T CHAPEL HOUR. T would not be right for us to publish our paper without a few words about our chapel hour, which might also be called the "social hour," as at that time everyone gets to see everyone else and has a chance to talk of something besides lessons. The bell peals loudly and soon there is heard a sound of treading feet from all parts of the building, and crowds of bright faced student come from upstairs and downstairs and from recitation rooms along the corridor. The dignified Seniors come in with grave faces and stately tread, looking right properly shocked at the foJlishnes of those about them and, taking their seats in the very front row, look around upon the rest of us FOOr mortals a if to say," ow you children will have to take a back seat." Soon the Juniors appe:i.r and, not even deignini; to look at the Senior , go to the very back row and take theiT places. They do not think that it is any sign of supe– riority or any advantage either to sit iri the front row, for from the back seats one can get a good view of the world in general and can see everything that happens, besides. The intervening seats are soon filled with gay Sophomores, foolish Freshmen, and illy little Preps, all talking at once and each one trying to make himself heard, while here and there are studious ones who are trying in vain to study a little bit in the few minutes befor... the exercis~s begin. Everyone seems especially happy this morning and we soon see the cause of it when who but our honored pre ident, who, every week or o, comes up from Cin– cinnati to see us, ascends the platform.

Pr, f. Sanderso'.1, arisi :1g, tarts the tune in a high tenor voice and- the faculty sings. Prof. Jurkat' deep base voice blending well with Pr if Ervin's sopraLO and Prof. Anderson's alto, while Prof. McChe ney and Dr. McKinney look mildly around to see what is the trouble, but the tudents are all looking innocently at the ceiling for the tune and saying nothing. \i\ 7 hen the first verse has been well rendered by the faculty quartet, the Dr. suddenly jumps to his feet and, pounding loudly on th e de k, says, "l don't want any mor uf thi, foolishness now all of you sing." A perfect bur t of song greet our ears and the remaining two verses are ung through with great vigor. After the devotiona I exerci e. we are favored with a speech from our president, in which he commend U!-- fc· r our gnod de ds and reproves us for our had one ,(mostly the latter)and after lecturi. g on this subject fir rnrne minute , during whi h time no on eems to he one bit interested and everyone look decidedly bored, he announce that, every on who- ha. n't paid' his tuition would plea e come to him iu hi offi e and all who have ex u es fur absence (rom school mu t report tu him or they would get 1ew in their recitation.
