VISION IN LIFE.
Monday's Chapel Speaker Shows Its Value.

Rev. C. F. Wishart of Pittsburg, Pa., spoke in chapel Monday morning on the "Necessity of Having a Vision." He asserted that the man of vision has been vindicated, for vision goes along with the practical side of life.
"Where there is no vision, the people perish, and when there is no people the vision perishes. We must think in order to live, and we have to think according to our brain laws, for the laws of living cannot be mathematically and scientifically worked out."

THE SOCIAL ELITE ORGANIZE A CLUB
ONLY BEST DANCERS BE LONG TO EXCLUSIVE CLUB.
Thalians Will Give Four Dances This Spring—Will Be Models of Etiquette.
Certain members of the student body, realizing that the University needs an organization to set the pace for society, have found a "Thalian Club," whose members are supposedly the best and most artistic dancers in school. When interviewed upon the name of the club, Solon Emery, one of the charter members, explained that "Thalian" was discovered by a careful search through the dictionary. It is taken from Thalia ,the Greek muse of dancing. It is the purpose of the Thalians to give a series of formal dances, which will be correct from every point of social etiquette. Parties are to be held March 25, April 22, May 20 and 27. In order to give the University an idea of what an up-to-date informal party is like, the Thalians will wear light trousers and blue serge coats at the last dance.
The membership of the club is limited to thirty. The members are: William Hamner, Solon Emery, Samuel Stahl, Joseph Connell, Harold Wilson, Robert Lee, James Boring, Ben Marshall, Findley Graham, William Wellhouse, Clarence Connor, Orville Warner, Maleolm McNaughton, Robert Rowland, John Welch, Vance Day, Doc Minor, Claude Sowers, William Cain, John Franks, A.
