OTTERBEIN BACKS TEAM
dule in less than a week practice developements of the past seven days show that she can hope for a team .worthy to represent Otterbein in a 5 way that she has not dared to think of for six long years.
The Diamond Jubilee. The success of the Diamond Jubilee and the success of the 1922 football team are one and the same thing. If the Otterbein constituency sees a foot ball team of doers backed up by a stu dent body and faculty that make doing possible its respect for Otterbein as a college among colleges will be quickened in such a way that contri butions toward a greater, a more re presentative Otterbein undoubtt^dly will be increased.
The Week’s Work.
By actual count there were more than two hundred and fifty students present for the evening. There were three big bonfires, in the light of which five groups played the good oldfashioned circle games always asso ciated with picnics. After refresh ments of weiner sandwiches, punch, pickles and marshmallows, and the fun of toasting the “dogs” and “fluffs” over the coals, everybody gathered around the biggest bonfire and each of the chaperones. Professors Altman, McCloy, and Hursh, Mrs. McCloy and Mrs. Hursh; and J. P. Schutz, and Grace Hill made interesting short talks and P. J. Harris gave one of his famous readings. After a verse each of “Philophronea” and “Cleiorhetea,” and college yells the trail home was taken and by eleven o’clock the last straggler had passed the lonesome old bridge and lights were out at Coch ran Hall.

After the regular literary program the society adjourned into informal session and the President introduced Professor Hanawalt to the asseml^lage as toastmaster.- His introductory re marks were of a happy, carefree na ture and succeeded in making the new fellows feel at home and to gather the first of what will be for many a series of similar helpful meetings. Al. Elliott was called upon as a re presentative of the society to formally welcome the new students. He spoke out of a wealth of experience as an active member of Philomathea, em phasizing the importance to each new man as he entered a literary society to join with the idea that he would be willing to put his best efforts into the work of the society. Professor Valentine made a brief speech thanking the boys for the op portunity of having the privilege of mingling with them and assuring them that he is anxious to become familiar with their work and to lend any as sistance to them in which he may be helpful. As a very fitting climax T. H. Bradrick, of the class of ’94, gave one of his characteristic talks to the boys. The interest which Mr. Bradrick has shown in Philomathea is always appreciated. Being a citizen of Westerville, and having two sons who are active in the society, he is in a position to keep in touch with the work.

The Endowment Campaign is gain ing momentum daily and although the chief work of the promoters of the Diamond Jubilee Campaign has thus far been to lay plans and to perfect the organization of the workers, al ready twenty per cent of the two million dollar goal set by the Trus^^ tees of the College has been pledged. -4 During the last week. President Clippinger and Mr. Dreshman, the L Campaign Director, spoke at meetingSt,.of the Ohio German Conference, held^ ^ at Cincinnati and Dayton, and at two ^ meetings of the Allegheny Conference, “ held at Pittsburg and Portage, Pa. Splendid meetings are reported in all four of the cities and both Conferences are showing a fine spirit of cooper ation, passing resolutions to work to gether in the closest possible manner. As announced last week, a meeting of Bishops, Conference Superinten dents, Lay Leaders and District Group Leaders is to be held today in Colum bus at the Chittenden Hotel where the entire program of action for the campaign will be blocked out. Yi Delegates from Allegheny Coitf ference. headed by Bishop W. M. Bell and Dr. J. S. Fulton, the Conference Superintendent, arrived in time for Chapel and the student body was priv ileged to hear Bishop Bell deliver a short address. Bishop Bell spoke in the eloquent forceful manner that has earned for him the reputation of be ing one of the greatest orators in America, and declared that education for higher preparation in life is not ?' optional in the present age. Educa tion is now one of Life’s Musts. In spite of the widespread conviction of this truth, ecclesiastical schools are y not producing adequately enough to meet the demand. The government is % not producing adequately. Christian education is imperative. The student’s greatest concern at the present time is to get a proper understanding and re-1 lationship between himself and real Christianity, as the student is doomed < to fail signally in after life unless he identifies himself and articulates him-L self with Christ.
