IOWA CITY, IO\\TA, ATURDAY, FEBh.UARY 19, 18 7. NO. 18

MR. LoWELL says: "The founders of Harvard college had three objects in view: First, the teachil)g of the humani­ties and of Hebrew; second, the traininlt uf a learned as w~]) as a godly c1p,rgy; and thirdly, the education of th(l Inuians.', How does modern Harvard carry Ollt these devout ideaH?

CO)\('URRDW reports are beginning to com iu. Tabor ollege has no pRper of its own, buthas two or three columns et apart for its atrairs in the loral paper. In the lat st i ue IV filld th i 'from one of the dAlegates of Tabor to the recent , tate Contest:

"On arriving at Des Moines, we were not met by the committee which had promised to meet lI8. Concluding the lateness of the' train was the reason, we found our way out to Drake University alone. On arriving at University Place, a casual observer would not have 8US­

pected that the students of Drake were expecting such distinguished vi itors as ourselves. In fact we began to think tbe place deserted; no lights, no students were to be seen, but after stumbling about in by ways, we met a man to whom we introduced ollrselves, and found that he ~as an unfortl{natc 01 0

serking for headquarter. He informed us that he wa from Iowa. ollege.

In the hall of the main building we fOllnd a Drake student who apologiz d very pI'ofu8rly that we were not met at the depot, and offi red to take us up into the society hall. \\,hel'e, be informed UB,

it would be plea ant to wait until the banquet sllould take pIa e, and that other delegates had already gathered there. When we intimated that we hau been traveling all day and would like an opportunity to I'efl'e b oUTsell'es, ho took us ov r to tho ,tudent's llome, whel'e we met a Ii w tudent and gota peep into the 1I0me, which struck us as anything bnt homelike. We were II her­ed into a six-by-nine room, and told we might" lick ours~lves up." A. fellow who appeared to be the regular occupant of the room was just putting on the ~nishing touches of said operalion, He welcomed us kindly and sat down, while we took possession of the wRRhstand."

WE have peru8ed with considerable interest the acconnt of the State Contest, published In the Delphic, of Drake Uni­versity. Oflir. Zorbaugh, it 8ays:-"ln thought, his oration would rank low, the m'Ost of it, what little there was, being familiar to every 8Chool-boy. The plan or scheme of the ol'Jtion was well laid, and the style of rhetoric is exceptionally tine. Hi8 delivery was natural and grace-' ful, but his voicel is weak and effeminate, though di8tinct. ~here were not lIWly who would have given hirh firSt bonon, but the judl(6ll were alm08t unanimoU8 in their choice."

We differ from Drake with regard to this oration only in respect to the "plan or scheme," and the "style of rhetoric." With some little exception, we I\gree witb ' the writer in hi\! estimate of Mr. Hunt' effort: '''Though havin!: 1\ dif­ficulty to overcoml:' in openin~ tbe pro­gram, Mr. Hunt immedil\tely won tbe attention of the audience and held it to the close. He hn a beautiful style of dictiOn, a clear, pll'asing voice, and 0.

grare aud ease of manner that was u9t equalled «tI,ring the entire evening. Mr. Hunt would have be n given second 1l0no1'8 by a very large number, and not a few 'would have marked him fir t"

With regard to our own orator, we find this: "R. C. Craven, of the State Univer­ver ity, had cbOllen for hiB oration the novel title, ''The Soul's Hermitage." Though the au:!ience Willi much wearied by the I ngth of the l'rograro, he was Ii tened to with rapt attention until the close. It had been ~neral1y tbought that Mr. Craven would receive first honors, but in this his friend were dis­appointed. Ris oration possess d grand thought clothed in strong, vigorous lan­guage. IIe appeared the most confident and self-po essed of any speaker of the fwefipg .• He maqe but few gefltllres, and the few ho did u were awkward. In other re pect his delivery was good."

Th part of the report pertaining to the 'arm')) difficulty is amusing, Thi i tbe summing up: "All in all it was on of the mo t conglomerated jumbl sever present d to a d Iiberative body. The whole malt r originated in society preju­dice and was earried out in lhl' till more prejndiced hearts of it defenders. After a long endeavor to explain to thl:' con­vention the cause of the qual'rel a.nd minly attempting to make black appear white, Tror t,) stand for truth, and in to hine a virtue, a motion wa made to exclude both delegation ffom a l'at in the convention. This was strongly fl\\lore.1 by everal of the colleges but lacked the necessary vote b cany tbo motion." Thi was aJost strongly favored by Drake University. It was the scheme of th delegates from this chool to knock out both delegations from Cornell, for in case this was done, the orator of Drake niversity, who stood next on thought and style, would haye appear­ed on the program as one of the speak­ers in the evening. Most true it was that this cheme "lacked the necessary vote to carry the motion," a motion made by one uelegate of Drake and seconded by the other, and voted against by every college in the association, we believe, ex­cept Drake. Everybody laugbed wh/ln the motion was lDade. After the evidence on botb sides of the Cornell dispute had been heard, the tight in the cue was ql,lite clear, and DJake's abortive ~mpt to get ' her oratla .. the p~ was conaideNllt., ....... e of lb ... ludieroa. ....

whole meeting. There were conte ting delegations also from Lenox College. Drake took the 10 ing Side, too, irl this c . The writer of the arli·1 we are noticing intimates that the Leuox ras was not fairly pre nt tl to the credential committee, and ays that the 10 .. of the motion made to reject lhe l'epol·t of th eommittee in thi ifl ~lam'e shwt'od the <1ifficuILy of carrying even a JURt claim ill a parked convention. We shall not cn\'Y Drake the COn olation of a "J 3rkecl con­vention." We trust the sore is not ~reat­Iy irritating, and that thi will pl'ove a plaster snfficiently healing. But Drake i grieved deep into heart that her orator failed to appear as one of the "eight." 'fhe edit{)r of the Delphic dwelJa at some len@th on this. Thinks their man ought to have got on. Says that one cranky ' judge can entirely control tbe result of the deci ion. The ~lphio boldly sub· mits the oration to the judgment of a candid world, . saying: "We give Mr. Ka'I'r's oration in thi8 issue, the trong merits of which may be seen by every reader; but they would appear all the more plainly if a comparison were made with a number of those delivered at the tate Conte t." We have read the ora­

tion, and agroe "ith the- Ddph'c ao far \1S

to ay that certain parlJ! of it are excel­lent. But one of the "strong merits" of the oration is that in some parts, the ideas and even phraseology bear a. strik­ing resemblance to otue portions of the "'ritings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, and we ugg t thl\t po ibly thi similarity wa noticed by one or two "cranky judges." We bope the euitor of Drake's paper, and tile man who seconded tbe motion to exclude both delegations fl'om Cornell, will read this oration again, having in his hand a popular edition of Emerson'sE ay8, among which especial­ly the one on History.

We are glad that while at Des ~loines we behaved becomingly in Drakes eyes: "The delegates and visitors conducted themselves in an orderly, ~ignified man­ner, for which they will long be re­membered by the people of Drake Uni­versity."

In this same number of the Delphic, the editor complains that the street car company has not extended, ita line to Drake Univel'8ity. Says thi8 oug~t to have been done last fall, and that as soon as spring opena, the people of University Place should rise as one man and demand that it be done. Seems to tri ve the fain,t­eltt hint that 'if it is not done, a railroad ~ will be built out to Drake. We trust · how that the street car company will bump itself, and that before some Drake delegates run off to another State contest, "pack" the convention, Ket a location all ~ut and dried, and then run oft' home .. ill before the final session, a st~eet _ Une runlliDc cars with green and )'eRow llghta, will be coDltructed square up to the door olDrate University.

When the train pulled into the depot, the band played "The Conquering Hero Comes." He was placed in a cut­ter, to which was attached long ropes, and the hero of the occasion was drawn to the city by an immense delegation ot' student and citizen, preceded by the band and followed by a torch-light pro­cession.

The order:1t tlie Erodelphian society last 'aturday night WIUI very far from good. Miss 'ox gave a very appropriate reproof at the close of these ion, which ought to be sufficient to in lire against a repetition of any such an occurrence agam. Hi ing and "cat-calls" are mo t IISSlIredly ont of place at a literary so­ci~ty, and it would seem that all who attend such performances ougn t to be fully con cious of this lact, and sufficient­ly conrteol1s to the performers to restrain from all appearance of rudeness or dis­re p ct. Aside from this, their own self-

respect ought to be sufficient to prevent anything iIImannered or ungentlemanly. The di order at times sU!lgested a politi­cal caucus rather than a literary society.

At the next meettng of the ora­toricl R88ociation. a committee ought to be appointed to revise the constitntion. As the time is fixed for bolding the state and inter-state contests, our con- . titution silould per cribe the time for

hol<ling the home contest. ec.2nd. of Art. IX., prescribes that "the judges and referee shall not i 0 any way be con­nected with the institution." Thi8 pro­vision is too comprehensive. It i8 IE­

sumed, whether rightly ornot we do not care to discu 8, that profe sors in the academical department might not be de­sirable judges, owing to unconscious prejudices for or against some contest­ant resulting from clR88-room relations. If tbis be granted, it can not apply to profe sors in the otber departments, aod by including them in tld restriction, we unnecessarily deprive ourselves of 80me of the best material for judgeR that the city affords. I ec. 4, of tht. same article, prescribes that thcjuuge sball mark on thought, composition and delivery "after the delioery oj the ol'ation." 'ee. 5 pre­scribes that opies of the oration shall b handed to the judges "at least three days before the conte t, \\' ho shall read them before theirdelil'ery." This i~ the only provision in aoy way referring to markings before the final contest. There is nothing Raid about the selection of the "six," or any reference wbatever to a preliminary contest. There are also oth~r respec~ in which the constitution ought to be amenped, and a cgmJDHtee should be appointe? for this purpose.

Jaeob composed himself the poem he recited, and it is but modest commendation to say that the thing was very well done. G. W· Newton is more of a wit than we had supposed. He gave an account of the ancient m mbers of the Pine Rid~ Lyceum. The debate was as to wbether "tbe injun or nijrger bas suBered the mo t r'.)nll."

1. The hi tory of thought is a network or speculation. yetems of philo pby are but xpanded and ~eneralizcd idea . They have IIhaken th foundation of th social fabric only when their eternal principle hay been in discord with the general COil ciOllsness of mao.

W of tho pte cnt day ~Iancing round exclaim, "What have 1 to do with Uti fantllBLO of nature, thi mirage of an ex­t rnal world 1" The artie inquiry came to the wandering Hilldoo, thirty- ix oonturi ago. Plung d illto profollnd revery, he contemplate nature' mighty forces with admiration and awe. In the symmetry and beanty he saw only the myateriou. naided by revelation, his mental y b held no othcr caueative agency, she had in herself the sou l of the world. His mind, thus thrown in upon its If, from thought:o thought, lit length evolves tbat vast ~ystem of Va­daic pallth ism, having for its eternal essence the startling pr(: po ilion tha~ th "univ r is God!" Creation is but a fig­ment, emanation is " fact. AU things are evolved by the external motiou of the Infinite. Picture, if you will, the vision-Yonder in tbe silent depths of e1ppty pace, re ling \I n the eternal bosom of time, I the infiuite God.

The thought comes to him of extend­ing hi sub tance 1111.0 worlds, and wit~ the spontaneous expre ion of his will and desire, . tbey spring- into exi lence, moving, changing, develolJiog, all in har­mony with the divine though : then lIS

cycles of time swept into eternity, cea&­inr, vani hingi ",ben the flolV of divin thought pan es)!, ing away'like a myth or th vague phantom 'or a d~e!lm, leav­ing not a ve tige behind as the eternal lapses into unthinking repa .

"God mu t be self-eltistent," reasons tbe Hindoo seer, "for to conceive being as incipient is impossible." othing can be produced from nothing, whence, therefore, was being produced? From itself? No! for tben it mll t have been already in exi8tenct\' in order to produce itself, otherwise it wo6Jd havtl been pro­duced from nothing. Not only aelf-ex­istent, but he must be eternal and om­nipot nt, emhr8cing all plans, de igns and in pi rations wbich have occurr d,or ever will originate in this entire uni­\·erse. Right here is the paradox of pa,,­theism. How can a silent, all pr vading, univereal force, eliminate attributCII which contradict its own ub tance 1 b monstrous a conception is that of a nni­verse without a governing mind, so di­rectly and implicitly to the conscious­nefJ8 of man do the harmonies of nature s-:.'em to indicate a designjng, governing, personal intelligence, that the pantbeiat of neceesity must clothe nature with the attributes denied the deity, substitute an animated machine for the inventor, and personify a hannony and ullity wbich is but ~Jl abstraction, and on bia

Scorning with contempt the simple truths of religion-whOle very sweetness is proof that they were born for immortality- they parade their heart-withering negations, whiob touch no sympathy, stimulate no play intellect, and under whose deadly chill, imagina­tion cannot breathe; a theory with noth­ing about it ~rofound, subtle or relinedi an arid, barren, cold and dreamy hy­pothesis. Life is a bubble, which Boats for a brief hour on the heaving bosom of nature, then sinks into the abyss. The universe, a dream or a vast and eternally revolving machine, without mind or beart, without end or aim. Man quive/8 for a moment on the wheel of fate, and then sinks into tbe vortex of all creating, all devouring law. Yet throu/{hout all science, this insidious pantheism con­stantiy reappears. It is the same weird and fanciful melodv with ever recurring variations. It adds nothing to knowl­edge, all is delusion and confusion wbere <'everything is everything, and every­thing else is everything, and everythibl is everything else." It is the dreary waste through whicb scholastic heathea­ism wanders, in a vain search for the springs of the water of liCe; an unlimited ocean of restlessness and change, the waves of which heave and moan unefer the influence of necess~ty, . beneath the mocking winds of fate, a"d in the dark­ness of eternity forevermore.
