in such aimemorial building. We feel
sure that the numerous friedds of
Lieut. Neary in Vermillion and else
where would gladly make generous
contributions for this purpose.
The benefit of military training in
the University is no longer a disputed
question. The recent experiences of
this country in meeting the emergen-
cies of war, have demonstrated the ne
cessity Of maintaining centres of mill
tary training throughout the country.
There is 10 more appropriate place for
these centres for military instruction
than in our colleges and universities.
The records of University students in
recent military events ought to furnish
the last argument for the value of mill
tary training to the state and to the in
dividual. The service that the military
men of the State University and the
Agricultural College have rendered the
state at the recent crisis Of the war or
ganization should be ample suggestion
for the state to add generously to the
donations of students and citizens for
suitable memorial building in honor of
the gallant Lieut.. Neary. His four
years Of most efficient and faithful
work at the University. and his death
on the battlefield of ElCaney, have
made his life and death a part of our
state history as we'll as q precious mem
ory to all who knew and loved him.

of suitable memorial to Lieut.. Neary.

The most essential educational fac
tors in great educational institution
are the men and women who teach.
The University of South Dakota has
had many grand men and women con-
nected with it, and it is the inspiration
that comes from the dignity and grand
eur Of such lives that is worth more to
the institution than any material pos.
sessions can possibly be. Among those
who have thus contributed to our Uni
versity there are none whose personal
influence has been greater or more be-
neficent than that of the late Lieuten-
ant William G. Neary. In his person
atty, he was the embodiment Of the
courteous gentleman and the brave and
loyal soldier. His life here for four
busy years, and his death upon the
bloody field of ElCaney, were one and
the same in devotion to principle and
in high ideals of duty and service. In
his quiet and courteous way he went
out and in before us in the performance
of his duty, and won for himself an en-
during place in the affections of the en-
tire student body, and with those who
knew him in any of the associations of
life. Lieut.. Neary had high ideals of
life and manhood, and while not identi-
fed with any of the formal phases of
religion, he lived in the atmosphere of
high ethical and religious motive. We
who knew him we'll are not yet able to
adjust ourselves to world devoid of
his genial presence and loyal friendship
Perhaps it is just as well that the Uni
versity shall not, during the present
year, undertake to carry on the usual
military instruction. There is that
feeling of reverence among the students
for all that pertained to Lieut.. Neary
which would make the innovations, and
even the presence, of his successor jar
upon their feelings.
With these thoughts in mind, in view
of the deep regard for Lieut.. Neary
manifested alike by students and citi-
zens, remembering that noble examples
of high living and worthy dying are the
most valuable elements of education,
should not the present opportunities be
utilized to erect some permanent and
worthy memorial of Lieut.. Neary? It
is appropriate to ask this question just
at this time, for while large numbers of
individuals, both inside and outside of
the University, would wish to contrib
ute generously to such memorial, the
state legislature would undoubtedly
materially aid the undertaking. We
second the suggestion made some time
ago in these columns by ex-President
Mauck for the erection Of substantial
building upon the University campus
which would provide adequate quarters
for . drill hall and I modern gymna-
sium, and at the same time furnish
some room suitable for other purposes.

"The next act in the war thrilled not

the world, by it's exceptional heroism.
On the night of June 8, Lieutenant
Hobson, aided by seven volunteers
! blocked the outlet Of Santiago harbor
eby sinking the collier Merrimac in the
channel, under fierce fire from the
shore batteries, escaping with their
lives as by a miracle, but falling into
the hands Of the Spaniards. It is a
most gratifying incident of war that
the bravery of this little band of he
roes was cordially appreciated by the
Spanish admiral.
The campaign of Santiago, resulting
in the investment and capture of the
city, is referred to as brilliant
achievement A brief review is then
presented of the decisive naval combat
of the war on july 8, resulting in the
complete destruction of Cevera's feet.
Concerning it the president says:
