Hiss address throughout was very trong and masterful, and was an ear- iest plea for a practical faith in God is a working hypothesis of life.

Dr. Harlan based his discussion ipon three texts: "Man shall not live )y bread alone; "I will lift up mine yes to the hills whence cometh my help," and "O, God, thou art my rock earnestly will I seek thee."

He sounded a hopeful note by say- ng that our present school system is ausing men and women to live pur- posefully. The three great interests of the human life he defined as the cultural, the social and the religious, ind urged the development of urban- Ity of character- the ability to meet all men of all classes and converse with them and treat them as equals. - ! f

Religion, he said, is necessary to complete and give tone to a man's ife. The optimism of the modern world is born of the conviction that I God is with us, and will not forsake Sis. The power to use the knowledge s of God is religion. It is not necessary

o tie up to any dogmatism of creed,

e neither need the modern scientific pirit cause any one to lose an abid- 1- ng trust in the actual presence of the 1.

iving God.

The special musical features of the exercises were a Te Deum by a quar- ette composed of Mrs. Bixel, Miss Frances Allen, Mr. Chas. Bachman, und Prof. J. W. Bixel, and an anthem 'The Heavens Resound," by the chorus choir.

SENIOR Y. M. MEETING.

A Farewell Service to Be Held To- morrow Morning.

The Y. M. C. A. meeting last Sun- day morning was led by Prof. W. S. Gordis. Although but few were in attendance because of the rainy mor- ning, the meeting was a most profit- able one. In his address the leader discussed the aims and ideals of the Young Men's Christian Association, after which some practical ways were discussed wherein the work of the local association for the coming year can be improved over that of the cur- rent year.

The meeting tomorrow morning will be in charge of the Senior boys, and will be somewhat in the nature of a farewell service. This will be the last meeting of the year, and a good attendance is especially de- sired.

WAITED FOR ORATORY NEWS,

Wichita Delegation Was Anxious for Inter-State Results.

The members of the delegation that went to Wichita, gathered Friday night after Miss Gassaway's recital to wait for news from the inter-state oratorical contest. The time was spent in playing games. During the evening light refreshments were served. The telegram announcing the result of the contest was delayed, but the crowd remained faithful and it was just breaking day when the mer- rymakers started home.

CHAS. O. HARDY '04 CHOSEN FOR CHAIR OF HISTORY

HE WILL FILL THE VACANCY CAUSED BY RESIGNATION OF DR. ROLVIX A. HARLAN.

Hugh P. Kean, of Ripon, Wis., Takes "Pure" Mathematics, Filling Va- cancy Left by Prof. Rosson.

At a meeting of the executive board of the trustees last Wednesday Chas. O. Hardy was selected for the professorship of history and econom- ics and Hugh P. Kean for the profes- sorship of mathematics, thus filling the faculty occasioned by the resig- nations of Dr. Harlan and Prof. Ros- son, respectively. Both of these men are experienced instructors, and were chosen in preference to about forty other applicants

Chas. O. Hardy graduated from O. U. in 1904, and later spent two years in the University of Chicago special- izing in history and kindred subjects. He taught two years in the Hiawatha Academy at Hiawatha, Kansas and during the following year and a half was in the employ of the government at Washington, D. C. Last year he did some research work at Cornell.

At present he is working for his Doctor's degree at the University of Chicago. He is a son of Dr. Hardy of this .city and a brother of Cleo Hardy, ex. '08, stenographer to Sen- ator Bristow. He married Miss Myra Moore, of the class of '04.

Hugh P. Kean, of Ripon, Wisconsin, graduated from Albion College, Mich., in 1906. He took his Master's degree at the University of Illinois in 1909. For the past three years he has been teaching there, a part of which time he has had entire charge of the ob- servatory. He is unmarried.

It was decided to divide mathema- matics into pure and applied. Prof. Kean will teach the pure mathe- matics and Prof. Shirk the applied.

As announced some time ago Dr. Harlan goes to Kansas City to take the pastorate of the Central Baptist church. Prof. Rosson will go to New Mexico or Arizona for the benefit of his health.

From an Ottawa paper: My dear Adviser: My daughter has two regu- lar young men whom I do not like. One lives in the city, he is a demo- crat; the other lives in the country, and is no better. How can I make her give them up-Anxious Mother. Take your daughter on a long trip, then place her in Baker university.

Entered at the postoffice at Otta- wa, Kansas, Sept. 18, 1908, as second class matter.

It is learned that nothing further has been hard from Washburn college and Bethany college concerning the pro- posed triangular debate contract for next year with Ottawa. Ottawa is very anxious to enter into an agree- ment with these colleges, but has op- portunities to make other debate con- tracts. It is to be hoped that the tri- angular plan may carry.

The glad hand of welcome is wati- ing for all the alumni and friends who are planning to attend the com- mencement exercises

week after next. Visitors will find the latch string always hanging on the outside. If there is anybody who doubts that Ottawa will give the visitors a royal welcome commencement week, they are especially invited to come and see. Thre will be something doing all the time, and many of the old "grads" will be back. Will you be among the alumni and friends?

The University baseball team has made one of the most brilliant rec- ords ever made by an athletic team at Ottawa University. Ottawa stu- dents and alumni have a right to en- thusiastic pride in the records made by the football and the basketball teams, but the members of the base-

ball team are especially the lions of the hour. Ottawa is sorry to lose Frank Price and'Oscar Coe, who have been main stays on all the athletic teams here, but there is a consoling thought in the knowledge that prac- tically all of the members of all the teams will be back here next fall ex- cept these two.

The day of reckoning will soon be here. The judgment time approaches but everybody is warned right now that the Campus is not going to pre- dict the dawning of the millenium. Next week will be examination time for everybody in the college except the seniors, who have been through the ."mill." Many will be the regrets, many the resolves, to study harder next year, but none of these will avail in the answer to the St. Peter who holds the keys to the registrar's books. St. Peter's clerks, the profes- sors, will not allow resolves or re- grets to "pass" any student this time, It is a little late in the day, but isn't it about time to get to work?

FOR CAMPUS QUARTET.

They Were Entertained After the Concert Thursday Evening. Misses Ruth Larson, Margaret Rice, Alma Grass and Elsie Dietrich were hostesses Thursday evening at a most delightful affair given at

Charlton Cottage for the Campus quartet and their assistants. A merry time was spent with original guess- ing games that included several amusing incidents relative to the quartet's recent trips. A two-course pink and white lunch was served in the dining room. A large bunch of pink paeonies adorned the center of the table. Place cards were pen sketches of the musicians. The

guests were Misses Hallie Gasaway, Grace Daniel, Ruth Simpson, Messrs. William Lusk, Oscar Coe, Roe Bar- rett, Frank Jennings, Elmer Martin, Charles Bachman, and Prof. Nichols.

TO WRITE BAPTIST HISTORY.

Rev. Levi Holt '71, May Come to Ot- tawa Within a few Months.

Rev. Levi H. Holt, who recently preached at theNorth Ottawa Baptist church while visiting relatives in Ot- tawa, may come to Ottawa, taking the pastorate of the North Ottawa church, and at the same time putting in part of his time writing a history of the Baptist denomination in Kan- sas. Rev. Mr. Holt is a graduate of Ottawa University. Concerning the proposal to get Rev. Holt to come to

Ottawa, the Republic said recently:

In order that he may have ready access to the Ottawa University library and records in order to write a history of the Baptists in Kansas: Rev. Levi Holt, brother of Mrs. W. H. Keith, perhaps will accept a call to the North Ottawa Baptist church.

The call was tendered to him re- cently by a committee of that congre- gation and it is expected that he will accept and be ready to take up the work here in two months. In the interval Rev. E. S. Stucker will have pastoral charge of the church.

Rev. Holt has been commissioned by the Kansas Baptist convention to write a history of the sect in this state and wishes to begin work on the book at once. He is now pastor of a church in Stilwell, Oklahoma, and be- lieves that he can best perform the work in the state to be covered by the history. This consideration will be one factor in determining his ac- ceptance of the call. 1

Rev. Holt is a grandson of Rev. H. J. Gilpatrick, the first Baptist mis- sionary in Kansas, and has been fa- miliar all his life with the Kansas Baptist church.

He is a graduate of Ottawa Univer- sity, completing the course in 1871, with the first class. He went to To- peka on graduation, being connected for five years with the Western Bap- tist, the publication of the denomina- tion in the west. From there he went to Emporia, where he was pas- tor of the church for four years, leav- ing there to go to Guthrie, Oklahoma. From Guthrie he went to Stilwell. In all three of these pastorates he built new churches, and has won for him- self the title of "the church builder."

Rev. and Mrs. Holt have two sons, one, George H. Holt, is a student in a theological seminary at Newton Center, Mass., and Howard, another son, is in the Oklahoma state nor- mal school at Edmund, Oklahoma.

KANSAS CLUB INTERESTED.

Organization at Chicago Wants to Meet New Students.

President Price has received a letter from the officers of the Kansas College club of Chicago Uni- versity. Guy L. Gebhart, Campbell College '07, is president and Edgar G. Corwin, Kansas University '09, is secretary of this club. Its headquar- ters are at the Young Men's Chris- tian Association rooms, 153 LaSalle street. The letter follows:

The recent graduates and students of Kansas Colleges now in Chicago have formed an organization known as the Kansas College club. The pur- pose of this club is the development

of mutual acquaintance and goodwill among the former Kansas men.

It is the aim of the club to be of service to the many Kansas college men entering the city as strangers, to take up work as students or in the technical or professional lines.

Will you kindly bring notice of this before your senior class and see that it is given publicity in your college paper in order that any of your grau- uating class expecting to take up work in Chicago may take advantage of this opportunity of getting in touch with the other Kansas men in the city.

Those coming to the city should re- port their names to L. S. Weatherby, Snell Hall, University of Chicago.
