reached; and then it was found that the advertis ing had been entirely neglected, and the only one who kneW of the club's coining was the manager of the theatre. Had it not been for this the trip would have been in every way a grand success. We have the material here, plenty of it in both vocal and instrumental music, and if we have no stars it is also true, that it is not necessary to have them to produce good music. Proper training and good judgment on the part of the leader will make up for the absence of phenomenal musi cians. The orchestra we have had for several years back will show that. The plain fact of the case is that the students are in a state of apathy from which it will take hard work to arouse them. Occasionally some one will mention the subject; but some one else will laugh at it, and the matter will pass on and be forgotten. What is wanted is a strong, ener getic, enthusiastic man that is not afraid of hard work, who will take the lead and get the move ment well started. It will then be an easy matter, for the club will be carried along by its own momentum. It is true that an effort was made last year to form a glee club. An organization was actually effected, and several meetings were held ; but the club sank back exhausted by the tremendous effort, and all that was accomplished was the insertion of the names of its members in the La Vie.

SHALL AMERICA BE FOREIGNIZED, OR FOREIGNERS AMERICANIZED/ When these United States achieved their inde pendence, their population was almost wholly of Anglo-Saxon blood, the best and bluest blood of all nations. But no sooner had this country be come "the Land of the Free", than a tide of im migration set in toward it from other and less favored lands, and this tide has steadily been in creasing in volume with each succeeding decade, until it has now reached abnormal if not indeed alarming proportions. While our nation was struggling in its infancy, our vast resources and undeveloped territory, the equality of man, and the charm of our free insti tutions, all combined to bring to our shores, men who rendered this country services which all true Americans duly prize.' But with the advent of the nineteenth century civilization a great change has taken.place in the character of our foreign ele- IN MEMORIAM. JOSIAH. JACKSON, Died October loth, 1893. /ABRAM D.
