uttering up your attic with rtHbiAh 1t | only for the bonfire. On the other hand | 1t would be a patriotic and intellectual | crime not to remember some dates It is l well for us Americans to remember l some things that live in our past The l eight days of April between the 18th and | the aeth loom up big In our political life. ] It was on the 18th Of April, 1775 that 1 the British got. their first real black eye ! from the celonists.- when they were re- pulsed by Massachusetts farmers at Lex. l ington.

Of course it will never be forgotten that an April fl, 1885 the nebio Lincoln was ass4ssinated- Let Us pigeon hole events like these in the cells oHmefn- cry.
 T11s writer of these pasAsrAHhs 1ifts up his voice in protest against digtoftihg facts in presenting an argument. It iB as fociish in policy as 1t is wrong in. ethics. A person always weakens his po- sition by misrepresentation. Individuall- ] ty marks our differences Of opinion aB | it does cur differences; in personal ap-7 pearance. We have differences of view because of the structural differences Of
 mind. If this were not so, politically NO would not be divided up into republicans, 1 democrats, socialists etc.; and religiously 1 into Protestants, Catholics. Jews and other sects. But what | cannot under. rnstand is that we should deliberately go out of our way to misrepresent the other fellows position. or late the Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs has been criticized.

 the United States.
 Il Just feeble expression from one who ] is not known internationally as an ex- . pert musical critic. The writer wal present awhile ago at aAconcert given al Slater hall by a celebrated pianist Il was a very creditable entertainment of the part of the performer, and also ef the part of one of his lsteners! at least ? he did not disgrace his wife by clappinz : or yawning at the wrong time. At tht ,l end of each of the wonderful Variationi and Fugue by Beethoven, his appiAusi was discriminating, for he was kept ir ! r the swim by taking his cue from we'll known musician who sat near him. An' variation it was indeed, at one tine lfk, the eooing of dove and then like a bolshe
