The Gavelyte, February 1915

CEDARVILLE COLLEGE 7 and friends of the college can lend a helping hand in this by furnish– ing one of the most necessary requirements-'OASH. There is not an alumnus who would not be proud of a book picturing all the old scenes of the birth place of their greatness. There is not a frien1d who would not spend a mere trifle in order to Fee in picture and in description one o.f the dearest prizes that they have ever aided to es– tablish. If you cannot contribute in any other way, help this work along by SE nding or handing to the, Busiuess Manager, R. Cecil Burns, a. subscription for one copy of the "Ct. drus." In the last isrne of The Gavelyte there appeared, under the Philosophic Notes, an article that expressed our opinion in connec– tion with the literary societies. It stated that in the founding of Ce- 1ct,arville a lot was very wisely reserved for the purpose of cultiv.ating the flower of expression. It seems to m that the students do not use this privilege like they should. Of all the subjects taught in the college we doubt very much if there is another that helps in the preparation for life as much as the one taught in the literary societies. iA. little more preparation on the work done in these societies is necessary though, if the full benefit is to be obtained . We are college students now, not high school pupils, so let us bring, well prepared, productions that will show that we are aware of this fact. If one was to look at the subscription lii::t of The Gavelyte prob– ably one of the first questions that he would ask would be, "How can you afford to run such a paper when your "paid up" subscription list is so small?" As with all magazines our subscriptions bring in a nnall per cent of the receipts. We depend almost entirely on our advertising to pay the running expenses of the publication. Our purpose here is not -to get money from those who have no interest in the work, but it is to put before the students the names of the best mer chants from which they should buy their necessities of lid'e. Among the advertisement" of The Gavelyte. can be found almost every needed commodity. When in need of something look up some mer– chant who advertirns in this paper and patronize him. Let him know that you saw his "ad." in Tb,e Ga velyte, and it will be a viery great help to the advertis ing manager when he calls upon him again for another advertisement. Boost The Gave yte in this way. PATRONIZE 01 rn ADVl'i:·1 ,'TfSERC! . PHILO NOT ES. The work of the Philo Society is progressing very nicely under the guidance of its new president, Mr. 0 . M.
