the following editorial remarks made

'The University of Virginia has
played an outstanding role in the
molding of thought and the creation
of leaders in the southern states.
With its new endowment the university will sweep to increasing heights
of power and influence. The income
lf
from the fund is to be divided,
for the creation of fellowships
and scholarships, and the other half
for general educational purposes.
"The University of Virginia shares
and world- with other
famous institutions of learning an
enviable position. The American col
lege is intrusted with the sacred duty
of preserving the knowledge of ages
and passing it down through generation after generation, together with

Inmodern thought and knowledge.
stitutions that have stood the test of
time are the true exemplars of American educaional methods and philoso
phies. Their trust is sacred, and the
administration of this trust is no easy
task."
It is the expressed belief of the
Post that the anonymous donor of
the fund "has made a splendid contribution to the welfare of the country by strengthening the University
of Virginia." That view is shared by
everyone who is cogriizant of tihe
magnificent service that has been rendered at Charlottesville by Virginia's
splendid ufniversity for 'many generations.

PROGRESS
With a $1,225,000 construction program under way the University
takes a new step toward progress and toward serving the people of
the State.
It is a brave undertaking. With no available funds for
the construction of two of the buildings, the University has undertaken
to build them on the amortization plan, that is to pay rent at such a
rate that at the end of 20 years the two buildings will be paid for.
Aside from this, the University will undertake to build a library

institution.
Certainly, it is a pretentious program and also a rather splendid
one.
Each year the University has welcomed more students to the
campus, and with the continued growth of the student body it has

problem has been solved, but one of a more theoretical nature remains
tto be mastered.
It relates primarily to the student and is, briefly,
how much freedom shall be allowed, both in the choice of subjects and
in expression.
It is a problem that the University must become
increasingly aware of in the years to come.

FEBRUARY SHADOWS
Nothing is more
Painfully beautiful
To me

Than the afternoon sun
Casting long shadows
Down a hillside in winter.

AUTUMN
Autumn is a maiden lady
In a gorgeous dress
Waiting for the winter
Who is old and bent as she.
What has caused the romance
Is more than I can guess,
But all the winds are gossiping
And whispered it to me.
Pinions of dreams
Like artists' brushes
Stroke my canvas memory.
What are the myriad colors?
They are the silver of sunshine,
The mellow of moonbeams,
And colors of sunsets
Fused into my picture.

Though we traverse in minutes the country crossed in days by
Revolutionary troops; though we point out corruption in our national
politics which seems staggering; though older heads philosophically
prove its theory wrong, and younger ones seem to drag it into disrepute; every American citizen joins, on the Fourth of July, in celebrating and expressing the Spirit of Amerca.
The determination and
courage of those few colonists who built this country, who gave to it
the Declaration of Independence, and who infused into it a spirit,
epitomized on this day, makes every ctizen realize that he it, fundamentally, an American.
The territority of this country has increased many times since the
Declaration of Independence was written; the population ha3 increased
proportionately; and, keeping step with these people throughout their
advancement, has been the Spirit '76, the spirit of America. Washington sent a note of encouragement to his troops when the Declaration of Independence was announced, and a few people in the thirteen
colonies rejoiced.
On this day a hundred million people will pause to
observe the spirit which those heroic, those true Americans placed in
the vault of immortality.
Throughout the development of our country, this is the one thing
which has remained constant.
The agricultural age, the pioneering
age, the age of development, and the commercial age, all of them
have had their influence in America, and the three of them known to
our fathers have passed away; yet the Spirit of Fourth of July is unchanged. Everyone who has or does claim the Star and Stripes as
his flag will be on this day a partaker of that heritage handed down
by the leaders of the Revolution.
And this Spirit of the Fourth of July has been constant, too, in
its expression in the development and progress of America. One notices in the history of this country the constant bettering of country
and man. Cold blooded observers may list instances of relapse, and
cynics cite divirgent attitudes, but that type of idealization and practicality Americanism which strives always forward, is there; it has
woven an unmistakable thread through the story of our country's
progress.
Cease complaining or being cynical about Amerca's
and enter into the Spirit of the Fourth of July, you who are solicitous
for your country's best interests.

"Every student who carries a diploma through the front door
of an American college is commissioned to serve with zeal and intelligence in the war to preserve America," writes Meredith Nicholson
in the July issue of College Humor.
Mr. Nicholson says a great deal more in his article attempting
to arouse college students to something else other than athletics and
their daily routine of work and play. He writes, for instance, "that
there is much muttering to the effect that American education is a

nation a zealous interest in the quite important affairs of self government."

"Yes, Algernon, to be sure, but don't you think you might help to
