DEC. 17Petitions of Candidates Must Be Filed at Bursar’s Office byDecember 10.HOOSIER STATE FAVOREDtDr. Harding Thinks Idea of Honoring Indiana a Good One—Importanceof the Commonwealth.. /The 1916 Arbutus will be dedicated on Friday, December 17. The date was fixed definitely by Senior I*resi-dent Shultz last night, and notices a^e being sent out by the office. AH pe--titions must be filed by Friday of this week. The same rules hold in the dedication election as in any other election. A petition signed by not more than ten nor less than fifteen bona fide seniors must be filed at the Bursar’s office before 4 o’clock Friday, December 10.Since the first announcement that the dedication election would be held before Christmas, no statements have been made as to who would be the candidates brought out by the students for this honor. A petition is being circulated to place in nomination the State of Indiana. This is the one-hundredth birthday of one of the most typically American states in the Union. Pageants all over Indiana are celebrating the Centennial, and it might be eminently fitting that the seniors of the State University should add-this token to the honor of a great commonwealth.Hoosier Spirit Distinctive.Dr. S. B. Harding, of the History Department, when asked what he thought of the idea of dedicating the book to the State, said that he thought it would be a fine thing. He suggested that it be dedicated rather to “the Hoosier” or “Hoosier spirit” than to the merely impersonal institution, the State. “The spirit of the Hoosier is becoming known all over the nation as a spirit of progress,” he said, “and the Hoosier school of authors is renowned as notably distinctive in the world of letters. From an epithet ridiculing the poverty of a new and uncouth State, the word Hoosier has come to mean something far different, and is a term which every loyal Indiana citizen is proud to write after his name.“Riley, the McCutcheons, and George Ade have spread the fame of Hoosierdom until Indiana, the most homogeneous and truly American State, with her school system and her penal and sociological institutions leading the other states, with her splendid history in the trying times of the Civil War, and with her growing wealth and industry, has become a commonwealth which all other states honor.“Getting its life from the State, the University of Indiana owes every duty to the venerable Hoosier spirit and this honor would not go amiss if the class decided to so dedicate the book.”♦♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*♦ ♦ +
