CLASS OF 1877

Rev. William L. Sutherland finished October 31 an eight years' pastorate of the Congregational church of Great Bend, Kansas, receiving from his people gifts aggregating over $600 in value as a token of their appreciation of his highly successful work with them. He has accepted an offer to become general missionary, or pastor at large, for the western half of lowa,' and will make his headquarters for the present at Grinnell, in that state. Mr. Sutherland, besides successful pastorates in Minnesota and Kansas, has served as general missionary for the Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society in Minnesota, and for eight years as superintendent of the work of this society in Kansas and Missouri, and is widely known and highly esteemed throughout that region.

Dr. O. J. Pfeiffer of Denver, a regent ol the Colorado State University, is thus mentioned in a recent article in the Denver Post: "When Doctor Pfeiffer became a, member of the Board of Regents, he taught the students of the University to cheer the losing team; to cheer the opposing team; to look upon all college sports as games to be played, not warlike contests to be won at any cost. President Baker followed that good work by inducing the students to refrain from 'rooting' to drown the signals of the opposing elevep, and to refrain from yelling to confuse the pitcher and players of the opposing baseball team. Already that work of those two men has given the University of Colorado a tradition of honorable thought; a desire to enter life with an eye to justice in all controversies; a determination to maintain not only 'clean' sport, but sportsmanlike sport."
