Cassiua, ' 'Mothinks he doth protest too lnuoh. ' '
Ilia patriotism is over-hot, his eountry-lovo
too liory, his living words too glowing. His
patriotism has something of the smolting
pot about it. lie hath a "lean and hungry
look" for salary-drawing; ho sounds in brass
and adiposo oiliees. lie loves tho gold braid
too well and tho metallic ring of his yellow
hiltcd sword. Ho nay be a showy figure at
military functions; but he is mighty poor stuil'
at Spanish lighting. Shame on this pseudo
patriotism; shame on this, ofiiee-grabbing,
honor seeking, political-pulling gang of holi
day soldiery who prat of patriotism and enlist
for love of sel f and self alone. Hardly a slate
has made its appointments in furnishing its
gustq of troops without having reeking-scan-dals
connected therewith. Wo want to know
if American patriotism will endure this sort
of stuff? Wo are wondering if American man
hood will submit to the selling and bartering
of military oiliees for political favors? College
men caunot understand the practice; will col
lege men set the seal of condemnation on it
as they should?

During the year just closing more students
than ever before have been turning their eyes
toward the University and have been prepar
ing themselves for entrance later. Of these,
a largo number have during the year attend
ed the Prepare Innj School to the State Uni
versity, organized a year ago and established
iu the University School of Music building,
with C. W. Wallace at the helm as director.
That the corps of seven instructors during
the year has been alrong goes without saying,
for they are well known to all old-time Uni
versity students. From the number of stud
ents in attendance during tho first year, it is
evident that the Preparatory School is com
ing to bo regarded as the logical place to pre
pare for tho University. Tho records of the
School show an attendance of V2) different
students during the first year up to date.
When it is realized that almost every one of
these expects to go through the Uuiversity, it
will readily bo appreciated that, in this insti
tution, the University has the largest and
best auxiliary helper in the state. AVith en
