EDITORIAL NOTES.
A number of students were pleased to meet
Representative Corbin in the halls just preceeding
his departure for home. Every student who has
watched his course in regard to the University has
ample reason to thank Mr. Corbin for his services.
The University had no better or abler champion in
the entire house of representatives. That the Uni
versity has sufficient funds at hand to continue its
existence is, to a great extent, the work of Represen
tative Corbin.
The legislature has adjourned thanks to a most
merciful Providence. The University did not fare
so badly as had been expected. If it had, its ruin
would have been only a question of a few years. As
it is the University has been left in somewhat strait
ened circumstances, but no material injury is feared.
Let every friend of the University profit by ths win
ters experience and be prepared in the future for
such attacks as have been made during the last ses
sions or the legislature. "Forewarned is forearmed,"
The last issue of The Hesperian caused some
surprise. An apology is useless. Owing to the en
forced absence of the editor-in-chief the paper was
left in the control of a brilliant ? Senior. His gen
ius was well established by the scoring he managed
to give the absent editors. An opportunity for a
joke was given and it was well improved. The bio
gniphical sketch of the board of editors was a vile
slander. However the students enjoyed the perusal
of the last issue and the board can afford to swallow
crow for once.
LITERARY.
Among many interesting and curious things that may be
learned from Gogol's new book, " Dead Souls," there are
not lacking many good lessons, evidently intended for the
reader. To Americans these lessons cannot, of course, be
brought home with the same force as to Russians, for an
American misses much of the reality of the lessons, and 01
the incidents illustrating them. Still, many of the teachings
contained in the book arc so broad as to include all mankind.
Patriotism, like grief, is of no nationality, and England,
America, and France, as well as Russia, may learn a lesson
on the duty of patriotism from the book, "Dead Souls." All
through the story there is'an undercurrent that at times be-
