Only the girls are In earnest, and with hunched shoulders and burning faces scribble yardB of notes, fearful lest they miss a word and an awful gap ap pear In their "historical chain of rea soning.' Tho boys 'Josh gravely from behind pretentious note-books, reeling out skeins of empty erudition and ques tion, which becomes Inextricably mixed In the hands of student discussion. Voices drone, heads nod, whispers fly like shuttles. The professor questions, the girls discuss, the boys argue. The past only Btlrs In Its sleep, and throws a dreamy spell over the roefm. The hour drags, and is a burden. Afternoon! Has the millennium arrived? Does the lamb play with the wolf, the lion with the fawn? These were the ques tions I asked myself the other day as I saw one of the young men belonging to the most exclusive of the "creme de la creme" set of the University "but tonhole," draw aside and hold a long, intimate, familiar conversation with one of the frowsy specimens from tho "tall grass," who go to make up the other extreme. For a moment a great joy sprung up In my heart, and I said to myself, "Oh, the great equalizing Influence of the State University, where no one Is the superior of anyone else, Is having Its effect. There Ib a sample of It." Alas! The thought had scarce ly time to fihapc Itself In my mind when a disturbing friend whlBnered in my ear. "Look at old Buck hob-nob- blng with that pumpkln-husker from Cornrow Hollow! Ain't he a peach? Buck thinks he's got him cinched, but you just watch. As soon as Buck leaves him some of the Kappa klds'll rope Mm just as bad or worser. These class elections make me smile. Goln to French?" Now, yo reformers, I reflected, here's a problem for you. Conjure up some means by which you may be enabled to stop the practice of "wire-pulling" in electioneering, of double-faced friendship-making In the University, and you have accomplished a great work. Here are these noble youths, who because of the Buperlor advantages they pos sess winning manners and fertile minds are so pre-eminently well fitted to become leaders, here they are, tast ing of the dangerous, Boul-destroying, character-anniiinatlng joys of political intrigue and trlumpha. These young men will leave the Institution well equipped to becqme Oh, the horrors of It! "bosses," the instigators of corrup tion in municipal and Btate politics, to become lobbyists yes, who knows? perhaps they may even be adopted as tools of the "octopus" to further its many and alwayB evil projects. Oh, It Is a serious question. I cannot suggest a remedy for exist ing conditions. I would merely ask, could not the chancellor or some other hTgh official be- installed as a "Joint" boss of all cJaaB politics? He could, with the sage understanding of a ma ture mind, direct this youthful enthu siasm and by gentle out- firm control keep It pure. Can you Imagine any thing more beautiful than the meek, adulatory respect for the wisdom of superiors that such a course would create? What's that? You wonder where, in the dim, distant future, college-bred leaders would be procurable If a restricting, suppressing policy were 44 followed In their course? Oh, well, as for that, we must trust to Providence. No need to worry ourselves now nbout the future. But as for the present, I claim there Is dungcr in these clasB elections, and that unless this danger Is averted well, you'll Bee, you'll see! Evening) "By the eternal, I am sick of this thin veneer!" That Is what I feel like saying tonight. All day long I have been talking polJteJj', or listening to others talk politely, jabbering rythmic nonsense. I can't And a man who says anything true. They are all busy tell ing what some other man told them, or what they have learned from books. There Is not one of them who has a belief of his own; all live by a cut-and-drled philosophy, the product of the printer's devil and a worn out age; all stake their bouIs on the words of men who never knew their conditions, their hopes, their fears, their strug gles, their sorrows, but died In another world and time. In a word, I am Blck of an education which does not edu cate the soul, and make us all thinkers Instead of mere hearers, crammed with the second-hand junk of past genera tions.
