Men of purpose aro th men or
whom the vorld makes room' was
one of tho forceful ideas which Mr..
"Wilson brought to the students at one
of the chapel periods this week.. No
idea is more timely or more needed
now among th colleges. One can
pick the "Btudent with a' purpose"
from the aimless haphazard drifting
sort of student and oven in college
life the purposeful student is among
the leader-class demonstrating tho
success which attains to this typo.
It is but another phase of the 14'ea
''do one thing well' it Is concentra-
tion and specialization of effort An-
other significant thought which Mr.
Wilson brought to the college man.
or woman was tho idea pt a "dictated
life" or one which is gladly subject
to. the Infinite Will. If moro people
Would follow this policy subordinat-
ing tho potty human arrogances to
tho Divine Plan who knows but that
the evils of tho world would soon' van-
ish strifo and' -hatred be rare tho tra
gedies of broken and distorted lives'
Unknown; and everything bo "working
together for good."
Perhaps wo anticipate the mlllen-
ium but why should not the finite
mind submit to Infinite Mind when
that Mind belongs to ' Being Who is
Infinite in Love in Wisdom and in
Power. "
"Jack AnJHl Come Rack I a
Wo woro sadly lamenting the fact
that our excellent and original con-
tributor "Jack Anjill" (and by . the
way that is Just a clever way of keep-
ing his clever self hid) had as myster-
iously doparted from our busy midst
as ho came myctoriously Into tho lime
light of college Journalism some time
ago. But 'our lamenting was sud-
denly cut short by a bulky package
of unlquo "fillers" (that boon to yo
editor's heart) and tho glad thought
flashed over .our weary senses ''Jack
Anjill has como back" and ho has
If only in spirit but that's. tho kind

COLLEGE MEETING
STARTS MONDAY
WHAT NEXT?
President Sandefer Wednesday told
a Brand reporter that ho had "some
thing up his sleeve' that ho "could
not yet give out."
So many honors unoxpe;td gifts
etc. have come to us that we will no:
bo mucu surprised at anything that
comes. But wo will appreciate what-
ever it is to tho fullest extent. If
many mora things come bankruptcy
will surely bo our lot for how will
wo over bo able to pay bae'e our own
kind friends who aro so generous?
However wo aro willing to risk it.
Dr. Jenkcns will open tho College
Meeting Monday morning April 30th
at the regular chapel hour. The moot-
ing will bo; held every morning and
every ovenlng throughout tho weok.
Many students and friends of thp
College will be glad to know that
tho meetings are' not to bo delayed
any longpr. The earnest co-operation
b fall is anticipated which combihod
with tho untiring efforts and work of
Drv Jonkono cannot help but bear
much good frut.

BRONCO OUT SOON
The "Home-Coming" will bo tho fit-
ting climax to this year triumphant in
old Simmons. The Anniversary cele-
bration ideal. It is another manifes-
tation of tho ''Simmons Spirit" al-
ways existent in true Simmons sons
and daughters.

ly welcome the Simmons that was

At the regular business menilng of
the Senior Class on Tuesday Mr W.
G. Jennings made a report as mana-
ger of tbe 1917 Bronco. Ho stated that
tho Bronco would be ready to dollver
possibly some time next vacoiT hlit
that' on account of the uvipald bills
no Bronco would bo "turned loose"
until every- account was settled. Ho
spoke of tho attractiveness of the an-
nual and of thp unusually good con
tents comparing Jt favorably In many
of its details to the best year book of
tho State.
Several times there have been in-
quiries regarding the secret of Sim-
mons "pep"-T-what Is the valuable
"esprit-de-corps'' of. old Sim? Tho ex-
planation was partly disclosed in
chapel one morning of this week
when one of the faculty referred to tho
idea that there was in Simmons an
indescribable atmosphere of "every-
body pulling together." The secret
then is the fact that everybody does
his part gladly and unse'lflshly and
all work for the good of old Sim
always with one idea "Simmons to the
Front Simmons ahead." Let us care-
fully keep this spirit and be zealous
in passing it on. But if the question
gees peeper and asks "Whers and
why this spirit " We can only answer
JrtnmefiB Is Simmons.
AMERICANISM DEMONSTRATED!!.
it is said that tho love of pie is a
truly American trait. Since all man-
nor of means have been utilized here
of lato td "show your colors" or to
show that you are a true exponent
of Americanism four members of the
Philo Society have taken measures to
prove that they are not lacking In pie-
eating proficiency. I
One Friday afternoon Fred MuBtonj
and Ray Collins defeated J W Jones :
and Robert Rankin in a pie-inhaling I
contest The thing was beautifully
done and. with patriotic zeal.
Mr. Muston states that whenever the
Mary-Frances girls Care to Stage a
similar contest be Is sure he can pro-
vide the entertainers.
