There may be men who do not care for a friend; if so, we should not call them brutal, for gratitude for friendship is very evident in the wag of a dog s tail, in the soft purr of the cat, and in the gentle whiclcer of the horse. Most men are fond of real friends and many take a delight in winning them, but how few are willing to pay the cost of being a real friend to others. Most of us are unwilling to give that which we would receive. What would life be without friends) The relation between the college and its alumni is similar to the relationship be tween parents and children who have gone out from the home to build homes of their own. There is a common inter est. If the child suffers the parent suf fers also, and if the parent suffers the child likewise suffers.

"According to ' Claudius Clear,' in a cunent issue of the British Weekly, there are seven ways of reviewing a book, described as ' the ostentatious essay,' in which a book under consideration is scarce ly mentioned;' the hypercritical review,' in which the reviewer airs his learning and love of accuracy by pointing out minute and unimportant errors in detail; the man- of-all-work’s review,' in which the writer is careful not to indulge in any expression of opinion, and fills out his article mainly with extracts; ' the puff,' a gushing testi monial in which the author of some mod erately good book is hailed with indis criminate praise and compared favorably with the giants of literature; 'the malig nant review,' in which personal rancor ELON BACKING & TRUST CO_ tAUTHORIZED CAPITAL $25,000 We are prepared to do a general banking busi ness.
