T h r ee weeks from today, the last day of the college year, will be given up to the graduating exercises in the morning and the society reunions in the evening. Formerly commence ment has been held on Wednesday and the society reunions on Monday night preceding. T h is made nec essary a long stay at the college for those who came back to attend both functions, which was not always convenient and often kept many away from one or both. T he com to remedy this mittee moved commencement one day earlier in the week, and as no one would feel able to attend these ex ercises after an all-night party it was thought best to place these on Tuesday evening. In this way vis iting alumni and others may attend both and spend only one day at the college. in seeking T he exercises of commencement PROF. VICTOR T. WILSON week are as follows: "Miller of Stanford ran according to form in the half mile, which he won in the fast time of 1:58 2-5, just a second slower than the record three years ago by Lightbody of Chicago. The race brought out a "dark horse" in Oviatt of Michigan Agricultural College, who took second, with Davis of Ames third. Oviatt proved a surprise at the start by leading the field of fourteen for more than halt the way. He had the pole at the start and blazed the way for the first half and a hundred yards in the final round, when Bonsib of Indiana took the lead, with Oviatt, Miller, Davis of Ames and Hanley of Illinois at his heels. Miller got in his good work in the last turn in the track and had the race won a hundred yards from the tape. He finished four yards ahead of Oviatt with Davis third. * ** * * BEATS DISTANCE STARS. " In a sensational finish, Carr of Michigan Agricultural, a thoroughbred " dark-horse," won the two mile run from a classy field of long distance stars with Waggoner of Ames, second and Maundrell of Stanford third. Carr's time was 9:56 1-5. "Maundrell was the foremost figure in the race for more than three-fourths of the way. He led for seven laps with a listless looking lot of long distance runners tagging after him. The last lap was superlatively eventful. Smith of Wisconsin drew up even with Maun drell at the start of the lap. " He started up the back stretch, with Drew of Wisconsin third and Carr and Waggoner in the rear. \t the'last turn Waggoner forged to the lead and seemed to have the race in his pocket, when Carr shot up from the bunch in a sensa tional burst of speed, passed Waggoner like a flash and won by four yards. Maundrell coming third and the Wis consin contenders out of it." then went in 1902 with l ie has had practical ex Professor Wilson was educated in the public schools of Philadelphia and at the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial A r ts and the Academy of Fine A r ts in the same from •city.

FACULTY LOSE TO SENIORS. T he five-inning game between the seniors and heads of depart ments of the faculty Saturday after noon, was a unique and interesting contest.

T he manner in which a change of eating was effected was this : A conference of educated cattlemen was called and a delegate elected to bribe the cookie. After due ref erences a clandestine meeting was held unbeknown to the officers and real ea'ables were purchased to be " handed out " to us twice a day. T he head cattle boss was fond of telling a tale in broad blarney of a college professor who, in order to effectively study the masses, shipped as a cattleman. On the second day out, so t h e. story runs, he offered the captain as high as $200 to be relieved of his duties.

Any-single finally, in Punishment is a vestige of the old spirit of war and revenge of unciv ilized people. Nemesis belongs to Greek mythology, not to modern theology and jurisprudence. Crime is a disease of society and should be the met by quarantine, much same manner as the criminal insane are dealt with at present. More over arc prophylactic measures than curative ones. more efficacious It might be objected here that our penal laws are a part of the good environment of present society, that is, punishment tends to hold a would- intended crime. be criminal from is not T h is is freely admitted, but sufficient to justify punishment. It used to be reasoned that punish ment is justifiable, if it had sufficient influence upon people to deter them from crime. But this is not a suffi cient reason for punishment. If it were the old forms of punishment for debts by imprisonment, pillory, or even bv death could be justified. It is obvious that some other ele ment than the effect on prevention of possible crime must enter to ex cuse punishment, and this element is, that the crime must deserve the punishment. X o w, it was shown that no crime deserves punishment, hut the criminal has cause of action against, society for allowing and perhaps enforcing him into contact with wicked to come conditions, and for not providing him with a good education and training. rather that in lasting schools the public It is this responsibility of society that I want to emphasize. Although life and training is more im home portant and more its effects than school influences, never theless, every effort should be made to implant in wholesome principles. It has long been an enigma to me that those in charge of the curriculium here can justify themselves for' not making greater efforts to prevent each grad uating class from leaving with the almost unanimously putative duty of getting as large a salary as they can and by any means that they can I cannot but consider it a devise. to allow so crime against society many to go out into business life with'no purpose beyond dollar wor ship, in short, with identical the business principles of Morgan, Rockefellow and other despicable financiers. •I pray that the present course in economics be preceded by a course in moral philosophy which shall be at least a five hour course for one term and which shall include the fundamental philosophical principles of ethics and a superficial survey of eight or ten of the most important theories of obligation. I believe the present course in ethics given to the women comes too early in school life and is too meager and too much of a travesty. Let us send out ideas graduates with broad ethical and with rigid principles, graduates who will not regard a man with rigid principles as a pedant or a fanatical monstrosity which sets itself up above ordinary men.
