During1 the last few years the two literary societies have been search ing" for plans whereby they could better their condition. The Phi Society has made change after change until its machinery would not be'recoernized by a stu dent who left here two years ago. To say the least of it, the new government " is a radical departure from the former regulations; In fact, the Society in trying to rid it self of unnecessary machinery, has divested itself of its own authority and now lies at the mercy of an" un certain and irregular, membership. We can conceive of no changes more radical than the four which have been adopted: Optional mem bership! Optional attendance!! Op tional performance of duty!!! Pub lie exercices!!!! Optional membership is neces sarily the most unobjectionable change, as there are many scientif ic ana optional students- ' who are not in sympathy with society work but the University, in justice to it self, can not afford to allow students of the Classical, Philosophical and Literary courses to enter life as Uni versity representatives, wholly ig norant of . society work and unfa miliar with parliamentary practices A student in any of these courses should be required to join one of the literary Societies and then required by society to attend and perform his regular duties. Optional attendance erives the members of Society the unquestion able right to place society duty after everything else. It puts discount on the value of society: It simply means that when a fellow has no amusement to engage in, nothing else to do, no where else to go, he will be welcome to come over to the society hall and while away the time. The constitution tells a member that its not his duty to at tend, that he is not required or ex pected to be there; but that he is welcome to come when he cannot amuse himself. Optional -performance of duty can have no good effect on the Society as a whole. An inexperienced man A. feels embarrassed when he first stands before an audience. Every time he overcomes and conquers this embarrassment he is a stronger man every time he tails to do this he is a weaker one. Under the present management the society encourages failure- by not attaching any fine or disgrace to nonperformance of duty. In fact it says that it is your will to fail if you wish to do so. The secret of success in life is self confidence and the Phi Society is encouraging only those who are already ; self confident. The su preme aim should not be to please hose who are already interested. but to interest those who are not, and this by a litte temporary force, f necessary. As to public exercises .this would be wise occasionly, but as a general thing it will not lo to allow the Phi Society Hall to be a meeting ground for every class or order of students, for the indolent and curious as well as the attentive, for the simple pur pose, it may be.of witnessing an ex citing election contest or something of the kind. It is true that there is nothing necessarily secret about literary work, but the sancityof the Phi Society and the preservation of order demand the exclusion of the general public except on special and specified ccaslons. The four changes given above are both radical and objectionable. In evey well organized government of any kind, wherever there is a right placed in the hands of the govern ed, there is a corresponding duty to be performed. The trouble with the Phi Society is that it has ex tended the rights and privileges of its members and wholly abolished their duties The logical " result will necesarily be disaster. In try ing" to avoid one extreme we have unconsciously reached an opposite one. In trying to" place the Society on a higher plane we 'have sacrificed authority for too much freedom. No organization can succeed un less sustained by "'authority. This authority, backed by the power which lies in a constitution and self consious membership, must be rig idly and justly executed. Nothing' short of -this will -guarantee us suc cess. We must revert to former principles if we would compete suc cessfully' with our neighbors. Whatever may be the opinion of others 'in this matter we believe that this experiment will prove its own inadequacy and will necessitate yet another chancre.

Want rour trade and will treat you right. W. J. WEAVER, Agent. The Faculty of Harvad have giv 1 1 -4 ' en tne educational world a genuine surprise by , their recent action in making" the course for a decree to extend over three years instead of four. Whatever may be the- result of such action it can not be denied that this is quite a radical and un expected change. It is claimed that at this great educational institution class lines and sectionalism will no longer exist under the new regula tions. It is an illustration on a grand scale of that restless spirit among Americans, which would persuade them to avoid a long, vig orous training, and cause them to leap early into a practical life. The other colleges and Universi ties of the country will watch with interest theis new experiment, and will be prepared to adopt the good and reject the best as is embodied n these new ideas. A.
