MAROON.Because it feels that emphasisshould be placed on versatility rath­er than on high attainment in schol­arship 'alone,' The Colgate Maroon,one of our worthy contemporaries, asethical college editors say, believesthat Phi Beta Kappa should changeits, requirements for election. If you,are one of those unfortunate indi­'viduals, or maybe fortunate �the op­ion diff;rs according to the gradesone has) that is not being rushed bythis old national' fraternity, you willprobably agree heartily with the sug­gestions of the Colgate press. Ifou think over the matter really seri­ously, you feel inclined to smile. Hereis the editorial:"Increasingly insistent cries havebeen raised during recent years that'elections to Phi Beta Kappa shouldbe maed on a different basis. Frommany sources has come the' argument. that; the fraternity should foster notscholarship alone; but scholarship as­sociated with 'active participation inextra-curriculum activities. Those fa-, voring such a basis of election urge. that the present standards of Phi Be��ppa offer altogether too great in­ducemant to "grinds," and far too fewto the truly brilliant and versatilemen."In answer to these arguments havecome not a few statements to the ef­fect that versatility and general abil­should have his kind of reward for'tis variety of work. Such is the, skeleton of the opposition raisedagainst any new plan of election,"With the reasoning of the oppo­sition The Maroon is included to dis­agree. The proposed plan is not onelikely to tum Phi Beta Kappa ,"l.to anational senior society. So far asThe Maroon knows the suggestedstandard of election has little in com­mon with the supposed standards ofthe many local senior honorary or­ganizations, This is even more ap­parent when, with that in mind, weview the several delegations of sen­ior societies of the past college' gen­eration. Key men they have had, itis tr.1e; but, in general, these seniorshave scarcely been identical with thePhi Beta Kappa men of their respec­tive classes."Nor is the proposed plan of re­wa rd such that it is not a fit meansof aonoring scholarly a:tai_lentsThere surely can be no more- notabledistinction than that enjoyed by theman who is c](�\'er enough to studyand jo other things at the same time.Such a man is beyond doubt one ofrare intellectual attainments, cer­tainly far above the order of the one­track mind. :\len of that type, per­sons of �tel1ar mental capacity, aresupposedly those whom Phi BetaKappa desire to honor and because th('suggested method of choice docs tend 'to the honoring of versatility, hc- Iity already have their stimulus in'lthe shape of the senior society. If !the versatile of the college are to 'Ihave a partiCUlar reward in !,heir fieldof endeavor, then it is equally just Ithat the burner of the midnight oil • ticulnr field in any unive�ity at­tempts to develop the power of think­ing in the students, The �ontribu­tion of the Department of PublicSpeaking here is in atimulating' thestudent to think OBJECTIVELY sothathis audience as M. A. M. says"immediately" gets his point. Think­ing of the kind that when presentedlinks up the closest with the au­dience's past thinking and sinks thewithin' the shortest amount of timeand with the least objection on theaudience's part-this is the kind ofthinking which the department ofPublic Speaking .here develops. Anathough, of course, during all the pre­ceding weeks of the quarter speechesare delivered in Public Speaking (1)-the only course which I understand,Mr. Snyder, has taken-these speechesa veraging two a week and sometime')three a week for each member of theclass, yet during the' last three orfour weeks of the quarter, delivery asa science in itself is discussed andapplied. This is increasingly true ofthe higher courses.Finally, a few words about Phillip'sEffective Speaking. In your first ar­ticle you call Phillips a' babbler. Inyour second article you declare thathe has but given new terms to theprinciples of Herr'ick and Damon andLinn. Apparently' you espouse Her­rick' and Damon" and Linn as Wise.How now can 'you condemn Phillipsas foolish. Also, from these elemeri­tary courses in Rhetoric and Logicwith which :YOtl profess famili�rity,you must have learned the rule: "Donot generalize :f�om insuft"icient date,"Apply it. Do not generalize, 'fromthe -Four Forms of Support. Con­sider Action and the Imjielling Mo­tives, Entertainment .and the Fac­tors of Interestingness, Reference' toExperience and Cumulation, State­ment of Aim and Central Idea; Andconsider them in their relations, forthat is Phillips' contribution. You,speak of the departments of Public,Speaking in the Eastern schools turn­ing out better speakers; Mr. Snyder, ,beware of matrieulajing at Columbia, or �t Yale or at Cornell or at Wil­liams, four of the leading Easternschools for there they will place inyour hands the despised Phillips.

The·games' have been well contested andthe interest has been keen."Basketball seems to have becomethe leading sport in the high schools,judging by the number of men whohave come out for the Freshmanteam," said Coach Page. "Their areseveral men playing on the interclassteams who should make good �ar­sity material. We are also developingfootball men for next season.Any One l\lay Play."Beside providing material for theteam, the Interclass series gives anopportunity for anyone to play onthe teams.
