Anger an Impulse to Destruction
Anger is an impulse to destruction. It is not crea-
tive or constructive from any standqoint. Its children
are remorse and regret, death and destruction, sorrow
and desolation. Ia has been t undoing of kings and
the ruin of empires, the breaking of friendships and the
severing of ties of love. It is is a stranger to reason
and unacquainted with prudence. Small wonder, then,
that the wise man said, "He that is slow to anger is
better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his
spirit than he that taketh a city;" and he said this also:
"Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger rest-
eth in the bosom of fools." Like every other tree, it is
known by its fruits. The record of anger all down the
ages is red with the blood of innocence and helpless-
ness. It is a crimson stream of egotism, impetuosity,
and wilfulness.—Dallas News.

That they had "the goods" on
partment at the opera house on
Friday night of last week was
indicative of that fact. It was
pronounced by all to have been
the very best concert ever given
by the Faculty, demonstrating
that the University of Oklahoma
certainly has talent of a high
order among is instructors.
Many of the numbers on the pro-
gram consisted of the most dif-
ficult music in vocal, piano, vio-
lin and cornet but all were ren-
dered in a manner most pleasing.
Those who took part in the
concert were:
Mrs. Cora Pritchett—Soprano.
Mrs. Eva E. Dungan—Pianist.
Miss Merle Newby—Violinist.
Prof. Geo. S. Lenox—Tenor.
Prof. C. F. Giard—Pianist and
Composer.
Prof. Lloyd B. Gurtist—Cor-
netist.
Mr. Louis Salter—Piano.
The audience was large and
most appreciative, encoring the
performers time and again. The
concert as a whole impressed all
that certainly in this depart-
ment the University is in the
highest class and its instructors
equal to any in the land.
