On investigation we verified this deduction, and thereby lies the whole explanation. One of the courses which the student took was European history, which begins with the Napoleonic wars. The latter shows only too clearly the effects of this study. Evidently the writer, who wants to develop “a callous conscience and a slumbering pity” drank deep of Napol eonic lore, and, like the youth who super-saturates hi* receptive mind with Nivk Carters untir he goes out "scooping” for hair-breadth escapades and adventures, was hypnotized by the Corsican’s "will to power,” if we be permitted to use Nietzsche’* phrase. Thi*, of course is only a theory but it looks plausible from the tenor df the letter. Napoleon desired military fame and international power, and human life was no obstacle worth noting. On the memorable retreat from ice-bound Russia, Napoleon ordered hi* favorite company to shoot down their own men-in-amts in order that they might escape across a bridge. So, too, the late correspondence student has ambi tions—ambitions to "get riches, no matter by what method; to secure fame, even at the cost of a million souls; to trample upon the faces of the poor and make the rich bow before him.” If we remember correctly Napolqon is accredited with saying something to that effect. Not only does this person with the ambition of the Corsican general show a knowledge of history, but also a knowledge of phil osophy. His ambition is purely Nletzschean—the Individualism of a tyrant, who is endowed with an exaggerated idea of the will-to power. Let us say to the writer—If he ever reads this-Mhat he is far behind the times. Really we don’t think you can get by, unless you seek other fields. The super-men of tomorrow will constitute the aristocracy of brains, and we know of no better place for brain-food tlmn the University. Also the tendency in the world of modem com merce is anti-Nietzschean to a great extent. Rockefeller realized this when he stated that he would iike to see capital and labor rconciled. Henry Ford got the same "hunch” when he instituted his noted profit-sharing system, and he certainly isn’t of the trample-in-the lust variety that the writer idealizes—at least not from the looks of his peace pilgrimage. If you mean what you say—but, really we think you’re "kid ling"—we have a scheme for you to follow. If you want to get rich, and are not particular about the method—why turn Jimmy Val ?ntine: if you tvant to secure fame, even at the cost of a million souls, ▼o to I'm-- '-ie and fight both sides; if you want to trample upon the faces of • v>or and make the righ how down—and worship you, we nfer w1 v to assume the role of a modem Peer Gynt. If you can Jo all of these things, your “lofty" ambitions will be realized. EVERYBODY OUT FOR GOLF SATl'Ris Golf Day, which does not mean a lot of hard work by anv me ns. On the other hand it means a lot of fun for the time being; and a lot more in the future. It also means a free lunch. The object of Golf Day is primarily to get the new golf links ready for use. The committee in charge of the work wants as many men as are free on Saturday morning. The more, the easier; and the greater the fun. The University women have agreed to prepare a huge luncheon to be served on the grounds to the workers only. They have prepared enough to feed a hundred men—and themselves. If the turn-out is great the work can be completed in two or three hours—maybe less. At noon this big luncheon will be served by the women and after the remnants have been cleared away some of the expert golfers of the campus will instruct the parvenus how to hit the ball without busting the club, and instruct in the difference between a stymie and niblick—and a host of other things that such men ys’ President Wilson^and ex-President Taft like to talk about a 0 few minutes every day°after they have settled with international dif ficulties, and teaching law° The big 0problem is to get the men out. The women will be there with the lunch. Will the men be there with hoes, rakes, pitch forks and shovels? We recommend that every organization—fraternities and dor mitory—hold themselves responsible for a reasonable number of men. Surely the effort is worth the reward, which is a golf course near at hand and for the use of all students. f ' CAMPUS NOTES- *1 Tbs Fortnightly dob will (It* a dance Friday evening in the armory for tb* benefit of the wtan’i building.
