THE CURTAIN FALLS
As the curtain goes down on
the first act we glance back over
the events of the term. We
have enjoyed the work of getting doing this
different kinds of athletics after
they come here. This is an
immense handicap to us since
the larger teams that we play
draw from their prep schools
men already trained in athletics.
To overcome our handicap the
Council advances the scheme of
high school traning in athletics
in the sta te. The plan is to get
some loyal alumnus of tne Uni
versity to give a few hours each

CN A GCCD TERM
In many respects this has been
the best term since, clad in
the scanty clothes of youthfu
lSfnorauce, we enter.d upon the
life of the University com
niunity. This vear our weak
ness has been the cause of
strength, and from ' our bad
has sprung- up a new -rood. This
fall the student -'-body has been
together, as never before, and the
students have felt with a hither
to unawakened spirit that
their's is a common interest. Tliis
Jechng has given expression to
itself in the form of a new insti-
, tution class and society smokers.
They are an endeavor to get
together, and are good. There
is, though one danger in connec
tionwith them, and that is that
they be abused. They are
liable to follow the cc rses of
individualism and punning and
run to seed immaturely; or their
novelty may add too much in
flammabihty and allow them to
burn themselves out before their
time. They are fine but delicate
things, and as such must be
guarded jealously and used with
discretion.
A SPECIFIC INSTANCE
Among the steps in the right
direction here this fall was that
of the Student Ccuncil when it
entered upon a wider field of
activity and assumed a new
dignity and place in the Univer
sity life. It has become a
Greater University Council, and
is striving to bring together in
every way the uinerent pam
we begin to derive much benefit
from it. This is the one serious
drawback to it. since it is a com
mon human failing to desire to
see immediate effects and not to
want to do anything that will
bring in benefits farther off than
the ends of our noses. But
despite this chronic affectation
of the race the plan is a good
one. lhe trouble will come
in, though, in getting "loya
alumni" to coach the teams
Not many of them have the time
cut n tne senior(ciass eacn year
could receive good coaching in
the game there would be enough
good teachers going out into the
state each year with footbal
training- to coach every team in
the state.
IN THE MEANTIME
We have a good captain ; for
the team. Big Ab "has won the
respect and admiration of the
entire studen t body by his untir
ing- work and dogged fig-ht. He
never lets up. vyhen the rest
of the team slumps youcan always
et on him as being there and
opening up a hole through his
tackle. We are glad to see him
captain and extend to him the
tearty best wishes of the Univer
sity. Captain, we wish tor you
many happy returns from the
games.
OUR WISHES
Now as we see before us the
ruddy glow of the open fire
God's first blessing, and catch
the odor of good things from the
pantry intended for bad little
boys iust back' from college, as
we can almost feel ourselves
strolling along on a clear frost v
day by the side of a set of furs
from whose depths peeps a bright
vivacious face we cannot refrain
from exclaiming with Tiny Tim
"God bless us every one," and
adding "A Merry Christmas to
all, and to all a good-day."
KEAKING CONCLUSION
JNow that t he days draw near
to the holidays and we glimpse
in our dreams the festive board
spread for the home-come prodv
gal we begin to feet the Yuletide
spirit in our bones. Not even
the ridiculosities of Pickwickian
affairs nor the freshness of the
torpedo throwers can entirely
take away our good spirits; for
we see in them the same spirit
of joy that perambulates through
our frame, only they are still in
the primitive state where the
savage can only give expression
to his happiness by making a
'Big Noise." But as time casts
his lengthening shadows upon
heir advancing years they will
pf the college life, relate them, continue in the j-rocess of their
