If tho attendance at tho Friday nftornoon convocations can ho takon as any Indication of their value, thoy can not thus far ho considered a very great buccoss. Both this year and In years past ltAhas boon Impossible to got more than thirty or forty pooplo to attend. As thoro 1c no tlmo In tho week thrt studonts have moro tlmo to attend a thing of that sort, It would soom that a largo attendance would ho present without any urging. Tho programs that have boon given thus far have boon of such a nature that thoy woro of vital InteroBt to all unlvorslty students who are really in terested In their college work. Tho only explanation that can bo offorod Is that tho studonts do not roallzo how much thoy aro missing, and It Is to bo hoped that tho attondanco in tho futuro will show a largo Increase Whorl Dr. R.

Tho latest weighty discussion of this Bubject appears in the Wisconsin Cardinal, which dis courses as follows: "Possibly tho most useless expres sion of college lifo is tho college Bnob. Wo do not Bay thoro aro such at Wisconsin, but a university commun ity is always apt to have ono in tho making. Ho is a peculiar specimen, hard to classify becauBo ho possesses such unusual attributes. He struts about hla own little world Imagining himself tho cynoosuro of all oyes. As ono of our law profossors dryly re marked of a gentleman: 'Know any thing? Ho nover oven suspected any thing!' And nobody daps expect thQ snob to possess mentality, must less to -over acquire tho democratic man ners of n gentleman.

It Is highly fitting that tho univer sity should tako a prominent part in the movement for universal peace that is now occupying such an Important placo In tho attontlon of the world. Even though Its part in this move ment bo limited to devoting ono hour of its time overy year to a consider ation of tho problems of poaco it. Is yet worth while and may bo tho begin ning of an even broador movoment for peace In which tho universities of tho world will tako a moro prominent part just as they now load In other activities and reforms. This morning at 11 o'clock tho sec ond annual peace program will be given at tho university and it is of vorsltios of tho land havo a very real interest. It means the preservation of such conditions that tho universi ties can do to tho best advantage tho work for which thoy havo been cre ated. It means tho triumph of tho intellectual ovor the physical. Happenings of the Past Seven Years Ago. A warmly contested game of basket-ball was played between tho soph omores and freshmen, resulting In a victory for the froBhinon. Game waa unusually rough and resulted in a final score of 24 to 19.

When It is moro fully 'realized that tho child Is tho coming man and that tho conditions under which tho child lives determines to a- largo extent tho character of tho futuro citizens of the nation thoro will bo moro responsibility felt by those who aro in a position to act over tho conditions under which the children of tho country are living. Tho movement of late years for tho establishment of juvenile courts and tho growing objection which Is being made to tho confinement of young boys In jails with hardened criminals nro tho first indications that tho gov ernment Is coming to realize its re sponsibility for tho futuro citizenship of tho nation. It is to bo hoped that through discussion and education this movoment will grow and spread until it makes impossible the oxistence of such conditions as havo recently been exposed in many of our larger cities.

Universal peace means a tri umph of tho intellectual ideal. It means that tho tremendous 'damage and destruction of war will como to an end and that tho world will go for ward wjth fewer obstructions to the progress of civilization and moro at tention to the development of the higher side of life. Tho existence of war moans that all tho organizing .elements of our civ ilization arc at once removed and that brute force comes lo bo tho deciding faotor In any question of right and wrong. Tho existence of peace means that' tho world will have tlmo to pur sue a higher Intellectual development instead of being entirely consumed In tho rush for placo and power. It means that tho universities will lead and mould public opinion instead of being relegated to tho background. Tho probom of preserving universal peace is then one in which the uni- ADOPT A NEW GAME SCHEDULE Six Inter-class Basket-ball Games Will Be Played.
