The shade ofthe late Richard T. Crane signifies anemphatic "Nay". Those innumerablecitizens who have taken up Mr.Crane's cudgel :Jrise and register ;vociferous negation. Liberal publications scoff at the very thought thatuniversities may imbue undergraduates with the capacity to cope withthe cold realities of lifc. The overemphasis which the college places upon such theoretical doctrine as deadlanguages or historical research, isthe target for verbal bombardment bynotable critics far and wide.A number of student movements ofto have assumed a renewed vigor. Themodern skeptic all too frequently overlooks these facts,-or else looksthem. over and does not see them.At the University, for example, students are offered a wide field for so-cial service in such channels as theUniversity Settlement. Provision ismade for those who wish first-handknowledge of financial or labor condi-tions, in curriculum courses requiringpersonal investigation. And in computing the practical opportunities avail-able to undergraduates, it is impossible to disregard The Forum, whosesphere of inquiry is the realm of politics; one cannot ignore the Red Crosscorps of lifesavers, nor the militaryregiment of Lieutenant O'Donnell.These are but isolated instances, inneed; but th-ey testify to the falsityof the accusation that students arehot-house plants, unfitted for the severcr climate of the world without.Such enterprises, morover, owe theirexistence, not to text book dogma,out to the alert initiative of the student body.A study of fire-prevention ,to he directed by the Pennsylvania department of Labor and Industry, has recently been launched and endowed bya group of Bryn Mawr alumnae, Theyhave chosen for investigation Pennsylvania establishments employingwomen and girls, and have selectedtwo experienced social workers toconduct the inquiry.T'rue, all these endeavors are he(ngcarried on within limited fields; buttheir impuhe is of wide social significance. And the generalization that:\ merican colleges are impractical be- comes invalid in the light of suchmanifold and diversified movements.CIRCUS COMMITTEEWILL MEET MONDAYPlans For Entertainment Will BeFormulated--Harold Moore IsGeneral Chairman.Plans for the \l'nivcrsity circus tohe staged on Stagg tield Saturday,"June 3, will he formulated at themeeting of the committee in charge�lull(lay afternoon at 1 :30 in Cobb12.\.

The Maroons appear tobe the iavorites in the fiying rings,althoug-h both teams are notablyweak in this event. The Badgerswent scoreless in this department ofthe meet last year .Gernon, Conference champion inclub swinging, is without a rival inhis event. Although weakened bythe loss of Veazey in the parallel andhorizontal bar events, Coach Hoffer'has anum ber of other candidates whoshould make up for this loss. Chicago will be represented by Lindemann .. Gernon. and Smith in the parallels. This squad hopes to avengetheir defeat of last year when theBadgers nosed them out by fivepoints.Loses Veterans.Coach Netherton will lead his bandof wrestlers against Wisconsin thesame night. Chicago has lost onlyone match so far this season andfrom all reports should register avictory against the Cardinal mat men.Coach Knott, of Wisconsin;-is minusthe services of several of his veterans .this season, and his team is composed mostly of inexperienced men.Rosenbarger will lead the attackfor the �Iaroons in the 125 poundclass against Blum of the Badgersquad. .Wjsconsin is without a reliable man in the 135 pound division,giving Jeschke, of Chicago, an easychance in this bout. Captain Mahannah will be pitted against Krause inthe 145 pound class and from pastperformances should give the �Jaroonrepresentative a stiff battle. Coach'K nott has uncovered a star in .the158 pound division in the person ofPerkins, who won the state amateurchampionship last year.

OPINIONS ON pLAYS OF THE WEEKA PAIR OF SILK STOCKI!'\GSByCyril Harcourt.Princess Theater.By Howard Mumford Jones.'Xo J:!reat injustice is done the Princess Theater to wonder by what happy chance "A Pair of Silk Stockings"wandered in there from the New YorkLittle Theatre. This brilliant comedyis not, remembering one or two dismal mediocrities built for the bourgeoisie, precisely what ou e has grownto expect at that playhouse. Excepting' the title the only burgeois line inthe present play IS the informationgiven on the program that "famous'Onyx' Hosiery from ::\1 andel Brothers" is "used exclusively in the play".One' so longs to be gvntccl in hosiery.For brilliancy of dialogue and brilliant is the only adjective which apples - there has been no such spark;ling conversation on a Chicago stagesince Margaret Anglin favored us with"Lady Windermere's Fan," Andthough the epigrams may be strewedmore thickly in the \Yilde comedy,Mr. Harcourt has been able to preserve his personalities and his conversation at the same time-something that \Vildc could never do. LadyGower hears a family likeness to theDuchess of Berwick and the dowager in "The Importance of BeingEarnest"; hut whereas those two immortal 'Women are only female Wildesat fifty, Lady Gower stands on herown feet as a conversationalist, andtalks as a wise and witty woman talksdshing her wit with cynicism and refining her cynicism with kindness.The Duchess of Berwick talks as people talk in a restoration comedy, brilliantly, but like a duchess in some impossible dream of wit; Lady Gowerhas only been concentrated for stagepurposes; she has not been heightened.The same observation is largelytrue .of the rest of the characters. Ido not suppose any English countryhouse is so consistently witty- atdinner, at midnight, and at breakfastas John Gower's country house. Onthe other hand I am perfectly certain that no country house anywherefor ten minutes talked like any pageout of Oscar Wilde. The differenceis the difference between the conversation of comedy and the comedy' ofconversation, and all these Englishpeople stick to the conversation ofcomedy-of comedy of manners-ofexceedingly good manners, and therefore exceedingly good conversation.If f'he astral self of George Meredith is ever present at the PrincessTheater he must burst forth' into thatsilvery laughter which, when alive, begave to the comic 'spirit. ,No play atpresent in Chicago depends less uponthe humor of caricature and more upon "a sober estimate of our civilizedqualities" Jor its effects. Comedy,wrote Meredith, "laugh's through theWomen's athletic activities for thecorning week include besides the lasttwo games of the Junior-Senior college basketball championship series, a practice baseball game between the beginning and advancedclasses Monday afternoon, in Lexington gymnsium.,A curtain raiser consisting of acontest between the Junior collegesecond squad and the 1 :.10 basketball mind, for the mind directs it; and itmight be called .the humor of themind." The true fun in "Silk Stockings" depends less upon situation(though the venerable screen-scenecomes in for its usual useful and comic results). and more upon the "honesty and shapeliness" of individualcharacters. Thus, it is not SamThornhill's .predicament in findinghimself in the same house with his divorced wife that is comic, but hisshifts and evasions, his side-ways approach to the main issue of the situation which we find laughable. Similar ly, too, Pamela Bristowc's inability ot meet Molly Thornhill honestly�IIlU openly, though it makes for corncc 'dy in others, is not itself comic, except so far as it leads Pamela herselfto shifts and evasions. Comedy is Icornmon-sence.The only possible basis for wit insuch a play as "Silk Stockings" is notthat the characters 'arc witty, but thatthey arc not merely witty. Under theshifting tapestry of the repartee thereIS concealed, as polished people doconceal them, all the emotions of Ithe direst drama. I t is not that thesituation is not serious; two love af- Ifairs are temporarily broken up, Irene IMaitland is shown as loving in vain, IIIILady Gower has, lost her illusions:but the persons in the play have resolved to treat the situations as theyarise with that good-humored com-mort-sense which cultivated personsusc. Wit arises from the fact thatone or another of them is perpetuallyconscious of the absence of commonsense in particular cases. I t is byhalf-g lints that we gain the true trendof affairs, but the possibilities arc \there always for serious developmentand only the saving grace of the com-ic ,spirit keeps the players withinbounds.The caste is all admirable, as English players in this country have ahabit of being. Of the women MissShipworth's Lady Gower of courseheads the list, and the manner, inwhich in the, bed-room scene, she delivers her speech on' marriage is theessence of comedy of manners. SybilCarlisle as Irene 'Maitland is quietly effective, so effective indeed thatnot until the play 'is over do you realize the nobility she has deftly sug�ested. Angela (Lilla Campbell)seems somewhat unnecessary, exceptto balance Hugh MacIntyre. MollyThornhill (Eva- Leonard-Boyne) andPamela Bristowe (Gladys Knorr) aremore interested in character than incomedy, but they are both admirable.Of the men Sam Sothern as SamThorn;':ll is the feature; one's onlycomment is to ask why this quiet,effective, picture of a middling-intelligent man if! a' difficult situation hasnot been given before. \Vallace Erskine as Sir J ohn Gower is good, andso is the Hugh Macfntyre of Edward�Douglas, though both of them approach at times to farce.PLAY LAST TWO GAMESOF THE CHAMPIONSHIPSERIES NEXT WEEKPractice Contest And Curtain RaiserAlso Scheduled By W.
