Vol.,. VI 
Freshman Rhetoric Students Initiated 
With the Annual Grammar Review Test 
BY ELLEN E. SWAYZE 
A prospective student of Union is us-
ually questioned something like this by 
the old students who have persuaded him 
to go to school: 
"By the way, do you still have a 
handbook on grammar and punctuation 
that you used in high school?" 
"Yes, why?" 
"You'd better make it your bosom com-
panion for a couple of weeks before 
you go, because if you don't, you will 
never pass that grammar test." 
The idea of something hard, next to 
the impossible, looms up before the poor 
freshman and fills him with an unspoken 
dread. Outwardly calm, he asks cas-
ually, 
"Do they send you home if you don't 
pass it?'' 
"Not quite that bad. They just put 
you in the 'dumbbell' rhetoric class for 
the first semester. Of course, they keep 
giving you tests to let you out, but 
each one is worse than the one before 
and there isn't much chance to get out." 
Everyone who has ever taken fresh-
man rhetoric knows that it is not that 
bad and that the class doesn't consist 
of dumbbells, but upper classmen still 
find that traditional joy in frightening 
freshmen. 
The dread disease of fear which sets 
in has three 'effects. There are those who 
are positive they will fail; hence they 
do not take the test. There is not even 
a flicker of hope for them to escape the 
five-hour class because they do not try. 
For the benefit of the readers of the 
CLOCK TOWER and those who have not 
kept up with the happenings of events, 
since this section in this paper was not 
continued in the summer issues, a re-
view of the outstanding events will be 
given in this issue. 
It is a fascinating work to watch from 
week to week the trend of the world, 
especially in regard to the prophecies 
that are foretold in the Bible concerning 
nations. As one studies the different na-
tions of the world week by week, they 
become almost like people, almost friends. 
Each seems to have a personality of 
its own. Life seemingly runs smoothly 
a while, then suddenly a flare, a burst of 
temper, as it were, then happy settlement 
and contentment, just like life itself—a 
period of tears, bewilderment, anger, then 
smiles, laughter, and sunshine. Yet, on the 
other hand, there is always that hidden 
jealousy lurking near, but none admit-
ting it. There is always that feeling of 
antagonism, the watching of every move 
that the other makes. Much has hap-
pened within the last three months that 
will go down in the annals of history as 
important events. 
June 20, President Hoover announced 
his famous moratorium plan, which was 
a postponement for one year of all war 
debt and reparations payments. For that 
period the U. S. would forego $246,000,-
000 of debt installments from our World 
War associates, while they in turn would 
get along without some $400,000,000 of 
reparations due them under the Young 
plan. Announcement of agreement of all 
nations was made July 6. The world re-
ceived this event with a new life and burst 
of enthusiasm that has not been heard 
since the World War. 
Before the moratorium plan, Germany 
was tottering at the brink of bankruptcy. 
Although the business depression was 
world-wide, Germany was struck hard-
est and suffered most. Riots, runs on 
banks, and near collapse of the govern-
ment was the result. After the moratorium, 
however, bank credit for Germany was 
restored. 
Chile has thrown off Its dictator, Carlos 
Ibanez. 
The greatest disaster in the history of 
China came late in August, when record-
breaking floods swept down several of 
the great river valleys of densely popu- 
Then there are those who like grammar; 
they always have; they want to take it 
every day; so why bother with the ex-
amination. That is what they say, any-
way. The largest group, however, con-
sists of those who set their jaws in grim 
determination, in spite of grammar sick-
ness which has grown worse daily, and 
take the "Grammar Examination for 
1931." 
The spirit in which this is done is re-
vealed in the papers by many small mar-
ginal notes. For instance, the sentence 
reading, "He smiled at the thought of his 
failing in grammar," was commented on 
thus: "I didn't" or "He had better wept." 
But why weep when weeping will not 
classify clauses, tell syntax nor write 
sentences? There are two ways to feel 
about having to take grammar five times 
a week; and the way you choose to feel, 
dear freshman, will determine your hap-
piness one hour a day for eighteen weeks. 
This class can be considered a waste of 
time which might be used for studying 
something 'else. But why consider it that, 
as long as it is unavoidable? Why not 
think of it as an opportunity to learn 
something which every college student 
should know, but which you have failed 
to learn previously? Really, this class is 
a bargain, for you are getting two hours 
of instruction from an excellent teacher 
every week for eighteen weeks which 
you did not pay for. Be wise, now, and 
learn all you can and be glad later, if 
it is impossible now. 
lated areas of China. Some 250,000 peo-
ple lost their lives when the Yangtze in-
undated the cities of Hankow, Hanyang, 
and Wuchang. A few days later the 
w.kt_rs of the Grand Canal nearer the 
sea, broke their banks, drowning about 
200,000 people around the city of Yang-
chow. 
The Wickersham Crime Commission 
working upon crime statistics left a series 
of reports on the general subject of crime. 
The conclusion reached was that poli-
tics, inefficiency, and carelessness are 
disastrously prevalent in the offices of 
local prosecuting officers throughout the 
United States. 
Martial law was declared in Oklahoma 
and Texas when oil producers were un-
able to get together and check the flow 
of oil that was driving the price to most 
unprofitable levels. 
Efforts to take care of the surpluses 
of crop productions, especially wheat and 
cotton, were attempted by world confer-
ences, were of to no avail; however, the 
United States Farm Board engineered an 
exchange of 25,000,000 bushels of wheat 
for 1,050,000 bags of Brazil's surplus 
coffee. 
In June, August Piccard, a Swiss sci-
entist, soared higher into the air than 
man had ever gone before. An altitude of 
more than 52,000 feet was reached, a 
height where the moon is as bright by 
day as by night, and where it is always 
150 degrees below zero. 
In June, two aviators, Wiley Post 
and Harold Gatty, encircled the globe in 
8 days, 15 hours, and 51 minutes after 
their take-off. 
Italy's dictator, Mussolini, and the 
Catholic church have come to an under-
standing which has been under fire since 
May. The formation of a Catholic Action 
society, which was a religious action 
solely, was misunderstood by Mussolini 
as being a society for anti-Fascist activ-
ity. 
It is estimated that there will be at 
least 6,000,000 unemployed this winter 
in the United States.

Former Unionite 
Tells Experiences 
in Mission Field 
(Editor's note: The following is a let-
ter received by Miss Rees from Mrs. Al-
bert Fossey, who, with her husband, has 
spent several years in China. Both Mr. 
and Mrs. Fossey are graduates of Un-
ion.) 
c/oS. D. A. Mission 
Wenchow, S. Chekiang, 
Aug. 19, 1931 
Dear Miss Rees: 
Must write you a few lines to thank 
you for so kindly sending us the CLOCK 
TOWER and to let you know how we are 
getting along. Sorry your kind letter has 
been delayed so long. 
We have this month been in China four 
years, but the time has gone all too 
quickly, and we do want to redeem the 
time in the next three years and do more 
to win souls. Of those who came with 
us in 1927, Brother Smith of Emmanuel 
Missionary College, and Sister Miller of 
P. U. C., have met tragic deaths, and an-
other a disappointment far sadder. But 
the Lord has thus far mercifully pre-
served us and raised up our little Thomas 
from the point of death and from a num-
ber of diseases. And so we thank Him 
with all our hearts, and consecrate anew 
every moment of time that He spares us 
to His service. 
The past three years, Alfred has been 
connected with the middle school here. 
But now the Chinese principal has fin-
ished college at Chao Doc Djen near 
Nanking and will take charge, and Alfred 
will go itinerating and keep the books 
between times. I am to teach two classes 
in English. While Alfred was there he 
was principal, business manager, book-
keeper, treasurer, and taught three classes 
in Chinese and two in English a day. 
Last fall (Dec.) the school was running 
smoothly with about 125 students, and 
twenty-five students had just been bap-
tized and more were joining the baptis-
mal class, when our enemies (those who 
had been turned off the pay roll for mis-
conduct) stirred up the unconverted stu-
dents to riot for registration with the 
government. It was against the law to run 
a school without registration, and to 
register meant to discard the Bible and 
worship Sun Yet Sen's picture every

COLLEGE HAS BEGUN 
INGATHERING WORK 
The Singing Band Obtains Good 
Offering on the First Evening 
Of Its Work 
On Wednesday evening, September 
23, the Union College singing band, the 
first to go out this year, went Harvest 
Ingathering, and reports that a total of 
$18.67 was made. The singers were Fon-
da Campbell, Velva Smouse, Mauveth 
Davies, Ruth Nelson, Juanita Rodman, 
Charles Bayer, Fannie Jones, Mildred At-
water, Willie Dee Wilson, Earnest Han-
sen, Ben Hassenflug, W. H. Barclay, and 
Calvin Gordon. The solicitors were 
Grace Flatten, Florence Lucille Terry, 
Henrietta Reiswig, and Florence Long-
well. 
Three cars were provided to take the 
singers and the solicitors. The drivers 
were Prof. E. B. Ogden, Mr. A. G. Ort-
ner, and Pastor E. H. Meyers. 
The band canvassed the territory be-
tween 26th and A streets, on Garfield 
and Pepper. The same group will go out 
each Wednesday evening, until the Har-
vest Ingathering goal has been made. 
Another band has been formed to work 
on Tuesday evenings.

RECEPTION IN GYM 
Social Evening Started Off With 
Grand March; Old Students 
Entertain Newcomers 
MRS. C. LAUDA SINGS 
Walt Howe Welcomes New Students to 
Social Activities of Union; Evolution 
of Freshmen Described 
Each old student of Union who attend-
ed the annual student reception in the 
gymnasium Saturday night, was given a 
definite part in making the new students 
feel at home. All those who attended 
school here last year had been requested 
to come fifteen minutes before the time 
set for the beginning of the program. 
Each was given a number as he entered 
the gymnasium, a procedure which caused 
much speculation during the interval of 
waiting. Many of the new Unionites, anx-
ious to prove their promptness, came be-
fore the specified time, but were com-
pelled to wait until eight o'clock. 
Much laughter was occasioned by the 
method of finding partners for the first 
march of the evening. As a new student 
was allowed to enter the gymnasium, the 
number which had been given him was 
called, and the old student who had the 
number was called to the door to meet 
him and escort him to a seat. To a 
stranger just ascending the steps during 
that time, the cries would have been ex-
tremely puzzling. "Boy, thirty-one!" 
"Girl, fifteen!" "Boy, sixty-three!" Mis-
understandings often arose when several 
young men arrived to meet their partners 
at the same time. 
Unfortunately for some young women, 
the supply of new students did not afford 
partners for all. When one of the leaders

SPEAKS AT VESPERS 
The Mercy_ _of God is the Subject of 
Andreasen's Address 
"God be merciful to me a sinner," was 
President M. L. Andreasen's text in the 
Friday evening vesper service. The 
speaker discussed the meaning of that 
short prayer by the publican, and con-
trasted it with the self-righteous one of 
the Pharisee. 
President Andreasen pointed out the 
fact that the Pharisee felt no need of 
mercy and forgiveness, but rather ex-
pected to be commended by the Lord 
for his many good deeds. Apparently he 
had done no great wrongs, yet his self-
satisfied attitude prevented him from re-
ceiving justification as did the publican, 
declared the speaker. 
-It is necessary to examine ourselves," 
he said. "If we pride ourselves upon the 
sins which we have not committed, we 
place ourselves with the Pharisee. The 
one who can pray honestly the publi-
can's prayer will be justified, for in it 
is an acknowledgement of sin, and of a 
need of God's mercy.- 
The speaker discussed some of the 
things which some individuals need in 
their lives, stating that some need a sense 
of reverence for the sacred and honest, 
noble and good. "We cannot let that feel-
ing depart from us,- he said. "We must 
have something in our lives to keep that 
feeling in us, or we will lose something 
very definite in our lives." 
President Andreasen stressed the ne-
cessity of purity of heart. "Since our 
words and actions are guided by our 
thoughts," he said, "we should think and 
do those things which are uplifting. We 
need to be particularly careful in the se-
lection of our reading and associates. 
"The individual who comes near to 
God will recognize his own sinfulness, 
and can pray in sincerity, 'God be mer-
ciful to me a sinner.' 
Officers of Girls' Club 
Elected for Coming Year 
Kappa Theta was called to order Wed-
nesday evening, September 23, for the 
purpose of organizing for the coming 
year. A committee was appointed to bring 
in nominations, and the following officers 
were elected for the first semester: presi-
dent, Marian Busse; vice-president, Ada 
Townsend; critics, Ada Williams and 
Dorothy Aultfather; sergeant-at-arms, 
Hazel Olsen.

facture is excuses."

lie is a coward's way of getting 
trouble." 
PASTOR NETHERY 
CHAPEL SPEAKER 
Some Present will Later Occupy 
Important Positions in 
Organized Work 
EACH HAS HIS WORK 
All Are Not Called to Connect Them-
selves Definitely in the Or- 
ganized Work 
"In the days of the patriarchs, the 
Lord called people in a definite way for 
a particular work," said Pastor J. J. 
Nethery, president of the Central Union 
conference and of the Union college 
board, in his chapel talk Friday morning. 
He gave the direct calls of Isaiah, Eze-
kiel, Jeremiah, and Paul, in which these 
men were given a particular work to do. 
"It is the same today," he declared. 
"Every person is not called to preach, 
and those who do preach must know 
that they have had calls from the Lord 
to do so. Each young person should say 
to the Lord as did Paul, 'What wilt 
thou have me to do?' 
"I am, no doubt, looking at someone 
who will be the Union college president 
some day, one who will be the business 
manager, the Central Union conference 
president, the head of a department in 
this college, or at some whose names will 
be added to the list of Union's foreign 
missionaries. But I would be deceiving 
you if I told you that every one, when 
he finishes this college, will find a place 
in the organized work. Prepare yourself. 
Be prepared for the call of God when 
it comes. You will not all be in the 
organized work, but God has a definite 
place for you. Find out what that place 
is, and then carry out God's purpose 
for you." 
SEMINAR ORGANIZED 
New Officers Chosen to Take Charge 
During the First Semester 
'True Christianity is the thing that 
puts real backbone into a person," said 
Ben Hassenfiug in his talk at Gospel 
Workers' seminar Friday evening. Mr. 
Hassenfiug based his remarks in the text 
found in I Timothy 6:12, -Fight the good 
fight of faith, lay hold of faith, lay hold 
hold on eternal life." The apostle was 
here giving admonition to young Timothy 
who was going out in ministerial work," 
said the speaker. "Although this commis-
sion was given so long ago, the message 
comes to every person today. Each day 
there is a fight between right and wrong, 
between Christ and the devil. In this 
struggle it depends entirely on the in-
dividual as to who will be victorious. 
Thus a serious problem arises, for on 
the results of this struggle hang the 
eternal destiny of mankind," the speaker 
continued. 
-Satan tempts men and women in two 
ways: he comes as a roaring lion and 
frightens them into doing wrong; he 
also appears in a nice, quiet way and 
uses subtle means for deceiving them. 
Truly, Christian living is a struggle, but 
it is worth giving up everything to fol-
low Christ," he concluded. 
Following Mr. Hassenfiug's talk, the 
nominating committee presented its re-
port and the following officers were elect-
ed to serve for the first semester of this 
school year: leader, James Gaitens; as-
sistant leader, Sophia Van Buskirk; sec-
retary, Donald Hartwell; assistant sec-
retary, Ada Townsend; pianist, Olivia 
Harder. 
Harold Singleton sang a solo, accom-
panied at the piano by Clinton von 
Pohle. 
-A kind word is the purest gold to a 
struggler." 
"Love is the joy of service so deep 
that self is forgotten." 
Union College Co-operates 
With the Peace Federation 
Union college has become one of the 
co-operators with the Nebraska Peace 
federation in the furtherance of the fed-
eration's peace program. Many of the 
most prominent educational institutions 
and civic organizations of the state have 
joined in this worthy enterprise, and it 
is announced that effort the coming year 
will be centered on promoting the World 
Court and disarmament. 
Dr. Dick, head of the history depart-
ment, represents Union college at the 
meetings of the federation, and will at-
tend the institute to be held in Lincoln 
the last week in October. 
Upper Classman 
Is Writer of An 
"Owed to Verdance 
BY CLYDE BUSHNELL 
Right here at the start let me say 
I'm 100% for the freshmen. May they 
feel welcome to all of our activities, may 
they pass the grammar exam! May they 
eat in the workers' room until they know 
the name of every one in school and 
won't have to go through the eternal 
introduction at the dining room table!!!! 
To tell the truth, it is somewhat dif-
ficult for me to distinguish between a 
-Freshie" and an "Uppie" at times. They 
both look as if they owned the school 
and wouldn't sell it for anything. Then, 
too, they aren't all so verdant and—
leaves, tomatoes, apples are all turning 
now at this time of the year; so if you 
want to see one of these newcomers 
you'd better look quick, for they've found 
out where all the drinking fountains are 
and know how to manipulate them al-
ready. That is a sure sign of develop-
ment. 
Running around the campus in search 
of ideas from various new arrivals, I 
accosted several with a -Say, you're a 
freshman this year, aren't you"? Did I 
get withered! Let me tell you. I just 
can't tell Freshmen from upper classmen 
by their looks. 
These interrogated ones glared and 
enlighted me to the fact they were juniors 
or seniors and, furthermore, seeming to 
sense my verdure, asked me what they 
could do for me. 
Finally I came to a group where some-
one was proclaiming the glory of his 
academy to a group of men he had 
penned off in the corner. Oh! A sure 
sign of a freshman, thought I. 
-Please sir—could you tell me some of 
your impressions when you arrived? 
What did you think when you came 
here"? 
"Really I wasn't thinking." 
"O0000h!" 
"How do you like our gym, dorm., 
dean, buildings, girls, compt!s, and other 
seemingly necessary objects around 
here?" 
"Well—the dean's all right, but you 
know he seems different from our acad-
emy preceptor. Now at Campion

immediately,succeeding the summer staff. 
The newly elected editor-in-chief, Ger-
ald Minchin, from Topeka, Kansas, has 
been connected with the CLOCK TOWER 
before, having been a member of the 
staff which published the first series of 
the CLOCK TOWER. The two associate edi-
tors, Ada Williams and Bessie McCum-
sey, have had experience as assistants in 
the past two years. Of the assistant edi-
tors, two, Ruth Gardner and Sophia Van 
Buskirk, were on the staff this past sum-
mer. The other assistant editors are El-
len Swayze, Esther Sonnenberg, Chester 
Barger, and William Olson. 
Noble Chase was elected president and

Weekly Review of World Affairs 
BY HAROLD LINCOLN 
"You in the homeland cannot realize 
how much an overflow from the Sabbath 
school means to those in the mission 
field," Pastor J. M. Howell, a returned 
missionary, declared in his mission talk 
to the Union college Sabbath school. 
"You must face the problems we face 
before you can realize the great need," 
he said. Pastor Howell has spent sixteen 
years in South America. His mission talk 
covered points in the development of the 
Chilian training school. A poem read by 
Opal Andrews pointed out the fact that 
money is not the only thing one can 
give to further the cause of missions. 
Jeanette McKibben, superintendent, and 
Robert Whitsett, secretary, appeared for 
the first time as officers of the Sabbath 
School. Doris Kirstein sang the opening 
song and Ivan Sutton offered prayer.

SISTER SCHOOLS 
A recent Campus Chronicle reports that 
Pacific Union college has as head of 
a new department, that of secondary edu-
cation, Prdfessor Guy F. Wolfkill. Mrs. 
Wolfkill is to assist in the department. 
Professor Wolkill taught at P. U. C. 
some years ago, and at Llnion college 
and Berrien Springs subsequently. He has 
spent the past year in specialized study 
in the University of California. 
Another note from P. U. C. states 
that a dental office has been established 
in the medical rooms of West Hall, the 
dental surgeon in charge to be Dr. Ther-
on J. Lyman, of San Francisco, 
The Student Movement, of 
Berrien 
Springs, Mich., carries news of the ac-
tivities of the music department, headed 
by Professor Wm. I. Morey, formerly 
of Union College. Professor Morey with 
a sixty-voice choir has been giving pro-
grams in the tabernacle and assisting in 
evangelistic meetings being held by 0. 
0. Bernstein in Chicago. 
Broadview college, La Grange, Ill., 
represented by the Broadview Exponent, 
reports laying plans for more industries 
by which students can earn their way 
through school. Much stress is laid on 
the woodworking department, and it is 
stated that "the print shop shows pos-
sibilities for growth, and no effort will 
be spared to make this a flourishing and 
growing industry." 
Walla Walla college, College Place, 
Washington, is seriously considering the 
construction of a gymnasium, according 
to reports in The Collegian. The board 
has voted to sanction the erection of 
the new building as soon as funds are 
in hand. The students are having an im-
portant part in this new project. 
Professor Waco McCully, a former 
principal of Union College Academy, 
was a recent speaker in the church ser-
vice at Walla Walla. Mc. McCully is 
now educational secretary of the Upper 
Columbia conference. 
A unique course is being offered at 
Walla Walla this year, according to The 
Collegian, the course being a cross be-
tween one teacher's inspiration and an-
other's hobby. The new course is called 
"Nature and Health" and is a part of 
the third year of the normal course. 
The summer number of the Washing-
ton Missionary college bulletin carries 
notice of their English department's be-
ing headed this year by Professor Leo 
Thiel, former president of Union college. 
W. M. C. is also giving attention to 
industrial matters, as evidenced by their 
report of the work of their woodworking 
mill. This industry, it is reported, sold 
14,000 chairs during the past summer, 
providing work for fifty-five students. 
The mill also manufactures ironing 
boards, clothes racks, and step ladders.

FROM THE NOTE BOOK OF AN 
EMPLOYER 
If the boss doesn't set a good example, 
he can't blame his subordinates if they 
follow his bad example. 
Most bad labor practices have their 
origin in bad boss practices. 
Performance is the best advertisement. 
Beware of short-cuts! Unless you're 
extremely lucky there's no substitute for 
hard work, but even hard work won't get 
you anywhere without intelligence. 
Running a business, like playing a 
fiddle, is easy if you know how and 
have a knack for it. 
Before you can discipline others suc-
cessfully you must discipline yourself.

What a place to be in is an old library) 
It seems as though all the souls of all 
the writers that have bequeathed their la-
bors to these Bodleians were reposing 
here as in some dormitory, or middle 
state. I do not want to handle, to pro-
fane the leaves, their winding-sheets. I 
could as soon dislodge a shade. I seem to 
inhale learning, walking amid their foli-
age; and the odor of their old moth-
scented coverings is fragrant as the first 
bloom of those sciential apples which 
grew amid the happy orchard.—Charles

FORWARD 
The CLOCK TOWER has both a tradition to maintain and a goal 
at which to aim. The incoming staff, with a due sense of responsibility, 
assumes the duty of carrying on the tradition and of reaching toward 
the goal. The tradition is that of high faithfulness and efficiency es-
tablished by our predecessors. The goal is one that can never be 
reached; that is what makes it worth while. 
We invite our readers to join with us in making this paper truly 
representative of Union College. We repeat what every editor before 
us has said: Offer your suggestions. If you find yourself with a new-
born idea, don't throttle the child of your brain. Nourish him and 
discipline him so that in due time he may become a lusty youth, ready 
to do service. Then introduce him to the editors. 
In particular we shall look for correspondence from the alumni. 
Let the CLOCK TOWER serve as a class letter. We at Union are as 
interested in your activities as you are in ours. Tell us, in the light 
of your experiences, what you would do could you return and begin 
your college work again. Happy are we if we can learn by the ex-
periences of others. 
It is true that the CLOCK TOWER is a newspaper; but it is more 
than that. In addition to recording school activities, we wish to offer 
an outlet for those harrassed ones who are struggling with a burden 
to write. Let us hear from you. And while we do not wish our paper 
to become a kind of literary morgue, we are open to anyone who has 
something to say and will say it in an interesting manner. 
A year of splendid opportunity is before us. May the CLOCK 
TOWER play its part well in helping us to grasp time by the forelock.

THE CLOCK TOWER 
BEGINNINGS 
A teacher once remarked that he wished it were possible for 
students to maintain throughout the year the same studious spirit 
with which they entered school in September. From the teacher s 
standpoint, he said, the first two weeks of school are the best, for 
during that period students adhere to their noble resolves to study 
hard and be a credit to their home and their school. 
Don't smile. Haven't you often promised yourself at the begin-
ning of a new term that you would spend more time on your lessons 
than you had in the past, that at least you need not be ashamed of 
your next grades? 
But, unfortunately, the best of plans do not always insure suc-
cess. As the term progresses, one unconsciously allows his attention to 
be distracted from those irksome lessons. Soon you find that you have 
classified your teachers according to their varying methods of teach-
ing. Of course you feel obliged to study when you are certain of a 
written lesson the next day, but perhaps you acquire the habit of 
putting off doing the outside reading for the teacher who does not 
place a penalty upon late work. 
The third week of school has ended. Examine yourself. Are you 
still studying as earnestly as when school opened? Have you recog-
nized your instructors as human beings who doubtless are compelled 
to exercise patience with your shortcomings? Have you put yourself 
in their places? This school year will mean to you only what you 
want it to mean. Union has much for you, but on the condition that 
you work for it. �

Professor Schilling has issued a challenge to the Freshman 
Algebra class. What normal person can resist a challenge? 
Radio listeners are urged to report on the reception of Union 
College programs from WCAJ. 
This is the "molting" number of the CLOCK TOWER. The former 
staff has been shed, and the new one has not yet fully grown in. 
In this issue the freshmen have been offered much fatherly in-
struction. When they become fully acclimated we shall ask them to 
have their say. 
There are many who look for short hours and long salaries, 
nothing to do and a long time to do it in. It is the old story of some-
thing for nothing. Things just don't come that way, that's all. 
There is one redeeming feature about even the basest of men. 
Such have at times a sense, a glimpse of what ought to be. As Theo-
dore Parker remarks, "Man never falls so low that he can see nothing 
higher than himself." 
The Puritans had a saying that brown bread and the Gospel 
is good fare. Like most assertions, that statement is a half truth. 
There is nothing incompatible between the Gospel and the refine-
ments of life. In fact they go together. The danger is in trying to 
make culture a religion. 
Shakespeare has one of his characters say, 
He bath a daily beauty in his life 
That makes me ugly. 
Even our Union family might find profit in that philosophy. 
It is argued by some that because we expect wars, peace efforts 
are out of place, if not unchristian. The logic is false. We expect 
Sabbath persecution yet do our utmost to prevent it, and rightly so. 
The cases are parallel. Union College has taken a foreward step in 
supporting the work of the Nebraska Peace federation, 
No one is so much alone in the universe as a denier of God. With 
an orphaned heart, which has lost the greatest of fathers, he stands 
mourning by the immeasurable corpse of nature, no longer moved or 
sustained by the Spirit of the universe, but growing in its grave; and 
he mourns, until he himself crumbles away from the dead body.—
Richter. 
Tells of Visit To 
Strange "Platte 
Valley Hermit" 
A group of students, mostly press wor-
kers, visited the state fish hatcheries at 
Ashland on a recent Sunday, spending 
the afternoon on the attractive park 
there and enjoying a picnic supper before 
returning. 
While there they drove a few miles 
away to visit the Platte Valley Hermit, 
a strange individual who lives there in 
the most primitive conditions imaginable. 
By CLINTON VON POHLE 
His name, he told us, was Henry Fred-
erick Morris, and he was seventy-six 
years old. He had been raised somewhere 
in New Jersey—just where he could not 
remember. He had come to this place of 
his east of Ashland, Nebraska, when he 
was twenty years of age, and had lived 
apart, more or less, from the rest of the 
world for the last fifty years. 
The hermit is a rather small man, extra-
ordinarily active for his age. His small 
light-blue eyes look out from under heavy 
lashes. His hair, still its natural dark-
brown color and probably four feet long. 
is coiled about the top of his head and 
tied in a single knot behind. His long 
beard is beginning to turn white at the 
edges. He keeps it inside his shirt most 
of the time, "because," as he said, "it 
might fall off." He spends his time in do-
ing odd jobs that the neighbors give him, 
or cutting wood for use in his own 
stove. 
His clothing consisted of a heavy 
woolen shirt over one of some lighter 
material, both showing plainly the much 
rough usage to which they had been 
subjected; and trousers, which were of 
heavy blue material, too short, and 
strongly patched in several places. "But," 
he explained proudly, "I have a goo(' 
shirt and a pair of white trousers in 
there," jerking his thumb over his should-
er towards the hut, "but I haven't worn 
them for several years." 
His "home" is located in a hollow on 
the bank of a "crick." It is crudely built 
of poles and bark, covered with dirt and 
sheet metal, and surrounded by a low 
palisade of roughly cut sticks bound to-
gether with wire. They are held upright 
by being built up around with tin cans 
and earth. On the inside of the hut the 
walls are thickly lined with rags, paper, 
dirt, etc., leaving only a narrow passage-
way into his "sanctum sanctorum," or 
dining and bed rooms. The walls of the 
inner rooms are covered much as., tb.-. 
passageway, only having the addition of 
numerous sardine cans as "ornaments," 
and much smoke soot. 
The stove was a hole in the dirt floor 
with an old piece of stove pipe througl-
the roof that let out a part of the smoke. 
There were no windows, light being furn-
ished by an old smoky coal-oil lantern, 
which he kept on the floor in a corner. 
The bedroom was a narrow space par-
titioned off from the "parlor" by an old 
blanket, leaving barely room enough to 
lie. He said that on the warmest nights 
he would often sleep in the front passage-
way leaving the door open. 
"What do they say of me all over the 
world," he asked in greeting. "They tell 
me that I am spoken of on the radio and 
in many other places, too." 
"I was raised in New Jersey and at-
tended school there a while," he told us. 
"Philadelphia was then just a small place. 
I used to ride over some of the country 
on horseback that they tell me is now 
built up into streets and houses." 
In answer to a question as to how long 
he had been here, he said, "I first came 
to this county about '90. I had me a 
house down the crick a-ways, but it 
burnt. Then I moved over there," point- 
ing to a hole on the side of the creek in 
which several young trees were now 
growing, "and built me a place there. 
But in 1911 or 1912, I don't remember 
which, it burnt down, and I have been 
living in this place ever since. I have the 
exact date down in there. somewhere. 
"Yes, I came to this country when one 
could see wild antelope and Indians on 
these plains. I often wanted to get farther 
west where the buffalo were, but they 
were all killed off before I could do that. 
I did get as far as Denver one time. I 
could see the Rocky Mountains from 
there, but I never got to get close to 
them." 
When he heard that we were from 
Lincoln, he asked, "Wal, how is old Lin-
coln, anyhow? I've heard about it being 
the capital of this here state, but I have 
never been there. Some folks tell me that 
It ain't much of a town, but f want to go 
there some time." 
As we left he went back to his wood-
cutting, as content in his odd life as if he 
were master of the world. 
LIBRARIANS AT WORK 
Students Become Accustomed to Work 
May Be Hazardous to Library 
If Professor D. G. Hilts should come 
into class some morning in a bad humor, 
it would not be because of a naturally 
bad disposition. A more probable ex-
planation would be that he has just come 
from the library, where he has been mak-
ing frantic attempts to straighten out the 
latest dilemma in which the new library 
science students have entangled them-
selves. 
The students of library science began 
taking charge at the desk last week, after 
but one class period. Professor Hilts, who 
is in charge of the class, said this plan 
is for the good of the students, although 
somewhat hazardous to the library. The 
aspiring librarians are beginning to get 
their heads above water after a week of 
floundering about trying to remember all 
about "checking out," "checking in," 
"slipping," "filing," and all the other 
things they must learn to do at apro-
priate times. Then there are the "13" 
books, and the wandering volumes that 
someway refuse to be found on the pro-
per shelf, but which may be on reserve, 
or perhaps occupying a more conspicu-
ous position than ordinary out among the 
open shelf books. Besides these, there are 
the "F" books, the "Q" books, the ''E" 
books, and the "G" books, all of which 
one must be able to find. 
However, after a week of grouping, 
the new librarians arc beginning to see 
through; and by the time the teachers 
begin sending their classes in regular 
avalanches to the library for their as-
signments, they will have become suffi-
ciently acclimated to keep up when the 
business is rushing.

ANDREASEN SPEAKS 
Similarities Between Ahab's Time and 
Present Time Pointed Out 
A definite parallel was drawn between 
the time of Ahab and the present in 
President M. L. Andreasen's sermon in 
the College View church Sabbath morn-
ing. As a preface to his sermon he read 
the latter part of I Kings 18, taking for 
his text the word nothing. In explaining 
the text the speaker reviewed the narrative 
of Elijah praying for rain. Attention was 
called to the fact that, although Elijah 
prayed seven times before a sign of rain 
appeared, his faith was firm when noth-
ing happened. "Before the end of time a 
similar time of waiting with nothing hap-
pening will come to the people of God," 
the speaker declared. "Will you be able 
to stand firm?" 
In speaking of our work as Seventh-
day Adventists, he stated, ''We need not 
be ashamed of our work. God's work 
will not be finished in a corner." He 
spoke of the progress that our denomi-
nation has made in health reform, in 
education, and in other lines, and pointed 
out how the world is attempting to give 
education along these lines. 
President Andreasen described vividly 
the events now taking place and those 
yet to take place before the coming of 
the day of the Lord. He said, "We 
shall yet see one thousand converted in 
a day. God will yet work in a marvelous 
way and many will turn to the Lord. 
Miracles will be performed, but Satan 
will not be content to remain idle while 
many are turning to the Lord. He will 
work to deceive them. He also will work 
marvelously. Through the agency of 
Spiritualism, he will perform miracles. 
Some will be apparently raised from the 
dead. Satan himself will impersonate 
Christ. The whole world will be con-
verted, as it were. They will follow 
Satan, and will be convinced that he 
is the Christ. 
"It is during this time that the people 
of God will be subject to grave dangers. 
It will be such a time of waiting with 
nothing happening, as Elijah experienced. 
To those who have faith enough to en-
able them to stand firm for right, the 
promised sign will at last appear. True, 
the sign will be only the size of a man's 
hand at first, but nevertheless it will be 
the coming of the Lord to redeem the 
faithful." 
President Andreasen pointed out in 
a very specific way in his closing re-
marks the great necessity of preparing 
now in order that we may stand firm 
during the time of trouble that is near 
at hand. "It is time to seek God, and 
to know what we believe," he declared. 
"Now is the time to gather faith, courage, 
and strength. Never cease to pray. Stand, 
though the heavens fall." 
Knowledge bloweth up, but charity 
huildeth up.—Bacon. 
And we shall be made wise if we be 
made. content. Content, too, not only 
with what we can understand, but con-
tent with what we do not understand—
the habit of mind which theologians call 
—and rightly—faith in God.—Charles 
Kingsley.

A great character, founded on the liv-
ing rock of principle, is, in fact, not a 
solitary phenomenon, to be at once per-

Mae Mathews Tells of 
Visit at French School 
(Editor's note: The following was re-
ceived from Miss Mae Mathews, who is 
on her way to Abyssinia, where she will 
teach in a girls' school. She sailed in 
August with Pastor and Mrs. Sorenson, 
who were returning to that field. Miss 
Mathews accepted the call to Abyssinia 
while attending Union last year.) 
Collonges, France 
9-3-31 
Dear Miss Rees: 
We are spending a few days at our 
school in France. If you were precept-
ress here you would need to be a linguist, 
for there are so many nationalities. I 
wish I could speak French. As it is, I 
talk by signs. School begins here this 
week. The school is located up on the 
mountain side, from which one can look 
down upon Geneva and the lake. Mount 
Saleve rises just back of the dormitories. 
I'm very much in love with the place and 
I wish I might stay here a year and study 
languages. 
There are several faculty members and 
students, too, who speak English. Among 
them is Mr. Walther, who taught at 
Union two years. We enjoyed very much 
a visit with him. I've decided that the 
world is quite small after all, and we 
meet friends wherever we go. I'm enjoy-
ing our trip very much. We are to sail 
for Marseilles September 11, and will 
be on the water eleven days. Am anxious 
to get there. 
Much love,

Homiletics Young Men 
Engage In Field .Work 
Another year of homiletics field work 
opened on September 26 with seventeen 
student preachers serving seven churches 
near Lincoln. This work furnishes labora-
tory experiences for the first and second 
year classes in homiletics and is done 
under the supervision of Professor B. L. 
House, head of the college Bible depart-
ment. 
The students who participate in this 
work perform the duties of a pastorate 
so far as their experience and contact 
with the congregations will permit. A 
sufficient number are enrolled in the two 
classes this year to furnish two young 
men for each church. 
Walter Howe was accompanied to the 
Nebraska City church last Sabbath by 
Louis Ferguson, Lester Trubey, Ernest 
Hansen, and Dean Duffield. Mr. Howe 
made arrangements with the people to 
meet with them the second and fourth 
Sabbaths of each month. The boys re-
ceived a cordial welcome, Mr. Howe 
said. 
Ralph Cash, who has assisted the Fre-
mont church for a year, and who has 
also served as local elder of the church 
for some time, will be assisted there 
by Wilbur Dunn the coming winter. The 
morning sermon was given by Mr. Dunn. 
A Bible study on "The Sanctuary" was 
conducted in the afternoon by Mr. Cash. 
Carl Gaede and Harold Singleton met 
with the company at Blair. Mr. Single-
ton spoke on "Prayer." Canis Lauda sang 
a solo. The people said that they were 
glad to have assistance from the students 
again this year, the young men report. 
Lowell Welch and Ben Hassenflug 
have been assigned the Cortland church 
Mr. Welch, who also met with this 
church regularly last winter, says they 
were enthusiastically welcomed back. 
Mr. Hassenflug spoke on "Faith." Pro-
fessor House made arrangements for Mr. 
Welch and Mr. Hassenflug to visit the 
Seward church on the first and third 
Sabbaths of each month to alternate with 
their trips to Cortland on the second and 
fourth Sabbaths. 
Vernon Becker and William Barclay 
visited the Beatrice church, where Mr. 
Barclay addressed the congregation on 
"The Signs of the Times.' Clinton von 
Pohle played the organ and Mr. Becker 
played a saxophone solo for special 
music. 
Daniel McAdams and Henry Preston 
made arrangements at the Fairbury 
church for holding the services in the 
afternoon instead of in the forenoon, so 
that it might be possible to arrive there 
in time. They report that the Fairbury 
people are glad to secure student help. 
These boys will be assisted with spe-
cial music, sermons, and help in the Sab-
bath school services by members of the 
Gospel Workers' seminar. For the most 
part, the students will remain in charge 
of the churches which they visited this 
Sabbath.

entirely on the black keys," which proved 
very entertaining. 
Walter Howe, representing the boys, 
welcomed all newcomers, telling them of 
some of the school events they would at-
tend during the year. Ruth Gardner gave 
a welcome to the girls. 
Donald Hay next played a saw solo, 
after which Freda Myrtle Fullerton read

Series of Doctrinal 
Sermons to be Given 
President Andreasen announced in cha-
pel Monday morning that the chapel ses-
sions would be a series of discourses 
much the same as in a series of tent 
meetings where the gospel is presented 
in its simplest form. So many times, he 
said, we know what we believe but not 
the reason for the belief. The Bible was 
the subject of the first discussion. Presi-
dent Andreasen says there are many 
things in the Scripture he does not un-
derstand yet not a thing that he doesn't 
believe. 
"So many people don't care for the 
Bible because they haven't read it 
enough," he said. He related an experi-
ence in which he had been in a home 
and discovered a twenty-dollar bill in the 
Bible. The lady .told him it was a safe 
place, for no one ever looked in there. 
"How sad and wrong that a book so 
little read should be so criticized." 
Our president said that as a lad he 
knew only a cruel God, who was ever 
waiting to destroy hopeless man unless 
a living Christ should come to the rescue 
—and then only, one would be safe. 
How such things would have been clear-

ed up if the leaders in those days had 
only studied their Bibles more, he said. 
"The Bible founds orphanages, hospi-
tals, asylums, cleans up native villages, 
civilizes, and Christianizes. Shall we re-
ject the word of God after these thou-
sands of years? Shall we? No! 
"We shall stand by the good old Book 
until something better comes along—and 
that will be a long, long time."

Union Students Have 
Unusually Good Health 
Dr. Rockwell, of Boulder, Colo., after 
examining the entire student group, re-
ports that Union college ranks high in 
the matter of health. In comparison with 
other schools, he said, Union has a very 
high standing. 
In speaking of the health of Union 
college students he mentioned especially 
the unusually good condition of their 
teeth. He said that, as a whole, they 
have much less tooth trouble than the 
average group. 
Very few in the entire student group 
were found needing medical attention. 
Only four out of the nenety-five in North 
hall are in this group. 
Some one remarked that if, as usual, 
the regularity of dormitory life builds 
up the health of the students, judging 
from the exceptionally good start most 
most of them have tthis year, by the 
time the school year is half over some 
of them will have so much excess energy 
as to require attention. However, this 
individual is as yet unacquainted with 
Union's effective device for the expendi-
ture of surplus steam; he has not yet 
taken a set of mid-semester or semester 
examinations. 
"Anyone who likes to get things done 
soon gets tired of going to committee 
meetings." 
"An idea isn't worth much until a man 
is found who has the energy and ability 
to make it work." 
"It's always a tragedy when circum-
stances prevent a man from expressing 
the best that is in him."

has been doing Bible work without pay 
for over a year start a night-school in 
her home in the city to pay her expenses 
through �

year. �
There is �
no 
school near her home. 
We had a woman come this summer to 
help me give Bible studies. When she 
told of the one hundred little children in 
her �
village �
thirty-three �
miles �
over �
the 
mountains, with no opportunity to study, 
we almost sent her back at once to teach 
them, but found it was better to help her 
at school before she goes back. We have 
to sacrifice greatly to do this, as the mis- 
sion with all its evangelists cannot help 
us. But we have greater joy for the ef- 
fort. 
People come every day for eye medi- 
cine and for medicine for boils, itch, and 
many other maladies, and when they have 
time we try to tell them the gospel story 
or sing for them. 
We surely enjoy the CLOCK TOWERS 
more than we can express. Many, many 
thanks for them. 
Must close now, with love to you, and 
best wishes to all the Unionites. Greet- 
ings from Alfred. The last entertainment 
you gave us in North Hall parlor and 
all the others, too, are still fresh in our 
memory.
