| VIII those who believe in the
theory that there are no two words
in the English language which are
identical in meaning, please tell the
rhetoric class the difference between
the words begin and commence
| The English literature class finds
| Macbeth almost AS interesting as
Hamlet, and, like that, it belongs to
the time when Shakespeare's powers
had reached their full ripeness.
| Some of us seem to detest Mac
beth; all he seems to care for is him-
self. When he waivers in his pur-
pose to kill Duncan, it is from fear
that he will be found out, and lose
the golden opinion" he has won,
rather than from hatred for the ter
rible crime. But in Lady Macbeth
there is something that Acites adj
miration, for certainly she is a strong
character. Had SIZE been in some
good enterprise we can easily believe
that she would have carried it
through, no matter if she lost all her
friends thereby. She is a woman
with a purpose, and we must admire
her even if that purpose is bad one.
Her cruelty and crime are not for
her own sake, but for Macbeth's.
His advancement and his safety
were what she worked for, and we
feel regret that it was not for some
nobler purpose, instead of to crafty
the cruel ambitions of selfish friend
Hamlet and Macbeth are indeed
tragedies of thought, for Shakes
peare shows us lifelke pictures in
their characters.
The senior class has been taking
up the dynamo" in physics, and as
a result we have proved who in the
school are the heroes and who the
towards. Some few withstood the
shocks, but the majority were forced
to admit that they were not quite so
brave as they had formerly supposed.
The junior Latin class seems to be
taking augmentation instead of or
atory, judging from the discussions
in class. 1t has finish ed the Catilin-
arian orations
The ID. III. S. and M, p. II. S. are
continually at variance with one
another. This year, however, Dodge
vile is one year behind in the
mumps business, while Mineral PIT.
is right at Dodgeville's heels in the
number of absentees.
The physics class Is studing care
fully the make up of the dynamo
This subject requires the closest at
tention and study, as it is the essen
tial factor for the Transformation Of
mechanical into electrical energy
the world over. In looking in a gen
eral way at this piece of apparatus
it appears to be very complicated
affair, but after noting the direction
Of the lines of force, the revolution
of the loop, and the direction of the
current flow, it becomes just what
it is called in the text book, the
simple dynamo"
based on Die Norma has been writ
ten and banded in. 1t is pronounced
a success. Time will tell the rest.
The sophomores have safely cross
ed and recrossed Caesars bridge,
and the class is bravely heading for
Britain.
