Tan and Cardinal Record Is Broken By Illness.
It has 'been a matter of pride to us that we have issued the Tan and •Cardinal on each Monday throughout the school year. Due to the illness of the opera tor of the lino type machine we are a day late this week. Under normal conditions we had hoped to ·continue our good record, but the circumstances of this week made this • -impossible. Also the size of the paper has been cut to four pages this week for the first time this year due to the illness mentioned above.
much skill. ' 'Isle of Dreams'' from Norwegian Suite by Torjussen, played by Edythe Pinney, pleased the audience a g reat deal.
Perhaps the special feature of the evening was the Overture to "William Tell" composed by Rossini, which the girls of the Senior Piano Quartet played with true sympathy and understanding of the great masterpiece.
Immediate Action.
Since our editorial in last week's Tan and Cardinal on the need of a new gymnasium we have heard many favorable comments for son1e immediate action in this direction.
It is rumored that one very in.fluential party expressed his willingness to olicit the necessary funds. A local business man has recorded his willingness to help financially. Students are clarn.oring for an improvement of some kind. Either an enlargement of the old Association Building or the erection of a new and separate gymnasium
C. M. Sweasy Will Represent Otterbein at Hiram
C. M. Sweasy, the winner of the local oratorical contest held previous to the Christmas vacation, will represent Otterbein college at Hiram in the State oratorical contest. He will compete for inter-collegiate honors and we wish him success.
Mr. Sweasy has an excellent oration worked out on the subject "America's Problem" and has a masterful delivery.
The State contest will be held on Tuesday, February 13.
Have you been out to the athletic field to watch the fellows practising on the new track? Well don't go for you won't see them.

Popular Lecture Has Been Given Many Times and Proceeds Used for Helping Students.
"Acres of Diamonds"-this wonderful lecture will be given as the next number of the Citizens' Lecture course by Dr: Russell H. Conwell on Thursday evening, February S, at the United Brethren church. Dr. Conwell was heard under similar auspices last year with an audience of
nearly one thousand people. He is

Dr. E. A. Jones Gives Interesting Address on "Bible and Spade"
The Y. M. C. A. is always glad to have Doctor Jones with them. He always has a pertinent and interesting message. Thursday night his address was on ''The Bible and the Spade." Doctor Jones has made a very extensive study of archaeology and so can speak with authority on this subject.
He spoke particularly of the finding of the Rosetta stone by an officer of Napoleon's army during the latter's expedition in Egypt. He told how it was taken from place to place and finally landed in the British Museum and what it meant in the study of ancient history when it was finally translated. His account of the excavations in the Mesopotania country, of the finding of the elAmarna Letters and of the discovery of an ancient library of thirty thousand volumes made of stone were all very interesting. Doctor Jones expressed the thought that he had no fear that anything that might be brought to light wou1ld in any way pervert the truths of the Bible.

The lecture was given in the college chapel twenty-eight years ago. It has been delivered over 5,000 times and is published in book form and many thousands of copies sold. It has been tranlated into French, German, Bulgarian, Swedish, Chinese and Roumanian.
All the seats are free and everyone is urged to hear Dr. Conwell. It is hoped that he will have even a larger audience than on his previous appearance.
Roy Young To Appear In Violin Recital
The Junior class of Otterbein College will sponsor a recital Thursday evening, Feb. 12, in the college chapel in the interest of the 1920 Sibyl. Roy Young of Oklahoma university, master of the violin, will give the recital. Prof. Young appeared at the chapel services last week and rendered several unique selections. Otterbein has tasted of a little of what Mr. Young is capable of giving in a recital and felt assured it will be a memorable event.
Mr. Young is traveling the country studying birds and insects in view the imbiations of their songs and calls. He is the possessor of a $50,000 violin made in Italy in 1510. He claims to be able to speak 70 words on the violin, play over 3000 words in 70 seconds and other things of unusual type.
