THE MEANING OF AUTUMN.

To the trees, the grass and Nature
in general Autumn means death. The
frosts blight and kill. Vegetation
withers up and passes away. The
trees shed their leaves and gather the
sap deep into the heart Of their great
bodies. Everything in Nature pre-
pares for a long sleep.
But to the student Autumn means
life. The chill in the air. the brisk
ness Of the atmosphere gives vigor to
his body and his brain. He feels vim
and snap through his entire system.
This pent up energy is there to be
discharged in the class room, upon
the football field, in the gymnasium.
Autumn and winter are Natures
nighttime but the students daytime.
While Nature sleeps, he works.

ROLLINS FIELD.

The extensive and practical i'm
provement on Rollins Field is but an
other sign of the advancement of the
University. 1t shows that play is
growing to be more and more a fac
tor in the development of the intel
lect.
All work and no play makes Jack
but that's too old. We all realize
that exercise of some form or another
must be had in order to keep our in
tellect awake. Without exercise we
cannot think with virility. We be-
come dull and sluggish.
Every student should take advan-
tage of the improvements that are
being made on the athletic field. The
football fields, the baseball diamonds,
the tennis and basketball courts and
the cinder track are all at your dis
posal. Spend your leisure moments
on the athletic field and you will find
that it will do you a deal more good
than time spent on a cheap novel,
Try it.

AVIATION AND FOOLISHNESS.

The world now pays sincere tribute
to the men who a few years ago were
insisting that it was possible to fly
and tried to do it. Still greater honor
is due to the Wrights and others who
did invent a way to fly. A bird does
not fly we'll when it first gets its
wings. When the first bird appeared
with its wings. no doubt the other an
imals stood around and said he would
never be able to put them to any
practical use.
Man has not had his wings long.
1t is too early for us to prophesy
what he may do with them. But in
this time of experiment he should at
least use them wisely and carefully
until they are developed properly and
he has obtained sure control of them.
In the last two years more than
fifty air men have been killed in acci-
dents. The number for 1912 is prob
ably now greater than the number for
the two years Immediately preceding.
Nearly every accident has been the
result of foolish and reckless flying.
These feats were tried because the
spectators demand thrills. 1t seems
that the sane and intelligent aviators
should unite in a refusal to put avia-
tion in disrepute for the sake of the
class which cannot be entertained
with anything short of seeing a man
trifle with Death.

come merely from the fact that he is
q world figure. He was popular long
before he was famous and when In his
presence one forgets the fact that he
is the greatest American poet He is
just a man. simple. unassuming, lik-
able. His fellow townsmen have Al
ways taken pride in doing him honor.
and that pride will be greater than
ever during the celebration Of "Riley
Week.
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1912-09-29
Plan a "Riley Week"

During the second week Of October,
James Whitcomb Riley, the beloved
Hoosier poet, will be the center of the
greatest ovation ever rendered an
American writer. October is the
poets birthday. but owing to the fact
that the celebration in his honor will
be of such proportions that it will be
impossible to confine it to one day. it
has been decided to extend it over a
period of six days, beginning Monday,
October 2, and ending Saturday, Octo-
ber u. Indianapolis. Mr.. Riley's home
town, has taken the lead in this event,
but the movement has spread like
wildfire and it is doubtful whether
there is a city or town in the United
States which will not have one or
more events scheduled in honor of the
poet who; through the medium of his
verses, has struck a responsive chord
in every breast and has succeeded in
bringing poetry home to the people.
Riley programs have long been pop
ular with literary clubs and during
Riley week these programs will take
on an added interest. Mr.. Riley is
widely known for his love of children.
Like his great predecessor, Longfel-
low, he has been able to fathom the
beauties of the child nature better
than most men, and many Of his best
poems have been written for, or about,
children. For this reason "Riley
Week" will be generally observed in
the schools with special exercises.
Mr.. Riley is now enjoying excellent
health. The paralysis which mani
tested itself in his right arm little
more than a year ago is rapidly dis
appearing and he says he feels as we'll
as ever he did in his life. Every day
he takes a long ride about Indianap-
oils and the surrounding country in
his big touring car and he is known
as an enthusiastic motorist. He is al
ways happy and is usually surrounded
by group of close friends.
No man in America has more
friends than James Whitcomb Riley
During the years he Travelled as a lee
turer he met thousands of people, who,
attracted by his magnetic personality.
became warmly attached to him.
There are hundreds of thousands
more who have never met him per-
sonally but who are his friends never
theless. They are the ones who have
been reached by his verses, for so
sympathetic is this great man that it
would be hard indeed, to find a man,
woman or child who does not appre-
ciate Riley.
Although Mr.. Riley is recognized as
a great poet by critics of the sternest
school, he prefers to be known as an
humble singer who raises his voice
that humanity may be benefited by a
little OF life's sunshine. He has found
the good elements of everything and
so optimistic is his philosophy that
he has never found it necessary even
to hint at the sordid things of life.
This is one of the reasons why he
has won so large an audience and
why, when he was simply writing a
daily column of verse for an Indian
apolis newspaper, long before his
name was well known, he attracted
the attention of Henry Wadsworth
There is no more popular man in
than James Whitcomb
Riley. and this popularity does not

1t isn't far amiss to compare pro-
fessors to football coaches. They're
doing their best to "whip us into
shape" for the game of life, whether
in law, engineering or business. But
we've got to do our part.
