'The* Literary ‘'Department of the College contains ■two courses; the Classical and the Philosophical. , Agreeing entirely in the Junior Pre­ paratory ye^,. they, are the same throughout Science, Mathematics, Di­ alectics, and Latin;'differing only in: one respect—the Classical has Greek, the Philosophical has German, and History. Accordingly .the students of both coursca are in the same classet -Vnore than three-fourths, of their time iii college’. The present arrange­ ment and content of the courses is'the result of much painstaking effort and Consideration, and embodies the ex­ perience of several years In .seeking what is really best. We arc opposed to the. method Which ’Is finding favor in some col­ leges of allowing the student' to pick a, course from the very start, which so often results in his picking out the Easiest studies- thnt will lenik to his degree. Instead of being offered ; In­ ducements to shirk, lie Bhould be ad­ vised as to what would he'most bene- ‘ fleial to him. Many students look back with regret at the Jack of Sys­ tem In their past work; The object of ,a college education is to train the mind, w ith ' emphasis on tile word “train," To train Is to create orderly action, A confused method of selec­ tion caunot lead to orderly results. University methods should be -used only In a university, and a student is not ready for the university until he has been graduated from college. It would be an extreme view for a man to value his literary training, more than anything else he secured in college. However, just ha a mechanic must know how to use his tools In or­ der to make them profitable, so, the thinker must know how to apply his store of facts. Next to obtaining knowledge is the power of communi­ cating It pleasingly interestingly, and convincingly. Such our Elocution Department, under the directorship of Miss flost, strives to do. The Musical Department, under, the Instruction of Misscs-Bcazell and Sil- lito, Is full and thorough, not only laying a good foundation, but also developing to a high standard what­ ever is latent In the student. At present there Is too much of a tendency for a man to excuse his own poor workmanship on account of the hurry and bustle, of the age. * This kind of progress Is not progress. Thoroughness Is the demand of the employer, trad he forms a habit of ex­ hausting his subject will provide con­ tentment for himself. and satisfaction for his fellowmen, , PERSONALS, 4 Of the class of '97; Rev.

Houser, . f . Several years ago,-in the eve of a summer’s day, the writer stood beside the historic well on famous Blenner- hnssett Islaud, Tlie surrounding land­ scape—this i-iver, hills, valley, Belpre and Farkershurg—were dim in the gold and purple of sunset. All ani­ mated nature seemed to repose in the deathlike hush of the twilight hour. Over and around the spot fraught with so much romance and tragic in­ terest the mystic' atmosphere of long dead years settled, and through its haze I saw the xslapd .abloom again— a sylvian retreat amid the beauty of which Hermnu and Margaret Bleu nerhaesett, their two boyk and a small relimie of slaves dwelt , in pnstorial peace till broken in upon by the in­ trusion of that arch plotter, Aaron Burr, with his wild Scheme of creat­ ing a vast Southwestern.

"A Dream of Finpire,” is the title of the novel, and its author is William Henry Venable, of Oinciiinnfi/ end dent as an historical and educational writer. In this Work' the author hag given ys a real historical novel; I say real because in many of the so-called historical novels the foundation is so flimsy, and nit times vague, as to make the term "historical” a misnomer; while in "A Drcarti of Empire” every school boy will voucl^for the historical setting, and the close. artistic fidelity to the material in hand ptits the ear­ mark of "real” to the production. To me the book is remarkable for its vivid portrayal^ of character and scenes. Every character is given a distinct personality, lives and moves; fever, scene is a . photograph. The reader lias the feeling of suddenly be­ ing taken up dud set down amid the scenes and environments existing in the Middle West ninety-five yearn j ago. In most historical novels, how- .ever skillful the artist’s touch, there remains hovering over the narrative 'Hint mystic atmosphere that time gives; tint in Prof, Veiiahle’s pro­ duction .ciieh. and every one of the features of .tho drama is as clearly seen as if our 20th century eyes .were permitted to gaze oti a miragereflect, iiig the soeinl conditions und circum- stances existing in the Ohio valley during the time of the story.

Brilliant, . resourceful, masterful Aaron Burr is the .moving spirit, and we are given an insight into his char­ acter, which will, no doubt, dispell many ideas previously held concern­ ing this gifted hut unscrupulous man, One is., fnscinnted by his graceful, suave manners and splendid intellect while despising his motives, With equal ixefcision the author . lelineates the characters of General Wilkinson, Blemlerhhssptt?and his olumfung wife, and Theodosia, Burr’s idolized daughter. .

But if she be a judicious manager she will, in the spring, when fish are at their best and cheapest, and in the summer, when fresh eggs fall as low ns‘15 cents per dozen, set aside a reserve meat fund for the winter and assure herself n good cut once a day, with art occasional fowl.
