'Bill is opposed to the whole plan,"
he said. pursing up his lips with evi.

all his works. "He seems to feel that

He declares that no more stock must

Gold Mining company the biggest

He spread his hands In a gesture Of
real regret.
"Bill's a fine fellow" he said. "and
one Of my best friends. But he's q
hard man to do business with. He
takes very peculiar view Of the mat

That's why hope you'll use whatever
influence you have, to induce him to
withdraw his opposition"
"But." Hazel murmured, in some per
plexity, ''from what little know OF
corporations, I don't see how he can set
up any difficulty. How can he stop

Viewpoint of Undergraduate.

I find that there is a cause for the lack of individuality in undergraduate themes. a cause other than the mere absence of ideas in undergraduates. It may be traced even to the door of class. rooms and to the chairs of college pro- fessors. For, in college, literature is oot thing Of the spirit, but of the mind and you will encounter above the door of the English department the scholars first and last commandment {: Beware of your emotions" There is no escape for those who enter, so have done with your adolescence, which has given you to understand beauty and freshness of phrase. You are face to face now with form, with technique and with the history of literaure.--At
