Alumni Notes For several years, now, particular emphasis has been laid upon colleg iate work in Peru Normal. We are g lad t o note thp.t the tendency is becoming very noticeable to ward doing degree work after graduation. Th1s year's gradua te class ranks high in number; we hope in quality also. It is also interesting to observe that, while the undergraduate classes have been larger in the past, perhaps, the g reat increase of attendance among the juniors a nd seniors more than makes up for this present deficiency in the lower classes. Again, we notice, as before, the added stress put upon work of col legiate rank at Peru. We even dare to dream that Peru Normal may become a Peru Teachers' College at no very distant day.

[Brother Smith did not get an opportunity to blue pencil this notice but the staff thot it prudent to give due notice of the f acts to students and public generally.]

THE PACIFIST. It is useless to ''Cry peace! peace! when there is no peace," without sacrific~ of principles, and desertion of responsibility. There has been a deluge of shallow sentimenta li ty and muddled thinking concerning peace. The g reat need of the world today is f or justice rather than peace. Given justice and peace will f ollow as day follows the risi ng sun, but justice does not necessarily follow peace. Peace may imply the triumph of the oppressor and death of the helpless victim. Seventy of the greatest thinkers and divines of the U. S. in a recent warning, declared that · peace in the present world war on I the basis of the statu s quo, would ~

a fellow t hru, Government a in' t goin' t o answer, God'll send the bi ll straight to you."- Lowell. A young man of this school, about eighteen years of age, fired at t hree times by a cattle thief, could not br ing himself t o shoot his assa ilant . The boy can pick a half-dollar with a Colt about as far away as he can see it. " Thou shalt not kill " kept the boy 's finger off the trigger . Recent ly, the ultimatum has been g iven ~to this young man by his parents. In case of war. he must either volunteer or be disowned. Something like, " He t hat loveth father or mot her more than Me is not worthy of Me, ' ' from The Book has caused the boy t o write a refusa l to his parents and resolve in his heart, t hat if God give him streng th , he will suffer punishment from the government in the event of conscription ra ther than contr ibute to the murder of fe llow-humans, to the da mnation of his soul as he conceives it. Is he a coward ? "It also requires some bravery to stay out of the bandwagon and r estra in t he impu lse to yell for something you don't beli eve in." - Nebraska State Journa l. At the time the Aztec was sunk, I believed t hat a declaration of war agai nst Germany wo uld be a grave blunder.

Such a mass, over a ·mile th ick, carved and scraped the surface over which it passed in its early course. As it advanced over eastern Nebraska it slowly melted back, scatterin~ the load of clay, sand and bowlders which it had plundered from th~ lands north of us. Most of the large bowlders have long since decayed, except th.ose of quar tz ite such as the large glacial bowlder on our campus. The cyclon ic winds, blowing over the g lacial debris, (which had been sorted somewhat by the wor·k of glacial streams (picked up the fine material, or "rock flour" and carried it far and wide, to deposit it in uneven depths over eastern and centra l Nebraska. Nearly all our clay banks in Peru are of this wind-laid loess. Peru has been a much favored spot.

The Audubon Club of the local school and the nature study class of the Normal, enco uraged by Mr. MeCommons, manager of the Crys tal Theatre, brot to Per u a fine set of films represe nting b ird life. The 1 largest crowd eve r in atte ndance at this theatre brot in o ve r $40 in re- I ceipts, ticke ts selling at fi ve and ten cents each. This marks th e e mphatic approval of the g ood m ovie by our students and m e m b e rs o f our I faculty.
