 President Wilson's has been the kind of service in public office which most nearly typifes the ideal of the younger college men of today" said MT. Mahan. Tn my opinion Presi- dent Wilson echoed the sentiments of these men in his speech on Thurs day before the postmasters of the country when he said he believed in party only so far as 1t was an in- strument of achievement.
 "Our work will be carried on un| der the name of tho National Wood- row Wilson College Mems League. It Is my intention to establish locals in the principal cities of the coun- ' try. The league is to be strictly non- partisan, 1t being our intention to so- licit the support of all college men of whatever political faith, who prefer the clean-cut, forward-looking prin- ciples of Woodrow Wilson to the stand-pat reactionary principles and appeal of the Republican organiza- ton. I am confident that the large kaajority of college men throughout the country will welcome an oppor- tunity to join a movement of this kind when they tamiliarize them- selves with Woodrow Wilson's record of achievement and appreciate his eagerness to interest progressive young men in the government of the United States"

 BIRTHDAY

It was 120 years ago today that Gen. Moses Cleaveland. director of the Connecticut Land Company, arrived at the mouth of the Cuyhoga river and decided upon the site of the future great city which was to perpetuate his name. Before the end of the year the town was laid out and surveyed and was named Cleaveland, in honor of the founder. For some years this spelling prevailed. but eventually the first ia" was dropped. Originally the town was confined to the eastern shore of the river. but subsequently the rival town of Brooklyn or Ohio city was built on the opposite shore, and later was united with Cleveland. Beginning with Q population of three. Cleveland had sixteen inhabitants two years later, and century ago it boasted a population of over 300. In 1850 the population was only i7,0S4, but the railroad era gave the city a great impetus and the population quadrupled in a decade. Since then Cleveland's history has been one of marvellous growth, and it is now the Sixth City" of North America.

ANATOMY

The first anatomist to attempt . systematic analysis of the human body i'as Marie Francois Xavier Bichat. who died in Paris IA years ago to-day. at the age of thirty Prior to Bichat's Investigations there had ben little sys- tematic order. in the study of anato- my and physiology. and dissections were chiefly made with a view to the practical arts of surgery alone. Bichat was a pioreer in attempting to reduce the con piex structures of the body to their elementary tissues, and to as- certain the peculiar properties of each simple tissue. His "Anatomie Gene rale." and his "Anatomie Descrip- tive" formed new era in the develop ment of the science of anatomy, and while many of his generalixations were faulty. he supplied the incentive for others to carry on the work. Natural ly of weak constitution, his inces- sant labor so wore upon him as to bring his brilliant career to an end while he was still little more than a boy.
