Attends Educational Convention.
A number of the students from away
have returned to their homes to spend
the Christmas vacation and are enjoy
ing to the utmost this short rest from
studies. The next term will begin Ian
uary End and as the students will have
by that time, much good work should
be the result, SO that the second term
will be ever more successful than the
first. The New Year is inspiring to
everyone, and each person privately re-
solves to accomplish more than ever
before, to make his future work all it
should be. Words which are especially
appropriate at the beginning of the
new year are those from Longfellow:
Look not ~mournfully into the past.
1t not back again. Wisely i'm
prove the present. 1t is thine. Go
forth TO meet the shadowy future
without fear and with a manly heart"

President Smiley, leaves today for
Cheyenne and will go from there to
Denver, where, on Thursday, a meeting
Of delegates from all the institutions
of learning throughout Wyoming, and
the Rocky mountain region, will be
held. This meeting is for the purpose
OF talking over the establishment of
a lyceum course which it is hoped can
be arranged for this winter. Such a
course has been successfully carried
on in Cheyenne for some time and
there is no reason why the university
students should not have all the ad-
vantages which are to be gained from
such a lyceum course. 1t is to be hop
ed that satisfactory arrangements can
be made for this course, and that from
time to time during the winter the stu
dents will have these pleasant even
ings to look forward to.
