nave arisen since that day. At the open
ing Of the Spanish War the whole student
body volunteered for service, which re-
quest was declined with thanks by the
commander-in-c chief, upon the ground that
there was then no necessity for their SER
vices; some of them however, did go. and
rendered good service in the ranks OF the
vermont regiment.

here said that not very many OF them
were on the other.

that she will be unable to respond to a
call for troors with a body of citizen

1t Is nearly 40 years since the close of
the great conflict in which the members
of the Reunion society were engaged; per-

time which seems so long ago, now; 1t
Is but natural that we should feel so as
we realize that we are past the military
age, and wonder who are to be our sue
cessors: but we need have no fear in this
regard; let the answer to the call at the
opening of the Spanish War forever dis

of a million Of men asked for were at the

before that government was ready to
take proper care of them, or furnish them
with the means to take their place in the
line of battle 1t is our duty to-day to see
that the Congress of the United States
does not leave the volunteers Of the fu-

legacy of unproparedness, which we in

hearts and souls we pray for peace, let
us prepare for the possibilities of the fu-
