SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT Like all colleges of creditable standing, we have the honor system. Every boy is his own master. It is largely due to this fact that so many men have left our University, strong not only in mind, but also in character. And surely the spiritual development is an important factor in a man’s education. One of the greatest crimes of the age is for parents to send their boys to reform schools, or where they are watched like criminals. How can individuality be gained? What type of character will be produced? Let the parents send their boys to a school where the honor system is used. At first it may seem to have a bad influence on him, for when he neglects his duty, seemingly, there is no punishment. But when he finds out that he has failed, and that there is no one to punish him, it is then when a boy’s manhood will rise up and rebuke him for his folly. That boy is very apt to correct the error of his way. But we admit that this is a costly lesson; but better be learned in this way than not at all. But we are glad to say that it is only the exception that has this experience, for usually a boy realizes his responsibility in a short time, and struggles to succeed. ATHLETICS The progress of the Univeraity also includes athletics. We are rapidly advancing in that part of our school life. Our foot ball team this year was probably the best in the history of the University. We had two sets of backs, both so good that it was hard to tell which were the regulars. We were very unfortunate in having quite a number of our men hurt this year. Four of the regular team were hurt in the beginning of the year, and were laid cut for the rest of the season. But undaunted, we finished the season with our dear old Cardinal flying proudly. Seeing the great advancement made by our foot ball team under proper coaching, we have this year a base ball coach for the first time. For although we usually have fine material, the team work has not been good from the lack of proper coaching.
