Excerpt from The Mirage, Vol. 7 Juniors, and'the preparation of a class-day play by the Seniors. It is in accordance with the former of these customs that the present Junior class issues the current volume of the mirage. It has been the aim of the editors to show college life, to point out the relations of the students to each other, to the University, and to the faculty; and to make plain the faults and merits of the institution as viewed by the student body. The editors have not considered themselves a self-appointed board of correction, whose duty it is to supervise the general administration of the University. Neither have they thought it advisable to ignore those things which the students, generally, consider as detrimental to their best interests. The editors hold that it is the purpose of an annual to bring about a better understanding between the students on the one side and the faculty, trustees and alumni on the other; and to this end they have directed their efforts. Many events of importance to the University mark the period that has intervened since the publication of the '96 mirage. Dr. John, whose merit as a man and scholar is recognized, not only in the University, but throughout this and adjoining states, has seen fit to resign the presidency, and has entered the lecture field. Sorry as the students are to lose the services of Dr. John, yet it is with, if possible, even greater respect and confidence that they turn to his successor, Dr. Gobin. His mild but firm discipline, his enthusiasm in student affairs, his belief in honor, which placed a student's wordabove circumstantial proof, coupled with his strong administration of the University's affairs, have won the love and confidence of every loyal student. Under Dr. Gobin's administration there has been the most complete union of faculty and students that has been seen in the University in a decade. Knowing, as the students do, that they have the confidence of their president and teachers, they have borne in quiet the irksome rules which a Board of Trustees has imposed upon society and social events at De Pauw; rules well fitted to a graded school, but scarcely applicable to men and women with years and ability sufficient to give them a place as thinkers in the ranks of high er education. We regret that these rules, once banished to the realm of the obsolete, along with the Sunday-afternoon lecture and the text book recitation, have been disinterred, and, with the addition of others still more ancient, again thrust upon us.

Excerpt from Gillette's Social Redemption Are there no slaves to-day? While we sit here at play, Have we no brothers in adversity? None sorry nor oppressed, who without hope or rest Must toil and have no pleasure in their toil? These are your slaves and mine. Where is the right divine Of idlers to encumber God's good soil? There is no man alive, however he may strive, Allowed to own the work of his own hands. Landlords and water lords at all the roads and fords, Taking their toll, imposing their commands. Bliss Carman. Grimly the same spirit looks into the law of Property, and accuses menofdriving a trade in the great boundless Providence whichhad given the air, the water, and the land to men to use and not to fence in and monopolise. - ("The Times.") I cannot occupy the bleakest crag of the White Hills or the Allegheny Range, but some man or corporation steps up to me to show me that it is his. - ("The Conservative.") Touch any wood, or field, or house lot on your peril; but you may come and work in ours for us, and we will give you a piece of bread. - ("The Conservative.") Of course, whilst another man has no land, my title to mine, your title to yours, is at once vitiated. - ("Man the Reformer.") Ralph Waldo Emerson. "What are you reading, son?" asked a Roman merchant one day. "A description from one of the Sybilline books," he replied. "It is there foretold that an invasion from the North will come upon our empire, when it becomes corrupt, and some say it is so now." "Drop it, my son, drop it," said the old gentleman, hastily. "These people are always foreseeing something, generally unpleasant. Why, we are getting richer and richer, and our boundaries are extending in every direction. Every day I meet a king or two at dinner." "But there are barbarians, are there not?" "Oh, yes, a few million or so, who shake to see the sunshine on our Roman eagles." The son closed the book with a troubled expression. "Suppose they should - " he murmured. And they did. - "An Optimist" in The Denver Catholic.

Excerpt from Essays on Social Subjects: From the Saturday Review Ence between man and man in points not easily got at, than how they conduct such a private matter as keeping a journal. The practice itself is simple enough, but the purposes for which it is undertaken, and the mode in which it is carried out, show the odd contrasts - the entire variance in aim and view - that may exist under much outward conformity. Something that must be done daily, and that a task of no absolute necessity, even if it occupy three or at most five minutes of every day, is a burden on time and method which we suspect the majority of men are not equal to. Everybody at some time of his life begins a journal; but because it exacts a certain punctuality, and because the trouble promises no immediate return, and because, too, people get tired of the seeming monotony of life - and the mere bare events of most lives have a way of looking very monotonous when written down - it is, we believe.

Excerpt from Social Chaos and the Way Out I think no one will deny that the question which eclipses all others at the present moment, the one which is daily becoming more serious in its demands upon our attention, is the deplorable condition of England. This book, which is a record of many years of thought and study, is an attempt to throw a new light upon our social chaos, and to offer a possible solution. Though conscious of the fact that as a book it could be greatly improved, I am convinced that the case which I have tried to make out is unassailable. The work by which I gain my livelihood was imperative; this book has been written entirely in my spare time, in the way that ants do things, by tireless and regular additions. Therefore I trust the reader will make due allowance for the numerous shortcomings of which I am all too aware. I confess that I am a complete novice with the pen, and I lay no claim to be considered in the least literary; for, with the exception of a few articles on natural history, I have never yet appeared in print. I despise the so-called litterateur; a merely literary man is, to me, an idler, an entertainer, a trifler with the most unimportant details; who ignores the highest aim of literature. The importance of an author's message to the world is the only thing that really matters. Matter is everything; manner is the veriest detail. I would rather be the rustic who speaks the truth in uncouth language, than the poet or lady of title who writes untruth, drivel, or copy-book philosophy in the most scholarly language. "Only get the thought, and do not silence the peasant because he cannot speak good grammar," says the old art-jargonist, Ruskin. Truth is of interest to the manly man; it is his poetry. The pursuit of truth is difficult, and often repellent, therefore few know or care much about it: with untruth it is not so. I do not write to please my readers; I write because I feel I have something very definite to say, something of interest to everyone who can read, but pleasurable only to those few who love truth - no matter how unpleasant it may be - before everything else. So I advise the reader if he dislikes ugly truth to put the book down at once and pick up a Browning, a Milton, a Dante, or a Mrs Hemans, as he chooses.

Excerpt from Social Thought in American Fiction: 1910-1917 I. Extent of social thought in fiction. II. Types of social fiction dealing with various social problems: - 1.The problem of general social unrest. 2. Labor problems. 3. Socialization of the modern church. 4. Immigration and Americanization. 5. Criminology and liquor problems. 6. Socialization of the newspaper and other problems. III. The value of social thought in fiction. Social thought has always been present in fiction to a certain extent, but not until recent years has it held a definite place. During the last few decades there has been developing a social consciousness which has led an ever increasing number of people to become interested in the social conditions surrounding them, and in the consequent social problems. This interest is naturally reflected in the books which are written to attract their attention. In almost all eases, this tendency results merely in the insertion, here and there, of a paragraph concerning some problem of social import.

It'is here and in the home that its knowledge should be inculcated and its maxims made operative, lsince, if acquired young, the cost is immaterial, and it will always last and be habitual. The good manners of any person are an inspiration to all those with whom he comes in contact. They are to the eye what the eloquence of Speech is to the ear. Subdued by their charm, he who is ordinarily careless and rude becomes, for the time being, courteous and refined; for manners are learned by example.

Every man dreams of a utopia in which disease is conquered and the only thing left to die of is old age. In a study of the history and concepts of medicine, René Dubos, who is one of America’s most distinguished scientists, shows that such a utopia is neither possible nor desirable. Organized species such as ants have established a satisfactory equilibrium with their environment and suffer no great waves of disease or changes in their social structure. But man is essentially dynamic, his way of life constantly in flux from century to century. He experiments with synthetic products and changes his diet; he builds cities that breed rats and infection; he builds automobiles and factories which pollute the air; and he constructs radioactive bombs. As life becomes more comfortable and technology more complicated, new factors introduce new dangers; the ingredients for utopia are the agents of new disease. Dr. Dubois’ thesis may sound discouraging to a world looking for a cure-all in medical research, but actually it is affirmative—even hopeful. Once we accept the fact that “complete freedom from disease and from struggle is almost incompatible with the process of living,” we will know that our aspirations cannot be satisfied with health and the easy life. “The viewpoint expressed in Mirage of Health has now become a dominant one in our general culture and encompasses much of current concern with improving lifestyles related to health and promoting greater health consciousness among the public. In this sense, the discussion, although written twenty-five years ago, is perhaps more relevant today than it was then.”—DAVID MECHANIC, University Professor, René Dubos Professor of Behavioral Sciences, and Director of the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research, Rutgers University
