The college commencement season
is now Well under way. Hundreds of
graduates, men and women, are being
turned out daily. 1t is happy period
Tor these young people, perhaps the
happiest they will ever know. They
nave the youth, the strength and the
enthusiasm to enjoy to the utmost
anything that pleases them; and it is
this which gives zest to their happi-
ness. Serious reflections will, how
ever, occur in the midst of their en-
Joyment; and one reflection, which is
certain to occur sooner Or later to the
graduate, IS that the world is not yet
conquered. They have acquired the
rudlments, and have laid the founda-
tons for work; and their success de-
ponds upon what use they will make
of the advantages they have gained.
They are advantages, solid and sub
stantial, or else there would not be
such universal and continuous eff
fort to extend collegiate education
among the people.

The Yale crew, now in England pre-
pairing to participate in the Henley
regatta, has the good wishes of all
Americans. We have not been very
successful in English waters with our
oarsmen. Indeed, it is almost TWEEN
ty years since Columbia four went
to Henley and won the Visitors Cha1
lenge Cup. Last year we were made
to stand rather worse than if we had
not competed, since Cornell crew,
until taking walk over from the IA
vorite crew, was beaten by eight
lengths by an inferior crew. There is
every reason to expect that Yale will
make a more creditable showing. The
crew is made up of excellent material
and is in charge of the most famous
of American college oarsmen. Let us
hope for the best.

The navy department is moving with
commendable rapidity in preparation
for the plans for the increase of the
number of battleships and in torpedo
boats, authorized by congress. SEQ.
Hobart will soon invite proposals for
the construction of three battleships,
three torpedo boat destroyers and 10
torpedo boats, the construction of
which has been authorized; and it will
not be long before these are in the
course Of building. It certainly is to
be hoped that when the contracts for
these vessels are awarded the best
building concerns in the country will
be given the awards. The rebuilding
of the American navy has resulted in
the establishment Of shipbuilding
plants which are Of the greatest inter
est and value to the country.
