The other day DR.. G.. w. Eliot
emeritus president of Harvard, Jeele-
brated his 88th birthday. All
would do well to note some of the
things which have preserved his
health. Fresh air, good food, mod
crate sleep, moderation in eating
and exercise. He had no use for
experts" in prescribing diet, but
used his own judgment. DR.. Eliot
still works IL hours per day. We
should think of him when we feel
overworked in school.
The members of the staff try to
collect all news of interest to
friends of M. & M, but as they can't
be everywhere at once they may
miss few items; in case of this
please tip the staff of any thing
overlooked, for it will be doing
them a service and it will be the
means of making public an other
wise obscure event. Also any M. &
M. student who has an honest opin-
ion to express do so by these means
The great force of conscience
was recently illustrated at o. s. U.
A student had stolen two sets of
drawing instruments, intending to
sell them, but gnawed by the worm
he returned them. He realized what
a great blot he would be putting on
his life, mark, never to be erased.
This shows that remorse over
takes the transgressor not so much
in the thunder, lightning, or earth
quake, as in the "still small voice. 4"
Because belonging to the one big
family of M. & NJ, students
shouldn't disregard their class
spirit 1t is by this that the mem
cries of M. & M. shall be kept alive.
To disregard school events is
traitorous to our duty. We must
support such school events as ath-
letic games, lyceum numbers, etc.
1t is part of our duty and our spirit
is judged by how we fulfill these OBJ
legations.
