N.Porter ''his liiunliur of The Hesperian is edi IwUy the Palladiau Socioty.lt contains, hi-siuVs tin interesting account of the quarter-centennial celebration, much matter relating to the early historv of the society. This will please all who read tho paper. For during the first years, the Palladian was so intimately connected , with the life of the university and formed so large a part of it that a history of the society, through that period, must needs be a history of the university itself. And particularly since the principal actors, of those days are still with us. No student can fail to be interested iu the proceed ings of an organization which helped to develope such men as Caldwell. Wolfe, Fossler, Dales or Howard. Therefore the board gladly turn the paper over-, to the society for this issue. Any system or institution having passed successfully, certain tests, such as time and utility, may be considered rela tively permanent. The open literary so ciety in the university is such an organi zation. For twenty-five years, under the chauging conditions of rapid growth, the principle has operated successfully. Stu dents actuated by it have been prominent in university life, and in social and busi ness life after graduation. They have stood for democracy as opposed to aris tocracy, for utility as opposed to display. The typical Literary Society student to day is an all round university man. He is patriotic, full of college spirit. He sup ports athletics, celebrates football victor ies and takes a just pride in the success of the team. But he celebrates victories in debate as well. He beliees it is as laudable to beat Kansas in debate as in foot-ball. Perhaps, after consideration, he will be pardoned if he deems the work of the debating association of as much importance as that of the foot-ball team. For, are not our Mercers, Fields and Holmes as worthy products as even" good centers or half-backs? n M P ii ml i 1 1 ' at i m iu i4C- i'jli li'ij M m 'MM ?! 0 f Ml M '! 4 u
