Evolution of College Girl

The theory of evolution is the hub
around which revOlves all higher
education. But it sounds so high
bIowed and Ioftily intellectual that
one would hardly look for it in college
girls boarding house. Nevertheless
each house is four years course in
evolution, from the Freshman to the
senior. The two are as distinct from
each other and from the intervening
classes as man and the monkey,
though this simile is used because of
its aptness only in the evolutive
-aetaphOr.
The four classes, freshman, sOphO-
more, junior and senior, can usually
be found in every college girls board
ing house and the initiated can spot
them from afar. Take peep into
the rooms on the second floor. Some
OF them are what is called 'typically
college" by the outsider. The walls
are covered with pennants from ev-
cry university under the sun. Pict-
ures in brilliant colors of football
scenes and so on fill up the inter-
stices. The dressers are loaded with
photographs and toilet things" I"
Chatting dishes, cups and saucers with
chocolate stains on them, half eaten
apples, and clothes everywhere
These are freshmen rooms.
On UP the scale the rooms become
barsr md more bare. The seniors
room 4, q nuns cell as far as adorn-
ment iG concerned. She has got over
the dsllCht she once felt in pennants
and pictures. To her a room is a
place to sleep, keep ones clothes and
study in.

really makes up. 1t is characteristic
of the freshman that she is always
hungry, and about II o'clock she
can't stand it any longer. Then the
savory fumes of fudge, welsh rabbit,
canned pork and beans, pickles and
weiners float through the house, ac-
companied by general rejoicing in
high sopranos. The indignant chap
eron in her rooms below turns off the
lights for a moment as a warning;
the sophomore turns over sleepily in
bed and wonders why she doesn't
care about that sort of thing any
more. The junior wakes up and
grumbles at the noise and the senior
digs frantic fingers in her ears then
humps once more over her book.
She was a freshman once and
didn't study, now she is a sadder and
a wiser person for she must make up
for that riotous year if she wants to
graduate.

THE DAY OF THE sold GRAD.

THE DAY OF THE sold GRAD"
1t always is great time
Saturday when the "eighty-sevens''
and the "ninety-fivers" and the
"cught-ones" get together on the
campus. There was a flow
of rem iniscence and rush Of old
memories and a carnival of hand
shaking such as was never seen here.
Don't you think the campus a fitting
place for it all?
Time was, and you do not have to
go back father than twelve months
to find it, when this scene used to
take place in the hurely-burely Of a
crowded hotel lobby.
Have you seen Bill Smith of "91,"
asks one old grad. Of course you
hadn't seen him unless by chance be-
cause Kansas City is a pretty big
place in which to hunt a man, espec-
tally on a Missouri-Kansas game day.
That is one reason why the alumni
ought to take to the new plan of play
ing the traditional game at home.
But what about the "Off" year?
1t won't do to break the continuity.
Why not shove the Nebraska game a
little farther down the season, and
have our reunions here on years
when Missouri plays Kansas at Law
renee? 1t doesn't do to forget the
alumni. Sometimes We need them
badly, particularly when a mill tax
campaign or other issue is at stake.
Then, too, all the students here now
expect to become members of the
alumni some day and it will seem
mighty fine to get together once each
year and live over college days.
So, hooray for the old grad! Let
thing to eat and a chance to sit on the
mounds or out under the trees and
talk it all over with a bunch that he
us give him a place to sleep and some
hasn't seen for "steen" years.

not tell him we think so. 1t will
swell his young head" And that
time for some people still exists.
But with the march of progress in
the last few decades, ideas and
thoughts have also progressed. We
have now come to realize that just
as a dog will obey us better after a
little petting, just as a horse will
make a better effort at the heavy
lead after a little stroking, just so
will the human being work harder
and with greater sincerity after a lit
tie praise for what he has already
done.
Indeed, hopeless failures have Of
ten been turned into unquestion-
ing successes after they have been
told how marvelously we'll they have
been doing. 1t is a sure help to the
fellow who is just on the border line
of failing All he needs is a kind
word of praise to stimulate his ener-
gy.
What if praise should occasionally
swell a head? 1t always spurs on
ward, and a successful swelled head
is always better than failing
one.

lime was when THANKSGIVING
Day in Nova Scotia was almost a Sun
day. Women, children and men
dressed up and went to church, where
they sat in hard, high-backed Presby-
terian pews while the stern old
preacher expanded, repeated, brought
to "tenthly" some two-hour text on
the unthankfulness of man in view
OF the gracious bounty of the Giver
of ALL
Times have changed. Now the
preachers audience on Thanksgiving
Day is less the reluctant men and

self has been displaced by the more
convenient Monday. There are those
among the older people who say that
Mondays chief claim to convenience
lies in the fact that the day before is
a good day in which to clean rifles.
There may be some truth, too, in that
contention, for the rifle has to a large
extent replaced the preacher as a
means of affOrding Nova Scotians
Thanksgiving entertainment.
This pradnn,;ponoo ne Al.
the Nova Scotian, indeed, in the Can
adian Thanksgiving is due to a pol
icy of the Canadian government. The
Canadian government believes that
straight bullet is worth more in act
ual warfare than a straight back.
Canadian may not make much of
showing on parade, but if many a
poor Boer who felt a piece of nickel
whizz through his liver could speak,
he would affirm the governments
opinion.
With the straight bullet idea in
mind the Canadian government has
distributed throughout the country
thousands of rifles Ross rifles,
strictly modern, Canadian, single mo-
tion, straight pull bolts; record hold
ers at the empires target grounds at
Bisley. Rifle clubs have been formed
from Halifax to Vancouver, half the
expenses borne by the Canadian gov
ernment, ammunition furnished at a
cost. The country is decor
ated with pennants and each pennant
stands beside firing pit, a piece of
turf where the rifleman lies to shoot.
Iii front of the firing pits are trench
es where targets dance up and down;
and bulls. inners. magpies, cutters and
misses are s;gnalled to show the
progress of nation getting real, !
genuine sport out of the grim work |
Of preparing to meet it's fellow ma
tions if the sad necessity should be |
such, with the quick, sharp bark of a |
modern rifle.
The rifle club was popular from the |
first. Boys now devise means of
bringing their ages up to eighteen
that they may experience the sensa-
lion of waiting those breathless sec
onds till the disc comes that tells of
the skill with which they have
placed the last shot. Foreigners hold
up their right hand and swear alle-
glance to a British king and British
avs that they may handle a British
life on a British range. The rife
,lub has brought a new factor to
Canadian social and national life.

THANKSGIVING AND ITS ORIGIN.

The fourth Thursday in November
is usually set apart for Thanksgiving
by proclamation of the President and
the governors of the various states.
The day, as everyone knows, is OBJ
served with religious worship in the
churches, and in New England, more
as an occasion for family reunion.
The Pilgrims set apart a day for
thanksgiving after their first har-
vest in 1921; the Massachusetts, Bay
Colony for the first time in 1880, and
frequently thereafter until about
1880, when it became an annual fes-
tival with them; Connecticut set
apart the day as early as 1889 and
annually after 1647. The Dutch in
New Netherlands appointed a day for
giving thanks in 1914 and occas-
ionally thereafter.
During the War of independence,
Congress took the matter in hand
and appointed one or more thanks
giving days a year, except in 1777,
each time recommending to the exc
cutives of the various states the OBJ
servance of these days. Later, Pres
ident Washington appointed a day
Of thanksgiving, on Thursday, No
vember 26, 1889, and appointed
another in 1895. President Madison,
in response to resolutions by Con-
gress set apart a day for thanksgiv-
ing at the close of the War of 1912.
While in New York one was annually
appointed by the governor from
1917.
In some Of the Southern States
there was opposition to the obser-
vance of the day, on the ground that
i. was "relic of Puritanic bigotry."
but in 1858 proclamations appoint
ing a day of thanksgiving were is
sued by the governors of twenty-five
states and two territories. BY this
time the idea was we'll fixed in the
minds of the people, so President
Lincoln appointed the fourth Thurs
day in November, 1864, and since
that time each President has annu-
ally followed his example.
1t is fitting that We should cele-
brate Thanksgiving as was intended
by our forefathers. We in Columbia
shall be able to keep the spirit of the
day this year more than ever before,
because there is no football game on
that day, as has been the custom.
