the trouble to be not indifference, but the lack of a past. The undergraduate spirit is keeping pace with the march of tradition. A few attempts have been made to manufacture the latter precious article, but though partial success has attended these efforts, it cannot compare with the natural growth, evidence of which we begin to discern here and there. The youth of the institution must always be borne in mind. Six years may seem a long time to the student who has droned through his Greek and Mathematics, but it is a short time for such an eternal creature as a tradition. Wrinkles are not natural to the babe's brow. If we see them there the child looks worn, pinched and ugly. Why, on our walls the vines have reached only the first- story windows. The students here now who are trying to put the Glee Club, the Cap and Gown, and the Oratorical association on a paying and successful basis 5 who are trying to rouse more enthusiastic support for the athletic teamsg who are trying to start literary magazines, daily papers and other enterprises-these students are pion- eers. Wait till the ivy has reached the second story casements. Let tradition go its own natural pace and college spirit will take care of itself. . JY-46 ,NZN4 T yi? 51635, xx? X '- ff' .
