The present loca tion of tho museum Is dangerous to the many valuable collections therein. There will be considerable social ac tivity In University circles In the way of valentine parties this evening and tomorrow evening. Tho literary so cieties have set aside the usual order of programs and will dovote their time to social features In keeping with the occasion. Other organizations In the University have provided suitable en tertainment for themselves, and some of the churches are planning to take a hand In tho general provision of festivities. Program for the Week: Chaplain for the week, Rev. Eason. Friday: Music. F. W. Yesterday's Exercises: Yesterday being tho ninety-fourth anniversary of Lincoln's birth-, tho con vocation talk given by Deputy Superin tendent McBrlen of the state depart ment of public Instruction, consisted of an interesting account of "8ome Things Lincoln Did." Measured by what ho did and wrote, Lincoln was declared to have too superior in his tory. His name and deeds will never be forgotten. Yet Lincoln was in tensely human and did many very hu man things. The attempts to deify him, to clothe him and his deedB with a mantle of divinity, are all a mis take, for thereby the force of his ca reer as an example for American youth is largely destroyed. Lincoln was four times elected to the legisla ture of his state and only human be ings are so chosen. He gained the reputation of being tho beat "log roller" In the assembly. This ability he, as one of tho famous "Long Nine' of Snngnmdn counly used to good ac count In seeurlng tno change of tho stnte capital from Vandalia to Spring field. But he had a good precedent for such trading of votes In the action of Hamilton and Jefferson during the struggle over the location of the na tional capital on the Potomac. And artual examples serve to show that In the much vaunted "good old days" the political actionB of leaders, now most revered, were far from being above reproach, and disprove the fre quent assertions that we are degener ates as compared with the "father." The truth Is, we are advancing even In political life and methods; today Is an Improvement over yesterday, and tomorrow will be over today. Even "Czar" Reed's method of making out a quorum would hardly have been effectual In the face of Lincoln's way of breaking one; for in 1840, the doors being locked, he and two fellow Whiga Jumped through the windows of the legislative building In order to break a quorum, and thereby prevent the imminent passage of a Democratic measure. Lincoln had d marked sense of humor and used it to point an argu ment, but rarely to create a laugh. He first gained a national reputation through his Joint debates with Douglas in 1868. His Arm and unequivocal stand for principle and the future wel fare of the anti-slavory cause, as op posed to his personal interests, lost him tho Illinois senatorship, but at the same time laid tho basis for Doug las' defeat and his own triumph in the greater contest of 1860. Lincoln's fame as an orator rests chiefly upon his Cooper Institute and Gettysburg ad dresses. Greeley declared the former to be the greatest speech, from the standpoint of convincing one's hearerB, that ho had evor heard, and he had heard some of Webster's grandest. In gcrsoll, comparing the Gettysburg ad dress with tho more scholarly and olaborate effort of Edward Everett on tho samo occasion, pronounced Lin coln's production tho work of tho true orator, as contrasted with that of the trained elocutionist.
