Forty-Third Annual Commencement.
“ ‘Give the boy my best, and tell him that his old daddy does
not,’ then he caught himself—‘tell him that his father considers
him a failure.’ ”
She paused to catch her breath and then continued:
“Bobbie, you were a great big, silly goose to think that I would
break off the engagement simply because you were not a success
in that dry, old engineering course. I know that my boy does not
love that line of work, and that he took that course because he
thought I wanted him to. Why, Bobbie, dear, if you were fifty
thousand times a failure I would marry you, because I love you,
don’t vou know.”
Her face was upturned towards his, her merry blue eyes were
challenging him, and her lips were tantalizingly inviting, and he—■
well, he did just what you and I would have done.

FORTY-THIRD ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT.
The forty-third annual commencement of the Pennsylvania
State College opened Sunday of commencement week with the
baccalaureate sermon of the Rev. Dr. Lawrence M. Colfelt, of
Philadelphia. The services were held in the new auditorium, that
being teh first service held there, and over 1,500 persons were in
attendance.
Dr. Colfelt took for his subject the “Spiritualization of In
dustry,” with his text from Ezekiel i., 21: “For the spirit of the
living creature was in the wheels.” He said in part:
The prophet in' this vision caught a glimpse of the epoch in
which ,we are living. Never was the aspect of the world’s work
so fitly presented as now under the imagery of wheels.
But it is not the wonder and glory of the wheels that I would
celebrate. > The duty of the hour for all men and especially col
lege bred men is to get the spirit in the wheels. My subject there
fore is the “Spiritualization of Industry.”
