The Spike: or, Victoria College Review October 1907

Stanford University

Stanford University.

"A student came from land afar
To learn the game we play,
From him we find that what we are,
They are in U. S. A."

E. J. Fitzgibbon.

Among the interested students in the gallery at the Capping Ceremony was James F. Lanagan, of Stanford Leland Junior University, California, U. S. A. Mr. Lanagan, in spite of Professor Sterr Jorhan's assertion that American students never make nay unseemly noise at pubic functions, seemed to enjoy himself; in fact he informed the President of the Students' Association that he had not felt so much at home since he left America. Unfortunately he was unable to be present at the Carnival and supper; he looked in at the dance for a short time, and expressed his admiration for the youth and beauty of Victoria College. Advantage was taken of his presence to exchange ideas, and on 3rd July Students' Association, after entertaining him at dinner, spent two or three hours discussing with him matters of interest to students, and gained a fair conception of American student life.
