tho Stato
The -'formal opening .pt the Univer
sity for tlie jear 1S08-99 occurred in
the Chapel on Saturday, September
17th. The exorcises were begun at 11
o'clock and lasted a little over an hour.
The Chapel wis full to overflowing of
enthusiastic fieehmen and other class
men, who greeted with clapping, hur
rahing, and whistling each member of
the faculty, both old and new, as each
made his appearance on the platform.
The Chancellor received the greatest
ovation, for in addition to all the
above manifestations of good feeling,
the University yell was raised -and
given with a will. It was a typical
college gathering and must have
shown the freshmen present tne "es
prit de corps" of the University.
The regular chapel exercises were
first gone through with and tjen the
new members of the faculty were in
troduced in turn by the Chancellor.
The first to be presented was Dean
Wilson, the first dean of women the
University has had, and she -was re
ceived by a hearty hand-clapping.
! Miss Boa ton was next introduced as
the head e the new "School of Do
mestic Sciesce." She said she hoped
'herwnew duties .would not interfere
withjwr old. . N L- A -
- The Chancellor announced that Mrs.
"Taylor would not be a member of the
faculty this year, and introduced Miss
llerron as her successor.
The new head of the Electrical En
gineering department was then
presented ki li -happy way
by the Chancellor. The students in
sisted on hearing him say something
and he responded by saying that deeds
count and not words; that it would
rbe a good deal easier to tell at the end
of the semester whether his adminis
tration had been a success or not.
Mr. J. I. Wyer, the new librarian,
said he wanted to meet all the stu
dents individually and to kx all he
could in every way to -help them.
C L. Week's wae announced) Ws the
new commandant of cadets.
Pryce, an assistant in the physical
training department;
Hitcbman, in
assiFtant In the department of
Mechanical Drawing and Machine ue-
sign, and Mis Davis, of the Mathe
matics department, were then pre
sented.
After making a few -emarks about
the new building and explaining the
efficiency of the new courses of study,
in preference to lectures. This feature
has been verj favorably com men ted on
by leading men of the bar and is attracting-
students from other states.
After making a few remarns about
the new Ibuiding and explaning the
efficiency of the new courses of study,
the Cbancelhr spoke of the numerous
book stores on an near the Univer
sity campus, and said that the Univer
sity Book s-,ore had the sanction of
the authorities as its -.airs were
looked into at regular intervals by u
committee of regents, faculty and
students. He then made a short open
ing address ivh'ch wae full of good
thoughts and was heartily received.
He said in fart: Since the real open
ing uddres has 'been given, as you
have ween the old ad new members
of the faculty here, rerfdy, as never be-

"The Higher or Spiritual Life of the
University."
We are somewhat in danger, lth

Now as a university we must .be a , -
leader of the American people. As '
scholars there are special temptations
to draw us away from the cultivation
of the spiritual life, that contemp
lation of God which Is the deepest
form of prayer.
The inner life must foe active in) that
sympathy which .must issue fin (help

ing to your own belief, a communion
with the God yoa seek, if you know
Him not and by unselfish helpfulness
toward your professors, toward one
another and toward all, to keep the
higher life, that the University as well
as you may corctiune to grow.
The date for the opening of the Hew
building has not beea fixed absolutely
but it will be about the middle of Oc

great feast day for the University.,
