Smart TUESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1916. light Editor-Harry N. Carey THE UNION CHRISTMAS TREE About this time of year the spirit of Christmas begins to find its way into the heart of the University. It steals in unnoticed, until a day or so before vacation, when we ake up to dliscover its presence. It is then that Christmas parties are held by fra- ternities, house clubs, campus so- cities, andlsectional clubs. Presents are exchanged of little real value ex- cept for the sentiment that goes with them, and friendships are cemented more firmly than is ordinarily possible in the college life of today. It is t this time that the Union has planned a big Christmas tree party for the whole University. To be sure the immediate object of the party is to turn the students into Goodfellows, and give the "kids" a good time, but when this is done it will serve to bring out the Christmas spirit among th stu dents themselves. The Christ- mas tree party at the Union this aft- ernoon wil be a final get-together for all students before the holidays. It will bring into effect more completely than the individual parties can the unifying spirit of. Christmas. SELF-RELIANCE If it were possible to select one quality to which mlight be attributed the success of the world's greatest men in every field of endeavor that one quality would probably be Self-re- liance. To this essential attribute may be credited the victories of Napoleon and Washington, the successes of Burke and Hamilton, the fortunes of the Rotbschilds and Carnegie, the scientific discoveries of Newton, Dal- ton, and Faraday and the marvelous surgical feats of the Mayo brothers. Self-reliance is of necessity accom- panied by ability, energy, knowledge, and honor, for its foundation rests on the discovery, by careful introspection and self-analysis, of the possession of those requisites by which are measur- ed the power of a man. Self-reliance, in men who are great in the true sense of the word, is absolutely free from bigotry. Even a superficial study of the lives of some of the world's most fan ous characters is suflicient to con- vince one that in thecir cases it was generously adulterated with faith in their fellow-men. In a larger sense all that is new and progressive is the result of Self- reliance. Every thought and action is influenced by this great magnetizing force. The boldest advances of scien- tific enterprise, the most utile inven- tions, the most raid strides of liter- ature and art owe their incipience and introduction to it. Self-reliance is the hope of the state, the nation, and the civilized world. The vigor and vitality of a people are affected by it. Health is a necessary asset for the realization of the ideals of a man inspired by this great actuating agent. Thrift is also a requisite for the full- est enjoyment of the material benefits derived from its possession.-The Mis- sissiplan.
