iNtIeu EdsI friday AFTERNOON by the
seniors were very much enjoyed both
by the students and visitors who were
present. The music by the orchestra
received, as usual, its full share of at
tention, SO much so that the orchestra
was Obliged to respond to an encore.
Miss Harriet Fox in delivering the
first Grafton, The Ethics of Citizen
ship spoke of the duties which each
citizen owes to his country in trying
to correct some of the political abuses
of the time. 1t is his duty to see that
only the best men fill offices ever if to
do this it is necessary W subordinate
party love US patriotism. The political
corruption of the country will never
be reformed until such a time as every
man shall take it 'upon himself to make
politics a personal duty and privilege.
The second Grafton, entitled, Target
Practice" was given by Charles Beach.
Mr.. Beach first showed the great good
which had resulted from the request of
Colonel Roosevelt for an appropriation
for the purpose above mentioned, then
on to compare life to target prac-
tice. In telling of the great good of
practice Mr.. Beach mentioned
several examples of university boys
whom target practice had aided in OBJ
tanning good positions.
The Trainers of the Constitution"
was the theme of Miss Grace Davis re-
marks. She gave a historical outline
Of the famous convention assembled for
the drawing up of the constitution and
paid a glowing complimentary tribute
to the members of that convention,
mentioning among these, Washington,
Franklin, Madison, and spoke especially
of Alexander Hamilton without whom
the whole edifice would have wanted
its browning glory.
Andrew Danielson, in his Grafton,
considered the subject of Expansion
speaking in this connection of the an
nexation of the Philippies by the I'm
TIED States. 1t is necessary for each
country to expand iUs territory and al
though this cannot be done without
much objection it is well known that
all good measures must necessarily be
opposed. In conclusion, Mr.. Danielson
delivered Kipling's recent poem, 1.-THE
White Mans Burden"
The last Grafton of the afternoon was
delivered by Miss Flora Lee, who spoke
On ~"Savagery in Civilization" Miss
Lee considered her subject from three
Sta%ndpoints, moral, political and social,
pointing out the chief faults in each
case. There are many customs and
5~uperstitions in America which are I'M
worthy Of this land and until these are
rooted out America cannot justly be
an ideal commonwealth.
