DEAN OF MEN One of the most admirable traits in human character is unflinching loyalty. Almost no other quality is so keenly desired and so diligently sought as that of unswerving devotion to a worthy cause. Vour college has given you and the State of Wisconsin forty years of efficient, unselfish service. In return she asks for your continued loyalty to her and your unstinted co-operation in the furtherance of the great cause of education

It is an exercise in Public Speaking to repeat a sentence with the emphasis on a successive word each time; consequently, it would be possible to give the sentence, Why do we live?’ with four different emphases. If we should do this, I am sure the thought would grip the mind and make us live the more thoughtfully all our days. In the early history of our country lived a lad who might have been a Freshman in our own institution; he gave a fitting answer to this question, Why do we live? He was not like the Freshman who, when asked this question, answered, I don t know, I guess we live to die! This lad of early American days said: So live that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves To that mysterious realm where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him and lies down to pleasant dreams.

Hoae Econowici De-pertinent THE normal school idea was conceived in the East and brought to Wisconsin in territorial days. An attempt to provide for such institutions was made in the constitutional convention of 1846, but was futile. In the constitution of 1848, however, the movement progressed under the leadership of the Rev. Eleazer Root of Waukesha. A school fund was set aside, part of it appropriated to support and maintenance of normal schools. This was the beginning.
