But listen to those peals of rippling laughter that ring out full
and clear upon the air until the professors close the transoms
and Dr. Gcigcr comes running down into The Hr.srr.RiAN
office and informs us that the noise of that comet disturhes
Judge Dales. Wc hope that the aforesaid co cd will refrain
from laughing for our sake if for no other reason. Then there
is the athlete who construes too literally the chancellor's ad
vise to engage in out door sports. He spends all of his time
in the bowling alley and gymnasium. He won't be with us

Ilobbcs and Locke in the Seventeenth century, Kant and
Rousseau in the Eighteenth, Calhoun and 'Davis in the Nine
teenth century, have said that a nation is a compact, a cor
poration, a confederacy, a voluntary association of a number
of individuals. The people of the United States, however,
definitely rejected that theory. It was a question three cen
turies old that was closed at Appomatox Court House. Wc
arc indeed still told sometimes, that nationality and govern
ment are but necessary nuisances, but the dialect of events is
more cogent than that of schools or newspapers, and wc need
not argue further. It is settled that a nation is a vital thing
not a conventional thing not an expedient. Charles Fer
guson in September Statesman.
