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 .

POWELL, !4 N lllh Stiwie L ft4 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.
