CONCERNING EVANGELISTS.
Rev. E. S. Stucker Discussed True Evenagelists Last Saturday.
Rev. E. S. Stucker, an evangelist, addressed the ministerial association Saturday ar e noon on "Evangelism From the Evangelist's Viewpoint."
"Every god thing," said he, "has its extremes, and the extremes of evangelism are no · evangelism, and an evangelism tbat is worse
than none. The latter drives people."
Rev. Stucker believes tbat the country can be. overevangelized: "There is a real danger," he says, "in the professional evangelist, that is, the evangelist who labors for the crowd and the money. He attains
success at the cost of the failure of many, and the result is that the peo- ple all over our country have come to believe that the Lord Jesus' spirit is shut up to some few evangelists." He says that there are two schools of evangelists, the sincere Biblical evangelist, and unspiritual and sen- sational. Mr. Torrey was cited as the most conspicuous exponent of the former as opposed to "Billy" Sunday, of the latter.

COACH WANN WILL LEAVE OT- TAWA UNIVERSITY JANUARY 4
Continued from page 1.
semi-professional baseball teams,
playing one season on the Indiana State Hospital team, which was one of the fastest near Chicago.
Ottawa students and down town people are sorry to see Wann leave as they all like him. He is a hustler and generally anything that he pushes goes through. During his two years' stay here he has helped instill a col- lege spirit into the students that had not existed before. When Wann said "We're all going to Baldwin," every- body went.
During his stay here he had elec- tric lights installed in the Gym so that it was decently lighted for basketball. He also had seats erected in the Gym, and bleachers put on the ath- letic field. These had been sadly needed before. Coach Wann saw that they were needed and went to work and raised the money and superin- tended the erection of them. Prob- ably the greatest thing done during Mr. Wann's stay here, and a thing which he urged, was the establish- ment of a student enterprise fee. This has put athletics on a firm financial basis. These are a few of the things which he has helped accomplish for Ottawa and he has stamped himself as a pusher of student enterprises, and an exponent of clean, hardy ath- letics.
Ottawa students hope that if Mr. Wann engages himself as a coach elsewhere it will be in the Missouri Valley. Athletic relations with any school of which he is athletic direc- tor, it is felt, will be pleasant. The college which engages him as coach and athletic director, should he de- cide to accept an offer of this kind, will be getting an able man.
The College of Emporia, Emporia, has just completed its campaign for $50,000 endowment.

hn Wilson '09 Writes of The Cam. pus and Other Things.
Manager Martin, of the Campus, re- ived this week an interesting let- r from John A. Wilson '09, of the partment of science, Ely, Minne- ta, high school. Some of the things id concerning Ottawa's activities, hich Mr. Wilson will always have a g interest in, are worth reading by 1. Mr. Wilson says in part: "I read e paper with much interest. Tues- y is always looked forward to with uch interest, as I am always sure receive all the college news then. don't want the Campus cut down. eep it going if possible. Of the llege papers I see none here that cel it. Mr. Floyd's remarks inter- st me. I, too, would like to hear om the alumni. My deepest interest in all the affairs of the college.

"The manager of high school ath- tics here is a Wisconsin University ban, who is our principal. The head pach is a Mr. Hotchkiss, of Earlham ollege, a personal friend of Coach ann. He was there an all-around. hlete and played some of the games ith Wann. My duty to athletics is o hustle tennis, and lead the band t games.

THE KICKS AND THE PRICKS.
Joy fills the Baker camp since her old rival, Ottawa, has been defeated in battle .- Wesleyan Advance. Salina.
College Life received three copies of the Ottawa Campus this week. We wonder if this was intended as a sly piece of wit -College Life, Emporia.
Baker University and Ottawa Col- lege are indulging in a "rumpus" over the Baker victory on October 29. We suggest that they toss up two bits and let that settle it .- Collegian Re- porter, Morningside, Ia.
The Ottawa Campus prints an edi- torial, "Mistakes in College Papers." It seems that the gramatical errors and faulty editing found in some of the exchanges grate so unpleasantly upon the nerves of the editor that he must give vent to his disgust in this abrupt manner. Now watch some of the papers attacked come back with a vengeance when they get a chance. -Bethany Messenger, Lindsborg.
The sarcastic criticism in a recent issue of the Ottawa Campus of the errors in other college papers seems to us considerably out of place in the editorial columns. It might not have been quite so bad in the exchange de- partment, but even considering the ar- ticle itself, it appears a little too much in the spirit of fault-finding rather than of friendly criticism. Of course there are errors in the college papers (the Campus included) but none of them claim to be perfect examples of the journalistic art .- Southwestern Collegian, Winfield.
The Ottawa Campus says that the Denisonian "always runs a long col- umn devoted to alumni." They might have added that its value increases as its length for there is no department of a school paper in the conduct of which the great number of non-resi- dent readers are more interested than in that devoted to the doings of the people with whom they climbed Col- lege Hill .- Denisonian, Granville, O. We missed Ottawa Campus this week .- University Life, Wichita.
The Ottawa Campus is a really live paper. It criticises a good deal and often invites criticism by its typo- graphical errors and misspelled words .- The Midland. Atchison.
The Ottawa Campus prints a report of the meeting of college presidents held at Topeka. Mention is also made of the suggestion that a "Missouri Valley College Association' be organ-
ized which should have for its p pose the standardization and muti co-operation of the schools belongi to it .- Baker Orange.
The Student's Influence.
Prof. R. A. Schwegler, a form professer at Ottawa, addressed t K. U chapel several days ago on t impressions made on a student by ] fellows.

JOHN SHIELDS, OTTAWA'S ORATOR AT WICHITA
HE
WON LOCAL ORATORICAL
LAST NIGHT
WITH SEVEN FIRSTS.
Charles Battin Won Second and Sil ver Medal-Mr. Shields Has a Good Record.
John A. Shields, of Holton, a mem- er of the Freshman class, will repre- ent Ottawa university in the annual nter-Collegiate oratorical contest at Wichita, next March. Mr. Shields got his honor, and the gold medal by vinning first place in the local con- est held in the chapel last night. Charles Battin, of Oberlin, also a nember of the Freshman class, won econd place and the silver medal. Marcus Clemmons, a sophomore, was anked third, and Albert Miller,
a reshman, was ranked fourth. It is an nteresting fact that Mr. Miller was anked second in delivery by the udges.
The contest was begun a few min- tes after 8:30 o'clock, following a asketball game in the gymnasium. ne of the best crowds out to a local ontest comfortably filled the chapel. "he program, though somewhat long, ras interesting. Excellent musical umbers were given. Each oration as well worked out, and delivered 1th confidence. The delivery show- d the results of careful coaching by Iiss Caroline Medders. Prof. E. R. Ticholls helped the orators smooth ut the diction.
The judges on delivery were: Hon ohn Quin, '02, attorney-at-law; Hon. . S. Jenks, attorney-at-law; Rev. W.
Jordan, pastor of the First Con- regational church. All are from Ot- awa. Owing to the fact that the date f holding the contest was changed "cm next Wednesday evening to last ight, because of the holiday granted y the faculty, the oratorical com- mittee was obliged to get the above idges on short notice. The judges' ecisions were very satisfactory. Mr. uinn represented Ottawa in the state ontest in 1902, cieing for first place.
The program in detail: Piano solo, Grace Daniel; oration, "David," Albert Miller; oration, "The American Ne- gro," Charles Battin; vocal solo, Fran- ces Allen; oration, "Disarmament, the Guaranty of P. ace," Marcus Clem mons; oration, "Lincoln, the Master Politician," John A. Shields; music, mandolin club; announcement of re- sults; awarding of medals. Ray Heri tage, president of the Student Council was chairman.
Mr. Shields is the first freshman in recent years to win the local contest and his is perhaps the first honor of having received seven, out of eight, firsts by the judges.
Mr. Shields' Record.
Mr. Shields has had considerable experience in public speaking. While pursuing his academic course at Campbell college, Holton, Kansas, he twice represented the Webster lit- erary society in the annual inter-so- ciety debate, and represented the college once in the state prohibition oratorical contest, taking second place and once in a debate with Nebraska State Normal, being awarded first hon- or. While finishing his preparatory work in Chicago he won the state pro- hibition oratorical contest, at Wichita, Kansas While a law student at the university of Minnesota he took an interest in debating, doing some credi- table work in this line. He was award- ed an honor in the inter-scholastic, or Dunwoody, contest at the university, represented his school in the state prohibition contest and the state of Minnesota in the inter-state contest, held at Waco, Texas, in 1907.
Mr. Shields comes from Minneapo- lis, Minnesota, where he is assistant state secretary of the prohibition state committee, and superintendent of the young men's prohibition move- ment, during the summers being in charge of from 75 to 100 field men. In this work he has done much public speaking and debating, being one of the most effective campaigners in the state. During the school year of 08- 09 he was traveling secretary of the Intercollegiate Prohibition Associa- tion, his territory covering fifteen (Continued to page 4)
THE FRESHMEN PLEDGED $2,027 FOR A NEW GYM
STUDENT MOVEMENT STARTED FOR A NEW BUILDING WITH- IN FIVE YEARS.
A Small Enthusiasm Meeting Develop- ed a Big Movement After Ora- torical Contest Last Night.
Ottawa university will have a new gymnasium inside of five years, if every student in the college gets back of a movement started by the Fresh- man class last night. .
At an oyster supper given down town following the oratorical contest, the members of the class pledged themselves to raise $2,027 for a new gymnasium and started a campaign to get the building within five years. The move was in part the outgrowth of a booster movement in Ottawa, pushed by George B. Irving, of Chica- go, and in part the result of the en- thusiasm of the classmen over the winning of the two first places in the contest by freshmen. Mr. Irving ad- dressed the class, following his town meeting. "You are winners. ; Start something for a new gymnasium. I'll give two dollars," he said. There were cries of fives and tens from all over the room.
Then John Shields, Ottawa's orator arose, "I will be one of 10 to pledge my- self to raise $100 each," he said. Soon nine more had joined him; then six- tenn pledged $50 each, and the re- mainder $25 each. There were about 41 classmen present.
Mr. Shields agreed to present the matter to the student body at chapel this morning, and it was expected that there would be some kind of demox- stration.
Mr. Irving gave a chapel talk yes- terday morning, in which he said he was going to start a movement for a new Science hall, and a new gymna- sium for Ottawa university. These are two of Ottawa's needs as he sees them.

THE "OTTAWAN '10" TO BE A WINNING ANNUAL
HARRY GEORGE, EDITOR, GEORGE STANNARD, BUSINESS MANA- GER, OF THE BOOK.
Some Ideas New to Ottawa Annuals Are Promised-The Engraving Contract Let.
A general surprise was given the college this week when it became known that considerable progress had been made on this year's annual, the Ottawan '10. Though the entire staff has just been selected, Editor George and several others of the class have worked all year on preparation of some of the material for the book.
Bids were received this week, the staff chosen, and other work done in- cidental to getting out the book. It is promised that the annual will cost more, will be at least as large as last year, 225 pages, and will have car- ried out some new ideas never before introduced into Ottawa University an- nuals.
The staff follows: Harry V. George, Editor-in-Chief. George Stannard, Business Manager. Irene Henderson, Associate Editor. Glenn Brown, Associate Manager. Glea Stallard, Historical.
Margaret Rice, Faculty.
William Chappel, William Nelson, Humor.
Ralph Hanes, Artist.
Laura Wood, Oratory and Debate.
Leslie Haynes, Athletic.
Every member of the class, except one, is a member of the staff. Ralph Hanes, as an artist, had considerable of a reputation in the Ottawa High school. He is not in college this year.
Each class was notified this week that January 20th is the date for re- turn of class write-ups. The commit- tees were appointed by most of the classes this week, in order that they might be at work during the holidays.
The engraving contract has been let to the Bureau of Engraving of Minneapolis and Kansas City. Both the work and the pictures are expect- ed to be exceptionally good in this annual. Messrs. Stannard, George and other members of the junior class. have procured already some excellent pictures of student life.
The question of a new gymnasium large number of college students have for Kansas Wesleyan University, Sa- lina, is being agitated.
ANNUAL ACADEMIC DEBATE.
This Contest to Be Held in the Chapel This Evening.
The annual academic inter-society debate will be held this evening in the chapel. The question, Resolv- ed, That it is inexpedient for the United States to enter into competi- tion with 'the world powers in their present policy of naval expansion, will be discussed. The Philal debaters, Fred Martin and Sam Marsh, with Mr. Marsh conducting the rebuttal, will defend the affirmative; the Olympian team, Carl Welch and Miss Goldina Hall, with Mr. Welch in charge of the rebuttal, will argue the negative. Her- bert Christensen, Miss Ethel Graves, from the Olympian society; Herbert Morse, Earl Brannon, from the Philal society, were endeavoring to get judges.
The debate will undoubtedly be in- teresting and should draw a good at- tendance.
NO TRIANGULAR DEBATE.
A Three-Year Clause Killed a Pro- posed Contract.
As a result of the meeting at Em- poria between President Platt, of Southwestern, Ben Rice, of College of Emporia, and Ray Heritage, of Ot- tawa University, a triangular debate contract for three years was drawn up and signed by Messrs. Platt and Rice. On presentation of the mat- ter to the Ottawa Student Council Tuesday night, decision was made not to enter itno the three-year arrange- ment. Mr. Heritage is in correspond- ence with both schools, and with two others, trying to arrange a single de- batė for this year.
