and still I hear the blast of the whistleaud the
impatient churning of the engine a.s the natty little
steame"r leaves Stockholm. Sweden's metropolis, io
the d istance. Mothe r nod J are on deck, s training
to get n last look through our misty eyes at the f!lllt
reeeding home which we :\re lea\"ing. perhnps fore'"er. l , being a boy.,soon dry my eyes. and turn
my atte ntion to other things-involuotarily- for
many impressions c rowd theruselvcs upon me. It is
different with mother. She baa formed many more
associations than I ba\'C, and 110 she SIRnds there a
long time looking toward ho me, although she 84WI
it no longer. At las t she also turns and goes below
and I 1101 permiltecl to roam a bout a~ will.
First the bOat occupies my :ttteutiou. t pec'r up at
the pleasant looking capta in, who smih·s nt me with
approval. Boldly then I peer Into the beautiful,
well-furnished ulon. where som~ welJ.tlreS!Ied
ladies are chatting gaily. I then go down a flight
of steps and the ry thmical, pumping, churning engines. with their shiniug brass decora tions, attract
my notice for ll while.
Finishing my sun·oy of the boat I notice that we
have left t he littlo artillcinl ri\·cr with ita stony
banks and arc swiftly coun1ing upon tho beaulifu l
lak~ Malarn. Another little steamer Is at our side,
but only for a. momcut. for it is a race, and our
smaller rival forge~ ahead.
It is a bright May morning and tho ripple!! o f tho
becalmed lake dance merrily in the golden sunlight.
F.vcrytblng seerus jnyn us and happy with the birth
of spring. T he birds twitte r in their glndness as
tlu:y fly about tho groo:Hinged islands. A smile is
u pon nature everywhere. Filled with enthusiasm I
call my mother. She comes. She too Is thrilled
with the peaceful, joyou1:1 scenery, and we wonder
it AmericD. the •·promised land" of our dclltinntioo,
is 3JII beautiful uthis.
Two hount of steaming and tho lake is left behind.
We enter tho ca1ml again. Now comes the most
pleasant and interesting part of the juurney. All
along our way, nu matter whid1 way we turn, we
see green mPadows. dotted hero :1nd thuro witb tbe

work, if continued by the school in the same SJlirit
all bcgun .. cn n hardly fail to succetd . A joint committee of students ond f:~ cuhy hs,·e t·hn rJ:te of the
work. 'J'he stmlent l'OIIImittee is composetl nf one
member from each of the four l'lasses, and a member from tho &ehool ntlnrgo. We hope they m11 y
succeed In their nttem)Jts to mnke rlwtoricals some·
thing we sha11 listen to ancl pnrticiJJ:ttc in with
pleasure and ni !IO much pwlit. J.et us :til he ready
to help.
Before thi9 copy of the Pointer is beforn its readers
the school will be fairly started upon the work of
the second IJunrter, and there will be smooth se:us
:uul frworing hrcczeg. But at tho time of this writ·
ing it is struggling through rough and tro uhled
waters. T he exnminations of the lirst quarter nre
the cause of the billows, and occasionally of some·
thing eiJM: not less dtuup. For in spite of tho wise
nml philosophic views of e~n.ru ina.tion s w hich our
faculty t ry to inculcatu In us, examinations continue
to be the JICriodie temJICSts In our otherwise ealmly
ordered progrC!!!S. Even tho Methods ciiUIIC!I lun·e
j:ti,·en up their own piRns In disappointment :mtl
despair. Pt•rhaps the ruillenium will bring with IL
the abolitinn of uaminations, and until then students will probnbly conti nue tn "C:mm" the Jut week
of each qunrter and the "wall,. of woe" will still be
heard.
The football 84!3500 Is Ol'er, and t he two teams
stand rt:ady to ~lvu the laurels for their well·
cnrned suceess. In spite of runny dlscoumJCCillents
they tinished tho SCilliOu w ith only one defent rcronl ·
ed against them. 'l'o a superllcial oh~n·cr it migh~
seem that athletics nre now aL a stnndstill, hut this
is fal" from being the case. H:LSketlu\1\ is :1\reatly
being ngitntl!d and lUI this Is a game in whirh a
much lnrger proportion of tho students take part
than footfnll, we may say that the velocity of 11th·
Jetics is uecelernted and not retarded. We had but
one opportunity of t boWing ou r Interest in :~ml
lo)·alty to footbnll, but the enthusitlBm then was all
that could be desi red . Wo hope to btu·e more tlmu
one chance of cheering our btu~ketbn\1 teams on to
,-ictory.
The th·st n umber o f our lecture course hns !Jcen
gi\·en, am\ e,·eryone Is happy. The tirkct holdeN
smile to think of the rave more numbers for which
the tirst hns set so high a sto.nclard. The committee
feel elated over the succCSI of the coun!C ns n busi·
nes!l ,·enture. Without can ,·asslng every ~tvai\!l!Jie
scat hnd been sold for the first number. and liuan·
ci:\lly the course is already a. s ucees~. This shows
tho line results attending co·operath·e efforts.
