We should be able to grow and do something.’’ ♦V AT A SISTER COLLEGE The relationship that exists between Elon and Defiance should prompt a de lire on the part of each to know and understand the other better. Because of the privilege that has been ours of being intimately associated with the activities of botli colleges we have de eided to write something of the life tore, in response to ‘‘Daddy” Dono van’s request that au article be sub mitted for the department iu the col lege paper that he sponsors. The town of Defiance has a historic interest. Old Fort Defiance was once located here on the banks of the Mau mee Eiver. The historic spot is still pointed out, but the old fort is no more. A beautiful town library stands on the ground formerly marked by this old landmark. Three rivers intersect with in the town limits. The fort was at the junctiou of two of the rivers so the •pot is one of natural beauty as well “ of historic interest. There are ap- ptoiimately 9,000 people living in the town. The college community, at least * mile from the business section of Hefiance, terminates Northern Clinton street. In two minutes one can be ont in tile country after leaving the “llpge campus. Defiance College had its beginning m the Defiance Seminary, which was iJicorporated by special legislative ac tion in 1850. The first bnilding w’as greeted in 1884. It struggled along «»til 1896, when an attempt was made 0 interest the Christian Church in the venture. In 1903 the reorganization church affiliations were established, f Christian Biblical Institute • ‘ Tork State merged its activi- with those of Defiance and imme diately this new addition became the Defiauce Divinity School. At the pres ent time there are six buildings on the vvell-laid-out campus: Defiance hall, the oldest building; Weston hall; Teiizer the new science building; Trowbridge hall, the dormitory for ladies; Sisson liail, the dormitory for young men (and our l,ome); and the president’s home. The campus is very attractive witli its green grass (iu season of course), many trees, a gateway opening on Clinton street, aud a very pretty white foun tain iu the center of the main campus. I -I he day begins early, as the schedule J shows. The “rising bell” rings prompt- I ly—much too promptly for some of us on cold winter mornings—at 6 o ’clock Breakfast is served at 6:30. This is another bell that has a strong tendeucy to nug promptly. One might say tliat only about oue-half of the students of Defiance appear at this'meal. Classes begin at 7 o’clock. Chapel services are held twice a week and an entire hour is given over to the service. The devo tional service is held aud something of interest or instruction is provided. A good speaker is obtained whenever pos sible. Ihere are two literary societies, the Athenian and the Philoniathean! The membership of each is composed of young men and young women. The reg- ulai meetings are held every tw^o weeks aud tiie sessions are open to visitors The programs are more or less enter taiuing iu nature. There are the Span isli club, the Frencli club, English club, etc., which deal with more serious top ics. The social life of the campus is encouraged by liberal social rules. Op portunity is given daily for social re- creation and associations. The two athletic seasons have pro vided interest for every one. The foot ball season was only fairly good. The basketball season has been good aud the team has just one more game to play which will most likely determine the Northwestern Ohio Conference Championship iu favor of Defiance. A custom prevails in this section of the country of dividing the colleges of the state into conferences, the divisions be ing based on the relative size, stand ing, and other standardized features of the respective colleges. There are five colleges in the Northwestern Ohio Con ference; namely, Toledo University, Findlay, Bowling Green, Bluffton, aud Defiance. Each team plays every other team at home and abroad, and while this serves to intensify interest in a way, and certainly gives the smaller colleges a chance of competing with colleges in its own class, it does re strict in a way outside competition, aud, it seems to us, narrows the inter est in athletics at large iu the state. Thus far our boys have won every game except one, and that was lost by one point away from home. Only one game remains to be played, and even if Defiance should lose that, she would still have a fine opportunity to retain the championship, for the prob able result would be a tie in Conference Championship, and by virtue of being holders of last year’s championship the title would come to us again. It might be of interest to Elonites of other days to know that P. V. Harris, or ‘‘Pee- Tee,'’ as he is called, who played on the Elon varsity squad in 1917, is one of the stars of this year’s winning team. Uis two sensational goals in the closing minutes of play were the deciding factors in a 31-30 victory over Toledo University on Friday night. Just a personal word in closing. We are living in Sisson hall, tlie dormitory for men, where we have a suite of rooms which are comfortable and cozy. There are about 90 men in the hall, and they are about as fine a crowd of college men as we have ever seen. Their general behavior, and especially their response at special times, has been won derful, and there has grown \ip between us a spirit of comradeship that is very precious to us. They presented us with a beautiful lamp at Christmas, and on several occasions they have remembered us in a fitting way. Only recently, dur ing illness, they presented us with four beautiful bouquets of flowers,—a gift as beautiful ns it was appropriate. In tuin we liave tried to be friends to them in every way, and to fill in some small way the needs that come into the lives of boys away from home college. We call them “our boys,” and we are proud of them. They some times refer to us as “Hardy, the Dean of Men,” and “Mrs. Hardy, the Dean of the Dean of Men. ’ ^ And perhaps they are right.

Say “Show me” to the shaving cream j?ou’re using and see what answer you get. Will it soften your beard right down to the base before the breakfast bell has rung twice ? Will it leave your skin smooth and supple after every shave and give you the well-groomed look of perfect skin health? Eveiy day men are finding how much easier shaving can be made because of the speed and thoroughness with which Williams’ softens the beard.
