WELL, MISSOURI, the Thanksgiving game is over and, perhaps, remarks are now in order; but we will refrain. We feel that nothing can be added to what has already been said and done, so we will be content with wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
THE PROMOTERS of the pipe organ fair deserve the sympathy and assistance of every
member of the University. The need of a pipe organ in chapel has been keenly felt for many years, and everyone will rejoice now that the organ is about to develop from a possibility, a dream, into a grand reality. Let us all aid in making the fair a success.
As a good American citizen and a loyal resident of Kansas, the WEEKLY has not forgotten to woo a thankful spirit at this prescribed season of thanksgiving. It has not forgotten to be thankful that its lot has been cast among friends who are full of kindness and longsuffering; that it has not been visited by a prosperity greater than it could bear, and that the powers of darkness are still rampant and provoke the faithful to yet fiercer combats; these in addition to many other more ordinary things.
The following definition of a liberal education by Thomas Huxley, is worth reading.
That man has a liberal education who has been so trained in youth that his body is the ready servant of his will, and does with ease and pleasure all the work, that as a mechanism, it is capable of; whose intellect is a clear, cold logic engine, with all its parts of equal strength and in smooth working order, and ready, like a steam engine, to be turned to any kind of work and spin the gossamers as well as forge the anchors of the mind; whose mind is stored with a knowledge of the great and fundamental truths of Nature and of the laws of her operations; one who, no stunted ascetic, is full of life and fire, but whose passions are trained to come to halt by a vigorous will; the servant of a tender conscience, who has learned to love all beauty, whether of Nature or of Art, to hate all vileness and respect all others as himself. Such a one and no other has had a liberal education.
