' - Pass in Review Regarding Mr. Brisbin, soon to be conductor of the band, Sergeant Crawford was recently heard to re- mark, Yes, I'm going to have an assistant next week.

Many inquiries have been made concerning the uniform of the piano player at the celebration dance. Some have said it was that of the Feder- ation of Musicians: this report was oflicially denied. He belonged to the Plumbers' Union. It remained for Custer to show us the latest thing in sanitary and airy night gowns as they are all the vogue in Logansport. Ned, reading report of the Kaiser's abdication to Holland, I see the Kaiser is in Dutch. L.9..l. Our New Faculty Lake Forest college is very fortu- n'ate this year in securing Professor Alfred Gould as assistant in the Ro- mance Language Department. Pro- fessor Gould was educated' in France and Italy both in Romance Languages and Architecture. Mr. Gould has taken part in the construction of several bank buildings in Europe. Desiring to give our government the benefit of his wide knowledge of languages he returned to this country and is doing his best to make our S. A. T. C. men thoroughly acquaint- ed with these languages. .Mr. Kurzin, Professor McNeil's new assistant in Mathematics, comes to us well recommencled. He received his B. A. degree from' the University of Chicago in 1914, and the following year his-.M. S. degree. After that he worked in a chemical laboratory for one year. For the last two .years he ha taught Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry in the McKinley High School in. Honolulu.

HE war is over. There is no mistake, no false alarm this time. The drastic conditions of the armistice are sufficient guar- antee that Germany will not 'begin again. The big task seems to be completed. But is it? The morning papers of the coming days and weeks, and perhaps months will be eagerly sought after, for they will bear the news of what will be clone in the great work of reconstruc- tion. How, and how soon will the 'Ae-ray be demobilized? Who is going to rebuild France? What is going to be done with the S. A. T. C. These are' questions the answers for which we may have to wait weeks or months. Meanwhile let us not slacken up our determination to do our best in the work before us. The man who is at present inducted into the S. A. T. C. and the man who had intended toenlist may feel that there is no longer a necessity or opportunity for him in the work of the S. A. T. C. It is not altogether surprising if such rt feeling is encountered. But there are several excellent rea- sons why we should not get into that way of thinking. The first is that American soldiers may have to sit on the lid in Europe long enough for things to quiet down over there. More troops may have to be sent to Russia to straighten things out. Secondly, in order to obtain the real- ization of his principles of a perman- ent and just world-wide peace,- President Wilson will need the sup- port of the United States Army. Any slackening of our efforts here will undermine that support just so much. If universal military training is in- stituted in this country officers will be needed. What is more natural than that these otiicers should come from the S. A. T. C. Finally, the opportunity to go to college with all expenses paid and thirty dollars a montlrbesides, is the greatest thing in an educational way that has ever been offered. The gov- ernment has the use of this college contracted for until the first of next July. We will all be here until that time. You may consider that an ad- vantage or an unavoidable necessity. That depends on your point of view, and ,whether or not you realize the wonderful opportunity which the S. A. T. C. is offering. But it is a fact which must be faced, and he who is wise will make the best of it. So let's put the best there is this thing-as if the war starting. in us into were only igi. n Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees, Sweet freedom's song, Let mortal tongues awake, Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong. L. F. C. has been singing this with more or less vigor all year. But none of us realized until last Thurs- day what real enthusiasm meant. We have all shrieked ourselves hoarse at football games and mass meetings, but these have always been pre-ar- ranged and more or less cut and dried. Last Thursday, however, will long be remembered in L. F. C. his- tory. The enthusiasm was spontan- eous. No one wanted to see what any one else would do. Music swell- ed the breeze of its own accord, and mortal tongues awoke with much en- ergy. Ferry Rocks, Acad Rocks, and College rocks burst forth with loud sounds, and the few walking mauso- leums that refused to brake silence were 'unwept, unhonored, and un- sung'-in fact they weren't even missed from the parade, -QT ' Patronize our advertisers because they are the leading dealers of our com- munity. They are patronizing our product-let's patronize theirs! Turn 'about is fair play -now let's do our part and show them how much it pays to stand by the Qollege. ROBABLY almost everyone who ever took a pen in hand for the expression of his ideas will write something concerning the ef- fect of peace and the problems of re- construction, but we will not be pre- sumptuous enough to attempt to tackle such a large question. We will merely attempt to give our idea of what should happen here in the Lake Forest S. A. T. C. Almost every man at Lake Forest College is now being paid by the government for receiving a good education. Therefore, the cessation of hostilities should have absolutely no effect upon the efficiency or the spirit of the Student's Army Train- ing Corps. We should consider our being educated as an investment that our government is making and should deem it a point of honor to make the investment pay. The idea of those responsible for the S. A. T. C. plan was never solely to train soldiers. If it had been, we should have been sent directly to a camp devoted ex- clusively to getting troops in condi- tion to go overseas. The need for educated men to carry on the work of reconstruction both here and abroad was foreseen, and the unexpectedly early signing of the armistice should serve as a stimulus for harder work rather than as a cause for letting down, for we will be needed all the sooner to help in solving the great problem of readjustment in the period following the declaration of peace. .-0.1 The Stentor edits are doing their best to give you a snappy college paper. Crab all you want about our mistakes. We know they are there. But help solve the problem by giving us the news as you know it. Try handing us an editorial-a. bit of news-a breezy story-or even a poem. Do it now and see if the Stentor doesn't improve won- dcrfully. , --o-- . There has been some misapprehen- sion upon.the part of the men as to when they could use the gymnasium. The impression seems to have been that the women had the use of the Gym every afternoon. As a matter of fact, they only have it-on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3-:30 to 5:30. The men are urged to take advantage of the gymnasium at all other times. The swimming pool has been empty so far this year because the city water is not adapted for this purpose. The college has opened up a new well and Mr. Hahnke promises us that 'the pool will be filled, pro- bably by the time this Stentor is is- sued. '

A close observer, a student of human naturefa-nd 'having a keen wit, he was singularly well-'equipped for newspaper work, especially special assignment un- dertakings. This he did to some extent with The Argus and more generally Afor newspapers with, which 'he was subse- quently -.,, employed.

The last time I saw Robineau 1,081 we were, as usual, speaking of Lake Forest, and he quite expressed my ideas when he said that regardless of the other institutions he had attended, there was no place that had the attraction for him, and there was no place that symbolized so much ioy for him, as Lake Forest. 1916.
