At South Hall W. Harry Dehm, presi- dent of the Associated Students, ad- dressed the clas¢. He sald: “Despite the quantities of red tape that enmesh us whenever we have any busi- ness in this bullding, we still have in our hearts a feeling of veneration for old South Hall. Here In days gone by Joe Le Conte was wont to shower us with his Dehm paid tributes to Presi- dent Wheeler, whese office is in South Hall, and to Recorder Sutton, “the much- maligned manipulator of red tape." H. M. Howard spoke briefly at the Ag- ricultural building, referring to the ne- eessity of college-bred farmers and the excellent work done by the agricultural college in fitting men for the farm. Heapst Hall was next visited. and Miss Alma Barnett there told of the “co-eds' " place in college life. Belmont P.

The great amphitheater presénted {en the stage, with the shadows in the ! forming a splendid back- | | ground for the picture. It was the first Mme that an extravaganza had been at- phatic. The produetion of “The Royal Road" called for the services of practically the entire senior class. The list of principal characters was a long one, and the cha- ruses utilized hundreds of mea nnd women students. The choruses scored a decided hit, their costumes being elabo- rate and attractive, their dancing finel, executed, and their groupings perfectly done. Z The extravaganza described the adven-: tures of Stuart Bumme, who, while | spending the holidays at Sunnyville, be- comes engaged to Susie Faire. Returning to college he learns that an immense for- tune has been Jeft him by his aunt on condition that he graduate in May, 1905.

His friends try to get | dents’ affairs’ committee in order:to help | Stuart Bumme, and Captain Nance's aid is enlisted. Eventually Captain Nance dismisses Professor Sitstill, and by this time the man who was hazed calls it all joke and Bumme is able to graduate, m| wed and to get his legacy.

Then Charies G. Lathrop, | of Mra.

Mrs.. Stanford had written a -letter to the students just before her departure tor - Honolulu, hut she expressed the until the 1aying of the cornerstone. The sale of the jewe]s was an entirely un- expected answer to the question of the maintenance of ‘the library, although it will provide an amply sufficient fund. Short addresses were smade by Presi- dent Dayid Starr Jordanm, ~Librarian Dodge, Chaplain Gardner, Cecil Mar- rack for the alumni and A. R. Fleteher and D. D. Sales for the student body. Mrs. Stanford’s letter was as follows: “To My Dear Students: My health being somewhat impaired, I am ad- vised by my ‘physician to take a sea voyage to Homalulu. I regret this ab- sence, as it was my desire to be with you ‘when laying the cornerstone of ihe university library. I deem this a fitting . opportunity to express to you studentg a few of my views concernltx;‘g the condition of affairs relating to the university in general. MANY BOOKS NEEBB“D.

Science must not overbalance the humanities as at present. 1 would like to see the spiritual side ad- vaneed,” to be equal ifo the physical de- Velopment. We: must mot lose sighit of the fact we ‘are only beéginners ‘and* are learning . from ‘ours ‘expetiences ‘what Is wisest.and ‘best’ for our students.

Without this we are mot much above the level of the animal. It does not mean swaying or bending the young mind toward theology, creedism or religious sectarian- ism of any kind. It means only .to de- velop the soul seed lying dormant, wait- ing to be watered, nurtured, cared for, roused-into life, and when that is accom— plished nru then a monitor to tell us what is rfght and what i{s wrong, for our conscience when once awakened never makes a mistake in admonishing us how to act. “While addressing you at this time, I deem it wise to embrace the opportunity of alluding to the work of the Memorial Church, I have the pleasure still before me of making a selection of a God-loving minister for the pulpit. T do not think the minister will wish an assistant, T hope he will not, but rather that he would consider 1t a wise plan to select students to assist him, a month at a time without compensation, students selected from the sénjors who are willing to serve from love pF duty, two or three at a tifne, it need be. What better way to draw church and school together? I would like to sce the time come when no student on the church committee, and the heipers should not be chesen from the Christlan Assocfation exclugively.
