ed next Friday. Those who will

next year are:

We wish you a happy summer
and a successful recuperation.
We also hope that you will be
back next year with a dollar for
The Megaphone.
news standpoint and from a
financial standpoint a failure, we
believe the student body would
be justified in putting The Mega-
phone in the list of failures. In
other words, if The Megaphone
can not stand alone and bear its
own burdens, it has no right to
exist. And this year it has done
this. We have paid all of our
bills and have a small surplus on
hand. This success has come,
first, through the loyalty of our
business men and, second, through
the loyalty of the student body.
We now wish to thank the mer-
chants who have advertised so
constantly and generously in our
columns and we hope, that they
at least in a measure feel that
they have been repaid for the
money they have spent with us.
But for their support The Mega-
phone would be an utter impos-
sibility. If you, the students of
the University, have made it a
rule to do your purchasing with
our advertisers, we feel sure they
will feel amply repaid. If you
have not purchased from our ad-
vertisers as far as it has been pos-
sible;--you have not been true to
your Students' Association nor to
its publication.
Next let us thank our subscrib-
ers who have so cheerfully paid
in to us the subscription price,
and we hope that they each and
every one fee^ that they have re-
ceived one sound American dol-
I lar's worth for the dollar they
have as per agreement paid us.
To you who have subscribed
and who after constant appeals
have not yet paid us the dollar
which you owe us and which you
are honor bound to pay us we
we can wish you no better for-
tune than that by some good luck
you may be permitted to escape
the humility of looking out from
behind iron bars. You are lay-
ing a most uncertain foundation
on which to build character and
one that is apt to crumble be-
neath you in your hour of great-
est need. We hope that it does
not, but we are fearful, oh! so
fearful lest it does.
The Management,

Bus. Manager.
THE MEGAPHONE STAFF
IS GIVEN DINNER.
The Manager Shows His Appre-
ciation of the Staff's Work
And Now Farewell Forever.
With this, the thirty-fourth
number of Volume VII of The
Megaphone, we, the present man-
agement, complete our labors in
newspaper work for this year and
complete forever our work on
The Megaphone. The work has
been pleasant, although at times
the prospects were indeed very
gloomy. But now in looking
back over the year's work the
bright spots are the ones that
stand out most prominent. ^
The editorials and news arti-
cles published, have, we believe
measures up in quite a large
measure to the desires of the stu-
dent body. But it is not of this
that we wish to speak just now.
Had The Megaphone been a suc-
cess only from an editorial and
The Value of the Study of Liter-
ature by an Ancient Scholar
in Politics.
Should any one reproach me, or
be angry with me, if I allow my-
self as much time for the study of
literature as some spend in cele-
brating holidays, or in long ban-
quets, or in playing at dice, or
ball? I am not ashamed of the
study, for it refreshes me after
the noise and bad language of the
forum; it supplies me with mate-
rial for my daily speeches and
conversations and instills in me
principles of the greatest value.
For unless I had persuaded my-
self from my youth upward, both
by the precepts of many teachers
and much reading, that there is
nothing iri life to be greatly de-
sired except a good character and
a good reputation, and that, while
in purpsing these, all tortures of
the body, all dangers of banish-
ment and death, are to be consid-
ered of small importance, I should

publications have been more suc-
cessfully conducted the past year
than for any year in their his-
tory. Recognizing this fact and
that the last issue of the Mega-
phone, the weekly publication,
will appear this afternoon, Mr.
B. Hall, of Georgetown, the effi-
cient business manager, gave a 6
o'clock dinner at the Commercial
Hotel the other evening which
proved to be a very enjoyable >if>
faij*. Mr. Ilall in this way ex-
pressed his appreciation for the
co-operation of the young men
and women of Southwestern who
assisted in making the Mega-
phone a literary and financial
success. The Commercial takes
great pleasure in adding a deserv-
ed tribute to the management in
that it has established a record
the past year that will be hard*to
equal in the future. Mr. Hall's
guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Lee J.
Rountree, Misses Katherine
Brown, Elizabeth Matthews, Vera
Barrett, Pauline Wright, Beulah
Talley, Nettie Reynolds, and Eliz-
abeth Matchett; Messrs. R. B.
Woods, John Spruce, Hugh S
Carter, W. D; Blair, Frank D.
Nelms and E. Curtis Vinson.
Mr. Vinson is now on the staff
of the Austin Statesman and was
succeeded as editor-in-chief of the
Megaphone by Mr. R. B. Woods.
Mr. Vinson came, up from Austin
to attend the dinner, which prov-
ed to be one of the most pleasant
events of the college year now
coming to a close. The young
men and women who have assist-
ed in making history for our pub-
lications and Southwestern repre-
sent the best families of the great
State of Texas and it is a genuine
pleasure to know them arid at the
close of their work here we wish
them God-apood in tho great and
useful dream of future life.

have exposed • myself, in defense
of your safety, to these arduous
contests and daily attacks of
wickecl men.
Antiquity is full of these teach-
ings; but they would all lie bur-
ied in darkness, if the light of lit-
erature and learning were not ap-
plied to them. How many im-
ages of great pien, carefully elab-
orated, have both the Greek and
Latin writers bequeathed to us,
not merely for us to look at and
gaze upon, but also for our im-
itation. And I, always keeping
them before my eyes as examples
for my own conduct, have endeav-
ored to model my mind and views
by continually thinking of these
excellent men. — Extracts from
"Pro Archia" by Marcus Tulius
Cicero, freely translated.
The Annex has been transform-
ed ! The porch, although it has
never seemed bare, now seems so
cosy and altogether hospitable
that on comparison to its former
state it must have been bare. The
massive, rich-looking porch fur-
niture, the palms, ferns and hang-
ing baskets are a few of the in-
novations. The second floor
porch • is also furnished with
swings, rockers, and settees. The
court has been made yet more
brilliant than before by rows of
lights from porch to trees. As
one of the girls, who intends to
stay for summer school, expresses
it, "It looks as good as summer
at the seashore or in the moun-
tains. ''
