ASHuNGTO

Washington is described by one
writer as having qualities solid rath-
er than brilliant. In the main, that
is doubtless an accurate description,
though in Washington's military ca
reer there are instances, which have
caused competent critics to award
him honor for brilliance as we'll as
soidity. Some of the feats which
Washington performed with troops
poorly armed and trained, against ire
mendous natural obstacles and against
the skill Of able generals from the
British regular army, have won for
him a high place among the great gen.
erals Of history.
But Washington was, Temperament
tally, a man of solid character. and it
has been we'll for this nation that il
those early critical years Of its his
tory it had as its leader a man as
san as orderly-minded, as thorough
ly dependable, as Georg Washington.
During this nations formative per-
iod the French revolution was just in
sight. The stage was set for 1t, and
the actors were about ready. The
spirit which resulted in the terrible
excuses Of those Hateful days in Paris
was abroad, and everywhere men had
been learning the patter Of the radi-
calls who fondly imagined that they
were to create a new heaven and a
new earth, and who, instead, by their
wild extravagances, sA back the cause
OF popular government in France for
at least half a century. Means Of
trans-oceanic communication were
scant, but news of the great move
ment in Europe had made its way to
the colonies. There were not want
ing, even among the patriotic men
Of the day, the visionary and Short
sighted, who, in the emphasis which
they placed on liberty, forgot that all
true liberty is grounded on order.
Without the balance Of a mind like
W~ashington's. the new nation might
easily have been launched upon the
shallow and t~rcacherous waters Of a
fictitious liberty where it would soon
have been wrecked. But Washington
was there, wise, brave, steady, and
with the conception Of the needs Of
a real democracy which, as we view
it in the light Of the history Of these
hundred and thirty years, seems mar
velous in its scope and clearness.
The nation owes much to Washing
ton the soldier, but it owes still more
to Washington the statesman. And
with more than a century separating
his time from ours, we find that the
greatest danger that confronts the re-
public today arises from the habit
into which many have fallen Of
thrusting into the background the
very principles Of government of
which Washington was 50 conspicu-
Gus and so able an exponent. Never
before in history, both here and
abroad, has there been greater need
for the recognition and application
Of the principles for which Washing
ton stood, and upon which he aided
in planting a nation that has endured.

The college paper is an institution

college there ID maintained q student
publication the management of which
is largely or entirely in the hands of
the students themselves. These pub

it is characteristic Of practically the
entire group that very wide latitude is
allowed such publications in the var
ious subjects which come up for com
ment and discussion. AS . rule, "ev-
