The 'Wyoming spirit' is such, however, victory in a large re majority of the games. The admirable gymnasium and athletic field contribute largely to the health of the students and the building up of sound physical powers.

"The committee were impressed with the class of womanly and refined girls and manly boys of the boarding department. This department is like a large, well-ordered home, directed by experienced and cultured teachers. The seminary is blessed in the quality of its students. It will be from these young people that the best American homes will be built and the ranks of professional and business life receive their best accessions."
