free standing movements have for an ultimate aim the harmonious adjustment of the body. The German system of heavy apparatus systematically strengthens the body. The American and Delsarte system of exercise follows, and grace and ease in bodily movements are gained by the use of dumb-bells, Indian clubs, wands, bowling, archery, and marching. Notwithstanding the fact that the State has never assisted this part of the college, the students, aided by some of the professors, have made a reasonable showing. One of our athletes has the South¬ western record for the one hundred yard dash, (time 10 sec.), and running broad jump, (distance 21 feet). If the Legislature comes to our assistance with a liberal appropriation, we will do our Alma Mater credit in this line also. The legislatures have held so long to that effete, moss-grown idea that athletics detract from study, that it is hard for them to let go. Their ethical principles once came near forcing them to prohibit foot ball entirely Foot ball does, indeed, have its bad side. Ribs are broken, joints strained, eyes gouged out, teeth dislocated, collar bones fractured—sometimes. But it has its good side. It has intellectual and moral relations. The game demands presence of mind, quickness of thought and action. The players are on the field ; their opponents arrayed ; judgment is important. Inferences must be made, evidence considered immediately. The tackling is swift and sure; fumbling is death. It also creates a fraternal feeling. Socialists are clamoring for a co-operative basis of society; let them see a foot ball game, and they will know what real co-operation is. Literary Societies The average student is pretty thoroughly occupied with text-books, yet some time is given to society work. There are two societies that seem permanently established : The Mathetian and Garland. The former is composed of eollegiates of both sexes ; the latter of young men from the preparatory and collegiate departments. The work has been of a commendable grade. Here again the students have been left to themselves, this time by the professors. If credit towards a degree were given in elocution and oratory, the incentive to literary work would be much greater. Fraternities and Clubs The present age is one of organizations and conventions. This is true of the world and also of college. There is an attractiveness about secret orders. We long to associate with something mysterious, to have a great, oppressive .secret burdening our souls, to understand mystic winks and nods. There have been several ephemeral, quixotic secret organizations. Representatives of these are the M. O. W. R., S. U. N., and Quipu. These have long ago perished. Only last year flourished a tender flower, the J. J. J’s., composed of nine young ladies. The drouth and heat of summer withered it, and now it is no more Its life, though short, was brilliant; its death lamented by many—boys. The latest club is the Big 4, composed of young men. It is just another evidence that man has become a social animal. The above are organizations of the hour. In the last few years the Greek letter fraternities have been introduced. There are at present five fraternities organized: Kappa Sigma, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Alpha, Chi Omega, Delta Phi. Though the fraternities are late accessions, they are well organized. Such are the impressions of a student. To us, our University is the best, but it is as uncommon for a son to complain of his college as to complain of his paternal roof. Happy is he who has two mothers whom he may worship. 15
