Tho l have wandered far from Idaho

In all my dreams her vision haunts me

My College Days have long been over

And Our God is satisfied
We will give a cheer for Idaho.
For our own dear Idaho.
The decisions in such cases are al
ways open to criticism as are the de-
cisions of a judge or jury or the
judges of a debate. There were many
in the audience who believed the SEN
iors should have had first place and
others who believed that the sopho
mores were surely entitled to the hon
or. When the decision was rendered
that we'll known, overworked and I'M
refined word rotten" was hurled at
the judges by some of the overzealous
friends of the losing classes. 1t is re-
ally to be regretted that all four
classes could not have won for their
work was worthy. But there was but
one prize and the judges, no doubt, |
acted fairly There are bound to be
in every kind of a |
contest and the real sport is the one |
who is a good loser. 1t requires no
sporting blood to be good winner.
The Senior Stunt
The seniors gave a really good per-

they were entitled to win the prize
The work of this class was really
clever and while it was not as ludicr-

It showed much hard work. real study
and artistic production. The style of

HOW morrill, FUND
ACCOUNTS ARE KEPT
BRYAN CLEARS UP
MATTERS IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS FUND

Regarding the check kept on federal
funds allowed this state, and partic-
uIarly the check on the Morrill, fund
which the supreme court says must be
turned over to the university, DR.. E.
A. Bryan, state commissioner of edu-
cation issued the following statement
today:
1.-THE decision of the supreme court
in the Morrill, fund case was a fore
gone conclusion, so plain and simple is
the act of congress of August 1890,
making the grant, said Commission
er Bryan of the department of educa-
ton. '"The public, however, has been
misinformed on the exact status of
these funds and their administration.
'In the first place, the regents of
the university are state officials
charged under the constitution and
laws of the state with the administra-
ton of certain duties, and they have
no option but to carry out the law as
it is.
"In the second place, the Morrill,
fund and likewise the Hatch, Adams
and Smith-Lever funds are appropri-
ations of the United States for certain
specific purposes and must be admin
istered precisely as the United States
law directs, the provisions and condi-
lions of which were formally accepted
by the state of Idaho.

Treasurer UnderBOnd

I'm the third place, the United States
laws making these grants provide that
the moneys be paid to the treasurers
of the institutions and disbursed and
accounted for by him, and the treas
urer of the University of Idaho is I'M
der a $4,000 bond for the faithful dis
charge of his duty.
Sin the fourth place, the expendi-
lures from these funds are checked IN

(HENRY WOOD)

WITH THE FRENCH AFIELD,
May 31.-From every point of the 60
mile battle front between Rheims and
scissors streams of refugees poured
down the roads leading to central
France, fleeing Hun invasion. The
highways are bordered nightly with
fugitiyes' bivouacs. For miles and
miles the rolling country is aflicker
wit htiny camp fires. On their weary
march God knows where they are rest
ing, wherever night has found them,
s eeping under their vehicles. The
lucky ones are eating little food.
The fleeing humanity is a pitiful
spectacle resembling the exodus of
Israel's children in Egypt. There is
every conceivable vehicle from oxen
to baby carriages. Old women, babies
and children are clutching goats and
chickens. Some of the poorest carried
their possessions on their backs or in
The herds of oxen are intermingled
with pigs and chickens. All the re-
fugees are fearfully glancing back
ward watching the shell smoke. There
are no young men among them; all
are women, girls and very old men.
