Northrup gave a mostinteresting address in the Haskell Assembly Room onTuesday morning. May 31, 1898, on "The Significanceof the Present Struggle with Spain." He expressedhis belief :1. That in the plan of Providence the present warwas designed to push the United States into theposition of a world state. He believed that we wouldno longer be able to maintain the isolation whichhas been favored since the days of Washington, butthat it was our duty as one of the leading powers ofthe world to have a hand in the settlement of thegreat problems which must be confronted during thecourse of the next few years.2. That there would no longer be question of theneed of a strong navy, not only one large enough to enable the United States to protect its great extent ofcoast line, but also one powerful enough to enableit to play its due part in the settlement of the worldproblems mentioned.3. That an Anglo-American alliance would be made,not for the purposes of the present war alone, but apowerful moral alliance which would have its influence in determining the destiny of the two hemispheres. He believed the future would reveal but twoinfluences at work among the nations, the one an influence favoring ideas of freedom, of personal liberty,of government of the people, for the people, and bythe people ; and on the other hand, one favoring ideasof despotism representing the exaltation of the stateand the personal power of the ruler with little regardto the rights of subjects.The address was a stimulating and helpful one, andthe three suggestions were so presented as to win thefavoring approbation of the audience present.Special Orders,No. 125.Lieutenant Palmer Transferred.The following official order has been received at theUniversity :HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY,Adjutant Geneeal's Office,Washington, May 28, 1898.Extract.By direction of the President, 2d Lieutenant JohnMcA.
