SOME people are down on the grip. We are' not; we respect it. Any little thing like that, that can floor a strong man, is bound to command our respect.
Not long since the University News came out and announced that Syracuse University was the first school that had enterprise enough to publish pictures of the college buildings and surroundings in their annual catalogues. Kansas State University has for ages past, printed a picture of the main building in its catalogue and for the last three years has presented to the public, through the same medium, engravings of all the buildings belonging to the institution. Again the West scores a hit and goes to the first.
WASHBURN Reporter is stirring them up again, a little ball here, a little tennis there and some oratory on the side. Its last issue has a good plea for the study of oratory-
If there is one thing tires us more than another it is the young man with a long serious face. You will find him most any place, but are quiet certain to find him talking to the professor after recitation. He looks as if he had lost his last friend; and to hear him talk one would think the world was about to deliver its peroration. He never read a yellow back noved or played hookey, when the writer was eating stolen watermelons he, perhaps, was studying his Sunday school lesson. We have stopped stealing water melons and he has stopped studying Sunday school lessons, but the results of early training is to be seen. We look back and know we did wrong, but see some sunshine; he looks back and sees nothing but a serious reflective childhood. He is now a young man in years but an old man in actions and looks. He has had no sorrow or trouble, but looks on the dark of life and consequently reflects only darkness. You never hear him crack a joke or see him do anything that is not becoming to a man of fifty. Life to him is but the connecting link, more or less painful, between two eternities. This may be right and perhaps we are wrong, but it always appeared to us that life is a great reality and we should get out of it what there is in it. Is it not far better to take things as they are, to make things pleasant and try to increase the amount of happiness in the world than to mope around and complain of the degeneracy of the age? It always seemed to us that the man who caused one fellow creature to smile and for a moment forget the real troubles of life—there are many—did more for humanity than he who conjured up in his pesimistic brain fancied wrongs and troubles and set the world to thinking.
Light and Dark.
If you have real trouble, keep it to yourself, or at least confide it to your immediate friends, and don't let the world know it, it would laugh at you. The world has no sampathy and has often been called cold hearted. Your confident should be a generous warm hearted person who by his kind sympathizing word, hearty hand shake and pleasant smile will help roll away the stone from the cave of discontent and therein cast the mellow sunlight of his whole-souled personality and melt the ice that is around your heart. If you are able to swallow your trials and keep them down so much the better; you will have conquered yourself which is more than conquering a kingdom, but if not, you may find one and perhaps two sympathizing persons who will help you bear your burden and to them the world owes a debt of gratitude.
If the world is going to the bad, if the people are getting worse, if the devil reigns supreme why just let her go; you, with your feeble efforts, long face and dismal mien can not stop it, so brighten up, cheer up, laugh, smile, look on the bright side, for it is said: "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow you may die."
The newspaper business in not what it seems. Nine out of ten men think they could run a newspaper to a finish. From the advice poured in upon us we are lead to believe that the per cent is even larger. We do not wish to infer that we consider the labor of running this sheet is in any way to be compared with*the labor of running any of our dailies; but we know for a fact that the amount of original matter that we publish every week exceeds that which is published by the average country weekly by a hundred per cent. We knew a man once who
thought he was a born newspaper man, he had lots of things to say, had been thinking of them for years, knew that the public was waiting with open arms for his paper; did not like the way his home paper was run, had lots of advice to give, but the editor did not seem to think that way, and had a thousand other reasons why he should run a paper. He was then in business, (he was a success in that) but sold out and started a paper. His first issue was a grand success, in it could be found the result of years of thought. It was altogether a very good paper. The next issue was where the rub came; he still had a few ideas left and gave them expression and then he was done. This issue contained a half column of original stuff and the rest was plate. The third issue was all plate except a notice that the paper was for sale; the fourth issue was the same with the sale notice in larger type, and the fifth issue is yet to appear. This was a case of little dog trying to fill a big collar.
Now if it happens that there appears something in a paper that you do not like or think is not applicable; do not warm under the collar and think that you should be running a paper but just take it cool and give the editor a chance; he may make a mistake once in a while but he generally gets pointed in the right direction sooner or later. He needs your encouragement more than censure.
SINCE the finding of Professor Bancrofts body in Dyer's pond, Cranston, many conjectures have been made as to the manner in which he met his death. President Andrews, of Brown University does not believe that he committed suicide. Dr. Andrews says there is nothing that could be called proof that he was out of his mind. "He was undoubtedly depressed and suffering from insomnia," he said. "He went to Cranston suffering from insomnia and mental depression, coupled with some fever. He came along to this bridge, where there was water. He crept down to the side of that water to moisten his feverish brow, and in this act slipped in accidentally. I think this is the most rational view to take of it, for at this spot a handkerchief was found. If he had wanted to commit suicide, he would have jumped into the water."
A movement is on foot to establish at Yale an infirmary or home for students, where, in case of sickness or accident they may find the good food and careful nursing so essential to recovery and impossible to secure in college dormitories. The home will be under the care of a competent matron and man-servant. It is proposed that all persons able to do so shall be paying inmates of the home, but in cases where it is impossible, free rooms and care will be provided. Rooms will also be provided in the home for friends who come from a distance to care for the sick. The infirmary will cost about $75,000, part of which, however, is to form a fund for its maintenance. The ladies interested in the plan include the wives of many of New York's prominent citizens, and they unobtedy will succeed in raising the money necessary to build and equip a suitable building.
A new college is to be opened at Lake Charles, the chief town in South-western Louisiana, about thirty miles from the Texas border. The movement is a result of home missionary work co-operating with Southern people in an endeavor to meet the great educational and religious needs of that section.
THE COURIER is spreading its wings and taking on some of the former freshness of the University Times.—Review.
We hope not brother, the Times was so fresh that it could not keep more than a year and then spoiled. Our lease on life is longer than that, we hope. We have been running now for nine years and if we mistake not, we will be here to make the acquaintance of the angel Gabriel. We thank you for your good intentions, but prefer to be compared to something that will reflect a little more credit on us. The Times mourners can produce no more proof of exceptional and unusual merit in its columns than they can show reasons for its existence or the place it filled.
We see several of our exchanges clamoring for the ideal paper. We would suggest that a paper should mirror the characteristics of the editor. If he takes life very serious let his editorials be long windy discussions, of most any thing, mixed with a large dose of advice. If the reverse, let his editorial page be bright, cheery and pleasant. The troubles of life will come soon enough, let us have some of the spice now. The ideal paper will be obtained only when you have the ideal man.
When the editors coat becomes frayed at the elbow do not think he has been laughing in his sleeve, it shows that he needs your subscription.
All arrangements have been made for the eastern trip which the University of Michigan base-ball nine is to take in the spring. Games will be played with the University of Vermont, Williams, Harvard, Yale, Trinity, and possibly with Prince- and University of Pennsylvania. Last year the team went as far east as Ithaca and there won from Cornell: score 1-0. There is considerable speculation as to what will be the result when New England colleges are played against.
Constitutional Amendment.
-
Today at 1 o'clock the share holders of the Oratorical association will be called to decide in reference to the proposed amendment to the constitution. The idea embraced in the first clause is a good one and should be put through. We cannot have too much oratory
