the hig-hest honor the people could bestow upon him. I hate
to hear persons talk in a pessimistic strain to the effeect that
the day of opportunity in this country has g-one by, and that
the chances for a young- man to rise by his own efforts have
passed away. It is not true. There is room at the top, and
there always will be.”
We regret to announce that cadet A. F, Dahme of the
Senior Class has been called home to the death bed of his
father. The members of the Senior Cl iss extend their heart
felt sympathy to the bereaved family and their beloved class
mate. It is earnestly hoped that Cadet Dahme will soon be
able to return to College.
Boys, the editors of the Battalion want to call your at
tention to the start that has been made toward getting out
an Annual for this session. J. W. Maxwell has been chosen
editor-in-chief and C. O. Moser business manager. Judging
from the work these men have done in this line before, we
feel assured in sa3ung we are going to have an Annual
worthy of the College. However, the editors alone cannot
make the Annual. To a great extent its success depends on
the students. This publication is for the entire corps; for
the Freshman as well as the Senior, and we ask you to give
it your support An outline of what the editors expect the
Annual to contain will be found elsewhere in the Battalion.
