Social Happenings

The most interesting event of the
week was the competitive drill on the
university campus Wednesday after
noon, as was evidenced by the large
number who witnessed the events. The
weather was most propituious and nc
accidents resulted from flashing sabres
or mimic guns. Captain Yates is to
be warmly congratulated upon the
fruits Of his methodical training, for
the maneuvers as a whole were declar.
ed to be marvellous. Only the mind
and hand of a master could convert
material SO immature and crude into
the alert. well-disciplined compan'
les whose every appearance and move
ment elicted applause from the spec,
tators. The military bearing of the
cadets. the spotless uniforms. and the
verye voiced in every motion of the
young ONE and men alike. gave
keenest pleasure to their elders. OF
course company and individual rivalry
ran high, but it was generous in its
quality. SO no evil resulted. He or she
who accepts a defeat gracefully and
graciously earns a reward more valu.
able than medal or flag, and the victor
who wears his honors modestly wins
more than outward symbol. The mill
tary department of the university
makes for well disciplined minds in
robust bodies and it's fruits are char
acter, which is the aim and end of all
true education.
