THE LOOKOUT 3 In memoriam The announcement of the death of Mr. Hafford, the new football coach, was received in this College with keen regret. In the brief time during which he· had been with us, he had won the respect and esteem of those with whom he came in contact. He had the confidence of the men whom he had in charge and had every prospect of success. But aside from our regret at this most unexpected loss of the coach, there is among us all a feeling of sorrow for the bright, young life, thus suddenly brought to an end, with all its hopes of achievement unfulfilled. We sympathize most deeply with his family and friends in their bereavement and we shall cherish a kindly memory of one who in even so short a time as that spent here, showed himself the earnest, helpful friend of those under his charge, and who \vas so earnest in his efforts to stimulate us all to our best work. ~be 1Loohout VOL. XVII. OCTOBER, 1911. No.1. It is hoped that the subscribers of 'THE LooKOUT will pardon the tardy appearance of this issue. The late opening of the College and the absence of several members of the Board have greatly retarded it. It is expected that subsequent issues· will appear in due season. + <• + + + · To the new students and to the old, THE LooKOUT extends a hearty welcome. We sincerely hope that all will meet with such success in their CoJlege career, as can only be attained by "veil laid plans brought to realization, by persistent struggle and perseverance. ++<•++ The advent of the new year finds many changes on the campus. The Mechanic Arts building, recently completed, has been converted into a tetnporary dining hall. The former cinder and dust paths have been superseded by cement walks. No longer will it be necessary to wade to and from classes ankle deep through the mud. The apartments formerly occupied by Professor Monteith have been converted into student quarters. Even with this addition, the accommodations for students are inadequate to the demand. It is ex­ pected that the new d?rmitory will be completed by next fall which will undoubtedly relieve matters. One of the most satisfactory changes is found in the new library. That section of the main building, where gastronomic performances formerly occurred, is now occupied by a commodious library and reading room. Miss Whitney's domain is tastefully and convenient­ ly arranged. One of our new friends is the bell in the dining hall. This an­ nouncer of Father Time, who n1easures our slumbers, is too good a friend, for his voice is so humble that he seldom performs his duty. It is generally thought that this bell has a severe case of asthma and that the scrap-heap would afford it a place of complete rest. THE LOOKOUT 5 The shutters have been taken down and once more THE LooK­ ouT staff is ready to resume business. For the majority this is the first year and while our predecessors have maintained a high stand­ ard, it is our ambition to make this paper better than it has ever been before. This we cannot do without the hearty support of the student body. We shall be more than grateful for such articles as any students care to subn1it. The present College year comn1enced with a vim and dash that, if continued, bids fair to make 1911-12 a year to be remembered as one of College spirit and good fellowship. To even the uninitiated observer of College life, it is apparent that some institutions have n1ore spirit than others. It is even tnore apparent that these in­ stitutions are the ones that do big things, both in athletics and scholarship.
