Both faculty n.nd s tudents w e r e well rr>pr Psen t ed and the good attendance ot the general publfc was tratl!ylng.
The proposition : "Resol ved: That the Eighteenth Amendment S hou ld Be Repealed," was the subjec t ot the debate. Northwester n upheld the a tflrmative a nd St. Viator the negative. Hon.

The Northweste l'n debate rs opened the arg ument. Mr. Rober t Rowlette Was the flrst speake r tor the a ffi rmative. Mr. Rowlette first acknowledged the hospitality or hi s hosts.

His illustrated speech was both instructive a nd convincing. Mr. Stanford Clinton, third s peaker for the Northwes t ern team, r emarked in his opening a ddress tha t h e had n ever be· !ore m e t with s uch a n extraordinary and convincing a rgument as the one ju~t completed . By way o! explanation it might be added t hat the Northwestern debating team was a t that time on an extensive t our a nd had m e t many o1' the best team s of the Middle West. Mr. C1inton 's compliment, the r efore , meant ln uch to the assembly. The final conStruc tive sp eech was delivered by Mr. J . Allen N olan. Mr. Nolan, a polished orato r and debate r, was wisely chosen b;y F a ther Maguire !or the final speech. Mr. Nolan's clear, pleasing voice, his precise diction, togethe r with his splendid, convincing argument h eld the audience aJrno:::>t rigid !or the enUre speech.
A five minute interval was allowed between the final constructive speech and the opening r ebuttal. This interval gave the debaters an opportunity of confe r ring a mong them selves, and of cc;n sulting their data. The Via torians opened the rebuttal speeches . There is 'n o doubt but that the Negative debaters surpassed the Northwestern team in the m a tte r ot r ebutta ls. Messrs. Nolan,

Our North American Martyrs Sappho The Small College By RAYMOND BOYSEN By M. M. MURPHY By ROBERT 0. BARNETT
America Is stm a. youthful n a tion. Discover ed barely five hundred years o..go, lt Cllnnot point to a long career among til e nations , nor to a lis t of g loriou s names r eaching back to the dlnl aged of antiquity. Yet on h er seroUs a.re inscrib ed s uch names as Washington, Franklin , Lincoln , Roose· velt , names of w hich a n y nation might be proud. These and s imilar great American s have con f erred honor on their country and have incr eased Its prestige am on g the countries of tho world. But far g reat e r , t houg h not written on the scrolls of time, t ar more distinguished, thoug h not in t h e h al ls ot tame, are othe r names written on the b a nners of H eaven, a nd a t·e other m en r aised upon the a ltars of our churches.-th e marty r s of North America. Since t h ese m en th en a r e so glorious, and so eminently worth y of our admiration, it would be well that we consider the s tory of their heroic labors and sufferings.
The first of our Amet·ican mar· tyrs attained their g lorious c rown in New M exico only fifty years s ubsequ ent to the discovery ot Amedca. They were two Franciscans, Fathe r Padllla and Brother John of the Cross, who accompanied Coronado in his expedition through the valley of the Rio Grande aiid r em ained to labor among the Indians. W hile tra ve ling to the t own of Tuivera they were both pierced with arrows by a ba nd of rov ing Indians. Other Franciscans soon followed these f earless m en . Many sank benea th the In.dian tortures but their places were tilled b y others and b efore long whole tribes were con verted to Christ.
The Franciscans, D ominicans and Jesuits combined to carry the spiritual conquest into Florida. Here the. ardent zeal of three generations of martyrs received its r ecompense a nd the Seminoles o! Florida, as one, embraced Christianity.
In the North, the J esuits and the Recollects of France devoted their lives with heroic f ervor to the winning of souls. The first American mission was founded in 1611 among the A.benak.i in Maine. This peaceable tribe was easily won ovev aDd the mission long maintained its vigor and fervor. Afte r the fa)l -or Acadia, h'owever, the English spread fire and death throughout this co·untry. The missionaries w er e driven out, churches destroyed, and the Indians deprived of a ll consolations of the faith. Father Rale, long an object of ven· geance to the English, was finally surprised at Ws mission and killed. So firmly, however , h a d the faith been grounded into the hearts of the Abenald that they p ersever ed in their suffe rings and even to this day remain Catholics as their forefathers were f or centuries.
From 1625 to 1650 our m issionaries labored among the Hurons, and the IroQuois and here we behold our most glorious m artyrs. The "Five ·Nations" of the Iroquois engaged in a lmost perpetual war with the Hurons. After tWenty~five years they could boast of having overcome the Hurons, but not until they had also cut down nine J esuit missionaries. The first of these martyrs were Father Jogues and Rene Goupil. While traveling in the Huron Country, they were surprised and captured by the Mohawks. Afte r being beaten senseless , t heir nails torn out and their fingers gnawed to the bones, they were hurried into the Iroquois count ry. As they passed each village t hey were forced to run the f earful gauntle t, and were dragged to the scaffold where they were bruised, burnt a nd tortured, their wounds being opened ~th awls and the hair of their beard and h ead pulled out. Tied to the ground at night, they writhed in vain to escape the hot coals thrown on them by children. Rene Goupil, the bosom friend of Jogues, was finally killed when h e was discovered tracing the sign ot the cross on a n Indian child. Father Jogues, h owever, remained a captive for fifteen months. H e learned their la n guage, performed seventy baptisms, and had dreams of convertin g this fierce tribe t o Christ. Amld his suffe rings and trials, b e was tilled with a h oly joy. Carving the name of Jesus on the trees, h e longed to im· print it in the heart of the r edman. A new plot on his lite, however, made h im fl.nally consent t o escape with the Dutch in New York from w h ence he returned to France. The mutilated hero, in!lamed with love for souls , soon r eturned t o his Indians. During a shOrt p eriod of peace in 1 646, he was sent to the Iroquois , this time a.s their missionary. No sooner h a d he entered their mids t, h owever, than h e was cu t down by a toma h awk. Thus died Father Jogues, the tirst missionary to the Mohawks, w ho by s u!tering a nd heroism more than by his la bors prepared the way t or the triumph of the c ross and the conversion ot the warlike tribe.

T he story ot h er having thrown h erself from t h e Leucadian cli ff when deserted by the ferry man P haon is almost discredited at the present time. T he black-hai r ed and la ughing eyed Sappho must have been beaut iful if r epresentations of her in art are true but she was too san e t o h eed silly s u it · ors and to hurl herself to death volun tarily. It must have been the courte· san Sappho with w hom this legend is connected .
a nd speech, such embarrassing frankness in t he expression of those most intima te sentiments, baffled them.
The very work of Sapph o proves her purity. Time has shown con clusively that noble art is born only in a n oble mind. H er poems are without do ubt g reat c reations of art. H e r w r itings a 1·e passonate but passonate writings are not a lways immora l.
The poetess left nine books a nd roll s ot poems, the s ubjects of which were so various that they w ere arranged later according to m etres, a book being de vot ed to each of the nine metres In which s he wrote. The stanza used most frequently b y h er has been a dopted by many poe ts s ince her time a nd is now called the Sapphic stanza. There remains, however, out of the wreck of time only one of he r poems in its entirety, " The H ymn to A phro· dlte," and a nother a lmost complete, that which 1s familia rly known !rom the translation by Ambr ose P hi lips , appearing in The S pec tator in 1711, as "Blest as t he Immortal Gods is He.'' Only t r agments of the othe r poems are exta n t , and these are ve ry brie r, owing to t he t act that they were largely re · corded by the ancient grammarians merely as speciments o! Aeolic dia lect.
The Iroq uois now brou g ht their war of destru ction into the land of t he Tionatates. H er e F ather Garn ier was sur · prised at his mission and s hot down. Mortally wou nded , he dragged himself to a dying Huron to give him absolution and then fell over h im, a corpse. Another Iroquois had driven a t omahawk into his skulL Father Chabanel, his companion, made good h is escape, but while making his way along to St. Mary's he was killed by an apostate Huron and his body thrown into a stream. T hus ended a career in which he had persevered against the utmost repugnance and total lack of all con·
Father Bressanl, who was sent t o la bor among the Huron s in 1644, s uf· fered a like tate. His party fell into an Indian ambuscade a nd was captured . After seeing one ot. his companions de: voured before h is eyes, F ather Bressaru was conducted to an I roquois village and obliged to r u n the fearful gauntlet. Ria hands were next sHt open between the fingers, and be was tied to the scaf· fold to be tortured. Pricked, burnt, mangled, hls body was soon a living w ound. Several ! ingers were cut of!, his hands and feet burnt and hacked twenty-six times. Led to anoth er town . h e again ran t he gauntlet and wa.s hung up by the feet in chains. T o crown all, when tied d own almost naked to the ground, food was laid on solation. his body and hungry dogs se t u pon it ---------------
Indeed, Dr. Reinach, the French literary c ritic, has undertaken a carerul analysis ot all the evidence which goes to establis h the popular idea that Sappho was ot the class of loose wom en. His conclusions are in t he rorm ot a communication to the French Academy of Inscrip tion s and Belles Lettres, and have been made public in a recent issue of the Temps. Dr. Rein· ach a ttributes the misconception o! the true character of Sappho to the writers of the comedy. The tar otf, enigmatical figure of t he chantress of Mitylen e was r eadily seized upon. The woman, who stood alone, t or the first time ln their history, at the head of a school ot m usic and poetry, who sang with s uch joy ot lite, such liberty of thought
The loss of the other poems is chiefly ~ttribu ted to St . Gregory of Nazianzus, Bishop of Constantinople. In or der t o replace earthly with heavenly love among his !lock and protect t he mind ot youth he decreed the burning of all dangerous and erroneous writings. The figure of Sappho as a shameless bac· chante had become so incorporated into literary history that those who under took the above wor k could not r eject her poems. He s ubstitu ted tor writings such as Sappho's, r eligious plays , which until h e was torn and disfigured bY

pe r so na l attention a lmost fmpoasfble . St udents Jn unl ve rsl tl <!s often mean no more to t..he school than a n ame on tho reg ister . It freq uently happenH t hat students go through w h ole t erma with· out ever reciting. A profeBsor w ho bas to teach a cla ss o·t two hundred or more canno t hope to reach a ll ot his .f::ltudent.B. He could never begln to correct a ll the Indi vidual papera. The most he can do i.f::l to r esor t to the formal lecture. Presidents and tacuHies of large universities frank ly admit that they cannot give tbe FreBhmcn, especal ly the younger F resh· m e n. a decgmte atten tion. Some of'ticers declare outright that they do not want studen ts "fresh f rom High-school". You ng, som ew ha t irresponsible students ho.ve no place In the university for the larger freedom of tlie institution is f or m en, b ut not tor the boy whose lack of s elf control must be supplemented by the oversight and direction ot the Col· lege.
Probably the great est advantage the s m a ll college ha s to offe r for its studen ts is that of the close con tac t and relatio ns hip be tween student s and t ac· ulty. This a dvan tage can n ever b e over· estimated. I n or der to have real, cdm· plete education , there must be close personal contact between pu p il and teach e r. The personality of the teach~r m us t bear upon the personality ot the Hl Udent. This can never be possible wher e there are large classes. The stu· den ts in s ma ll colleges have much in common with thei r teachers. Students meet a nd converse with thei r superiors. The impressions m ade upon the s tuden t by odd moments of asso~iation with his tea chers a r e pennanent and beneficial. T h is association is a reality in small coll~g-es. It is an unhea rd of thlng in la r~e colleges and universities.
A lthough it may seem paradoxical to m a k e such a statement, it is nevertheless t1·ue that students in small colleges make more lasting a cquaintances and valua ble friendships th"an do the stu· dents of the larger institutions. I n the small college ever ybody knows everybody. There is everything in common among the students. They are as one. The fri endships created are last· ing a nd priceless. The univers ity, on t he other hand, wi th it s thousands or students does not breed such frien d· s hips. At most a student cannot hope to make the acq ua intance of m ore than a few or his fe llows, for they are t oo scatte r ed . thei r ideas are too varied, and there is too little in common. The a..J.most il lustrious "college spirit" for which ma n y institutions are noted is often fou nd to be present on t h e athletic field only.
Present Statistics s how that sixt y pe rcent ot the students who enter large universities as Freshmen drop out be · fore the beginning of the Junior year. Thh~ astounding fact can signify but G!~t: thing ; t hE un !v~? rsity f a ils to inte · r es t a nd hold its students. Please do not misconstrue the· first statement. Note especially that the statistic di rectly specifies "the students who enter as Freshmen". The la r ge graduating classes of o ur universities are larg-ely ma de up ot advanced student s who 0n t::! r ti:o insti t ution in their Junior 0 1· Senior YNI!'.
The s mall college, therefore, has more to offer the prospective Freshman who is desirous of laying a firm foundation tor training ln the professions tha n h a s the un iversity. Such a Freshman will tmd that 1t 1s ver y much to h1s profit to consider w e ll the advantages of the s m a ll college, tor it is the small college which will prepare him to master a n y s u bject a nd to fill any post with credit. The hig h school graduate will do well t o 1·egister in the small college.

Sappho's poetry may have also disappea red on account of its h aving been written upon wooden tablets covered with wa..x or on pa pyrus. The woode n tablets have all decayed w hile the pa pyrus works m ay yet lie buried. Fra g · m enta are being discovered occasiona lly.
In 1914 . som e German digge r s in t he dust-h eaps of Oxyrhynchus in Egypt round two n ew poems of Sappho's.

Most of the \vorks ha ve been founa in, waste-heaps of deser ted v illages.

It often a ppears to have been placed 1.1 these tombs to su t,ply reading matter tor the departed s pirit.
Their decipherment has been accom plished through the painstaking eff or ts of class ica l scholars. Notable amon g these Is Professor J . M. Edmonds of. J esus College , Cambridge, England. It is inter es ting to note that the decipher· tng of these faded and m utilated man u· scripts is a task ot enormou s dlrticulty often causing impaired sigh t or perha ps nervous breakdown .

Kalamazoo now led 12 to 11. At this junction Hagan replaced KJm· ball w ho a ppeared to be weakening be· fore the Viator assault. He r etired the side without further damage. In t he seventh, O'Malley walked in on Cost!· gan's lusty triple to raise the count to 12 alt. In the eighth, a!ter Dalry rnplt5 s ingled and was forced out at second on an infield hit, Laenhardt singled and both runners advanced while Benda was being thrown out at first. O'Mai· ley's double scored both runners and gave Viator a 14 to 12 lead w hich they maintained until the finish. Umpire Cusack of Chicago handled the e-ame in fin e style.
