sophomores the football and the relay race being declared off on account of a foul the games were the most inter esting ones held for a number of years the first event was the one mile relay race run in five relays this was won by the sophomores but was protested on the grounds that thornton who ran the last relay was assisted across the line the judges sustained the protest and declared the race off following is a list of the runners : 1901 1902 james hamilton krauss parsons anderson lindley armstrong morgan thornton bohannou the baseball game resulted in a victory for the freshmen by a score of 7 to 6 the game was not noticeable for any brilliant work on either side parsons 1902 made several fine stops and catches and both pitchers were fairly effective the score is as follows : :

similar occasions in recent years the students as usual occupied the transcept while the faculty trustees alumni and friends filled the nave the musical program was one which has not been equalled in the history of the chapel while the address was equally enjoyed the choir under the direction of pro fessor wolle was ably assisted by miss lucy k brickenstein so prano miss helen shields con tralto rev s u mitman tenor mr s p heitshu first bass mr ji b fichter second bass pro fessor wolle first rendered an organ voluntary following which the hymn fling out the banner was sung the lesson and prayer were read by rev f m bird the final number rendered by the choir was the chorus prayer and finale from lohengrin professor langdon c steward son delivered an address on origin and destiny the sub stance of his address was as follows : the problem of the beginnings of things i possessed of irresistible attractions for the children of men ; a fact for which we have a mass of evidence in prehistoric ages for example men were confronted with the marvel of fire and sought forth with to explain its advent by the myth of prometheus they were fcbrought face to face with the wonders of the universe and framed among others th legendary theory of their origin we find in genesis the varieties of language also were a mystery to them and so they constructed the stoiy of the tower of babel to account for their beginnings passiug from the mythical to the philosophical era of development the question of origins still maintains its outstanding chara ter homer and hesiod had indeed ascribed to oceanus and tethys the origin of all things but the first greek philosophers emancipating themselves from myttiical conceptions sought to interpret nature by tracing her phenomena to some natural source one found it as we all remember in water another in air while a third the most famous of them all carried the sum of phenomenal existence back to primitive atoms alike in quality but differing in weight and siz and saape but if the past showed interest in the origins of things the present is ever yet more zealous in their pursuit list sum mer while browsing about among the new book displayed upon the shelves of a london bookstore my eye was attracted by a certain remarkable similarity in their titles there was one book called the origin and growth of the united states there was another entitled the origin and growth of plato's republic and there again a third bearing in great gilt letters upon its blue cover the fascinating inscrip tion origin and growth of the moral instinct wherever i looked in fact the word origin started into view ani this experience trivial though it was.impressed me as a striking testimony to the promi nence which origins or beginnings occupy iv current thought in fact not in one departme i t alone but in all we fiad the search for origins in course of vigorous prosecution the philosopher probes for first principles the chemist anal yzes for elements the philologist digs for roots biology for more reasons than one is busy with th > earliest and simplest forms of life while ethnology is profoundly con cerned with primitive peoples — their lan guage religion laws again astronomy has to all intents and purposes demonstrated the ne ulous origin of our planetary system while geology has traced in great outlines and through vast and bewildering reaches of time the history of the earth jmvver.in fact has the search for origins been more earnest and widespread than at the present day the search for origins does not necessarily mean retreating to the earliest ages or camping out with paleolithic man the endeavor to ascertain the causes of social corruption and advancement is occupying the heads of our political reformers and everywhere throughout the laboratories of europe and america thoughtful students are investigating the germs of disease the beginnings of evil here it is that the practical consequences of the search for origins springs into the eyes to use a german idiom of the veriest phiistine pasteur and koch by ascertaining the causes of certain maladies have been able to prevent or cure them the science of sani tation and hygiene discovered the begin nings of plague nd pestilence in human filth and what have been the conse quences not only have we cleaner and more sightly streets but choleia which in former ages swept the laud like a scourge is little feared whi.e typhus once so dreadful in its ravages is only seldom heard of again by finding out the real cause of insanity by learning that it was not due to demoniacal possession but to bodily disease many a poor distracted soul has been spared the torture of an unmerited sorrow while from the heart of judge and caretaker alike h-is been lifted the carse of an uncalled for cruelty by means of the search for origins we find a practical opportunity for the satisfac tion of our iatellectul needs by tracing complex or highly organized paenomena back to their simplest observable phenome na the human mind is a ile to discover a certain continuum througnout the whole of any given series the simpler the forms the more readily in many cases the funda mental elements characteristic of any class of phenomena reveal themselves iv pro topla.sm the biologist can study the basic activities which pervade all life in the roots of speech the philologist can observe the elements which run through all the higher and more complicated forms of language in the faiths of primitive peoples the anthropoligist can discern the common rudiments of all religion thus it is that a certain identity or sameness is diseeruible among the most diverse phenomena hy drogen remains identical with itself through all the many forms of combination in which

as dissimilar as those of the fuegians and christians reveal a comuaou faith in a diviue power by means of these funda mental likenesses unity emerges out of the very bosom of diversity mid the riotous multitude of phenomena are marshalled into coherent and continuous ranks furthermore by means of the search for origins not only is there revealed a common principle or element which unites all the members of a given series but also an order of sequence in the flow or succession of things there are recurrences rythms har monies the ranks keep time as they march by — heir evolutions are
