College opened there in the fall and a vested choir of 40 men is a feature of chapel service. The new hymn book used contains “Western Reserve” by R. P. Crum, music by organist Smith, and “Dear Old Reserve”. An “Undergraduate Day”, “Alumni Day”, and a’lawn-fete following the Freshmen’s winning the Hudson Relay were commendable additions to Com- mencement Week.

M. C. A. who will prepare for service in India. Wm. Caldwell, Kan- sas ’II, succeeds him. The “Spa’, become restaurant, has given way to a full-fledged Adelbert Commons. The Civie Club has had even the Outlook’s | attention (before the campaign) and should become an influential factor in securing co-operation between Reserve and: Cleveland, the city. Senior gowns appeared April 22—to stay. The Junior-Sophomore oratorical contest will become an inter-class: debate. Signed pledges have abolished hazing. The Student Council regulates elections and the Annual—the Soph editor-elect assists the Junior Editor. . The University supper was an enthusiastic gathering of 700.

(See Weekly, Janu- ary 23, 1912). “Stunt Night”, May 14, and “Campus Night”, May 24, were ny innoyations this year. ie il ; A Pan-Hellenic dinner was held April 24; rushing may begin June goth; a he fraternity scholarship cup has been proposed. Dr. A. I. Ludlow has gone to Seoul and Chai Ryung, Korea, as a medical missionary. Pres, Thwing has published “Letters from a Father to his Son Entering College’. He received a portrait of himself from the Trustees on the 20th aniversary of his inauguration. Their letter (Weekly, November 21, 1911) reviews his. effective record. Prof. Herrick has published a_ classic “Natural History of the American Lobster” for the government. Harvey Snyder and “Toughey” Lind are our football coaches. Zen: Scott has gone to Case. Football resulted in 4 victories, 4 ties (State and Navy), 3 defeats (Oberlin and Case,—9-5). Alumni football “R” men will get 1 seasen a pass, non-transferable, to all football games.

The codperation of the members of the class in securing the above infor- mation has been especially appreciated. A few did not send any and errors may therefore be found. In the literature of the past year the college man, both undergraduate and recent graduate, has received much attention, serious and otherwise. Witness Owen Johnson’s “Tennessee Shad”, “Stover at Yale’, and C. S. Cooper’s “The American Undergraduate in the Century (January-May, 1912), and numerous others. Even non-educational circles discuss his efficiency, or lack of it. A certain University President has been reported as saying he is worth $7 a week on graduation. ‘This is interesting. The details of our own college careers are still in mind. With these and before they fade, and with the experience and observation of our few years since graduating, spent within and without professional schools and other uni- versities, as both students and teachers, can we, asa class, aid our Alma Mater in some definite way? Why not a class committee to suggest action in this regard at our 5th anniversary reunion in 1913? To Old Reserve our sincere good will; to each of you happiness and success. Cordially, JoHN Boynton KAISER, Sec’y W. R. U., ’08. Class Finances: In 1910 it was estimated that an assessment of $32 per member would finance class letters through 1913 and it was recommended.
