Did you ever think as the hearse rolls by That maybe some day you and I \\ ill roll along in a big black hack With never a thought of coming hack.

At the gathering of alumni, more than 12 hun- dred in number—which took place at Blacksburs lasl May. it was proposed by the President of the Alumni Association that a fund of $250,000 be raised with which to erect a building as a memorial to their students who fought in the great war. Some program ha- already been made and the committee is now planning to ac- tively push the campaign throughout the state and tin' south.

The building which the alumni of \ . 1'. I. will MM for their Alma Mater is as follows:

"A large building of native stone with steel frame-work. The basement of the building t<» contain storing facilities and fifty or sixty shower baths, a swimming pool of the latest type, approx- imately thirty by seventy feet, will be built as an annex to the basement and first flour. The main floor to be devoted to a large well-equipped gymnasium. The room to be SO arranged that it can be used for drill purposes during Winter months; also to he used for basketball, tennis and other indoor sports.

THIS STAFF'S LAST WORD

Tlii> week is the last week that this staff has the privilege of working for the ROTUNDA. It ends our newspaper work at S. X. S. We take this, our last opportunity, to speak to our readers.

We wish in 'hank the- faculty and student body for their aid in making the ROTUNDA what it is. We wish to thank Dr. Jannan for his kindni in furnishing the ROTUNDA office in such a man ner that it has been a pleasure to work in it. It was because of you thai this staff was able to add another sheet to the paper. Through the reorganization and enlargement of the staff, the extension oi the advertising and subscription list--, the enlarging of the exchange li-t, the prac- tice of having various cuts and cartoons, the in- troduction of the Christmas gift shop, and pub- lishing the best material which we could obtain, we have tried to make our paper better and prove worth) of the trust you placed in m b) making us metnbeia of the staff.

As the time comes to leave this work, we do so with hesitancy, because we realize what a great opportunity we have had in serving the school. Tin- advantage will go to the new staff next week. They arc full of ideas for making the ROTUNDA I better paper. It is up to you, student bodj and faculty, to help them attain their goal "I what the Km i\n\ should be.

Everyone possesses a name. It i> one thing

we have in common with our neighbors. If con-

versation lags and we have exhausted the pos-

sibilities of the weather as a topic, why not dis-

cuss names? Nearly every locality has names which to out-

siders seem queer. In Florida I know a Miss

Silvertooth. It seemed incongruous thai she

should possess perfect teeth with not a trace of

silver about them.

1 have a friend who seems to fear that some

day a dire calamity may overtake her she may

not have anything with which to cover her head.

To offset this possibility she married a Mr. Hatt.

lie died and for a long lime she mourned the loss

of her Mall, hut after a while she was convinced

that a Roof offered even greater protection to her than a Hatt. so now sin- is Mrs. Root.

The names of colors are used for family

names. No doubt many of its could construct

a rainbow from our acquaintances with color

names. In my home town we have a druggist

named While, a dentist named I Hack, and a

merchant named Brown, all of whom are Knighl

Templais. They went to a convention in San

Francisco. When the train stopped at a small

Kansas station a man rushed in and said he

wished to meet his brother Templais. Mr. White

began to introduce himself, Dr. Black, and Mr.

Brown. The man broke out into a hearty laugh

and said, "My name's Green."

1 once taught in a school when' every morning

the principal called the roll of the entire school

at the opening exercises, lie called the family

first and went all the way from Anderson, Anna,

to Ziggler, Mary. In my room were two girls,

Annie I'.die Sane and Kan- Gofortti. The calling

of these two names amused me very much. The

principal would pause for effect between the

names. When he reached Sane. Annie Belle, 1

looked around to see whether some unfortunate

occurrence had driven Annie Belle insane. Ev-

ery time his voice boomed out "Go forth, Kate."'

1 expected to sec Kate rise and go forth, for

our principals commanding voice was one not

likely to be disohexed.

Sometimes we think it unfortunate that we

cannot choose our own names. ( iftcu we think

them inappropriate, hut after all, what's in a

name? Is it not what we put into it? < >UT

names represent US and we can make them mean

what we will.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE CAMPUS FORUM?

"What do you think of the Campus Forum?" has been asked of many girls over the whole United States, even right here on our own campus. What do we as Association members think of it: First of all. what do we know about it? Do we know that it is really a section of the Y. W . C. \. publication, the Woman's Press. set aside especial!) for us, students. We are its contributors as well as its readers yes. Farmville has had a contribution in the- Campus Forum. I lave you read it?

This is just an example of numerous ques- tions and things of interest ahum the vastness of the Y. \\. C. A. work which we ought to know. Ask any of the members of the Cabinet what they are doing now; they will be mosl apt to answer "studying" and refer yon to_a regular course of study and references on the Cabinet room table. They arc studying. They have each been chosen for a particular fitness for her place. and the) are striving to go forward, to receive training and a broader vision of the scope of the whole Association. They are to take an ex- amination on the work and then go to Westhamp- tofl College to a Cabinet Training Council that they may be better leaders and representatives for us as Association members. Are we not to learn also? Certainly, and not necessarily all from them either. Let ns study onr Association, ours in the sense of the- world wide influence. Let us learn the work, let up keep posted as t" what's happening in our Association World. Read the Woman's Press and other good books on the V*. W. C. A. reading table.

PUPPY LOVE There is a malady more widespread than

measles. And far more dangerous. In the ter- rors which ii holds for its victims it is more deadly than smallpox, yet in its humor for on- lookers it is rivalled only by mumps.

< Inly fools are stricken with it. yet having had it, one ceases to be a fool automatically with its cure, i have heard many who were once afflicted so in youth speak of it. and such see to be the consensus of opinion.

li i> no respecter of age, although among ado lescenl youth it i> perhaps most prevalent. I have seen, however strong men and able women stricken down as mercilessly as the most hlatont

youth. Did I mention it-- name: There is no need

here to mention its scientific cognomen, that being long at:d painful to tin1 ear. We shall speak of it by its fervently, sometimes even vio- lently bestowed name of Puppy Love. A par- ticularh appropriate name, it seems to me, tor man) reasons too dark and deep to divulge hei e

l once knew an individual who was Buffering from this strange disease. He was my brother [ohn. I did not know then what was his trou- hle. although I pondered on il many times, some- times mirthfully, and sometimes distinctly oth- erwise, lie wore, I remember, a flowing tie, long flopping hair and a pained expression. The>e characteristics probably had nothing to do with the malady, Puppy Love, although 1 am not even yet lure, I have never broached the question but once. Since that attempt to clear up what was a deep mystery to me, I have been possessed of a singular delicacy on the subject, which has caused me to retrain from any mention of it. He ha> since reformed.

Mv brother John firsl evidenced symptoms of I'uppv l.ove at the table. neibund then that it was necessary to Mieani three times before he could be persuaded to pan the butter. Not that he was partial toward the butter. He simply declined to pas- anything. It did not seem to be stubbornness on his part, but rather a deafness of the brain. This grew more noticeable as the trouble grew worse. Toward the end no amount of screaming seemed to have any el feet. This was true also in ordinary conversa- tion. I remember my father grew quite vistent. He had been asking John about pruning some fruit trees. After waiting some moments in vain for a response, lie shouted:

"Well, you blithering moonstruck fool, can't you talk at all?" It was then that John turned around eagerly, his face alight with the expres- sion one puts on upon finding, at last a kindred spirit. My father's mouth gaped. John was going to answer! He did. He said:

"Yes, I think 'moon' would he miuii better in that line than '.stars,' too. You put the verv

word right in my mouth!" My father seemed on the point of explosion hut thought better of it. and took to his bed instead, from which he did not rise again for many days. | \v said that it was hard to find in his old age that one of his children was an imbecile.

John committed poetry. All Puppy hove vic- tims do. Write would be perhaps, a more ]MI-

liu- term, but commit i> more appropriate. Ves- undoubtedly commit i> the only word. For the poetry of Puppy l.ove is crime. It is gloried with a purple freedom one seldom finds else- where. It is profusely decorated with rosebuds and small gooey hearts, h i- populated to over- flowing with obese eupids and woiidroiisly beau- tiful maidens and round, fat. pumpkin colored moons. It oozes with sticky words, h j> un- thinkable. It is painful. It should he punish- able by law.

John suffered spasms of exquisite torture as well as moments of unlivable bliss.

lb- sighed—vast, gusty sighs that seemed am- bitious to carry house and all away on their capacious bosoms to some distant, romantically gloom) Arcady.

He was melancholy with an inconsolable gloom and tragic darkness.

He was happy to simple mindedness. Funerals seemed to fascinate him. He would

attend every one anywhere within a radius of twenty miles. >it through the service with a sickly and watery smile, and return home, to sit in the pale moonlight and commit more ]*>- etry, commencing "If I should die, wouldst thou forget me?"

He did nothing but mope and clutter up the house with himself and his eternal ravings which he would write on paper and then leave to he blown about and read by every one who came by and disgrace the family.

He was forever in the way. and when one would remind him of this, he would move away with such a pathetic look in his eyes as puppies have when they are turned outdoors mi a cold morning. < toe couldn't kick him. He was too pathetic.

Truly, be did those things he OUght not to have done, but more truly, he left undone everything he by any remote chance should have done.

I.ist | have painted this picture of a sufferer from Puppy l.ove in too dark tones. I shall splash vivid sunshine across the dark canvas:

( >ne always recovers. John did. Some one laughed at him. He became cynical. He is al- most normal now.
