Dr. Allen has traveled extensively in Persia as a missionary,and being a fluent speaker, hewas enabled to take his aticliencewith him and give them aglimpse of that far country. Theprogram was opened with a soloby Miss Bertha Cox, which waswell rendered.

The map of Persia was thenthrown on the screen. Dr. Allenopened his lecture by referring tothat country as the cradle of thehuman race, and invited hishearers to take a journey withhim to the scene of their birthplace. Views were then shownand explained of crumbling ruinsand massive walls, covered withsculptures of flying bulls or carvings representing the triumphsof mighty kings.

After briefly reviewing the history of this wonderful land, hespoke of the great changes whichhave taken place. Persia at onetime ruled the world. Now it isa little state, of whose very existence we are scarcely aware.At one time it was the center of

are practically where they weretwo thousand years ago. Mohammedanism stretches ovcr theland like a blight, witheringevery impulse toward p1-Ogressand improvement.

One of the most interesting features of the lecture was the imitation of the cries of the streetvenders, and the songs anddirges which are chanted in thegreat parades. The discoursewas a revelation to many, whodid not realize the conditions existing in out-of-the-way cornersof this old world. Many a timewas a feeling of thankfulness expressed after the lecture that fatehad placed us in this enlightenedland. L. L. SAUNDERS.

COLLEGE-ALUMNI BALL GAME.

A new athletic feature was introduced into Commencementweek this year, in the way of abaseball game between the college and alumni. The first annual game was played Saturdayafternoon, and though the scoreran up, the contest was interesting and close and was not devoidof excitement and some goodplaying. The college boys wonby a score of 23 to 20. The

THE GYMNASTIC DRILLS.

The gvmnasti drills by thePhysical Training Departmentwere held on the girls’ tenniscourt Saturday evening. Themusic was rendered by Mrs. C.B. Wilson. It was an inspiringsight as the large class of girlsmarched onto the court, carrying dumb hells and formed ineights, facing front, every linestraight and every head erect.At the word of command theymarched to the edge of the court;then forming in two columns offours, moving in opposite clirections, executed a very complicated march. Then separating,the ladies began to manipulatetheir dumb bells. This drill continued for some time, and everymovement, as they passedthrough the different evolutions,showed careful training on thepart of the instructor, MissBritt, and hard and persistentwork on the part of the girls.

marched forward, this timearmed with Indian clubs. In thelong and difficult drill which followed, the girls displayed greatdexterity in the use of thoseweapons, so useful in thestruggle for a healthy body anda clear mind.

After this came a cluh drill bythe boys’ class, followed by abeautifully executed Delsartedrill by the girls. The drillsproved what has been accomplished in the Physical TrainingDepartment if Pacific Collegeand reflected great credit on theinstructor, Miss Britt.

CLASS DAY.L.L.S.

The college chapel has beenfilled many times, but it hasnever been packed as it was Saturday evening, when the classday exercises were given. Theprogram was opened with a“musical spasm” by the entireclass, a medley which lackednothing but tune and terminalfacilities. A poem of merit wasread by the class poetess, MissEthel Heater. Curt Parker, announced as the “Macaroni” ofthe Pacific Coast, gave a mockexhibition of wireless telegranhv,

and succeeded iii ringing the cowbell. This was a good “takeoil” on Prof. Aibertson, of thescience department, which washighly appreciated. Chas. Davidson, garbed as Father Time,turned the wheel of fate andground out the destinies of theclass, or rather the membersthemselves busily engaged intheir future occupations. MissAgnes Hammer and Miss 1-leaterimpersonated Miss Britt and thenovice, respectively, in a lessonwith Indian clubs. ReubensteinM aris and Padereu-ski Parkerpunished the piano with an instruincntal duett. The last nartof the evening’s entertainmentwas the presentation of Prof.Kelsey’s first night out with hisconcert company, the scene being laid at the “Skunkhohler”opera house, admission fifteencents, with a collection taken tipbefore the audience was released.Mans posed as impersonatorKnox, Coulson, Davidson andDailey making up the rest of thequartette, the other members ofthe class serving as an appreciative audience. A stereopticonentertainment followed, manyscenes from college life being

thrown on the canvas. Thenumbers of the program were interspersed with “New York andParis” brand of music via phonograph. A class song terminated the fun of the evening.

BACCALAUREATE SERVICES.A fine audience filled the

Friends church Sunday morningand listened to an eloquent sermon by President McGrew uponthe theme of indebtedness. Inthe first of his discourse hetraced the debt of our presentday civilization to that of thepast, to the heroes of the vanguard of progress, throughouthistory, who mouldcd theirtimes. The story of our iuclebtedness to those who have gonebefore us is a long one, and weare unconscious of the obligationresting upon us. It is an inestimable inheritance. Sweet arethe possibilities of culture, hutthey have been wrought withmuch labor. The pierced handof Christ pointed out to Paul hisgreat debt. He acknowledged itand spent his life in its payment.That hand still points to theperishing today and calls to youand me the remembrance of ourdebt. Don’t wait. Begin pay-

irig that which you owe now.

The world needs the message of

faith and love and hope.President MeGrew recalled to

the students before him the morepersonal debt they owed toparents and to those who hadmacic their education possible.

He urcc1 them to invest themselves to meet their obligations.The speaker painted a beautifulword picture of the gloTes of

majestic Mt. Hood and of theresources of field and wood andplains which are debtor to it. Asthe mount of eternal snows paysits indebtedness to nature andthe comforts of mankind, so heurged his young hearers to realize their obligation as fromabove and to pour out throughlife their blessings upon a needyworld. “Give the world thebest you have and the best willcome back to yoti.”

ADDRESS TO TilE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS.

It was with much pleasurethat the young people, especiallythe older students, listened to

the earnest, inspiring words ofProf. C. E. Lewis Sunday evening, when he delivered the annual address to the Christian

associations of Pacific College.I-Ic took for his text the words,“I will surely buy it of thee, for Iwill not make an offering to theLord my God which costeth menothing.” The value of an offering is in its cost. The widowgave her mite, hut it was alsoher all, and it typified the trueoffering. Such an offering meansmunch. Too many harvests areso scanty, there is little that canhe given. To the young peoplehe said: An offering of pure, cleanlives means a putting away ofthe dross. A true life must hestrong as well as pure, and thestrong life must be carved in virtue. Bring an offering rich inknowledge and in knowledge ofGod, and rich in sympathy andlove. The call for service andoffering comes from scenes ofdisaster and devastation, fromcorrupted cities, from industrialstrife, from the sinning ones andthose living handicapped lives.I have no sympathy with the crythat the world is growing worse.We are growing toward thelight. God’s world is full ofneed, but when the college youngpeople bring to the Lord theiroffering of young lives, pure,

1

strong, rich and sympathetic,the needs of the world will hemet.GRADUATING EXERCISES OF THE

ACADEMY.

fhe graduating exercises of theSenior Academy Class were heldin the Friends church Tuesdayafternoon. There were fifteengraduates, as follows: BeatriceBates, Carrie Nevitt, Everettileacock, Roy Bates, Ruth Wiley,John Dunham, Ethel Cook, Roscoe Cahill, Phil Rinehart, ShunPearson, Zelia Hall, WalterSpaulding, Mahelle Gardner,Huber Havorth and WilliamBatty.

When we consicler that the orators werechosen at random and representthe average of the whole class,we can not help but expect greatthings from the class of ‘07 in thenext four years.

The rousing address of Prof.Kelsey was one calculated tostimulate the ambition of everystudent. His theme was the twogreat ideals and necessities of lifetoday, “A trained mind and atrue heart.” L. L. S.

THE ALUMNI ANNUAL RECITAL.

The annual public meeting ofthe Alumni was held Mondayevening in the Friends church before a large audience.

The music of the evening was ofunusual quality. The piano duetrequired great skill, and was rendered in an admirable manner.

)‘iiss Brewer’s playing was

worthy of her reptitatioii, arId

she was given an enthusiastic re

ception. Mrs. FloreticeE. Moores

of Saleiti is an accomplishedsinger. I-Icr solos were greatlyappreciated ai id in any fcvorahlecomments were made upon her

work.The Altunni had expected G.

T. Tolson, ‘97, to give an ad

dress, l)llt as he could rIot be

present, Mr. Pickett was put in

as the emergency man, and with

a splendid pnll)er upon ‘‘TheNational Problem,’’ he redeemedthe situation.

XV. C. Woodwarci, president of

the Alumni, read an interestingpaper on the theme, “Does aCollege Education Pay?” “The

college graduate is judged by the

business world from a mercenarystandard, and his success rated

by the dollars he coins. Thegraduate with ideals which hewishes to put in practice is oftenturned down as impractical.The result is mutual disappointment; the world becomes cynicaland the graduate discouraged.The trouble is all in the point ofview as to what a college education is for, what it is and what

it can do. The world is establishing a false standard of spiritual and material values. Theyoung person who goes throughcollege without having obtaineda love for good hooks, an appreciation of the beautiful and a

thirst for truth, will never graspthe meaning of life. Collegesdon’t manufacture brains; theydevelop them. The world expects the college to grind out auniform product from all kindsof material. Education is a matter of desire, not of machinery.Education may not bring wealth,but it will bring fullness of life.Abilities differ and many mustoccupy humble positions. Andhere is the field of needed service,a call for one and two-talentcharacters who will put theirtreasures in circulation aboutthem. Success is not measuredby rank, but by faithfulness. Be

ambitious, strive hard, be allyou can be, hut don’t sulk because you can’t he what theother fellow can. Be somethingbesides a machine; be a man. If

you can’t be great, be true.”

Mr. Pickett centered the governmental question in the government of the municipality. He

6 THE CRESCENT. THE CRESCENT. 7

said that upon the way theproblems of goverotnent ar met

depends our existence as a nation. No political pa1v can adjust the problem, for most ofthem are non-political. Manyof the moral reforms are neededbecause of the failure of ourmunicipal governments. Thereis no reason why, with time anda little patience, American municipal government should not hebrought abreast of other govcrnmental institutions. The reason for the slow growth ofmunicipal government is thatthe framers of the Constitutionwere dealing with settling a newcountry and not with congestedcities. The function of the municipalitv needs revision. The stategovernment should exercise allthe fundamental rights of government, while the responsiblegoverning body of a city shouldhe the municipal legislature.Members of a municipal legislation do not represent diverse interests. Every member of amunicipal legislature should beelected by the city as a whole.Another step toward improvement is the segregation of municipal elections from politics.

Public franchises should be disposed of to the highest responsible bidder. Anything like valuereceived for right and privilegesthat have been disposed of rightand left with such prodigalitywould place municipalities upona paying basis.

COMMENCEMENT.

An unusually large audiencewas present Tuesday morningat the regular Commencementexercises. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasionwith maiden hair ferns and pinkroses.

The program began with awell rendered piano solo by Mrs.Albertson, the other music of themorning consisting of two vocalnmnbers by Stuart McGuire ofPortland, a young man ofmarked ability as a soloist.

The class oration was veryably delivered by D. DwightCoulson. He traced graphicallyour national progress and discussed the debt of our new civilization to that of the old world,partictilarly to our new dependencies. The fields before us arenot for victories of conquest, hutof culture. Our future victories

must not he over our brother,

but with him.Dr. Alexander Blackburn de

vercd an impressive and mas

terful address upon “The Place

of the Denominational College

iii our Educational System.”

The problem of humanity iseducational from the cradle

on through life, and the

speaker, while not deprecating the work of state institu

ti ons, sh owed UI) tIle importance

of the denonmiuational college as

doing a work peculiar to itself.

The churches need such schools

as educational centers, which

will unify and cement their genct-al interests. Denominational

schools frirnish fields for valuableservice for some of our best educators, who would not he known

or found in state institutions.

The tendency of the church

school is not so much towardspecialization. It’s a mistake to

specialize too early. The su

preme (‘unction of a college is to

make a MAN, not a machine.

The great problem of the young

person is to find himself, and the

church school cultivates that

fulness of life which assists in

this great purpose. The corn-

idete man must be trained spirituallv. The speaker closed withan earnest appeal for support ofthe denominational college, theearnest, enthusiastic spirit ofwhich cannot be transferred tocold print.

President McGrew made a fewtimely remarks to the class, thel:evnote of which was, “Go notto receive what the world owesyou, but to give what you owethe world.” He then conferredthe degrees as follows: The degree of B. S. upon ClarenceDailey, Chas. Davidson, AgnesHammer, Owen Mans and CurtParker; the degree of A. B. uponDwight Coulson, Lucy Gauseand Ethel I-{eater.ALUMNI BUSINESS MEETING AND

BANOUET.

On Tuesday afternoon the annual business meeting of theAlumni Association was held,when the officers were re-lected,as follows: President, W. C.Woodward, ‘98; vice presidentand treasurer, W. S. Parker, ‘99;secretary, Jessie Britt, ‘99.

In the evening the banquet tothe new members of the association was given in the collegelibrary, which was very taste-

The underlying theme of thewhole conference was “To KnowHim.’’ The conference hymn wasThe nierey of God is an oeesn divine,

A bOll nfl less and fat ho ness flood.Len ucli out in to tie deep, iii t away the shore

line,And be lost in the fullness of God. Etc.

A program similar to the followilIg was carried out each of the tendays of the conference: The risingbell rang at 6:30, and from 7 o’clockuntil 7:30 was the quiet hour, andfollowing this was breakfast. At 9o’clock we convened for the StudentConference, which was led by Bertha Conde. In this we discussedproblems and plans of associationwork. At io o’clock were twoBible classes. One was in the Lifeof Christ, taught by Mr. Welds,and the other in the Acts of theApostles, taught by Dr. Brown.

THE CRESCENT.

Then at ii o’clock Arthur Rugh had charge of the ‘‘Mission

arv Institute,” ill which we considered the needs and plans

of missionary work in our colleges. At 11:45 Mrs. John R.

Mott told tis in a very clear and earnest way the condition

and needs of China, India and Japan. Mrs. Mott has visited nearly every mission station in the world and thoroughly

understands the conditions and needs of these. We hadlunch at 12:30, and the afternoon was mostly given up torecreation. In the evening we had dinner at 6 o’clock, andMiss Conde conducted a Personal Workers class at 7:20.

From S to 9 o’clock we listened to a platform address by oneof the leaders. After that we had our delegation meetings,

Each service seemed to be a link in the chain of emphasizing the need of a life of complete consecration in order toreally know Him. It would be impossible to tell the impressions and blessings received from the conference. Several girls consecrated their lives to work for their Master inforeign lands, and each girl went home with a deeper realization of the fathomless depths of God’s love and of the needof “launching out where the full tides flow” and placingherself entirely under God’s control if she would be a powerfor Him each day of her life.

The Pacific Northwest Student Conference.

The first annual conference of the V. M. C. A. in thePacific Northwest has come and gone. Seventy-six delegatesfrom twenty-six institutions have left Gearhart Park, leavingtheir testimonies to echo the word “Success” for future conferences. For a long time the colleges of Oregon, Idaho,Washington and Montana have felt the need of this summerschool. In the midst of the beautiful surroundings of Gear-hart Park the first conference met to make its first traditions.

Nearly all the delegates arrived at Gearhart May 29th. Inthe evening the opening session was held. Like all conferences, the object is to promote Christian fellowship; to bringthe different institutions into closer touch with problems ofV. M. C. A. work as a whole, and to raise the standard andpolicy of association plans of work. This was truly acconapushed under the leadership of ten of the strongest men thatare engaged in the work.

Every forenoon was given up to the conference work.At eight o’clock the missionary conference was held. Thiswas conducted by Arthur Rugh, Traveling Secretary StudentVolunteer Movement. Next after this session was the Biblestudy classes, of which there were three. They were taughtby Prof. E. I. Bosvortb, one of the greatest thinkers andspeakers we have, and by Mr. Rodes and Reno Hutchinson,all of whom have exceptional ability to lead Bible classes.Colton, secretary international committee, talked during thethird session of the forenoon upon the many associationproblems. The fourth and last session was given to platform addresses by Prof. Bosworth of Oberlin, Ohio, Colton,Dr. House, President Penrose of Whitman and Dr. \Vilsonof Seattle.

The afternoons were given entirely up to various athletic sports. Baseball was the most popular game, and allvcnt out for a good time and plenty of exercise. After theafternoon’s recreation, the life work meetings were held outon the beach at a spot that was dedicated especially for thatmeeting. These meetings were conducted by Arthur Rugh,a Student Volunteer, who will soon go into the missionaryfield in India.

The conference closed June 7th, and with it closed whatwas to the delegates a talk with God and with men whoknow and love Him. The time of the conference for the ensuing year will be changed for various reasons. Owing to

the amount of work Cotton has, he will have, next year, anassistant secretary, who will work only in the Pacific Northwest.

Yes, the conference was a success. It has inspired mento do greater work. It has begun the traditions to be addedto by future conferences, and has set them high.

A. KRAMIEN, ‘04.

At the business meeting of the C. A. L. 0., held at McMinnville June 4th, the withdrawal of Dallas College fromthe League was accepted, Dallas having refused to remain inthe League any longer. This situation is the result of thequestion about the basket ball championship, which was before the executive committee in February. The championship lay between Dallas and 0. S. N. S. The committeedecided to award the pennant to Monmouth. Dallas was socertain that the judgment of the committee was wrong andunfair that they have withdrawn from the league. Thisyear only three schools contested in the field meet. Albanywon so easily, and they lacked so much of paying expenses,that they have said they will probably not be in the meetnext year if they have as good a team as they have had thisyear. That would leave only three schools to appear in themeet, and unless Monmouth does better than they did thisyear, it will amount to only a dual meet between P. C. andMcMin nville.

Professor Robert Jones, an alumnus of P. C. of tile classof ‘02, who has been professor of mathematics in ColumbiaCollege the past year, has been elected to fill a similar position in P. C. for next year. He came Elown to Newbergin time to take in all the Commencement features.

We areglad to be assured that he will return to us the followingyear. Professor R. W. Kelsey severs his relations with P.C. at the close of this year. He has spent three years at P.C., and during that short time has rendered the school aninestimable service. While he has been here he has beenthoroughly a Pacific College man, and has inspired life andenergy into the whole student body. He is a man of untiring energy and one who is dead in earnest. His exampleof activity has been an education to the students in itself.His services to the school, and to the students individually,in oratory and debating, have evoked a sincere gratitude tohim. We bid him good bye with regret; but since we mustlose him, we wish him the greatest success in the workwhich he enters.

The Crescent extends a welcome to Prof. C. E. Lewis,who will be acting president next year, and to Prof. R. W.Jones, who has been elected professor of mathematics.

Commencement, with its diversity of pleasures and sorrows, has come again. Every day has been brimming overwith things of unusual interest. The usual scenes of parting have been re-enacted. The satisfaction that accompanies the thought of work accomplished is shared by all.Vacation is welcomed with the erstwhile joy. The anticipation of going home makes glad those who have been awayfrom home. The school year has been long and strenuous,and the change is heartily welcomed. The bustle and excitement of commencement has been here in all its fury.
