Fifty guests were present and the presents which they brought all but filled the parlor. After the ceremony a seven-course banquet was served until 11:30 o'clock. Miss Sadie Jones rendered "The Rosary" to the accompaniment of Mr. John Field.
The bride wore a gown of pink taffeta and carried sweet peas. The bridesmaid, Lily Swenk, was dressed in white muslin. The groom and best man, Mr. Arthur Howles, wore conventional black. Rev. Stone of the First M. E. church officiated.
The groom is a promising young lawyer of this city. His bride is one of the city's leading young society woman, being deeply interested in the Womans' Suffrage League. There marriage is the result of a love affair begun at the university and is the cause of heart-felt congratulations from their friends. After a trip to the Coast, the happy couple will reside in this city.

"What we need in our universities are sportsmen and not sports," said President G. E. Gilbert of the Western University, in the convocation address yesterday afternoon at four o'clock. "The sportsman plays for the game, but the sport plays for the victory."
The President continued, "Before the battle, and during the battle, the sportsman can be told from the sport." It is the actions of the man, he said, when he is in the test that determine to which class he belongs. The President summarized the various college activities and showed how the two classes of men appear in each different activity. And in each, as the President said, "you can tell the sportsman from the sport."
"I think that this, the relation between the sportsman and the sport, is the truest analogy that can be applied to human life. Life as a sea, life as a battle, life as a river in which you must always paddle your own canoe upstream, life as a hill-climbing contest—all these analogies have their weaknesses. But life as a game is a true analogy."
The President concluded with a glowing tribute to our university.
