Thanksgiving Holiday

The International YMCA's Week of Prayer is planned for next week and attendance is encouraged.  The senior class lacks adequate astronomy equipment.  The editors join in the debate over opening the literary portions of the literary societies' meetings to the public.  Dr. Reed's illness continues.  The winners of the entrance prizes are announced.  The Friday following Thanksgiving Day is granted as a holiday.  The Great Dane newly purchased as school mascot arrives on campus.

Professor Marcus D. Buell of the Boston Theological Seminary addresses the YMCA.  James Young performs some dramatic selections for the campus.  The Orchestra and Glee Club prepare for their upcoming concert.  Dr. Reed is confined to bed with illness.  The establishment of Founer's Day celebrations are still discussed, although no definitive plans have been made.  A holiday on the Friday after Thanksgiving is requested.  Money is collected to purchase a Great Dane to serve as the school's mascot.

A report of the whereabouts and activities of the class of 1897 is published.  Traditional "Fair Week" half-holday is canceled, and Friday after Thanksgiving is proposed as a substitute.  After a year's break from the usual custom, the requirement of upper classmen to answer to church roll is revived, with disapproval from the editors.  United States President William McKinley, Professor Cramer, and Dr. Stauffer are elected to honorary membership in the Belles Lettres Society.  The editors call for improved exits from the athletic field.
