the crowd gathered in front of Hol land Hall the other night, and sang as lustily as if it were "a summer's night." Well, it 'may be winter else where, but it's spring time at the col lege every*day. t makes you forget it's freezing When you hear: "Kala, kala! kala, kala! Sis, boom, bah!
