aH, 26 The Colonel CREDIMUS A little sense—just now and then— Is relished by the worst of men. The U. of L. will one day be the peer of any of her great sister universities. The sons and daughters of our Alma Mater, whom she has prepared for the battle of Life, will win for her what laurels they can. Prodesse quam conspici is the motto of the servants of Love, and the secret of human happiness. The converse of this proposition serves the slaves of Ambition, and explains the lamentable fate of many an historic hero. The purpose of a university is to mold thinkers, not to fashion cultured masks. Honors obtained by puffed averages, and games won with loaded dice or marked cards, are on a par. A is the most popular letter at the U. of L., but B, with its beautiful curves, is far superior to the angular A, and stands out much more prominently on the report. While the world is growing better, there is still ample room for improvement. In leaving the via media, it is difficult to realize in which direction one is going, since both above and below there is gross indulgence in the popular vices. The former relation between parent and child has been reversed. It ought to read, viz.: Parents should be seen, not heard. Self-sacrifice is much oftener heard than seen. When woman becomes the equal of man, she will lose her superiority as woman. In future ages Politeness will be known as the lost art of the Twentieth Century. The modern eulogistic epitaphs engraven on handsome monuments testify to the contrary of Mark Antony's oft-repeated couplet: The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.”
