It would be well if those who attend chapel, apparently for the purpose of having a good time, would remember that there are those present who have come to worship; who desire to spend the few moments of service in the contemplation of that which is noblest and best; and who have a right to ask that the rules of decent behavior be respected by all who are present.
HOW INSTRUCTIVE it is to watch the tide of University life ebb and flow through the halls. Here in one corner is great excitement. Some one is relating an incident which a dozen pushing, crowding students are eager to hear. There stands a girl with her back against the wall, facing a group of admirers who drink in her words. A student is over yonder all alone. He looks lonely and as if pleasure was not created for him. If he would only lose himself in the throng he would enjoy life more. Another stalks by, looking neither to the right nor to the left, intent upon something far away. His pleasure is in his thoughts. He probably enjoys life, is probably a good student, but he is not forming friendships nor is he helping those about him. And thus the tide ebbs and flows.
It is unfortunate that a more general use is not made of the Library by lower classmen. A few minutes every day spent in consulting reference books and become familiar with what the Library contains would be a great help to anyone.
WHEN THE paving of Adams street is complete, the main approach to the University will be greatly improved. When an electric street car line ascends Adams street, the University will be connected by rail with all parts of the United States.
THE MAN who talks but little is usually considered a wise man. Yet frequently such a man has really nothing to say or is so unskilled in talking that he is unable to express himself readily when he does have an idea.
How often does a student imitate others who are not worth imitating in order that he may not be called a cad!
