' . . - n ' one qsmgnusfs 1 gmniana Bwtal Qtnuige is 1904 annual THE LIGHT ANDITHE DARKNESS ' As a foreign student, I like to- describe the student life in the colleges of both Russia and America. I realize that the students of both countries are going for the same pur- poseg butlhovv different is their life, their thoughts, -I their talks, and even their songs. I am very glad to see how the American students are so happy. I am very proud to hear their song, My Coun- try, 'Tis of Thee. I like to see ho-W they are free, how they love their country, countrymen and government. And being with them I am happy myself. I am becoming aciti- zen in this dear country, and the thought is a joyful one. But I am very unhappy when I think about the life of my poor fellow countryman student. I-Io-W unhappy he is! A Russian college is just like a jail. One can not talk and say his thoughts. I He can not sing what he Would. I-Ie is a slave. ' But he loves his country still, though he hates his gov- ernment. He is living in a land of oppressive darkness with only the pale light of a Hickering star to breakthe heavy gloom of hopeless despair. I. GOLDMAN. 9 This article was written by -a native of Russia, who has left his benighted land to take up the study of Dentistry as Americans teach it. 1

One red-headed Irish- man on the front row jumps to his feet and waves his hands over his head, as if celebrating good o-ld St. Patrick's Day, ' and shouts: Be gorrah! Boys, ' this committee is all right. . The German element expresses its disapproval of the re- port, which has so shocked Van Der Volgenpthat he faints dead away. Somebody near the committee, who- evidently sympathizes with its members in its trying time, arises to express the sentiments' and offer his condolence and also, at the same time, his approval of the decision reached. p ff' A I y A .E -,Q 1 w 3 4 . f In formal manner, the motion is made and seconded to accept the report of the committee, and when the vote is taken only those of German ancestry vote against the measure. , - I just then the lecturer for the next hour-Dr. Hurty- entered the room and sniffed -the air-maybe it was close in the' room, for so much heat and energy had been ex- pended in the last fifteen minutes. As soon as the Doctor's presence was known to all a motion to adjourn was of- fered. In the same breath that the second was heard, Dob- son was also heard trying to put a motion that Dr. I-Iurty take the Seniors to the brewery next Monday. His mo- tion was ruled out and the other b-rought to a vote. But the votewas not quite reached, and, in fact, it was scarcely necessary to bring the class meeting to a formal close, for those who had been made to take seats in the front began a scramble for their seats in the back rows as soon as ad- journment was suggested. So the last vote was lost, ale though the motio-n was carried by general consent of the members present. Thus closed the meeting of the Class of ,O4, I. D. C. ROBERT GILLIS.
