BOWDO1N COLLEGE AND PEACE
To the Editor Of the Journal:


Your correspondent r. NJ. j., notwithstand-
ing his expressed wish 10 say nothing to re-
fleet unfairly upon any institution of learning
could not easily injure Bowdoin College more
than he does in his communication. do not
see how any candid mind can justify the course
pursued by the students. When they entered
college, they understood fully, that the drill
was part of the course, and that it was re-
quirement to which they must submit. 1t is
no innovation, and is not peculiar to Bowdoin
College. i cannot see how the attitude of the
students can be considered other than rebel
lious and insubordinate, nor wherein it is any
better than schoo-boy attempt to put the
master out Of doors. With equal justice
might the students declare their determine
ton to discontinue, and to abolish from the
college course the study CT mathematics or of
Latin. The principle is precisely the same.
1t does seem particularly unfortunate that the
alumni of Bowdoin College should be struck
by foes in their own household while they are
making strenuous efforts to lift the college
from its pecuniary embarrassment Whether
or not the drill is worthy of preparation, is
inferentially disposed Of in very summary
manner by r. M. j.
cannot agree with him. | admit that the
Quaker doctrine of peace is a beautiful ideali-
ty but it can never be realized till the mllen-
ium. A man would be an arrant coward to
stand by and see his mother injured, without
striking blow in her defence. Our mother
land, the land of our birth, is no less worthy.
Can r. M. j. assert that the war would not
have been shortened by years, and perhaps
would never have been begun fthe young men
of the North had been well drilled in the acts
of war? There is nothing so good to prevent
the robbing of orchards, as to let the boys
know there is watchful bulldog there.
There is nothing so effectual as a proven
tive of war, as the knowledge by other nations,
that we are able and are prepared to repel in
yasion. neglect to acquaint ourselves with
the science of national self protection is q
standing invitation for assaults upon oul
country. l say that no young man should
grow up without at least superficial knowl.
edge of the elements of military drill. Had
the nation possessed a general diffusion OF
this knowledge when the war began, be-
lieve that thousands of precious lives would
have been saved to bless homes that are now
desolate. say, preserve the drill. And while
we place garlands of flowers upon the graves
of our fallen heroes, let us see to it that no
one casts upon their memory the imputation
that they died because they violated the doc
trine of peace. They died to give us peace,
and may we who live to enjoy it, ever honor
their memories. MARTIN.

TI0N PROPOSED.
The students of the three lower classes OF
Bowdoin College, feeling justly aggrieved,
respectfully petitioned the proper authorities
of that institution for the abolition of the mil
itary drill.
offer the following questions and prop
osition:
Was not that petition treated with con.
tempt? Was not the drill obnoxious because
it interfered with the regular literary studies
Was not the drill an extrai addition to the reg
ular course of study? Were not the students
compelled to buy uniforms? Were they not
contemporary addressed by the command
ing officer on the parade ground? Did not
several of the students after the treatment of
their petition ask leave to withdraw from the
college, and were they not denied the right
Was not one student, who at the time was
exempt from the drill, expelled because he
wrote an article for the press and offered his
uniform for sale by notice on the bulletin
board? Is the declaration of one of the Fac
ulty of the College that students have not
the right of petition" a sound principle? If
the Faculty of Bowdoin suspend a student
ought they to be invested with power to drive
that student from town? If he does not leave
Brunswick as ordered is it just to expel him
from college? Is it also principle of justice
when student is expelled from one college
that he be denied the right to enter any other !?
In jew of all this, and furture in view of the
fact that the drill has neither the support of pre-
cedence in our higher educational institutions
nor the favor of public opinion, and further
in view of til fact that the Faculty have sent
the students from town in order to isolate
them from each other and thus break their
influence, and again in view of the last pro-
mitigation of the Faculty ordering them to
sign papers and return to the college in ten
days on penalty of expulsion; l say in view
of all this would it not be well for the l19
students to hold a mass convention at once in
Granite Hall, Augusta, to further consider
their rights as men, and also to ask the pres
ence and sentiments of the alumni and other
interested friends of the college.
