342 THE CLEMSON COLLEGE CHRONICLE. The Pedagogue. Royal Hudson was born in a little Pennsylvania town in which one of the State Colleges is situated. He grew up as most other boys do surrounded by a group of boys about his own age. At the proper age he was placed in the college where many of his play fellows had already begun the life of students. His early friendship with the boys of his immediate neighborhood deepened into the richer attachments that are peculiar to college men; and with several of these friends he soon formed a little group that came to be characterized as the friends. Many happy hours were spent by the friends in out- door sport, or in close communion on the campus. Their greatest intimacy grew from their love affairs ; and, as would be expected, no secrets could possibly be kept. The very thoughts of any one became the property of all. Royal Hudson and Arthur Rembert were close com- panions and composed the inner circle of the friends. Royal had loved Arthur ' s sister, Nonie, from the time when they had played together as children. And as he grew to be a man and she a woman, their love grew from a sentiment to the firm attachment of maturer years. No golden band told the world that they were engaged; and, in fact, neither had ever spoken of the future, But there was that understanding with which loving hearts are bound together, far more enduring than the sentiment of the band of gold. The few years of Royal ' s college life were a season of unalloyed happiness. But to all things human comes the finis. And the fortune of life decreed that he should be separated from the scenes, and later from even the mem- ory of his happiness.

THE CLEMSON COLLEGE CHRONICLE. 341 ture that they contributed ; the Roman, who first reduced government and organization to a science. The star now blazes in the world ' s extreme west, and it is now the appointed time for our own dear country to take the initiative and stand up and do battle for civil rights and liberties, wherever they are endangered in whatever clime. The awful responsibility of leadership against the opposite principle of empire and absolute rule, as exemplified in that other young nation which has grown up so rapidly in Eastern Europe and Asia, rests upon us who have shattered the scepter of the tyrant and broken the shackles of the slave ; who have torn the diadem from off princes ' brows, and placed the fasces of authority in the peoples ' hands. We have promised to lead the human race to a land where justice reigns supreme. Can we make good our promise ? Are we equal to the task to which we have given our hands ? All eyes are upon us, my countrymen, in hope or fear, in prayer or protest. Pause not in this grand career, this march of progress, this war of reformation. So long as we need fight the old order for justice ' s sake, let us not hesitate, They say that war is hell, the ' great accursed, ' The sin impossible to be forgiven, Yet I can look beyond it at its worst, And still find blue in Heaven. Methinks, I see how spirits may be tried, Transfigured into beauty on war ' s verge, Like the flowers, whose tender grace is learned, beside The trampling of the surge. And when I note how nobly nature ' s form Under the war ' s red rain, I deem it true, That he who made the earthquake and the storm, Perchance makes battles too. W. G. Hill, ' 01.
