GET DRUNK AND FIGHT.
Emperor williams Advice to the Young
Men.

Men.
The Emperor William arrived at Carlsruhe
from Bonn. and was welcomed by his uncle,
the Grand Duke Of Baden. and enthusiast
caly received by the inhabitants. On the
evening before leaving Bonn the Emperor
spent several hours at the beer commers,
which was held to open the summer session
of the Bonn University, such symposia
always being attended by all the
corps or fighting clubs. OF these the crack
corps is that of the Borussia. OF which tho
Emperor himself, when studying at Bonn, was
a nominal member but at this general COM
mershe acted as chairman of the reyels. In
reply TO The health of the Emperor" which
was effusiyely proposed and drunk IN what
is called "a laundering salamander," his Ma
iesty rose and begged TO subscribe 10 every
word which had been spoken In praise OF all
the habits and customs of German student
life and their educationa. importance. lie
said
1T is my firm conviction that every youth
who enters q corps or Deer-drinklng and
dueling club will receive the true direction
of his life from the spirit which prevails In
them. 1t is the best education which young
man can get for his future life. and he who
SCOTS at the German students corps does
not penetrate their real meaning.
hope that as long as there are German
corps students the spirit which IS fostered
in their corps and which is steeled by strength
and courage will be preserved. and that you
will always take delight In handling the duel
lng-blade. There are many people who do
not understand what our duels really mean,
lint that must not lead Us astray. You and 1,
who have been corps students, know better
than that. AS in the Middle Ages manly
strength and courage were steeled by the
practice of jostling or tournaments, SO the
eplrlts and habits which are acquired from
membership of corps furnish us
with that degree of fortitude which ~
necessary 10 US when we go out into the
world and which will last as long as
there are German universities. You nave
been good enough to refer to my son (the
Crown Prince) and / give you my hearty
thanks for doing so. ] trust that the young
man. when he is advanced enough, Will ma
circulate here and join your clubs, ana that
he will then meet with the same kindly senti-
nents that were extended to me. And now
word TO those young freshmen who are but
BEGINNING TO lead a corps life. Train your
courage. your discipline and your obedience
without which we cannot as a State continue
70 live and | trust that many ofnclals ana Oh
fcers will emerge from your midst"
This remarkable speech 10y the Emperor
was arpauded to the echo by his youthiul
