Ube 1Loohout VOL. XVIII. APR! L, 1913. No.7. A Junior week has been planned which, if satisfactorily carried out will prove successful. The prime object of this mid-term occasion, this clustering around Memorial Day of the various social events of the spring season, is to afford a pleasant week of entertainment to the young men who having visitors naturally desire to present the college when it is at its greatest social height. Nature at this tin1c is most attractive with her blossoms ancl rrturnin?· crcatt1res, and the customary beauty of Storrs becomes even more delicious as balm­ laden June steals over the hills. ·visitors cannot but feel a new life as the cool, bracing atmosphere contrasts with the svveltering ait of the city. No sounds of th metropolis are heard, but the troubled tumult frotn a rollicking dormitory must to newcomers at fir st be startling, althong·h in perfect keeping ,.vith the fre clom and joyousnes of the surrounding campus. Social activity con1bined with natural beauty means a wider knowledge and deeper appreciation of the college. Contrary to expectation, the military battalion does not go into camp this spring. The object of the camp is to acquaint the cadets with the conditions and dispositions familiar to the regular army camp. Lieutenant Goodwin found it impossible to obtain regulation army tents without incurring heavy expense. The circus tents, the college standbys, might, to be sure, be used, but the military arrange­ ment into streets and squads of eight men to a tent would be marle impossible. Moreover the possibility of a stormy week like the camp week of last year cooled the ardor of all concerned. Although the idea of camping in the open has heen abandoned, still the selected week from a military standpoint will not be a dead loss. The time wi ll he devoted to military exe rci ~ e s at the college. 148 TI-IE LOOKOUT Q)liver <Bolbsmitf1 One writing a sketch of Oliver Goldsmith might almost use as a caption the title of a recent novel, The Beloved Vagabond. How much so ever he may have been a trial to his family and to his friends, those very qualities that met with and deserved their disapproval, -his impulsiveness, his lack of financial responsibility, his utter want of any regulative sense of order in his life,-endears him to his reader. More than most writers he makes them understand the fine simplicity of his character, his absolute sincerity, and his fidelity to truth. But in its conduct his life would hardly present a model even to his most beloved reader. Yet his writings, his sentiments, his feel­ ings, his fidelity to details, go straight to the heart. If he has no conscious philosophy of life, he at least presents life or one side of it with a kindly humor that brings a smile to the lips of him who reads even to-day the reflections, the pictures, the adventures, and the ex­ periences of Goldsmith.
