10 THE HESPERIAN STUDENT. ADDITIONAL LOOAL. When you want to hold caucusses, boys, remember the distant portions of tho campus were intended expressly for thai purpose by a beneficent and far-seeing Board or Regents. There-organized Cadet Band loomcth. We shall have something considerable to say of 'em next issue if the new bus. man., Frank Wheeler, holds out sufficient inducement. "Political Institutions," by Herbert Spencer, being part rifth of tho Principles of Sociology," has just been pub lished by D. Applelon & Co We hope to see it ere long on our library shelves. New students, you all want tho Student. Then sub scribe at once and keep your (lies from the time you enter TneyMl be something jou won't put with-no, not for money- when your college days arc over. At an adjourned meeting of the Hesperian Association John Dryden was elected auxiliary loc:il and George Hitchcock literary editor. Their names will join (ho 'bright galaxy o' wit, talent and beauty" that is constel lated on our editorial page. (The composi'or has received nothing thus far--for this.) FALL IX. University Cadets, they're whom wo mean. Wednesday at five o'clock p. m. the campus was once moic the scene of "grim visaged war." About sixty students assembled and were organized. Friday afternoon drilling will be. gin in earnest. Every cadet should be promptly on hand and aid Lieut. Townley in perfecting the organization. Let us have a genuine military spirit and animated work in this department. Vacation is over. Again the old halls reecho unto merry voices; for of all persons students arc the happiest. Yes, school life is pleasant; in after yean so grey heads tell us, school life is looked back upon as the happiest period of a lifetime and why not thus? Here the young gather together, blossom from youth to manhood mid spend the first 3 ears of maturity. Of the trials mid disap poiulments of life they have not yet tasted. Buoyant in spirit, ambitious of the future, mapping out the pathways for their life-journey in us, building air castles for their fu ture icsideucc, what different community of circumstance could act to make any other kind of life so enjoyable as the 3 ears spent at school ? At the close of school in the spring how glad we were when the last examination paper was handed in, how we felt like throwing up our hatH ami standing on our heads (that i., the bos.) We were tiled of school then, we had been at our books for nine long inon ths. Our poor, over taxed brains and emaciated bodies demanded a change; hence we gladly welcomed the three montli3 vacation. Now that our time for recuperation is up we aro as anx ions to begin school again as wo were to close in the spring. Auothei 3 ear of hard work lies before us. Let us make the moitt of it. As we look back over the past year and note the mistakes and shortcomings, the oppoiliinitles for improvement we have allowed to slip by unheeded, let uv resolvo this year to profit by them uud gain more from this year's labor than from any previous one. Ernest H. Bross, a graduato of Doauo College, '81, was a welcome caller a the Student sanctum yesterday. Mr. Bross goes to Omaha the first of November to take charge of an editorial lesk In the Western Newspaper Union office and wo are sure goes with him the best wish of the Student. Miss Emma Willard, tho lady historian, writing forty years ago, said that she saw in the iniquities of the mis named Holy Alliance of her day the inception of Hint great European Confederacy of the future in whose au gust annual council the lesser states of Europo should have voice and inllucncc. It is sad to confess as one must that there is substantially no progress toward her hoped for Assembly. The "Five Groat Thieves" of Eu rope are, if possible, more dominant and arrogant than ever. Byron wrote after the fall of Napoleon:"! suppose we shall go back to tho wearisome business of balancing straws on kings' noses instead of tweaking them off." This balancing problem is becoming more interesting and difficult every year. J.'(Q. QwA' aeadf S(5t5t7 TERMS, One Copy one O ollege Year, $1.00. " Half Year, .50.
