The entire cadet corps formed a military escort for the body in its passage from the residence off the Campus and the played the dirge to which the proces- sion moved. ; Rev. Father J. B. Gleissner, pastor of St. Joseph’s Catholic church, Bryan, officiated at the funeral and paid high tribute to the character and influence of Sergeant Kenny during his con- nection with the College, where he was universally popular. The presence of floral tributes attested the love and esteem in which the departed official was held in the College community. Due to a change in plans the body was interred in the Bryan cemetery, immediately following the funeral services at the residence, and while it was impractical to march the cadet corps that distance, many friends of the family accompanied the body to its last resting place. Pall bearers for'the occasion were chosen from among Sergeant Kenny's most intimate associates in the Mili- tary department of the College and in- cluded Sergeants Frank Tyler, John C. Hyland, J." J. Howard, George Smart, Lee Barker and Forest J. Cas- ner. H. B.

He pictured the great changes that had come in the scientific and indus- trial world but declared it his chief pur- pose to discuss the new social ideals. He declared that the modern pilgrim would not leave his family and home city as Bunyan’s Pilgrim did but would stay and work for their betterment. Reciting the methods by which a man is measured Dr. Tolman pointed out that this is accomplished by his vision of life, by his knowledge, by the way in which he keeps abreast of what is going on in the world, by his patriotism, by his works, by his friend- ship for others, and finally by his at- titude toward God. No matter what a man’s achievement in the world may be if he has ceased to maintain the right attitude or relationship toward God and his fellows, his life is a fail- ure, the speaker concluded, in an elo- quent appeal to the students to make their lives count for the most jin these two vital connections. | Mrs J. Webb Howell of Bryan fa- vored the audience with a beautiful vocal solo, in which she was accom- panied by E. P. Arneson. H. M. Eliot, farm management specialist of the Extension Service, who has been loaned to the War De. partment for special work with the soldiers at the base hospital at Camp Travis, spent Sunday on the Campus.
