The increase in the number of our
graduate students is becoming more
marked every year. A largo number of:
second degroes will be confored in June
and the prospect is good for a larger in
crease next year. Our university is be
ing recognized as sx graduate school of
high standing and with the present
strong department men on the faculty,
we can hope for greater things in tho
future.

No, the Greeks who are about to fight
tho Turks are not of tho frat variety.
The Greeks who have espoused the cause
of the Cretans fight on open battlefields.
The local oratorical contest was one of
merit. It was worthy of the university.
No little credit is duo President Graham
and Secretary Taylor of the local associ
ation for their efforts in reviving interest
in oratory.
It is quite gratifying to noto a change
in the attitude of the denominational
cplloges of tho state towards the univer
sity. It has been but a few years since
the hostility was bitter, but a kindlier
feeling is now beins: fostered. While
each institution has its loyal supporters,
there is a feeling of respect and fellow

"Worse than prizefighting " We have
heard it so often and from people who
are so thoroughly unacquainted with the
modern game of foot-ball, that we think
it high time to say a word in behalf of
our college game. We are beginning to
see that a college only does its duty when
it places a man in a ' position to become
learned after ho graduates. This position
was not attained in older college days,
when a student made a hermit of himself
and became an invotorato book-worm.
Mental attainment mast go hand inhaud
with physical health or it is adrift and a
wreck. Thanks to the gymnasium and
out-door college games, we are coming
abreast of this but lately realized neces
sity. The standard of scholarship and
morals in our universities and colleges
was never so high as now and yet to
hear tho ceusureof the ordinary foot-ball

cherished, invigorating game, in which
the best brain and brawn of our colleges
participate, with the unmanly professional
slugging matches callod prise fights,
seems to us absurd. We will admit that
the game has been abused, that outside
professionalism and uninforced rules have
often blighted the sport, but we do object
