! University Notes


for assembly this morning by having
Prof. Soule make the address. Re
minding the students that President
Roosevelt in an address to them a few
years 6 had said that university stu
dents had no greater privileges, as
compared with other men and women,
but only increased responsibilities,
Prof. Soule pointed out what some of
these responsibilities are. Out of all
the relationships into which we enter
or are brought, responsibilities arise
and it makes no difference whether the
relationship be entered voluntarily or
involuntarily. The character of the
institution is the aggregate of the
character of the individuals of the in
stitution, and one bad character
among good ones shows up just as
plainly as one black sheep in a flock
of white ones. and not only is seen,
but has a telling effect upon the whole.
The state not only expects that uni
versity students will hold high posi-
tons, but demands that they exhibit
high moral character. The service of
the student is required first in the
simplest tasks, the daily preparation
of lessons, attending classes, etc, and
the student also owes his service to the
literary societies, the athletics, the mu-
steal organizations. These ~organiza-
tons are entitled to call for the very
best service the student can render.
There are not many rules, but one Of
the responsibilities of the student is
to see to it that these few rules are
obeyed. He owes this obedience to
the comfort and convenience of his
associates. Then the student should
do all that he can to further the higher
life of the university and to help her
to attain her lofty ideal. an idea en-
bodied in the thought. THE life is
more than meat and the body than
raiment" The university is a posses
sion Of highest value to the state.
Those who enjoy its privileges are I'M
der obligation to return to the state
the loftiest characters, most loyal ser
vice, readiest obedience.
