Iu ;o doing, we not on ly recall faetro, which we kn ew , :,efore, h ut m any new ideas and snggestio ns arise.

* *t o speak intellige nt ly on W E MAY liE A BLE t s u b;j ect, O lll' Yie1rs co u cer u iu ~ it m ay appear very ;t rong, and our reasoning mo,; t cogent; hu t 1ve .ever acquire th at wonderful p owe r of r efl eetion , :hat accnrrtte, tl1 at concise m ann er of ex pression ~hi ch we ohtain front writing. In wl'iting, we are •nore caref ul to arrange onr ideas so that tl1e con'Leetion Cll.ll he re.adily and clearly pere:.ei \·eel. Our ,,·ords undergo a more minute exa minati on, none .11tt th e m ost worthy are seleeted. Shad es of difference, 'a meaning and harmony, are soug ht.

TO AN EDUCATED MAN, skill in writing is indisp ensab.1 e. It is often necessary for him to pr·esent his views on paper, and if h e has not acquired th e r eqni site perfection l tow embarrassing and profitless it will be to his reputation !

* **

FREQUENT WRITING, n ot only enables us to impro ve in composition- but while reading, we are iuclnced to critically examine the synthesis of the work in hand, and notice where its strength and we akness lie. B y this mean s we prevent ourselves from committing like error s.

***

If~NC E , we strongly urge more of the students to 1vrite essays for our .JOU R NAL. \Ve are ever Teady to assist and encourage the student, and publish his article . Nearl y all of our old students, that are to day promin ent j ournalists, have r eceived their first instrn ctiou, i n the art, while at their "A lrna mater. "

* **

IT I S NOT NECESSARY, th at you should write mneh at a time; but what you do wri te, write it ,.vith care. D o not be afraid to r evise your compositio n, n ever :fear to cut out or to insert. Rem ember· that all t he g reat m ast ers, in · writing, have labored m ost assidno usly on this p oint. Think earnestly, over yom· su bj eet, before penning your ideas. If you · thi nk faithfnl!y, other thin gs being equal, you . are snre, in tillle, to write ,so that people will cheerfully recei1·e at'1d m ost willin gly aud carefu lly r ead and r etain your procl u d ion;;.

ANNIVERSARY POEM. BY

There scan·e in all thi s world so Ya.st and wid Cl, Exists a chu rch or nation t ha t asi•1 e From any oth er day throug hout the year, Has not one day which is to it m ost dear. One d ay upon which all cares to forg et, One day on which to do nought but to let, The heart rejoice o'er all the blessings brought It by the past; to honor those who've sought To do it good; to honor ev e n more Those of its me mbers who ha ve gone b efore And shown tll e pathway t o be fo llowed now Thro ug h life, just as the guide wi10 throu g h the snow Of Alpin e heig hts the tra ve ller leads, and from Tl1e pitfalls warns him lest one prove hi s tomb. Tlto ug h we' r e but fe w, we ioo llave our feast-day; And glad we are all, for u. time to lay Asi cle our ca res and r ej o ice as but th e y o ung Can , joyful more than bn.s been said or sung. The year, r e volving, round, has )Jrougllt once more To us, the anniversary o£ our 8ociet · ·~ ~half a score and three right years it is since this society iVa.s funned; and as we · prourlly cour,t those years The progress we have m~.de iu thrm appears More manifest, a:1d gi:ves us courage an e w Mc,re zealously our studies to pursue, To-day we pa use a li ttle whi le to think, To call hack a ll the memories which link Our hearts to those who've been here and who've gone And now, perhaps, pursue this earth upon Their various C::].llings or perhaps, above Are happy in their home of eterna l love. To-day we pause, ani backward look along The rO>td of Time stretcbing far off among The shadows of the past, al}d m rtr ked by br:ght And happy anniversaries, whir.h like white Mile-sto:-:es fvllvw its comse and briug us back To past dreds whicll perhaps our mem'ries laek.' And as we thus the pleasant course review ( H c•ur eociety we see lew, ·with our imaginations' eyes, who strmrl Aboye the oLhers, and whose names tile band Of Histvry on ~1emory's tabl ets has Inscribed in g lo wing, vivid leLters, ns The founder s of this o rganization Or benef:•.ctors of it; few or nvne There arc he re present wh o hn.ve found it hard To hon or, to almost love a Bemrd, A Foster, a 1\IcKune, a Galligan,

In these dnys of political d evelopments and v a ~t intellectunl growth of Arn ericn, we often ask our s eh~s jn regnrding th ese w c; nd e r~, '''VIiat has the future in store for us?'' It is a weighty question; one wo rtb.v of our most thoughtful considerntion 1- a question of fnc·t nnd specuhtion,-a question of interest and instruction. · · In study ing 'America's pa:st there is exposeq to us a · reeorcl which appe>J.!s most eloquently to the love and end earment of her citi?.e ns.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS . lois de sagesse et de simpli cité. Aussi remarque-t-on entre la première et la seconde cré:lt ion, entre l'œuvre des six j ours et la formation de l'Eglise, une m erveilleuse analogie. Nous connaissons tou :> cet~e page à la fois simpl~ et sublim e qui commen~e nos SaintH Livres et où :Moïse nous montre l' uni vers sorta nt des mains du Créateur. En méditant quelque peu Cf· r écit elu poète inspiré il est facile d'y reconnaître · avec le Docteur angélique trois époques tt comme trois œuvres di:;tiuctes dans l' œ uvre générale de la création: la création elle-m ême, la diHtinction, l'ornem entation. Rappelez à votre esprit ce prem ier chapitre de la Genèse; vous vous en convaincrez facilement. Au comme neement Dieu crée le ciel e t la terre. ~a t erre est ir,forme et. nue; tous les élémen ts sont '-!Onfundus :-u'cst le <·haos. Mais l'Esprit d e Dieu plane au-dessns de ce t abîme immense. L'œuvre de la distinction commence. Dieu ùistingue au premier jour la l11mi ère des ténèbres; au seeond, le firmament ou les eaux SUI)érieures des eaux inférieures; au troisième la terre d'avec les eaux, qui reçoivent le·nom de mer. Puis vienc n,nx trois clernier!:i j ou rs et dans un ordre parallèle l'œuvre cle l'ornNnentation: ornementation succe.•sive des c ieux, de l'espace et de la terre elle-m ê me dans la création successive aussi des astres, d es oiseaux, des animaux et de l'homm e. Cette triple gradation de l'opérati on divine, ce triple travail de création de'S" distinction et d 'ornementation on le retrouve Pncore dans l'étalJlis.>e ment e t le développement de l'Egli se. I C' é tai~ ;l la suite du lamentable drame ùe l'Et1en. L'homme tombé et banni franchissait pour j;tmais les portes du céleste jardin. l{eport:tnt .alors sa pellsée sur les l•iens qu'il avait perilu s, il eentit pour la première fois son flme tourmentée d'une douleur grande comme In. mer.

Now then as regards elocution in it~> relationshtp to eocjallife. I bold, that when properly U1lderstood and practiced, it is wort.hy of taking rank as one of the fine sris. Some may say it is preposterous to place elocution as a fine art. ·w ell what are fine arts? You will sa}\ tnusic 1 vocal and ins ' rumen~~ l, the dramatic nrt, painting, drawing, sculpt ure, architecture etc. Wl1y '0\re these called line arts P No doubt you will answer: "We call them fine arts, because all of thew an~ arts tha t give bea•1t y and grn.ce to civili~ed life: or th ey are arts which combine in a higll dcgree 1 the gratificat ion· of p'ure and refin ed taste, with the exercise of an enligiJteneci iu tellect and an exacted im agination." If this is a true definition ()f the fine arts, then I think that elocution as I have d rfioed it may be ranked in the category of fine arts. Let us take the instance of !:>Orne sitnt)le, thoug h uea utiful poem, read aloud in the family OT social circle; and there, if it hn.s been rendered with p:tri ty of in tonll t iun, and all discrimination in emphasis, nud a ll the other elements requisite to convey the true m~anin g anct expression, Jet me ask whether it is not one of t,b o~-e nr ts wb.i dJ imparts a charm to soeial iuterco ur.;se, fli nt! iend a grnce to ordinary life-in a word, whether it is not on e of t he tine nrts ? When nil t he requisites tha t form a really goo<i reader or spc.'l kn:r are taken- in to Qonsideration, I ·think we m<"~y we ll wond er, r. ot so mu cllthat the accomplishment is far to generally negleeted but that it does not fon, ;, with all who look upon ed uca tion in its true light and ro ~n niu!!, t he d rawing out of · all our best faculties, an i mpot·tan t means is early-nny, in all ~tages of life as w ell as iu a ll clmses of society, for refining and elevatin g the minci, for culti vating true sympathies, and for q uickening anrl cie ve i•Jpin g those habits of preception a nd a ppreeia.t.ion c>f the hea utiful in all arts, which, when once acqu ired, generally endure throughout life, and are so precio us in th emselves, and so valuable to us a nd our fell o w creatures.

The S cholastic iu a late issue has a very interesting article on the "Yellowstone Park and Surroundings." B ea u tiful in its descriptions of m ountai n and landscape it is well worthy the perusal of e very reader. A duplicate by tbe au thor would be a treat to his r eaders. I n one of our last Exchange column s the following typogra phi ca l er ro rs occn r reti : In the first article, the first line sh ould read Unirer sity M onthly im·teact o£ University R eporterj a nd in the c ri tic ism of t l1 e S unbeam Mi .:s. Ninlot k should reacl 11fiss Mulock. Many of our excha nges g ive notice of a Chri stmas Numbtr of t heir respecti v e joumals, a capital thing a nd we lwpe to be a mung the nnm her of those who see fi t to honor t be b eau ti ful fe:tst of Ch ristmas a nd the )'l en s:1.nt and hap py holid ays iu tbis appropriate manner. To our contemporaries we extend our hearty wi shes for thei r SUf'Cess a nd hope the v enture will justify fu tu re e n<le!:w or;; in th e same cLrection. The C1·escent filled its columns last month witb prize es s:~y s nnct loca l!:'. The t wo successfu l essays are f~ irly g oorl nice ly w rilte n and showing so me originality; bnt t he locnl:::, pr ized ( ?) or o t herw ise, are about as ~ i ck ly a collec t io n o f non sense as eould be g a thered in a school. If from th ese Hashes ( ?) au estimnte of the place is to be for med, t bere is left littlf: r oom for fa vorable impressions. In 0 11e of t he locals ( prize) a sub- teacher is criti. ci zerl fur snubb ing so me of the gush noticed among the pupils. Of course the people of such a "dude-factory'' could no t brook the impud ence of a sub-teacher. Oh no! Oholly w::m ted blood . We ll we hope you will not get an otl~ er spils m for some time, as we have grave fears of your recovery if you suffer a relapse. Says tbe K alamnoo Oollegelndex in a recent number; •'We cann ot da bble in poli tics for the politics of the country do not sui t ns." And th e writer gives some reasons why he ca nnot enter t il e v a ri ous parties before th e peopl e of this co untry. Continuing he adds : "As to religio n we are orthodox, s lig htly ir. clined to be liberal bu t in no se nse den_2mina tiona l in our ideas" . . . . "We do not ex pect to please a ll but in a voiding extremes we shall try to he nefi t all a nd injnre none." To the politic·d par t o f t hi s ann ou nce ment we take no exception. Co llege pa pers should riot b e political organs. But in the ex posiLion of its reli g io us ten e ts the Index shows a wa ver in g prir. c iple whi e h if it mea ns any tbir.g, means th at tb ere is no r el igio n at a ll b ehind it. Wheu there is q uestion of p leasmg people by our religion it then beco mes a sha m a nd like all shams soon appears in its t r ue colors. When a schoo l loses its religious. influences it loses its geatest help a nd its power to do good is Jessene(l to a great extent. T o a want of such influencn in our schools and Colleges cuu he traced the innumerable evi ls among the young and the loss of faith among the ol rler people of our country.
