that lehigh was founded engineers were then 1 below the stanh dard set by classical schools this condition no longer exists if engineers retained the idea that they were toughs they showed how they could kick and kick hard the engineer has arisen to a much higher planie in educational esteem if engineers will be morally and spiritually sound honest men they will continue to rise in public opin ion still higher following another selection by the glee club mr roy a thomas coach of the university of penn sylvania baseball team and former player on the philadelphia nationi als was then introduced in re counting his remembrances of le high in former days mr thomas said : there was a time when i journeyed to lehigh and heard your yells as they re-echoed be tween the frills they appealed to me as the snappiest yells ever this meeting brings back to me my for mer relations with lehigh on the baseball diamond church people do not advertise their religion they make no effort to show in a positive way their as sociation with the church they are in a sense negative christians people go out into life to make a fortune to follow a profession or to put in their time filling social engagements and looking after their own pleasure no amusement nor recreation should interfere with our lives which is — the saving of our souls continued on second page we should be willing to under go some self-sacrifice mr thom as them related the incident of two boys in which the self-sacrifice was clearly defined we do not hesi tate to worship the acts of these boys he continued but what about the christ who died upon the cross taking your place and mine is there not more cause for wor shipping him ?
