in (1 A boy d nantl) \\ d( r ners. DIG THIS. By Mary Back in 1872 the first campus magsine, T i l l ! S T l D E N T , was publishI. In loking through its first "glorious issues, this is what we found : "Sonu' of the students who seem to have but little work to do have formed inter-collegiate chess, baseball, and billiard associations. Certainly the good sense of the young men of this campus will prevent such tournaments. Students should have a higher aim in life than • emulate the traveling ball players of the country." Chapel attendance, we found out, was compulsory, but the students decided it was not sinful to study on Sunday beause, after all—"It the Lord justifies man for helping the ass from the pit on the Sabbath day, much more will H e justify the ass for trying to help himself out." And, then, there was this fascinating bit from an editorial: " I n this manner. Inquiry is the Ariadne, that presents to the searcher for truth the clue that enables him to penetrate and unravel the worse than Cretan labyrinth, in which lurks the Hydra-headed Minotaur, Error." • A I i "Of cut and d 50, w e l l . ] McClure * » Crowde din between essays on Beau Ahademie," "Spirituality/' "Insectivourous Plants," "Agriculture in Asia short .Mi- nor," etc., we found one story" in which, after a long treatise on the evil effects of nicotine, a plot was found—a young student makes his New Year's resolution, "1 will give up this health-harming habit." Another short story found in a later issue was about a beautiful, wealthy girl who wanted to be happy but didn't know how. I )u\ she get a date, chug-alug, Or sleep through her eight o'clocks for a week ? ( >h, no. She went tor ;i walk, sobbing over her miseries. T h e n a little fairy appeared, and danced around singing, "Be Happy!" and finalls got to the point which was "I Am Industry. M y time and talent I spend in making others happy." T h e dear girl then decided to immitate the fairy. T h e final line went like t h i s — " 1 he breezes were sighing and the leaves were nodding, and they said, 'Find happiness in work'." "Baachus has drowned more men than Neptune," the magazine pointed out. But we found that even in 1 <S78 a fewstudents had an imagination. Someone wanted to k n o w — " W h o was the student who inebriated himself Saturday on brandy peaches ?" Occasionally "jokes" were printed: L e t t e r to a college professor: "Sure as you are a man of noledge, I will enter my son in your skull." And there was this one: Say nothing uttered in whispers. See nothing covered with whiskers." In the October issue of 1 S73 someone asked T H E S T U D E N T to publish "Incidents which happen in chapel, library recitation and society rooms." T h e answer w a s : " D o we want to take up a University paper and see recorded there in black and white that some sublime specimen of manhood tied Miss B's apron strings to her chair, etc.? Let the paper be filled with the best productions of the students." A fashion note of the same year was that the women students began the tail of wearing pencils on long strings attached to their belts. Let's give the class of '80 a triple Oskee-Wow-Wow for their farsightedness. T h a t year they began petitioninj the trustees to build new student dormi tories. j.
