FULTON, COLUMBIAN LITERARY SOCIETY. Scarcely any subject has caused more. dissatisfaction and complaint among the. students, yet it would be hard to find. a ‘matter that fewer attempts. have been made to reform. The method, or rather lack of method,.of caring for the finances of the Students’ Organization and the’ various departments under its control-— Athletics, Tun Srecuzum, etc., would speedily bankrupt any firm that attempted to do business in that way. Yet we have © gone on year after year voting taxes and paying subscriptions into a treasury that, it is often- stated, does. not retura. In paid bills more than 50.or 75 per cent. of the. money paid into it: Fortunately affairs are not as bad as that, and in justice, it must be said that the honesty of the ma- jority of our officers can not be doubted, Yet, for the silencing of such reports as: the above, as well as for the. prevention. of the improper use of entrusted: moneys: by those who, might be dishonest, we: sheuld have some system by which every officer could be held strictly accountable. for all. moneys. which pass. through his hands. This is a matter of importance not only: to the students, but to the faculty, for every year. large amounts are..raised: for part of which comes. some assurance that their money has been used for the purpose intended—an assur- ance. they never have under the present system, To secure a sound | and safe method e&. caring for the money of the Students’ Organization would not ke at alla diffi. ‘cult task if a sufficient number. of students.

Phere is no seed. of having each ‘officer, who has the spending of «money collect and take charge of all the funds he can get for his particular use. Why should ihe bath-house steward or the base ball manager collect and have charge of money designed for his use when, if he gets behind, the Students’ Organization must make up the balance? He knows that he ig not responsible for: the whole _ of his obligations, and that fact makes hist cardless.. The treasurer of the Stu- dents’ Organization should: have the ealt lectzoni and disbursement of ali- moneys for things directly in-charge of the organ- 4qzatien, and he being the only ove re- sponsible for these funds must-be held strictly aecountable for them. : . As itis now the chief opportunity for the misuse of money. is in connection with athletics. The base ball manager, foot- ball manager, and others, collect all they can for their particular use by subscription, and iff most cases those wh6 subscribe know nothing beett expended. if the students ‘ated fac- ulty could be assured that: their money had been spent for the purpose intended, and had wet gone for thitigs’ that could in wo way bereft athietics,-they: would’ be mack more willing: te to Spel that: hey are few... : “THE SencuLum is. sanottien ifipebtant | protege of the Students” Organization; It is siipposed.to pay for itselfy-arrd ‘rarely fails to do so, but nevertheless its funds . should be as strictly logked:after as those of anything else..-“At. present there is ab- sdlutely uothing known of its expenditures, and-noe way of finding cart.

In order to obtain a clear view as t the time when these two forces were de veloped and gained. prominence, let. u: cousider the history of European civiliza tion as divided into three great periods First, that of origin and formation ‘cen tinuing from the fifth to the. twelftl century; second, experimental from the twelfth to the. sixteenth ; and third, ths period of development from the sixteentt century to the present day. The experi mental period is the one. that ‘especialls concerns us at this time. _Guizot in speak ing of this epoch says’..“it was.a perio when monarchy, nobility, clergy; citizens ali the elements of social order, seemec to turn round in the same circle, incapa, ble alike of progression and of rest. Humanity seemed to be at a loss to know Everything was aimléss anc without apparent direction or control Mea ran wildly about and tried wall sorts of schemes to reach an end, the nature of which none knew.

The one ofa moral and the other of! a social nature. As regards the moral ‘cause, it may be defined as the cuimina- tion of the great struggle between. Chris- tianity .and _Mohammedanism.. | These two religious. systems had been..at® wat ever since the seventh century. . Success wavered ‘and was really with neither side. -The Christians had control of the ‘king: dom ° of Jerusalem, i in Asia, . while the THE sPECULOUM. - Mobammedans had that of Granada, in ‘Spain. Thus far the main seat of warfare had been in Lurope, butit was transferred to ‘Asia by the crusades. : Let us now briefly consider their social cause. ‘Before the fifth century the peo- ple of Europe were much inclined to im- migration. - They constantly moved from place to place, and ied a wandering and ‘roving life. Between the fifth and elev- enth centuries we notice a great change in the social condition of Europe. The feudal system made everything iocal and confined men within narrow limits. Men were fenced in, and so were their opinions. This was against their inherited nature, arid they were filled with a desire to once more roam over the surface of Eurape. Just at this opportune moment came Peter, the Hermit, with his crusade idea. [A at once the masses broke down the barriers of feudalism and confinement, and tushed wildly through the plains of ‘Europe, over the Alps, and into death and destruction. | "These two causes ceased to exist at the énd ‘of the thirteenth century. The matn- spring thus broken, the crusades grad- | ually passed from activity into history. Their effects, however, remained as a lasting monument to their existence, and judging by these, we may consider them | a grand undertaking. -The first peculiarity of the crusades 3 is. that the wliole of. Europe moved;. and Hot only this, but all classes of society. .in the various nations joined hands to carry on the work. . “Up. to" this time Burepe did not exist.as a unity. ‘It was frag- mentary; and each part acted like ad ingi- vidual merchant in a strictly competitive market. cause for commons action. - was Europedn-.in nature, national — - Sharacter, classical in-sentiment, and ‘in: ‘The? movement was | for the supremacy of.

Mapie Essence. The chemical department has been searching maple syrup for the peculiar essence which gives the characteristic oder and taste which distinguish maple from cane and beet sugar. The material is found to be a yeilowish oil in fresh maple syrup, becoming a waxy solid in maple sugar, and probably in maple syrup after being exposed to air. ‘This maple ether soon changes by exposure to air. When first prepared it has a most agreeable odor, and reminds one very strongly of the odor of fresh -maple syrup, ‘The fact that it rapidly deterio- ~ yates by exposure to the air is a satisfac- _. tory, explanation why maple syrup mast be, kept from the air in tight cans or jars to preserve the rich maple taste. Syrup deprived of this ether is found to have neatly the odor and taste of cane sugar. ' Society Reports. _..The.first monthly meeting of the Nat- wral.
