The Strenuous Week.

Next week is the most strenuous
week of the school year. 1t will be
examination week for the winter term
and since the work Of the winter is
the most difficult the examinations
covering that work are correspond
ingly difficult. The students have be-
gun to realize that if they weather the
winter storm, all the spring term will
be clear sailing, and us result the
coming week will be one of final prep.

Herein may be found the futility OF
examinations. The average student
with his examining process that in
evitably precedes examination may be
likened to barrel with Il crack in the
side which is filed and holds the
water that steadily decreases until il
is empty. So the student fills his
brain rapidly before examination; if
it does not leak out before the day
set for the test he will pass, but from
the time it is filled. it steadily leaks
out. and if it is largely gone by the
time Of examination he fails. The
examining process is momentary

Reception to Teachers.

tFrom the Weewly Student.l
Thru an inadvertancy, the account
of the reception given to the Winter
School for teachers was omitted in the
last issue of the Weekly Student. The
reception was given in the parlor of
Davis Hall on Monday evening, March
.. The guests were the students talk
ing the winter teachers course, and
the members of the faculty who had
classes in the Winter School.
An Informal program was rendered
in connection with the reception, con-
sisting of talks by some of the faculty
members present. Prof. Kennedy gave
the first speech, and his remarks were
thoroly enjoyed. DR.. Libby gave an
interesting talk on the Indians of
North Dakota, Prof. Perrott spoke on
the English, Mr.. Rysgaard on the
Danish Public Schools. President
Mortified was to have spoken, but he
refrained from giving it on account of
the lateness of the hour. The Glee
Club rendered two delightful selec-
tons, after which light refreshments
were served. Misses Donovan and
Stewart, who were the hosts of the
occasion. indeed ought to be compli-
mented on the success Of the event,
which all present agree was one of
the most successful of it's kind that
has occurred during the year.

Eyeryman PLAY.
from the Weewly Student

u rom the w eeWly STUDENT
Mr.. F. H. Koch gave his mono
dramatic rendition of the famous old
medieval morality play, "Everyman,"
in the parlor of Davis Hall last Sun
day night. More than fifty people
came out from town and when the ap-
pointed hour came the specious parlor
was full to OVERLOOKING An impro-
vised stage with tasteful black and
white hangings had been fitted up at
one end of the room in order to sug-
gest, in some measure, the back
ground of the morality play-the nave
of an old cathedral
Before beginning his recital, Mr..
Koch gave short sketch of the de-
velopment of the drama from the
liturgical plays Of the dark ages to
the morality play and the modern
drama as first perfected by Shakes
peare in the sixteenth century. He
told how the church had lost control
of the miracle and mystery plays and
in its effort to regain it's hold on the
people thru the drama had invented
the morality play. In these plays, the
characters possess no individuality,
they are simply the bloodless and
fieshless personifications of abstract
moral qualities. For instance, we have
Justice, Good Deeds, Kindness. Or,
if they are not moral qualities they
are the presentations of worldly re-
lationships as Kindred, Friends, and
SO on.
The play is a remarkable categorical
tale of Everyman> "a young thoughtless
fellow who, having lived carelessly
and without thought of God, is sud
denly summoned by Death to give an
account of his life before the throne
OF God. In vain he calls upon Friends,
upon Kindred, and upon Riches to ac-
company him on his dread journey
beyond the grave. But they desert
him in his extremity, the only friend
who remains loyal, who pilots him sue
cessfully thru the regions of the dead,
and who finally enables him to make
his peace with the Great Judge is
Good Deeds. This is story which
appeals with tremendous force to.
every human being because it pre-
sents so wildly an experience of every
human life. Sooner or later every
man must make his reckoning. 1t be-
hooves him to see whether he is de-
voting his attention to the vanities of
this world or whether he has elected
the better part, the doing of good
deeds which, after all, are the only
things that count
Mr.. Koch has already established his
reputation as reader and mono
dramatic reciter of rare skill, and the
program of last Sunday only served
to confirm it. In the impersonation
character he issa master and no one
understands better than he how to
make an audience feel the dramatic

done good work in his other recitals,

He compared it to three-legged stool

evil could not be stopped by moral
means alone except as we approach

alone can we expect to prevent drink

hibition law is like mill wheel which
requires the motive force Of public
sentiment to propel it. He considered
the control of manufacture the most
feasible method of cure, and declared

INTEMPERANCE IS HIS THEME.
Rev. George Barnes of Fargo Delivers
Fine Address.
IFrom the wecwly student.l

From the Wecwly Studentl
The audience of students, faculty
and friends of the university who as
sembeled at convocation were privileg-
ed to listen to most entertaining
and inspiring address on the Cause
and Cure Of Intemperance," by Rev.
Mr.. George Barnes of Fargo. The
speaker, tho new to many university
students is not new to North Dakota
having resided in this state nearly all
Of the twenty-three years since he
first came here in 1888. He has
been active in church work at VAL
ley City, Fargo and other places and
was the first president of Fargo COL
lege. His deep sincerity combined
with natural eloquence and a facetious
humor make him very effective
speaker.
"You are going out in the world"
said the speaker in beginning, "and
to gain what? Not to gain fame posi-
ton or wealth, thou you may gain
these incidentally; you are going out
to live, and live you may as you give
yourselves to others. If, when you
must pass out of the world you find
that you have taken from the world
more than you have given to it, you
are in vital sence paupers; but If
you have given the world more than
you have taken from it, you are bene-
factors"
The speaker said in passing that he
would impress on his hearers life's
seriousness, a seriousness not incom-
patible with the highest joy, which
will come with the highest sacrifice.
Among the great modern examples of
this spirit of sacrifice he mentioned
David Livingstone, the great explorer,
and took occasion to pay him a glow
ing and eloquent tribute africa, re-
deemed and regenerated," he declared,
Shall be his monument, and the sea
shall sound his requiem"
The speaker then went on to the ad-
dress proper, facetiously stating the
cause of intemperance to be drinking
and its cure, abstinence. He then
enumerated the elements of intemper-
ance substantially as follows: First,
men drink because of taste or APP
petite for liquor. which may be ac-
quired or inherited: second, through
ignorance, which is also responsible
for some of the most unfortunate ac-
cidents to the victims of drink; third.

LAW SCHOOL NOTES.
Mr.. c. c. Wade Visits School.

Mr.. c. C. Wade of ST. Paul, agent
for the l.. R. A. lawyers Reports
Annotatedl, visited our school last
week and had a consultation with the
dean about securing more books. Mr..
Wade withdrew his prizes for thesis
on account of lack Of competition and
substituted some better prizes given
for a more practical contest.
To the senior who the faculty thinks
has done the best and most conscien-
tious work, he offers Farnham's work
on Waters" Labat's Master and
Servant" or Wharton and Styles on
Medical Jurisprudence Each of the
above works are worth about $1S, and
the senior who wins first prize is to
have his choice. For a second prize
he offers HILLS Dakota Digest" The
same offer has been made to the junior
class. These prizes are valuable not
alone for their money value, but also
from the standpoint of recognition for
good work.

Henry Kinds. the university student
who won the Rhodes scholarship sew

Oxford rowing crew. Mr.. Kinds rowed
at number 3 last year and is recog-
nized as one of Oxford's best ath-

ed fact that the students who leave
our school for other schools invariably
stand high both in athletics and in
studies. Thomas Stanley, who left
us a. few years ago to go to George

CELTIC AMERICAN
SOCIETY WILL
CELEBRATE
Celtic American Society Will
Give Annual Entertainment
at Opera House.

A few years ago several university
boys with Celtic blood in their veins
banded together for the purpose of or
ganizing the Celtic-American society.
Any person having at least a grand
parent of Scotch, Irish or Welsh blood
is eligible for membership. The pur-
pose of the society has been to pro-
mote kindred feeling among the de-
scendants of the old Celtic tribes. The
feeling Of fellowship rather than clan
nishness has been the great aim of
this organization. Recently a new
project has been set on foot, that of
encouraging greater appreciation for
the Celtic literature, and to this end
the society has resolved to start
library at the university.
The society has grown rapidly and
now has some two hundred members
or more. Their annual banquet, held
either on Burns birthday or on st.
Patrlcks, has come to be recognized
as the best and most elaborate ban
quet accorded the students during the
school year. The society will assist
in the entertainment at the opera
house this evening. The best
male quartette of the city will
sing some merry Scotch and
Irish songs. Everybody is cordially
invited to attend this entertainment
and all Celts of the university are en-
pected to participate of the banquet.

New Car Arrives.

The "long-lookedfor-st has
at last landed at the university and
has made its initial trip. 1t is much
larger than the old one, has better
seats, and is finished in an up-to-date
manner. The two cars will run all
the time and will be able to carry
all the passengers with much more
comfort. From now on, it is to be
hoped, there will be no more hanging
on by the eye-lids and toe-nails. The
old car with seating capacity for "a

Debating Board Meeting.

The debating board of control had a
special meeting Thursday to make ar
rangements for the Camel medal de-
bate and also the debate between Per
Gradus and the Commercial depart
ment. 1t was decided to leave the de-
rate between the Commercial and Per
Gradus societies in charge of the re-
spective societies. The Camel medal
debate will be conducted in the spring
term. This debate will also be left
to the societies that participate. A
committee from each society will be
appointed to conduct this debate. Otto
Strom was appointed secretary for the
spring term. Scott Cameron, the pres
ent secretary, will not be here.

Love Feast for the School.

On Friday of this week the dean
turned the juniors and seniors loose
on their own resources, l. e., they were
to criticize each others complaints and
answers. Some complaints were all
correct. while others were simply
damnable and others did not consti-
tute cause of action. This is practi-
cal work in common law and code
pleading.

Expenses for South Dakota Agl.


An appropriation of 5000 was also
made for stationary for the baseball
and football managers. There will he
discount, however, on almost every
item, but the students can easily real
ize by looking over the estimate that
it costs the association a large sum
to keep up the different lines of ath-
letic work. There will be upward of
5000 expended in this manner this
spring. The association has no money
to spare, in fact if it were incorporated
it would be very poor corporation.
The average receipts for baseball
games last spring was under $1,000,
the students can readily see that it
would take great many such games
to cover the expenses OF the above
estimate.

On Friday afternoon the Laws and
the Engineers played the fastest and
most hotly contested game OF the in

were the victors, winning by score

sides showed up in little roughness
at times. The amount of roofing done
went to show the interest that center

Effect Of the New Football Rules.

A great many are puzzled to know
how the new rules in football will
affect ourselves. There will be little
or no difference between the general
method of play next year, and the
method pursued this year. We are
not bound by the rules of either the
Eastern or the Western conference.
The new ten yard distance rule will
be adopted. but the rules regarding
the abolition of the coach and other
reforms suggested will have no effect
whatever. When we play Minnesota,
however, we will have to be governed

we do not believe that he has ever
given any play which moved his
audience to the extent that this quaint
old morality play did. He made them
see the life of Everyman in their own
lives, and he brought home to them the
moral of the story in a manner that
was little short of wonderful. 1t was
the work of genuine artist and
something which the students will not
soon forget.

"The Forum society has grown SO
large that it lid not offer ample OPP
portunity for literary work for all Of

organized with the idea that each mi

its membership members of other COM

of this society is limited to twenty-five,
and the presiding officers hold Office

The question for debate, Resolved,

won by the negative. Messrs. Burnett

negative.
The society decided to admit to its
membership limited number of stu
dents from other departments of the

benefits of any literary society, be-
lieving that the association of students
from different departments in literary
work will prove beneficial as well as
tending to establish closer relations

that line of work before After lay
