COLLEGE MISCELLANY.
If reprehensible conduct, merits criticism and unfavorable
comment, then how much more is that which is good and
pleasing worthy of notice and praise ? Therefore it seems not
only suitable but just that the students should be made aware
.of the fact that their change of attitude during the present
year is very much appreciated, and, as the college year ad
vances, many expressions of gratification and commendation
are heard regarding their demeanor. If it is true that they
are responsible for the reckless conduct which has at times
characterized their actions, it is reasonable to suppose that
they have it in their power to control this spirit. Even though
annoyances which are the result of such rashness are charge
able to a comparative small proportion of the student body,
yet that body holds in its hands the matter of government,
and it is therefore not wholly blameless.
But whatever our past may have been, the spirit of the
present is indicative of a healthful and wholesome atmosphere
throughout the college, and it is creating abetter feeling, both
at home and abroad, and our surroundings are once more
becoming delightful to live in.

unyielding and, at times, almost hopeless battle against preju
dice. Through her good instruction and the incessant labors
of her friends she has succeeded in enlisting the interest of
several prominent Pennsylvania men who have come to her
aid in a generous and. substantial manner. The attitude of
her students this year is splendid evidence of their apprecia
tion of these' beneficences. By this attitude they are pledging
themselves to rally round their alma Mater, and thus to give
her a reputation of whibh in future years they may be justly
proud, and whose mention will cause their hearts to thrill
