IMPROVE THE RIVERS.

In the Mississippi Valley, counting
OILY those parts of streams which
have been used by steam craft, there
are 5000 miles of navigable rivers,
Today perhaps not one-fourth of this
mileage is navigable.
Our great lakes have an immense
commerce because channels have
been deepened to more than twenty
feet. They were scarcely six feet
deep. Lake vessels are now almost
in the class of ocean liners.
Transportation facilities in the
Mississippi Valley are inadequate.
Deep permanent channels for our
rivers will guarantee adequate ia
cilities for increasing transportation
at reasonable rates and for all time.
Should not a systematic policy for
improvement of the primitive condi-
tions on the 5000 miles of naviga-
BILE rivers in the Mississippi Valley
be adopted?

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS.

We Americans abuse our national
holidays. On the Fourth of July we
disturb our neighbor's peace with
nre-crackers, set fire to his house
with sky-rockets, burn our own fing-
ers and scorch our eyebrows and -
whisper it gently-some of us in
dulge too freely in liquid pyrotech-
mics. On Thanksgiving day We load
uI on turkey and cranberries and
spend a week of misery trying to for
get it all.
At Christmas We blow our bank ac-
count pretty near past redemption.
we stuff ourselves with goose and
sweet things and impose on our rela-
tives and friends presents they do
not want and cannot use. Christmas
carries with it some of the wrongs of
July and Thanksgiving. 1t is.
therefore, the worst abused holiday
OF the lot. 1t is time when We
let our tempers get away with us
and say mean things about our
friends and libel the name of Santa
Claus.
There is a movement for safe
and sane Fourth of July. The trusts
have long been trying to. force us
into q sane observance of Thanks
giving But who ever heard of a
sane Christmas?
And yet, the thing is not impossi-
bic. Early shopping is one big aid
tc real Christmas enjoyment. 1t is
a profitable concession to the spirit
OF good will" for it lightens the
burdens of thousands. Half the ills
of Christmas come about because
men and women just can't see that
it is the spirit of the giving and not
the cost of the gift that counts. Often
a Christmas card with a sincere mes
sage will prove a more pleasing gift
than sterling silver with the cost
tag on. When We all become salts
fled to give and receive simpler
Christmas gifts, the true spirit Of
the day will be more possible of at
tainment.

81 Remember. "

Il remember" said Prof. C. B.
Hutchinson of the College of Agri-
culture. when the farmers painted
the smokestack on the University
power house. This was the first and
the last time this feat has ever been
done and l am glad indeed that my
class of 1908 holds the record of do
ing it, The engineers had tried for
several years to get their name on
the smokestack. but to no avail. We
were going to have our annual COun-
II Fair and we wanted to do some
thing that would be remembered.
For several days before the fair,
or nights rather, We had been work
ing to get line over the smOkestack.
Several things were tried. One of the
boys had his sister make him a bal
loon. This he soaked in linseed oil
to make it alright. He then OBJ
tanned several carbOys of sulphuric
acid with which to generate hydro
gen to fill his balloon. Unfortunate
ly he spilled the acid and he and sew
eral of his companions had to buy
new suits as a result.
1.-The feat was finally accomplished
Ly running a wire from the dome of
Academic Hall to Benton Hall. A
large box kite was then sent up to
intercept the wire and raise it over
the smokestack. Then a light wire
was tied to one end of it and care
fully pulled up and over the stack.
TC the end of this light wire a heavy
rope was attached which was drawn
up in its turn and secured firmly.
Then one of our number, Charles
H. Taylor. mounted with block and
tackle. Securing this to the top
o. the chimney he was then ready to
paint. A bucket of white paint and
a brush We're hoisted to him. BY
r,orning the word FARMERS in gi-
gantic letters was painted on the
side of the stack. A smaller sign was
painted just below this. can tell
you that We were mighty proud of
this stunt and I don't think it has
ever been eQualed before or since,
in the history of the University.
IF you will look in the agricul-
tural library you will see a large
picture of the sign with Mr.. Taylor
at work on the smokestack. Just
beside the large picture is a smaller
one of Mr.. Taylor with his name
and class under it. Taylor was quite
hero. The smoke has now obliter-

Laying of the Corner Stone.
On the Fourth of July, 1910, was
laid the corner stone of the school.
Under the corner stone the following
articles were deposited: United
States coins. ), 10, % and 30 cent
pieces; manuscript copy of charter
CT the University, authenticated by
the signatures of the Governor and
Secretary and the great seal of the
state; the names of all the CuratOrs
tEen in office; list of the donors to
the institution and the amount sub
scribed by each; a sentence in four
languages concerning the cause and
date of the cornerstone laying.
names OF the executive officers of
the state and the order of procession.
Female teachers and young women
under their charge were sixth in line.
Immediately following the clergy.
John Fl. LathrOp of Clinton. y. Y,
vas unanimously elected president
at the meeting of the Curators. Oc-
tober 80. 1910. Professor Lathrop
reached Columbia in February. iS41.
and complied with the request that
he deliver an address that same af-
ternOOn in the Union Church Ac-
cording TO reports ''he made most
scholarly and finished address. which
made profound impression on all
who heard it." On March /. 1871.
President Lathrop delivered his in
augural address in the same church.
On the site of the present home of
the University president was built a
home for President Lathrop in 1912.
This caught fire from a defective flue
in 1865 and was burned to the
ground. Two years later the pres
ent house was built.
When OratOry FlOurished.
The first oratorical exercises We're
held in Columbia College Chapel the
last week in April. 1912. Seventeen
OratiOns two disputations, a eulogy
and cOlloquy were on the program.
But for one man it would be al
most impossible for the present gen
GRAFTON to know many of the init
mate details of the early years at the
University. That man is William
F.. Switzler. for whom Switzler Hall
is named. He wrote a history of the
University which opens with the
plans for establishing the school and
closes with the year 1904, when Mr..
Switzler's age compelled him to
abandon the book. 1t is still in
form. Some day a pop
ular movement, it is hoped will lead
to its printing in book form. o. r.
