Death overtakes every man sooner or later, it is the one thing in life that we are all sure of and the one thing we all dread. Why? We do not know, other than that the desire to exist is the great fundamental desire within us. Fortunately, to exist we go through life and during the greater part of the time keep our minds off the approaching end of our corporal existence, and busy ourselves with building up heaps that we like to think of as being permanent things. It is only when a fellow being, with whom we arc intimately associated, is overtaken and stricken down, that we pause and consider seriously the end that awaits us all. At such times we are dreadfully disturbed; the fate of the fallen ones hangs over our minds like a dense cloud; we mourn for them and comfort those who miss them most; cold chills shake our bodies as we realize that we, also, must face such an end, and we cry in despera tion, “Why must it be so?” Are we not a foolish people at best? Why should we grieve that a fellow being has finished his life? Why weep that his trials and tribulations have ceased; that he has at last found that peace and quiet which knows no end; that he has returned to the arms of the All Wise God? Were it not better that wre rejoice? Life at best is a constant struggle to obtain that happiness no one has ever been able to find. Vast empires have been built up and destroyed by men in search of it, but death has always caught them in the end tired, weak, sick,— as far from the goal of happi ness as when they started. What should be more comforting than to know that a loved one had fin ished this earthly fight, and a good fight it always is, for every man struggles with life as best he can, and had reached that hunt from which no traveler ever returns, the permanent home prepared for us by the Almighty God? Man is a foolish being! Effort is beiiijjr made by the alumni of the two institutions to bring the Oregon Agricultural College and the University of Oregon into friendly re lationship again. From conversation heard on the campus, it is safe to say that the students of the University are favorable to a readjustment, but they feel that the overtures should be made by the Agricultural College, in view of the fact that it was that col lege that took the action which sev ered the relations. SAUK OF rODUNK The favorite by-word of our mil lionaire's daughters seem to be “Lordy, Lordy!” • * Many people claim they can't tell a lie, but they profess to be a good judge of one. • * Our Varsity young ladies claim that they can rise to any occasion, the question of the young man with seri ous intentions is, “Can they rise to get breakfast at 7 A.
