EMINENT PROFESSOR FOR BACCALAUREATE
Dr. Edward A. Steiner of Grinnell Will Deliver the Sermon June 2
FAMED FOR TOLSTOY STORIES
Is Widely Known as Sociological and Philosophical Writer—Prof. J. N. Boodin Secured His Services
The speaker who has been secured for the baccalaureate sermon, Dr. Edward A. Steiner, is probably one of the most versatile and experienced men connected with any of our colleges today.
He has been a Congregational minister and is now professor of applied Christianity in Grinnell College in Iowa. He was obtained through the influence of Dr. J. N. Boodin, professor of philosophy here, who knew him as one of his colleagues when he was professor of philosophy at Grinnell.
STUDIED STEERAGE CONDITIONS
Dr. Steiner's interests are varied, he is a philosopher, a philologist, a theologist, and a sociologist, but the work by which he is best known is the work which he has done among the immigrants. He has crossed the ocean in the steerage about fifteen times in order to study the problems which confront the foreigner coming to this country.
WROTE RUSSIAN STORIES FOR OUTLOOK He has traveled extensively and the information of the customs and ways of different countries which he has, is extraordinary. Because of his intimate knowledge of the manners and of the language of the Russians, he is representative of "The Outlook" to interview and write the biography of Count Tolstoy.
IS A GRADUATE OF HEIDELBURG
Some results of his trip are the magazine articles entitled, "Tolstoy in the Heart of Russia," "Visit to Tolstoy's Home," "Tolstoy Today," "Tolstoy's Marriage and Family Life," etc.
IS A GRADUATE
Dr. Steiner was born in Vienna, Austria and was educated in the public school there. He later went to the "gymnasium" at Pilsen, Bohemia; in 1885 he graduated from the University of Heidelberg and from the Oberlin Theological Seminary in 1891. He later took a post-graduate course at the University of Göttingen and Berlin.
Besides his numerous magazine articles he has published several books, the best known of which are the following: "On the Trail of the Immigrant," "The Mediator," "The Immigrant Tide," and "Tolstoy the Man."
He is well-known throughout the United States as a very interesting and instructive speaker and it is indeed fortunate that the University has succeeded in securing him.
'RULES IS RULES', CLAIM
LAWS, 'AND CAPS IS CAPS'.
Although he was past middle age there was no getting around the fact that he was a freshman and should conduct himself in a manner similar to the manner of all freshmen since time immemorial.
April first was the date set by the Men's Student Council for the recrudescence of the freshman cap. In deference to the age of some of the nephyes, only warnings were given and no punishment dealt out for the violation of the rule of wearing the diminutive cap. But there comes a time when forbearance ceases to be a virtue.
He was caught red handed (or rather "behatted" instead of "he-capped" as is the degree), and pleaded with the judge that he had refused to wear the cap.
Punishment severe and heart rending was administered to him on the steps of Green hall. The whack, whack, whack from the blows of the paddles reverberated, echoed and reeched through this great hall of justice and the requirements of the law was again satisfied.

Joy Reigned Supreme By Albert Randolph
Alaska, the New El Dorado, is the scene chosen by Rex Beach for his great drama, "The Barrier," which comes Wednesday, April 24 to Bowersock theater, for one performance only.
G. A. Hamman, M. D., eye, ear, nose, and throat. lGasses fitted.— Adv.
This stage success is not, however, the popular conception of Alaska, a place of eternal snow, but the beautiful Northland in Summer where the lake is formed. It gests the warmth of springtime in this home of the midnight sun.
The book has had an enormous sale, and the story in play form held the metropolitan audiences of New York for one entire season. Owing to the theatrical war which has raged for some time, the original tour of the Pacific Coast was cancelled, but now that peace has been declared, Klaw & Erlanger's New Amsterdam theater success will take its original transcontinental tour. Prices 50, 75, $1.00 and $1.50—Adv.
