tnougnts that will encourage the students
to put forth their utmost efforts for the
attainment of the highest Ideals, yet each
of the speakers indulged in freetuent
bursts of humor, which made the session
very enjoyable as well c? Instructive.
Drs. Mills and McDowell told many stories
of their college days, which stories seemed
to bring up In the minds of the students
scenes and experiences that are now
common In their own lives.
Following the addresses by these gentle
men, several ministers and laymen who
are alumni of Willamette University par
ticipated in an Informal exchange of Ideas
regarding the welfare of the school. Sto
ries of old school days were exchanged.
and the session was closed with the ut
most good feeling upon the part of all
present.
Resolutions Are Adopted.
This afternoon formal resolutions were
adopted thanking the newspapers for their
cordial assistance; pledging President
Coleman and the members of the faculty
of the university the undivided support
of the be3t influence of the members or
the convention, and thanking Dr. McDow
ell. Dr. Mills and Bishop Cranston for
their valuable help in the work of thUs
convention and of the campaign for funds
which Is now to begin.
Bishop Cranston then took occasion to
pay a tribute to the work that has been
elone by Editor Fisher, of the Pacific
Christian Advocate. In behalf of Willam
ette University. The sentiment was in
dorsed by hearty applause from the audi
ence, and Rev. Fisher was called to the
rostrum, in a few well-chosen words the
speaker urged that untiring efforts be put
forth to make the present campaign a
successful one, and counseled the students
to Improve every opportunity to advance
themselves In their studies.
A Conundrum.
At this juncture Bishop Cranston pro
pounded a conundrum, which -he thought
the students and professors should be able
to answer. At the forenoon session one
of the speakers related a story of his
college days, when "ponies" were used in
such numbers that they became known
a. the "cavalry" arm of the service. This
furnished the basis of the conundrum,
which was: "What Is tiic difference be
tween a student's 'pony' and a professor's
'hobby'?" No one seemed to have an an
swer ready, and the bishop explained that
the difference Is that the student's pony
Is kept In the dark, while the professor's
hobby Is always out for exercise.
Profetsor Hav.iey thought tht; was giv
ing the Instructor the worst end of the
joke, and told a etory which concluded
with the proposition that a student who
neglects his studies until he finds it nec
essary to use a "pony" presents an ex
ample of a horse and an ass yoked to
gether. Professor Hawley addressed the conven
tion briefly upon the influences and native
tendencies which affect the lives of boys
and girls, and the problems of life which
must, in a measure, be solved by them In
their school days.
Building; Up a Student Body.
Rev. Todd, of Eugene, spoke upon the
subject. 'The Means of Building Up a
Student Body." His thought in brief wa?
that a school must have a president who
is attractive to students when they meet
him first, and whose personality Is such
that he will hold students after he has
enrolled them in his school.
The faculty muM be composed of men
who are capable in their work and who
will win the esteem and confidence of the
students who come before" them tor in
struction. Pastors of the several churches
should make It their business to learn or
young people who are thinking of at
'tendlng an Institution of higher learning,
and U3e their influence to send sueh per
sons to the university.
Alumni of University.
Hon. N. M. Newport, of Albany, a grad
uate of the school at Salem, spoke upon
"The Alumni of Willamette University.'
He reviewed the careers of some of the
graduates of the university, showing that
their educations opened for them lives or
usefulness and honor. He spoke of the
duty which the alumni owe to their alma
mater, and said they should ml-s no op
portunity to aid the school by their finan
cial support and by sending to it those
persons who are entering upon a course
of higher education.
Governor Gcer Spenlcs.
At the evening session. General XV. 11.
Odell. president of the board of trustees
of the university, presided. Governor
Gcer was the principal speaker. The
speaker laid stress on the point that edu
cation makes for greater morality and In
tegrity In the man or woman receiving it.
"There Is no Ingredient which goes so
vitally into the composition of the warp
and woof of our Government as the com
mon school system, but this is not
enough," said the speaker. "A common,
school education will well qualify an nv
erage mm for nn ordinary vocation, but
the possibilities of the common schools
cannot be measured. When computed as

lines which have been contributory to the

room for conflict or rivalry between the

there are Instances where 'much learning
makes men mad,' and leads to the false
conclusion that a man with a higher edu
cation cannot perform manual labor with
out doing violence to his pride and lower
ing his dignity, yet the Indisputable fact
remains that a college education increases
the capabilities of a man, and, therefore,
correspondingly, his opportunities. The
world Is in an Increasing ratio looking
for men who can do things, and as an
agency In fitting men and women for the
multiplicity of new duties they are called
upon to perform by reason of the great
atlvancement of the race during the last
50 j-ears, the colleges and universities of
the country have been indispensable aux

community in which he lives, and there

Dr. McDowell delivered a brief but elo
quent address, pleading for a broader and
firmer foundation for the Intellectual and
spiritual life. His four supports for a
well-balanced manhood were: To learn to
think without confusion clearly. To love
your fellow-men sincerely. To act from
honest motives purely. To trust In God
and Heaven securely. He said man must
not rest his house upon one of these pil
lars, but upon all. If he would have a
structure that would stand the tests of
storms.
Just before the meeting closed. Presid
ing Eider D. A. Watters arose and pledgetl
$10CO of his personal savings to the uni

with long-continud applause, which dem
onstration affected Dr. Watters so deeply
that he could not control his emotions,
but gave way to tears.
