The officers of the League are sparing no effort to make the meetings as interesting as possible. The student body has been divided into groups, and at each meeting, one of these groups will lead the af ternoon’s discussion. T'h e competitive nature of these discussions should be an in centive to higher achieve ments. A program will be present ed at every meeting. “City students” are especially invit ed to attend the League. One must realize that he is en titled to the sp.ritual as well as the educational benefits to be derived from Morris Brown. I HILOSOPHIAN SOCIETY It was on a Thursday after noon in the midst of a sump tuous repast at the home of our beloved tutor, philosoph er, and friend, Dean C. L. Hill that an idea was introduced. With this master stroke the Dean also proved himself a master psychologist for he perceived that the best time to introduce ideas—hence the success of past speeches. What the human mind will not do and say and to what it will not argue after such a pleasant meal as that one is but a matter of conjecture. It was under such a condi tion that our Philosophian Society came into existence. We presented a program in the chapel which was well re ceived. This year we have lost the presence—the presence I re peat, of our patron Dean C. L. Hill, but his influence con tinues to direct us. His “lo cum tenens” is our own Pro fessor J. R. Coan, himself a psychologist, philosopher, and remarkable figure. We have also lost one of our number, Miss Eva (Anascomanader) Jones. The good wishes of our society goes with her. We uates and four undergradu- have in our ranks four grad ates. Our first public meeting was held Thursday last, at which Mr. Ezra (Democritus) Murdock in an able manner delivered a paper on “Love”. After this paper there was a heated discussion on the sub ject. ‘“The Public will be in vited to our meetings from t me to time.” Sauve est, inter nos inter- ratioinari. “It is sweet to reason a- mong ourselves” is our mot to. Self reverence, self know ledge, self control; these three done lend life to soverign rower. Tenneyson SCHOLARSHIPS, PRIZES AND AW'ARDS The work of the various de partments and divisions of the college proceeds under the strength of its own motiva tion, with no appeal to those devices tantamount to bribery or artificial incentives.
