This is the third of a series of four lectures arranged by the department this year, Dr C. G. Dunlap having spoken on "The Collecting of Books" and Prof. R. D. O'Laney at a meeting of Criticism at previous meetings.
"The arrangement of this series of lectures represents an attempt to secure something more of unity of interest in the department." said Procopio Sapienza, a professor of 32 graduate students done work in the department and we desired in some way to bring them closer together. This is the first time this sort of this has been tried and thus far it has been very successful."

Improvements in Fraser Chapel Near Completion
Fraser chapel is showing a new "front" as work is fast nearing completion on the sides of the pipe organ, in the front of *the* chapel. The painters have been busy the last week on the work and they will soon have the improvements finished. The work consists of wings extending from both ends of the organ to the north and south, so would partition from wall to wall. Trap doers are in the new ends to permit members of the orchestra to keep their large instruments safely in the chapel.

25 YEARS AGO—AND DOWN
Remember twenty-five years ago—when many of us were just getting our second set of teeth—the family moved into the big house across the street?
And how, after they were comfortably settled, you went with "mma" when she made the first afternoon call on the new neighbors—an important social duty in those days—remember?
And after you got the first few glimpses of the Mr_—your idea of the importance of dress that decreases one bit, no sir! Why, hadn't you seen him wear at least three different suits of clothes—all of the nwest fashion?
Gosh! They had one of those big, low pianos with fancy legs on it. Brussels carpets on the floors, chairs and a 'tice-tate' that made your hands feel cramped. I bought sets. You were duly impressed with the grandeur of the new neighbors. And, ma wasn't asleep either? She saw those real face curtains, that fancy stand cover and those cut-outs in the ceiling. The chinrest sat in the dining room.
In some respects, times have changed. But human nature hasn't! We're all somewhat inclined to judge people pretty much by appearances. Of course, now we often estimate a person's worth by their appearance, the automobile he drives rather than by the kind of furnishings he has in his home. The family hawk seems to have lost its popularity to a certain extent. The automobile manufacturers have seen to it that the motor car bus, beer elevated to a position in the news, is no longer as the home, and in many cases even more so. Yes, times have changed.
The big election is over! Interest in the outcome has already waned considerably. In a few more days no one will care who won. But it was grand until it lasted. So much like the real thing and yet so dif-
But, PERSONAL appearance still is, as it was in the old days, a barometer by which folks judge us. Or, gather, the clothes we wear and the way we wear them, have a lot to do with those "first impressions" we make. And "first impressions" do count.
Canines, Campaign Managers and Candidates Collapse as Spring Election Is Concluded
per days now we have been home hardened with literature,—on the one hand highly landmark, on the other derogatory. We have found that candidate for the election, as in which we, for the life of us could figure out the relation to the election.
One man is champion horse shot pitcher, another is chairman of the committee for the relief of the gray outcasts who are unafraid of acute indignation. Adeline is secretary of II Ponderoser. Marjorie was a member of the Athenaeum society in high school. Every candidate now has an ad campaign, "Dap," "Dan," "Dap," "Louville Lou." "Slim" "Cicero" and the Ile.
We were told to vote for "Akallai Ike" for president. He never broke a javelin while trying for a record, but he could move a "hawk hop" and so forth.
Students who had hitherto remained in obscurity, unknown and perhaps unhonored, found their haunts disturbed by a varied array of visitors. They found themselves the recipients of advice, friendship, and edulating goulthes.
Others who broke into the halls of fame were the campaign managers. They were painstaking in the collection of data on their candidates. Even the home town and county came in for mention. The statistics offered.
They remontrate—“but we don't know this man or that.” “Oh, but he’s a prince of a fellow. He will do wonders for you. He belongs to the N. Y. Z. and has a friend who is at the Eworth League,” or eterna.
Even lovely dogs found themselves objects of interest. Some of those canines, abused and maltreated in thirst, and objects of malicious plot were also used as aid verifiers. No device was too tiring or outlandish to be utilized.
he testimony as to the merits, presented, has commended their ability to the Senate investigating committee.

Then came the scenes at the polite: Long lines of voters moved at a small's pace toward the judges' table. There were even cases of cutting classes to test her. Electioneering at the nells was barred, but ambitious candidates were not to be denied. Their genial smiles and beaming counternances made them appear iniquitely than any words. Fair young ladies were simply irresistible. The voter was torn between conflicting desires and emotions.
At last, when the last comer received the last smile and handshake at the election booths, when the last vote was counted, and the echoes of whoops of victory died down, pence reigned on the campus.
Punch and wafers were served on the porch during the evening Shoftall furnished the music for the dance.
The fourth of a series of Sunday evening toas for members of the School of Fine Arts faculty will be held on April 25 at Donald M. Swarthout this evening.
The central girl was busy for a while as impatient phones rang to inquire for results. Hearty congratulations buzzed over the wires. Hearty handshakes marked the winners the following day. "Sure glad to hear you won, Bill," for everyone likes to greet a winner.
But he burden of it all fell on the汀伎ors and other unfortunate who had to clean up the muss and iron in their clothing. As they stepped over to pick each card and tag, they uttered muffled curses against all elections.
"All we can say is, we sure are glad that elections don't come but once or twice a year," was their comment.

"--and he's to be married in June"
His aggressive spirit and well groomed appearance (the two traits usually go together) surely will carry him successfully through life.

But, besides being especially pretty, she is no fool. Although he doesn't dance as well as some of the others, or hasn't a wonderful looking sport roadster she recognizes in him the makings of a real man.
Many of his friends thought his case was hopeless —for the girl had been exceedingly popular, always surrounded by a host of admiring suiters.
