as a building set apart for clean
sportsmanship and fine athletics, and
christened it the “Memorial Gymna
sium” in honor of the soldier dead of
the college who played “the real
game to a finish.”
Dean Chas. E. Friley recounted
those events of the past year which

disrespectful thing that can be done
during prayer. A prayer is a sol
