Members of the Alumni association at
their banquet last night completed their
$10,000 endowment fund by plendging 16,200,
the balance needed. It required e'.ghteen
-minutes to raise the money.
The exercises were presided over by Dr.
Stoottey. The graduates with the faculty
marched in to a selection from Blerman,
Marche Trlumphala, Op. JO, played by
kllsses Flchter and Mitchell. Dr. C U
Phelps pronounced the invocation. Miss

Leadership." Mr. Primrose is also a
graduate of the Omaha Theological
Seminary. Olen Rice rendered two musical
selections.
Address by Dr. Boares.
Dr. Theodore O. Soares of the University
of Chicago gave the address of. the day,
A Modern Philosophy of Life." - Dr.
Soares made it plain that he was not
speaking of an academic philosophy, but
of a practical, every-day working creed.
'Most people," said Dr. Boares, "have a
philosophy, whether they be conscious of
It or not. One of the most dangerous
philosophies of the present day Is the
doctrine of opportunism. Life is a
struggle and we must take the nice things
In life or some other fellow will.
"We must live," he said, "is one of the
most common Justifications put forward
In justification of graft. But do we have
to liver May we not pay too great a price
for living? Do we expect the fireman or
the policeman to say to us In moments of
peril and need, 'We must live.'
"The philosophy of the simple life Is
all right as far as It goes, but It does
not go far enough. True, we should limit
our desires, but to the contrary we find
that life grows more complicated every
day."
The address of Dr. Soares was followed
by a few remarks from Dr. E. H. Jenkins
of Omaha. He spoks very hopefully of the
future of the college, saying that the col
lege had a great friend raised up in Its
behalf in the person of Dr. Robert Mc
Kensle, the new secretary of the college
board, whom he personally knows.
Dr. Stookey, acting for the Board of
Trustees, conferred the degree of doctor
of divinity upon the Rev. R. W. Taylor
of Tekamah. The presentation of the I
year's prises and athletic letter was a
feature.
The afternoon was devoted to an alumni
reunion. Prof. Willis Kerr, '00 of West
minister college, delivered an address upon
"Attitude." The week closed with the
alumni banquet at Fontenele hall and the
president's reception.
$5,200 In Eighteen Minutes.
At the annual alumni banquet held at
Bellevue college last evening, the members
of the Alumni association completed their
$10,000 endowment fund by raising $5,200 in
the short space of eighteen minutes. Mr.
C. E. Dlckason of Omaha, an old time
student lesponded to a toast and after
describing the needs of the college, called
for subscriptions. Four thousand eight
hundred dollars had been previously
pledged by alumni and ex-students, and the
remaining $6,200 was secured In Just
eighteen minutes. The amounts ranged
from $50 to $j00 and there was hardly
a pause. Dr. Ernest of Bellevue, the chair
man of the finance committee expects that
when the members of the association who
were not at the banquet are heard from
the total will not be less than $15,000.
The banquet was a great success outside
the money raised. Mr. Willis Kerr, '00 of
Omaha was toast master. The silver-loving
cup, presented by former president Guy
W. Wadsworth, was won by the class of
1903, Mrs. Dr. Patton of Omaha, president,
for the largest representation present of
their former class. . Eighty per cent of
. L.
tue graduating class returned after a
seven years' absence, ajid nearly so per
cent of their total undergraduate enroll
ment.
If. T. Clarke, sr., of Omaha, founder of
the college, was present the latter part of
the evening and expressed great pleasure
at the spirit shown. Following the banquet
a recepthin was held at the home of the
President Dr. 8. W. Btookey.

Wants to Make Maale Cnsat,
OMAHA, June, 8.
To the Editor of The Bee: Just now.
when the schools are in the publio eye, I
would like to call attention to what seems
a defect of no slight importance, the reme
dying of which would not entail a cent of
extra expense, nor any additional labor.
It would not affect all pupils, nor, perhaps,
any considerable portion of them, but those
whom It would touch, It would, I believe.
he of inestimable benefit.
To make myself clear, and to present the
case as briefly as possible, I will take
a concrete example.
In my family of four children Is one
possessing sufficient musical talent to
make Its cultivation worth while.
During her work In the grades she had
sufficient leisure from her school duties to
give all the time necessary to her music.
On entering the high school airMhls was
changed. The amount of work exacted
made It Impossible to give the tlmo she
ought to her music To enable her to carry
on her music, , I had her take but half
the work laid down In the course of study,
eo that she necessarily required two years
to do one year's work. This gave her
plenty of time for both her school work
sund muslo without any danger of overwork,
However, after taking two years to do the
first year's work, there was a decided ob
jection on the part of her mother and her
self to continuing m that way, as they
figured it would take eight years to get
through the high school. Consequently, her
music since that tune has taken a second
ary place, while by rights It should have
had an equal chance, at least. Of course,
she might have discontinued her school
work and given her time to music. Pos
sibly that would have been wisest." Btill,
I did not wish her to give up her school
work.
She finishes her work In the high school
this year, so the remedy which I suggest
can be of no avail in. her case.
Our high school requires for graduation
a certain number of "points." - These
"points" are to be gained by completing
certain subjects, some of which are "obli
gatory," and some "optional." A consid
erable latitude for choice is permitted the
pupil. Now, as an "optional," why not
allow the pupil to take muslo in the place
of some other subject, such as Oerman or
French, for example. I would not attempt
to minimize the value of these subjects, or
others I might mention from an educa
tional standpoint, but no one, I think.
would deny for some persons an equal value
for music, whether considered from either
the educational or "bread and butter"
standpoint. In case of the girl cited there
can be no question that the same time and
energy that she has given her German
could it have been given to her muslo
would have been worth many hundred per
cent more to her.
I would not have the school authorities
furnish the muslo teacher. The pupil
would take her Instruction from her music
teacher just as at present, but would re
ceive the eame credit for the work done
as though she were taking seme other sub
ject as now laid down in the curriculum.
Doubtless, certain details would have to
be worked out, but as It appears to me,
that would be a simple matter.
I am not making this suggestion
theorist merely, nor without consideration.
I wonder if there are not other parent,
who are of my way of thinking.
