of any student guilty of dishonesty. The 
 duty, voluntarily assumed, has been faithfully 
 executed. Violations of the examination 
 pledge have been extremely rare; but in every 
 instance the culprit has withdrawn from the 
 University without need of faculty action. 
 The spirit of truth and honor fostered in the 
 examination room pervades every phase of 
 student life.

 THE HONOR SYSTEM 
 
 SPIRIT of devotion to work, a love of fair play, and a 
 high sense of personal honor characterize in an unusual 
 degree the students of Transylvania University. To 
 them belongs the distinction of introducing into Kentucky the 
 Honor System in examinations. Several years ago, in mass 
 weeting, they expressed their willingness to relieve the Faculty 
 of responsibility for serveillance in examinations and for discipline

TRUE ELOQUENCE 
 BP eloquence, indeed, does 
 
 not consist in speech. It can- 
 
 not be brought from far. Labor 
 
 and learning may toil for it, but they 
 will toil in vain. 
 
 Words and phases may be mar- 
 
 shaled in every way, but they cannot 
 
 compass it. It must exist in the man,

 in the subject, and in the occasion. 
 Affected passion, intense expression, 
 the pomp of declamation, all may as- 
 spire after it, but cannot reach it. It 
 comes, if it comes at all, like the out- 
 breaking of a fountain from the earth, 
 or the bursting forth of volcanic fires, 
 with spontaneous, original, native force. 
 
“We may live without poetry, music and art; 
 
 We may live without conscience, and live 
 without heart; 
 
 We may live without friends; we may live 
 without books; 
 
 But civilized man cannct live without cooks.

 He may live without love,—what is passion 
 but pining? 
 
 But where is the man that can live without 
 
 dining?” 
 
 “Now blessings light on him that first 
 invented this same sleep! It covers a man 
 all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak.

 chases all the pleasures of the world, cheap, 
 and the balance that sets the king and the 
 
 shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even.”

 “Hardly more characteristic of the 
 Athenian was the agora, or the forum of 
 the Roman, than is county court day char- 
 acteristic of the Kentuckian. In the open 
 square around the court house of the 
 county seat he has had the center of his 
 public social life, the arena of his passions 
 and amusements, the rallyiag point of 
 
“You will not find elsewhere in America such highways 
 as the Kentuckian has constructed over his country—broad, 
 smooth, level, white, glistening turnpikes of macadamized 
 
 limestone.”
