Drawn and Brain.


There is an excellent rule prevailing at
Harvard university concerning athletics.
It is that no student shall participate in
intercollegiate sports unless he maintain a
certain standing in his studies. He must
prove by his college work that he is in
tellectually industrious. or he cannot be-
come, or remain, one OF the physical
champions and heroes of the university.
That the rule is enforced is proved by
the fact that an excellent ballplayer
and a good oarsman lost their places
on the nine and on the crew this year by
it's application. The authorities of Har-
ward are as proud as any boy among the
under graduates of the athletic fame OF
their university, but they Insist that ath-
work, There is no incompatibility between
excellence in each the present chairman

lie never found that strong and health
ful body interfered with his mental
work. And why should there be any
doubt of it? The Olympian races
did not interfere with the prog
ress of the Greeks in arts and let
ters Alcibiades was keen wit. an ac-
complished soldier, an astute diplomat,
skillful traitor, notwithstanding his super
iority in manly sports. That boy ought
to be good all-round student who gets up
early in the morning for run and swim,
who sees the first sunburst of the day,
catches the opening chorus of the birds,
and inhales the sweet scents of dewy ma
ture. who later in the afternoon brings all
his physical forces into play, and retires
early TO bed to the sleep that refreshes
BODY pleasantly fatigued. There is an in
congruity between excessive fatigue and
intellectual labor, but none between tenn
perate exercise and study, and therein lies
The wisdom of the rule adopted al Harvard.
Itmay be that such a rule will sometimes
result in the defeat of one university by
the representatives of another where
different policy prevails. Whether or not
the regulation obtains at Yale We do not
know. but il can easily be seen that coll
iese which permits any of its students To
make athletics supreme may often con-
nuer one in which sport Is made sabordi-
nate 10 learning. But that is Il small mat
ter. Where sport is ruled by intelligence
il will not dag. for il is good in Itself. and
under system which insists on the sane
mind, the sound body will ind its proper
place and the old Greek ideal of temper
ance will be realized.

PSALM FROM THE FRONT ROW.
Chicago Tribune.

SuiCuSO
Tell me not III merry accents,
That have an unthatched roof:
IT'S the hairy head that lacks sense
Balances Is oft thought proof
Hair Is vulgar, hair is useless,
And the brush and comb bore:
Making life but dull and juiceless,
need brush and comb no more.
Not for wise men matted hair is,
Black or brown, or red or fair;
Let the savage OF the prairies
Waste his time in raising hair.
Life is short and hairs are numbered,
And, though flies are hardly borne,
Still at night I've always slumbered,
When the night cap have worn.
In the worlds broad field of battle,
Who'd be at the BARRIERS call,
Listening to his tiresome tattle?
Better bare a. q billiard ball.
Fear no future, bald. headed brother,
You were bald in infant days:
Crave not hirsute or another
Brain it is. not hair, that pays.
Lives of great men all remind US
That our smooth and polished pateo
Leave all hairy heads behind us-
Let us thank the favoring fates!
Footprints of Old Times fleet walking
No one sees on our smooth crowns,
Mind no more the idle talking
Made by anxious mop-head clownA
Let us then, o hairless brother,
Proudly through LIES pathway roll;
We remember that dear Mother
Earth is barren at the pole.

Mr.. Weed used to say that this perhaps

age that the modern developments of
journalism which have been in the direc-

such as to demand exclusive and exhaust
