The struggle for constitutional government, the development of the English empire and the corresponding spread of political ideals. the growth of industrialism, all these have left a deep impression on our national life and character. 94 THE ALFRED UNIVERSITY MONTHLY . difficult to define or describe the distinguishing elements of the American spirit. Such is the essence of the American spirit, $UCh are the elements of our peculiar national character which are our pride and glory.
34;America is not honored for its own sake, but for the sake of the world.
In this case the agent of the Devil was a Jew, as in the legends of the twelfth century. Johann Faust, the originator and master of the Black Art, very loud, How he sold himself to the Devil at one time. In the poetry of the continent, the best-known nations of the idea of Faust are found in the works of Calderon and Goethe.
34; the secret of the world, of man and man's true purpose, path and destiny." Much of his own life and experience undoubtedly found expression in this work; in Faust's unsatisfied aspiration, in Mephistopheles the unbelieving side of his nature, and in Margaret his belief in the saving influence of woman. At the end, Margaret is brought forward again as the means of saving Faust. The Devil of the Mysteries had passed his prime and was ready to gives way to the more modern-Servant of Lucifer-Mephistopheles.
After Marlow's Faust came Greene's Fryer Bacon and Fryer Bungay. This play is particularly interesting because it tells something about the life of English representative Faustus-Roger Bacon. Our interest in the fate of Fryer becomes subordinate to that of the love affair between Prince Ed Ward and Lord Lacy and the beautiful country girl Margaret. The idea of the witch includes the fundamental premise of the idea of Faust - the possibility of making a formal contract with the devil.
Really about a quarter of the people sing, and half of them don't know the main Alfred songs without the help of a book. Every chance you get, give a shout out for the school you love, or should love. If there is a section of the institution that needs support, let's see if we can't help, rather than trying to see how much of the city we can support.
Let's support our football team so they know it's not all about the money, and let's support our Glee Club. They are both advertising media for the school and they should be good media, but remember that it takes material and you are part of that material. Do you take advantage of the opportunity or do you let it pass and regret it in a few years ;>.
So let's decide at the beginning of this new year that we will help in all industries as much as we can. If you're a singer, go out and make someone work hard for your place in the glee club, if you're a football player, try out for the team if such a thing is possible, if you're a baseball player, play your best, and we're sure. Some may hesitate, some may be completely against it, others may ask for more time to think about the matter, but I am ready to act now and I must answer to my conscience for my action.

At the same time the matter could be kept under control so as not to lead to the dangerous and expensive excesses of today. The other considers it from the point of view of the game itself or from its immediate results. From the second point of view they develop the animal nature of man at the expense of the intellectual and spiritual.
Some of the visiting spanc; last year their faces showed the brutal and animal tendencies of their development. The moment the animal nature dominates the intellectual and spiritual, then man has sold his birthright and descended to the level of animals. A true conception of sportsmanship, beauty, fairness, the consideration of general over personal interests — these must be fused into our college athletics.
Careful observation of the local situation will convince any fair minded person of the truth and reasonableness of these statements. It must be seen that the only reasonable and adequate plan is a Regular Donation, equally by all. However, to summarize, the need to cry is a soul of Alfred, and the future depends on him helping or hindering, as the case may be.

If the faculty were ever to simply recommend a uniform student athletic endowment, it would follow that said plan would be voted on by the students or by the trustees or by both. Then the seed of a college spirit would be sown, which would sprout and grow, for people are bound to care what they pay for. Towards the first, that the reputation of the Institution may be maintained, and that the faith of its Founders may be fulfilled: towards the second, that the hope in which their sons and daughters have been sent may not be disappointed; towards the third, that the promise of youth may be perfected, and that the lives entrusted to loving and caring care may be developed to their fullest extent.
The faculty of the University thought it best that the direct performance of these duties should be taken over by a committee, without diminishing the responsibility of the whole body. We believe that this will establish closer contact between the faculty and students. The Social Committee should place itself in the position of friend and guardian to the pupils, fulfilling as far as possible the threefold trust already mentioned, so that all who are interested in Alfred's welfare may look with confidence to the future.
This goal must be achieved, not by coercion or repression, not by rigid rules or inelastic laws, but by cultivating a spirit of loyal cooperation, by forbearance and forbearance, by raising the standards of behavior and by preventing wrongdoing. a public disgrace. By seeing the bigger things first, by putting forward as a basis for understanding that student life is for the purpose of education, and that education is a preparation for the greater struggles of the world, that recreation is for recreation and not to recreate. are too tired, and that the hours of rest should be so utilized as to fit them for further toil. The students are invited to adhere to this and the result will be a community blended with happiness and love, realizing together all that is best and purest in IIe.

Professor Orlando Lewis of Maine University says in the North American Review that "self-support is one of the most prominent features of American college life." 34; It is also worth noting that the students who support themselves by doing outside work are among those who rank highest in their classwork. There is necessarily a limit to the amount of work a college student can do, but there is an endless variety of subjects on which he can devote his efforts with some compensation to himself." 34;It is also said by professor Lewis concluded that self-support in no way affects the social standing of students;—the student who energetically works his way through college has some definite advantages as he goes along.
It is the standard of morality among the men and especially the colleagues of today. Is it perhaps the lack of prevailing conservatism in the American people, or is it the spirit of the times. Men are not careless or indifferent as a rule, but they may need a little prompting to wake up to the situation.
To meet this growing problem, all religious denominations of the United States are uniting in a movement to establish courses in moral and religious training in American schools and colleges. An Association for Religious Education has been formed with the goal of "returning young American manhood to the ideals of our ancestors." The board of directors includes men like: The young men of our present universities are capable of reaching a high standard in every respect, just as the young men of fifty years ago were.
