For the sake of the cause, and with due apologies to both the college and pos:c;c;;sor>' of mitomobilcs, kt ns, for this once, consider our worthy temple of knowledg·e as a mere automobile. Of course this "auto" is the hest make in all the land. What can be a more suitable name for it than, "The Little Clin:.ber"? For indeed it is now showing itself as such. The cni;rine and ~asoline of thiSt nrnc11ine may be represented by the trustees and finance of the roolle~e. Our worthy dt>an is the steering wheel; the faculty the rcg-nl:i~or, and the president the ac- celerator; our past. record;; may 1·ig-htly he called the speedometer. And the :rules and regulations of the college serve as the brake~. The student body as a whole makes up the body of this machir.e. The wheels with the ptU1cture proof tirt"s are the propellors or the efforts put forth by the slLidents to keen the body movil1g on towards sue~ cess and wisdom. To this machine ha~ rc,;ently been added a huge top in the form of the summer ~rhool of "Nineteen hundrc,d :md · fr?- teen." Om: chauffeur fa the greatest of virtues, "Love," brotherly lo've for one another, and for the best interests of -the college and humanity in general". The two h,;ad lights of this "Little Climber" are the two literary societies ;the Philo~ophic and and the Phila- delphi:m. There was formerly a tail light in the form of the Criteri.011 society, which flickered away fm· a time hut ha~ finally hcr.omr, ex- tinguished. These societies all ·have their places, hut it is the Phil~- sophic in which we arc most interested. This sotiety is kep: glo-win~ by the best of material; the inexhaustib]-, supply of sparks of gen- ius that radiate from the mind of every member. It is the part of this machine which i;ives the student \Jody an insight into the fmest arts of the world. It will always- bP "~ light tinto their feet" .in '.he years to come.

Doubtless· the one event which brot the mos.i p!easm·e to the p:reatest numhe1· of students of Cedarville Summer School was th,~ expedition undertaken :md carrier! out or, Wednesday, July 14th. The day was one of tense a!ld thrilling- excitBrncnt. .The· fair "Fraulines," devotees of Sumn,c.r ·.School snorts, were mystcrio1rnly engaged in concocting wonderful picnic dainties and the boyf, _ wel'e :just as zealous in securing means of transnorfation for the crow<l. , At 5 p. m. all assernhlcd :it the l\fahi Hall 0f the "Univel'sits" and the exodus to Ferndale l'ark began.
