T H E M ISS ION OF A G ~E AT LIFE.
Human Life. in ;ill itr,; length and depth ;incl breadth. is one. Like a vast ocean. it throws itself a,5ainst the shores of -111 ti rne and sends up its wa tcrs to fill and feed and refresh the heart of ever) man. The waters upon "hich the ships sail up to the quay of Livf'q)(1ol to-clay are the same that washed the sho res o f England in the tim~ of Ju lius C~sar. The waves which sob and murmur bet,vccn the dangerou:,; rocks of Jaffa to -cfo.y arc the same that h e ld in th e ir arms the cra ft:-; that brought the cedars fro m 1,cbanon which Solomon used in the lrnilding of Lli1_; Tc-111ple. Th e life that throbs in the hear ts of the fourteen hundred millions of people who live on earth tn-day i:-; Ll1c same life that throbbed in human h ear t~ when l~am e'-C'S I.I oppre. sed the children of Israel, and when Shir--hak, the King of l•,gypt , captured Jeru--alcm in the ti me of Rehoboa m. The s hore -lines h;:i ,·e ,han.~ ed: here the sea has mad e inroads upon the land. and there the lan<l has taken the p lace of the .-ea; but it is the same unresting, inC'xhau tible. briny deep that. through all the ages, rolls round and round the \\·orld. l ndivi<lual:-; have appeared ;-i.nd passed .\way: new opinions ha\'e
come t take the place of old ones; new hearts respond to the e,·e r-m<n·ing tide where th e r hearts beat before: but it is the same mysterious, unfathomab le life that has lifted itself up to create and complete self-con. cionsness in all the individuals who have toiled :1ncl feared and hop ed and liv ed and died o n earth. The red urrent that A \\ eel fro111 the he;i_ rt of God into the ,·eins of man created in His image in the 1norning of the world, has increased and exte nd ed itself over the ~lobe and h,1.s c,1. pacity to wide n itself to the utmost bound. of time. The sam atoms of OX) gen and th e same atom .. of nitrogen haYe been kee ping co mpan y from the beginning of man's appeara nce on eart h , that th ey mi~ht fe ed and kee p ablaze the .flarn e of li fe. Tlte same sub tl e so mething which scientists call etht r, that surrou nds and penetrate:· all wo rlds and Ells up the ,·a ant space. which see m to lie between all constelbtions. has been utili z cl from th e tim e of .\darn to the pr -sent to transport the rays of the s un o,·t r ninety-fi,·e rnillions of mil es to li ght th e path w;-iy and build the forest and produ ce the food for the rhilclrt'n of Goel. The lightning that draws our Cclrs and lights our street and cooks our food is the same Eli ·ha saw playin g about the cloud that arose to put to co nfu sio n th e proph et. of Baal on the heigh ts of Carmel. There is no new ocean, no new atmo._ph cre, no new ether, no new lightninfY, no new physical life. lt is the same atmos phere feeding the breath, distrib utin g the sounds. and insuring the health of the peopl e of all r;-ices and tim s. 1t is the sarnc et her
e1rn rapping the stars and connecting the systems and mediating the right of the universe in all the centuries.
1t is the same elcctri ·ity, subtle. weird, wild. that now hides in the .:1ir like a harmles invisible ghost. and then like a fiend writes its name in letters of fire across the bosom of the clouds.
It is a rnarvelou. evidence of God's economv that lie has used only one life to support and furnish and ~
omplete the countl ess personalities which have appeared upon its surface to learn their names, to recognize th eir acco untability, to play their part and then t o pa ss into the un een.
The illu s tra tion that compares a human being to the wa ve o f th e sea , how eve r, must not be carried toc, far. A n individual is like a wn ve in the respect that he is a n e xpress ion of th e great underlying sea of life. hut he is to ta ll y unlike a wave of the sea in the respect th a t in ri sing up he g ets o rga nized and indi,·idua tcd, and e mpo we red with self-consciousness and se lf-de tc nnin a tion. A wave o f the sea comes up from the genera l fu nd o f \Y a t e r and :--inks back a it came up, un color ·cl and in a rticulate. But a human being appc;1rs lik e a wa,·c nn th e sea of life and finds himself me t and held and po:-sessed by a spirit which claim;-; him and m a rks him and puts the stamp of p rsn nality upo n him, and breath es the power and irn 1n c nsity of personality within him: then it i: that he b eco m es conscio us that h e is distinct and separate fro m th e gener al fund of life. Ile is then no long r harnessed in th e tra es of physical force s. along with the cl;i.mps and the winds. It is true he still find: himself hou:--ed in a mansion of p erishing clements h eld by the laws of grnvit,· and rising and falling with
the changing te mperature; l>ut with the dawn of selfconsciousness he sees breaking aroun d him th e light of n. nC'w day and lying before him th e s hores of a new ,,·oriel. H e has passed from the realm of matte r ponde rabl e and m ea s urabl e and quan ta tive to th e realm of spirit impond e rabl e, imm e,1 s urabl e • and qualitati ve. 1-l e is no longe r a d1ilcl of tim e: he is a c iti ze n of c ternit,·. The wa le rs o f th e g rea t. heavin g, human s a still rise around his heart : but back into their liquid arm s th ey can no more J ull and clisint g ra te a nd ca tt ·r his self-de te rmining soul. In tead of be in g s ubj ect to th e s ub -co nscio us b il lows of life and so loose ly put togeth er that th ey arc able, easily, to pull him apa rt. he find · th e bi ll m,·s arc subject to him nn cl that ove r th e ir a ng ry head s and through their s urg in g folds he can ride o n h is triumph a nt \\'a y . Life lifts him up. but docs no t p sscs. him as th e . ea po scsses th e wa ,·c; he possc:-;ses it. He can use it to rid e a gain s t the break e rs or to lJ a r him lo .-o m c fri e ndl y shore. S o th e life whi h rises within hi111 t ( l make possibl e th e di scove ry of hi s pe rso na l spi rit. he can use in buildin g a sa int or in furn ish ing and e<]uip pino·: a future of unutterabl e mise ry . t ran ge th at from th e sa m e life one man s hould si p the e li x ir tli a t eternally cheers the soul and that anoth r s houl d dri n k th e gall that embitte rs it foreve r. R eason does not e xpress all of life. No truth is was ted; but its usefuln ess must re ma in in abey an until it has been a pplied to life. Ian cannot be nouris hed thro ugh hi s inte ll ec t alon e. His fee lings must be a ro used - his sympathies,

H e mu!'-t he shown. not a math Gmatical cJiagram, but a pic ture with all the warmth an<l ce>lor of life. H e must see human figures , !war their vrnccs, and witncs:;; their joys and griefs. His h ea rt must b eat in response to theirs, he must feel their pre. ence and :-.hare th eir emotions. He must kn o w th eir nam es, faces and habits, and enter into their exist ence as his own. The man who . does no t yield t o the h a lluci nation and the passions of his contemporaries. must ever appear. to th em, th e one misguided a nd d epraved individual; but time r eve rses the unju st verdict and puts the bla m e wh er e it belongs. The con trast in the differ ent uses men have made uf life is infinite. :\J oses used it to tread the lonely and .- ublim e h eights wh re th e f111itcspirit rHers into corrc'-po ndc nce with the infinite. David used it to C()!l\·C' rt int() song ;i.nd praye r and pr;i.isc. ;-i.nd. though weight ·cl \\'ith th care. of state. h e cl e \·otcd enough nf life to silent m editation to enabl e him to \\'ri t<' the literature that has b ee n the support of the :,;pint in its attemp ts to rise to Gl>d e,·er since. ls;,,ia h used it to look acros<. the ce nturies to the time when the kno,\ ledge of th e L ord should con.•r the earth as the waters cuv r th e sea. Soc r;itcs used it to call uff th e attention of the youth of At hens from th e d e ·e itful and so rdid wan, of life to the li o no rahl e and se r n maj esty of int el lectu al rn a nh oocl . Al e xander The Great used it as so much furious f orcc with \\"hich to c,1 rry clc vast,1,tion and d espair to the p eo pl es of the world.
Charles Dick ·ns us ·cl up his life in the formation nf stori .• that awakenecl anew in the world a ~e nse ( I f l,inship and brotherhood a m, ng- m en . George Pc.:ibody co1H"crtcd his life into the accumulation nf money that he might use it to widen th horizon of thought and increase the nobility of spirit among the youth of coming tim es. So various)) h,n· e men used the gift of life. ·orning to one man only once. l>ringing opportunities to share in his spirit o nly once, it would seem that c,·e r y man would have mad e the most of it: th,H he would h;'Jve :-;0L1nded its tran sluce nt d epths in orde r that lie might bring to the furni hing of his personality a ll that it Im.cl to give: but this is not the case. A hasty glance over the history o f th e race is ufficient to show us that more men have used life as a clecoction from which to distill bitt rncs. tlrn.n have used it :-ts an c--. sence from which to drnw ho pe and p eace. Like immortal ship .. the spirits of great 11wn sail th ocean nf tim e . bearing th e tr asures ;111d the archiv es of the ci,·i li7-ations which gave them hirth. ,\ nation is unfortunate beyond expression that k1.s no son "ith genius wide and univ e rs;i l e nough to cm hod y a.nd com·ey to the future her history. \Vh atc,·cr may be her wealth and her co m m er ial importance. she is without a future. omp,ll"c the an ie nt country 0f Babylon wil h that of Greece .

Fur knowledge of her we arc depe ndent upon her ruins. h< r brok e n columns and her potte ry. On the ot her hand, how secure is the Greece that tlo\\'ered in her grcnt men. She has bee n despoiled of her :1rt treasures, her temples have fallen, the Parthenon is in ruins, but the two hundred years of her lire which she d eposited in her great m en arc immortal. No tooth of tim e, no war's bloody hand, no devastation of years can take from her the glory which she lifted and locked in the genius of her generals. her ::i.rtists, her sta tes men and her philosophers. Epaminandos and Pericles still fight for her and guard with s leep less vigilance her fair na me.

POST OF NATIONAL GUARDS.
On the morning of the 27th of February the Governor signed the bill amending the general law concerning militia and making the iV[issouri Military Acudemy a state army post. The preside nt, superintende nt and commandant re:: : eive commis~ions with the rank of colonel, while the military facu lty get commis:;ions with the rank of major. On graduation cadets will receive the regular commission with rank of second lieutenant. This act places the school upJn a lnsi:-; of full official recognition. The G , vern or i:,, direc ted to provid e for th e annu a l in-;p ec tion of the in s titution by appoi nting for this purpose a co rnmitte , one of wh o m the Adjutant-General shall recomm .., nd. an other the State Superintendent and the third the Presid e nt of the State Board of Health. This insures for the school thorough military instruction and well-di rected drill. It insnres the b~st acad c rni c scl10la ·tic t raining that modern ped.lgogy can d e vise. Las t, but of vast importance, it insures thorough s,rnitation . \\'1 th t he impartial Cj e of the state u1V>;1 th e:;e three departments. nothing lax can be tolerated. This recognition by the state does not m ean th a t the roughness of army life, or what is too ofte n th e incivility of cadet life, will be allowed to pre vail o r for one mom ent tolerated; but it does mean that when the boy has been taught the n,anly bearing a nd the exalted deportment of a gentleman, broad e ned in mind, and with a heart ablaze with patriotic and Godly ambition, he will be sent to his life work bearing not a lon e the credentials of his academic af111rr maier, but likewise official recognition from the nobleCommonwealth of Missouri.

\VE believe the friends and patrons of the Missouri i\Jilitary Academy will congratulate us upon our effort to establish the EACI.E. Realizing the need of an academy journal, we present you with the EAGLE. promising you our strongest effort to give you a magazine worthy of the institution it re presents. \Ve ha\e undertaken this not 0 111) for the profit to ourselves and pl easure to our readers. but with th e supposition that it \\ould bear~ honor and a be ne fit to the Mi. souri Military Acadcrny and to ~T e xico. Our success depends upon the support we rece i\·c from our friends and the busin ess men of the to wn. Our business manager has met with much e ncouragement from the merchants, all of them express in g a desire to aid us and readily filling our ad vert i!--in ~ pages. \Ve tmst our friends and stude nts will gi ve us th eir help; if they do their part as well as the Lusiness men have done th eirs, our success is assured. Being thus encouraged by -the financial support and good wishes we have received and being buoyed up by the hope that we may be of benefit to our institu tion and town, we present you with our first number.
Once upon a time. in the first days of th'c cademy, there were seven boys who were always hungry. They never seemed to get enough to cat, and were hungry from m orning 'till night Anything to eat was acceptable to them, and they could ca t the rim off a saucer without so much as winking an eye, when their pangs would not allow them to wait for th e seco nd course at the taole. f n fact. they were the hungriest boys to be found ,, ithin a d'ay's journey. One clay. some kind so u Is took pity upon them. and se nt th em a large box of good things to eat. That was a ,·cry jo} fol e,·cnt in the history of these hun gry mor tal s and from that time on their motto beca me, •· i\Iore; any old thing. just so it's good to cat." As these seven boys were always hungry and see me-cl to expec t so me thing to ea t where,·er they ,,·ent. they were ca !led the ·· Hun gry Seven." No matter how late it was, no member of the "Hungry Seve n" was ever known to lca,e a party until after rcf.reshme nts had been served. The first llrtmes connected with this mystic m11nber were those of Campbell, E., Hall, Ilgenfritz, \[illcr, Hahm. Rohrer and Vierling. These were undouutedly the llllngriest boys in school and the title "hungry·· could certainly he applied to 110 hungrie r. After a tim e. the seven were reduced to five; but these five were just as hun g ry as they had formerly been. notwithstanding their diminished number.
1- I
At last it was decided to restore the o ri ,...,o-ina l numuer. so two new members \\ Cre solemnly initiated into the order with little cere mo ny and a great deal of water. Th ese new victims were Campbell, I: .. and Shacklett, C., and th ey promi ·ed to become hun gry, and to cat a nything that was eata ble whenever an opportunity occ urred . The s uperintendent felt orry for the •· Ti ungr) Seven'' and determined one day, in the goodness of his heart, to sat isfy. at least o ne time, their' ·lo ngin g for fuln ess." He had a "square mea l" prepared and se nt a special in vitation, which w:1.s acce pted with becoming modesty. The "Hu 110't") Seven· · did full justice to the occasion and sustai ned their w ll-earn ecl rcpu ta t io n. \ hen the meal was finished, each of the seve n had to be raised from his chair by the use of a de rric k . A cad et, curious to ma ke a mat he matica l e~timate of th eir stomachs (figures don't lie, you know : ) , stationed him se lf at a convenient win do w \\' here he could view the go rge- ous scene. Figures do n 't lie! \\h ew!! Let's see. Take th e •·big hungry " \\'ho sits to l\fajor Ewing's right, for example.

He had gained exactly 43 pounds and 7 ounces in weight and 26,Pg inches in circumference. The superintendent was alarmed and 'phoned for the surgeon to come po ·t-hastc with his in trumcnts.
