Prof. Foesler Recalls Some In teresting History At Convocation Convocation period yesterday was occupied Iry Professor Fossler In an Interesting talk upon the early days of the University and one of the first Instructors, Professor Orsanus Charles Dake, first head of the department of English literature heie. Professor Fossler said in part: Professor Dnke was a small man with a gruff stern demeanor, and a deep bats voice, but withal a kind heart. The University at that time was prlm atie in almost every respect. The re quirements for entrance, as one may suppose, were not very high, and as an illustration of the laxity along that line he told a joke on Professor Dake The latter was the sole member of the examining board at that time. One day a youthful candidate came to him to take an examination for extrance. "Can you lead?" demanded Dake in bis sternest volte. Yes. sir;" was the frightened leply. 'Well, read." 'Where?" "Oh, anjwheie" The candidate took up a book and read a few lines. "That will do. You have passed " At times tbn boys tried to tease Piofessor Dake He had one weakness and that was for smoking, and he iiFed to smoke In his office on the sec ond floor of the main building. One day one of the students came in to the office, and after enlfflng the air a mo ment, said: "What's this I smell?" "Mind your business." was the reply he got. and he minded it. The University was not ery exten sive In 1871. Judge Dales was the only representative of the Junior class at tbat time. During that year there were two Sophomores and five FreFh mcn. There were eighteen second year stub Fieshmen, and forty ladles, mak ing in all about 120 Btudents. The library facilities at that time wete alEo eiy meagre, probably num bering thirt books, which can be purchased now for fifteen oi twenty dollars. Piobably it will be thought that good work could not he done with such mea gre facilities, but It is a mistake. The professors and the students came In c loser touch than they do now, when the students number thousands Instead of hundreds. In 1871 there were only scen members of the faculty, now there are about 185 members. All told there are now about 285 people con nected with the faculty. TlvJs shows the wonderful growth of the Universi ty in about thirty-two years. In closing Professor Fossler rea 1 several poems from Professor Dake's volume of poems, entitled "Midland Poems." English 15 Debate. In English 15 this afternoon at 1 O'clock the following question will be argued by Messrs. C. A. Sawyer. L. J. Zook, Charles Mohrman and C. H.
