Last Night’s Lecture Professor Boucke in his lecture of last night discussed “The Will to He first showed that the will was not an imaginary quality but a reality, moving and working in everyday life. He admitted that it had its limitations, but maintain ed that it was a social necessity as seen in matters of jurisprudence, religion and economics, and that it had the definite purpose of service and the development of one’s self. The working of this will is opposed by certain obstacles in its way. Striving is always better than pos session, and there are certain exter nal and internal obstacles that are often difficult to master. One of the chief elements in the practice of this will to live, however, is op timism —the ability to look over and beyond obstacles and failures and sec the brighter and more at tractive side of life, to see the in herent goodness of man, the beauty of nature, and the law of progress even when events seem to indicate anything but progress. Finally, this will is seen at its best in self-devel opment. Every man is his own photographer, he knows or should know himself; only he can truly judge of his progress; his will makes him the master of his own salvation.

The hospital benefit, "The Hand of the Prophet” was played last Friday night before a good sized audience. The stage setting, costumes, singing, orchestra, and brilliant lighting effects blended together to transform the_ Auditor ium into a veritable oritenial scene. The solo and several dances to gether with the lines were well done but the entire production lacked action, the articulation of the sing ers was poor and most, of the dances were halting due seemingly to lack of rehearsals.
