20 Illinois Industrial University. who is willing, for the sake of an education, to practice steadily the virtues of industry and economy. GOVERNMENT. The University is designed for men, not children, and its government rests in an appeal to the manly feeling and sense of honor of its students. It has but one law, and that is, " Do EIGHT." If any student shall show himself so weak or corrupt that he can not, when thus treated, refrain from vicious conduct, he will receive permission to leave the institution, where his presence can only injure others, without being of any benefit to himself. But no pains will be spared to counsel the inexperienced, to admonish the careless, and to save the tempted. Especially will it be an object to establish and maintain that high toned, refined, and honorable public sentiment, which is at once the best safeguard against meanness and vice, and a constant inspiration to nobleness and virtue. LITEBAET SOCIETIES. Two literary societies have already been organized by the students — the Philomathean, and the Adelphic — and measures are being taken by each to secure libraries. DONATIONS.
