-In accordance with the regulations governing the management of the
-ARCHIVE, the Editors from the Hesperian Society are changed. Two new
-ones take their places in this issue on the staff, and three of the
-former set are retained, but are assigned to new work. The
-representatives of the Columbian Society do not go out till the last
-quarter. By this arrangement part at least of the staff is always
-familiar with the duties of the office.

-falls upon it. Write to the ARCHIVE, and in so doing you will furnish
-entertainment to many a friend of your college days. We mean _you_.

-
-That toy of modern linguists—Volapûk—is having a wonderful run with
-publishers. Handbooks to it “now tread on one another’s heels.” The
-American Philosophical Society, at a meeting last fall, appointed a
-committee to examine into the scientific value of this “universal
-language.” Their report points out the requirements for such a language,
-and finds on comparing them with Father Schleyer’s system, that it is
-“synthetic and complex,” and therefore unsuited to modern needs.
-
- * * * * *
-
-M. Renan has a picturesque way of putting things. In his “History of the
-People of Israel,” (Vol. I, lately published) he says of David:
-
-“We shall see the _brigand_ of Adullam and Ziglag adopt by and by the
-ways of a saint. He will be the author of the Psalms, the sacred
-choragus, the type of the future Saviour. Jesus will be a son of David.
-The pious souls who will find delight in the resignation and the
-melancholy contained in the finest of liturgical books, will think
-themselves in communion with this bandit. Humanity will believe in a
-final justice on the testimony of David, who never thought of it, and of
-the Sibyl, who never existed. _Teste David cum Sibylla!_ O divine
-comedy!”
-
-
-
-
- TWO SHAKESPEARIAN CHARACTERS
-
-
-The Tragedy of Cymbeline was written during the latter ten years of
-Shakespeare’s life and has much of the exquisite beauty and austere
-sweetness of _Othello_ and _The Tempest_, which belong to the same
-period. In structure this Tragedy is quite complex. There are in it no
-less than four distinct groups of persons, all of whom, however, though
-without any concert or common purpose, draw together with perfect
-smoothness and harmony in working out the author’s plan.
-
-Of all the characters that acquit themselves in this drama, no two show
-such different dispositions as Imogen and the Queen; for, wherever and
-under whatever conditions they are found, antagonism in character is
-sure to be shown. The leading purpose of the play is to be sought for in
-the character of Imogen. She is an impersonation of the moral beauty of
-womanhood. This beauty is the vital current of the whole delineation,
-and everything about her, her form, her features and expression, her
-dress, her walk, her every motion are steeped in its efficacy. This
-virtue radiates from her on others and exercises a wonderful influence
-on almost all about her. Already a wife when we first see her, Imogen
-acts but little in any other quality; yet in this one she approves
-herself mistress of that womanly perfection which would make glad the
-heart and perfect the character of every one who stood in any
-relationship with her. To make up a perfect woman, she possesses sound
-judgment and decision of character, which are most admirably displayed
-in her choice of a husband. Irrespective of parental desires and the
-efficacy of royal blood, she wisely preferred a true, though humble man
-to a royal personage that could well be regarded as a counterfeit of
-humanity. Posthumus sprang of heroic stock. Having been left an orphan
-at birth, he was taken by the king and grew up the foster-brother and
-playmate of the princess; and their love, rooted in the innocence of
-childhood, interlacing all their childish thoughts and pleasures, has
-ripened with their growth; and now appears the settled habit of their
-very souls. Cloten, whom she had the good judgment to refuse, was well
-described when Mr. Hudson phrased him a “noble instance of a man or
-thing, with not merely a loose screw in the gearing but with all the
-screws loose.” He was, therefore, the last man that any body, of such
-sense and refinement as Imogen possessed, could ever be brought to
-endure. Her faithfulness is seen in her bearing Cloten’s persecutions
-with patience, till he begins to abuse her exiled husband; then, true to
-him who is a part of her very nature, she quickly turns upon Cloten, at
-the same time regretting that he puts her to “forget a lady’s manners by
-being so verbal.” That Imogen was sincerely virtuous is proved by the
-fact that Iachimo, upon approaching her with evil intentions, was
-compelled to exclaim, “Boldness, be my friend! arm me, audacity, from
-head to foot!” Truly appropriate was this language, for having once
-learned his wilful intention she with one word shattered his armor of
-“audacity.” So great was the influence of her purity that Iachimo was at
-once charmed and chastened, for “under the ribs of death” her moral
-beauty had created a soul. And further is the truth of her virtue
-confirmed when Iachimo discovers himself and speaks of her as “that
-paragon for whom my heart drops blood, and my false spirits quail to
-remember.” That her moral delicacy shrinks from the least atom of
-untruth, is touchingly shown in this, “If I lie, and do not harm by it,
-though the gods hear, I hope they’ll pardon it.” Imogen might don a
-man’s attire, but her pure motives and God-given virtues had shaped a
-heart that could not contain the sterner qualities of the other sex; and
-so utterly did she fail in her attempt to appear as a man, that we find
-wise and reverend manhood exclaiming at sight of her, “Behold divineness
-no elder than a boy!”
-
-It might be with reluctance that we would turn from contemplating a
-perfect character to look at the faults of an imperfect one, if we did
-not first remember that the Queen possesses only those commonplace
-elements of character that characterizes, though in a less degree, all
-moral beings. But, since we are through natural instinct and acquired
-inclination always ready to blame poor human nature, we cannot but give
-vent to our feelings when we find so mean a grade as is possessed by
-Cymbeline’s Queen. She is deeply false, false to everything but her son
-and her own ambition. She has the king quite under her power, the lords
-blame not the king for any wrong act, knowing that he sees only through
-her eyes, acts only as she plans, and speaks only as she dictates. The
-Queen has set her heart upon matching her son with the princess, who is
-expected to succeed her father in the kingdom, not so much through love
-for the poor clod, as that she knows him to be a clod whom she will be
-able to control, and thus secure the continuation of her power. Perhaps
-the depth of her character is not fathomed by all, and certainly not by
-the king, until on her death-bed she reveals the most detestible
-qualities of a corrupt nature.
-
-Thus it is seen that in these characters we have simplicity and harmony
-of character, clearness of understanding, depth and purity of feeling,
-the whole circle and aggregate of eloquent womanhood contrasted with a
-character inconsistent only with the truth, vile deceit, a masculine
-disposition combined with all that is complex, detestible and fiendish,
-last, but most prominent of all, a woman destitute of womanhood.

-
-Some boys console themselves for their want of energy in study by the
-fact that Patrick Henry, for instance, was a very poor student at
-school, or that Byron, or some other illustrious character was the
-poorest member of his class at College. They have the presumption to
-imagine that, because they follow in school the example of Henry and
-Byron, they will be as renowned in after life as an inevitable sequence.
-They dream of doing great things bye and bye, but are very indifferent
-about the present little things, which are the essentials of greatness.
-Such boys forget to compare what Patrick Henry was, with what he might
-have been, had he diligently applied himself at school. Therefore it is
-no wonder that in after life they realize their mistake and exclaim
-farewell, a long farewell to all my anticipated greatness!
-
- * * * * *
-
-That old bigot Berkley, governor of the colony of Virginia, once said,
-“I thank God that there are no free schools, nor printing-presses, and I
-hope we shall not have them these hundred years!!” It was thought that
-this sentiment had long ago been eradicated from the minds of the
-American people, especially of the higher classes, but it is a sad fact
-that a few weeks ago an expression of like import was uttered even
-within the halls of the United States Senate. Now, two centuries after
-Berkley, a United States Senator says that, were he called upon to frame
-a title for the Blair Educational Bill, he would call it an act to erect
-a monument to Alexander Hamilton, and to encourage mendicancy in the
-South. Such a sentiment as this needs no comment, for every man who is a
-true patriot and has ever been outside of his own county will condemn
-the Senator’s remarks upon him who first “smote the rock of national
-resources and abundant streams of revenue gushed forth, who touched the
-corpse of public credit and it sprang upon its feet.”
-
- * * * * *
-
-The primary object of a collegiate education should not be to educate
-for the sole purpose of making money, but to educate for education’s
-sake. The statement can be made, without too much self-laudation, that
-many Southern boys give evidences of great original ability while at
-college, but just as soon as they complete the course, too many think
-only of making money, and therefore entirely neglect literary work.
-Never can the South boast of a golden age of literature, nor can she
-furnish her own text-books, until this mistaken idea of education is
-driven out by the substitution of one which will give us a higher
-standard of refinement, and make us independent so far as poetry,
-history, fiction and text-books are concerned.
-
- * * * * *
-
-People cannot do without news, and therefore newspapers are necessary.
-Furthermore, if their object be improvement in literary attainments,
-they exert an indispensable influence for good. They unite the people
-more closely, and have a great tendency to prevent sectionalism. But in
-our modern newspapers there is too much of the sensational and of the
-worthless. There is a continual contest between some papers to see which
-one can give the best account of the most brutal murders. In addition to
-this, every little thing, of no importance whatever, must be noticed,
-and therefore it takes up the space which should be occupied by good
-solid reading. Zeb. Vance can’t have a photograph taken, nor can
-President Cleveland wear a plug hat without its being mentioned in some
-newspaper.
-
-Wake Forest has sustained a great loss by the death of Prof. J. R.
-Duggan. It is sad to see one so young and at the same time so promising
-and so devoted to his profession, taken from the field of scientific
-investigation. The President of his _alma mater_ said that he never
-missed a college duty. This is a compliment which indeed only a very few
-boys ever win. Punctuality is just as essential to success as a
-knowledge of text-books. Had morning prayers no other object than to get
-boys to conform to systematic habits, they could not be abolished
-without detriment to the scholars. For the boy who learns to be punctual
-at school will be so in life.
-
- * * * * *
-
-Many young men who read of the eccentricities and vices of men of genius
-at once try to become eccentric by practicing the same vices. Some who
-have morbidly sensitive dispositions, imagine that they are exactly like
-Edgar Allan Poe, and determine to become poets. They let their hair grow
-long, assume a dreamy expression of face, write poetry that is enough to
-exasperate any man of sense, and because every body does not go into
-ecstacy over their literary performances, talk about how inappreciative
-the world has always been of the first efforts of genius. These same
-young men will practice the vices of Goldsmith, Byron, Poe, and other
-great geniuses of the past, and imagine that it is conclusive proof of
-the fact that mentally they are like these great men. Some are always
-trying to say something witty in a brusque way, because that was the way
-Dr. Johnson did. Others imagine that they can never become lawyers or
-politicians unless they get drunk occasionally. They say that Sheridan,
-Webster, Prentiss, and other great orators drank freely.
-
- * * * * *
-
-It is a lamentable fact that a large number of the young men of the
-present day who intend to enter the ministry seem to think it necessary
-to be able to speak in a drawling, sanctimonious tone, until this method
-of talking has been denominated the “clerical whine.” There is no reason
-why a preacher should speak in the pulpit with an entirely different
-voice from that which he employs on other occasions. The truth of it is,
-some young preachers hear a man who has a big reputation as a preacher
-speak with the nasal twang, and straightway fancy that they can never
-become good preachers unless they can speak in the same way. Other young
-preachers try to imitate Sam Jones, or some other popular preacher,
-especially their eccentricities. The world makes allowances for the
-eccentricities and vices of genius, but never countenances them in
-mediocrity. The young man who thus tries to _ape_ other men, not only
-loses the respect of others, but soon loses his own self respect.
-Individuality is a characteristic of genius, so that a young man who
-tries to imitate others proves by his actions that he is devoid of real
-ability, and makes himself contemptible in the eyes of sensible people.
-Every young man should determine to preserve his identity, and have the
-stamp of individuality upon all his actions, and he will then at least
-command respect, if he does not become distinguished as an eccentric
-genius.
-
- * * * * *
-
-It is to be feared that stump speaking, in its highest and best sense,
-is becoming a thing of the past. People no longer delight to hear the
-great political questions of the day discussed in a sound, sensible
-manner on the stump, but seem to have a morbid appetite for smutty jokes
-and low buffoonery. The man who can tell the most anecdotes is the man
-for the office. It is a shame for the citizens of a State to applaud the
-vulgar jokes of men running for high offices. Such men deserve to be
-frowned upon with the virtuous indignation and contempt of every true
-citizen. It matters not how well they may tell their jokes, yet they are
-corrupters of the morals of the young who hear them, and do injury to
-the State in which they live, just in proportion to their talent and
-influence. Why is it that we so rarely have discussions now to which
-ladies can listen? Why is it that we do not have canvasses like that of
-Prentiss in Mississippi years ago, when he stumped the State for
-Congress, and the ladies turned out to hear the famous orator? Such
-stump speeches as those made by Douglas and Lincoln in Illinois, and
-Gov. Wise in Virginia, in which these great men discussed the political
-issues of the country in a statesman-like way? Why was President
-Garfield abused so outrageously by the stump speakers of opposite
-political faith to him, and a few months afterwards, when he was
-assassinated, lauded to the skies by the same men? Stump speaking in
-these latter times seems to have been assigned, in the main, to the
-lowest demagogues in each party, who see how much mud they can throw at
-each other, and how many vile jokes and political lies they can tell.
-
- * * * * *
-
-The students of Trinity have in the past had the reputation throughout
-the State of being good speakers. They should determine to maintain this
-reputation. The way to do this is for them to take an interest in
-Society work. Society training is an invaluable part of every young
-man’s college education. No student should fail to improve the
-opportunities offered to him in this line. There is nothing that should
-be more congenial to a student who has any ambition than a good literary
-society—a society where he can learn to express himself with ease and
-fluency, with grammatical correctness, and rhetorical finish, where he
-can learn to clothe his thought in appropriate language, where he can
-cultivate his imaginative and reasoning powers. Some students seem to
-think that because they gave not the rhythmic flow of language of a
-Cicero, the information of a Burke, or the wit sarcasm and fluency of a
-John Randolph, that it is useless for them ever to try to become
-speakers. They seem to forget that no man can be a grand success right
-at the start, and that persistent effort is required to succeed at
-anything. Those who have no natural talent for speaking should be
-encouraged when they think of Demosthenes and other great orators, who
-possessed little natural powers of oratory. Let every student, at the
-beginning of this new year, take more interest in society work, and
-strive to become at least a moderately good speaker.

- STUDIES IN ENGLISH AND AMERICAN LITERATURE, FROM CHAUCER TO THE
- PRESENT TIME; WITH STANDARD SELECTIONS FROM REPRESENTATIVE WRITERS
- FOR CRITICAL STUDY AND ANALYSIS. By Albert N. Raub, Ph. D.,
- Principal of the Central State Normal School, Lock Haven, Pa., and
- Author of “Lessons in English,” “Practical English Grammar,” etc.,
- 468 pp. Cloth. Philadelphia. Raub & Co. 1887.
-
-This is one of the books “to meet a long-felt want.” The work is
-intended not only to give a biographical sketch of the representative
-writers, but also a criticism of their work, and, following this, a
-masterpiece selected from each author’s writings, with such explanatory
-notes appended as will lead the pupil to study more critically and with
-more profit not only the beauties but also the defects, of his language.
-It is a book on literature, criticism, and the literary analysis of the
-English classics in one, and is an admirable supplement to the study of
-both Rhetoric and English Grammar. The plan is the now so popular method
-used by Kellogg, Swinton, and others, thereby giving this book many of
-the excellences found in the works of those scholars. If, however, it be
-pertinent to mention among its good qualities a defect, it may be said
-that the number of American authors is out of proportion to the English,
-thereby unduly emphasizing American literature. In the main, this is a
-very good book, and is altogether worthy of the ready acceptance which
-it is receiving in quite a number of our schools and colleges.

- PRACTICAL RHETORIC AND COMPOSITION: A complete and practical
- discussion of capital letters, punctuation, letter-writing, style
- and composition. By Albert N. Raub, A. M., Ph. D., author of
- “Lessons in English,” “Practical English Grammar,” “Studies in
- English and American Literature,” “Methods of Teaching,” “School
- Management,” etc. 320 pp. Cloth. Philadelphia. Raub & Co. 1887.
-
-In the preparation of this work the author’s aim has been to compile a
-treatise on the subject of Rhetoric and Composition that may claim to be
-wholly _practical_ and teachable. The arrangement of subjects varies
-from the usual order, and to good purpose. The influence of the school
-to which Bain belongs is made manifest to a great and quite beneficial
-degree, giving the book characteristics worthy of great commendation.
-Each topic or principle discussed is followed by copious examples which
-are in the main fresh and apposite. “Letter-Writing,” while well
-treated, is extended out of proportion to the rest. A great deal of
-space is given in this work to Poetry. Since the appearance of the works
-of Gummere, Mayor, and Schepper, the attempt to force Latin meter upon
-the English accentual verse is unpardonable. On the whole, however, this
-is a very good Elementary Rhetoric.

- LIGHTS OF TWO CENTURIES: Edited by Edward Everett Hale. Illustrated
- with fifty portraits. A. S. Barnes & Co. New York. 1887. 8vo. pp.
- vi, 603.
-
-This work is a series of biographical essays comprehending fifty of the
-leading artists, sculptors, prose writers, composers, poets and
-inventors of the last two hundred years. It treats of those master
-spirits who, in contradistinction to those who belonged to “schools”,
-have caused by their individual efforts material improvements in their
-respective spheres. The essays are written in a perspicuous and easy
-style, although the matter is very condensed. They treat of the
-subject’s life as directly influenced by his works, carry the reader
-through philosophy, veiled by incident, and finally drop him much
-pleased and wishing there were more. We may learn a little of our
-national inclinations by looking over the Table of Contents. Among the
-artists, sculptors and composers, not one American is found, showing
-that in these features we are deficient. Among prose writers and poets,
-America claims one each. But when we come to the inventors we find that
-four of the nine, classed leading in two hundred years, were natives of
-our one-hundred-year-old republic. An agreeable feature is the
-pronunciation affixed to all proper names, so that we feel more at ease
-when we meet in print our cousins from abroad. The portrait of each one
-is given, and dubious points are explained in ample foot-notes. The type
-is large and leaded, and the volume tastefully bound.

- FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS OF THE STATE OF
- NORTH CAROLINA, for the year 1887; W. N. Jones, Commissioner;
- Josephus Daniels, State Printer and Binder.
-
-Besides following reports of other States as models, taking from each
-that feature which he considers best, the Commissioner has introduced a
-chapter on railroads, a feature by no means out of place. In chapters
-III and IV, the agricultural interests receive their due share of
-consideration. The chapter on Convict Labor, however, shows a deficiency
-of information on the general subject, confines itself to opinions of
-politicians, employers of laborers, and labor organizations, and lacks
-statistics, which perhaps time may improve. For the first effort the
-report is a very creditable affair. It is well indexed, and thus
-rendered useful to general readers, all of whom can obtain it free by
-writing to the Commissioner at Raleigh, N. C.

-The first part of Whitney’s French Grammar, supplemented by
-conversational exercises and lists of idiomatic phrases, has just been
-brought out by Henry Holt & Co. This adds what was lacking in the other,
-and affords a welcome relief from the imperfections of the
-conversation-grammars of the Bôcher-Otto type.

- A. M. SHARP, _Hesperian_, │ „
-
-In the _Randolph-Macon Monthly_, for January may be noted the article
-entitled “Hanover Court House,” around which cluster memories of Patrick
-Henry; also “De Quincy,” in which the author gives a graphic criticism
-of some of the “English Opium Eater’s” productions. But the most
-pleasing feature of the periodical is a neat cut of Randolph-Macon’s new
-gymnasium. This is a reminder that an article appeared in this magazine
-last month relative to the advantages of a gymnasium. But it is an
-established fact that a weak body and soft muscles will ever be a
-serious hindrance to a strong mind, so too much cannot be said favorable
-to that great agent of physical culture. No College can count itself
-fully equipped without this very necessary feature. In the acquisition
-of her “Physical Culture Hall,” Randolph-Macon may rest assured that she
-has taken a long step in the right direction.
-
-
-In the Sophomore and Freshman years, students use _text-books_, but in
-the Senior and Junior years they use _subjects_,—_Haverfordian_.
-
-Were ‘should’ inserted in each place preceding ‘use,’ the above would be
-true here. Text-books should blaze the way, as it were, for the student
-in the acquisition of an education. Nothing is more difficult to instill
-into the mind of a student than the principle that he is to study for an
-education and not for a grade. He will not comprehend that, when school
-days are over, the world is not going to look in the “grade-book” for
-figures by which to size him up, but is going to estimate him by what is
-in his head. The abolition of the marking system would be a great boon
-to the cause of education. Then would students leave off worrying and
-cramming their heads with the contents of dry text-books, the knowledge
-of which remains only temporarily, and broaden out with a course of
-reading, making the acquisition of knowledge not a burden but a
-pleasure.
-
-
-The _Wake Forest Student_ for January has a very interesting article on
-“States Rights.” It begins by calling attention to the late decision
-rendered by the Supreme Court in the case of Judge Bond’s injunction.
-The writer states in reference to the decision that it has given to the
-doctrine of State Rights, which received almost its death-blow in the
-Civil War, “new strength and new limbs.” It will be remembered that
-strength and life began to be infused in 1872 when the decision was
-rendered in reference to the Louisiana Slaughter house cases; also by
-the subsequent decisions “which pronounced null and void the ‘Kuklux
-Act’ and the ‘Civil Rights Act,’ because the absurd theory on which they
-were based would make Congress take the place of State Legislatures and
-supersede them.” Taking into consideration that the late decision was
-rendered by Justices appointed by Republican Presidents, the principle
-of State Rights has indeed received a wonderful impetus. The author is a
-very able champion of the sovereignty of States as the only sure plan of
-retaining our individual rights. We feel sure that his words voice the
-sentiment of every true lover of his State.
-
-
-In the last number of the _College Message_ appears an article of merit
-entitled “The Novel Again, A Protest.” The author is not lacking in
-appreciation of novels of the first order, and, indeed, assigns to works
-of fiction, by standard authors, the honor of performing a great and
-good office; but justly criticises that slimy stream of inferior fiction
-which is flooding the marts of literature, and disseminating vicious and
-corrupting sentiments in the minds of the young. The article shows its
-author well versed in the subject. It is acknowledged that cigarettes
-and whiskey are the uncompromising enemy of boys. Inferior novels are
-the inveterate enemies of both boys and girls. The former foes inflict
-wounds, for the time being, upon the body, yet these being vanquished
-the wounds will heal; but the latter attack the mind—the soul—and war
-with poisoned weapons whose hurt is incurable.
-
-
-Many of the ARCHIVE’S political exchanges are sharply censuring Speaker
-Carlisle on account of his treatment of North Carolina representatives
-in regard to the formation of the House Committees. True, all of them
-occupy rather insignificant places. But, upon taking second thought,
-fair-minded men will not accuse Mr. Carlisle of partiality, but will
-rather ascribe the placing of North Carolina members to the short
-duration of their membership. North Carolina has many able sons and
-delights to honor them all. To do this, she distributes Congressional
-honors too frequently, so that, when a representative’s reputation and
-influence is just budding, he must step down and out to make place for a
-new member. Thus the State suffers. In regard to this, North Carolina
-may well take a lesson from the North and West.
-
-
-The Raleigh _Chronicle_, one of the best weeklies in the State, and one
-eagerly read by Trinity’s students, lends a helping-hand to the
-Endowment Fund in the shape of a well written, broad-minded editorial.
-As long as the editor wields his pen in behalf of education, may success
-attend him.
-
-
-The Greensboro _North State_, notwithstanding its politics, is one of
-the most interesting, ably-edited papers that visit the ARCHIVE.
-

-
-The editor of _The Tobacco Plant_ writes, as the fruit of his visit to
-Trinity, an article on the College. In it he pays a graceful tribute to
-his instructors in the days of yore, and closes with a stirring appeal
-to North Carolina Methodists in behalf of Trinity.

-
-Rev. Mr. Sharp and family are boarding at Mrs. Carr’s.
-
-The special Department has grown quite popular since examinations.
-
-The Editors in the Hesperian Society have been changed according to the
-regulations governing the paper.
-
-C. L. Jenkins, class of ’85, spent a few days in Trinity. “Cod Liver”
-has many friends and fellow students who were glad to see him.
-
-Every thing, you know, is very dull immediately after Christmas. The
-Local column must have its share of everything that comes along.
-
-The bulletin-board was a great curiosity to those who made their
-requisite number. We cannot find out what the balance thought about it.
-
-Mr. Raper has the Book-room in charge. Open from four to five o’clock
-every afternoon except Saturday and on that day from eight to nine
-o’clock.
-
-We learn from some members of the Faculty that in a few weeks a “Senate”
-will be organized at Trinity College. This is something that all
-colleges should have. Who knows but Senate halls may be filled with
-Trinity students.
-
-Those who remained in Trinity during the holidays say that it is not by
-any means the dullest place in the world. With the frolics, parties,
-&c., every body seemed to have had a jolly time.
-
-We were glad to see our friend, W. G. Burkhead of the _Tobacco Plant_,
-in the “city” on a few days’ visit to his Alma Mater.
-
-Prof. Henry of the State University will lecture here, Feb. 8th, on an
-educational subject. Everybody is invited to attend.
-
-Several of our boys on their return found their names on the
-“black-list” and had to stand some of their examinations over.

-temporarily acting as Treasurer.
-
-Mrs. Linton and child from Philadelphia are visiting President Crowell.
-Hope they will have a pleasant visit in our little “city.”
-
-Recitation hours have been extended until 5 o’clock, P. M. Won’t
-somebody “kick” for the novelty of the thing?
-
-Miss Ida Shaw, of High Point, spent last week with Miss Maggie Carr.
-
-No student is allowed to act as agent for any book-firm.
-
-The Trinity Boarding House combination to make 28 days a board month has
-failed. The strikers were successful.
-
-The Seniors in Political Science will have the pleasure of studying the
-labor reports. Of course they are very interesting, as every reader will
-attest.
-
-’Tis now afloat that the Railroad to run by Trinity College will
-immediately be completed. This may be merely a passing notice to some,
-but the people of Randolph county have determined no longer to be cut
-off from the busy world. When she gets her Telegraph line and Railroad
-she will no longer be classed _Trinity via hackman’s express_.
-
-State Superintendent Finger lectured in Trinity Chapel, January 18th, on
-the Public School Problem. His lecture was interesting and beneficial
-and enjoyed by all, especially by the young folks. Our President in
-conclusion said we were like a little child, when we got a good thing,
-we wanted more of it.
-
-A Chemistry class in Qualitative Analysis has been organized. Each
-member of the class has his desk of apparatus and chemicals. Four hours
-work a week is required, with privilege to spend as much more time as
-the student may desire.
-
-The Reading-room is flourishing. The Societies have appropriated $50 to
-it. With this amount and with fees from other sources the committee
-propose to make it first-class in all respects. Through the courtesy of
-the State press most of our own papers are received in addition to a
-fine selection of magazines, dailies, &c. THE ARCHIVE desires to thank
-them, and still has thanks ready for the remainder of the profession on
-receipt of their papers.
-
-One of the Local Editors, while visiting at the Hundley House had one of
-his over-shoes carried off, supposed to have been done by boy or dog.
-Any person finding the same will please return it. It must have been
-hard to hide that shoe.
-
-The Concert by the ladies and gentlemen of Greensboro was postponed on
-account of inclement weather. We hope to have them come over this month.
-Every body look out for announcement. Be with us when they come, and
-enjoy a rare treat.
-
-Election for Chief Manager and Marshal took place in the Society Halls
-on Friday the 20th, resulting as follows: L. L. Burkhead was elected
-Chief Manager by the Columbian, and E. L. Moffitt, Chief Marshal by the
-Hesperian.
-
-We are glad to know that Mr. Callum, the groceryman of High Point, has
-decided to deliver goods in Trinity free of charge. Good for Mr. Callum
-and convenient for Trinity. Lookout for his ad. in next ARCHIVE.
-
- “To meet, to know, to love—and then to part
- Is the sad tale of many a human heart,”
-
-sighed a chorus of students when our fair Pennsylvania visitors took
-their leave last month. Knowing what joy you brought to our quiet little
-village, can you refuse to come again in the near future? Here’s THE
-ARCHIVE’S cordial invitation to our Commencement.
-
-The Hundley House boys say they are all glad to be together again under
-“Father’s” hospitable roof. His dry and witty remarks are an unfailing
-source of fun and merriment. He seems to enjoy hugely the German games
-in Prof. Armstrong’s room. “Father” answers the call of “Herein!” as
-promptly as the brassiest linguist in the house. Just persevere,
-“Father,” and you will soon be able to astonish the natives with your
-Dutch.
-
-$25,000 turned loose in Trinity every year by the students alone!
-Merchants, ponder over that and remember that THE ARCHIVE furnishes an
-excellent advertising medium. Let us, again, say to the students that it
-is to their interests to patronize those firms which are represented in
-our advertising columns.

-
-—That “Possum” is as sweet as ever on the girls, notwithstanding recent

-
-—That Dick “_Betts_” a certain freshman got left recently.
-
-—That one of our pious theologians was perfectly carried away with the
-“Scotch-ramble” at a Xmas party.
-
-—That “Ettiquette” was smitten anew during his sojourn at home. Wonder
-if they correspond?
-
-—That Miss — left just in the “_Nick_” o’ time for one of the boys.
-
-—That the third-story front, College building, is a long way from the
-Hundley House breakfast bell.
-
-—That Bro. H. thinks a speculative account is one on which a fellow
-makes a “_speck_.”
-
-Last term the Junior class received lectures from Prof. Armstrong on
-Poetics. The Bard of the class signed his examination paper in the
-following strain:
-
- “Upon examination day
- No aid received or given,
- As on this English exercise
- Two weary hours I’ve striven;
- And now I sing a weary strain,
- I neither laugh nor caper,
- The only damage I have done
- Is to deface this paper.”

-Princes in their infancy, childhood and youth, are said to discover

-The imputation of novelty is a terrible charge amongst those who judge
-of men’s heads as they do of their perukes, by the fashion, and can

-always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but
-because they are not already common.—_Locke._

-There never was any party, faction, sect, or cabal whatsoever, in which

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
