The Freshman Year
Almost before the student enters the

acquaintances are fow and his expert
ences are many and varied. He may
have a letter from his high school in
structor to some friend who will give
him valuable suggestions as to getting
a start. Or he may have been directed
to the Y. M. C. A., which is always a
welcome home to students In need of
any kind of help. In the Y. M. C. A.
rooms he meets others of similar con
dition, and sooir forms new friendships.
The friendships thus formed during the
first few weeks of college life nre very
often the firmest ever formed, and
many of them last through the entire
course, and perhaps on Into out-of-Bchool
life.
The freshman is not long at the Unl
ersity until he is Invited to the liter
ary societies, which give open recep
tions a couple of weeks after the open
ing of the school term. Here at first
he goes through the ordeal of meeting
stranger after stranger; but u he con
tinues to attend the society meetings
week after week he soon begins to feel
at home, and becomes interested in the
work. However, It is not customary
for a student In his freshman year to
do much in either society or debating
.lull It iiHiiallv takes about six
months or a year for one to become
well enough acquainted with Univer
sity Institutions to make a wise deci
sion as to which fraternity, society, de
bating club, or other organization he
will Join.
The regular dally program of the
btudent who works his way through
school Is brief but comprehensive:
irom his room to the University, from
the Unhersity to his boarding house,
and from the boarding house to his
loom to study for the next day; when
he will repeat the process over again
and so on day after day, and week
after week to the year's end. Such a
process is sure to make narrow, un
sympathetic, uncultured bookworms.
Some diversion Is necessary, and while
the "aristocracy" of the University in
dulges In fraternity functions, the
more economical and democratic cluss
find their mental recreation In the Fri
day ovenlnK meetings of the literary
societies and Saturday meetings of the
debating clubs.
Another organization whose novelty
attracts the freshman Is the military
department. When the young hopeful
dons his first cadet Bult, oucicies on ms
cartridge belt, and shoulders his gov
ernment gun, he ,1s the proudest per-

and If he could possibly have been so

time seems far away, and the four
years seem long when we are looking
ahead; but when we get nearly
through, and begin to look back, how
short the time seems!
Tuesday mornlnc for their homes ns a
reason for asklmr that the fraternities
be dissolved that nearly all the trouble
that arises among the studentB Is due
to the fraternity men; that the college
is regarded by many people over the
country as a' preachers' school, and
consequently the ministerial students
have to bear part of the blame.
