Why is it our University has no emblem? Many of the universities throughout the college world have uniform badges of some sort. We should adopt one at once. There are already several varieties in circulation.
ARTICLES, SOME even of considerable value, are mysteriously missing. The miserable miscreant, if more than one, they are yet personified as one, ought to be caught. If an example of such deeds could be detected and announced, the University would see to it that his kind would fear and tremble before its just indignation. This "one," however many he may be, does not hesitate to appropriate anything from a library book on the shelves of the seminary room to a hat or coat in the hall. Every means should be used to rid the University of such a common enemy and disgrace.
ONE HOUR'S bright, wide-awake study in the morning is worth a day's plodding. If there is a difficult lesson, the early hours should be devoted to it. For the mind having been revived by rest is more vigorous, clearer, and more able to accomplish a difficult task at this, than any other time.
NOTHING GIVES a man greater power than to know that he is master of the situation and to be conscious of a moral life. Let a man know a thing and be perfectly conscious of his knowledge and he has a power that any man with his profession half mastered cannot have. The thorough scholar is the only scholar who is able to accomplish much.
Do not study simply to learn the branch. Have a higher ideal than the acquiring of facts. You should have an end and object of study. To be sure, few have, and how often the absolute acquisition of knowledge regardless of means proves more harmful than beneficial. There he is probably a grade-one student, who has acquired many facts, and shoved them away in his head somewhere likes reference books we keep to consult, and the only talent he has to show for it is the faculty of acquiring more. True, the acquisition of knowledge is important. The real end should be the healthful growth and development of the faculties, and the acquisition of facts may or may not tend to this end. The habit of thinking and of mental action, which grows strong by use, is of more importance in every lesson than the knowledge acquired. The mental powers should be unfolded instead of branded with facts.
