Charter Day.
The nntal day of a great Institution
marks a stage of its development. The
evolution of our University from itB
Inception and foundation has been a
series of changes all working for tho
host and to an end In which the Ideals
and hopes of a groat commonwealth are
contercd. As wc look back over thirty
five years of history wo arc strangely
Impressed. Wo stand llko beasts In
the foreBt. dumb with awo and wonder
In tho presonco of some new found
sympathy. Wc wonder at the past and
wo graBp at tho future, not with the
tenacles of tho past, but with the arms
of faith reaching out Into darkness to
grasp tho forms of light that lilt and
play about us.
In every age some men have carried
tho torch of progress and handed It to
some other, and It has been borne
through all the dark ages of barbarism
and had It not been for bucIi men we
would be rudo and uncivilized today,
with beadB and charms about our necks
and with pictures of wild beasts ta
tooed on our skins, dancing around a
clrclo of captives, or lleolng from our
homes beforo some conquering host.
It is from tho troches of theso men
that wo trim our little candles, that
we may explore the hidden things of
Nature and bring to light Borne new
truth, or that wo may guide some lit
tle company of our nolghbors or per
haps somo great host as a nation Into
closer harmony with God.
There was a time when culture and
refinement were the luxury of kings
and the toyB of heathen gods and what
ever culturo was encouraged among tho
people was tho training of mind and
body to withstand bo fatigues of Hard
campaigns and long sieges. The high
er things -of art and science -wore
thought to be abovo tho people. The
attompt to train the people In thom
would be regarded as Impracticable as
to plant an orange grove on tho slopes

of an Alpine glacier. But tho world
has changed slnco then. Falso gods
and cruel monarchs no longer rule the
earth, and popular education has come
down to us as the handmaiden of per
sonal llborty. Today llboral education
Is tho foundation of all our social and
political systems, and every move to
gain permanence and command respect
must appeal to reason and not to
bruto force.
Education first of all looks to the
material and no man can avoid It. Our
first duty Is the present, and the man
who lives for tho future alone will fall
In that future when it becomes the
present. The present demands action
and not theory. Tho highest type of
man or woman is the one who is In
dependent and self-supporting, and to
such wo must develop and bo firmly
built very close to earth before we can
hope to soar among tho stars. And
while we love to look beyond the veil
we hope to pierce, It Is only by a mas
tery of what Is below that we can hope
to rise above it.
The time has come for the Sopho
mores to act. The petition for the elec
tion of the editor and busines nlan
agor of the Sombrero has gained great
headway, and It is evident the great
body of tho class desire that a meet
ing be called. If the class does not
care to ondorso the prosont appoint
ments, there is nothing to compel them
to do so; for the constitutional point
that has been raised can be settled defi
nitely only by the class. It Is not nec
essary that the approval of the lesser
number be obtained before the majori
ty Is free to act In regard to this mat
ter as best suits It. It Is necessary that
the men have charge of the book whom
tho class desires to see there. Even If
those already appointed should be en
dorsed by formal election, no objec
tion could be ralBed. But the wishes of
the class must prevail in nils' matter
and they should not be side-tracked by
any technicality that might be brought
forth.
REARRANGES COURSES.
American History Department
makes Important Changes.
Students In American history next
year will find several rather radical
changes in tho department when the
new catalogues are issued. A process
of grouping that has been under way
for several yearB takes definite form
next fall, and unless still more radical
changes nqw meditated Should be
adopted, dividing tho present depart
ment Into two departments, courses
will hereafter bo arranged under the
sub-departments of American history
proper, Politics and Political Science,
Public Law, and Jurlsprudencer In his
tory proper It will bo attempted to
make three two-somester courses cover
tho general work In the department, al
lowing the remaining courses to be
more highly specialized and more de
voted to advanced work of tho gradu
ate typo. Also Instead of practically
all tho courses In the department being
given each year, only tho three general
courses will be thus given, and the oth
ers alternated, half being given in 1904
05, and the other half in 1905-OG. This
will permit the members of the depart
ment to raise the standard of class
work In tho specialized courses, and to
devote a little of their time to lectureB
and other methods of popularizing his
tory work throughout tho state. The
changes will by no means, lessen tho
work of the department, but will en
able" It to spend more time on Import
ant phases of Its work and less on tho
details of class-room Instruction.
