Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 245, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 October 1910 — COLLEGEVILLE. [ARTICLE]

COLLEGEVILLE.

The fifst regular exams and quizzes were held on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday was dedicated to Christopher Columbus, and the pleasant day was greatly enjoyed by all, free from care and worry’ of books and tasks. The college foot ball team, in its first game last Sunday, fightingly bowed in defeat to the Rensselaer players by the score of 9to 3. Weight and superior strength were so greatly in favor of the visitors that the collegians’ tactics and skill could not overcome it. The Goodland Athletics are scheduled to play a game on the college grounds on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. Mrs. J. H. Kluetsch, Mr. and Mrs. J. Retinger, of Chicago; Mrs. Thos. Williams, of South Bend; J. A. Holzbauer, of Plymouth, and Mrs. W. C. Murphy and Miss Mary Maloney, of Crawfordsville, were college visitors during the last week. Kthms. Es Del phos, Ohio, and Ralph Sproston, of Indianapolis, received sad news on Monday. Alfred was called home to attend the funeral of his grandfather, and Ralph to fulfill the same sorrowful office of respect to his father, who had met a very untimely death by drowning. Both lads were the recipients of heartfelt condolences from their fellowstudents in this, their hour of affliction. Hon. L. Ert Slack, of Franklin, Ind., spent a half hour at Collegeville Tuesday morning. The short talk that he gave to the students was well appreciated. He spoke of the staying qualities that are necessary to lead young men to success. ? And to be able to adduce the alliterative appeal, he held up to his auditors as the three prime requisites “grit, gumption and gall.” The tenor of his address was that a man never gets a thing that he does not strive for earnestly. He concluded with words of encouragement to bear the knocks and blows that life deals out; then to, for the enjoyment of the pleasures and good things, in time and place, that are in store for all.
