T he  semi-final  number  in  the  Col

the 
on  "  B a c k b o n e"  delivered 
last  by

Thomas  Dixon,  Jr.,  a  tall, 
long-

and  at  the  same  time  a  man  of  pow 
erful,  well-modulated  "voice  ( w h en

and  accuracy  of  enunciation,  just  a 
little  artificiality  in  pose  and  bearing, 
originality  and  attractiveness  of  ex 
pression,  and  an  encouraging  degree 
of  earnestness  of  purpose. 

T he  lecture  was  a  good  one,  as

Dixon  that  he  did  show  a  commend 
able  proportion  of  solid  thought  and 
serious  purpose. 
I  am  beginning  to 
think  that  when  we  go  to  get  up  a 
lecture  course  next  year  we  should 
not  go  to  the  lecture  bureaus  at  all 
to  get  lecturers.  All  the  lectures  of 
all  the  lecture bureaus  are  made  after 
one  recipe—take  three  rather  com 
monplace  ideas,  dissolve  with  stories 
and  jokes  apt  and 
the 
ideas  cannot  be  distinguished,  beat 
with  gestures  and  grimmaces

telling  him  what  we  wanted  and

T he  societies  will  soon  be  engaged 
in  the  selection  of  orators  for the 
contest  of  next  year. 
It  may not  be 
considered  intrusive, since  we are  all 
concerned  in the final  result,  to  offer 
just  now  a few  observations  on the 
subject  of  speakers  and  speaking. 
It  is a  matter  of  course—a  principle 
which,  we believe,  has been  in  late 
years almost universally  acted  upon— 
that  the society  owes  it  to  the  Col 
lege  public  to  select  its  best  man, 
regardless  of  friendship  or  rank  in 
the  society  itself.  Perhaps  it is not 
so  generally  acknowledged  that, as 
close  association 
frequently  warps 
the judgment,  it might  be  well  some 
times  to  consult  well-informed  out 
siders,  at least  as a  basis  for  further 
investigation,  in  the  choice  of  the 
best  man.  M ay we  hope  that  this 
remark  will  be charitably  judged  as 
made  in the interest  of  the  common 
good,  and  not  from  any  desire  to 
meddle  or intrude  on domain  where 
we  have  no claim  nor any  desire  to 
assert  a claim?  T he choice  made by 
a  society,  we are  well  aware,  while 
to  an  outsider  not  appearing  wise, 
may  be dictated  by  good  and  suffi 
cient  reasons.  T he best  man  may 
not  be  available,  or  the  outsider 
may  be mistaken  in his  judgment  as 
to  who  is  the  best  man.  As,  how 
ever,  the  opinion  of  the  outsider 
compels  to  nothing  and  prejudices 
nothing,  it  would  seem  not  unwise 
to  have  whatever  help  it  may be 
able  to  give. 

lend 

After  the  choice  of  a  speaker  is 
made,  it  remains  for  him to  choose 
a  subject  on  which  to  speak.  On

fortunate  that  the  tendency  in our

by  the kind  of  matter  that  has won

toward  subjects 
themselves  readily  to  ex 
that 
aggeration,  frothy  declamation, and 
verbal  pyrotechnics.  To be specific, 
the  subjects  almost  uniformly  chosen

just  a  little  higher  order  than  that 
of  the Japanese  juggler  of  the cir 
cus,  or the negro  clog-dancer  of the 
minstrel  show. 

It  does  worse  things  still  to  both 
performer  and audience.  T he  eulo 
gist  at the very  start  puts  himself  in 
an  uncritical  attitude  of  mind.  He 
spurs  his imagination  to strange and 
uncouth  vaults.  He has  chosen  his 
subject  for  the  purpose  of  display 
and  display  he  must  have  at  any 
cost.  Earth,  air,  and sky are labor 
iously  explored  for striking  imagery. 
All  regard  for  proportion  is  lost 
sight  of  and truth  itself  is  forgotten 
in  the  one effort  to  say  something 
large  and  startling.  N ot  only  so, 
but  nothing  in the realm  of  thought 
and  sentiment  is  sacred  from  the 
''vaulting 
that  o'erleaps 
itself." 
It  has  gone  so  far  that an 
elaborate  parallel  between  the  hero 
and  God himself,  extending  even  to 
the  sufferings  and  death  of  the 
Savior  of  mankind,  has not  merely 
passed  unrebuked,  but  has  been 
crowned  with  the laurel  of  victory.

thus  becomes, 

truth  and  solidity  of 

like 
the  mediaeval  rhetoric,  a  mere  seek 
ing  after  meretricious  effect,  and 
loses  all  serious  value  and  dignity. 
T he  colleges,  which  should  stand 
thought, 
for 
clearness,  directness,  and  energy  of 
expression,  and dignity  and  natural 
ness of  bearing,  thus  become  schools 
where  the ideal  is that  of  the  lecture 
contortionist,  where  the 
platform 
clothing  of  thought  has  become the 
end  of 
fantastic 
thought,  where 
insincere  emotion  are 
ideas  and 
deliberately  propagated.  We not 
only  break  all  the  commandments 
ourselves  but we teach  others  to do 
so.  W h at  shall  be  the  place  of 
orators  of  this  kind  in  the  realm  of 
actual  life  to  which  they  will  soon 
come? 

W h en  the  representative  of  the 
society,  therefore,  has  been  chosen, 
let  him  sit  down  and  ask  himself, 
not  " W h at  can  I  win  o n ?" not

H O W A RD  E D W A R D S. 

To  T HE  E D I T O R: 

Lewis  R.  Fisk  was acting  presi 

from 

dent 
i860  to  1863.  He  was 
a  man  of  pleasant  address,  genial 
and  generally  liked  by the  students. 
His  position  was  a  hard  one as is 
always  the  case  with  a  man  w ho is 
a  pro  tem. 

In  1863 he  left  the  College  and 
afterwards  took  up work  at  Albion 
College,  a  Methodist 
institution, 
where  he  spent  many  years.  His 
connection  with  M.  A.  C.  never 
impressed  itself  upon  the  College, 
largely  because  of  his  uncertain 
tenure  therein. 

Nevertheless  the  students  of  his 
time  always  held  him in due  respect 
and  as a  member  of  the  faculty,  he 
was  a  factor  in the early  life  of the 
College.

the  address  innocently  remarked  "I 
wonder  how many  miles  that is." 

D r.  Miles  was  professor  of  zool 
ogy  and  physiology.  His  lectures 
were  interesting  and  he  impressed 
the  students  with  his  earnestness. 
He  seemed 
interested  in 
intensely 
his  subject.  He  was  sociable  and 
enjoyed  talking  with  the students in 
his  classes. 

Darwin's  writings  on  the  origin 
of  species  were  comparatively  new 
in  those  days  and  were  much  dis 
cussed  pro and con in  the  doctor's 
classes.  T he doctor  had  seemingly 
mastered  the subject  as  far  as  then 
known  and  his  talks  were  original 
and  keen  in  their  scientific  analysis. 
Darwin's  theories  were  not  popular 
with  the  press  or the  public,  which 
made  Doctor  Miles'  talks  more 
valuable  to the students,  because  his 
mind  ran  along 
lines  of  scientific 
research. 

Rotation  of  labor  became  a  fad 
with  the  faculty  and  students, and 
especially  the  latter,  in  1864.  To 
milk  the  cows  was  a  duty  which 
principally 
before 
among  the classes  below  the  seniors. 
T he  faculty  was  importuned  by  the 
students  to put  the  seniors  into  the 
mill  of  rotation.  T he  edict  went 
forth  and the  seniors  were  doomed

ever,  put  their  own 
interpretation 
upon  the  labor  rules  of  the  College 
and  concluded  Sunday  was  a  day  of 
rest,  so  the  cows  were  not  milked  as 
usual.  Late'  on  the  Sunday  morn

as  they  might  have  been.

While  Dr.  Miles  may  not  have 
always  been  practical  as a  farmer,  he 
certainly  was  an  earnest  scientist. 
In  natural  history  he  seemed  to  be 
inspired  with  a  love  of  nature  and 
to  his classes  he  imparted  the  spirit 
of  his  enthusiasm,  which  made  his 
work  all  the  more  valuable  to  the 
students.  T he  writer  does  not  re 
call  meeting  the doctor  since  leaving 
College,  yet  the  impressions  above 
described  are  vivid  in  the  memory 
of  one  of  his  pupils.
