VIEWS.
1. Benga.
EDITOR VIEWS : It was with pleasure that I read the articles in the COURTER relative to athletics, and believe you reflect the view of the student on that subject. It is a crying shame that K. S. W. has no facilities for physical training. A man who goes through college without developing and exercising his physical nature is but half a man. He may be learned in all the wisdom of Greece and Rome, he may thoroughly understand the abstractions of science, he may penetrate the depths of metaphysics, but if his body cannot sustain his mind, of what good is all this? Our legislators ought to see this fact. I believe if the matter was fairly presented to them they would try a remedy. But the students must first show their desire to help. It is no use to bowl about the lack of a gymnasium, or berate the powers that be for the want of proper stimulants toward athletics, when the students show their lack of spirit and energy by letting the first attempt in this direction, in the athletic association, go down for want of support. Let us realize this before we complain further. No Xqs.
EDITOR VIEWS:—It is a well known fact that but comparatively few of our students attend chapel exercises. Why is this? One, and I believe the principal reason is, that the speeches of the students are generally "weary, stalc, flat and unprofitable." But the student is not to blame. He is forbidden to select a political subject, and is compelled to take dull, dry ones which interest no one, not even himself. Subjects of interest which would arouse enthusiasm, are forbidden because they will "lead to a discussion."
Let us have "reform" in this department. Let us have a full and free discussion of all the issues now before the people, both state and national, and let the political parties be criticised, and then I predict an enthusiasm before unheard of, and instead of a few stragglers we will have a well-filled chapel every morning.
