BUSINESS COLLEGE NOTES.
Friday evening the Business college
gave a reception to the new students
most of them were there and a number
of the old students also. The evening
was passed in taking names of books
and trying to find the names of
authors and discussing books and
authors and speaking pieces. Miss
Ruth Warren and Mr. Karl Spenee
were leaders in the race of authors.

President Dietrich read one of Cap"
tain Jack Crawford's poems entitled,
"Where the Hand of Cod is .Seen" in
chapel Thursday morning. Captain
.lack means Nebraska and Kansas,
when he says he does not like the city
and "loves to wander where the hand
of Cod is seen." Of course in Nebras
ka and Kansas people think that Mr.
Crawford is about right and are glad
to note that a man who has traveled
these Fnited States all over is still
very fond of our place.
The boys of the college are planning
a base ball team for 'his fall. We
believe in athletics and we would like

"Great Scott, doctor!" exclaimed ono,

"It certainly does," the surgeon an-
Bwered, with a worried look. "How
