THE COURSE OF HUMAN EVENTS
AT THE /. N. /.


Because silence may for time pre-
vail is not sufficient reason to conclude
that the said silence will be eternal.
The peer that informs the world of the
many occurrences that mark the days
programs at the Normal may couch on
its silent bed, but apace with progress
and the flight of time those events
that are the legal offspring of this in
stitution will write themselves as in
delibly upon the souls of its inmates
as the diamonds that stud the heaven
ly dome.
Among the many rewards that are
daily ours to enjoy, we are occasion
ally called upon to pause and mourn
the timely loss of friends and students
whom duties at home call from us for
a time. Last Friday took from our
classes Mr.. G. r. Smith, Misses Anna
Smith and Fannie Oliver. Mr.. Smith
has left a reputation of a good student
and a talented young man, destined to
a brilliant future. Both the young
ladies are excellent students. womanly
and accomplished, and well merit the
wide friendship they enjoyed here.
The !. N. l. was gladdened last
Monday to once again open wide her
portals to Prot. q. I. Howerton, whose
very tread was familiar to those whose
opportunity it was to be associated
with him ia the previous session. His
presence recalls clusters of happy re-
Elections which seemed to animate
those who had before rallied to his
call Welcome, Prof Howerton; long
be your stay.
The Senate of the /. N. l has not
yet sine died. Every Monday at $50
o clock sharp the representatives. of
this sixty-fve million people answer
to the roll call and proceed to the
transaction of such Important business
as naturally arises from the demands
OF the progress OF a great people. To
attempt to portray the full proceed
ings of this truly enthusiastic body
would be a task to defy the most skill
full reporter. Interest and enthusiasm
run riot and question owds upon
question with such rapidly that our
very efficient president can scarcely
dispose of them as demanded. Discus
sion of bills introduced afford the
greatest possible opportunity for exer-
else in ex tempore speaking, while
contests with contra motions give u
drill in parliamentary procedure that
is invaluable. Certainly no student
will ever enjoy better opportunity
for thoroughly equipping himself for
the violent contests incident to active
existence.
Next Friday, June IL, closes this.
the 4th, term. This thought is brought
with JOY and sorrow intermingled-
sorrow, because of the departure of
those whose society we have so long
enjoyed, and whese mission with us
is for time fulfilled. and they return
for a time to those who will be glad to
welcome them home. While we are
panied to tell our friends farewell. our
grief is partly alleviated by the privi-
lege CT welcoming to our feast the re-
representatives. of the four-winds who
tell us they will be with as during the
summer term. Many of these will
only be returning to the folds they had
left for season, TO seek some field of
duty where they have an opportunity
for administering to those of the hui
man family who are afflicted with that
loathsome malady, ignorance. their
soothing panacea. They come not as
the prodigal, with wasted treasures,
but they come to feast on the fatted
calf and so TO augment their present
stock OF knowledge as to be prepared
for the further prosecution of their
invasion against old ignorance and di-
verified ideas in the approaching con-
ilct.
