emerge better rounded, more fully developed, with a better un derstanding and with a broader view of the world in which we shall some day fill a niche. Books, classes and instructors are, however, not the only new things in college for along the walks, in the halls and at the din ing tables new faces meet us where once, familiar ones greeted us. A slight glance from the Senior, a passing notice from the Junior, and a little detective work oh the part of the Sophomore probably constitutes the extent of attention received by the new men out side of that shown them by the'Entrance Committee and the Registrar. Nevertheless we are pleased to see the new men and mentally wish them a heartier welcome than would be wise to tell them, for upon them depends the future of the college. Members of the Freshman class,, the Free Eancb sends you greeting and in the name of State we' extend to you the hand of good fellowship.
