This country will soon be visited By
two IF Great Britain's most eminent
reformers. Lady Henry Somerset, who
will attend the national convention of
the w. c. r. L. at Portland and General
William Booth, the founder of the
Salvation Army, who will make a tour
of this country and Canada to inspect
the work of the organizat ation.. They
are Of quite different social(sta nding,
but both love humanity and have done
much for the fallen and the suffering.
Both have been here before and both
are certain of a hearty welcome. There
is some coldness in America toward
General Booth, resulting from his
arbitrary treatment of his children.
but all recognize that he is a great or
ganiZer and that the agency which he
established. now encircling the globe
has built up a rescue work for the low
er half of humanity which no other
branch of the Christian church has
been able to duplicate.

This is the season when stories Of
undergraduate exuberance, generally
much exaggerated and grossly dis
tortcd, begin to get big headlines in
the papers. Students often do things
which they afterward regret and the
public is inclined to look with broad
charity upon their pranks, but none of
their celebrations can justify crime
and the public is not justified in over
looking crime because students com
nit it. The president of the University
of California did right in turning over
to the officers those students who held
up Il train. wrecked the interior of the
cars ana interfered with running OF
the whole line. If the boys did all that
the dispatches say, the Pacific coast
undergraduates must make our Eastern
college boys look like goody-goody
Sunday school boys under the eye of
their teacher.

The new class at Harvard is so
large that they haven't had time 10
count il as vet. There seems to be no
limit to this sort of development at
Cambridge. Time was when a Harvard
student enjoyed the personal and init
mate acquaintance of all his class
mates. Now the classes are so large
that a young man may pass four years
at Cambridge and be graduated with
oct having even a speaking acquaint-
ance with but a small fraction of his
classmates. All this may be in the
line of university growth and develop
ment. but there is no getting away
from the fact that one of the chief
charms of college life vanishes when
the classes get so big that classmates
in so many instances remain strangers
to each other during their, college ca
reers ard after.-Boston Herald.
And this comment gives added en-
phasis to what we said, the other day
about the attractions and advantages
of a small college where men know
each other and their instructors, where
there is class spirit and college spirit
such as the Dig university never
knows. where deathless friendships are
formed within the fraternity circle
where the campus is a loved home and
the college is a happy family with all
the undergraduates brothers. Happy
the boy who goes to the small college
for his undergraduate years, and
happy the Maine boy who goes 10 col
le5e in his own State.
