M. BURK MANN JANUARY 1,1 tlie East and the West held their annual contest in football. Captain-elect Riegels, of California, grabbed the ball and ran seventy yards —towards the WRONG GOAL. Three-fourths of our entire population who “listened in” on this game, or read about it, had a hearty laugh at this unfortunate performance. All of which makes one think of the number of persons in high school and in college, in the professions and in business, who are running the Wrong Way—some for seven years, some for seventy. In fact, such blunders are so common, so ordinary, that people do not laugh at them any more. Moral: Before you grab the ball, look around, locate your goal, and then head straight towards IT. M. BURR MANN.

EMPKROR MAIU’IS Al'RKLIl'S in his “Meditations” speaks thus of his indebtedness to his various teachers : “From . . . Verus I learned good morals and the government of my temper; from mv father, modesty and manly character; from Appolonius, freedom of will, undeviating steadiness of purpose and how to receive from friends what are esteemed favors, without being humbled by them or letting them pass unnoticed; from Alexander, to refrain from faultfinding; from Maximus, self-government, not to be led aside by anything, cheerfulness in all circumstances, and to do what was set before me without complaining.” Not all knowledge is to be secured from books. We hope that from associations with teachers and fellow students you have derived some of the benefits w hich mold and develop good character, a priceless asset.
