Probably, if hisdaughter was to be called for in aluxurious "taxi" and if a lavish bou­quet were a prerequisite for attend­ance at the dance, the discriminatingparent would overlook the pitfallsand dangers which he fears. The car­dinal quality of the Settlement danceis its democracy; it is an occasionWhen class, family and fraternity dis­tinctions are forced into the back­ground. The spirit of this dance isof the informal, social variety whichaccompanies whole-souled pleasure.COLLEGE LOYALTY TAKES THE. STAND."College loyalty" is a phrase whichi� very pliable; it has been construedto mean things but remotely asso­Ciated with college; to some it sig­nifies returning from a football game�th a hoarse voice; to others itnteans offering only laudation for tbe'tJniversity, and ignoring the AllIJ:8,ltater's shortcomings. Still othersquestion the existence of such an in­stitution as "college loyalty." Butit seeIl1S that in a review of l1enryS 'del 'canby's "College Sons and Col;"el . . thl�ge Fathers," the writer In e cur-�nt issue of The New Republic hasIn the nail on the head. It is the":isinterpretation of "college loyalty"�hich is bringing the term and thefact into, ill-repute. The reviewer'�� JtlJllent follows:ocPJ'he incorrigible loyalty means theIt rd-instinct which canonizes con­t erJIlity and ostracises difference. "1'0� lazy, to be over-studious, to be dis­Solute, to be spendthri!t,' Mr. Canby�lls us, 'is to offend In some subtleC) obvioUS fashion the spirit of 101-a�tY.' This 'is too kind. What these�allY offend is that sheep-like gre­Ih1riousness of adolescent human be­i s whose infantile will-to-power hash!n tamed and civilised, but whoilave not yet met those challengesOf the world which would bring onttheir individualities. Adolescence isthe age either of fiery dislocation andexpansion, or of a pitiful sub.jugationto the group, the crawl back to what�r. C:mby euphemistically calls 4theapproval of their classmates.' The!'eal indictment of the American col­lege is that it provides a social at­lllosphere so incomparably seductiveto this gregarious crawl.. The col­lege is sequestered from action andfrom exciting appeals of the outsideworld, and the students become atimid herd, engaged primarily in fol­lowing the norm of what the rna-:.'j1I"'t-lI�' jority can do easily. A terrific cen­tripetal force is created, and e�ery­thing which does not yield to it comesto seem in their eyes eccentric, weird,contemptible. The undergraduateworld is really a primitive clan so­ciety; it can be changed only in theway that all primitive societies arechanged; it· can be changed only bysmashing the 'cake of custom. �"To idealize this herd instinct andcall it loyalty, as Prof. Canby does,is simply to play into its hands. Itis loyalty that is the real enemy.Jeer at it, discredit it, and you haveliberated undergraduate energy forthe manifold interests to which youwish to entice it. Shatter the virtueof loyalty to your college and in yourcollege, and you have neutralized thatcentripetal force which draws the massto the mediocre norm, As long asloyalty to college life is considereda virtue, you will get little loyaltyto college education. They are un­alterably opposed. Students cannotbe taught to think when their mindsare glued together." Seniors, stop one moment in yourheadlong careers, and realize that itis only 4,464 hours until you aregraduated.===================Mr. Alfred Noyes, the noted Eng-lish poet who is a visiting professorat Princeton university, has been se­cured to speak on January 8 in Man­del, under the auspices of theBeniorclass.

Dis­appointed, I hied me to the ClassicslIbrary, but there a steamfitters' con­vention was holding a clinic on oneof the radiators, and ·with the blowsof the hammer and the whine of thepipe-wrench in my ears I fled, an­noyed, to the smoking room in theEast tower. Aha, I sighed, 'twill nowbe silent. I have now. found it-thelong . desired stillness.For ten minutes I studied bravelythe intricacies of Fielding's style.But then the door opened, and inmarched two law students of the mostviolent ,type. Hardly had they littheir pipes when' they entered upona discussion of the famous case ofPeter Peebles vs. Towne Pump, anddisappointed and annoyed, I seizedmy hat and strode forth to continuethe fruitless search. In a desperatestate of mind, I stalked into the read­ing room of Harper library, andflung myself into a chair near thefirst' table. All was peaceful for fiveminutes, ten minutes,- twelve minutes-and I nearly finished one chapterof Tristram Shandy, But it was toolong, I knew, for the blessed angelto hover' 'over me-and sure enough,with a rattle and clank the curtainsat the' east windows of the great roombegan to clamber back into theirplaces at the side of the frames, pro­pelled by the unseen hand of somerestless indi-rldual. Up the long aislescame the rattling, sliding activity ofthe curtains,' till at -Iast they wereall pulled back, and the room wasone kilowatt lighter than before. Un­nerved, I dashed up and down theaisle and then out into the wild freeair, where I penned this prayer:Oh, Rest, Peace, Stillness,Long have I sought thee.But thou art not to be found here.Let me find thee in the loop orSouth Chicago.Let me study amid the drone of drophammers and I.

Earlythis week a noted socialist and alabor leader occupied platforms atthe University on the same day, andespoused the cause of democracy.Ideas which disturb the complacencyof every-day existence were scatteredbroadcast over the campus. Manymen in higher places stamp 'such ideasas 'dangerous. The men in high placesare the backbone of the two numeri­cally leading parties of this country,and include (we can hardly sayboast) such names as Penrose, Barnes,Smoot, Warren and Cannon. An ex­ponent of capitalism of, national rep­utation spoke yesterday and his dis­course was in such striking contrastwith those heard earlier in the weekthat one is impressed with its time­liness. Mter gaining the viewpointof both the capitalistic and socialisticsystems, we wonder whether thriftis the panacea ·lor social discontentor whether, as a still prominentAmerican has stated, "human rightsare not above property rights."SUSPENDING' JUDGMENT.'The result of the meeting of theConference Athletic board last Satur­day resulted in referring the questionof the abolition of intercollegiatebaseball to the individual colleges.The members of the board representtheir universities by proxy, and thedevelopment of sentiment regardingthe baseball problem within the com­ing two months will probably definethe stands of the various colleges.At present the opinion is divided, notonly' among the nine institutions, butwithin the universities; and the ap­proaching weeks will tell the tale.Anyone who attempts to gain a defin­ite idea of the existing status of thequestion of abolishing Conferencebaseball will attempt the impossible';for there are almost as many differentinterpretations of the situation asthere are men who follow the for­tunes of athletics.A BREACH OF ETIQUETrE.A psychology instructor in aJunior college class yesterday calledupon his students for an illustrationof a certain state of consciousness.A freshman responded with an ex­ample from the immortal Antonyoration. A subdued series of snickerswas audible among some of the eldermembers of the class; one man washeard to comment jocularly about the"high brow freshman." Indeed, it isa shame that an unsophisticated un­dergraduate should dare to be so in­tellectual as to refer to the classicsseriously! It is to be hoped that theoffender will profit by the sneeringreception with which his intelligentanswer met, and not venture to"queer" himself thus in the future.This is, indeed, an age of special­ization.
