Norwich University has had q
most honorable history during the

graduates are thoroughly trained in
bothacademic and military branches.
Her honor roll includes nearly 500
officers who served in the Mexican
war and the war of the Rebellion, of
whom some 30 were general officers.
In the past the University has been
greatly handicapped by lack of funds
but beginning with 1884 when the
state made its first appropriation to
the Institution, there has been a steady
growth and now the trustees and

OPENING Iuh INDIAN IAAhlAodls
It is very evident ~ the next con.
Fress will ensct some important legis-
alton tourhing the Indian territory.
For three years the status Of the ave
tribes has been a subject of congres.
s',nal stats ana municipal debate,
auudreds OF reso utions and memorials
,avr oren draf',d and sent TO Wash.
'ugton aud tn d w.s commission has
been busy opening ap a path for the
nture welfare ~ the Indians. Now
he commercial clubs Of the great
western cities have taken hand in the
matter and viii bring much weight to
bear on cong ess. The Kansas City
FINES, speaking OF the Kansas City
Commercial clubs opportune action
looking TO the opening OF the territory,
says: The action OF the Commercial
club last Tuesday night on the subject
OF opening up the Indian territory to
,cttlement was timely and cannot fail
OF having a wide and favorable influ-
ence IN Fastening the consummation
Of the project. The resolutions passed
oy the club indicate how the business
men OF Kansas City look upon the
movement to place that magnificent
domain within the reach Of home
seekers. The resolutions assert that
the opening OF the Indian territory to
settlement and to It's fullest produc-
tive capacity is Of the highest impor.
tance to the country, and to that end
advise that the consent OF the Indians
owning this great area should be OBJ.
tanned without delay. The CONNER.
cial club expresses the sentiments Of a
considerable majority of the people Of
southwest in the position 1t has taken
II is truth which the Indians
Of the five tribes inhabiting the
territory have come to realize, that II
would be TO their monetary advantage
and benefit them in various other ways
to acquiesce in the plan Of dividing up
their community lands into allotments
and selling such Of them as are not
held for homesteads to the government
20 be devoted to sale and settlement
by the people Of the United States.
They voiced their willingness in their
recent council aud 1t now only remains
for the authorities Of the United States
to meet the Indians In a spirit of con-
cession and compromise and deal with
them on q plane OF enlarged liberality
10 order that the subject may be
drought to an honora BILE nd speedy
adjustment. 1t is more than probable
that commercial bodies In other cities
and towns OF Missouri and Kansas will
take the matter up as the Commercial
