The sudden death of Mrs. Andrew Appelman brings heartfelt ; sorrow to her friends and a shock Ito the community. As a young mother she viewed life happily ( and optimistically and had much | to live for. With fine maternal in- - stlnct she always displayed keen I interest and enthusiasm In her children and home and was a de- ' voted companion to her husband. ' Her death removes a happy figure and lovable woman. To the ' bereaved husband and little children we extend sincere sympathies J and in keeping with our Christian faith, the condolence that Heaven I is the eternal home of such noble and kind creatures. At the beginning of his term of office. Governor Townsend charted his course on what he believed to be the popular will. He said i frankly that Indiana believed in the New Deal. He said that Indiana would lead the states in the adoption of laws that would help. ; not hinder, the national govern- j ment. He said these things in the ' midst of a grave emergency. He ' said that he would not be a dictator, but would ask the advise of all groups, including farmers, laborers and business men. For two years he has kept that pledge with fidelity. Indiana has prospered I under his administration. New factories have been erected. More men have been given work. Indi- j ana has gone ahead. These things do not happen by accident. The - state hardly needed this reassur- ■ ance which he now gives. The . people know that he has kept the ' faith. Affectionately they call him i "Cliff", which is another word for friend. HOOSIER FROLIC REBORN: Typical Hoosier hospitality and I conviviality, as they flourished be- , fore the dark economic days, once more will dissipate their ingratiat- ■ ing effects among the Windy City’s | expatriates. The Indiana Society of Chicago w ill hold an imposing i dinner on December 10, thus re- '■ , storing a traditional institution | that has been observed regularly , until it lapsed into a state of sus- , pended animation after 1931. Sev- i eral reasons may have contributed , to the abandonment of this re-1 union, one of which might have : been the lack of legal means of , overcoming a certain formality in- I herent in all banquets. George Ade is said to have term- I ed the affair a combination of cir- ' cus, street carnival, grand opera. | chautauqua, literary jubilee and ; old home week. There may have been some mutual admiration in Lite back-slapping proclivities, but it was all good Hoosier fun. The Indiana exiles residing in Chicago and the native sons who ventured . into the metropolis for this occasion were entitled to tell each other how much superior they were to I i hose less fortunate folk who hap- . I petted to be born outside of Hoosi ierdom. The bouquet tossing was done discreetly in the confines of I the hall and some of the best hurl- < ers may have admitted a slight: tendency toward exaggeration. In addition to the roses, there ; will be the thorns of jibe and joke I tor prominent Hoosiers whose | careers have projected them into . the national spotlight. Those who : occupy lofty political seats will be particularly vulnerable. Governors ' I Townsend of Indiana and Horner of Illinois have been invited, along 1 with other notables, including the ; presidents of Indiana, Purdue and 1 DePauw. Hoosier entertainment will be imported from Culver Mili- ; t:vry Academy and Purdue.

Indiana U. To Inaugurate Herman B. Wells President —

(Thursday, Indiana University inaugurates Herman B. Wells as its new president. The | Daily Democrat presents herewith the third in a series of ■ articles on the University and its history, written by students of the I. U. Journalism Depart-ment-Editor’s Note) x By Cecelia Bolson Bloomington, Ind.. Nov. 30— An almost virgin wilderness awaited Dr. Andrew Wylie. Indiana University's first president, when he arrived in Bloomington to be inaugurated on Oct. 29, 1823, as contrasted with the scene presented to Herman B Wells as he awaits his formal induction as the University’s eleventh president on Thursday. The election of Dr. Wylie to the presidencey followed a struggle over the selection of a site for the college. The already formed board of trustees voted with one accord tor Rev. Andrew Wylie. D. D., who was at the time president of Washington College in western Pennsylvania. Although Dr. Wylie was just 37 at the time of his election, he had served as president of two colleges, first, of Jefferson College, his own alma mater, and second, of Washington College. Even though the two colleges had always been rivals, it was hoped that they would be consolidated under Dr. Wylie but that came later. In spite of the position he held and the possibilities still being offered to him in the East, Dr Wylie accepted the offer to become pre- • sident of a new mid-western college. So on a Thursday Oct. 29, 1829, in the court hduse before a curious and unconvinced crowd, Dr. Wylie • was officially and formally made i president of Indiana College. David H. Maxwell, president of the board of trustees, gave the opening address and presented the newly elected president with the keys of the college. And then, Dr. Wylie followed with the inaugural address using this question as his topic, "Os tVhat Advantage is a College to the Community.” All those who had worked hard a'id faithfully to get a college for Indiana waited tensely for signs of acceptance from the people. In silent expectation they waited while President Wylie -spoke in favor of scholastic training and showed how the community wouid be better by the education of the so-caltqd four j learned professions, that is, mediI cine, law. theology and teaching. He continued further by showing | the benefits of education for the farmer. As one friend, a former student of ‘he new president, watched the ; seemingly unmoved audience, he taw one man began to make notes. His first reaction was one of alarm for fear the niau had found some criticism of President Wylre, upon

whom everyone was depending to make a good impression. As soon I as the occasion was over, the presi-; dent's friend hastened over to the man, and asked him in an off hand manner how he had liked the new| president’s address. The man an&-‘ wered that he considered it a very: ordinary address, for the president' had used but two words of which he had not known the meaning. President Wylie's inaugural add-1 tess had the honor of being the: first educational address ever published in the Indianapolis newspapers. Today the speech might seem dull, but then, when higher education was still looked at doubtfully by people in general, it proved very satisfactory. B was praised by the Indiana Journal for its simplicity, elegance, soundness. Thursday when another new president, Herman B Wells, is official-; ly anaugurated. he will be bead of | the university of more tha.i 6.00'. 1 resident students.
