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.

Deutsch,"Parturient musi; nascitur mons."In order thoroughly to impress thereader with the need for a well-or­deri-d school of Journalism at theUniversity of Chicago, let us beginwith a platitude: Many a great ideahad an humble origin.This is a free translution and mayserve to demonstrate the need of anextension of the Latin curriculumrather than the need for a well-order­ed school for journalism, Never mind.If Caesar had understood the valueof a proper lead he would never haveopened his "story" with wGallia estornnes divisa in partes tres," and ifXenophon had appreciated the read­able nature of well written H. I.stuff he would have forgotten someof his "Enteuthen exclaunci." 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. Poems appear to he par­ticularly recommended when t.hev areset in a different type face, itali�. forexample, and enclosed in a borderjudicious ly selected.

The best solution of this diffi­culty is to sort the overflow materialas carefully as posvihle, save the bestto weep over, lock the rest in a bigbox and ship it to the Allies.

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. Takingthe definitions given among newspa­per men as to what constitutes news,and considering- the ohseryation re­g-arding the "ar;ous forms which newsmay assume, it becomes apparent thatnews is that characteristic of any THE s U PP L E M.�E:...:N:..:....:T _How Thev Handle the BigStory.(Continued from Page :nNo word has ever been receivedfrom the intrepid seaman, and, itwa-, stated t oda y ill court circles, onexcellent authority, no word was ex­peered.From the Barcelona Evening Amer­ican, December 13, 1492:In a lonely room at the gorgeousSeville palace, a beautiful, gorgeouslygowned woman is' weeping."How could I know'!" she sobs tothe four walls of her rich chamber."\\'Il\' didn't t h e v warn m« it w oul dend iikc this '!" .Queen Isabella, but yesterday aproud dowager, is alone in the Palaceat Seviilc today.

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.
