their studies abroad, of Dr. Post and Dr. Baker, and the in- creased interest inspired by. them in their respective depart- ments. ' Additions to the faculty have been as follows: Professor Harry Beals, to the chair of systematic theology, Professors Hoffman, Fallas and Haskell, in the preparatory departmentg Professors O'Neal and Wentworth, in the school of music, Professor Fisher, in the school of art, and Lieutenant Williams, in the school of military science. We mention with pleasure the great progress in several of the departments of instruction, and desire to refer especially to the thoroughness and efiiciency of work done in the departments of biology, chemistry, politi- cal philosophy, English literature, oratory and Latin. This is manifested by the large number of students taking elective and honor work in these departments. P The military department, since the arrival of Lieutenant Williams, has been characterized by increased thoroughness and regularity in drill and by interest manifested by the stu- dents. Our eflicient librarian, Dr. Post, and his able assistant, deserve special notice for the rearranging and cataloguing of the I6,000 volumes and numerous periodicals of our library-a work which has in convenience and accommodation to the students met a long-felt want. The Pan Hellenic spirit among the fraternities has been steadily increasing. jealousy and bigotry are fast dying out. The idea is rapidly growing that new students should be given ample time to make a deliberate choice among organizations which to such a great extent influence their college career. Present merits rather than past record is more and more recog- nized as the standard of excellence. The word fraternity 'i is acquiring a new signiticance, referring to a harmony of social and literary tastes. In the midst of this great work of reform in our University, under such auspicious circumstances and surrounded by such brilliant prospects for the future, with nothing in view but the welfare and prosperity of the new De Pauw, the Class of ,QI submits to the college world for its careful consideration this issue of THE MIRAGE.

The Platform of the Mirage. di HE Junior class of De Pauw University, in convention as- sembled, pauses on the threshold of its proceedings to do honor to those noble defenders of the rights of the students, and self-sacrificing champions of reform and progress who, in the past, have advocated in the MIRAGE the principles oftruth and justice. We look back with admiration on their unswerving devotion to progress, their persistent opposition to shams and false ideas and the courageous spirit in which they met the petty fiings, the backbitings, and the impotent ravings of those in authority upon whose official feet they, in the exercise of their duty, happened to tread. Their principles have triumphed, their position has been vindicatedg their names will be handed down for inspiration to future classes. We wish again to congratulate the University upon its unparalleled prosperity during the past year, and reaflirm our unswerving devotion to the guiding principles ofthe new adminis- tration, to the unvarying rule of reason and justice, and the growing recognition of the inalienable rights of the student in every department of the institution. Pointing with pride to the abolishing of chapel speeches, the establishment of the Junior performance upon a sensible basis, and noting with pleasure that measures long advocated by us are at last, under the able direction of our executive ofiicer, be- ing-rapidly adopted with the resulting growth and increasing strength attending our institution, we feel renewed confidence this year in the powers and capabilities of the Class of '91. To those fundamental principles, cardinal doctrines and long- standing traditions of our class, around which we have so often rallied, for the triumphs of which we have so often battled, in defense of which we have so often bled, we aflirm an undying D
