Many of the students do not seem to
realize that the ARGUS-- the only sti-dent
publication in th , college and
aims to forward the interests of the
student body. Its success is due, in a
measure, to the support it receives
from those whose interests it advocates.
There are those in the! college who
could aid very materiaffy by giving
occasional contributions, of various
kinds. The amount ojf work neces-sary
to come before you cach week, is
greater than most ima gne, and the
editors desire very much! your co:op-eration
in this undertalking. If you
have a literary article,! local item,
poem or story, you will greatly oblige
the heads of these departments by giv-ing
them your contribution. There
is another way, however, in which all
can help. The paper cannot be pub-lished
without expense and we want
you to share the burden. We do not
ask something for nothing in return,
but offer you the paper for- the entire
year at the exceedingly low rate of
one dollar. Quite a number of the
students have already sulscribed but
we hope to obtain the more unanimous
support of the school. Subscribe for
the ARGuS.
The twentieth century demands a
more practical education than the one
that has preceded it. There is no
room for a theorist unless he can put
his theories to some practica~: purpose.
He who would win the laurels of this
age must be intensely in earnest, and
practical. What a century of oppor-tunities,
opportunities such as the
world has never seen before! No gen-eration
has ever had such a chance for
development. With the aid of the
combined results of the past century-a
time that has surpassed all preced-ing
centuries-with the wealth of the
ages at our commafld, with the inspi-ration
of the past and ambition for
the future, we have crossed the thresh-old
of this marvelous century and en-tered
upon an age resplendent with
possibilities and fraught with respon-sibilities.
Whether the present gen-eration
will meet it in the proper man-ner,
time- only, can tell.
"To be or not to be," was the ques-tion
which our football team had to
decide a few weeks ago. To be or
neer to be, will be settled very -soon.
The first thing an athlete must
learn when he trains for a place on a
teafn, is to discipline himself. He
should readily and willingly impose on
himself many hardships because he
sees they are necessary if he would
succeed. We know how much has
been said. and truthfully too, regard-
