It was part of the administrative plan to close the doors at4:15 and after the first number toadmi t persons without tickets to thevacant seats.To handle- the anticipated crowd arrangements were ordered exactly asfor an orchestral concert. The taking of tickets and the ushering, indee'd the responsibility for the management of affairs within the hall, wasplaced upon one man. Arrangementsoutside of the hall and for admissionto the building are always placed directly on the Superintendent's office.In accordance with this plan a University employe is always placed atthe outer east door, the outer westdoor and in the north corridor, theticket takers being at the inner doors.The men at the outer doors were notin position yestenlay, because all janitors were strenuously endeavoring toset the stage in readiness for theconcert. This emergency move wasnecessary because in some unexplained way the Superintendent's office,which about April 1 had been notifiedof the concert, was unprepared for thesame and had indeed set the full stagewith Blackfriars scenery. To remove this all janitors available hadto work at top speed up to the minute of the concert.The confusion can be readily understood when the the present situationin the Superintendent's office is considered. The Superintendent has beenand is 'very seriously ill. His assist-. ant has resigned and the newly appointed assistant has only just entered upon his work. The clerk inthe office has resigned to be married.I imagine that such a combination ofcircumstances is not likely to occurvery soon.Mr. Webster mentions directions.which were given to go.to the University avenue entrance ... Those directions were not given by' the head usher who was the only person with authortiy to give directions. Of coursewhat happened when the persons whowent to the University avenue entrance 'reached that point was that. the concert had begun and the doorswere closed until after the first number ..The Superintendent's office is nowprepared to do in the future what ithas heretofore done in such cases.: Those without tickets will be held atthe tower entrance, only persons withtickets being admitted to the corridor.Persons without tickets will form aIine, the earliest in position havingthe first opportunity to enter thehall.David A.

Butmight not the Reynolds club rectifythe situation by .arranging at thistime a short sequence of lectures onsome subject of common importance.Such a series could well be given inconnection with and during the Quarter-Centennial celebration. A set ofluncheons, or dinners, or smokers, witha man thoroughly qualified to discussin short speeches some topic of general interest, would be highly and universally .profitable.

Inthat event, we modestly venture toassert, both might have been assimilnted hy the rising generation withmore enthusiasm while its young ideawas learning-beg pardon, was beingtaught how to shoot.Having thus disposed of the"What?" in rather summary fashion,we brace ourselves for the "Why?"and "How?""Why?" Disregarding as too obvious and too inconclusive the counter "Why is the school of householdadministration?" or "\Vhy is theCollege of C. and A. ?" (we might justas readily, and with as much reason.say "Why is a mouse when itspins?"), let us say at once that awell-ordered school of journalism corresponds, to our way of thinking towhat we conceive to be the theory underlying the modern collegiate curriculum.In the neolithic period of so-tospeak higher education, the distinction between scholar and whateverthe antonym for scholar may be wasthought worthy of perpetuation.Classicism was the Moloch u\>onwhose altar many a young idea foundan untimely end. To have taught, orattempted to teach anything of a useful nature within the hallowed precincts of a university would have outraged everyone connected with theinstitut ion save, perhaps, a few of thestudents. That sort of thing, onerather thought, was for apprenticetradesmen. One didn't go to college,did one, to learn a trade, but to become educated. The college was adistinctly class institution, andhaughtily withdrew the hem of itsg'own from anything that smackedeven remotely of town.Mrs. General would have been asdeeply scandalized as her prunilypr-isma t.ic code of ethics permitted hadanyone sumrcsted that she initiateLittle Dorrit into the mysteries of acourse in "The application of heat tofood mn tr-r inl s' rathr-r than in "Papa.potatoes, poultry, prunes, and prism."There is no need to multiply instances of this sort, or to point outthe minor details of a sufficientlyobvious contrast. The modern theoryof university education apparentlyholds that not only docs no disgraceor taint attach to any curriculumwhich tends to rna ke its student more'I"f, J worthy to meet the problems of whatcommencement orators refer to asreal life, but that such an aim is decidedly to be sought. Today the universities appear to act on the principle that the ambit ion to turn outbetter mechanics, barbers, physicians,cooks, bookkeepers, aeronauts, andteachers than would be possible without university training is distinctly aworthy one. We hold that the abilityto read Josephus or Henry James inthe orig-inal, while a charming and interesting asset, is no more gracefulor commendable an achievement thanthe ability to work out a menu for afamily of five on a salary of eighteendollars a week. We may not knowwho Lucullus was, but we couldtheoretically-give his chefs cardsand spades and still beat them outwhen it came to a system of embodying in a meal a certain number ofcalories and the proper protein-fatcarbohydrate percentages withoutmaking it taste like a combination ofluke-warm ashes and ditchwater.In short, wherever possible, wehave sought to eliminate empiricismand rule-o-thumb methods, il: ourmodern universities, and nowhere isthis trend toward the "laboratorymethod" better typified than at theUniversity of Chicago. The embryodoctor, lawyer, merchant, chief, to saynothing of the butcher, the baker andthe munition maker, receive detailedattention with due regard to theirfuture estates. There is only onenotable exception-the embryo journalist.For the sake of argument-orrather, for the sake (if avoiding argument-let us assume, for this dayand train only, that the words "journalist" and "newspaper man" aresynonymous, "journalist" being amore convenient handle. The question then, as it appears in the light ofmodern educational practice, is not"Why do we need a well-orderedschool of journalism at the Universityof Chicago?" but "Why, inasmuch asthe University of Chicago is apparently trying to make its curricula fitits students for their destined careers,is the profession of journalism (read'newspaper work') omitted 1" Wehave abandoned the idea of sendinggraduates into the world of businesswithout sufficient grasp of businesspractice to enable them to pound sandefficiently, and have therefore established a school of Commerce andAdministration, and equipped its laboratories with «lcctrtc adding machines, loose-leaf iedgcrs, cross-indexcd filing' systems and a red-hairedoffice boy who smokes cigarettes.

It takes aristocrats to create one deliberately. Themen at DePauw University who founded Sig-ma Delta Chi were aristocrats,not that they ranked themselves assuperior to their fellow beings inpoint of social status, but that theyfelt that they had a higher ideal whichthey wished to carry with them intothe field which they proposed to enter. Their purpose was the association of college men, who had journalism as their goal, under the banner of a high standard of ethics; theirtie was the strongest, most bindingand least artificial, the fellowship ofcraft. Since its beginning in April,1909, the fraternity has advancedalong the course its founders established.The expansion of the fraternity hasbeen rapid, but its growth has beenheld in check somewhat by the cautious policy of the fraternity. Chapters have been established only inthose colleges and universities wherethere was an appropriate field forsuch representation and where theopportunities offered by the curriculum were sufficient to encourage journalism and promise a prosperous future for the chapter.In every college where there is achapter there is a student newspaper,usually a daily. In addition to suchwork as members of the chapter mayhave opportunity to do on one or another of the various student publications, every chapter publishes, on itsown responsibility, some sort of aperiodical, the nature of which varieswith the individual chapters. In somecase the publication is a humorousmagazine, sold for profit with theproceeds filling the coffers of thechapter. In other cases the paper ormagazine is a burlesque newspaper,or' is more serious in its tone as theplace and occasion may require.Practically every other importanthonorary fraternity was representedat the University of Chicago whenthe Press Writers organized in January 1915. The eight original members were men who were then engaged in some branch of journalisticendeavor or who intended to makejournulism their life work. It was definitely decided at the beginning thatthe ortraniznt.ion should be more than:� social one and that the primary purpose should be that of mutual advanccrncnt in the fields of journalism.Hut a recog-nition of the fact that con).:eniality is essential in the personnelof the g-roup dr-tcrmincd the policythat election to membership shouldnot 1)(' automatic,It wa s not the plan of the originalmembers of the Press Wrttcr s tocompete with the Pen Cluh or toproselyte f'rorn it hy kidnapping itsobject. The intention was rather toform a group in which the purposeshould he somewhat more definitelyjournalistic than that followed in the Pen Club and to supplement the University curriculum with individual research in journalistic fields. Weeklymeetings were held at which somemember read a paper on one phase ofjournalism of particular interest tohim and of general interest to all themembers. The criticism and discussion which followed the reading wasprofitable and interesting.The Press Writers recognized in theideals of Sigma Delta Chi the highpurposes which they were trying tofollow and, saw at once the factthat as members of Sigma Delta Chithey would benefit, not only fromthe communion and intercourse withindividuals and groups with commonpurposes, but also from the strengthwhich lies in every union founded upon an actual bond of interests. Theybelieved that through the wide rangefrom which the University of Chicago draws its students, and from thewide journalistic field which is openin the city of Chicago, they couldform a strong and helpful organization at this institution. With thesefacts in mind a petition for a charterwas drafted for presentation to theNational Convention at Iowa City, inMay 1915. The charter was grantedand the chapter promptly initiated.Sigma Delta Chi is a thoroughlypractical organization. Membershipin it is more than honorary recognition: it is a testimonial to the aimsof the member. For the service ofmembers of the fraternity a nationalemployment bureau is being formedfrom the permanent fund provided bya partition of the national dues derived from each man at initiation.The publication of the fraternity isThe Quill, a quarterly magazine fullof the news and the ideas of the journalistic world. The magazine is sentto all active and alumni members, andthrough its reports of their activities,keeps close the tie between them.The fraternity has been recognizedand stamped with the seal of approvalof the leaders in the field for which itt rains. Of its graduate members,sixty percent are actively engaged insome branch of journalistic work;many of them have risen to positionsof eminence in newspaperdom. TheAmerican Conference of Teachers ofJournalism, an organization whichincludes the instructors in the schoolsof .Journalism throughout the country, endorsed the fraternity in astraightforward and unequivocal resolution: "Resolved, That the American Conference of Teachers of J ournn lisru extend its sympathy, cooperation and hcart y endorsement to Sigm.i D"lta ('hi:'\\"lwn "eve-ry additional mall who�()('� into ucwspapcr work means onemore for the county to bury" it isintcrcstinrr that the supply of mendocs not cease.

And the wave ofreaction and protest against the existing status of sports in the collegeshas found a willing medium of expression in leading periodicals andnewspapers throughout the country.The day has arrived when institutions of higher education in Americamust realize that their true aim-theinculcation of intellectual interestsand the formation of character in thestudents-has been overshadowed andmade incidental to the activities ofathletic teams. And so firmly hasthis hysteria grasped entire studentbodies, so thoroughly has this unquenchable desire for victory insports become ingrained in undergraduates--diverting them from theirfundamental purpose as collegiansthat a complete modification, if notabolition of intercollegiate athleticsas now conducted, seems to be thesole remedy for the growing evils ofthe system.The foundation upon which reststhe present structure of intercollegiate athletics cannot be undermined orremodeled by the dictum of a selectboard of athletics delegates. It wouldbe farcical to condemn sweepingly thefield of college sports. But the damning aspect is the perversion of thegenuine goal of such contests-fromthe development of bodily strengthand the maintainance of health, thespirit of recreation as it makes forefficient mentality, and the formationof ideals of clean living-into athletics of the win-at-any-cost variety,jingo athletics conducted for revenueonly, with personal glory and aggrandizement as paramount raisons d'etre.Obviously, the most efficacious wayto combat the abnormal estimationplaced upon athletic distinction is toadd to the prestige of intellectual distinction. And for this achievement,the college daily is probably the onemost influential organ for the moulding of' opinion.The most pertinent question whicharises, then, is "What attitude havecollege newspapers assumed in regard to intercollegiate athletics, andwhat is their future treatment of thesubject to be?" This query is easilyanswered.A computation, conducted over aperiod of several months in studentpublications from institutions ranging from Massachusetts to Californiaand from Minnesota to Texas, showsthat the proportion of athletics articles to the total of news and editorialmaterial in each issue is approximately forty-six percent, thus alloting toall other fields of interest, academic,social and political, slightly morethan one-half of the entire availablespace.It is evident, moreover, that, farfrom retarding the mania for overemphasizing intercollegiate sports,respected student newspapers areeven aggravating the existing situation. One college editor recently carried these tactics so far as to perpetrate the following:"Approxrmatcly 100 out of 6000students on the campus take an active part in Varsity athletics. Theother 5,900 are content to sit in thestands and add their mite towardvictory through the medium of rooting. Thcse 5,900 owe more to ath- letics than the paltry vocal exercisesin which they engage. The 100 giveunsparingly of their strength, theirbrains and their time. They need,and they deserve more from theirfellows. *. * The Coach haspointed the way for the 5,900. Eachyear he has sent out a plea to the student body to assist the Varsity athlete in his scholastic work. But thevast majority of that 5,900 is content to stay in the background whensome concrete example of loyalty tothe college's athletics is asked. Itjs the duty of every student on thecampus, whether he be a brilliantscholar or merely the pladder, to addhis quota to the Varsity athlete • *,.Such is the customary attitude ofthe college journalist: "Let the 5,900students, whose main energies are,not devoted to athletics, see to it thatthe 100 athletes reecive passing.grades."It is a truism to state that the evilsof intercollegiate athletics cannot beobliterated overnight. But it is arational supposition that a. change ofattitude on the part of the collegedaily will aid in bringing about agradual reformation of sports, which;will soon relegate them to theirproper position in the sphere of student interest. If the student publica,tions would restrict mention of intercollegiate athletics to a reasonablelimit, at the same time augmentingthe amount of attention devoted to intellectual channels, the result wouldbe an increased tendency for sportsto return to their normal state. It isthe college daily's idolatry of the individual athlete and its relentlesspressure for the production of "winning teams" which is a constant factor in causing universities, amongother things, to hire coaches who are,Paid as high as college presidents�nd to make the athletics season a'financial venture, at Harvard nettingenough annually to meet the year'smonetary obligations of educationalinstitutions of Amherst's size. Whenthe college daily becomes actively instrumental in discouraging this fetishof intercollegiate athletics, thensports will be a step nearer beingconducted for education and exercise,rather than for dollars and cents.How They Handle the BigStory.(Continued from Page 1)Perhaps, now that Columbus has discovered the continent, they will seethat they have been misled by Mer-riam and the bull-fight trust, and willshow more confidence in their Mayor.X 0, I shall not permit the continentto be called Thompsonia-unless thepeople demand it.Fred Lundin and Bull-ring JohnCoughlin immediately set up a shout"Call it Thompsonia!""The people have spoken, said theMayor.

The rcasouis not that it is a technical guide forthose with whom religion is a profession, but 'that it is intended to appealto that class of people for whom religion is a thing real e-nough to bevital. Most dcnorniua tional periodicals are weeklies, averaging in priceIrom two dollars to three dollars peryear. The subscribers pay with moreor less willingness, according towhether they depend on its exposition of the Sunday school lesson orhave been cornered by a zealousagent and appealed to on the groundof denominational loyalty.The religious weekly has a two-foldpurpose: first, to cover the news ofthe denomination it represents andthe news of religious and reformmovements in general; and, second,to meet the demand for a strictlyfamily paper, helpful and intcresting(0 the entire family group. The onlyreal difficulty in reconciling thesetwo aims lies in the problem of including them both n the limited number of pages of the magazine. Thisobstacle has been overcome withsufficient success to establish the religious weekly firmly in the homesof the class to which it appeals. Ithas a definite field and a justified,though too often, precarious, existence.Modernizing forces have been atwork in the field of religious journalism and changes in the denominational weekly have kept pace withchanges in church methods in gencral. Competition has been a goadto progress: in the struggle for subscribers the deil has ever been readyto take the hindmost. Figures recently gathered showed that a largepercentage of the subscribers to denominational weeklies took none orfew other periodicals. These readers, iftheir lists of magazines be small, areapt to be discerning in their choices;if they take but a few periodicals,they want good quality. Denied this.they revise the list, Then, too, thesubscriber, tempted on every side byalluring offers from secular magazines, may weaken and fall fromgrace and the subscription list, unless his religious reading mattercomes to him in an attractive stylethat makes his religion more than aone-day-a-week interest. The concessions to these demands have beenrelatively recent.It took vacuum cleaning to renovatethe old religious weekly of ourgrandfathers. What was most needed was elimination-ridding the advertising columns of announcementsof nostrums and panaceas that madechilhlains a pleasure and betweendoses could be used for piano polish.This process made the business section of the paper more appetizing,and gave the journalist reformer aplace to swing his beater while heknocked holes in the editorial andnews columns. It was harsh treatment, but none the less necessary,for, from the time thc first damp issue of the first religious weekly waslifted from the press, the one rule ofcomposition has been, "Crowd asmuch as possible into every column,"and under this command, the picarule retreated he fore the hydraulicram.:\11 of which is to say that the reason you never read a religious weekly was because there wasn't a singlearticle in any issue you rememberthat "solei" you the minute you picked it up. There wasn't a picture onthe page, and what was worse, there wasn't a line of white space to befound, There was adequate reasonfor this lack. The pages of the religious weekly are limited, definiteand constant. Space is at a premium.The editor is Hooded with communications, all IIi which han' more orle s-, of a claim to recognition andpublication. The only way the editor can ever get out from under thedeluge is by practicing the strictesteconomy wtih regard to space.The editor's logic was -uunden oug h, hut its result was bad.

The ass istant editor rescues the monthly from the pileof exchanges and notes that the illustrations are not uniformly placed inthe middle of the pace, and mentallyrecords the fact that the variationsare pleasing. Result: the next issueshows new ar rang ing of heads andnew positions for cuts.There are regular departments, ofcourse, which must be brushed upoccasionally to keep them attractive.A hand-lettered etching may be effective, but it may be more so if itsregular appearance is interrupted bythe usc of a simple type head, neatlyboxed in.

In1892 Lady Windermere's Fan wasfirst produced in the St. JamesTheater, and the English public wasintroduced to drama as a thing worthstudy. On the continent St.rindbcrg'sThe Father preceded it by five years;The Second l\lrs. Tanqueray, Heimat(Magda), The Weavers, Pelleas and,Melisande, and III Mizzoura appearedthe following year; Ibsen was new,and still discussed only at the radicaldinner-tables; Henry Arthur Joneswas yet blind to the meaning of continental drama; Barrie had not appeared, Brieux was doing nothing,and Shaw had to wait five years before publishing Plays, Pleasant andUnpleasant. The contemporary English drama was born. Before thatdate the voice of Ibsen was the voiceof one crying' in the wilderness; sincethat date all the conflicting schools ofmodern drama, the fury, the revolutions, the reforms, the daring and thedefeats of the contemporary epochhave occurred., Out of these twenty-five years ofturmoil there have emerged distinctschools of acting, distinct mannerisms in the production and the staginJ.!' of plays. The only necessary element which has failed to emerge inAmerica at least, is a distinct andreasoned dramatic criticism] we haveno types or schools of critics whocorrespond in definiteness of purposeto, let us say, the Irish players, theRussian playwrights, or the, symbolicschool. And this lack of a criticalschool is the more surprising whenwe recollect the labors of Lessing inthe Hamburgtsehe Dramaturgic. or ofHolberg in founding the Scandinaviandrama. It is the fashion of the criticsto rail at the managers; it would bejuster for the authors to complain ofthe vagueness and lack of aim inpresent-day dramatic criticism.The term dramatic critic is notmeant to include the compilers ofuseful handbooks like Hale and Dickinson and Mathews, nor the theoristslike Barker and Mackaye and theladies who run the Drama League. Itis meant to apply to the dramaticcritic as he is most familiar to themetropolitan newspaper-reader, namely, the sublimated reporter on a sortof eternal special assignment paid towrite cleverly concerning plays. Atthe best this type is Percy Hammondas he used to be; at the worst-well,at the worst there is the press-agentand the notices in the Oshkosh Times.With the possible exception of WalterPritchard Eaton, none of these gentlemen pretends to do more than towrite entertainingly concerningplays; they arc all interested, ofcourse, in good acting, in good construction, in originality of ideas, butthey are not interested in these thingsas creeds to uphold and champion.They do not believe any theory ofthe theater; and their readers preferverbal stunts with the English language, and gossip concerning thestage.The newspaper critic is not whollyto blame. The peculiar organizationof our commercial theater, the clientele of his paper and the watch-dogsin the business office arc equally atfault. Nevertheless the newspaperJ\'. critic is apt to fall into the easy habitof writing clever nothings, apt to forget that he is not an entertainer buta judge, and being human, he is frequently bored by his job. Nevertheless, he must stand this indictment:that he frequently seems to changeplaces with the players and to furnishthe conjuring acts of vaudeville himself. It can not be said that eitherhe or his readers take his criticismseriously, in the sense that the dramatist or the literary critic, or thepoet takes himself seriously.Nevertheless, this much is evident:that if we are to get anywhere withthe American theater, we mustachieve a theory of the Americantheater-that is, we must see clearlythe capabilities of the author, theplayer, the producer, and the audience, and we must see these in relation to American life. Some one mustbe charged with the guardianship ofthis theory, and must from time totime apply it to plays as they are produced. \Ve must achieve some sortof reasonable standard for Americanplays, we must measure acting bycanons we have reasonably workedout, we must point out to audienceswhat is significant in plays beyondthe personality of the star or therisque nature of the dialog. Thisguardianship, and this continual testing is, it seems to me, the business ofthe American critic.We take our drama seriouslysometimes; we take our novels seriously; above all, we take our literarycriticism, such as we have, seriously.We must learn to take our dramaticcriticism in the same spirit. On theother hand, the critic must quite consciously remember it is not his business to be merely clever; on thereaders' side, his audience must notexpect to be merely entertained.Without fundamental criticism, basedon a theory of the theater and ofthe play, whatever that theory maybe, constructive progress in American drama is impossible. That criticism it must become the business ofthe daily newspaper (since the magazine is too slow a medium) to obtainand encourage. In the interest ofthe better metropolitan papers in, securing a staff of critics who shall taketheir art seriously, as much as inauthor or actor lies the real problemof a native drama.That such criticism must come-indeed, that it is slowly coming seemsto me to be evident. The activities ofthe Drama League, the Stage Guild,the Pageant Society of America andsimilar associations have forced usback to a serious consideration ofwhat, after all, the place of thetheater should be in American life.I nnovators like Winthrop Ames,Maurice Browne and the WashingtonSquare Players have compelled us toreconsider the very nature of theplay. Finally, the adoption by universities of courses like English 47 atHarvard have given all the aspectsof the theater an atmosphere of work,worth and dignity .. The writing ofplays is no child's play! It willeventually occur to some one thatthe judg ing of plays .for' the thousands who depend upon their newspaper for advice as to amusement isworthy of as serious consideration asthe construction of scenarios or theproduction of community pageants.It seems to me that there is room inevery university for a small andspecially selected group of �oung (Continued from Page 2)eu t , Suffice it to say that there IS�ufTicient basis for the skepticismwith which the products of schools ofjour na lis m arc only too often regarded. Ex pcr ie ncc has taught uhe cityeditor that the gruduate of most colleges of journalism is les s plastic material than the thoroughly green cub,because the former must tir st gothrough a painful process of unlearning the twaddle that has been in<t il lcd into him hy well-meaning in-truct or s who, through lack of practical cxpcr icucc or even t h roug h failureas prucrical journalists, arc not fittedto instruct t h e aspirant for ne w spaper honors, and who consequently turnout graduates having a hazy notion ofthe precise diffe re n ce between a galley proof and a circulation manager."What?" then, may be answeredfirst, second, thirty-Iouruh and last by"Capable instructors." The detailswill take care of themselves. Onenotable exception among schools ofJ onrnalism is the Pulitzer school inColumbia university. The Pulitzerstudents are taught by practical. menwho know the game from the groundup and from the sky down.. The students here are taught those thingswhich ordinarily fall to the lot of thecub to pick up for himself, since theeditors of the paper on which he landsa job have not the time to tell himanything except that his work is rotten. The Pulitzer school has demonstrated that it is poss ible to teach astudent those a-b-ab's which the ordinary cub has to pick up by writingobits and chasing unimportant pictures.Thc ideal school of Journalismwould print a metropolitan newspaper. In most instances, this problem'presents practical difficulties whichcannot be overcome. But there is onething which presents no practicaldifficulties-it may not be possible toprint a metropolitan newspaper Inthe University of 'Chicago School ofJournalism, but it is possible to writeone-daily. The instructors wouldand could assign stories to their students-real stories to the advancedclasses, and Freshman Philosophicalsociety meetings to the cubs. Forreal stories-off-campus stories, thatis-stories which would cover the cityof Chicago, arrangements could undoubtedly be made to get some CityNews Bureau service. The reporters,on their laboratory days, would besent out to their assignments-themurder on Belmont avenue, the sohin Little Italy, the politics in the City(Continued on Page 4)writers to "go in" for dramatic criticism as they go in for essay-writingor the marketing of short-stories.They ought to study everything connected with the stage they can layhold on; they ought constantly to attend plays; they should attempt-andbury-one or two plays of their own;finally, they ought to write in advanced composition courses attemptafter attempt at serious criticism ofcurrent plays, and secure for theircritic that member of the English department best equipped to deal withwriting and with the play. Newspapers now pick up their critics at haphazard; they will eventually seektrained dramatic critics exactly asthey employ trained financial editorsand cartoonists. For the studentkeenly aware of the social implications of the play, who docs not feelthat he wants himself to become adramatic author, a limited but fascinating field seems to be to be slowly�ut1ining itself. As the colleges havetaken the drama seriously, so theymust eventually take the dramaticcritic seriously. The Use and Abuse of theCollege PressBy Earl Bondy.Fine standards of service may beestablished by any organization. Itsconstituency may be well served andbenefited by its workings. Yetthrough no fault of its own, that sameorganization may be abused and rendered incapable of giving its best efforts. Consideration of some of theuses to which the college press maybe PUt, and some abuses which itsuffers will be given here.College newspapers may first actas effective agencies for the trainingof journalists. With adequate facultj..supervision, such as is applied inschools of journalism, the college paper may become a real laboratory forthe embryo newspaper man. Therehe may get his practical experience;there he may experiment on the theories that have been thrown out tohim in the class room. Without thisfaculty control, training in newspaper fundamentals may still be secured:with a proper formulation of therules for the election or appointmentof the editors.But the college newspaper may alsobe a training school for the studentbody, With the definite formation ofa sane yet vigorous news and editor�al policy minus the sensationalism:tlnd display of the yellow journal,student opinion will begin to demandthe adoption of these same standardsby the metropolitan press. The finersensibilities of the college studentwill be appealed to. And the ultimate,effect will be seen in the graduate'sSUbscription list. Education to higherjournalistic ideals may be quite ef,fectively attained by the student bodyin this way.College newspapers are almost in'variably handled as student publications; and as such may be a meansfor the expression and exchange ofstudent opinions. The open discussion of the different aspects of a much,mooted question tends to bring intorelief the strongest pro and con argu.ments. The mere clarification of controversial questions of student lifewould justify the existence of the college daily. But this opportunity foropen forum action brings possibilitiesof other rewards to the student par'ticipating. The process of thinking aproposition through to a fair conclusion gives the student a feeler forhis intellectual capacity. He becomesaccustomed to clean cut reasoningand feels more independent and capable in considering debatable questions.I A concomitant of this transferpoint idea may be the fostering ofwhat is best in college life. The stu�ent newspaper can here throw theweight of its influence for good or forbad behind worthy features of campusaffairs. It may serve as a counter,poise for the evil effects of over-indulgence in extra-curricular activities. It may emphasize the meritorious and muzzle the vicious. It may�well be the guiding star of thecampus, though kept well under con,trol by the leveling influence of thestudent opinion finding expressionwithin its columns.And one of the brightest hopes thatcould be conceived as the result ofsuch journalistic sruidance would bejhe drawing into closer relationshipof the faculty members and students. Only too often the statement is heardthat an impassable space seems to,separate these two elements of theuniversity community; and it seemsto be said with some truth. Althoughwe of the West have gone further to:bring the two groups into closer contact than the East perhaps has, thereis still great room for nearer grouping. We do not seem to doubt thevalue of the intimate relationship ofinstructor with student now-a-days;.and yet we limit our efforts to an annual faculty dinner. A policy of coldaloofness on the part of faculty mem,bers whenever any fair criticism of.existing' educational systems is offered by the conscientious student canonly tend to widen the distance between the groups. A little unbendingon the part of the professor and alittle conceding on the part of the student will open the way for a goodwork by the college newspaper.The :foregoing statements havedealt with the possibilities of the uselof the press within the university itself. The world beyond the campusmay also be affected. Proper interpretation, whether it be in a fair, critical mood or by bald statement offact, of the university may readilypresent to the outsider a true conceptof our higher educational institutions.:This same onlooker, often unsympathetic and hypercritical, may therebyIbe pointed to a clear realization ofthe possibilities and facts of the un i�ersity. He, too, may become lessdistant and more co-operative.To achieve all this would surely be,accomplishing much. The college.press is capable of it-when not hand.icapped. Its uses are unlimited; butthe abuses it is made to suffer seem,equally boundless. To attempt apresentation, of them all would befolly. Yet some may be considered.Often the student editors and managers are directly responsible for the.abuses of the college press. The pernicious influence of yellow journalism,is allowed to creep in. Spread-eaglism in all its glory captures the frontJ>age and the eye and mind cxf thevacillating reader. In a recent issue,of a certain college daily every available line of space was given over forsporting news. Another college paper recently played up a murder story'with the special correspondence and�11 the attendant features of the yel.low journal. Such abuses lie at thesource and are traceable to the staffspf the papers themselves. Yet, evenin the face of such prostitutions, aneven more insidious practice is found.Direct and yet secret interference,by the university authorities themselves is stifiimr the freedom of the,college press. Fair and candid crit�cism of the warped conditions withjn the university is frowned upon.Our higher educational institutionsdo not like criticism; they desire to(present a good face to the world..And their two powerful weapons,withdrawal of subsidies and expulsionof recalcitrant students-arc sufficient (when used) to put down at-.tempts at a fair and equitable consideration of any really unrighteous educational maladjustments. And yetwe read in our Federal constitutionthat the private right of freedom of�he press shall not be abridged., Free development of the uses of thecollege press will be secured only byabolition of the abuses.What Is News and WhatIs NotBy Harry It, Swanson.What is news ':This is the simply-expressed l}U�Stion which ail prospective invaders ofthe journalistic field must correctlyanswer if they desire to succeed intheir chosen profession, In the attempt to give a concise and satisfactory reply to this Iittle query manydetailed and burdensome definitionshave been produced; a great deal offine ph iio sophy has been thrown onthe rocks; and as is usual when thereare definit ions galore, none of themTf:'a!!y defines.In this connection it is interestingto know that the profession which ismost intimately acquainted with thispuzz ling question and its many variable solutions is, in the majority,we.I ag-reed upon the essential qualifications. Pick up the leading metropolitan newspapers of one certainday and note the striking similarityin the stories that are set forth tobe digested by the readers from theAtlantic to the Pacific. In many instances the front pages of the severaldailies present an almost identical appearance.The members of the journalisticprofession have a keen sense for news-that is their most precious possession, and the one essential whichcommands the monthly check-yetthey would be at a loss were theyasked to give an accurate definitionof the word, the most important wordin their vocabulary. The fact thatnumerous journalists wander all overthe globe in their numerous capacitiesas successful hunters of news provesthat there must be some bed-rockfoundation of a quality which distinguishes news from that which cannot be correctly tabulated under theword.Still there exists a considerablevariance of opinion among experienced journalists as to the relativenews qualities of specific stories.There is often argument as to whether a certain story has any newsvalue at all or not.The late Richard Harding Davis,when asked to define the term replied, "I can give you no betteranswer than the one on which wewere brough up in the Sun office. Mr.Dana used to say, 'When a dog bitesa man, that is not news; but when aman bites a dog, that is news.'"This clever reply embodied sometruth, but when one considers thegreat amount of space which is oftendevoted to stories of mad dogs andthe effects of their ravages, it becomes obvious that the definition isnot accurate.A reporter on the New York World,when asked the question, replied thatnews is that \, .. hich will interest amajority of any community, andtherefore is only a relative term. Inresponse to the same query proposedto a well-known publication in theSouth, the fol!owil�g- reply was �iven:":\e\\'� is the report of whateveracts or (,':(,pi:-; affec� the gencl'al welfare or arc �o �haracteri�tic of life(thou�h ('xtl'aordinary) as to represent : hr' pos ...:ihk e:q)('rienc .. � ofa:1.

The fact that a story of crime is news, while a fair day isnot, implies no reflection on the universe:'The world differentiates betweenIll'WS and history, news and fiction,news and philosophy, news and gossip, and news and poetry. Yet newsmay be either history, fiction, philosophy, gossip or poetry. In their recent volume on "Essentials in Journalism," Harrington and Frankenburtr define these terms in the following paragraphs:"History is recognized as a chronide of events past or passing, esteemed to be of sufficient interest tothe present and to the future generations to warrant setting down. Truthis an essential attribute to all realhistory which concerns itself, generally, with persons and acts and policiesof government... Fiction is recognized as a chronicleof . events more or less imaginary incharacter or imaginary in their relations one to another."Gossip consists in repeating allevents, however trivial, true or untrue, which relates essentially to theindividual, and to his conduct, privateor public."Poetry, in its essence, is a statement, wherein unusual, beautiful andheroic attributes of man and natureare set forth in a manner calculatedto develop and enhance these attributes in others. Idealization ratherthan literal truth is the province ofpoetry.Where :x ews Comes Forward."Yet the accounts of proceeding ofCongress in the consideration of abill of national importance is at oncehistory and news. In the circles offinance, politics and diplomacy it frequently becomes the province of thewriter of news to state such facts orconditions as he is able to find, andplace them in what seems to himtheir natural or most significant combination. In this work he is discharging all the functions of the writer of literature, and yet what hewrites is news and often good news."From Plato to Kant, thoughtfulmen have expressed their innermostconvictions on the problems of life,and men have called it philosophy,but when the business men of the dayor politicians of the state expresstheir convictions on the problems ofthe hour, it is potential philosophyand positive news."Poetry, aside from those occasiona I effusions of temporary or local interest touching upon some specifice\'ent, which often find their way intoprint, is concerned with the big, heroic things of existence. �owhere dothe heroic things of life receive moreattention than in the newspaper offiice. Nothing is more eagerly ormore extensively chronicled than exaet:y such conduct as has been embalmed in the immortal phrases of"The Char�e of the Light Brigade" or'Ho;-atius at the Bridge'."Thus we see that news may be inturn history, literature, philosophy,g'(ls�ip or poetry. It must follow thatit is not a definite thir.g, hut a (jualityof a thing, C'onsi<lcr as a quality.:lnd not as a fjuantity. the definitionof the term becomes easier.

During their recent engagement at the Playhouse inNew York, Miss George and her company produced five plays: two byShaw-"Major . Barbara" and "Captain Brassbound's Conversion," Jones'"The Liars", Fagan's "The Earth",and Langdon Mitchell's "The New'York Idea". These productions represent the American repertory movement at its height of sanity and artistry.Were I as skilled as Mr. HowardJones in the art of exhortation, Ishould make this review a plea forUniversity attendance at the Garrickduring Miss George's tenancy CY!. thattheater. But I haven't that skill, andbesides, Bernard Shaw, Grace George,and "Major Barbara" should be wellable to take care of themselves evenin the wilds of Chicago.Although written ten years ago,"Major Barbara" 'has a peculiarlytimely interest. The backgroundagainst which the play moves is SirAndrew Undershaft's munitions factory. Sir Andrew defends his cannons and the destruction' they dealwith the assertion that there is onlyone real crime-poverty--and that aslong as" half-way measures only aretaken to remedy the evil, it will be ag-gravated, not cured.Barbara, Undershaft's daughter,has joined the Salvation Army. Shehas ,the soul of a London tough within her grasp, when the Anny, in desperate straits, accepts large sums ofmoney from Undershaft himself, andfrom a notoriously _wealthy brewer.The tOugh turns from Barbara cynically, and scoffing at the army's peculiar ethieal,code, leaves her. Barbara's faith is broken> She realizesthe apparent futility� of the Anny'swork-she sees that her father's con-. tribution of money and her own contribution' of personal service are bothonly means of iurther debasing the lower classes. At least that is whatShaw would have us see she sees."Major Barbara" more nearly resembles an orthodox play than domost of Shaw's works. It is not sofunny as some, put quite as stimulating and thought-provoking as any.Its want of epigram is compensatedfor by a solidity of substance and arather persuasive inevitability of logic. The surrender of Barbara andher lover to the munitions faetory isa capitulation with the element of theidealistic in it, and not of apiece with the supremely sardonie ending of "Widowers' Houses".The play, being Shaw's, is talky, yetit seldom drags, and nowhere is it asdesultory as were spots in "Andraeles'", which is a much shorter play.Miss George's company has attained an almost perfect ensemble. On• !\londay night, Herbert Druce as Undershaft, was ill at ease in both linesand character. He probably knowshis lines now, but his characterizationis ponderous, uninspired, and, I am-sure, quite unlike what Shaw wouldhave it be. Mr. Druce fails to communicate the man's superb intellectual side; nor does he endow Undershaft with a proper sense of humor.Lewis, Edgard as-Bill Walker drawsa full length portrait of - a viciouscockney type, and in doing so, comesas near to perfection as human actorcan ever hope to aehieve. Ernest Lawford is well cast as Adolphus, Barbara's whimsical lover." John Cromwell as Charles Lomax, although alittle inclined to burlesque his roleis quite effective.Miss:.e, of eourse, plays Barbara, and in a part admitting of various interpretations, gives a painstaking picture. of a wistful, troubled,spirituelle girl-a characterization\Vhich.. while in no way remarkable, isadmirable for its reticence and sincerity •. Charlotte Granville is attractive .aa Lady Britomart. "Major Barbara" reveals, on the whole, one of thebest balanced organizations I haveseen in a long tlme. With' her fine'company, her clean-cut stage management, her tasteful settings, and herdelightful plays, MisS George shoulddispense joy among us for a loiigtime to come. .{("BLACKFRIARS GIVE13m ANNUAL PLAYTONIGHT IN MANDEL(Continued from Page 1)changed his allegiance to the otherparty, receives them.
