No. 3 Entered January 5, 191 1 , at the postoffice at Sioux City, Iowa, as second class matter, under act of Congress, July 16, 1894 H«ri>a ^mknt nf Jfrmfont CUrattj Bishop W. S. Lewis — “He is a great man for this mighty task.” Dr. Thos. Nicholson, Secretary Methodist Board of Education — “Dr. Craig is scholarly, exceedingly well-read, familiar with educational problems, an administrator of high order, and every way capable.” President A. IV. Harris, Northwestern University — “I have heard him referred to by some who are good judges and have had wide opportunities, as the most promising preacher in the Methodist church. Certainly he made before our alumni a year ago an address whose impression has not been equalled by any other speech of the kind, made at Northwestern during my presidency.” Christian Advocate of New York — “Judged by what he is and by what he has done, his administration at Morning- side should be marked by the same enthusiastic leadership and solidity of achievement that were its characteristics when Dr. Wilson S. Lewis was at its head.” President Samuel Dickie, Albion . — ' l Dr. Craig uniformly commands the respect of men.” Dr. F. L. Thompson, General Secretary of Methodist Brotherhood. — “I am thinking, too, of his influence throughout the entire northwest — that literal inland empire of which Morningside is the educational and religious center. No young preacher will come in contact with him, or hear him at any public occasion of note, and ever be quite the same sort of a man after. Dr. Craig’s manhood, his personality, his tense loyalty to our Lord Christ and to everything for which He came, will also so grip the great body of the ministry and the intelligent lai:y as to work literal transforma- tions in their ideals and devotion.” Central Christian Advocate, Kansas City. — “It will bring a thi the man.” of satisfaction to all who know the institution and PRESIDENT ALFRED E. CRAIG. Ph. D. On August 8, 1911, the trustees unanimously elected Alfred E. Craig president of Morningside College. Dr. Craig is a man of foremost ability and thorough intellectual training, as shown hy his educational experience and his long and suc- cessful pastorates at Albion, Mich.; Ottumwa, Iowa; Columbus, Ohio; and Wilmington, Dele- ware. The following leading institutions have conferred upon him these degrees: A. B., North- western University; B. D., Garrett Biblical Institute; D. D., Northwestern, Albion and Garrett; Ph. D., Syracuse University. His dissertation submitted for the doctorate in Philosophy was an able dis- cussion of the "Philosophy of Socialism." Presi- dent Craig is now entering upon the very prime of an already great career. Commanding in presence, clear and sure in his mental grasp, strong in ad- ministration and in financial generalship, the week he spent on the ground at the time of his election deeply impressed all that he will be a master leader in building a greater Morningside. Professor James A. Coss, newly elected Professor of Chemistry at Morningside, comes from Clark University where he has just com- pleted residence work for the Ph. D. degree. He graduated from Illinois Wesleyan in 1903, and has done graduate work at the Uni- versity of Chicago and the University of Illinois. He has had suc- cessful experience in High Schools and as Professor of Chemistry and Physics in Upper Iowa University. Miss Edith Hadley has been secured as instructor in German. She is a graduate of Olivet College and also of the University of Michigan where she received the degree of M. A. Miss Hadley is a successful and experienced teacher of German, well qualified every way to do a high grade of work. / V ONE OF THE CHEMICAL LABORATORIES. JAMES REISTRUP, Insructor in Piano Forte CECIL BURLEIGH, Teacher of Violin CLOVIS B. JOHNSON, Instructor in Voice Mr. James Reistrup, of Racine, Wis., has been elected Instructor in Piano Forte. He has studied with leading teachers in Chicago and for years in Europe, among others with Alberto Jonas, recognized as one of the world’s greatest teachers. His playing is marked with great sympa- thy and expression. He is a successful and experienced piano instructor who will greatly benefit his pupils. Morningside has engaged a splendid concert performer, thoroughly advanced in technic, efficient violin instructor, Mr. Cecil Burleigh. He has studied in Berlin, two years with Anton Witek and Max Grunberg. He has composed much and traveled two years with the Slayton Lyceum Bureau. Another valuable addition to the Conservatory is Mr. Clovis B. Johnson, teacher of voice. He has a magnificent bass-baritone voice and his repertory is very large. He studied with Mr. Thos. McBurney of Chicago, once assistant to Frank Clark King of Paris, one of the greatest singing teachers of Europe. He has taught with great success. Miss Mae E. Wood is a graduate of Morningside College, and a very successful teacher of children and beginners in piano forte. These can now start their study in the Conservatory with certainty of good instruction without being obliged to pay the higher rates of tuition. MAE EDITH WOOD, A. B. Teacher of Piano Forte. MISS WINIFRED A. GARNICH Director of Physical Training for Women. Modern life demands physical as well as intellectual develop- ment. Such development in the college woman is imperative, and Morningside has recognized its value. The college has succeeded in securing an efficient physical director for girls in Miss Winifred A. Garnich, who comes to us a graduate of the Columbia School of Expression, having done her preparatory work in Northland College. Miss Garnich is peculiarly adapted to this work, having made a thorough study of this branch of training. The work is divided into three series of classes that meet twice a week. There are drills with wands, Indian clubs, dumb bells, etc. The proper positions in sitting t walking and standing are emphasized, and thus give graceful poise and womanly strength. Drills and steps of various kinds are prac- ticed. Intellectually and physically perfect is the aim of Morningside. Mr. Hariy W. Ewing, assistant coach of the University of Nebraska, has been selected as the head of the Depart- ment of Physical Training at Morningside. In general athletic work Mr. Ewing has had a wide experience, and has excelled particularly in football. He began his athletic career in the Lincoln high school in the fall of 1904. In this year Lincoln won the championship of Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas. The next year they won the cham- pionship of the United States. Mr. Ewing was also prominent in basket ball, baseball and track work. Entering the University in 1906, he played regularly on the team that won the championship of the Missouri Val- ley in 1907 and continued on the Varsity until 1910, when he was elected to the position of assistant coach at the "U," and helped turn out a team which again won the Valley championship. In ’07-08-09 he was picked on the "All Missouri Valley Eleven" and in 09 he was picked by some critics for the "All Western Eleven." Mr. Ewing is a young man of fine personal appear- ance, a splendid student, having studied in residence the amount necessary for the degrees M. A. and LL. B., a clean athlete and the embodiment of all the qualifications that make for leadership in continuing the wonderful athletic achievments of Morningside. COACH EWING. NEW FIELD HOUSE. This large and ample field house recently built on Bass Field for indoor track and base- ball work, has been the scene of more athletic activity during the hours for exercise, from 4:00 to 6:00 p. m., than is recorded of any University or College on its lists of exchanges. The field house does not interfere in the realm of the gymnasium, nor does it take the place of one. It was in this modern house that the team who won the state meet at Grinnell, was developed. To Morningside College belongs the distinction of having an athlete who ranks sixth in competition with the best athletes in the United States. Captain Quarnstrom of the Morningside track squad, has twice duplicated this feat, this year annexing 300 more points to his total, than in 1910.

The necessary expenses for a year are as follows: LOW Tuition $48.00 incidental fee (which includes free admission to all College events) 9.00 Table board (estimated) 80.00 Furnished room (estimated) 30.00 Laundry (Estimated ) 8.00 Books (estimated) 10.00 Laboratory fees (in science course only) 4.00 $189.00 HIGH $48.00 9.00 120.00 45.00 16.00 20.00 12.00 $270.00 Other expenses depend largely upon the personal habits and desires of the student. However such incidental personal expenses should not exceed $15.00 to $25.00 for the year. Railroad fare and clothing of course, are not included in above estimates. Many students earn their way in part while in college. Any young man or woman with perseverance and strength for work of various kinds will find opportunity for self help. If such a one has $125.00 with which to begin, he or she is perfectly safe in starting to college. Usually it is impractical to seek to arrange for work in advance. After the student is on the ground and acquainted this! can be done much more satisfactorily. With fifteen colleges competing, Mr. Johnson won second place in the State Oratorical Contest, losing the decision to Mr. Emerson, of Ames. One week later at the State Peace Contest at Pella, Iowa, Mr. Johnson won over Emerson, the same orations being in competition. Morn- ingside has a record in oratory unequalled by any college in the state. With seventeen colleges competing, Morn- ingside’s representatives have in the past four years won first place once, and second place three times. JJrispa in ©ratnnj The following prizes are given each year: For the Regular Contest, $100.00, divided into three prizes. For the Prohibition Contest, $40.00, divided into three prizes. • These contests are open to all college students. FRANK P. JOHNSON. ^ inner of the State Peace Contest. C. F. CUSHMAN. G. E. WICKENS.

Occasional victory is to be expected, but continuous success is the mark of live work, proper training and enthusiastic support. H. H. HUDSON. N. L. HACKETT. J. A LEWIS. AFFIRMATIVE OF INTER-COLLEGIATE DEBATING TEAM, 1910-11. Morningside has won six out of the seven inter-collegiate debates in which the school has been engaged during the past four years. VARSITY TEAM. “Recreation and Exercise are the tonics for the mind and body.” The benefits of the football camp cannot be overestimated. Here on the shores of this beautiful lake, the new and the old men meet; new acquaintances are formed; light signal practices are used; talks are given by the Coach, and all are made stronger in body and mind for the greater things at Morningside.
