in the Illini, but in all the variouH college publications in there an indication of increasing advantages and change in the right direction. Since 18i»2 the character of the graduating exercises has been very different from what it previously was. Up to that time each senior was required to prepare a graduating oration of suitable length, and from this aggregation twelve were selected, the writers of which were accorded the privilege of giving them on Com- mencement Day. The programmes were sometimes a little tedious but the occasion brought a good deal of glory to the orators an d was the source of considerable pleasure to their friends, and while we would not restore the old custom we still miss it. In this connection it may be said that the senior was, in those days, much of an orator, for he was required also to deliver an oration in chapel — and various and excruciating were the agonies which his tortured soul endured before it was over. But not wholly, possibly not chiefly, has the University progressed in the increased number of courses, students and instructors, or in the addition of so much that is material and external; but an equally great change has been made in recent years in University policy. There is, everywhere, more freedom of thought and action, more liberty to develop individual taste and talent, more that is broad and cosmopolitan and that promises for the future a still more satisfactory progress. THOMAS ARKLE CLARK, ' 90. WITH GUITAR ACCOMPANIMENT. Fly softly, birdlings, lest your wings Brush sleep from off her drooping eyes; Fly softly, till the dawning brings The blush again to eastern skies. Breathe gently, zephyr, lest your breath Might float away her happy dreams; Breathe gently — stillness as of death Be o ' er her till the morning beams. 28
