UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1926 FEATURESINTERVIEWSSETTLEMENT DRIVE NETS $4749Women s Clubs Consider Plan for Third Year RushingGROUPS REVIEWSENIOR COLLEGECLUB PROPOSALMrs. Flint Explains PlanAs Originating In Inter-Club CouncilBy MADGE C. CHILD“The third year rushing plan, pro¬viding for senior college women’sclubs, originated in the Inter-clubcouncil and is in no way being im¬posed on by the faculty,” Mrs. EdithFoster Flint, chairman of the Wom¬en’s University council, explained.“The plan arose out of the deep dis¬satisfaction felt at the end of the1925 rushing season, and must be ac¬cepted by all the clubs before it goesinto effect.”A committee was appointed by Inter¬club council to consider ways andmeans of doing away with the evils ofthe ten day rushing system. Thiscommittee asked Mrs. Flint, Mrs.Robert V. Merrill, Social Directors,and Miss Gertrude Dudley, directorof physical education, to assist them,not in making out a new set of rush¬ing rules, but in evolving a schemewherein rushing, as such, could bedone away with. Autry, FreshmanChairman, TakesRole of RescuerW’hen one is invited to a picnic“just to be handy and fix tires,” it isquite thrilling to change the prosaicinto the romantic.Daniel Autry, president of theFreshman Board of Management, hadsuch an experience last summer. Itwas cold, too cold for swimming, butsomeone convinced Daniel by calling,“Come on in. You might have achance to save one of the girls fromdrowning.”Laughingly looking forward to thepossibilities, he plunged in. A fewminutes later there was a frantic callfor help. On of the girls was drown¬ing. When he got to the spot shehad already gone down twice. Shegreeted him with a death grip—Daniel hasn’t decided which yet. Aswim of some fifty feet, however,brought the couple safely to shore.And Daniel’s been recommended fora Carnegie medal.LIST SIXTEEN PHIBETE UNDERGRADSMeyer, Hahn, Smith andClemens Head GroupCommittee Explains Plan“The joint committee has beenworking on the plan continuouslythroughout the year, and has come tothe conclusion that senior college clubsoffer the best solution of the prob¬lem,” continued Mrs. Flint. “By sen¬ior college clubs, we mean that nowoman will be taken into a club untilthe end of her sophomore year. Inthis way, we hope to do away withrushing. In the first place, I do notbelieve it is humanly possible for anygroup of girls to rush for two years,and in the second place, a few daysof intensive rushing would not havemuch effect on a woman who has beenon campus for two years.The recent change made in the de¬tails of the plan came at the sugges¬tion of several club women. Accord¬ing to the new idea, pledging will takeplace at the end of the third quarterof the sophomore year instead of thebeginning of the junior year as pre¬viously decided.State Pledging RequirementsUpperclass women who have hadtwo years’ work in some other college,regardless of the number of majorsadvanced standing received, may, un¬der the proposed plan, be pledged atthe end of their first quarter. Womenentering with less than two years’work will be pledged on the samebasis.“There has been a rumor on cam¬pus,” said Mrs. Flint, “that by thisPlan, the faculty hope eventually todo away with clubs. Nothing couldbe farther from the truth. Clubs willgain in prestige and influence.”“If this plan,” Mrs. Flint concluded,“could be put through, originating, asit did, in the women themselves, madeto spread by their efforts throughfree discussion, and voted on by theclubs as autononous bodies, it shouldbe regarded as a great triumph forstudent broadmindedness, intelligenceand self-government.” Elections and graduation have leftsixteen members in the Universityundergraduate Phi Beta Kappa.Early in the quarter Albert Meyerwas elected president and Alice Hahn,Ruth Clemens, and Cecil Smith werechosen aiding executives.. The present members of the organ¬ization are John Barnet, Ruth Clem¬ens, Helen Engle, Irene Erp, HerbertGeisler, Arthur Giess, Alice Hahn,Margaret ioatt, Morris Lipcovitz, Al¬bert Meyer, Earnes Robinson, HarryRuskin, Cecil Smith, Samuel Spira,Aliver Vogel, and Louise Watson. COUNCILS INSPIRECLASS SPIRIT BYDINNERS, MIXERSSeniors and Sophs ChooseInsignias* Juniors, FroshStill UnmarkedLuncheons, dinners, mixers andclass insignias as means of inspiringclass spirit have been planned by therespective councils of the fourclasses for the remainder of theacademic year.Social life of the year was startedoff with a bang by a completed re¬union of the whole Senior class ata dinner, December 10, in the sunparlor of Ida Noyes hall. Canes car¬ried by senior men on Thursdays,Senior chapel day, have provenSenior spirit.The Junior class council has plan¬ned a luncheon for the first of nextquarter, the date to be announcedlater. An all-University mixer willbe given by the Juniors Winterquarter also.Members of the Sophomorecouncil have devised something en¬tirely new at the University for theirclass insignia. Crimson feathers,ten inches long, to be worn in thehats of sophomore men and womenalike, were sold in chapel last Tues¬day.Daniel Autrey, chairman of theFreshman Board of Management an¬nounces a Freshman party, todayfrom 7:30 to 10 in the sun parlorand theater of Ida Noyes hall.MRS. M. LOGSDON TORETURN TO COLLEGESAS DEAN, INSTRUCTORMrs. Mayme Irvin Logsdon, a for¬mer Dean in the colleges at the Uni¬versity, will return next quarter totake up her duties here. For thepast year and a half she has beenstudying mathematics in Italy. Mostof her time was spent in Rome, ex¬cept for a brief visit in Greece atEaster time.Formerly Mrs. Logsdon held thepositions of Dean, Head of Green¬wood hall, the woman’s residentialhall across the Midway, and instruc¬tor in mathematics. She returns totake up all of these duties.Prof. F. J. Miller,Early Instructor AndDean Visits CampusProfessor Frank Justin Miller, oneof the first instructors in the Univer¬sity, has been back on campus for afew days visiting old friends andfamiliar places. He retired from hisduties as professor of Latin and Deanin the colleges in the spring of 1925.Foremost in the work which Pro¬fessor Miller did here are his trans¬lations of “Seneca’s Tragedies” and“Ovid.” At the beginning of the nextsemester, Professor Miller will teachLatin at the University of Io>ra. Does the “ChainAnd Ball”BallFrighten Co-eds?“Why are there so few engagedgirls on campus?” questions theBuchtelite, official student newspaperof the University of Akron.“It is that the ball and chain at¬tachment doesn't appeal to eithersex, or is the slogan of the moderncollege woman, ‘Love Them All’?”asks the newspaper while searchingfor the explanation of this strangesituation.Headlines announcing that “Onlyfourteen per cent of the women oncampus are wearing fraternity pins”appeared in the daily. A censustaken by interested members of thestaff revealed that one sorority hadno engaged members while othershad very few.The situation on the Universitycampus does not appear to be so de¬plorable however. While no actualcanvas has been made there are anotable number of fraternity pins onthe dresses of campus women, parti¬cularly among the juniors andseniors. Each June brings forthcampus couples who have decided totolerate each other for life, and, oc¬casionally an undergraduate pairtake the trek to the altar.C. and A. StudentsHosts At MixerStudents in the College of Com¬merce and Administration will behosts at an All-University mixer to¬day from 4 to 6 in Room 105 of theC. and A. building. Dancing and re¬freshments have been planned underthe direction of Rachel Marshal. Women’s Organizations Accomplish1Aim of Campus Friendliness WithQuarter’s Programs and ProjectsPrograms and entertainmentsgiven by each of the three women’sorganizations, Y. W. C. A., Federa¬tion, and W. A. A. have throughoutthe quarter aimed, aside from fol¬lowing their individual projects, tobring about a feeling of friendlinessbetween the women on campus.Discussions which have been in thenature of a preparation for the Na¬tional Council of Christian Associa¬tion have held the interest of thefirst cabinet of L. W. C. A. Thewomen in their talks have attemptedto analize the campus situation tosee what relation religion has tocampus life.Second CabinetSecond cabinet which is made upof a group of women who are activeon the various committees have beenfor the first time concentrating onstudies of the personality of Jesus.Federation’s function in campuslife has been more recessive thanactive. During the autumn quarterthe organization has held five meet¬ings, at two of which the women dis¬cussed campus personalities and tJie“Ints and Outs” of Ida Noyes. Asing comprised one meeting in whichnumerous University and collegesongs were sung. The culminationof the activities was in the form of abanquet which was held in celebra¬tion of Federation’s one hundrethopen meeting.W. A. A. planned its social activ¬ities either before or after the foot¬ball games. Torch, which is heldannually, was in the form of a pepsession preceding the Ohio game.The night before the Northwesterngame was featured by the ChicagoNight banquet; and following an an¬nual custom, the members of W. A.A. entertained the women from theWisconsin chapter at a luncheon pre¬ceding the Wisconsin game.EL CIRCULO ESPANOLPRESENTS OLD PLAYAT IDA NOYES HALLScenes from an old Spanish Christ¬mas play written in 1544 will be pre¬sented at the final meeting of El Cir-culo Espanol today at 4:30 in thenorth reception room of Ida Noyeshall.Tonight the club as a group willattend a concert given by the Mexi¬can Pipica at Orechestra hall.

Pres. Mason TalksAt Columbus TodayPresident Max Mason is visit¬ing at Columbia, Ohio today as theguest of the Columbia-Chicagoclub.“Substitutes for Experience” isthe subject President Mason haschosen for his address to the mem¬bers of the Chamber of CommerceForum at the noon meeting. Inthe evening the Faculty club ofthe state University has madeplans for a reception and a din¬ner to be given in his honor.President Mason is planning to re¬turn to Chicago tomorrow.FRESHMEN WOMENREORGANIZE CLUB MARSHALL ANDVAN FELT LEADWINNING TEAMSNineteen Co-Chairmen AndTwenty Squads AidCook and HallCompile Constitution; SelectNew Council MembersFreshman Women's club, originatedin 1921 by the S^n of the Sickle, wasnot systematically regulated untilthis yr. when a constitution for its or¬ganization was definitely compiledand accepted.^ Adelaide Ames, El¬eanor Wilkins, and Dorothy Kennedywere chosen by the Board of Women’sOrganizations to write the constitu¬tion.In order to include a representativegroup of freshman women, a councilof twenty-four, consisting of twelvenon-club and twelve club women hasbeen chosen.The women selected or the councilthis year are: Elizabeth Baldridge,Phi Beta Delta; Frances Bennett,Sigma; Claire Davis, Chi Rho Sigma;Olive Deuter, Achoth; Helen Eskstein,May Friend, May Frost, Delta Sig¬ma; Elizabeth Galt, Aileen Gurk-hardt, Deltho; Rosalind Hamm, Quad-rangler; Jean Hanvey, Wyvern; MaryHerzog, Phi Delta Upsilon; WinifredHeal, Mortar Board; Frances Holmes,Virginia Holton,, Marianna Irwin,Margaret Newton, Esoteric; MurielParker, Marcella Rivers, Betty Rouse,Catherine Scott, Frances Tatge, PiDelta Phi; and Eunice Woods.With one good quarter behind it,the freshmen women, according toEleanor Wilkins plan a fast and arapid pace for next spring. The ideaof including both club women andnon-club women in equal groups,makes the group truly representativeof the class. There are a greaternumber of women on campus who arenot in organized groups than thereare men. No date has been set forthe first meeting of the Council inthe Winter quarter. With net proceeds of $4,749.08,the twenty-second annual drive forthe University settlement came to anend, Saturday, December 11. Ex¬penses amounted to $475, over onehundred dollars less than last year.Herberta Van Pelt and John Mar¬shall were captains of the teamsbringing in the most donations.Both winning teams had totals ofover $500. The two teams coming insecond were headed by Ruth Holmesand Burton McRoy, with $321 and$367 respectively. Altogether thetwenty teams turned in $3,342.20,the ten women’s teams making onehundred dollars more than the men.List Committee ChairmenEsther Cook and Parker Hall,general chairmen of the drive, wereassisted by the following co-chair¬men: finance, Frances Kendall andHolmes Boynton; vaudeville, Mar¬garet Carr and Clyde Keutzer; dona¬tion, Betsy Farwell and CharlesCowan; decorations, Isabel Bate$and John Meyer; tea dances,Catherine Fitzgerald and Jack Stam-baugh; tag day, Virginia Gartsideand John McDonough; program, Wil¬fred Heitman and Charles Warner;music, Allis Graham and JamesWebster; publicity, Deimer Lee.The actual proceeds from Settle-men Night were $1,013.12. This in¬cluded gate receipts, vaudeville,booths, the dance in the Commons,and the sale of programs, tickets,and flowers. Other sources were tagday, tea dances, and balloon sales atfootball games.Organizations AidThe booths in the cloisters ofMandell hall were managed by IronMask, Skull and Crescent, Score club,Sign of the Sickle and the Sopho¬more class.Boxes for the two vaudevilleswere held by Mrs. Algernon Cole¬man, Mrs. Ernst Freund, Mrs. EdgarGoodspeed, Mrs. J. P. Hall, Mrs.Horace Koessler, Mrs. A. C. Mc¬Laughlin, Mrs. W. A. Nitze, Mrs. A.W. Sherer, Mrs. Harold Swift, Mrs.Russell Wiles, Mrs. J. G. Wilson.WOMEN’S BOARD IS“CLEARING HOUSE”FOR ORGANIZATIONSStieglitz ConcludesSeries of LecturesProessor Julius Stieglitz of the de¬partment of Chemistry will lecturetonight at 6:45 in Fullerton hall ofthe Art Institute. The subject of hislecture will be “The Nature of Chem¬ical Processes.” This talk will con¬clude the series of public lectures con¬ducted by the University at the ArtInstitute. As a “clearing house” for the prob¬lems arising in the three major wom¬en’s groups, the Board of Women’sOrganizations prevents the over-lap-ping and duplicating of activitiesamong them.With the presidents and secretariesof the Y. W. C. A., Federation, andW. A. A., and five representativemembers at large composing it, theboard has been of great service oncampus. It is definitely representedby a member on the UndergraduateCouncil.Among the activities which theWomen’s Board of Organizations par¬ticipate in with the aid of majorgroups is the orientation of first yearwomen during Freshman week in re¬gard to their social relationships.A complete program of the year’sactivities, as aranged by the threemain organizations, receives verifica¬tion from the Women’s Board beforepublication, thus preventing duplicat¬ing.\idKttt' iin I in" i 'r ■amubMlkt)- *•; -Hsi ..... • iV JW'fftfrfilifaMi-Mr t . ..

To be a pioneer is glorious, however, ands its own reward.On a gray and sodden day in October, Idisembarked from the sea-going cable-cars atFifty-eighth street, into the mud of Cottageirove avenue, and looked across three empty,locks to one row of gray stone buildings,brightened at that moment by a sudden shaft„• sunshine. There was the University! Ivvent across the campus to Foster hall, buthe carpenters were still busy there and no-,ody could get in. So for three weeks I shared, single room in Kelly hall with another girl.Social Life InformalIn spite of the almost laughable informalityjt life, there was no lack of social grace. Ihave been familiar with college life in manylovely places, but never where a more charm-j„g or a more dignified tone prevailed thanat Chicago in the early days. President andMrs. William Rainey Harper, Mrs. Palmer,Miss Elizabeth Wallace, Miss Marion Talbot,Mr. and Mrs. Vincent, Mr. and Mrs. Angell,Mr. Tarbell, Mr. Shorey, Mr. and Mrs. HarryPratt Judson, and Mr. and Mrs. William D.MacClintock,—these are some of the peoplewho made our social life, so many of whomare gone now.Enjoy ActivitiesAlthough the variety of “activities” hasmultiplied, we had enough. We often wentout on afternoons in Spring to watch thepractice of the baseball team, and we werewell-informed, every one of us, on the indi¬vidual prowess and capabilities of all the play¬ers. It was the same in football. Time andagain we saw our team meet older, heavier,nore powerful, and more experienced teamsand fight to the finish with nothing to go onhut pure courage and good coaching, and weadored them for it.The first great Settlement Benefit was the“Deceitful Dean,” a musical comedy fromthe fertile brain of Professor George Vincent,who had the happy faculty of sitting downat his typewriter, and “turning on the jokes,”he said, and the supply never gave out.Collegians’ MusingIs Future PoetryBy ROSELLE F. MOSSWhile the collegian engages himself in idlemusing—dashing off bits of verse at Poetryclub meetings or in economic classes—thereare fermenting the ingredients of anotherShakespeare.This, at least, is the belief of Harriet Mon¬roe. anthologist and editor of the magazineor verse, “Poetry.”Poetry Clubs Aid“Four colleges, in fact, are outstanding inthe fine work which their poetry clubs havecontributed. They are located at the Univer¬sity of Chicago, Mt. Holyoke College forGirls, and the Universities of Waco and Dal¬las, Texas,” she continued. “Because of col¬lege poetry clubs contributions to intercol¬legiate contests and magazines are numerousand some real poetry is unearthed.”(Continued on page 6)By LOIS MITCHELLChristmas! And all the attendant gaietiesof the holiday season. To the feminine por¬tion of the population this time of the yearmeans smething more than the exchange ofgifts and good wishes. Clothes. Magicalword, which to the ladies is expressed interms of velvets, satins, and furs; and to thehusbands and fathers in terms of bills.Formals Are Elaboratehold the center of the stage. Black is veryFor evening wear brocades and chiffonssmart, but the softer colors are of equal im¬portance. Greens and blues predominate, andthe trimming is elaborate. Beads of everysize and shape, sequins and pailetts and richembroideries are the favorites. Evening wrapsare of luxuriously soft velvet or exoticallycolored brocade, lavishly trimmed with fur. ASH’S THEATRESECRETS TOLDHow does Paul Ash continue to producea different show each week? This question inthe minds of many who are regular Paul Ashfans has been answered by a member of hisorchestra, A1 Kvale, first saxophonist and as¬sistant conductor.“Once in two months,” said Mr. Kvale,“Louis McDermott, production manager, andPaul Ash get together and figure out theshows for several weeks in advance. The ma¬terial for the single acts is often the resultof the Friday afternoon try-outs, held byMr. Ash, in which anyone may present astage skit for approval. Paul Ash is alwaysglad to give the amateur a chance. If theyare successful, he either books them in hisshow or in some other show.”In answer to the question as to what be¬comes of the scenery after the show is over,it was found that first it travels with the unitshows in a regular circuit. This circuit hasbeen established since the Famous Playerscorporation and Balaban & Katz mergedinto the Publix Theatres corporation.Mr. Kvale js now the only remaining mem¬ber of the original orchestra. During per¬formances just sitting up straight and actinglike a dignified musician began to get monot¬onous for Mr. Kvale, so he conceived the ideaof kidding the actors on the stage. The audi¬ence laughed so much at this that it was in¬corporated as a part of the show.Explain Origin ofCampus TraditionsBy MABEL FERGUSONTraditions! Why is it that we think somuch of them? They are decidedly4intangible,yet their significance as unwritten lav/s ofthe University is so prevalent that it makesitself a dominant factor in the conduct of theUniversity students.The senior class bench was given to theUinversity by the class of ’96 with the under¬standing that no one but seniors should siton it—and “woe unto those others that do!”“C” Bench Near CobbSpeaking of benches there is another onearound which tradition is centered. It is the“C” bench given by the class of 1903. Somepeople have the mistaken idea that women arenot to sit on this bench. Please forget it, forthe women contributed to it liberally, and thenight before Convocation those from the hallsjoined by others used to serenade the build¬ings and conclude their program by gatheringat the “C” bench.Possibly one of the most powerful tradi¬tions is that of the chimes. When Alice Free¬man Palmer gave them to the University,Coach A. A. Stagg contributed to them thatthey might be rung each night, and in 1908it was arranged that every night, at five min¬utes after ten o’clock, the chimes should sendout over the quadrangles the Alma Mater.Mitchell Tower SealDon’t step on the University seal on thefloor of Mitchell Tower, is one of the well-known ones.And of course we can’t forget our babytraditions such as the Senior cane day everyThursday and the Sophomore crimsonfeathers for Tuesday dress.Don’t think that the college man should beconspicuous; he should differ from the crowdin having better taste and better judgment,but not through attracting more attention.For less formal wrear plain, little darkdresses are marked by attractive lines andmaterials rather than trimming. Calf-skincoats are very new, and many of the shopsare showing pocket-books and shoes tomatch them. Sport clothes cling to the two-piece mdels, and the bright flannels and kas¬has are most attractive.* Window Displays AttractiveThe woman who goes to town to do herbelated Christmas shopping will find herselfhesitating before the gorgeous displays inshop windows. She would have to be ofthe calibre of the Spartan lad who alloweda fox to gnaw at his vitals to resist, “just acloser view of the lovely gown inside.” Onceinside she is lost, for never before have thedesigners and couturiers so ingeniously pre¬sented their creations for the enticement ofthe “weaker sex.” Jazz-Phobia, MassAffliction—OpinionOf M. BoguslawskiBy RUTH G. DANIEL“Jazz-phobia, the cultural disease of themasses, is the creation of a sensually hungrymob,” Moissaye Boguslawski, “Pianist of thePeople,” declared.Explaining mode fully the term he has coinedto apply to the so-called “obscene in music,”Mr. Boguslawski emphatically asserted thatthe feeling for jazz music was not created bythe musician, but, rather, for the most part,by the people—by a people who have a cer¬tain hunger within them.Popularity of Saxophone“About seven or eight years ago,” he as¬serted, “the saxophone was made popular al¬most overnight. Always the instrument ofamusement to the musician, it was treatedmore or less as a joke. And suddenly it be¬came the instrument of the people; suddenlyit began to feed the musical senses of anation.“Indubitably there is something radicallywrong with the emotions of people who notonly desire such a sound, but seem to actuallyhunger for distortions of our musical scale. Inour public schools we provide for mental testswhere literacy! and sanity and citizenshipqualifications of men and women can be deter¬mined. In the same way, I maintain, thereshould be a test for jazz-phobia.”Find Remedy in ChopinThe administering of the classic, Mr. Bo¬guslawski holds, is not the necessary anti¬dote for the njusic condition that prevailsin the the world today. He finds an effectiveand capable remedy, rather, in the wealth ofeasy, pleasant, and entertaining melodies ofChopin and Brahms.Characterized by W. J. Henderson, theeminent New York critic, as “One of the fiveof the new generation’s richly endowed pian¬ists,” and by Vladimir de Pachmann as “Oneof the greatest artists in America,” MoissayeBoguslawski—who learned much of his artfrom Rudolph Ganz—is fast becoming a re¬nowned figure of modern pianistic art.SOCIALL Y SPEAKINGSkull and Crescent and Score club com¬bined this year to make one less all-Univer-sity affair, but one more good party to addto our list. There is no question that it wasa better dance this year. As to the biggerpart, it was almost too well attended for com¬fort.Interfraternity BallFollowing a tradition of some years’ stand¬ing, we all gathered, the night before Thanks¬giving, at the annual Interfraternity ball. Itwas at the Shoreland this year, and everyoneseemed to approve the selection of a ballroom near campus. Bobby Meeker’s orches¬tra, the principal reason for the weekly mi¬gration to the Drake, competed with theWolverines to furnish good music. “Competi¬tion is the life of trade” and, we might add,orchestras. An attractive innovation was theserving of a breakfast of waffles and sausagesin the Grill.Settlement Night was a “Circus” this year.The decorations carried out the idea well,and were colorful and different. The vaude¬ville was not quite up to previous standards,but was amusing and had several exception¬ally good acts, some new, and some veryfamiliar.Club and Fraternity DancesClub and fraternity parties were numerous,both formal and informal. The annual three-way party, given jointly by Alpha Delt; Psi Uand Deke fraternities; perhaps heads the listof formals. Although competing with theArmy and Navy ball, the success of the partywas not impaired.Esoteric, Wyvern, Mortar Board, Phi BetaDelta, Quadrangular, Achoth, and Phi DeltaPhi all had formal parties during Novemberand December. These, combined with the fra¬ternity house dances that enliven every week¬end, completed a rather hectic but altogetherenjoyable social season.As we are considering campus social high¬lights, we must mention the Army-Navy ballon the Friday night preceding the annualfootball game. While it was not a strictlycampus affair, so many prominent men andwomen undergraduates attended that it mightbe classified as such. The ball started with adinner at the Drake hotel, with a dance in theballroom following. *PRINCESS PLANS .INDIA HOSPITALAn Indian noblewoman was only a charm¬ing girl when speaking of the beautiful workto which her life is devoted. Miss PremelaShahne, medical student in the University,explained in her shy, quiet way that she wasnot a princess and wished to be known onlyas a common person, so she could better helpthe people of her native India. However, shedid acknowledge that she was of the nobilityor Brahman caste.“There is a great need for women doctorsin India, because of the old Buddah systemwhich has kept men and women apart innearly every phase of life,” she said, “andfor this reason women prefer doctors of theirown sex.” Her plan is to start a hospital her¬self there.She is a slender, dark, little lady; very ori¬ental, in the graceful robes of her country,and she is wonderfully loyal to India. Askedaoout the schools there; she was quick to de¬fend them, saying that the people had warnedso long against invading nations that they hadhad little time for cultural development, butthat their schools today were of the Englishtype and very successful. She also thinks theIndian students are more sincere. “Here,they’re too busy with dates to be serious,”Miss Shahne concluded.Recount ProgressOf Music and CityBy MAURICE ROSENFELDForty years is represented by a couple ofgenerations. So, since the writer of this arti¬cle first came to Chicago, two generationslave come and gone, and while in the mer-:antile field Chicago has grown in the periodnentioned to be one of the leading cities ofthe world, it has also grown civically, withrespect to its public enterprises, and artisti-:ally, as to its museums and music.Development of ArtThe last division of art—music—has devel¬oped, and we might say has kept pace withill the city’s other activities, and though theres at least one musical institution that dates9ack about fifteen years before 1886 (TheApollo Musical club, the Chicago Symphonyorchestra and the Chicago Civic Opera com-)any have both been stablished since the last-named date.Theodore Thomas organized our superborchestra, which, in many respects, is thefinest in America, and one of the finest in theworld. He took up his permanent residencehere in 1891, when the orchestra was estab¬lished, and was its constant conductor untilhis death in 1904. Since then Frederick Stockhas conducted and guided the orchestra, andhas made a great name for himself, as wellas for the Chicago Symphony orchestra.First Chicago OperaIn 1909, Oscar Hammerstein, who ownedand operated the Manhattan Grand Operacompany in New York, was persuaded to sellout, and to refrain from giving opera in NewYork city for a period of ten years. Thisput Celofonte Campaini, the musical director,out of a position, and Andreas Dippel, whohad also left the Metropolitan, thought Chi¬cago a ripe field for permanent opera. Hecame here, received enthusiastic support, and1910 saw Chicago’s first own Civic Operacompany.,By GERTRUDE BROMBERG(Reprinted through the courtesy ofThe Chicago Daily Journal)Coeducation has given the world a newdistraction.The newcomer, making her precipitious de¬but in the early 80’s, has managed to keepeach succeeding decade aware of her agitatingpresence.She has been the subject of sermons. Shehas been the heroine and villainesa of novels.She has been the inspiration for the girl onthe magaz|fe cover. She is the most talked-ofajid talked-to person today.The coed has been given the benefit ofevery doubt. She is good, bad, and indiffer*ent. If there were another category she wouldimmediately be placed in it. Her versatilityis astonishing since she is everything thathas been, is, and shall be.Still Another RoleStrange as it may seem, there are somepeople who have never seen a flesh-and-blood i Campus AncestorsPass In ColorfulInteresting RevueBy MADGE C. CHILD“Rich man, poor man, begger man, thief,“Doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief.”Campus ancestral trees are overloaded withthem all. Pedigrees are not the importantitem at Chicago that they are farther east, butit might be noted that our silence on the sub¬ject is due not to lack of “Family,” but tolack of interest.If it is historical characters in which youare interested early governors, orators, ex¬plorers, and nobility abound in the dim back¬ground of your campus friends. Alice andRuss Wiles are direct descendants of Will¬iam Bradford, first governor of Massachu¬setts. Governor Hinkley, also of Massa¬chusetts, is the great, great, great grandfa¬ther of Bobbie Cooke, who in addition canclaim William Floyd, a signer of the Declara¬tion of Independence, as her grandfather. Vir¬ginia Weiss Solenberger is the granddaughterof Carl Schurz.Stevensons Have Long ListJohn and Bill Stevenson have a most for¬midable array of ancestors. John Webster,early governor of Connecticut; Daniel Web¬ster, the great orator, and Noah Webster, ofdictionary fame, lend prestige to one branchof the family. On the other side, we findGeorge Stephenson, who invented the firstsuccessful locomotive, and Stanley Livingston,an African explorer. And before leaving Af¬rica it is well to mention that the uncle forwhom John Allison was named, drove thelast spike in the Cape-to-Cairo railway.Some Titles and Royalty.Being Americans, we are, of course, notinterested in royalty and titles, but recall thecrowds that waited in Harper quadrangle tosee Queen Marie. Perhaps they did not knowthat a descendant of the royal house of Hol¬land might be seen any Saturday on Staggfield with a large number two for a crest.“Stan” Rouse is the man.More titles are to be found among the an¬cestors of Peg Newton and Mundy Peale.Peg is related to Sir William Pitt, and Mundyis of the same line as Sir John Peel of Eng¬land. Another interesting connection of Mun-dy’s is Robert Peel, the modern Englishpainter, and way back in his mother’s familyone may discover the name of Eli Whitney.In the Metropolitan Museum there is asection devoted to early American furniturecalled the Capen wing, which is named forCharlotte Eckhart’s mother’s family.Ruth Mills and Lois Mitchell can tell ofsome unusual forebears if they will.

Still, to talk with these folk wouldevince the fact that they know an astonishinglot about her. They would tell you the sort ofdress she usually wears, how she combs herhair, what brand of cigarets she prefers, thekind of men she dates with, and what shethinks about petting and drinking.They know the home life she has led andwho her ancestors were. In fact, they knowenough to condemn and hang the poor girl.All Suspiciously AlikeWhat is still more strange is that all thesedescriptions show a suspicious tendencytoward similarity. Any twenty-five people inany twenty five states are ready to describethe coed, and the twenty-five descriptionsare alike. The girl who, above all things,wants to be different has been put in a stere¬oscope mold, and every time she is taken outfor public surveillance, the cast is practicallythe same. It seems obvious that the twenty-five persons are indebted to two or threeobliging sources for their information.(Continued on page 7)“Fashions”-Magic Symbol for WomenDuring Whirl of Christmas Gaieties Cognomen of “Capricious Coed” GivenBy Public Proxy to College Women■IP'11■guilt' Page Four THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 19261♦vfiThe season’s smartest in frocks andmillinery for the co-ed.Dress for street and party wear at veryreasonable prices.

ROTHSCHILDHERE AND NOW. A tragic in¬terlude in several gasps.TIME: Now.PLACE: Here.DRAMATIS PERSONAE: Co-edand Ed.Co-ed—I just adore art but Idon’t see why courses are necessaryto create an appreciation of thingswhich should produce a rather spon¬taneous appeal. I know what I likeand that seems to be sufficient.Ed—Art has been a result, prob¬ably in the majority of instances, ofman’s desire and inspiration to cre¬ate something that would lend pleas¬ure and incidents of charm to anexistence which is largely determinedby factors beyond his control. Wherethe forces of Nature and her ele¬ments so greatly condition his ac¬tions there is a peculiar joy in cre¬ating something wherein control canbe completely exercised and wherethe result has a form or patternwhich by its unity and harmony isdistinct from his experience of hap¬hazard occurrences and appearancesin the field of his consciousness. Canwe not better share his creative pow¬er by learning, the circumstances ofhis production and by comparingwhat he did with something by an¬other hand at a different time andin a different milieu.Art Appeal Is SensuousCo-ed—But knowledge thus gainedwould be intellectual, whereas artexerts a sensuous or esthetic appealdistinct, to a large degree, from ourintellectual experience.Ed—That is quite true, but our in¬stinct craves a sense of order andby relating the various products ofart in different eras, either by his¬torical or comparative method, weapply or superimpose the frameworkof a technique of appreciation.Co-ed—Why is it necessary tohave a technique for the examinationof objects of art when we so readilyreact to them with joy and exhilara¬tion? f*.Joys Are VariedEd.—Joy and exhilaration may bequalified. Football, cigars, friend¬ships may also produce them. Ourtechnique of art appreciation can;give them a richer significance anddistinguish them from the common¬place response that can make itself■explicit only through such vagueterms as charming, delightful orbeautiful.Co-ed—This may be getting us■somewhere. I do, at times, feelrather foolish in trying to say whyI like things now that, “cute” hasbecome so trite.Ed—What a man has put his artand soul into is worthy of some con¬sideration and those components goa long way toward making a work ofart regardless of its material expres¬sion. The man whose business isselling gloves has a very fine andexact method of determining the dif¬ferent qualities in gloves. Shouldwe not establish an efficient tech¬nique for examining the objects ofart which even upon casual acquaint¬ance are capable of producing con¬siderable delight?Analytic It Worth WhileCo-ed—I never realized, probablybecause it was so easy to get a littlekick out of the monuments of artis¬tic creation, that there was such arich field in the analysis which leadsbeneath the skin of paint or stone.Ed—It is a consideration worthsome concern and a course in art,despite the stigma of academicismwhich you impose, is concerned notso much with the accumulation offacts as it is with the inculcation ofa habit of seeing beneath the sur¬face. It is concerned primarily withthe development of a technique ofappreciation.Engraving and PrintedXmas CardsHYDE PARK PRINTING CO.1177 E. 55th Street ON THE BOARDSBY WILLIAM JOST, JR.The condition of the theatre looksbad, prospectively, for those personsinterested in the engeneous creationsof man’s dramatic endeavor.The current return of “No, No,Nanette” and “Abie’s Irish Rose” andthe contemplated revisitjng of “RoseMarie” and “The Student Prince”point a palsied, indicating finger atthe sorrowful state of decadentdrama. Either the playwrights havetaken up scenario writing, professor¬ships or editorships or else they haverun out of ideas. The second hy¬pothetical solution is the sorry state,for editors and even professors maybe reclaimed on the urgent call ofidle resident managers and Broad¬way producers. George Kaufmanand Eugene O’Neil have contributedin a small measure, but neither ofthem have been given certificates ofimmortality. Mr. Kaufman haspushed a door bell that has beenpassed by for the last twenty yearsand if aspirant authors but open thedoor they may find a gymnasium fullof paraphanalia fit for the best turnsand twists for good burlesque.True, the present Kaufman ve¬hicle moves not further than goodsatire, but his Beggar On Horsebackmay be taken as particular good bur¬lesque. Elliot Nugent falls into linewith plays of campus background,now so prevalent on the silver strip.College plays make for good enter¬tainment, not so much for their ex¬act mirroring, but for their naiveacceptance of what college must belike. But this type of dramaturgicalendeavor goes as far as a dubbedbrassie in attempting to reach thegreen of what the theatre is meantfor.If the theatre is to progress onparallel with the amelioration ofAmerica’s ascension to commercialsuccess, then new candles must belighted and the present tiny flicker-infi bonfires, gasping for oxygen,must be kindled and coaxed with thestrawberry-box-wood of tolerance. Dennis King, StarOf Vagabond King,Talks of ActorsBY RUTH G. DANIEL“American actors are not so goodas European actors, I believe; butAmerican actresses—ah! Americanemotional actresses—are far betterthan their sister European women ofthe stage.” Thus spoke Dennis King,dark-haired hero, Francois Villon byname, of the operetta, “The Vaga¬bond King,” now playing its six¬teenth successful week at the Shu-bert Great Northern Theatre.“As for the American theatre ingeneral, it is progressing more rap¬idly than the European theatre, andthis because of commercial reasons,1 should say. However, understandme, the European theatre is a greatdeal more advanced as far as tech¬nique and the like than the theatreof America.”Mr. King, who was born not quitethirty years ago in a small town inEngland—the same town in whichthe renowned Ellen Terry was born—has been on the stage since he wasa lad of fourteen. His debut wasmade in Shakespeare’s theatre inStratford-on-Avon, a playhouse de¬stroyed but some three years ago.“ ‘The Rivals,’ ‘Schol for Scandal’and like plays should be revived atleast once each year,” Mr. King em¬phatically contends. “Ibsen andGalsworthy, such classic writers formthe bulwark of all good literature.”The part of the dramatic-singing-hero in the play taken from the well-known opera, “If I Were King,” isMr. King’s second venture into therealm of the musical show. Mr. Kingis planning to return to Englandshortly to take up again his classiccharacterizations.Caustic criticism, passive interest andworse, derision, do more to smolderand snuff than even the lack of ac¬tion on the part of eminent person¬ages who might instigate and pro¬mulgate the efforts of undergradu¬ate literatti OFF THE SHELFThe Shelf at Christmas time is amost enjoyable place.A book Christmas begins early andlasts long, blessing “him that givesand him that takes.” And asidefrom the giving spirit of the season,books,—those that you always didwant to read, constitute a vacationin themselves.“Perfect Behaviour.”“Perfect Behaviour” is Donald O.Stewart’s latest contribution to theliterary shelf. It is a parody satireon current books of etiquite, and asthe author himself has indicated, “aguide for ladies and gentlemen inall social crises.” Mr. Stewart seemsto have caught the note of freshnessand steadiness so essential to ahumorous treatise. In places, thehumor amounts to pure wit and or¬iginality. In others, it is a subtleand sparkling form of farcical ex¬pression."Banbai”John Paris who has already sohwnhis knowledge of Japan, and under¬standing of its people in “Kimona”and “Sayonara” has written a newbiographical story of a modern Jap¬anese whom he discovered in Pic¬cadilly. The book, “Banzai,” lacksthe usual air of mystery about a book ion the Orient, but for a good in¬sight into true realistic details ofJapanese life it is valuable.“Chariot of Fire”Bernard DeVoto’s new book, “The jChariot of Fire,” has earned for him ja place among the more distinguishedyoung novelists of the day. It is thestory of a self-styled Messiah on theIllinois frontier in the early nine¬teenth century. It is powerful fic¬tion, unusual because it involves anexample of the author’s interest inthe many and strange American re¬ligions.“Chevrons”“Chevrons,” by Leonard Nason, isbut another of the recent war stories.But it is different, in that it is asemi-autobiographical story of asimple-minded doughboy.

Now i$ may well bethat the gods of pamting, Giotto,Michelangelo, Titian, Velasquez, orRembrandt (to mention only a few),deserve their pedestals: few continueto satisfy a? they do. But beforeany comparison between them andmodern artists can be made a lot ofdead wochmust be mantally choppedaway. There were bad artists intheir day as there are bad artistsnow. Surely, we know little of theworst artists of the past becausequite naturally nobody thought theirwork worth saving. Why, then,should we allow our judgment ofart to be obscured by the badartists of Today? As there are now,so there always have been and al¬ways will be, freaks and sentimentalspouters.It will probably be years beforeartists will receive or will even wantthe solid grounding in technic thatthe old masters had under the ap¬prentice system. Expression todayis the chief thing, and rightly. So itwas three hundred years ago. Andtime must bring the realization thatfull expression demands completecommand of the means of that ex¬pression : but technic only as a meansnot an end.Appeal to Visual SenseWhat, however, are the tenden¬cies in the best of modern art whichmake its prograss encouraging, thatlink it with the work of the menwhom time has shown to be great?In the first place, pictures are beingpainted increasingly as pictures, notas illustrations. We are past thetime, for example, of Sir EdwardLandseer, whose work was little morethan a guide to the Fauna of Eng¬land. Pictures are becoming ratherprimarily designs. Look at almostany of Rembrandt’s portraits, andsee what fine patterns in light anddark they are; how they satisfy thatfeeling which we all have for bal¬ance of masses. They appeal to thevisual sense from the start, and onlyafterwards to the interests of themind. Now I think you will find thesame true of most of George Bellows’works. And this insistence on de¬sign, the demand that the pictureplease the eye even before it beginsto engage mental sympathies, is oneof the most encouraging tendenciesin modern art.Modern Art AdvancesIn the work of the old masters, thedesign in light and dark was madeby forms which were printhrily ex- WHERE TO GOBY ELLEN HARTMANJudging from the large selectionof dinner and dance places offered tothe gaiety-seeking campus people, incomparison to those offered by thesmall college town, a University lo¬cated in a large city like Chicago hasits advantages. Week-ends findcampus people represented in anyone of a dozen or more of the betterknown of these places.Among the downtown hotels,Bobby Meeker’s orchestra at theDrake still attracts couples fromcompus, both on Friday eveningswhen informal and on Saturday eve¬nings when formal dress prevails.Edgewater BeachDespite the long distance fromcampus, the Marine dining room ofthe Edgewater Beach hotel is a popu¬lar rendezvous for University stu¬dents.Coon Sanders and his Kansas iCtyNighthawks at the comparativelynewly re-organized Blackhawk Grillhas drawn many from campus whoare equally as interested in dancingto his famous syncopation as in eat¬ing. The Crillon is becoming morepopular among the downtown places.South Side AttractionsPlaces in proximity to campus arepopular with those faced by the prob¬lem of transportation. The newestof these is the Louis the FourteenthRoom at the Shoreland hotel. WalterFord and his Shoreland hotel orches¬tra provide the music for the danc¬ing throngs from campus. Farthersouth are Cocoanut Grove and theVenetian Room of the Southmoorhotel, both well-known and generallypatronized by familiar persons fromschool.istent as space-filling figures. Again,we find this tendency in the best con¬temporary work. True, forms aresometimes hulking in their bigness,but artists are realizing that theirfigures must occupy space, be touch¬able, enhance our own feelings thatwe ourselves are not simply com¬binations of pretty, or ugly, colors.Coupled with these advances (andspace forbids mention of more thanthese few important ones) is thefeeling that modern life and mod¬ern thought are exactly as interest¬ing as thought and life ever were.Modern art is not grounded in astrange back-water. Surely time can¬not but show that we are gettingahead.PARFUM 'STYXF’OR subtle, mysterioustemperaments, theever-luring charm of the un¬known, the eternal enigma.\ Holding in its depths offragrance both melancholyanJ delight.STYX ESSENCEEAU DE TOILETTEFACE POWDERCOMPACTETALCUMBRILLANTINEHAIR LOTIONSACHETHalf Oz. $2.23 PURSE SIZES\i ami H oz. illustratedOne oz, $4.10Quarter Oz, $1.25 Industrial ArtBY WALTER SARGENTOnue responsibility of a depart¬ment in a University is to take ac¬count of how its subject enters intothe current of contemporary life. Onetributary to the main stream is theinfluence of art upon industries. Thisis shown in the tendency to add thequality of beauty to things of use.This tendency is universal. Itarises from the fact that no objectof use is really satisfactory unless itadds to fitness for use, some elementof charm and distinction, some sug¬gestion of leisure. Refinement ofform and of decoration hint at a mar¬gin of time beyond the demands ofcheer necessity. Without any sug¬gestion of this sort, things of use be¬come depressing.Fine Things Follow CruditiesNecessity sometimes compels apioneer generation to put up withcrudeness in their ‘environment, buteven then some few furnishingsbrought from more gracious sur¬roundings are prized and copied.Later, when the wilderness has beensubdued and material needs satisfied,this elemental demand for fine thingsmakes itself felt.A significant surface indication ofthis underlying aesthetic demand isseen in the recognition which pre¬ sentations of commercial productsnow give to beauty. If we examineadvertisements in any of the maga¬zines of especially wide circulation wefind that about as much of the totalspace is devoted to description andemphasis of the artistic distinction ofthe products as to their usefulness.This industrial movement is merelythe material manifestation of a pro¬foundly significant human demandfor that heightened pleasure and self-respect that are fostered by beautifulsurroundings. The traditional ten¬dency to speak slightingly of com¬mercial art is passing away. Someof the forms in which commercial artappears may justly be critizized butnot its potential values. To belittlethem reveals an ignorance of the his¬tory and function of art.No Dividing LineIn a sense there is no dividing linebetween the fine and industrial arts.Art flows into different channels. Itincarnates exceptional experiencesand this we call fine art. It also givesgrace to things of use and we call theresults industrial art. In a sense alsothere is no exact boundry betweenutility and beauty because beauty is apositive huamn need. Taste mani¬fests itself not in accepting one fieldof art as fine and rejecting as indus¬trial another on a basis of superficialclassification. Taste consists ratherin capacity to discern beauty in what¬ever embodiment it appears.Cruisesto theIndiesPleasure Pirate Pilgrimages"on theS. S.

Some may think itnecessary to carry around cigarets inthe fashionable bags; others have onlyroom for their glasses, pens, andchange-purses.No Longer a Type.The coed has ceased to be a type.The novelty of coeducation has worn away, and we can now regard thenew-comer with the sanity, and judg¬ment of experience, that is, if we careto. There may still linger a bit of thedesire to think of the coed as the gay,fur-clad, pleasure - loving individualwho has enticed us aad enraged us forso many years. In spite of the factttha she isn’t what she should be, wehesitate to put her from -our midst.However, if we want to be fair tolier many sisters, we must realize thatthe college girl is no longer an indi¬vidual or even a type. She has becomei composite personality that defies def-nition and description.Selling Railway Servicelhe traffic department is the sales organization ofa railroad. It develops a field for, it prices and it sellsthe freight and passenger transportation which theoperating department performs.In dealing with freight service, it is the duty of thetraffic department, first, to prescribe rates both reason¬able to the shipper and compensatory to the railroad;second, to adjust rates relatively among communitiesin order that as many shippers as possible may do busi¬ness at points of competition, distance and general’economic conditions always being considered; third, toarrange for adequate divisions of joint rates on trafficpassing over two or more carriers.Considerable freight t-"iffie originates at or is des¬tined to local points, but a heavy proportion of allfreight traffic is subject to competition either of otherrailroads or of other forms of transportation or isaffected by competition of other markets and of othercommodities. Railway rates are generally uniform,and transportation is sold upon the basis of competi¬tion not only of time in transit but also of otherservices, such as adjustment and quotation of rates, re¬consignment, passing reports and, in particular, promptattention to requests for information.Passenger traffic is handled upon a basis very muchsimilar to that of freight. Passenger rates, however,are generally fixed upon a straight mileage basis.Special rates are ordinarily made in large cities forthe benefit of commuters, and excursion rates are oc¬casionally published to stimulate traffic at- certainseasons of the year. In soliciting passenger traffic,service—quality and appearance of equipment, main¬tenance of schedules, attention to the individual bothbefore and during the trip, courteous treatment andgood food in the dining cars—is the paramount con¬sideration, for the passenger insists upon courtesy,comfort and speed.A development bureau is also part of the traffic de¬partment, its purpose being to stimulate the progressof both industry and agriculture in the territory served,in order that the railroad may share in the resultingprosperity.The traffis department is ordinarily headed by a vice-president, and reporting to him is the traffic manager,who is in direct charge of the sub-departments. Themajor sub-departments are those of freight traffic, pas¬senger traffic and the development bureau. Wherecertain commodities constitute a large proportion ofthe traffic, there may be a sub-department in control—as, for example, for coal and coke, for import andexport and the like. The freight and passenger depart¬ments are again subdivided into rate departments andsolicitation departments. The officers in charge of thesub-departments are the general freight agent, thegeneral passenger agent, the general developmentagent, the coal traffic manager, the general foreignagent, and so on.Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.L.

Hyder, tomake the visit annually. The mem¬bers and the conductor are proud tohave made good in a church whoserector and whose standards of serv¬ice are natioally known.Will Sing AgainThey have been invited to sing aprogram in the Winter quarter atEmmanuel Episcopal Church in LaGrange by the Rev. Irving Goddard.Emmanuel Church is a notable ex¬ample of Gothic architecture. Aes¬thetic considerations aside, the eventaffords an opportunity for the choirto test a building whose acousticsresemble those of the new chapel ofthe University.Last year the three most impor¬tant radio stations in Chicago, WGN,WMAQ, and WLS invited the choirto broadcast. As a result of thesetrials, WLS offered the organizationa contract for bi-weekly paid per¬formances for the year 1926-27, andthe choir accepted, with a thought¬ful eye on the prospective publicity.May Go Out of TownThe choir contemplates the possi¬bility of securing occasional out-of-town dates in the future. The dis¬tance of that future is a matter de¬termined largely by the impressionthe choir makes o.l the music-lovingpublic through the channels at itsdisposal.And the personnel responsible forthat impression is dependent for itsown existence, and for the mainte¬nance of its present standards,, uponthe freshman attitude, upon fresh¬man interest.Finds Unfair DiscouragementThe director of the choir finds thatmany freshmen who might be inter¬ested, and some of their elders, haveonly vague notions of the require¬ments and rewards of membership inthe organization, and are kept awayfrom the try-outs by the inhibitionsthat customarily seize the amateurwhen he is asked to raise a lonelyvoice in song. They can be assuredthat the initial try-out is practicallya painless process, for three reasons:(1) The Director is the only audi¬ence; (2) he is anxious to hear thebest the voice can do, not the worst;(3) he neither expects nor desire.-to hear anything in the nature of asolo; a few notes in the “middle ofthe voice” are sufficient guide andoften the speaking voice is the deter¬mining factor.Paid members rate according torank and amount of service rendered,but the pleasure of the work itselfattracts an equal number of others—that particular brand of fun thatone experiences only in effectiveteamwork—that mixture of releaseand discipline that sometimes travelsunder the more high-hat name of en¬semble.Praise* Choir SingingWhat the University of ChicagoChoir may mean off-campus is sug¬gested in the following, one of theWLS returns:“I listened to your choir Novem¬ber 24th in its radio program. Iwish to tell you that the music yourchoir sings is my idea of somethingworth-while, especially when sung insuch a splendid manner."May our countless choirs through¬out the country profit by hearing pro¬grams of such a standard.”iours truly,Elmer C.

Onecan hear the crackling of the logs inthe fireplace, the music of the forksand knives in a vigorous attack ofyouthful appetites upon the turkeybefore them, and above all the soundof merriment and happy laughter.But outside in the soft, clear nightthere is a great quiet, and one canalmost hear the stars whispering inthe silence, “Peace on earth, goodwill to men.”Bring Huge “ Pita.”The meal is almost over now, andthe family sit back in their chairsfor a moment. The best is yet tocome. The door opens, and with greatdignity in comes the huge Christmascake, the famous Greek PITA, whichsince time immemorial has been thechief feature of the national celebra¬tion of the nativity of our Lord. Thehappy, proud look that comes uponthe mother’s face, as she eyes quick¬ly the rest of the family and notesthe general approval, has a long storyto tell: how this PITA has been forweeks past the main subject of herthoughts and of her conversationwith the other housewives of theneighborhood, with what care shewent around the market picking forit the best materials she could find.With great solemnity the fathercuts a piece for every member of thefamily; but the first slice is always“Christ’s”— it is sacred, and is keptfor the first beggar that comes tothe house the next day.Sing Quaint Song*After the meal they draw theirchairs around the fire. The fatherrelates some old, popular legend, andthe children sing quaint GreekChristmas songs.At midnight the church bells ringout merrily, and all the family walkunder the starlit sky to the \ illagechurch, where they light their can¬dles and exchange greetings withtheir friends, “Merry Christmas!How is your PITA?”By IRENE TAYLORAll the world in Siam goes aboutits business in the most ordinaryevery day manner on Christmas. Buthere and there small groups ofwhites stretch themselves in thewarm sunshine and think of thehomeland with its shivery weatherand shimmery tinsels. Whereverthere is a white man there is Christ¬mas.A year ago I and three other for¬eigners helped celebrate Christmasin the city of Nan. The fatted calfhad been killed early and broughtto the back yard of the girls’ school.After breakfast a dozen or moremen and women arrived with sun-plies for the curry. Much joking analaughing accompanied the busy prep¬arations for the feast. The men cutthe calf into small chunks and putit into large iron kettles to stew,while the women added savory leaves,herbs, and freshly pounded red pep¬pers. Some attended to the largeblack steamers of rice, and othersgrated cocoanuts for the sweetmeats.Decorate TreeSounds of mirth drifted from thefront yard where the teachers weredecorating the tree, and hanging thegifts, such as pencils, handkerchiefs,soap, hair ribbons, belts, and manyother articles of wearing apparel.Some of the Christians in townbrought their gifts, the best thattheir homes could offer—choice pine¬apples, cocoanuts from a prize tree,fresh eggs, etc.Hold ServiceAt 3 o’clock all gathered aroundthe trees for a short service, thenthe gifts were distributed with manythrills. After this the women spreadout on the gyound long rows of ba¬nana leaves which served as tables. The word "Christmas” doesn’t callto every student’s mind the same pic¬ture. For the benefit of readers ofThe Daily Maroon, Fred Eastman,Professor of Religious Literature andDrama, asked those of his classes inReligious Journalism and AdvancedComposition ivho came from foreigncountries to write a brief descriptionof Christmas in those lands.

There were about 150 in¬structors, of all sorts and ranks, andHaynie was one of the rankest. Hewas Irish, freckled, impudent, andimpulsive.Like all the instructors, he had toteach six hours a day, and this forsix days a week, with no time off forgood beheavior, if any. The instruc¬tors were supposed to attend drill fortwo hours a day in addition to theschool work; but most of us figuredthat we had enough without that,and skipped drill.The Trouble Start*But one day we got a new execu¬tive officer—a Mr. Jarvis; and hegave orders to the military police,one fine day, to round up all the menwho were not at drill. About fifty ofus were caught, and we were put inthe brig to look at things from theinside out. Haynie was one of thefifty; and it was really sad in hiscase. He had arranged to get a tenday furlough, with travel time extra,and with full pay, to go home andspend the Christmas Holidays withThe Girl He Left Behind Him. Hehad bought a new suit of clothes, onthe sleeves of which were sewedabout three times the ratings he wasentitled to wear; for he wanted tomake a good impression on T. G. H.L. B. And now he was minus his lib¬erty, minus his furlough, minus hispay, minus his Christmas holiday,and minus his girl.The first meal we got after our ar¬rest was dinner of the same day.When we reached the mess hall, therear guard went up in front forsome reason or other, and Haynieslid around the corner of the build¬ing and over to Harvard Square,where he entered the first telephonebooth he saw. He called the officeof the executive officer—Mr. Jarvis.A feminine voice answered—the yeo-girl, Miss Robinson. Haynie said,“Miss Robinson, this is Mr. Jarvis.You will find a man by the nameof Haynie on my restricted list;please see that he is returned toduty.” Then he called the pay de¬partment, represented himself as thePay Officer, and put himself back onthe payroll.Calls Jim’s PositionThen he called the transportationoffice and got a ten-day furlough,plus travel time, for himself, by thesame method. And finally, he ranback to the mess hall, where the linewas still waiting for the word tocome inside and eat, and slid backinto ranks. It was half past one, andthe officers would not be on duty forhalf an hour, at least.He got away with murder. Theentire matter was handled by theyeogirls, and he had a great time athis girl’s home, returning to theschool thirteen days later to pokefun at the rest of us. By A. T. HOFFERTThe thought of snow at Christmastime in India no more exists in theminds of the people than it does inthe minds of the children of Floridawho hgve never been outside thatstate. Instead, the trees are greenand the flowers bloom. Fresh vege¬tables from the garden add color andrichness to the Christmas dinner. Thechoice of a Christmas tree in thatland need not be confined to theevergreen variety.Brings Real JoyChristmas brings real joy to thou¬sands of isolated Christian groups inIndia. To the masses of Hindus andMoslems the day has little or nomeaning. Large numbers know itonly as a Christian holiday. The An¬glo-Indians and the Europeans cele¬brate Christmas after the manner ofthe West. Both the British and theIndian press serve to interpretChristmas to India.You cannot spend the month ofDecember at a typical mission sta¬tion in India without knowing of theapproach of Christmas for weeks pre¬vious to that glad day. In order thatthe boarding children may return totheir villages in time to spendChristmas, the special program inwhich they take part usually takesplace a couple of days prior toChristmas eve. At these events Biblescenes are acted out by the children.Give Tooth BrushesThe Indian tooth brush is a greenstick having the thickness of a penciland four to six inches in length. AtStation A, where there is a Boys’as well as a Girls’ Boarding school,I noticed that the boys presented toeach of the girls a handfull of thesetooth brushes for a Christmas pres¬ent.On Christmas eve the Christiansgather for a “gayan sabha” (singingmeeting). There they sing for hoursusing Indian instruments to accom¬pany the human voice. Then thereare a few hours of sleep. At threeor four in the morning a group ofthe more aggressive spirits formthemselves into a singing group andproceed from house to house, sere¬nading the Christian community.By RAYMOND K. OSHIMOChristmas celebration in Hawaiitakes on a unique local coloring. Thebalmy, temperate tropical climategives one a queer and strange Christ¬mas feeling. The show windows, dec¬orated with Christmas trees, coveredwith silver flakes of snow and glit¬tering icicles, causing shudders ofchills to run through the shouldersof the passers-by, add only to thestrangeness of the feeling.All JoinThe cosmopolitan population —Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish,Portuguese, Haole or Whites—all re¬gardless of their faiths and beliefs,join the Christians to welcome theMerry Christmas day. Many of themtake this occasion to express theirtender affections and kindly appreci¬ation by giving gifts to their friendsand loved ones. But the giving haslittle or no religious significance tomany of them. It means no morethan a day of celebration, of merrytimes, and an occasion to give pres¬ents.See ShoppersOn Christmas eve merry-makersand shoppers jam the streets. If oneimagines a Fourth of July celebra¬tion, with all its noises and shrieks,one would have an idea of the cele¬bration there. The clang-clang, theboh, booh, the loud laughter of thejoy seekers, all sound like a circus.Confetti of many colors flutters inthe air and some of it, settling uponthe hair of the girls, forms beauti¬ful hair-nets, and the rest covers thestreets, making walks of high color-schemes. This gaiety continues lateinto the night. More New Buildings MakePossible Greater ActivitiesREV. t>R. SHA1LERMATHEWSmatP/t* r*By PAUL RAWLANDOnly one person in 300 in Japanis a Christian, yet Christmas is beingcelebrated more and more by every¬one. “Kurisumasu” they call it, andBuddhist and Shintoist, as well asChristian, exchange presents on thatday, and greet one another with awarm ‘‘Meri Kurisumasu!”Take a walk down Ginza, theBroadway of Tokyo, on Christmaseve, and you will imagine yourselfin the heart of Christendom.Churches PrepareIn the Christian churches prepara¬tions are going on at fever-heat forthe red-letter event of the year—theChristmas exercises of the Sundayschool. Almost from the opening ofthe fall term the children, in theirvarious classes, have been rehears¬ing songs, recitations, dialogues,playlets, tableaux, and pageants.Sunday school attendance picks upmiraculously during the two monthsbefore Christmas—and dwindles mys¬teriously directly after; Childrendesert their Buddhist Sunday schoolsand come over to the Christian onesin order to get in on the Christmascelebrations.In towns where there are morethan one Christian church, the cele¬brations are purposely put on differ¬ent nights, for the convenience ofthose who may wish to attend themall! In the northern city of Sapporo,there are five Protestant churches.They celebrate Christmas on fivesuccessive evenings. An annual “fea¬ture” of the leading paper of thecity, “The Thimes,” is to send a re¬porter around to all five of theChristian celebrations and to printhis critique comparing them.Are Elaborate AffairsOnly Japanese, with their intenselove of children, their flair for pag¬eantry, and their consummate artistry, can make of these Sundayschool celebrations the artistic andglamorous affairs they are. The pro¬gram lasts hours. Every Sundayschool class and every member ofevery class takes part at least once.The children, in their brilliant ki¬monos, are radiant—and captivating.Then come the refreshments. Eachone gets a paper bag. Inside are car¬amels, “sembe” (wafers), “manju”(cakes shaped like lady-fingers, witha bean-paste center), “ame” (likeTurkish delight, but made of rice),and tangerines. These are merelysampled here. To eat it all up inpublic would be bad form! The bags,and other presents which SantaClaus has distributed, are carefullywrapped up in “furoshiki” (silkshopping-cloths) and carried home.It is midnight, and the meeting isbreaking up. “Geta” (clogs) havebeen ticketed al the door, and noweveryone wants his or hers at thesame time. But there is no confu¬sion, no disorder. Everyone is good-natured, expansive, happy—suffusedwith the generous glow of theChristmas spirit. Registration Mounts to167; Seventy-sevenin SeminaryActivities in the Divinity schoolhave been increasing steadily duringthe last year with the aid of the newlarge special endowment funds. Reg¬istration in this school has been,larger this year than ever before,with the total mounting up to 167.With the extra 77 students enrolledin the Chicago Theological seminarythe school takes on the largest pro¬portions yet seen here.The addition of several new build¬ings has materially increased the reg¬istration. Swift hall, the location ofthe new offices, is now completelyfinished, and all the facilities offeredin this building are in use. Bondchapel has been dedicated, and withthe completion of the new Theologi¬cal building at 58th street and Uni¬versity avenue the school will havegreatly increased its academic possi¬bilities.Offer New CoursesTwo new men have been added tothe faculty. Professor A. H. New¬man of Mercy University has beenoffering a special courses this fall,while Daniel Evans of the HarvardSchool of Theology is also visitingthe school and offering a course. Pro¬fessors Chave and Bower have beenadded to the permanent staff of thefaculty.Professor Baker, head of the de¬partment of Missions, is to leave thisWinter quarter for a six-months’ visitto the missions of the Far East. Hewill make a study of the work ofthese institutions, as well as give aseries of talks.Increase Social ActivitiesStudents in the Divinity schoolhave been increasing their social ac¬tivities with regular meetings held inthe auditorium in Swift hall. Thesemeetings are held for the social pur¬poses of the Divinity school studentsexclusively.A portrait of the late Ernest De-Witt Burton has been presented tothe offices of the school by Mrs. Bur¬ton, and is now hanging in the mainoffice.Religion of FairPlay Is Creed ofProf. MerrifieldThe “religion of fair play” is whatMr. Merrifield, assistant professorof religion and ethics at the Uni¬versity, calls his creed.“Unless we deal fairly with theChinese, the Egyptian, the Hinduas well as theAmerican or Eu¬ropean, we havenot acquired anethics of relig'onthat is sufficientfor our needs oftoday. The relig¬ion of fair play’should be suita¬ble for the Ori¬ental as well d>the Occidental.“What we need,”continued Mr.Merrified, “is thethe type of fu¬ture mind thatlooks all around the world andthrough all history for its ideals. Itshould not be bound by past tradi¬tions or sectarian learnings. Men likeGhandi and Rabindranath Tagore ofIndia, and Professor Ameski of Tokioas well as men like Bergson, Dewey,James, and ex-President Elliot ofHarvard are, in my mind, excellentillustrations of this type of mind.“If the world of religious leaderscould once get this kind of religionit would be the greatest internationalbond possible; it would probably domore than anything else to build upfriendship among the nations.” \Page Ten THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1926OLD CORNELL ISFAST VANISHING,AFFIRMS STUDENTBy HAROLD WENTWORTHIthaca. N. Y., Dec. 16.—Cornell ttnderclassmen view with alarm the gradual decline of the hallowed traditionsthat have grown up in the sixty-twoyears of the university's existenceOthers do not notice it much—a fatlot they care about tralitions! The fulllist of tribal customs peculiar to Cornell is probably not known in detailto anyone. In fact, so gradually dothey decline that no one knows wheth¬er many of them are still in force.rPerhaps the most persistent customis that requiring the freshman to weara gray skull cap with a red button, buteven this is beginning to weaken. Afew years ago a non-conformist fresh¬man who reasoned that it was silly towear such a cap, was nearly drownedin a lake near the campus by mem¬bers of his own class for refusing toobey the rule. This year the startlingdisclosure was made by the studentcouncil that several hundred enteringmen had not bought the necessaryheadgear. No action was taken, ofcourse, although many sophomores ex¬pressed the naive opinion that “something ought to be done about it.” First-year women are distinguished bygreen ribbon worn conspicuously.Distribute “Frosh Bible”The “ Frosh Bible,” a vade mecumdistributed by the traditionally helpfulChristian Association, is designed toorient newcomers and explains in de¬tail the course one should take toavoid castigation, to say nothing of arush of paddles to the seat. Amongthe quaint folkways listed are these:No freshman shall smoke on the campus or in the football stadium. (Specialpermission, however, may be grantedby application to the student council)!Numeral pipes are taboo exceptprivacy.Appearing on the campus in shirt¬sleeves, walking on the grass or anybut cinder and cement walks, depriv¬ing upperclassmen of seats in trolleycars, all are black offenses against thecode, scrupulously lived up to by theconscientious and broken daily by theworldly wise?Abolish ContestsThe vernal mud-slinging contest be¬tween the underclasses was done awaywith recently. Likewise the downtownrushes, owing to the horrendous soph-omoric practice of maltreating fresh¬men and sending them up the hillin puris naturalibus.In their place has come the jubilantCap-Burning orgy. Late in May, thosesurviving the first year’s ordeals stamparound a huge bonfire and cast (a)caps to the flames, and (b) discretionto the winds as they parade downtownto batter down theatre doors and chasepolicemen. The ringleaders are finedone hundred dollars each and officialsdeclare such cutting up abolished—un¬til the following May.List CustomsOther customs remain unwritten; itis said that every woman student, be¬fore graduating, must sit in the lapof the statue of Andrew D. White, thefirst president and one of the foundersof the university; that the first co-edto pass by the north end of the campusafter dark must pull the switch thatlights the street light for that section.An Alaskan totem pole, taken withdifficulty from a Tlingit Indian villageby a Cornell professor and set up nearthe Armory, was for years the objectof kowtowing and cap - doffing byfreshmen. But that, alas, along withthe old familiar faces, is gone.The All-Cornell hops, outgrown anda financial risk, were recently abol¬ished; so, also, the Masque, an unnualmusical comedy with a cast of deep¬voiced female impersonators, the Soph¬omore Cotillion, and now Junior week,concerning which the Alumni Newsobserves, “These eighty hours of jazzpresent the* severest test of manly en¬durance since Hannibal crossed theAlps,” stands a good chance of goingthe same way.Former Cornellians who read thismay care to know that one of the old¬est traditions, the one that has servedto bring town and gown together sincetime immemorial, is still extant; thesame trolley cars run up and downthe hills of Ithaca, far above Cayuga’s.waters. New Bond IssueBrings CaliforniaOver A MillionBy JOHN SNELLBerkeley, Cal., Dec. 16.—No oneknew just how many gaping yokels there were in the Golden State untilsome embryo Ponzi from Berkeley gothit by a truck and conceived the gi¬gantic proposition hoax, the idea tovote $150,000,000 to education, whilestill out cold.But now that the gullible public hasfallen for this bologna and dug downdeep that the Calivarsity of Unifornia shall have “much-needed buildings,”the burning question arises over whatwe shall really do with all this gravyjack. “Wipe out the shacks” as ap¬plied to the Berkeley campus is aboutas true as “99 44/100% Pure” whenapplied to California co-eds.The Californiache has put the pon¬ derous mechanism of his brain in mo¬tion and has pronounced a few sugges¬tions. This looks like a pretty nastyway to divvy up the swag:1. Ten grand to maintain a perma¬nent standing army of Boy Scouts toguard the Big C.2.

AND A. SCHOOLConduct Only SeniorAnd GraduateWorkDiscontinuance of the administration0f a junior college curriculum begin¬ning with the Autumn quarter, 1927,was voted recently by the faculty oftl,c Commerce and Administrationschool. This action means that here¬after the School of Commerce and Ad¬ministration will conduct only seniorcollege and graduate work.In the beginning the School offereda four year program for students de¬siring training in business. At no timehowever, did this mean that a studentspent his entire four years in technicalcourses. It merely meant that theSchool supervised the whole under¬graduate program, requiring that hespend something less than one-half ofhis time in economics and businesscourses.New Plan BetterThe four year program as adminis¬tered was entirely justifiable during aperiod of developing teaching materialsand experimenting with a business cur¬riculum. Now that the School has de¬veloped a well rounded business cur¬riculum and has made considerableprogress in the preparation of effectiveteaching materials, the surrender ofthe junior college curriculum seemsvery desirable. The action is also inkeeping with the present tendency ineducation to differentiate more sharp¬ly between the wrork of the junior andsenior colleges. Eat Candy? O.K.Say Business Men;Then We’ll DanceWhen the business heads in theCommerce and Administration schoolget together, ideas begin to pop anddances result.Realizing that there was money tobe made by someone because of thecandy habit of students, C. and A. stu¬dents decided to be the someone andestablished a candy counter at themain entrance of the building con¬ducted by themselves.1 he money earned enables theschool to give at least one and fre¬quently two or more mixers eachquarter. The counter is tended by agroup of girls who have formedthemselves into an association to seethat commerce students buy theirsweets at the counter.DIVISIONS FORMUNION IN SCHOOL NEW GRAD CLUBADDS TO GROUPSOF BUSINESS MENPlan to Keep Close ContactWith UndergraduatesIn SchoolPolitical Economy CoursesBring Commerce SchoolsALUMNI ASSOCIATIONIS YOUNGEST GRADS’CLUB AT UNIVERSITYThe School of Commerce and Ad¬ministration Alumni Association isthe youngest of the several associa¬tions at the University of Chicago,having been organized in 1921. Al¬though this association is an infant, inyears, it is one of the most active ofthe Alumni groups.The normal yearly program for theC. & A. Association consists of threedinner meetings, one held each quar¬ter. with well-known speakers and art¬ists. At the Autumn quarter meetingscheduled for December 9th at theTraffic Club Judge Victor P. Arnold,Chief Justice of the Juvenile Court ofChicago, and Miss Florence Brinkman,natinally known concert pianist willhe presented.The Alumni of the School of Com¬merce and Administration realize thatthe popular conception of their schoolamong undergraduates in the othercolleges, is that C. & A. is a place"here students spend four years inisolation, cramming their heads full of"Polly con” and passing up the pleas¬ures of “college life.” They fornfed,therefore, a society which they calledthe “Sons and Sisters of the SilverSimoleon.”l.ach year the seniors ara “initiated”intii the Alumni association with aceremony which lightly acquaintsthem with the problems and responsi¬bilities that confront seniors if they areto carry out their C. & A. trainingaccording to the “popular conception.”I he secred slogan is “Save Simo-leon-s Steadily and See Squanderers•Suffer, and Stifle your Sensitiveness;Set your Stride and Seek SuccessSeriously." There are about 300School of Commerce Alumni in Chi¬cago and a good percentage of themembers attend the quarterly meet-iugs. A study of the development ofschools of commerce in America dis¬closes the interesting fast that inpractically every institution theschool of commerce was in the begin¬ning an offspring of the departmentof political economy.This development characterizes thedevelopment of the School of Com¬merce and Administration at the Uni¬versity. For many years Mr. Mar¬shall was both chairman of the de¬partment of Political Economy andthe dean of the School of Commerceand Administration. When in 1924Mr. Marshall resigned from the dean-ship and Mr. Spencer became theDean, the School of Commerce andAdministration And the departmentof Political Economy were formallyseparated. Actually, however, Mr.Marshall and Mr. Spencer were com¬pelled to work very closely together.In view of this general situationthe Faculty of the School of Com¬merce and Administration on May 14voted to enter into a more or lessformal co-operation with the Depart¬ment of Political Economy. During the current Autumn Quar¬ter the graduate students of theSchool of Commerce and Administra¬tion organized a graduate club. Al¬though the organization is not yetcomplete, its activities are being plan¬ned under the guidance of Mr. J. C.White, formerly an instructor in ac¬counting at the University of Virginia,Miss Rachael Marshall, a graduate ofthe University and Miss Ursula Batch-elder, a graduate of Bryn Mawr.Club Worth WhileAs the promoters of the GraduateClub view the situation the Clubshould perform several worth whilefunctions. In the first place, it willserve as an agency in bringing all thegraduate students of the School ofCommerce and Administration togeth¬er and getting them acquainted.In the second place, the Club plansto schedule lectures from time to timeby outstanding business men. In thethird place, it will be a recognized unitin maintaining its contact with theGraduate Club of the University forwhich a club house has been providedo.n University Avenue, near the Quad¬rangle Club.

MEAT INSTITUTEON HIGH LEVELTrains Small NumberMen for Big Jobs OfThree years ago leaders in thepacking industry approached Univer¬sity officials and proposed the presentform of co-operation in the Institutef meat packing. They cited the factthat university men were being em¬ployed in the industry in rapidly in¬creasing numbers, and urged the uni¬versity to point the training of someof these men for the packing industry.The four year course ocered in theInstitute of Meat Packing is based ona careful selection of courses in thenatural sciences and the social sciencessupplemented by a general survey ofthe field of commerce and the appli¬cation of principles of rommerce tothe packing industry.Students finishing the courses mustserve an apprenticeship in the indus-trytry and there master the details be¬fore they are particularly useful andbefore their university preparationmay be Turned to real account.The Institute of Meat Packing isjointly administered by the Universityand the Institute of American MeatPackers, the net cost being paid bythe latter. Include New CourseIn Winter QuarterThe Commerce and Administra¬tion school has added a new courseto its curriculum which will he giv¬en for the first time during theWinter quarter. The new courseconsists of a survey of principles ap¬plicable to construction and inter¬pretation of accounting records.During the first part of the quar¬ter the class is to study the close re¬lationships between policies and or¬ganization of business and account¬ing systems and also to become fa¬miliar with the various mechanicalequipment and types of accountingin modern use. The last half ofthe quarter will be devoted to thestudy of the entry of records andreports.Course 213 or the consent of theinstructor will be the prerequisiterequirements of the course. Largeorganizations will be used as theexamples for study in the course.Several different types will be ineluded.COMMERCE SCHOOLGROUPS ACTIVITIESUNDER ONE HEADStudent activities in the Commerceand Administration school centeraround the student association of thatsection of the University. Thisorganization is the intermediary bodybetween the students and faculty ofthe school.The activities of the associationare directed by a student councilwhich sponsors the activities of theCommerce and Administration stu¬dents. Several mixers each year, lec¬tures by prominent business men, theUniversity Journal of Business, theComad club and the candy counter inthe C. and A. school are supervisedby the association.Students Lose to Colleges In Law Williams Endowment FundKeeps School OnSound BasisBalance Sheet, Jr.Vies With MaroonCompetition for The Daily Marooncrops out in the Commerce school.I lie Balance Sheet, Jr. a mimeograph¬ed newspaper is being distributed bi¬monthly to students and faculty indie school by the Student association.• he sheet not only competes witht he Daily Maroon, but goes it onebetter and emulates the city dailies byheading each issue with a cartoon. Thenews is usually feature material andtends toward the humorous. In thelast issue of this quarter a contribu¬tor s column was inaugurated. By MILTON KAUFFMANMr. W. Frend, student at Jesuscollege, University of Cambridge in1793, published a pamphlet againstthe established religion of the uni¬versity. More recently, in 1924,Miss Helen Hunt committed the in¬discretion of ringing cowbells andparading in the halls of the dormi¬tory at forbidden hours while a stu¬dent at John B. Stetson universityin Florida. In both cases the stu¬dents were expelled and later broughtsuit against the authorities. Neithersucceeded.While the matter of expulsion andsubsequent legal reprisal by the stu¬dent is not a new thing in collegiateannals, the English system of expul¬sion is a bit more formal than thatprevalent in.America.Different in EnglandIn English universities a quasi¬public tribunal, known as the vicechancellor’s court and made up ofthe vice chancellor and the majorpart of the heads of the colleges with¬in the university, tries certain of¬fences which in this country wouldbe cognizable by more regularlyconstituted courts of law. During theeighteenth century it was necessarythat tha student be charged specifi¬cally with the offense as listed in thecharter of the university. Thus theoffense took on a semi-criminal char¬acter and the vice-chancellor in somecases could order imprisonment.Chapel Question Comes UpThe good old question of chapelattendance came up in North vs. theBoard of trustees of the Universityof Illinois. The University of Illinoisin 1891 required all students to at¬tend a ten minute morning chapelservice. It appeared that it was thedaily practice for one of the mem¬bers of the faculty to read a por¬tion of the New Testament, repeat the Lord’s Prayer, sing religioushymns and so forth. Foster North,a student, refused to attend chapeland was expelled. The court said, indismissing Mr. North’s suit for re¬instatement, that the rule was notunreasonable, especially since Mr.North could have been excused fromchapel by so requesting.Courts Favor FacultiesThat the courts are quite slow tofind the collegiate authorities unrea¬sonable is indicated in Gott vs. Bereacollege, a Kentucky case. Accordingto the court reporter, the local colorwas as follows: “Berea college, whosestudents were largely immature andinexperienced, and which itself pro¬vided board and lodging for a nomin¬al charge, could prohibit the stu¬dents from entering eating housesand amusement places in the townnot controlled by the college, on painof dismissal.” The court emphasizedthe basis of its decision with thestatement that “college authoritiesstand loco parentis concerning thephysical and moral welfare and men¬tal training of the pupils.”Probably one of the most curiouscases along this line is that of Gold¬stein vs. New York University. Gold¬stein, a law student typed a note ad¬dressed to a young woman in one ofhis classes. The young lady prompt¬ly reported the matter to the deanand Goldstein denied writing thenote. The faculty thereupon held aninvestigation, proved that Goldsteinwrote the note, and dismissed him,—not only for writing it, but for ly¬ing and perjury as well.Files ActionGoldstein filed an action to re¬strain the university from excludinghim for classes. The court said, “Theletter was entirely respectful. Themost that can be said of it is that itwas unconventional, the young ladybeing a stranger to the plaintiff. The letter was as follows:March 18, 1902“I beg to take the liberty andpleasure of writing this note to you.Desiring to have the honor of youracquaintance I have tried to accomplishsame through several of my friendswho said they did not know you per¬sonally. Therefore, thinking it wouldbe uncourteous to present myselfwithout your assent, I ask if I may doso in the classroom, or otherwise sub¬mit to any suggestion you may make.Hoping I am forgiven for the intru¬sion I make, I remain, etc.”Prove Perjury ChargeThe court, declaring that the uni¬versity had not proved its chargesof lying ordered that Goldstein he al¬lowed to attend classes. On a re-hear¬ing, however, the University provedthe charges and the court reversed itsdecision.Among other cases, where the courtshave upheld the college authorities, ithas been decided that the college hasthe right to ordain that students weara prescribed uniform, to prohibit haz¬ing, and to forbid students to becomemembers of secret societies. In the lat¬ter connection, Mr. Justice Lawrenceof the Illinois Supreme court said,"We perceive nothing unreasonable inthe rule itself since all persons familiarwith college life know that the tend¬ency of secret societies is to withdrawstudents from the control of the fac¬ulty to impair to some extent thediscipline of the institution.”Public Schools FavoredThe courts view the rules of uni¬versities which are supported in wholeor in part by public funds more criti¬cally than those of private institutions.Thus in Baltimore university vs. Col¬ton it was held that the universityhad no right to expel a student forirregularity in attending classes. “In¬deed,” says the court, “the schoolseems to have been regulated for the convenience of impecunious but am-bituous young men who had to workelsewhere during the day and often atnight.”Although the colleges have wideauthority in dealing with expulsions,they are more restricted in applyingthe same rules as pre-requisites foradmission. Purdue university in 1882had a rule stating that no studentwould be permitted to be connectedwith any secret society while at Pur¬due. Thomas Hawley, a member ofSigma Chi applied for admission andwas rejected. The court ordered thatMr. Hawley be accepted as a student,saying “The possession of this greatpower (as to expulsion) over a stu¬dent after he has entered the univer¬sity does not justify the impositionof either degrading or extraordinaryterms as a condition of admittance toit.” 'Must Have HearingIt is further stated that “a collegecannot dismiss a student except on ahearing in accordance with a lawfulform of procedure, giving him noticeof the charge and an opportunity tohear the testimony against him, toquestion witnesses and to rebut theevidence. The court on the basisof this doctrine ordered the Uni-sity of Minnesota to re-instate a stu¬dent who was expelled for insubordin¬ation, and in an Ohio case the sameorder was entered where the studentwas expelled for carrying a gun, ly¬ing, and acting as a general bad man.While the student in very few casesgets a favorable decision in an actionfor re-instatement, his lot is still hard¬er where he seeks a money judgmentfrom the authorities. In such cases thecourts say that the student cannot re¬cover, even though the authoritieswere unreasonable, if the latter actedin good faith, and not “wantonly, wil¬fully, and maliciously.” In February 1894, in response tothe growing demand for a course in“University instruction which wouldprovide professional training for thepractical work of business in its va¬rious branches,” Professor J. Law¬rence Laughlin, head of the depart¬ment of Political Economy, present¬ed to the Senate of the University aplan for a School of Commerce andIndustry.The plan was approved by the Sen¬ate with the recommendation thatthe school be started as soon as pos¬sible. It was not until 1898 that theplans were finally matured and theCollege of Commerce and Politicscame into being. Although duringthese intervening four years it hadbeen voted to establish a separateand distinct college, and there hadbeen much discussion as to curricu¬lum, yet when the College of Com¬merce and Politics began in 1898 itwas not a separate organizationeither as to administration or curri¬culum.Authorize Separate SchoolIn 1902 a separate school with itsown faculty and its own administra¬tive officers was authorized. The fac¬ulty consisted of all those giving in¬struction in the college and five mem¬bers at large appointed by the Boardof Trustees. It was authorized tomake its own regulations concerningthe work, subject only to the approv¬al of the Senate and the General Ad¬ministrative Board. The first facultymeeting was held on April 26, 1902,and there are records of facultymeetings until May 22, 1905.There are no official records offaculty meetings from this date un¬til April 8, 1914. Henry Rand Hat¬field, assistant professor of PoliticalEconomy, now at the University ofCalifornia, was appointed dean, inwhich capacity he served from 1902until 1905. He was succeeded byFrancis Wayland Shepardson in 1906.Leon Carroll Marshall succeeded Mr.Shepardson as dean in 1909.Rockefeller Gift AidsIn 1910, when Mr. Rockefellermade his final gift of ten million dol¬lars to the University, the Univer¬sity Senate formed a committee toconsider ways in which the gift couldbe used to strengthen the divisionsthen existing in the University. For¬tunately for the College of Com¬merce and Administration, one waythat was chosen was to have Mr. Mar¬shall make a study of the American-Schools of Commerce, schools ofcivics and bureaus of municipal re¬search.• After this study had been madethere was a reorganization of theschool in 1912, and from this time,under the guidance of Mr. Marshall,the College of Commerce and Ad¬ministration began a. period of rapiddevelopment which culminated in itsbecoming a professional school witha distinct faculty and curriculum ofits own. Gradually technical courseswere added and the scope of the Col¬lege was broadened to give trainingnot merely for business alone, but forcommercial teaching, public serviceand philanthropic service.Change Name AgainIn 1916 the name was changedfrom the College of Commerce andAdministration to the School ofCommerce and Administration, as itis known today. In 1916, anotherevent occurred which did much to aidthe School, the donation by RobertWilliams of the Eli B. Williams andthe Harriet B. Williams endowmentfund. This endowment yields abouteighty thousand dollars annually, andhas, of cource, placed the work ofthe School upon a firm financial ba¬sis. •Because of poor health Mr. Mar¬shall resigned as Dean in 1924 andwas succeeded by William HomerSpencer, who had been an assistantdean in the School of Commerce andAdministration for four years.Page Twelve THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1926AUTO STORAGEGreasing Oiling WashingACCESSORIES —TIRE REPAIRSGASOLINE AND OILUniversity Auto GarageNEAREST TO THE CAMPUS1169 East 55th Street Phone Hyde Park 4599 SHOPlilSI-KETTT.TaiE ITHiEEYou Must Hear the New BrunswickAppreciate It.You Will Marvel at its Clear Tone and RemarltVolume!HEAR THE PANATROPE ANY EVENING ATUNIVERSITY BRUNSWICK SHOT1173 East 55th Street Near Woodlawn AvPhone Hyde Park 902 1oWe Carry a Complete Line of Stringed InstrumentsAccessoriesAtwater Kent Radios and RadiolasAll Makes of Radios and Phonographs RepairedoOpen Daily 9 A.

CARY GIVESTHE INSIDE DOPEON IMPURE FOODAnd Tells How Sources ofPoison Outbreaks AreRun DownBy DR. WILLIAM F. CARY(Of the Department of Hygiene andBacteriology >It is unusual to find an individualwho has reached middle life withouthaving had one or more gastrointes¬tinal upsets which he has ascribed tosome food.Practically any food may be respon¬sible and it makes little differencewhether it be home prepared, home or, commercially canned—the symptomsare very similar. In cases in whichonly one or two are ill it is often im¬possible to trace the responsible food,if a large number become sick aboutthe same time, the food responsible canoften be determined by a careful in¬vestigation by a trained epideincologistbacked up by a laboratory examinationof the suspected food.Newspapers HelpThe prevalence of an outbreak isoften brought to our attention bynewspaper articles. By cooperatingwith the local health officer, we areable in many cases to secure additionalinformation and sometimes find that hehas procured remnants of the foodthought to be responsible. We alsoget the cooperation of the doctor andare permitted to approach the ill fromwhom we may secure data on thefoods eaten during the past forty-eighthours.Seek SourcesCorrelating this information securedfrom several victims, we often findthat all who were ill ate some particu¬lar food while those not eating thisfood remained w’ell. Such a fact isof the utmost significance and leads usto a direct investigation of the food inquestion—its source, method of stor¬age and preparation before eating andthe presence of toxin or dangerousbacteria in the remnants of the food.ROWS AND ROWS* A new organization which has pos¬sibilities of national spred has beenfounded by a few men in the medi¬cal school. The typical actions of themembers can be classified by thewords queer and pseudowitty and theblood groupings for the individualsseem to fall in the same group, name¬ly the common donor type. These re¬markable facts seem to prove thatthese brothers in bond are not gath¬ered through sheer love of comrade¬ship but have been destined by fateor what have you to lay the corner¬stone of a fratority of a lasting char¬acter.We, the trustees present to theworld the ROWS to be known nowand forever more until death do thempart as the Royal Order of WetSmacks.—DR.

A.Sprague Memorial Institute. MissMaude Seye has bred mice throughmany generations and studied the oc¬curence of cancer in strains bred forforty and more generations. Miceseem to show a great variety of can¬cerous growth, even more than wasformerly supposed.Study With MicroscopeThese cancers have been studied mi¬croscopically by H. Gideon Wells andMiss Harriet Holmes.The mice show qualities inheritedfrom their parents among which arethe tendency to resist or to succumbto the development of cancer. Thecancer itself is not inherited, but thetendency to acquire cancer is heredi¬tary and it is indeed remarkable tonote the similarity between offspringand parent of the type of cancer ac¬quired and its location.The general conclusion to the ex¬periments thus far run is that suscep¬tibility to cancer is hereditary in theMendelian manner with the resistancebeing the dominant characteristic.Same Effect On ManAs human statistical evidence onthis subject is inconclusive, the resultsof these experiments casts much lighton the problem. Heredity in man be¬haves in the same manner as in otheranimals. Cases of human cancer fam¬ilies have been observed, which pos¬sibly may have been coincidents, but,nevertheless, the results of the miceexperiments are interpreted to meanthat resistance and susceptibility tocancer are hereditary, the susceptibil¬ity being the recessive character.Miss Seye’s work is one of the few-hopeful notes in our knowledge ofcancer.LAUD LUNCHEON FORGREEN CAP FRESHMANThe Green Cap Club luncheons atwhich Mr. Frank O’Hara, Dean Simp¬son, Coach Stagg and President Ma¬son addressed the Freshman candi¬dates for club membership were themost successful of Freshmen events.Their success was due in part tothe active backing and co-operation USE INSULIN TOTREAT DIABETESDoes Not Cure But DoesAllow Use of SugarsBy DR. F. C. KOCHInsulin is being used at the presenttime in the treatment of the diseasediabetes mellitus. The disfunction ofthe pancreas makes the body helplessas far as ability to use carbohydratesas food. Insuln enables the body toboth use and store sugars. It appearsto convert ordinary glucose into aspecial type of sugar, which type isnecessary for storage and utilization.Whatever advances that have beenmade in the purification of insulinhave not only been of material aid andcomfort to the many diabetic but havebeen the stimulus and means for moreintensive academic study of carbohy¬drate metabolism.Although insulin has been greetedand generally accepted by the medicalprofession as a valuable mode of treat¬ment of diabetes, the facts remain thatafter all it neither cures the diseaseor tells us why the pancreas is notfunctioning as in the normal person.which the “Y” furnished. The spon¬soring of these luncheons was justone of the many ways in which the“Y” helped the incoming freshmen tobecome acquainted with the spirit andideals of the University.The “Y” hopes to continue the plannext year and if possible to extend itto reach larger groups of the neo-plytes. The Green ap -Club this yearattracted a larger group than last year. By JACK KINSEYResearch on the subject of the thry-roid gland started years ago in thePhysiology department. The earliestwork was to determine the suscepti¬bility of man and all available labora¬tory animals to the poisonous effectsof thyroid feeding in order to deter¬mine whether any disorders in maninvolve excessive secretion of the thy¬roid gland. Drs. Kunde and Carlsonfind that nearly all of the symptomsof so-called toxic goitre in man canbe reproduced in animals by excessthyroid hormone feeding.Another line of investigation wasundertaken by Dr. A. J. Carlson. Thissubject concerned the influence of themother on the thyroid of the off¬spring. It was found that if the moth¬er had a thyroid enlargement duringpregancy the young were horn withgoitres. If, however, the mother’sthyroid enlargement had occurred be¬ fore pregnancy and had returned tonormal during this period, the youngwere not afflicted with goitre.Need Early StartA problem now being studied byDr. Knude and others is that of ex¬perimental cretinism or thyroid de¬ficiency. The results have showed that“thyroxin” feeding could not entirelyreplace a normal thyroid. However,treatment rendered by feeding thewhole gland restored the animals tonormal, if started early enough.Y. M. C. A. AssistsGreek OrganizationThe Y. M. C.

CLOSE UNITY ISALL-IMPORTANTAMONG SOENCESCooperation In Past CauseOf Medill DiscoveriesAnd ImprovementsBy B. C. H. HARVEY(Dean of Medical Students)One of the most encouraging fea¬tures of the medical work of the Uni¬versity of Chicago is its close associa¬tion with all the other departments ofthe University and especially with thedepartments of science. This associa¬tion corresponds to and expresses theunify of science.The study of the human body andits diseases is a study of biology, ofstructure and function running througha seventy year long series of processeschanging in relation to changing en¬vironment.Need CooperationIt is not surprising then that theproblems of medicine have been solvedin part by physicists like Helmholtz,chemists like Pasteur, and biologistslike Harvey. It is apparent that co¬operation between medicine and thesesciences is essential.Such cooperation has always existedin the University of Chicago. Thegroup of scientific departments estab¬lished in the first years of the Uni¬versity included some that are oftencalled “medical” such as anatomy andphysiology, even though there was nomedical school. We have recentlyadded clinical departments of medicineand surgery and others will follow.THAT’S the way P. A. talks to you in the bowlof a pipe.

By WALTER EMIL MARKS(Captain 1926 Football Team)The football season is over. Thefact that our university did not turnout a victorious team is being for¬gotten in the face of new interests:basketball, Interscholastics, and. ina month or two, blackfriars. Iwonder if they would not too haveforgotten a conquering eleven, say,perchance, we had won. PersonallyI shall never cease to regret thatduring my last year at the Universityom Chicago I could not have cap¬tained a victorious squad.Football has been hashed and re¬hashed by moralists, editorial writers,preachers, wild-haired undergradu¬ates, and what not. It has beendemned and appraised. It has beenlaureled as the one bright spot inthe life of the American collegeyouth where he is taught the reli¬gion of sportsmanship. It has bee/iflayed alive as a time-consuming de¬mon devouring precious momentswhich might better *he spent in medi¬tation and study. As to its real By WALTER ECKERSALL(Chicago Daily Tribune Sports Writ¬er, Big Ten Official, and ExMaroon All-American.That football is the king of inter¬collegiate sports and will continue togrow in popular favor, if properlylegislated, has been shown by theenormous crowds which have attendedthe struggles in recent years.There is something about thisgrand old game of football which ap¬peals to all, the old as well as theyoung. Those fortunate enough tosee the Army-Navy game, which at¬tracted a gathering of 111,000, sawjust as many elderly persons in thestands as young folks.

ForDickeson, Calvin, and Drew, of theinvaders, although not stellar indi¬vidually form a smooth working com¬bination. Their defense is fair andthe fact that they held Michigan dur¬ing the first half makes them formid¬able.Worry over next weeks’ final examsis the most serious handicap of CoachNorgrens Maroon-men. No attempthas been made to force a fightingframe of mind upon the team. AsNorgren says, “Its all in the frameof mind that the men take into thegame, and its a question as to howthey will respond.”During the past week the defenseof the midway team has been workedup to a fine point and the passingwhich was ragged to the ’nth degreein the Oak Park ‘Y’ game has beenthoroughly smoothed over. Alto-gether the team is in much betterworking order than they were lastweek and even though the game isreally only a conditioning exercise,the Norgrenites are set to tearthrough to an impressive win.Last year the same team trimmedChicago by a one point margin. Thevictory was the result of a singlebreak in the second half. STAGG APPOINTS VERSATILE MENAS INTERSCHOLASTIC HEADS; CITYH. S.

I believe that the “Old to any particular weakness of the in-Man” is responsible for nearly all of dividual player. Such individual phy-the “real value” of athletics, football 3jCal defects generally originate fromin particular, here at Chicago. It is from two distinctly different sources:(Continued on Page 4) Either they are inherent in the in¬ dividual,—in which case they shouldhave been remedied earlier in lifeby proper Corrective Gymnastics, or,as is most frequently the case, theyare resultants of previous injuries.In order that such personal weak¬nesses be detected and properly diag¬nosed, every player is submitted toa thorough physical examination bythe team physician. The results ofthese examinations are carefully re¬corded and filed for future refer¬ences; and wherever the diagnosis re¬veals any noteworthy defects, cura¬tive treatments are at once prescrib¬ed to permanently eliminate thetrouble, if possible—while at thesame time, in ord.:r to prevent furth¬er injury, temporary protectivemeasures such as braces and band¬ages are applied during every prac¬tice in which the player engages.Three Important Features John McDonough, stellar Maroonathlete in three sports and presidentof his class (’28), has a new job.Mr. Stagg has selected him as stu¬dent manager of The Ninth AnnualBasketball Interscholastic, which isto be held next March 30, 31, andApril 1 and 2.Will Cooperate“This is the realization of a hopesecretly entertained by me since theday that I decided to come to Chi¬cago,” said McDonough when in¬formed of his appointment, “and Iwill cooperate with the World’sGreatest Man to help make this year’smeet the World’s Greatest Inter-scholastic.”That Johnny should cherish thehope of some day managing thisgreat affair is an expression of hisdeep interest in athletics. He par¬ticipated in the Fourth, Fifth, andSixth National Interscholastic meetsas a member of the strong Yankton,S. D., team, and it was through thisgreat athletic spectacle that he cameto the Midway for his college career.Was Prep StarHe was injured during the lastInterscholastic which he participatedin so seriously that his life was indanger, but he fought to recoveryand continued with his athletics.Since coming to Chicago his ath¬letic prowess has brought him andhis team much fame and constitutesone of the reasons for his selectionto the new honor.Other activities which show him acapable man for this highly respon¬sible job are his positions on the Set¬tlement di’ive and Interscholasticcommissions. He is a member ofDelta Kappa Epsilon, Skull and Cres¬cent, and Iron Mask.MIDWAY FOOTBALLOUTLOOK FOR 1927IS MUCH BRIGHTERBy C. V. WISNER, Jr.(Former Daily Maroon News Editorand Campus Correspondent ofThe Chicago Tribune)That football, after hitting thedepths at the Midway this fall, isonce again on the upward climb,seems fairly well assured at thiswriting, in spite of the bellowingsof malcontent alumni who can do nobetter than predict a similarly dis¬astrous campaign next fall, to capthe tragedy of the one just past.Seasons, such as the Maroons justpassed through, come regularly toevery team, though perhaps not soseverely. Iowa, like Chicago, is suf¬fering from the same sickness—mo¬notonous defeat. Illinois felt it in1921 and 1922, Ohio had its troubleslast year, but adroitly came to thefront again this fall, Michigan struckthe valley in 1919 and 1924, whilefrom 1917 to 1923, the most loyalPurple supporter would have hesi¬tated in saying that Northwesternhad a good year. ‘Yet these teamshave survived the sickness, and, per¬haps, been the better for it, and Chi¬cago seems destined to do the same.The best barometer of a Maroonteam’s capacity, is the schedule CoachStagg selects for them.

There isan excellent opportunity for doingthis since the men are all from Chi¬cago, therefore the chance for somehighly concentrated rushing.”Bill's activities include head cheer¬leader, Intramural carnival man¬ager, Interscholastic Commission,and varsity track and swimmingsquads.

FENCING GAINS FIRMPLACE IN WORLD’SATHLETIC CALENDARCoach and Player Give PersonalVersions of Japan Baseball TripBy NELS NORGRENIn August 1925, the University ofChicago baseball team started on itsfourth quinquennial tour to Japan asguests of Waseda University of Tok¬yo, Japan. The itinerary includedfour stops in the Northwest enrouteto Seattle, nine days at Honolulu,Hawaii, about a month and one halfin Japan and ten days at Seoul inKorea, or Keijo, chosen as it is nowknown under Japanese administra¬tion, with periods totaling about thir¬ty-five days of ocean travel. Thistour has prompted The Daily Maroonto request an article for the annualChristmas edition on the educationalvalue of the trip to the members ofthe team.It seems to me that the importanteducational feature was the actualcontact the boys had with the variousphases of life that they met, whichcreated a first hand interest in thesenew things for them, and even thoughthere are plenty of books writtenabout the places we visited, the boysprobably would never have develop¬ed an interest in the Orient had theynot had their interest awakened byfirst hand contact. Several of theboys have told me that since return¬ing from the Orient they have readevery book, newspaper and magazinearticle concerning the Far East thathas come to hand.Study GeologyAlthough our mission was osten¬sibly to play baseball we had suf¬ficient time and opportunity at thevery outset to become acquaintedwith some of the actual phases ofgeography and geology which mostof the boys had studied in college.There were the vast wheat fields ofthe Dakotas, the cattle ranges ofMontana, the extensive apple orch¬ards of the Wenatchee valley, thelumber mills and the fish canneriesin Washington.

There is noquestion in their minds now as towhether they enjoyed themselves ornot. As to how they played baseballI will not, as one of the party, ven¬ture to say. This article is writtenfor the purpose of showing that theysaw the world in a manner whichwill cause the memory of the trip tostay with them as long as there isanyone to listen to them hold forthon the subject.Memorable experiences began verysoon after leaving Chicago. Whilespending a day in Glacier NationalPark the team was introduced col¬lectively and individually to Mr. II-vin S. Cobb. And after meeting himone realizes why his literary endeav¬ ors are so popular. His conversationshows that the author and the manare the same. Writing, talking orthinking his ideas and ways of ex¬pressing them are always consistent.In the great Pacific Northwestwere many new sights. Anyone whohas ever been in a gigantic lumbermill seen logs four to five feet indiameter and fifty feet long tossedaround as we would handle a batcan but marvel at the way scienceand machinery serve the race.Off For HonoluluAs the President Pierce steamedthrough the Golden Gate westwardbound it was felt that the trip wasreally begun. It took six days tomake the trip to the Hawaiian. Is¬lands, and after remaining in thisearthly paradise for a week the teamlined up to watch the board depict¬ing the non-stop flight from SanFrancisco to Honolulu.

MERRILLInterest and activity1 in fencinghas been on the increase during theyear now ending, both abroad andin this country. The numerous eventsboth national and international,which marked the European seasonwere heavily attended by competitorsand spectators and there was muchbrilliant competition. Lucien Gau-din ,the most famous of Frenchswordsmen, has been challenged forhis title of world’s champion by theItalian professional Aldo Nadi, theItalian champioq of this year in foil,duelling sword and sabre. The pro¬posed match will be specially inter¬esting (if it comes off), because ofthe opposition of first-class represen¬tatives of the Italian and of theFrench schools of fencing.In America it is the latter schoolwhich has become established andthere are few fencers who are versedin the other. Gaudin, by th way,jn consequence of a dispute with lastyear’s champion of France in duell¬ing sword, Armand Massard, methim in duel and was lightly but de¬cisively wounded ,a number of othtrduels, with no more than slightwounds as results, are recorded inthe official bulletin of the Interna¬tional Fencing Federation. The eld¬er brother of Aldo Nadi has in thelast few weeks won the Italian cham¬pionship tournaments in all threeweapons, and must now meet Aldo todetermine the final title; there isenough rivalry between the two tomake the matches vTy keen.In this country the number offencing clubs established grows asan understanding of the sport reachesmore and more of the public.

An effort was made to choosethe players for their own capabilitiesand not because they happened to lookwell on a winning team. It will benoticed that most pf the players weremembers of teams that reached thesemi-finals. There are two reasons forthis: first, the men were seen in ac¬tion oftener and with better support;second, in most cases these men werelargely responsible for their team’sposition.Liat QualificationsGordon was probably the best all-round player of the season. Hisspeedy, deceptive running, accuratepassing, and remarkable kicking makehim the logical leader of the team.1 ody is placed in the backfield withGordon because of his marvelous run-ning and short-passing ability.

Growth of I-MAthletics In BigTen RemarkableBy DR. C. O. MOLANDERIntramural AdviserIntramural Athletics have grown inrather a haphazard manner. But to¬day there is rather a definite trend inthis field. In the Western Conferenceit had its first beginning at Ohio StateUniversity in 1912, and at the Univer¬sity of Michigan in 1913. In bothplaces it was just a branch of the Ath¬letic Association.In the year 1919 a new era in intra¬mural athletics had developed. Thegreat World war had just closed and,as a result, there was a tremendousimpetus given to athletics, especiallyin the colleges and universities thru-out the country. The Western Con¬ference athletic heads were quick torecognize its significance and took ad¬vantage of the situation. Up to thistime there had been little effective or¬ganization along intramural lines.Ohio State university and the Univer¬sity of Michigan, with their increasedenrollent and as as result of the cumu¬lative experience since 1912, reorgan¬ized and created departments of intra¬mural athletics.The other Big Ten schools werequick to follow the lead of these twouniversities, until at the present timeevery Western Conference universityhas its own department of intramuralathletics, anu officially recognized assuch. Each are headed by well-trainedmen and they are giving all or thegreater part of their time to this gi¬gantic task. Taking Michigan as anexample, we find that they have a full¬time intramural director, an assistantdirector, a field supervisor, an intra¬mural trainer, and office stenogra¬phers, all of whom are paid, and in ad¬dition they have a well organized man¬agerial system under their control. Theneed for such supervision is immedi¬ately seen when we note the growthof intramural athletics in Michigan,in 1912 there were 2058 engaged in 13intramural sports, and in 1925, 10,336competed in 24 sports.As a result of this remarkablegrowth, Ohio State university calledthe first conference of intramural ath-(Continued on page 6)GOLF TOURNAMENTWAS BIG SUCCESSBy DONALD BELLGolf ManagerFall golf for 1926 had the largestnumber of entries and a greater num¬ber of men who actually played thanin other years.

The variety ofsports available is much larger thanduring either of the outdoor seasons,and many more participants are to bebenefited.Basketball is the most important ofwinter sports. There are very few whohave never played basketball. This ac¬counts in part for the popularity ofthe game in I-M circles. It is rumoredthat nearly a hundred teams will playthis wdnter. These teams will be di¬vided into leagues of six memberseach, of which there will be five fra¬ternity, two non-Greek, and two grad¬uate groups. It is advisable that theteams begin practice as soon as pos¬sible. Before the official season opens,the Bartlett courts are to be reservedfrom 7 until 10 o’clock every eveningfor teams wishing to practice.Bowling PopularBowling is the most popular minorsport of the Winter quarter. Matcheswill be held on the Reynolds studentclubhouse alleys. It is expected thatevery organization will enter a teamin this tournament. The fact that thescores are automatically entered onthe Western Conference TelegraphicMeet board creates an added incen¬tive. The Ohio State I-M departmentannually awards a cup to the winnerof this tournament. Handball rankssecond in interest among the minorsports. Matches in this are played inthe courts under the west stand.Fowl-shooting, wrestling, boxing, andfencing will complete the program ofminor sports for the Winter quarter.As a grand finale to the wintersports the Intramural department of¬fers the Winter Athletic Carnival.Here the finals will be held in basket¬ball, track, wrestling, boxing, and fenc¬ing. At the conclusion of the variousevents, all prizes and awards for theWinter quarter will be presented tothe winners.Only Twenty of 115Games UnplayedA successful touchbali season wasterminated with the victory of Psi Up¬silon over Phi Sigma Delta for thechampionship. One hundred and fifteengames were scheduled and of theseall but twenty were played. Thirty fra¬ternity teams, five club teams, and fivegraduate groups entered. This is thefirst year that a graduate league hasbeen successful. Reconstruction ofI-M DepartmentShowing ResultsBy JOHN HOWEGeneral I-M ManagerIntramural competition is at thepeak of an astonishing boom. Threeyears ago the athletic department tookover the loosely organized Interfrat¬ernity sports schedule, revised ~itspurpose from one of strictly fraternitycompetition to one of “sports for everymale student” and molded the new In¬tramural Department into a highly et-ficient, business-like organization. Un¬dergraduates retained the managementof the new Division of the AthleticDepartment, but Doctor C. O. Mo¬lander was appointed Intramural Ad¬viser.The new Department soon foundthat it had tapped a rich vein of inter¬est. A genuine love of athletics, plusfraternity and Intramural-club compe¬tition, plus a little timely pushing onthe part of Intramural officials broughtsurprising results. The records showthat last year some five thousand men,counting duplications, competed in six¬teen sports. Over thirteen hundreddollars was expended on trophies andawards.Reach Saturation PointCompetition between fraternities hasconstituted up to the present, the bulkof the business. The saturation pointhas at last been reached. The chiefconstructive work of the IntramuralDepartment from now on will be thedevelopment of interest among the twothousand unorganized men in school.Not an easy talk. Non-fraternitymen are just as keen about sports asfraternity men, but they do not havethe group interest to drive them on.The solution, of course, is to give themthat group interest. Again, not aneasy task. And not an impossible one.The Intramural Department is now at¬tempting to organize these men intocontinuing social groups, according tosome common interest or commonbackground other than their interestin sports. If the Intramural Depart¬ment can do this it will have accomp¬lished a thing immeasurably more im¬portant, even, than the building ofgood bodies in University men.INTEREST WAS KEENIN HORSESHOE TILTSBy WALTER H.

All-Star TeamsMere Comedies ofErrors, Says Fry(Continued from Page 1)ently the most popular way, is byguess work.If I should pick an All-Americateam, which I certainly am not quali¬fied to do, I should have to do it bywhat I have gleaned from reading ac¬counts of various games thruout theseason and by conversation withplayers, coaches, and officials.If I put Benny Friedman, the grfeatMichigan general, on an All-Amer¬ica team, then some fan who sawMichigan play the Navy would comeforth with the comment that I wasout of my head. Likewise anyonewho saw the Wolverines play OhioState would be thoroughly in favorof my choice.Consistency for the season shouldbe the first requisite for choosing aplayer for an all-star eleven. Twoyears ago Austin McCarty played ascintillating game against Illinois.Never before had he risen to suchheights, and incidentally he never didagain. Anyone who saw that gamealone that season would have pickedMcCarthy for an all-star team andyet logically he could not have beenplaced on such an eleven, merely onthe basis of that one performance.It is unfair to say that one playeris better than another. Who am 1to say that Baker of Northwestern isa better player than Wilcox of Pur¬due? If Wilcox had played behind aline as strong as that of the Purplehe might have been rated the besthalfback in the country. The sameapplies to Nick Kutsch, Iowa’s cow¬boy halfback. A star is handicappedby playing with a comparativelyweak eleven, and it is therefore un¬fair to him to pick some other playerahead of him.Just an example of the foolishnessof trying to choose an All-Americanteam. An eastern scribe, of whosewriting I am quite fond, picked ateam. In his honorable mention col¬umn he named Gustafson of Minne¬sota, instead of Northwestern, andfor Purdue he named Wilcox andPhelan. The gentleman may or maynot know that coaches no longerplay in the Big Ten, but neverthelessJimmy Phelan found his way intothe list of star players.With very few exceptions all-starteams are somewhat comical but I,along with the rest of the boys, willkeep on choosing them since the side¬line experts, who buy the papers,keep insisting that they appear. ECKERSALL TELLSWHY FOOTBALL ISPEER OF SPORTS MARKS DISCOURSES ON PAST SEASON(Continued from Page 1)fessional, is foreign to those activelyinterested in the development of foot¬ball teams and the players who aremembers of the various elevens.Sportsmanship of the highest typeprevails and better citizenry results.While the. world war had a lot todo with placing football among theforemost of American sports, drasticchanges in the rules had a lot to dowith the kindled interest. Followingthe season of 1905 when Chicago de¬feated Michigan in a memorablestruggle, 2 to 0, the rules were dras¬tically changed.In 1906 came the forward passand the ten yard rule. Pushing andpulling of the player with the ballwas eliminated and with it went thebone crushing mass plays, the flyingwedge and turtle back formations.The new rules opened up the game,threw the players more on their ownresources and above all the ball isin sight of the spectators most of thetime.Each year, the coaches are perfect¬ing the attacks and the same sort ofcunning used in planning a strongdefense to meet these offensives.Under such conditions the game willcontinue to improve and if legis¬lated in the proper manner, themammouth stadiums which have beenbuilt at some of our institutions maynot hold the crowds in yearscome. to (Continued from Page 1)he that actually tunes into one thesong of sportsmanship and the tingleof red-blood.There is no glory that quite equalsthe glory of the gridiron when theband plays the victory song after thegame instead of the alma mater.Their is no chagrin quite so acid asthe chagrin of defeat when the bandplays the alma mater after the gameinstead of the victory song. Yet itis all in the game. And in spite ofthe fact that there are well-enough-meaut slaps on the back and kindwords saying “thats alright old man;you played the game—that’s all weask,” their is a feeling, an unthwart-able, volatile feeling that just “is.”Perhaps it is that “feeling” that givesfootball all the real, intrinsicallymetaphysical value that it has. Per¬haps it is that “feeling” that firstteaches a man that age-old lesson“keep on top and you’ll always stay on top”—“be a loser and you'll shakedown.” It isn’t because of the aene-mia of human nature; it isn’t becausepeople aren’t “big, kind folks,” it’ssimply because it’s “the way 0f allflesh.” In business, in football, in de-bate or on tfie pulpit it’s the winnerthat is the success. It isn’t the in¬significant sacrifices, the self-pity andthe martyrdom-complex—its gettingyour teeth in the sod and eatingthrough. The football grub is toughmeaty stuff that’s hard to masticate-the business grub is hot, steamingbelly-warming stuff; the debate grubis stimulating stuff like chili-sauce orginger-ale; the pulpit grub is fragile,meticulous asparagus or celery. Soit’s all a matter of taste. God helpthe fellow that picks the tough meatif he has a tongue for chili-sauceand ginger ale.And I wish the 1927 team a worldof success. May they all be meat-eaters.8?

For the coming campaign,Stagg has chosen one of the stiffestschedules that a Maroon team hasever faced, and in this writer’s opin¬ion, he is not doing so without rea¬son; in booking Oklahoma, Indiana,Purdue, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michi¬gan, Illinois, and Wisconsin, Staggis planning to put a team in the fieldnext year that will be able to copeeffectively with such opposition. Notthat the Maroons can expect to sailthrough such a sea of terrors unde¬feated, but they can expect to acquitthemselves much better than theydid against their far-easier oppositionthis fall.But once in the past decade hasStagg gone out of his way to arrangegames with teams for whom he wasunprepared on the gridiron. In 1925,after a championship year, with onlya few veterans missing, and with ahost of good new material to add tohis squad, Stagg topped off the yearwith Dartmouth and Pennsylvania. Indoing so, his judgment was notwrong, for he had the material togo through the year undefeated; buthe could not destroy the dry rotwhich spoiled the team, and it felldown on him.Now to become specific as to nextyear's prospects.This year’s line started out almostabsolutely green. Ken Rouse was theonly man in it who had ever playedconference football, aside fromWolff, and the two veterans wereheavily overbalanced by the five nov¬ices. By the end of the season, how¬ever, the line stiffened, and began tofunction defensively; it failed ut¬terly on the offensive. A green linecan be brought up to defensive ef¬fectiveness in about two months, andsuch was the history of the presentMaroon line, but it takes more liketwo seasons to create an offensiveline, chiefly because linemen are nev¬er taught offensive football in highschool, and it takes more time tolearn this branch of the game than itdoes the defense.Cameron and Neff are the only twolinemen who will be missing nextyear, and their tour of duty occu¬pied but a part of each game,chief line prospects for next yearseem to be Weaver and Reeves,though there is some question as towhether the latter will be in school.Weaver, a gigantic youth who woulddwarf Bud Henderson, last year’stackle and captain, seems likely togive both Sol Weislow and Paul Lew¬is a hard fight for their positions.Given a year’s experience, and for¬tified by this smattering of new bloodStagg’s veteran line ought to func¬tion effectively both on offense anddefense, and a line that does thatalmost invariably means touchdowns.Captain Wally Marks, Stan Rouse,and Bert McKinney are missingfrom the backfield, but there will bea number of new men to take theirplaces, and work out with Kyle An¬derson and Leyers. Gleason, whowas hurt most of this fall, may de¬velop into a powerful bucker and off-tackle driver, as may Libby, anotherhalf, and Klein, at fullback.Telephone Midway 9628Ladies and Children’s Hair Bobbing andShinglingJACK WITTESANITARY BARBER SHOP1165 East 53rd Street, Nr.

To¬day there .is less of the old blahabout the pretty girls, the velvetsward, and the embattled warriorsof the gridiron. (I make an excep¬tion in the recent political affair,and its columns of Army mule andNavy goat.) You no longer read aparagraph about the band and itsevolutions. Occasionally an enthu¬siastic M. E. will shoot one of thepathos gals out to write a featureabout a Red Grange, and the resultis awful to contemplate, but that isnot football reporting.The point is that, except in un¬usual cases, the “color” story is notnow the chief element of the foot¬ ball report. There is less of the |lyrical quality, too; less of the at¬tempt to get the hip and hooray andrah into print. Occasionally youwill run across i lead like that whichfollowed the sad excursion of theMaroon team to Penn in 1925:“Robed in glory and mantled in mud,the gallant sons of William Penn.”But only occasionally.Mr. Stagg might not concede thepoint, but I am afraid that the firstdemand in any sports story nowadaysis not accuracy (except in thescore); not profound analysis; noteven how the touchdowns were made.It is, instead, for a sort of wise¬cracking style that will afford 60per cent amusement and 40 per centinformation. Ring Lardner intro¬duced that sort of thing, and a lot ofimitators have tried to follow himsince. But they lack Lardner’s rareability to be both funny and inform¬ative.Sometimes the present school ofcycinally smart reporting will sacri¬fice accuracy to the “wow” line. Forwhat is regarded as real sport writ¬ing just now, not in football only,is the attitude of sophisticatedcynicism.

Illinois University has a newswimming pool 75x60 with a seatingcapacity of 3,000. The University ofWisconsin is talking of a new pooland Ohio State hopes to have onesoon.; Most of the high schools inthe east have large swimming poolsand room for large audiences. Thecity schools of Chicago are buildingpools .75x40 and a few' schools willhave two pools.Swimming is one of the oldestsports mentioned in history, and itis now possible to enjoy it the yeararound in most parts of the world.There are more people engaged ac¬tively in competitive swimming thanany other sport, with the exceptionof football. More people participatein swiming than all other sorts com¬bined. Age size and physical imper¬fections are no handicap except incompetitive swimming. We all real¬ize that exercise is necessary but of¬ten think of it as a dose of medicine.Swimming as an exercise is that kindof medicine, which, once tasted, youwant the whole bottle.Today a club or school is not com¬plete without its natatorium. Howmany fail to point with pride to,“Our swimming pool,” when showinga guest about the club or campus?Swimming is one of the two interna¬tional sports, is the third best payingindoor college sport, and in manycolleges the only sport that pays foritself, except football and basketball.With the enlarged space availablefor spectators and the number par¬ticipating in the sport, swimming isnow classed as one of the majorsports. .. ,.•O^STTOOIUV•5609• HflRPER-f^VE••Pt!IO^C‘t1yDE:■{’ftRtV82a2••fMsr-mcfroGRfipnn\- GROWTH OF I-MATHLETICS IN BIGTEN REMARKABLE(Continued from page 3)lctic directors six years ago.

The tropicalsetting of Honolulu with its plants,fruits, flowers and scenery entrancedus with its incomparable color andbeauty.

Declaring the eight manuscriptssubmitted to be the best that Black-friars has seen for years, the com¬mittee of three judges announced lateyesterday that the script of WilliamNelson Fuqua had been selected forthe 1927 show to be presented May21, 27 and 28.Fuqua, who is a graduate of theclass of 1925 and is a member of Un¬dergraduate Phi Beta Kappa, wrotehis libretto during the eight monthsthat he spent in Paris this year. Theplot is laid in the French capital anddescribes the adventures of fourAmerican University students, twomen and two women, abroad. Withone man posing as a French countand with an old maid school teachera member of the party, Fuqua laidthe scene so that it would be welladapted to comedy situations.Chosen for StyleJudges stated that the manuscriptwas chosen in preference to the otherslargely because of its excellence ofstyle. Fuqua, while in school, wasthe University candidate for theRhodes Scholarship award, was amember of the Honor Commission, aSenior Marshall, a member of Black-friars casts for two years and wasactive in dramatic work. He wonscholarships in French for four years.He is a member of Beta Theta Pi.The original title of the manu¬script, “Plastered in Paris” will notbe retained it was announced.

Six or eight of uswere talking it over the other night.Some were unconvinced that a fra¬ternity is any nobler than a Rotaryclub or Odd Fellows lodge. Othersstood up for the old frat (theirs),and said that it had made them bet¬ter men—amen! The rest of us werenierely openminded. CITY EDITOR PRAISESMAKEUP OF MAROON,BUT OFFERS NO JOBSrpHE best thought of the night, itseemed to be, was that whichfound utterance in the statementthat those who were disillusionedabout their fraternity were merelydisillusioned in their illusions. Theyhad come up from high school withnice ideas about things in college—the nicest of all about fraternities—and they had been fooled. So theysoured on the frats. Actually, noton the frats, but on their illusions ofthem,—but they did not know it, nothaving thought things out logically.They had come to college expectingthe brothers to die for them and the°ld club—instead, as they shouldhave, of expecting the loan of a•dean collar, or tooth paste, or some-fhing, when they didn’t have it them-selves. They did not grasp the ideathat a fraternity's idealism should bePractical—should operate in terms ofstead of lives laid down at the god-dess &ltar.

WASHBURNE(City Editor, Chicago Evening Post)The Daily Maroon has been reachingmy desk regularly for several months,and, although a city editor of a merto-politan newspaper is supposed to be acynical person little given to praise, evento the deserving, 1 cannot help but con¬gratulate you on your paper.The schhool of journalism you followon The Daily Maroon might well becopied by any of our local papers inEvanston, Oak Park, or Cicero, and mybest wish to you at this season is thatyou keep up the work.In the long run there is no professionin the world, I believe, that is so satis¬fying as ours. True, the work is hardand the pay is poor, but a person writingfor a newspaper, and writing well, hasthe satisfaction of knowing that he isreally doing something, something thatseems more tnagible than posting in adouble-entry ledger.Many of our best writers and corre¬spondents today obtained their start“scribbling” for college and school pub¬lications. They are innoculated with the“journalism bug” and nothing will dobut they take up some form of newspa¬per work. It has been said that a manor woman once appearing in a stagepiece for a salary always refers to him¬self or herself as "an actor.” The samemight be true about the newspaper pro¬fession, with moderations; once a news¬paper man, always a newspaper man.“Keep up your good work and whenyou have finished at the University, tryfor a job on some paper. Incidentally,my staff is full. With a greater University of Chi¬cago planned and with evidences ofthe “Chicago of the Future” alreadytaking form in brick and stone, theUniversity development committee isworking toward raising a sum up¬wards of fifty million dollars withinthe next fifteen years, according to astatement made yesterday by com¬mittee workers.Since the inauguration of the drivein April, 1924, the thirteen milliondollar mark has been topped by $71,-000, the latest report of the officeshows.Weiboldt Hall, Whitman ZoologicalLaboratories, the new Medicalschools, and the Physiology buildingare the first results of the drive. Inaddition to these buildings, SwiftHall and Joseph Bond chapel havebeen added to the University throughspecial donations. On the west endof the campus, the chimneys of thenew power plant have already begunto rise, while more projects as yetunannounced will be seen on campus Longworth LaudsCollege In LetterTo Daily MaroonYour letter of recent date is re¬ceived, and I am glad to be able tosend a Christmas message to collegemen and women through the mediumof The Daily Maroon. I look backupon my own college days as oneof the happiest periods of my life,as well as one of the most important.While undoubtedly the most im¬portant element of college life isthe obtaining of an education, yet tomy mind the acquisition of knowl¬edge should go hand in hand withthe development of the power of in¬dividual thought, the development ofthe body by participation in collegesports and the development of human understanding through contactwith fellow students. I have foundl^rom my own experience that thefriendships of college are lasting andtrue. The jjoung men and womenwho complete a well-balanced collegecourse are in my opinion bestequipped not only to render realservice in life, but to secure from itthe maximum of enjoyment.With best wishes, I am,Very sincerely yours,NICHOLAS LONGWORTH,Speaker of The Houseof RepresentativesCampus ComediansProvide Fun forFreshman JubileeProminent campus vaudeville starswill provide entertainment for thefreshman party this evening.Janet Goode, who played lead in theMirror’s production last year, MarvinHintz, star of the 1926 Blackfriars,and Hortense Fuqua have been se¬cured to entertain between dances.Kenneth Ward and his orchestrahave been selected to furnish the mu¬sic and everything indicates that thisfirst party of the class of thirty willbe a complete success.

He furtherstates that Blackfriars compare fav¬orably with similar organizations atother universities and hold their ownby reason of their splendid fellow¬ship.According to Mr. Coleman, Black¬friars fosters sentiment and their an¬nual production marks a homecomingof alumni that is one of the mostspontaneous and friendly expres¬sions of feeling during the year. Inreviewing the history of Blackfriarssince his advent as coach, Mr. Cole¬man places the writing of worthwhilesongs for the University as the out¬standing accomplishment of the Or¬der of Blackfriars.Lauds “Naughty Nineties”Mr. Coleman believes that the mostpronounced hit of any of the Friar’sproductions was “The Naughty Nine¬ties,’’ presented in 1919 and writtenby “Teddy Linn.” He awards “WeAre Chicago,” by Norman Reid, theplace as the best single song pre-sented by Blackfriars.The music for “The NaughtyNineties” was written by Lew Fuickswho is now a successful song writerand pianist. Lew also played the pi¬ano in the Blackfriars’ productionsfor three years and directed the or¬chestra for two, these being the onlytimes that a student has ever direct¬ed the orchestra.Seek ImprovementBlackfriars constantly seek to im¬prove their productions by introduc¬ing new features and new methodsof training and production. Thedancing class, to be started this year,is one of these innovations.“The present year suggests moreprogress and real competition in thewriting of manuscripts than we havehad in many years. I look forwardto a more unified effort this year anda better and more interesting play,”says Mr. Coleman. He also hopes tosee a time when there will be a stu¬dent art school to design and pre¬pare all scenery and costumes andwhen there will be a student orchef-tra to furnish the music for the an¬nual productions, both of these or¬ganizations being under the perman¬ent guidance of the University.Old Campus Dr&matStars Now FamousOn Stage, In PressThat participation in college dra¬matics means something more thana good time is evidenced by the for¬mer presidents and leaders in tinDramatic association who have be¬come highlights in the world of playcriticism, playwriting and acting.Among the presidents are BarrettH- Clark ’12, who has won interna¬tional fame as a dramatic play critic,Donald Breed, ’13, author of “The1 urple Dream,” recently produced inNew York, and William Ghere, ’24,"ho has been playing heavies in astock company.Former members of the association"ho have won the limelight are Car-*'n Crandall and Kathleen Wallace,both of whom are now on Broadway Handschy ThanksFrank H. O'HaraFor The YoungestBy FRED HANDSCHYThat it could hold even the super¬ficial young men seated in smallgroups on the side-aisles, inhibitingtheir almost inevitable wisecracks isreal praise for the performance of“The Youngest” in Mandel on De¬cember tenth.The production was the debut ofthe new permanent stage set recent¬ly purchased from the surprisinglywell-filled coffers of the DramaticAssociation. Certainly it was a wiseand a sound move, that purchase, afact confirmed by the result. It waswell used, and well lighted, thanksto the talents and the efforts ofGeorge Downing in whose presencethe university is undeniably fortun¬ate.Written Seriously“The Youngest,” like “YoungWoodley” was written more or lessseriously; it treats the tragic prob¬lems of youth, in their inconsiderateenvorinment. To attend a perform¬ance of the latter play is to realizethe futility of trying to present thesetragic youthful problems as they are.True, the environmental backgroundis more in the comedy mood in “TheYoungest,” but still the hero repre¬sents a problem, and a sad one. Ahaudience uneducated beyond the sit¬uations of “Seventeen,” however, isunwilling to accept the true inter¬pretation. They want farce, andnow and then they get it in the localperformance.Russ Whitney’s very natural andvery much himself, presentation ofthe principal role was sympatheticunavoidably and appealing. Some¬times he seemed a trifle stupid ratherthan innocent, but on the whole hisperformance was more than good.The fact that he delivered the appar¬ently insipid love-lines in the thirdact with such sincerity as to precludethe possibility of a patronizing laughis his guarantee of dramatic force.Ruth PleatingRuth DeWitt was wholly likeableas the breezy Nancy Blake, in spiteof an occasional nasality which wasnot ingenues. Marion McGann, newhere this year brought a delightfulvoice (an important item on anystage) which in itself was betterthan any speaking voice I heard inthe four years I was in college; shewas a pleasing foil for the leadingpersons of the play.A1 Irwin, who has been hiding histalents under a bushel basket ofmusical responsibility for a longtime) emerged as one of the mostconvincing and enjoyable actors inthe play. Eleanor Metzel gave newevidence of her poise; her otherwisecreditabl performance was some¬what hampered by the persistentEaster-bunny gesture of her arms.Jack Stambaugh was, as before, rath¬er hurried and violent though compe¬tent; Dorothy Simpson gave a trueinterpretation of role that was sodifficult as to annoy the audience;Hadley Kerr was colorless, but audi¬ble.The smoothness and finish of theentire production was unusually goodthe ensemble scenes were exception¬ally good in the absence of awkwardforce. For this easy finish which isgenerally reputed to be unattainableamong amateur companies, as wellas for perfect cast-balance we canthank Mr. Frank O’Hara—to whomthe undergraduate “activities” owemore than they can know.and Lewis Beech, ’12, author of “TheGoose Hangs High” and Ann Broom.WRIGHT HAND LAUNDRYWishes YouA MERRY CHRISTMAS ANDA HAPPY NEW YEARWe solicit your patronage — We aim to give the bestservice — All work properly launderedMending free.Tel.

By the middle ofits first year, the Association hadpaid all debts, put on every produc¬tion to a profit and had a surplus inthe treasury. In 1925, the Associa¬tion and its friends expended nearly$300 for furnishings for the Tow¬er Room. This year, the Associationpurchased <unit scenery for Mandelhall, at a cost of more than $400.“With finished productions of mod¬ern dramas,” Jack Stambaugh presi¬dent declares, “and the inaugurationof the Playfest, the Dramatic Asso¬ciation has contributtd both enter¬tainment and cultural opportunity.” PRODUCERHamilton ColemanFriars Coached byColeman Since ’15Hamilton Coleman and Blackfriarshave been synonymous for the past•fourteen years.The first show to be directed byMr. Coleman was “The Student Su¬perior.” which was produced in 1914.Through these years the term “espritde corps” has come to have a splen¬did significance for Mr. Coleman inconnection with Blackfriars.

After leaving theUniversity Mr. Parker toured formore than two years with Pavlowa inthe United States and in South Amer¬ica.He left her company to servein the World War. Thereafter he waswith the Adolph Bohn Ballet, thenfor two years with John Murray An¬derson productions in New York Cityand London. Mr. Parker has studiedwith Ceccetti, the teacher also .ofPavlowa and Nijinski and other Rus¬sian dancers of note, with AdolphBohm, and with Dalcroze. He hasalso studied Japanese dances withMadame Kamora of Tokio.“The real thrill of my days onthe stage,” said Mr. Parker, “camewhen I danced in London on a pro¬gram which also included EllenTerry, Forbes Robertson and agroup from the Comedie Fran-caise.”Mr. Parker has recently stagedballets and dance features and wasfor some time a member of the fac¬ulty of Principia College, St. Louis.TOWER63 RD AND BLACKSTONE(9^ogAJjnrL(SAAOjijJcVAUDEVILLE^4ND THE BESTFEATUREPHOTOPLAYSComplete ChangeOf Program EverySunday & ThursdayBARGAINMATINEES DAILY ADULTS30^JUST THE PLACE TO SPENDAN AFTERNOON OR EVENING Dancing, besides being theworld’s most popular form of com¬mercialized indoor sport, is nownothing less than a university courseand Blackfriars, besides being theproducer of the world’s most popular amateur music comedies, accord¬ing to Phil Watrous, Abbot, may nowbe considered the sponsors of a greatmovement toward poise and fancygracefulness among undergrads.At least this is the idea which hasbeen broadcasted more or less offi¬cially from the coop behind the cur¬tain, known to campus as the Black¬friars office.Joe Barron CoachesThe class will start with the open¬ing of winter quarter under the per¬sonal direction of Joe Barron, cam¬pus clog star, Orpheum buck andwing performer and what have you.It will run from 1:35 to 2:05 four af-ternons a week and is open to allstudents whether interested in Black¬friars or not.

QUARTER INHISTORY IS CLAIM OF SECRETARYTom Paul, Milton D. McLean Guide Association ThroughFreshman Work, Church Program, FacultyMeetings, Mixers, Good TimesThe Christmas season marks theclose of one of the most active andisuccessful Autumn quarters in the his¬tory of the University Y. M. C. A.,according to Milton D. McLean, secre¬tary.Under the leadership of Tom Paul,student President and with the helpand guidance of Mr. McLean, the As¬sociation has conducted successfully,Freshman work, a church co-opera¬tion week, a membership drive, a fin¬ance drive, discussion groups and va¬rious social gatherings.Direct FreshmanThe Freshman work under the di¬rection of Minott Stickney was wellcarried out and resulted in the forma¬tion of a Freshman Honor group ofwhich Mr. McLean is the advisor.Campus sightseeing trips were con¬ducted in connection with the Y. W.C. A. and a Freshman Mixer was at¬tended by most of the Freshmen men.The Church Co-Operation commit¬tee under the chairmanship of AndrewSteiger laid the plans for, and carriedout a “Go to Church Sunday” the lastweek of October. This committee wasalso instrumental in developing a con¬tact between the neighborhoodchurches and the campus which hasresulted in a weekly church page inThe Daily Maroon.A Membership Drive under the di¬rection of Kenneth Stott added manynew members to the roll and saw theinauguration of a plan to establish agraduate and faculty membership.Stewart Clark as finance chairman,has laid plans for a finance drive whichwill be held some time during theWinter quarter. In addition to the drive among the students the Com¬mittee of Management Finance Com¬mittee carried on a successful financedrive among the faculty.A series of discussion meetings havebeen planned to be held in the variousdormitories and fraternity houses dur¬ing the Winter and Spring quarters.TOM PAUL, President of the “ Y.”Due largely to the efforts of the chair¬man of the Discussion committee thesegroups and the topics discussed atthem promise to be of unusual inter¬estThe Social program of the “Y” hasbeen a full one. Open houses havebeen held every Thursday in the Rey¬nolds club. Refreshments were sogood upon one occasion that the en¬tire “What Of It" column was devotedto its memory.A series of weekly parties have beenheld at the' homes of the various Fac¬ulty members and University officials.These parties have always had a ca¬pacity attendance of campus men andwomen.Success of Graduate Arts and LitsSchool Lies in Research Work—LaingBY GORDON J. LAINGThe Graduate School of Arts andLiterature was organized at the verybeginning of the University. It hasgrown steadily, but it is not in theincreasing number of its registrationthat its success can most clearly beseen. We should look rather at theresearch work done and publishedby the members of the faculty, at thejournals edited by them (there arehalf a dozen of them issued by ourPress under the auspices of differ¬ent departments) and at the long listof doctors graduated from the schoolwho are now occupying positions ofdistinction in the colleges and uni¬versities of this and other countries.The Graduate School of Arts andLiterature comprise the advanced di¬visions of all departments in thefields of the Social Sciences and ofLanguage and Literature. Admissionto the School is granted to studentshaving a bachelor’s degree from anycollege on the list approved by theAssociation of American Universities.While there are still some coursesopen to both undergraduate andgraduate students (e. g. courses inthe 300 group, open to undergradu¬ates with 27 majors, the trend in thegraduate school is distinctly towarda sharper differentiation betweengraduate and undergraduate studies. One of the ideals toward which weare working is the reduction to theminimum of courses of the purelyinformational type in the graduateschool. Such courses belong to thecollege and should be taken there.The characteristic feature of the ele¬ment of constructive work in grad¬uate courses reaches the maximumin the seminar, the meetings of whichare used for the presentation bythe students of the results of theirwork on the problems assigned bythe director. It is also used, althoughin a more limited way, in many ofthe problem—and research—courses.That lecture-courses should formonly a very subordinate part of thework of a candidate for the Ph. D.degree is coming to be more andmore definitely recognized.There is still another tendency incurrent discussions of the graduatecurriculum, namely the growing be¬lief that graduate students are re¬quired to take too many courses. Itis urged that students who have thebachelor’s degree from the Universityof Chicago or some institution withequivalent standards, have reacheda point in mental training whenthey no longer need formal instruc¬tion on all aspects of their subject,but should be allowed to cover manyof them by independent study.Annual WestminsterBanquet January 14In Hutchinson SouthPlans for the annual banquet ofthe Westminster Foundation arenearing completion. January 14 hasbeen selected as the date and theSouth Cafe of Hutchinson Commonsas the place. All students of Pres¬byterian faith as well as the mem¬bers, friends and sponsors of theorganization are invited.Miss Fay Thornton, chairman ofthe arrangaments committee, is plan¬ning for the largest banquet yetheld. Mr. George Campbell and his“Y” College quartette have been en¬gaged for the evening. Russians Take UpGridiron Game asBloodthirsty SportWith bloodthirsty enthusiasm, Rus¬sia is taking up football. A crowd ofmore than 50,000 recently watchedthe Moscow Football club conquerthe Odessa team, according to theColumbia Missourian.Moscow forged ahead in the scor¬ing in the first part of the game, andthen Odessa got busy. Knee-capswere broken, and several of the Mos¬cow players were carried off the fieldunconscious, and then the spectatorsfinished the job. Play was suspendeduntil the field was cleared of the fans. Raise $2700 ToSend WisconsinBand To GameAbout $2700 was taken in at theUniversity of Wi^tonsin Homecominggame for the purpose of sending theWisconsin band to the Michigan andChicago football games. Four hun¬dred sixty-five dollars were used tosend the band here to the University ami $1400 was returned to the UnionBoard for use when they sent theband to Michigan. A balance of$933.60 remains ir^m the entirefund.PUBLIC ASKS MEN“WHAT ARE IDEALS?”What are the ideals of students andwlyit kind of men are the student lead¬ers at a big university? is a question often asked by people who live in thesmaller communities. As an answerto this question the “Y” undertakes tosend out groups of campus leaders toform contacts with the boys and menof these towns.In the third week in January ateam composed of an outstandingmember of the football team and twoother student leaders will journey toNew Carlisle, Ind., to speak at a ban¬quet on Friday evening, conduct hikesor conferences Saturday morning, all the church on Sunday eveningIn this way it is hoped that a favorable impression of the Universityand its students can be created in thecommunities visited.The idea is to convey through arepresentative group of men frornthe University, a true conception 0fthe work of college men.

Mc¬Nair, head of the Military Sciencedepartment at Purdue UniversityMajor McNair has offered to use hisinfluence to arrange a special appointment if hone can be securedthrough the regular channels.Senator Deneen of Illinois willprobably be approached when theapplication is made, which must bewithin the next six weeks.Camp Aida“Wally is now completing hisfourth year in the Military Sciencedepartment,” says Major BarrowsProfessor of Military Science andTactics, ‘‘with a background of goodR. O. T. C. service in junior units inthe Chicago high schools. He was anoutstanding figure at the Field Artillery R. O. T. C. camp last summerat Camp Sparta, Wis., both in astrictly military and in an athleticway. The camp service showed hisqualifications for the grade of CadetMajor and secured for him the ap¬pointment.”At West Point, Wally will be givena four-year course of intensive train¬ing, and will be graduated an officerin the Regular army.No M. S. Grads InRegular Army; OneIn National GuardAs yet none of the Chicago gradu¬ates who studied in the Military Sci¬ence departmest have joined t%eRegular army, though many ‘holdcommissions in the Reserve force,which can only be called out by ac¬tion of Congress.Merle Wetten, wno was graduatedin 1923, is a member of the 124thField Artillery Unit of the Nationalguard. While in the University hewas a Cadet Captain and was one olthe first to graduate after four years1work in the new department, estab¬lished in 1919.FOUR COMMISSIONEDOFFICERS AT HEADOF MIL SCI DEPT.Four commissioned officers of theRegular army are at the head of theUniversity Military Science depart¬ment.Major Frederick Barrows is headof the department and bears the titleof Professor of Military Science andTactics. Captain Jewett Matthews, aChicago graduate, is assistant profes¬sor. The, other two officers areLieutenant William Blair and CharlesGildart.Major Barrows holds the degreeof Master of Arts from HamiltonCollege, and is a veteran of theSpanish-American and World wars.He came to the University in 1923to take the place of Major H. E.Marr who resigned.To assist this staff of commissionedofficers there is a technical sergeant,a staff sergeant, and twelve privatesfrom the Regular army. Cadet CommissionsHeld by Twenty-Four UndergradsTwenty-four undergraduate menhold commissions as cadet officers inthe University unit of the R.O.T.C.“Wally” Marks, football captain,is the ranking student officer, havingbeen commissioned Cadet Major bythe Military Science officials.Four men hold commissions asCadet Captains. From these four,Gerald Bench, Eldred Neubauer, Ed¬win Mattick, and Claude Brignall, thenext Cadet Major will be selected.Eight First LietutenantsEight were commissioned CadetFirst Lieutenants: John Chumasero,Harold Schwede, Francis Wilcox, Vi-talis Lewis Bassio, Louis Wulfekuhler, Jack Stewart, Maurice Hatheway,and Joseph Garen.The twelve Cadet Second Lieuten¬ants are Robert Stern, Ben Patter¬son, Arthur Ernstein, Harold Koer-ber, Alvin Singer, Paul Beiles, Will¬iam Clarke, Melvin Abramson, BuellScace, Bernard Sheehan, Giles Pen-stone, and Alfred Reiser.Commissions have been awardedthem for two or more years of consistent work, both here at the Univer¬sity and during the summer in campat Sparta, Wisconsin.MAJOR BARROWSHASN’T A HORSEMount Gets Sick, Then Dies;Major Trie* WalkingEverybody of rank in the MilitaryScience department has a horse ex¬cept Major Barrows, the senior offi¬cer of the Chicago R. O. T.

Captain Matthews calls his“ Swede.” In the daily routine ofMilitary Science department activity,however, the horses are known bynumber.A student is not allowed to keepone horse all year because, says Cap¬tain Matthews, he would then learnto ride a particular horse, not allhorses.Athletes At CampChicago Representatives at CampSparta Uphold LocalRecordsThe Chicago R.

Theplayers were required to keep theirponies at a walk until they had prac¬ticed sufficiently on the woodenhorses to insure «no injury to theponies. Mattick and Morrison werethe outstanding players.The authorities expect to continuepolo practice next spring on Green¬wood field. Games will be playedthere. A Short FallWill Get YouInto This ClubThe Order of the Tumblers it iscalled, and most appropriately. Forthe latest organization of the De¬partment of Military Science andTactics is composed completely andexclusively of those pseudo-horse¬men who have been precipitated fromtheir mounts at least once. The firstunfortunate is compensated with thetitle of President, the second withthat of Vice-president, and so ondown the line.The officers for the coming year,which promises to be a bannqr onein the history of the order, are:President, T. C. Potter; Vice-presi¬dent, C. W. Lenth; Secretary, J. R.Mattingly; Treasurer, E. C. Mattick;and Sergeant-at-arms, H. T. Parker.The Order of the Tumblers claimsas its distinguishing asset, that ofexclusiveness, and as possessing such,is forced to make the entrance re¬quirements exceedingly precise.. Tothat end, a potential member mustexercise the utmost grace in the per¬formance of his duty, which is, tofall from a horse.From the MajorIn many respects the year which is just coming to its closehas been one of the most successful in the history of the Uni¬versity unit of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. The acad-amic year 1925-26 showed an 84 per cent increase in the outputof reserve officers over the output of the previous year. Twenty-six received their commissions this past year.The record of the Chicago detail at camp was, in the opinionDf the Camp commander, Captain S. G. Brady of the Universityof Illinois, the best of the several units represented.The military ball of last year was, I believe, an enjoyableaffair, and I understand that it elicited much favorable commentan campus.There exists in the R.O.T.C. unit a very fine spirit of Na¬tional and departmental service, considerately fostered by theefforts of Crossed Cannon, the University honorary military so¬ciety.MAJOR F.

S. STUDENTS SPENDSIX WEEKS AT CAMPSPARTA, WISCONSINThe present system of R. 0. T. C.training was started in 1916, and waeintroduced onto the Uiversity campusin 1919.Before the year 1916, schools wereendowed by the War department atWashington to offer the studentsmilitary drill facilities, but no com¬mission in the Regular army, was of¬fered on graduation, and the coursesdid not prove popular.Since 1916, graduates from ac¬credited Military Science units, suchas the one at the University, are com¬missioned second lieutenats in theReserve army corps. Between the third and fourthyears of military study in the Uni¬versity Military Science departmentthe student is afforded six weeks’ va¬cation at Camp Sparta, Wisconsin,with no cost to himself.Military students from the Uni¬versities of Illinois and Wisconsinmake up the rest of the campers.Men from the three Universities arethrown together in order that ac¬quaintance and better feeling may befostered between the three schools.the men from the University heldthe baseball and boxing champion¬ships during the summer term lastyear.Until 1922 the camping experiencewa3 gained at Camp Knox, Kentucky.Local M. S. MenGive To No AvailUniversity military students wereafforded no special privileges as faras the Army-Navy game and its at¬tendant activities were concerned. ! Government equipment valued at$200,000 has been placed at the dis¬posal of the Military Science de¬partment by the War departmentofficials.Seven pieces of artillery, horsesand equipment, topographical instru-mets, and motor equipment are amongthe many things necessary to equipa department charged with the re¬sponsibility of training soldiers.A French “75” is the most popu¬lar gun with the students, accordingto Lieutenant Gildart, and most ofthe artillery instruction is done withthe help of this weapon.Greenwood field is provided by theuniversity as a place for riding, andfor longer jaunts the bridle paths ofthe parks and the path on the Mid¬way are available. The parks are alsouseful in map making.Stables for the thirty-seven horsesowned by this unit are rented fromthe South Park Commissioners.Special Insignia ForM. S. Officers Based- On Army EmblemsCadet officers in the R. O. T. C.have special insignia to denote theirrank.In place of the bars used in theregular army the R. O. T. C. employssmall white disks, one for a cadetsecond lieutenant, two for a firstlieutenant, apd three for a cadetcaptain. The army insignia is one gutbar for a second lieutenant, one silverbar for a first lieuteant and two sil¬ver bars for a captain. ELEVEN HEN INCROSSED^ CANNONGerald Bench AppointedGroup CommanderIncluding the men initiated No¬vember 10, eleven men are membersof Crossed Cannon, the honor societyof the Military Sciece department.Gerald Bench is the commander.The four men who were initiatedlast year with Bench and who arestill in school are William Lenth,Harold Schwede, Eldred Neubauer,and John Chumasero.Six men were initiated last month:Buell Scace, Harold Koerber, MelvinAbramson, Ben Patterson, MauriceHathaway, and Alfred Reiser.Meetings are held every Tuesdayevening in the Reynolds club. Theorder acts in the same capacity inthe military department that otherhonor societies do in the school ingeneral, seeking to promote the betterthings.One Type of UnitM. S. Department Offers Theor¬etical and Practical Mili¬tary InstructionOnly one type of unit is represent¬ed in the Military Science departmentat the University, the local depart¬ment being classed as a senior fieldartillery unit. There is a unit at Rushas connected with the University unit.Medical school but it is not consideredThe unit at the University wasfounded in 1920 in pursuance of theNational Defence Act of 1919. Up tothat time there was no Military Sci¬ence department at the University, asthe local authorities had not been infavor of having a department underthe old system of land grant endow¬ment.Two types of instruction are of¬fered by the University department,theoretical and practical.Along the line of the theoreticalinstruction courses are offered in mil¬itary history, field artillery ordnanceand material, topography and orien¬tation, motors and motor transporta¬tion, field service and communica¬tion, reconnaissance and minor tac¬tics, gunnery and conduct of fire,military law, and the military policyof the United States.Practical instruction is offered inequitation (two years), artillery driv¬ing and draft, mounted field artillerydrill, battery commander’s detail,polo, mounted games, mounted fielddays, ceremonies, gun drill, and ele*1mentary gunnery. Crossed Cannons Selects theTwo Cadet CaptainsFor HonorTwice before have the Universitycadets checked their spurs and hiedthem off to the South Shore Countryclub to the first and second MilitaryBalls. When the classic prom is heldfor the third time, Friday, January21, Cadet Captains Eldred Neubauerand Gerald Bench will lead. The twomen were elected by Crossed Cannon,the honor society for students ofMilitary Science.The committee is considering promi¬nent orchestras both in and out ofthe city. The orchestra last year wasCoon-Sanders, and the arrangementscommittee, in charge of the ball, as¬serts that if the Nighthawks are notagain secured, someone equally wellknown and popular will furnish themusic.Men in Other ActivitiesCaptain Neubauer, a member ofAlpha Sigma Phi, is a staff memberof the Business department of theDaily Maroon, is on the gym team,and is a member of Score club. Hewas senior cadet officer in the localunit of the R. O. T. C. until the ap¬pointment of Wally Marks as CadetMajor. Captain Bench, a member ofDelta Chi, is president of CrossedCannons, the military honor societyfor cadets. Neubauer is also a mem¬ber of this organization.The Grand March is unique. Ca¬dets in uniform mingle with civilianundergrads in dinner coats, andmarch with partners through an isleformed by stalwart cadet officers androofed by the crossed blades of theirsabres, and the roses held at arms’-length by *heir partners.Lack of OvercoatsPrevents CeremonyOn Armistice DayThere is one article of equipment,with snappy uniforms, riding boots,shining spurs, gleaming sabers, andominous-appearing guns not forgot¬ten, that the present unit is in direneed of, and which prevented thestagihg of a public military ceremonyon Armistice day. Overcoats are sad¬ly lacked by the University’s groupof battery commanders.Plans were definitely made, thecampus was informed of the cere¬mony and planned to attend, the flag¬raising program was practiced by thewould-be participants, and only achange hi barometrical conditions onNovember 11 prevented the militaryobservance of the holiday from be¬ing staged.|IN WHICH A FROSHSEEKS COOPERATIONOF BAND, R.O.T.C.As a freshman on campus, but onewho is definitely interested in thevarious activities of the school, andespecially in the work of the R.O.T.C.corps and the University hand, therehas been one thing that has made merather wonder during the last foot¬ball season.The University band appeared onthe field for every football game, in¬tent upon doing its very Jbest, but itsvery best does not compare, no mat¬ter how strong school loyalty may be,with other bands that took the fieldto blare forth the strains of the op¬posing team’s Alma Mater. One ofthe greatest defects, it seems to me,was the mistakes made during themarch of the Maroon and white-cladtrumpeters.What I think would lead to a decid¬ed improvement, and one in which theofficers of the R.O.T.C. might play animportant part, would be for the offi¬cers to supervise the marching prac¬tice of the band members, and workout plans to form letters easily onthe field.uiiiiB sm iPage Six THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1926©hr irnlg lHarmmFOUNDED IN 1901THE OFFICIAL STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOPublished mornings, except Saturday, Sunday and Monday, during the AutumnWinter and Spring quarters by The Daily Maroon Company.

It means Mother and Dad., And the meaning is not that ascribed by florists to Motherofc. tobacconists to Dad or Santa Claus to Christmas, but rathersomething that makes the mind incoherent and the pulse stronger.And yet we are complacent with the new order.E let Mother and Dad play Santa Claus on a scale that growsM3 higher every year.

They have been af-19 fected by the scepticism of a sceptical age. They do not be¬lieve except they see. They think that nothing can be which isnot comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia,whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great uni¬verse of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, ascompared with the boundless world about him, as measured bythe intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowl¬edge.fES, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly,as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, andyou know that they abound and give to your life its highest beautyand joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were noSanta Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias.There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance tomake tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment,except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhoodfills the world would be extinguished.NOT BELIEVE in Santa Claus! You might as well not be¬lieve in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men towatch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus,but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, whatwould that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no signthat there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the worldare those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever seefairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not. but that’s no proofthat they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all thewinders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.«OU MAY tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes thenoise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen worldwhich not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of allthe strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith,fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and viewand picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond.

The days have precipitated themselves past uswith unexpected haste. The end of the quarter surprises us intoretrospection.2(T has been a good quarter. The undergraduate affairs, always<3J the center of noisiest interest, have again gone through thecyclical round. They have been criticised, as always, and—theyhave had obstacles, but the fact which looms is that they havegone on, and flourished. The football men have played the game,and played it hard. The Daily Maroon has come out every daywith highly creditable issues. The vacant stretches around thecampus have resounded daily with the shouts of Intramural ath¬letes. Settlement Night has prospered. And so on.irrHESE “campus” things have come and passed, with approp-w riate fanfare of editorial and conversational trumpeting. Butthey have been the higher pitched notes in the symphony whichmight, with an effort, be compared to the whole life of the Uni¬versity. The deep, sweeping rythms have been the rythms ofwork. Classes have met with their old-time regularity. The lib¬rarians have been flooded with book-slips. Papers have beenwritten.Quiet men in their obscure laboratories and offices have ad¬ventured with new concepts and modified the old ones. The Uni¬versity’s work has gone on. The school is a quarter older and aquarter wiser.rrr HERE has been improvement, too. Undergraduate spirit hasw reached a new pitch. The faculty is larger. The President’soffice announces new gifts. New buildings creep upward. Morestudents seek admission. Things look well.It has been a good quarter.7?]THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1926 Page SevenCHECKSCopyright, 1926, by The Chicago Herald and Examiner.

By MAX MASONPresident of the UniversityThe program before the Univer¬sity of Chicago is that of increasedexcellence in all the enterprises inwhich it engages. This means asharpening and strengthening of ef¬fort within its various divisions—the graduate schools, professionalschools, an<f undergraduates. In thisprogram one division of the Univer¬sity will not be strengthened at theexpense of another; but on the con¬trary, every effort will be made tosecure such organization andstrength of performance that eachdivision will profit from the strengthof the others.Scholarahip for UndergradsIt is our program to knit moreclosely the spirit of scholarship intothe life of the undergraduate col¬lege. I do not mean by this that onlythose students should be admitted tothe undergraduate college who intendto become graduate students and spe¬cialists. I do not mean that “stand¬ards are to be raised” in the usualsense of that phrase. But I do hopethat through careful experimenta¬tion, methods may be found by vir¬tue of which the undergraduate stu¬dents, particularly in their juniorand senior years, may have oppor¬tunity to discover that participationin the intellectual life of the world,is a vitally human, dramatic, andadventuresome experience.Opportunity Word of ChicagoTo many students in the seniorcollege, opportunity may well begiven to assist in the great researchenterprises on the quadrangles. Ihope that the great body of under¬graduates may feel that opportunity,and not compulsion, is the word inthis Universniy. We are vitally iiterested in the undergraduates at theUniversity. We hope from them anequal interest in the work for whichthe University exists. £> vahitvThe PROPER ACCE&&61TIES FOR DRESSCLOTHESFor almost every occasionexcept a formal evening wed¬ding and opera box or a dip¬lomatic banquet, a dinner jac¬ket may be correctly worn.But on those few occasionswhen it is absolutely neces¬sary to wear dress clothes, aman must be correctly turnedout or he looks as though hehired his clothes and knewnothing about the etiquette ofevening dress. The first andmost important thing is thechoice of collar and tie whichshould be of the cut shownabove. The tie is necessarilywhite of washable pique andthe collar a wing collar withwide opening, that is mod¬erately high. Next in impor¬tance is the shirt whichshould always have a plain,stiff bosom with one or twobutton holes for studs whichshould preferably hold pearlsor imitation pearl studs.

Many of them answered uswith articles, most of which are nowpublished. But others of course wereunable to write, due to those rushesof work which tie up men and wom¬en at Christmas time.A few quotations from letters re¬ceived from those who were toobusy to write follow:Mrs. Coolidge’s secretary: “Itis her established policy not to writemessages.”From the equerry to the Prince ofWales, “His Royal Highness appre¬ciates the suggestion you make butregrets ”Mr. H.

To accomplish- (he end desired—well, as Chaucer said (of a quite differentmatter'' “in sondry landes sondry ben usages.” But the usage mostcommon at the well of knowledge is flattery. You didn’t dream yourbeloved instructors flatter you? Daily and hourly they do! Theyconstantly try to cajole you into drinking from the Pierian spring.Deep in your heart you tell yourself that though you may not be ainner in a beauty contest, a potential Phi Beta Kappa, or an All-American tackle, you have INDIVIDUALITY. There is somethingwithin you, you feel, not always hidden, that deserves to be marked“very special.” At this something educators aim their flattery; youwish to be an individual case; you desire“verv special” treatment. Hence is bornadvice to students, and as your thirst forflattery increases the number and variety ofadvisers increases: deans, greater or less;departmental advisers, advisers in activities,coaches, departmental secretaries, and un¬official “students’ friends,” all of whom haveas their duty the task of making you feelthat they take an interest in you. They con¬verse with you, some at length, some shortly;but fundamentally the method is identical.YOU ask your dean for a course in adver¬tising. He counters with an offer of onein “aesthetics.” The word is new,strange, and alluring. "Yes,” the dean says,“it’s a good substitute for advertising—almost the same thing fromone point of view. And (this with a wary look at you) just aboutwhat you personally need.” Well used to flattery you take this lastas compliment, and “sign up” without further question.What I suggest that you do about it is to meet all these “friends”and advisers half way—make yourself competent to take advice fromthem and to know when their advice is sound. How? Well, thePress prints annually some tons of pamphlets, a few ounces of whichGeorge Wiley Slierburn, Professor ofEnglish, makes an astonishing admis¬sion.Prof. Sherhurn has been instructingin the English department of the Uni¬versity since 1914. After these yearsof guiding young lives he comes for¬ward with the admission that they havebeen led by means of cajolery and flat¬tery, and tells the students how to pro¬tect themselves against such flattery.will tell you all you need to know about this University. Don’t becontent with a Time Schedule! Study the Undergraduate Handbook!Get the Announcements of Courses for the year, and study them.Don’t ask your dean or adviser what you should take—tell him!But ... be sure first that you know. It’s not hard to find out aftera bit of intelligent reading. Meet your dean on equal terms; showthe departmental adviser that you know exactly what his old sequencerequirements are and that you’ve got your courses all pickedlogically and legally. There is more joy in the office over one suchstudent than over the ninety and nine that docilely submit to havetheir courses dean-picked for them.THEN patronizing flattery goes by theboard. Dealing is on the level—on equalterms, and you cease to pine for “veryspecial” treatment. A few days ago an un¬dergraduate completed his entrance arrange¬ments for this University under “Plan B.”(I know you never heard of “Plan B” anymore than you did of the Pierian spring:never mind.) His dean made out a coursefor him in English and then ’phoned me totalk the plan over with the student. Thereproved to be no necessity for talk. Beforethe man reached me he had been so welltreated that as he left Cobb 303 he remarked(quite formally) : “In the state universitythat I’ve attended for three years theywouldn’t remove the least bit of red tape tohelp a man get what he wants. He’s one of thousands, and mustexpect to be treated as such.

SCOTTMY TRAINING as a big game hunter was largely confined toshooting the gophers that were devastating the fairway atour golf club. However, I decided if I could hit a gopher, Icould hardly miss an elephant, and fortunately for myself, thetheory proved sound. It was up in the unexplored mountainsnorth-west of Lake Edward in The Belgian Congo that Mr. and Mrs.Bradley gave their academic friends—Professor Bigelow of the LawSchool and me—the chance to deal with solid ivory outside the classroom. By a combination of good fortuneand hard work, ten days in elephant coun¬try had given each member of the expedi¬tion an elephant. Another day’s march andwe might not see any more. Bigelow andI. with another elephant apiece on ourlicenses, decided to stay behind the expedi¬tion for one more day.While natives scouted the country tolocate game, I went out to look after thetusks being chopped out from my first ele-plant. As I started for camp I met mydistinguished legal colleague escorted by sev¬eral genial cannibals from a nearby village,all on the way to some elephants reportedabout half an hour’s walk distant. Througha heavy rain, we scrambled up and downsteep and slippery footpaths until wereached the neighborhood where the ele¬phants had been feeding for some hours.The animals pay little attention to natives,but the scent of white men usually alarms them, and an approachupwind is always attempted. Fortunately the rain stopped, and weprepared for action. Speaking of big game—Mr. Scott took his A.B. degree atPrinceton in 1901, was an instructor attin* Syrian Protestant college, Beirut,from 1901 to 1907. won his master's de¬gree at Princeton in 1903. and came tothe Ghieago Theological seminary in1910. From 1913 to 1919, when he tookhis doctorate of philosophy, Mr. Scottwas an instructor in history at the Uni¬versity. He became an assistant pro¬fessor in 1919, and has been associateprofessor of history since 1923. Mr.Scott is the author of “The Introduc¬tion to the Peace Treaty.” How’s that?ear. a raised trunk, the curve of a back—but even with the fieldglasses not a glimpse appeared of the ivory which must mark thebull which it was both legal and worth while to shoot,We followed along as patiently as we could while our elephantsslowly drifted to the left, still keeping in the tall bushes, while thenatives above rolled rocks down the hill. We were dubious aboutthe wisdom of flushing a covey in that fashion but the situation waslargely beyond our control. At last in an open space a large headwith indubitable tusks came out.

To accomplish- the end desired—well, as Chaucer said (of a quite differenttter) “in sondry landes sondry ben usages.” But the usage mostmmon at the well of knowledge is flattery. You didn’t dream yourbeloved instructors flatter you? Daily and hourly they do! Theyconstantly try to cajole you into drinking from the Pierian spring.Deep in your heart you tell yourself that though you may not be ainner in a beauty contest, a potential Phi Beta Kappa, or an All-American tackle, you have INDIVIDUALITY. There is somethingwithin you, you feel, not always hidden, that deserves to be marked• V.erv special.” At this something educators aim their flattery; youwish to be an individual case; you desire“verv special” treatment. Hence is bornadvice to students, and as your thirst forflattery increases the number and variety ofadvisers increases: deans, greater or less;departmental advisers, advisers in activities,coaches, departmental secretaries, and un¬official “students’ friends,” all of whom haveas their duty the task of making you feelthat they take an interest in you. They con¬verse with you, some at length, some shortly;but fundamentally the method is identical.YOU ask your dean for a course in adver¬tising. He counters w’ith an offer of onein “aesthetics.” The word is new,strange, and alluring. “Yes,” the dean says,“it’s a good substitute for advertising—almost the same thing fromone point of view. And (this with a wary look at you) just aboutwhat you personally need.” Well used to flattery you take this lastas compliment, and “sign up” without further question.What I suggest that you do about it is to meet all these “friends”and advisers half way—make yourself competent to take advice fromthem and to know when their advice is sound. How? Well, thePress prints annually some tons of pamphlets, a few ounces of whichGeorge Wiley Sherburn, Professor ofEnglish, makes an astonishing admis¬sion.Prof. Sherhurn has been instructingin the English department of the Uni¬versity since 1914. After these yearsof guiding young lives he comes for¬ward with the admission that they havebeen led by means of cajolery ami flat¬tery, and tells the students how to pro¬tect themselves against such flattery.will tell you all you need to know about this University. Don’t becontent with a Time Schedule! Study the Undergraduate Handbook!Get the Announcements of Courses for the year, and study them.Don’t ask your dean or adviser what you should take—tell him!But ... be sure first that you know. It’s not hard to find out aftera bit of intelligent reading. Meet your dean on equal terms; showthe departmental adviser that you know exactly what hi3 old sequencerequirements are and that you’ve got your courses all pickedlogically and legally. There is more joy in the office over one suchstudent than over the ninety and nine that docilely submit to havetheir courses dean-picked for them.THEN patronizing flattery goes by theboard. Dealing is on the level—on equalterms, and you cease to pine for “veryspecial” treatment. A few days ago an un¬dergraduate completed his entrance arrange¬ments for this University under “Plan B.”(I know you never heard of “Plan B” anymore than you did of the Pierian spring:never mind.) His dean made out a coursefor him in English and then ’phoned me totalk the plan over with the student. Thereproved to be no necessity for talk. Beforethe man reached me he had been so welltreated that as he left Cobb 303 he remarked(quite formally) : “In the state universitythat I’ve attended for three years theywouldn’t remove the least bit of red tape tohelp a man get w'hat he w'ants. He’s one of thousands, and mustexpect to be treated as such. It’s a pleasure to feel that I’m gettinginto a place where they treat you as an individual.”If he continues to understand the “system,” he will continue tofeel that way about Chicago.

BOUCHERWITHIN the current year were pub¬lished two volumes of The Letters ofSir Walter Raleigh, who died in 1922.He was a distinguished scholar, author andprofessor in the field of English literature.Some years ago he was lecturing in thiscountry and a Princeton professor was tomeet him at the station when he arrived fora lecture at Princeton University. TheAmerican had never seen Sir Walter andwhen the train arrived tried to pick out aman who looked queer enough to be both aBritisher and a college professor. He ap¬proached a man and said, “I beg your par¬don, is this Sir Walter Raleigh?” The manthus addressed backed away slightly, lookedastonished and replied, “N-n-no. No! Iam Christopher Columbus. Sir Walter is inthe smoking compartment conversing with Queen Elizabeth.” WHEN the Democrats, after a l0ngperiod of being in the minority jnCongress, at last had control in I893.94 and set about to frame a tariff bill, theRepublicans had long insisted that the tariffshould be handled bv its friends, the Repub.licans, and that the Democrats knew nothingabout the question. At one stage of thedebate on the bill it was discovered that oneitem through some mistake had been put inthe wrong schedule. A Republican senatorimmediately seized the opportunity to re¬mark: “Since the framers of the WilsonBill have classified hydraulic hose in theschedule for wearing apparel, they havedoubtless remodeled that very strange meas¬ure so as to include hydraulic ranis andspinning-mules in the live-stock schedule.Since his appointment a little morethan a year ago to the position of Deanof the Colleges of Arts, Literature andScience, Chauncey S. Boucher has beenforced to shelve most of his activitiesin the field of American history. Mr.Boucher came to the University fromWisconsin in 1923. If the book, whichhe has half finished and has put asideuntil his work as dean is ended, hasanecdotes and stories as good as these,we will surely own a copy, even thoughit is history.WHAT ARE THE FACTS?By ALBON HOLDEN T9(Editor of the BIG TEN WEEKLY)R. STAGG, in his most interesting series of articles in theSaturday Evening Post on football of today and yesterdaymade the comment that there are almost no football writerson the daily newspaper sport staffs who are intelligently versed intechnical football and that the average account of a game in Satur¬day afternoon’s final editions or in Sunday morning’s paper is neitheraccurate nor skillfully written, from the standpoint of technicalfootball.I have no argument to make with Coach Stagg. In this instancehe is dead right. Football, as reported in the daily newspapers,even in the leading newspapers of the country, is rather shamefullyhandled.There are certain excuses that may be made for the sport writer,some of which the reader does not understand, but much of the rotthat is written in the name of football news is extremely boresomeand slipshod writing.One of the reasons for this poor handling of football is that veryfew sporting editors are college men. The number is increasingeach year, but the varsity alumni who manage the sport departmentare still in the minority. The average sporting editor knows hisbaseball, his boxing and his horse racing, but to him golf, tennis,baseketball, football and track athletics are a closed book. He musthandle them, but he takes little interest in how they are coveredand does not know a good reporter in these fields from a bad one.I doubt if out of one hundred leading sport editors in the countryif thirty have the slightest knowledge of the difference between atouchback and a safety, what “dormie” means in golf, the differencebetween a technical and personal foul in basketball, what constitutesa foot fault in tennis, or whether :48 or :58 is good time in the quar¬ter mile.And some of the sport writers who are taken off professionalsports during the short football season of two months in the falldon’t know much more about amateur sports.COMING HOME from the recent Michigan-Ohio State footballgame at Columbus there were gathered in the smoking com¬partment of the Pullman two football scouts, a couple of assis¬tant coaches and two or three real fans. Off in one corner sat a sportwriter, one of the best known football “experts” in the middle west.We talked over the game for a couple of hours.Finally the sport writer got up and ambled off to bed. “You fel¬lows make me sick,” he said. “You talk about a lot of stuff thatthe public never sees in a football game. Nobody gives a damnabout the interference, or the blocking, or the strategy, or the de¬fense against passes. All they want to know about is the guy whomade the winning touchdown. He won the game, didn’t he?”“I have got instructions from my boss not to write anything tech¬nical about the game. I’m just to pick out the guy that made thewinning touchdown and write about him and then on Monday I havegot to write another story about what town he is from, whether heis good to his folks and some personal color stuff. Our readers eatthat stuff up. I am not allowed to write technical football, and Icouldn’t if I wanted to, because all I can see in a game is what manmakes the touchdowns. That’s the news.”That’s what the average sporting editor and managing editorthink is the news. The real football fan digests the Sunday morn¬ing paper and is left hungry by its lack of accurate technical descrip¬tion of what took place. The sporting editor never heeds this largeelement in his circulation. He instructs his men to feed the bunkto those who don’t know much about football. It is the easier way.Perhaps it builds circulation. But I have never been sure aboutthat. THE PASTBy George Leo GruskinThere is a quiet, weird feeling in my heartFor something I once knew / know no more . . ..4 queer little tugging in my throat that gives a startAt memories of pleasures that have been and passed before.And sometimes I am moved to spend my thoughts in sorrowed wonderThat Life is full of things ire learn to love . . . and then mustleave . . .Surely God has made up for the laxness of this blunderBy making Death a place where we can find the past we grieve.CONCERNING IMPAIREDVISIONBy FRANK E. BELDEN(University of Missouri, .4. B. ’21, B. J. ’22)ALLOW me to voice a protest against the preachings of all thosewho are wont to condemn college education on the groundsthat it “doesn’t pay.”Many men (and women) who have not, for one reason or another,been to college are inclined to poke fun at the whole idea. As a rulethese people are—well . . . leadership in ANY field is hopelessly be¬yond their reach.And there are not a few alumni and alumnae—very recently gradu¬ated—who wish they hadn’t "wasted” four valuable years of theirlife. These are shortsighted individuals; nearly all of them will soonarrive at a clearer conception of their university training.According to my observation, a college education DOES pay.Some statistician somewhere once proved absolutely that, dollar fordollar, four years in college are a mighty good financial investment.They are indeed. With less than one exception in a thousand, theyare directly or indirectly responsible for an increased earning powerwhich could in no other way be obtained.Yet this is by no means the greatest advantage accruing fromcollege training. There are other benefits . . . immeasurable, deep,intangible benefits. Let me hastily mention a few:For one thing, there is social contact. No matter how technical astudent’s courses or his later life-work, he must live and move andhave his being in a social world—a world composed of people suchas he has learned to know and mingle with in college.A second benefit is the broad, general knowledge acquired. Howelse would you learn so much! Where else could you learn so manyvaluable, interesting facts about so many things!Thirdly there comes a something which I am at a loss to describe.This something is manifested in a thousand ways—sometimes asdecency, sometimes as good-fellowship, sometimes as leadership, some¬times simply as those priceless qualities associated with “lady” or“gentleman” (in the true meetings of these words).Call this benefit what you will . . . its importance is not to bemeasured by my poor powers of description.In closing, just a friendly word to those who will soon be competin?—economically and in every other way—with persons who have lap-parently) a four-year headstart:Don’t be discouraged or alarmed if, after the first year or so, youfeel that your college years have been wasted. These years are NOTwasted. The NEXT year or so will prove this to you![Page Four]WHERE ARE WE GOING?Not That It MattersBy FRED HANDSCHYCyF COURSE the normal aim is to go to bed. All day, from] the moment of awakening one works toward that end. He* sighs with heavy relief when he gets in; and objects to gettingHowever the College PersonCollege people go to bed, eventually. But other things are morenopular generally. Finding sufficient relaxation, not to say actualsleep, in class the undergraduate is ever on the tear, after placesto go, people to see, etc.When I Was a FreshmanThen I thought that fraternity parties, house dances, were big,very big affairs, affairs of great importance (have you ever triedto collect the assessments?)—I thoughtpeople came early and left late and had justone big good time, all being brothers, andthe girls club-sisters, wearing the same tento twenty dollar insignia in the name of dearold so-and-so their common bond and letter¬head.But Now I KnowHE THING TO DO is to arrive as lateas possible, making an impressive en¬trance with a Southern drawl in sable,or ritzing the brothers with the Northsiderwho was requested to leave Smith because she played hectic bridgepublicly for a tenth of a cent a point. Patronizingly you exchange adance with somebody who has entered into the fun in exactly thesame good-sportsmanship as yourself, furnishing an equally inter¬esting specimen from Bryn Mawr (he thinks she has an aristocraticprofile; you know that her nose and mouth just don’t get along to¬gether). When, with full measure of aplomb, you have ignored theice-cream suggested as a treat by the brother who sings in the choir,vou commence to leave, bidding no one good-night except him witha Chrysler and a nice quiet sort of girl; it’s always a coincidencethat the Chrysler happens to be going your way.They Don't Ask“Where are we going?”—they demand it. Maybe it’s the Drake.Assuming that it’s the Drake and the docile Chrysler, whom youhave condescended to admit to the bigger part of the evening sinceit is manned by one in a coonskin coat with not too empty pockets,you go there and have a more or less quiet evening, while you’rethere. You see people from “school,” speak to them with more orless cordiality than you would on the quadrangles, and dance as ifyou thought the hostess (a lady well known) was Marie of RoumaniaBRIGHTER DAYS FOR HOMER,THE MAILMANBy DONALD PLANTWISH mightily that, with the beginning of the New Year, thefollowing concerns would kindly remove my name from theirmailing lists:A Fifth Avenue clothing company whose representative when visit¬ing Chicago always holds his display in Evanston while I live on theSouth Side.A tobacco company that thinks I haven’t yet found a mixturewhich suits my taste.A monthly magazine that is sure I’m deeply interested in Koreaor some such place.An insurance company that doesn’t know I haven’t a wife andchildren.Two parishes that are not aware of the fact that I am a baptisedPresbyterian or something like that.(Editor’s Note: There is not king like that!)(Author’s Note: Oh, yes there is!)(Editor’s Note: What?)(Author’s Note: What about trained seals?)(Editor’s Note: That’s right.)A mechanical milking concern that has the idea that I have a lotof cows when I haven’t at all.A moving picture theatre that thinks I like Jack Hoxie and HootGibson.A publishing company that is sure I don’t know the finer pointsof etiquette.A man’s shop that thinks I’ll not see the covers of Vanity Fairunless they send them to me. —perhaps. The Drake is a nice place, and popular. But perhaps youstop downtown.And Go to the BlackhawkHERE ARE a lot of people who are still trying to find out whySo-and-So’s music is so much better than So-and-So’s. Last yearthey went to the Balloon Room at the Congress, but now they goto the Blackhawk, a restaurant which has replaced cuisine with orches¬tra because it is more profitable. There you comment on the music,and on the way a fraternity sophomore is attending to a club sopho¬more, or vice-versa, depending. You eat, or you do not eat, dependingon the price of the ginger ale.But at the FrolicsThat’s a place where you have waited inline to hear the same music and see the same“show” you saw a week ago. Frolics, for¬merly known as “Ike Bloom’s” when it wasless elegant and more interesting is a placewhere you are not permitted to play bridgeat your table because it doesn’t look “nice,”but have you ever sat in the balcony andwatched the people (not, of course, collegepeople) ? Have you ever watched an elderlyRotarian purchase a big baby doll (verysimilar to his daughter’s baby doll, in SiouxCity) with the air of a grand monarch, fora baby doll, blonde since last December? Frolics is a place wherecollege people are welcomed, if they know Jake Adler.But Those \\ ho Are Studying SociologyND OTHERS who are not, visit Plantation with an air ofgrave abandon. There the college man may feel as cosmopoli¬tan as he wishes; they are used to him. He is expected to beeccentric. And perhaps he is; especially if he dances. Self- con¬scious, serious, knowing that he is hearing something hot in musicand having read “Nigger Heaven” he is bound to make the mostof his evening. But does he? Not long after he has arrived, hebecomes a bit bored with mere observation (enervating to the aver¬age) and begins looking for fellow-collegians. He even converseswith people who are in his eleven o’clock. As at the Drake, at theBlackhawk, at the Frolics, at Plantation, he is looking for the aca¬demic bluebird which he has left behind when he went in search ofadventure.For the College ManWhether he transports himself in some one else’s Chrysler or inthe more expensive Yellow, whoever he is escorting, wherever he isgoing, is looking for just that which he complains of at a ReynoldsClub mixer: more college people.“PARIS IS DIVINE?”By WILLIAM NELSON FUQUACENE: Paris. TIME: Any summer afternoon.An army of weary ladies—all, of course, past sixty—equippedwith guide books and notebooks stumble out of the forty-eight seaterinto the court yard by the Sainte Chapelle. Though weary, terriblyweary, from weeks of Churches, Galleries, Views and The CulturalDelights of Travel, they muster a resigned smile as they think of theUplift such a famous place will bring into their lives and of theirjoy when, back safely in Oskaloosa, they can say for the rest of theirdays, “Why, my dear, you should see that Sainte Chapelle.7 Theguide, though (he’s a fly-bitten looking idiot), has no such consola¬tion as he starts in. (And I’ll say, for your relief, that we guidesdidn’t consider this chapel especially hard to do professionally.)GUIDE: This is the Sainte Chapelle where—AN OLD LADY: Oh, Mr. Guide, how do you sped it?GUIDE: S-a-i-n-t-e C-h-a-p-e-l-l-e, built by King Louis XI, SaintLouis—AN OLDER LADY: Which mistress’ Louis was he?A STILL OLDER ONE: Sh!GUIDE: He built this place to hold one of the few completecrowns of thorns in existence. Some king over in Constantinople,dear old heathen, owed Louis a pile of money which he didn’t wantto pay back so he popped the idea of making a crown of thorns andoffering it to Louis in place of the money. He knew the king was apious old bird and kind of simple but he hadn’t really thought he’dfall for a gag like that.AN AWFULLY OLD LADY (whispering) : Don’t you think he’sa little sacrilegious?ANOTHER CENTURY PLANT: Sh, I can’t hear.GUIDE: And so when Louis got the thing he built this place tohold it.

In addition tofour years’ work on The Phoenix, ofwhich publication he was editor in hissenior year, he was a frequent contribu¬tor to College Humor.[Page Five]The Daily Mar4sA STORY THE EDITOR DIDN’T WANT 4*.SAT with the editor’s letter in my hand.“We had hoped,” said the letter, “that this was going to be oneof your stories of young love. Can’t you hurry one to us tomake up for the disappointment over this?”I dropped the note to my desk, where it lay in the soft glow of thereading-lamp between the returned manuscript and a stack of un¬corrected themes. I glanced at that reminder of my night’s work,looked at the editor’s brief typewritten lines musingly, switched offthe light.The mellow evening drifted in through the open window to meetme. ... I wanted to write a young-love story.But the trouble with those fleeting first-kiss moments is that noth¬ing really happens. Not even the kiss, sometimes. They are as elu¬sive as the vision of an organdie frock down a lane at twilight. Andthe trouble with stories is that something has to happen. Any editorwill tell you so. “Put in .some punch,” he’lladmonish. “Give it a wallop.”It would have been pleasant to write sucha story; but there wasn’t any to write. Be¬sides, there was that stack of papers to cor¬rect. I knew that I ought to set five bluepencils in a row and begin on them. So Itook out my pipe, filled it, lighted it, in thebrief flare of the match saw the editor’s la¬conic note.I turned from the desk and went to thewfindow. Dormitory lights studded the quad¬rangles; the purr of automobiles came fromthe Midway; in a room somewhere above, astudent was whistling. Down on the cam¬pus an occasional cigarette pricked the dark¬ness. The scent of young grass was in theair. A block away, in the gymnasium, anorchestra crashed into the first preliminaryfor the Spring Hop.In such a night,Did young Lorenzo sivear he lovedher well.On such a night, thought I, a fellow ought to get the voung-loveangle. And yet—“Hello there, F. H.!”I looked down. A taxi had slipped to the curb. Young ArthurCrew’s was waving his hat in playful salute. The light from thewindows fell on his slick, brushed-back reddish hair; his blue eyesw’ere bright, I could almost catch the bouquet of recent barberingfrom his not-too-pink young face. A lithe, happy-go-lucky figure inw’hite flannels. I returned the salute with uplifted pipe.“Not going to the Hop?” he simulated surprise.“Not,” said I.I marked the sparkle of his eyes, the involuntary flick of his ox¬fords as the orchestra veered to syncopation. I leaned forward. Ihad an idea.“Ever been in love, Art?” I whispered down to him.His eyes snapped. “Never out!” he laughed; and jumped to therunning board. There he paused, gave me a look over his shoulder.“But say, F. H.—don't read that theme of mine in class, will you?”The car spurted, w’as merely a tail light rounding a corner.I considered the diminishing red dot thoughtfully. They go intaxis now-a-nights, at nine o’clock, or ten. Strolling is a lost art. likewaltzes and strawberry socials. Whereas, when I was a boy—But ifArthur Crews knew the manner of our parties, the songs we sang,the games we played, the hours we kept, I would be “dated:” a thingno college faculty man likes to be. For, say what you may aboutthe “prof,” we do come a little nearer to what all the world lovesthan most of you.Youth! It comes to us vicariously, year after year, wave uponw'ave; and one of the easiest things we do is to flatter ourselves thatware’s as young as our freshmen. . . . Oh. I ought to be ableto write that story! Youth, and spring, hemmed me in.The night held out its fragrant bowl, filled with half-rememberedyearnings. But its essence was as vague, as tenuous, as the per¬fume of a girl’s hair. No punch, no wallop.So I turned my back on the night and the editor’s request and, withthe desk lamp on, found myself where I belonged, four blue pencilsin a row, one in my hand, and the inevitable themes before me. “MyNeighborhood.” The same old subject—ask any English teacher.My eyes went furtively to the window; I could hear the slip-slip ofpumps on the gymnasium floor, a patter of hand-claps, in a brief lullsome undergraduate sending his fraternity whistle across campus.There was a temptation to send the themes in the same general di¬rection. And then suddenly I swung round to the desk, busily fer¬reted through the papers, extracted one. If that debonair youngCrews didn’t wish his paper read to the class, it might be a good oneto start on. There must be something in it. For, oddly enough,young fellows like Arthur Crews, who in their subsequent careerswill never write much more than checks, have a queer way now andthen of writing frankly to you rather than for you. I looked twice to make sure I wasn’t translating my thoughts t0his none-too-legible script. “June.”I encouraged my pipe, and began.This is Arthur’s theme:NOTHING ever happens in Jason City, Illinois. I was bornthere, I grew up there, and I know. But one who has Spenthis summer vacation there will never forget the wonderfulnights, especially the nights in June.Across from our house is a small park with shade trees, fl0\Verbeds, and a monument to our Civil War heroes. Close by the monument is an old fountain, which trickles slowly in the sunlight but atnight seems to flow with a sort of murmuring bubble.It is just beginning to get dark when the moon appears to rise outof the trees. In the park everything is quiet except for the cricketsand the little fountain. Stretched out on thegrass and gazing through the trees at thestars, you forget yourself and your troublesPeople pass near you on their way homebut you don’t hear them. Maybe from theother side of town you’ll hear a dog howlingor an owl hooting, or near by the cornerdrug store shutting up for the night.All at once the height of the moon remindsyou of the late hour—it must be almosteleven—and you are aroused only to findyourself in the little park in Jason CitvNothing has happened.For a while, last summer, I thought thatmaybe something could happen in Jason Citveven to the girls who have to stay on there,all the year; and then I woke up from mydream, as I had from all my home-towndreams, in the same park, with the moonhigh and the fountain bubbling, and the drugstore already shut up for the night.I was in the park when the thing thatdidn’t happen started. You see, I had comehome fresh from my freshman year. I hadmet all the flappers of Foster Hall, I knew their “line,” and I wassure a summer at home was going to Ik? pretty dull. And thatfirst evening I went out into the park to listen to the fountain, lookat the stars, and pity myself. I was succeeding well enough, too. Afellow can be awfully sorry for himself, just staring at a star.Then, suddenly, I heard steps coming along the path, not unpleas¬antly familiar, and 1 took my eyes from the star and looked up thepath, and saw coming along it in the moonlight the figure of .JuneAddis. As soon as I saw her I wondered that I had ever forgottenher.I suppose I’ve known June about as long as I’ve known any girl,though the first time I seem to remember her was one day in gram¬mar school. I was giving a big party, and had invited everyone inmy room except June. Why? I don’t know. No one did invite Juneto parties. 1 never thought of it. Now, we do a lot of talking inJason City about everyone’s being as good as everyone else. Actu¬ally, the most thriving thing in town is our class distinction.We have a new chamber of commerce with the written motto,“Get Together:” and a new country club with the unwritten slogan,“Stay Apart.” The club and the chamber of commerce weren’t therewhen I gave my party; but the distinctions were.I REM EMBER how June held her head the day the invitationscame out, and how her curls tossed as she walked out to recess.But a little later, by accident, I caught sight of her sitting aloneunder a tree—I was chasing a ball—and she was huddled with herhead in her arms.“What’s the matter?” I demanded.She looked up, startled. “Nothing,” she said. “Sun in my eyes.”But I knew, all at once, and I laughed: “Why, you can come tomy party!”“I don’t care to.” she retorted with a flip of her curls.I recollect digging my toes into the grass and awkwardly tossingthe baseball back and forth from one hand to the other. “Aw, c’mon,”I muttered.Then she looked up at me with a sort of crooked smile, the kindthat makes a kid feel shy and helpless, coming that way from a girl.“Of course I’d love to be at your party,” she admitted, “But I’mnot going to be!”And of course she wasn’t.I don’t remember anything more about that party. Right here,in my mind, June Addis disappears, like a movie fade-out, until high-school days. Then she reappears in a series of close-ups.She’s hard to describe, as you’d understand if you ever saw her.She wore her hair down her back when other girls were trying thelatest done-up styles. She wore a plaid dress and a cape and a tarn.And she wore low-heeled shoes of smart English cut when theother girls were teetering around on the uncertain support that highheels and pointed toes gave to their unaccustomed feet. Lookingback now, I know that she was quite unconscious of herself or herThis is the story of the O. Henryaward committee of the American Acad¬emy listed as one of the hest shortstories of the year. It was not. ofcourse, Mr. O’Hara’s first story, llisfirst published fiction, we’ve heard, ap¬peared when lie was about sixteen. Or.as Who’s Who says. In* “began writingin boyhood, and has served as reporter,dramatic editor and special writer formetropolitan newspapers and maga¬zines, and is a contributor of shortstories to magazines.” Mr. O'Hara ap¬parently manages to keep up some ofthese activities as well as directing un¬dergraduate activities at the University,and offering courses in drama and pub¬lication writing.[Page Six]\fgqasine_ Section^ BY FRANK HURBURT O’HARAlothes, which is certainly more than one could say for the others.Those other girls, naturally, didn’t know quite how to take her;there’s no time when it’s such a crime to be “different” as duringthe high school age. Sometimes the other girls made remarks, and,e feUows would smile, diplomatically, at their jests. But secretlyl-e liked June’s style.She was a good sport, understood our jargon, was the life of abotany excursion; and she had wonderful golden hair, and gray eyes,and pink cheeks; and when she laughed it wasn’t a giggle.ON OUR Saturday hikes, we’d usually drop by the house whereshe lived with her mother on the outskirts of the town; and ifshe wasn’t too busy house-cleaning (she had a mania for that)<he’d j°in us> and we’d &° tramping across the fields, a bunchof fellows and one girl! And her dog. That lanky old fellow fath¬ered her, and she mothered him.Since then I’ve figured that the dog took the place of dolls and—0h other things she didn’t have. At the time, we took everythingfor granted, including the theory that June was to be treatedcourteously, as all young gentlemen should treat all women; but that,also, she was Mrs. Addis’ daughter, and so not “our kind.”Mrs. Addis talked a good deal, and was a little radical before thatsort of thing was popular with women; but I never quite understoodthe why of our exclusiveness.There was, so far as I could ever gather, no scandal about her.One doesn’t need to create scandal to be “out of it” in the JasonCities; one needs only to be a non-conformist. And I suppose Mrs.Addis was just that and nothing more. Anyway, although as wejrrew up June was accepted a trifle more freely and invited to the bigparties, she never got into the intimate affairs; and she never sawthe inside of the clubhouse until last summer.IT WAS June Addis that I saw coming up the path in the parkthat first night at home. Her hair, was done up (not bobbed),and she was dressed differently; but the same June, otherwise.“Hello, Art,” she said, shaking hands with a grip. “Do we allseem pretty stupid after your year of college?” I thought there wasa little note of longing in her voice as she spoke the word. June al¬ways used to dream of getting off to college, herself.“This is my first evening at home,” I came back, “and the folksI'm meeting to-night—”“Come on, Art!” she cut in. “That isn’t the way you talk to oldfriends. Just leave out the compliments and say you’re glad to seeme!”I said it. Also, “You’re looking fine,” 1 said.“Am I?” she said, just as eagerly as when she was a child.“I’ll say you are. I’m going to walk home with you—if you don’tmind!”She looked at me quickly, as if surprised, and then glanced up thestreet. There were headlights coming, and it was Dan Shorely’sroadster. (Dan’s father is president of the other bank, and Danhad recently got back from his freshman year East.) The roadsterglided up to the curb and stopped. Dan leaned out, waved a hand,and then opened the door. And June Addis got in beside him, andwaved her hand at me, and they drove away.1 stood there feeling sort of dumb. Of course June hadn’t reallybeen rude, and Dan was always a devil-may-care fellow. I wasn’tpeeved. I was startled.Here were the old social distinctions all shot to pieces in JasonCity. While the son of one bank president is asking to see JuneAddis home, the other president’s son drives along and takes her!And she had been expecting him. I began to reflect what a greatthing a university training is. Of course it was the broader out¬look of our college year that had made Dan and me see thingsstraight.June was a peach of a girl, and one radical mother more or lessdidn’t make any difference.There may be a question about the relative merits of East andMiddle West in football, but when it comes to picking off the prettiestand most interesting girl in a town where nothing happens the Eastimparts a finesse. I didn’t see much of June Addis last summer.Not till the day of the Country Club ball. That comes late in theseason, and is the big annual event. Catering from Chicago, dittoflowers, ditto orchestra. A grand, a very grand occasion in fact.The whole town plans for it for weeks and months ahead; all thegirls and most of the older women have new gowns; dates are madelong before; and, of course, who takes whom is regarded as of thegreatest significance. The old ladies have a perfectly gorgeous timewatching new arrivals and deciding whether certain combinationsreally do mean engagements.I didn’t plan to go, myself, because (1) I hadn’t a girl, and (2)I wasn’t sure I’d be back from my canoe trip on the Stone River.However, I did get back the day of the ball, and I ran into June onthe library steps—she was working in the library—about five o’clock.“So this is the big day,” I said.“Yes,” said June.“Me, I’m not going,” I announced.“Neither am I,” said June.I stared at her, and before I got my balance blurted out, “Why,what’s become of Dan Shorely?” “Oh, Dan’s all right.”“You and Dan been scrapping?” I blurted again.“No.” She hesitated, then spoke frankly as she always had:“You’re surprised I’m not going to the club with Dan, aren’t you,Art? I’m a little surprised, myself. You see, I didn’t know Beatrixwas getting back from Europe. But of course—”She didn’t need to finish. The Colars are the real class of JasonCity, and Beatrix and Dan always had paired off. Dan had just beenplaying around with June till Beatrix got back. Of course!“The piker!” I exclaimed.“Not at all.”But I was pretty mad. “S-a-y,” I cried, “you know you were plan¬ning to go to this fool ball, and you know you’ve got your clothesall ready, and Dan Shorely’s several kinds of a snob—and you’regoing to that ball with me.”June stood back and looked at me, and I’d have sworn her eye¬lashes were wet, if the next minute she hadn’t given a little laugh.“I am, Art,” she said.And she did.I WAS pretty proud, marching June Addis into that country club,seeing that she had some good dances, and in general teachingJason City that social distinctions were silly, and that a univer¬sity man hasn’t any time for ’em.June seemed to enjoy herself a lot. I’d never seen her so gaybefore. She danced like a nymph, and held her head back andlaughed at the right places, and at our little supper table, on theveranda, with the candles wavering in the faint summer breeze, sheacted as if she’d been used to that sort of thing all her life. Only,we all knew that she’d probably never eaten by candle-light before.And she looked like—well, like a million dollars.Then the whole thing was all over. We were going down the stepsto our car. Somehow, Beatrix Colar and Dan Shorely fell in besideus.“Hasn’t it been lovely?” exclaimed Beatrix, who is a very nicegirl. “I don’t know when I’ve enjoyed a dance so much.”“Been as good as one of our interclass hops,” remarked Dan, whohasn’t his father’s banker’s tact.“I hope,” I said all at once, “that June likes our hops as well.She’s going up to the University with me for one, sometime, andI’m just afraid the men will cut in so much I won’t even know she’sthere.”“You’ll love that,” said Beatrix sweetly to June.“Oh, if I’m able to go. I’m not sure yet,” said June, who washearing about it (as indeed I was myself!) for the first time rightthere.I thought both girls wrere pretty clever about it.It’s a short spin out to the Addis cottage, in a car. We were therealmost at once, it seemed, standing at the gate, and June saying whata lovely time she’d had.Then, impulsively, she put a hand on my arm, lightly—not in apetting way at all—and said:"I can’t ever thank you, Art.”And she was gone, running up the walk.I drove back along the town streets, slowly. It didn’t seem such abad town, nor such a bad world, just then. I drew up beside thepark. I could hear the fountain bubbling. I lighted a cigarette, andinhaled thoughtfully. I felt satisfied. I think that’s the word. Iwas glad June had had her ball, after all, and her good time.Then, suddenly, I sat up straight in my seat. I seemed to knowsomething abruptly that I hadn’t guessed before. June hadn’t hada good time. The distinctions were there just the same. All thetime she was dancing with me she’d been thinking how she hadplanned to be dancing there with Dan. At least, that’s what Ithought as I sat up in the car, there beside the park, with the funnyold fountain bubbling away in the dark.After all, nothing happens in Jason City, Illinois. Not even whenyou think something’s happening. It’s my home town, and I know. . . .THAT was Arthur Crew’s theme. I put it down on the table,with the other themes, the blue pencils, and the editor’s letter.I got up and went to the window. I looked out at the dim cam¬pus, at forms drifting across it here and there, light blurs and darkblurs in the indistinctness . °. . wandering couples from theSpring Hop. Two of the wanderers came to the bench beneath mywindow. I looked more closely. Then I hurried out of the room,smiling, and down the stairs, and up to the bench. Smiling. Afterall, perhaps I could give that editor—“Oh, hello, F. IT.!” Arthur Crews called out, standing up.I advanced, smiling.“I want you to meet one of our Jason City girls,” said young Ar¬thur Crews. “Beatrix, you’ve heard me speak of. . . .”I went back to my room, to the blue pencils and the themes. Butfirst I tucked the editor’s letter into a drawer. His young-love storywould have to wait. For these fleeting first-kiss affairs are like JasonCity, Illinois. Nothing really happens. Not even the kiss, some¬times. And the trouble with stories is that something has to hap¬pen in them. . . . Copyright: The Crowell Publishing Company: 1925[Page Seven]A THOUGHT OR TWO FOR THE FRATERNITIESBy JEROME G. KERWINTHE COLLEGE FRATERNITY has grown to be a great forcefor good or ill on the modern college campus. This fact isattested by the virulence of the attack upon the fraternitysystem from some quarters and the ardor of the defense of thesystem from other quarters. The truth of the matter is that mostfraternity groups are neither so evil as painted by their foes norquite as beneficial as painted by their friends. They are humaninstitutions subject to all human frailties, fluctuating in qualityfrom year to year, and differing in degree and kind in value fromplace to place. It is not that I would charge the fraternities withbeing without the power to do much good for their members. Mostfraternity groups might at least be conceded a passable moral stand¬ard. That is not the main difficulty.The difficulty, it seems to me, here andelsewhere, is that fraternities are too oftenthe conservators of worn-out traditions,promoters of the rah-rah spirit, and checksupon independent thought and action. Be¬lieving it to be their mission to encouragerespect and reverence for the customs ofthe college, the fraternities become forcesfor reaction regarding the new idea with asmuch suspicion as the post-war super¬patriots. It is, indeed, among the unfortu¬nate tendencies of the day that fraternitiesare so seldom found in the forefront of thosemovements which promote a greater in¬tellectual and cultural life among students, which advance interestin public affairs, which curb the undue influence of commercializedathletics, or which look towards the extinction of that most noise-some practice of introducing fraternity politics into every field ofcampus competition. The failure of fraternities to enforce suchcauses leaves them nothing more than cavalier, class-conscious socialclubs in the estimation of forward-looking students and college folkthroughout the land.This brings me to a consideration of two causes on our owncampus which fraternities might well promote; first, the abolitionof slap-stick initiations, secondly, the adoption of the sophomorepledging system. In the dark ages of college life we used to practiceall kinds of inhumanities upon the freshmen. Breaking raw eggsin the freshman’s hair, tying him to the railroad tracks, nailinghim in a barrel, making him do a hundred absurd tricks for thedelectation of upper-classmen—these things and other forms ofhazing have now been relegated to the movies, to the high school“frats,” and, alas, to the college fraternities.THE COLLEGE WORLD in general has matured. The frater¬nity world remains the harbinger of many of the puerile notionsand practices of other days. Is it not time for mature collegeJerome G. Kerwin of the PoliticalScience department eats in many fra¬ternity houses often enough to hecalled “Jerry.” He is himself a fra¬ternity man from Dartmouth, and pro¬poses their system of second yearpledging to correct many of the de¬fects of Greek letter societies here.men, for their own self-respect and that of their neophytes, to askthemselves what measure of brotherly love they are gaining u.nightly paddling, by sending men out to gather in stationery andsilverware from the hotels, by compelling men to walk from Garyto Chicago, by denying men the use of water for cleansing purposes’Your typical good brother will cite a hundred archaic reasons forthe above practices which deep in his heart he knows constitutepretty poor argument. I know of no better method of underminingall that the term fraternity implies than the rough-house induction.There will be joy in heaven and on earth when some day a spiritedfreshman delegation rebels. Is there no group courageous enoughare there no men big enough on campus to start an honest inquiryof our annual orgy, otherwise properly called “Hell Week,” lookingtowards its abandonment?Despite all disadvantages urged againstsophomore pledging, there are certaindefinite advantages which seem to me un¬deniable. First of all, the freshman willhave time and opportunity to view the wholefraternity situation calmly and judiciously.He will have time to determine a preferenceif he has any. Secondly, the fraternity willhave a better chance of judging the fresh¬man. Thirdly, the freshman will have anopportunity to form natural friendshipsamong his classmates, friendships whichmay grow for a whole year without the dis¬turbing influence of fraternity allegiance. Fourthly, the freshmanmay apply himself to the important work of laying a firm scholasticfoundation without the interference of extraneous interests. To thelast point the fraternities may answer that they assist the newstudent in his work, show him how to apply himself, and in the longrun give him a fair start in his college courses. I only speak fromexperience when I say that 1 have not as yet found this contentionto be true.THERE MAY be a long, lean year while a sophomore pledgingsystem is being put into effect; the results in the long run wouldjustify the sacrifice. Some modus invnidi could be arrived atto provide for such a period; elsewhere it has been done.The fraternities contain most of the leaders of campus life. Theyhave potential resources for leading worthwhile movements. Thysupporters of fraternities claim great things for them; there arereasons for believing that such claims may be carried out. there areequally as many and good reasons for believing that they are notbeing carried out. In this age when all existing institutions mustjustify before a critical public their right to be, the fraternitieshere and everywhere must demonstrate their usefulness in a rapidlychanging and progressive student world.MOVIE STARS FROM U. OF C.By GENEVIEVE HARRIS(Motion Picture Critic, The Chicago Evening Post)JUST WHAT connection there is betweena course in philosophy and a career inthe films has never been investigated.But undoubtedly there is one. At least twoformer students of the University of Chi¬cago may be cited as examples. Two of thebrightest of the screen’s stars were shininglights in philosophy out at the U. of C.They are Milton Sills, who liked the subjectso well that he became an instructor for awhile, and Sessue Hayakawa, the Japanesestar, who has written a book of compara¬tive philosophies, on days when he wasn’tin demand at the studios.That scholarly attainments and the dra¬matic urge may exist side by side is shownby the careers of these two men. It is espe¬cially notable in the case of the Japanesestar, who has won a place not only in thefilm world but also in the spoken drama and in vaudeville. Hayak¬awa walked out of the set on the Palace Theater stage, where hehad “died” dramatically in a playlet based on a story he had writ¬ten, and sat down to chat about his literary ambitions and his studies[PageAltho Miss Genevieve Harris, motionpicture critic for The Chicago EveningPost, modestly avers she prefers golf tobaseball, she is known as the champion“pinch hitter” of the staff.

MEIGSIN ASKING me to write an article for The Daily Maroon, yourmanaging editor indicated that he had been instructed in thevalue of a publisher’s time, for which I am glad. I hope, too,that all his readers have been similarlyimpresseed so that a golden glamour willaccompany my words and make them seemmore than they really are.As a matter of fact, a publisher is busy—busier than a three-headed cat in a cream¬ery. His frightful preoccupation with athousand things makes him peculiarly sus¬ceptible to suggestions for saving time. Afriend of mine dropped in the other dayand said he had an original idea for savingvast quantities of time every day, and anyperson could use it. Naturally I was eagerfor details.It seems that everything the average per¬son says during his life-time has been saidso many millions of times before that there’sabsolutely no use in finishing sentences atall. Subject, predicate, modifiers and all therhetoric we learned in school are so muchsoapsuds on the French pastry. If youstart a sentence, or hit the high spot, andthen say, “and so forth,” any normalperson will understand. FOR INSTANCE, why waste valuable minutes in pointless talkabout the weather when suddenly exposed to strangers? Whynot just say: “Underfoot etc. hard winter etc. California etc.golf alas etc.”? (Two seconds by theclock.)Or if it is summer time, “Humidity etc.”will do nicely, and take only seven-sixteenthsof a second.By the same token, when required to carrycoals of wisdom to the Newcastle of theUniversity of Chicago, why shouldn’t Iaddress you as follows:“Bright young faces etc. university train¬ing etc. great questions before the Americanpeople etc. age in which we live etc. com¬plexity of modern life etc. view with alarmetc. mental, moral, spiritual etc. youngergeneration etc. reminds me of a story etc.twenty years etc. marvels of science etc.lower classes etc. before the war etc. mil¬lennium etc.” (eight and one-half seconds bythe clock.)And I won’t have to utter a single, “Ifyou know what I mean,” because I am mor¬tally certain you do.“Babe” Meigs, whose signature isMerrill C.

I had not mentioned this to any of my friends,because few of them take an interest in a plan of this kind (“specu¬lation.” they call it) ; some, in fact, laugh at it. But clearly thisyoung woman had ideas on the same subject. She would lend anunderstanding ear.* * *Most people (I began, when we had found a quiet corner) arenamed without even the shadow of logic. A child is born; hisparents name him Edgar. Is there any clear-cut reason why heshould go through life as Edgar, and not Hungerford? True, Edgarmay have been his uncle’s name; but because the name fit his uncle,can we say that it will fit him? And what logic lay behind his uncle’sbeing named Edgar, in the first place? Thousands of children,doubtless, are named Edgar every year, for no other reason than thatsome uncle (or perhaps some grandfather) was himself named Edgar.We, with our rich harvest of modern science, with our heritage of acentury of discovery, must call upon our uncles and grandfathersfor so simple a thing as a name.What does this name Edgar mean, anyhow? The dictionary, ofcourse, will say in its appendix on Christian Names and Their Mean¬ings, “EDGAR (Anglo-Sax.), heart of steel,” or perhaps “EDGAR(Austral.), the shining one.” But how many of the parents whobestow the name so freely, know’ this? And what would be one’schances of guessing it, from a glance at those of one’s friends whoare named Edgar?Miss McFoo interrupted here, to say that she thought Edgar agood, conservative name, and knew' several creditable young menwho bore it. I hastened to agree. I had no idea, I explained, ofcasting reflection upon the name Edgar, any more than Philbert orBowlby. My point was only this: that names, as now' used, fail tojustify themselves logically, and confuse us who must remember them.We must look around us for a way out of the dilemma.* * *CONSIDER (I said) the way in which scientists name thedifferent species of animals, or the stars in the heavens. Or,consider the plan upon which books are catalogued in libraries.Each star, or animal, or book, has two names: one indicating alarge group to which it belongs; and one its own individual name,distinguishing it from the other members of the same group. Theadvantage of such a plan is this: One glance at the star or bookor animal (if you know anything about the subject) will tell you itsname. The scientist, digging away in some fossil-bearing soil, comesupon a skeleton. “Ah, Pithicanthropus,” he remarks.Would it not be a great boon to us, if after one glance at astranger, we could name him so readily?That, I told my new acquaintance, is just what I propose. Let the[Page HEALI), ’26human race be divided into a dozen or so of groups, according toseveral simple, obvious features—things that we can note at a glance—and designate each group by a letter. Thus:Persons parting their hair in the middle, M.Pigeon-toed persons, P.Men wearing double-breasted suits, W.Men of athletic build, C.The man on the street has taken several steps in this directionalready. What redhead has not been called “Red” by strangers whowill never learn his real (or I should say his “conventional”) name?Many a teamster, trying to attract the attention of a pedestrianstanding in his way, has shouted, “Hey, you with the funny face.”Now the difficulty is, that the man so addressed too often pays noattention. He does not know that he is the man so addressed. Yetthe teamster’s improvised name is much more logical than, say,Oosterbaan; and it has this great advantage, that the teamster takesone look at the man, and knows the name. “You-with-the-funny-face” has only one fault; it is too long. Then let us shorten it.“Four-hundred-pound man about to sit on mound upon which bee isalready sitting” (the name of a celebrated Indian chief) is translatedinto the Cherokee language by a word of one syllable. We can gothe Cherokees one better. We can translate the teamster’s epithetby a single letter.Miss McFoo asked what letter I had in mind. I replied thatalmost any would serve.Each of us, then, ought to have as part of his name a letter, whichany stranger could learn at a glance.* * *MY FRIENDS, who need something more than a group-letterto designate me, could call me familiarly by a number, whichwould distinguish me from all the others of my group. Thescientist uses this idea, too. When his shovel first hits the buriedskeleton he cries, “Pithicanthropus.” That is the name of the group,the general family; certain very plain characteristics tell the scientistsat once that the skdeton belongs to that group. Later, he growsmore intimate with the skeleton. He wires it together, hangs it inhis library, and contemplates it. Presently, he knows it by a morefamiliar name. “Erectus,” he whispers. That is the skeleton’s ownindividual name, by which it is distinguished from slightly differentskeletons of the pithicanthropus group. So a man may be knownto strangers as F, that is, a fellow with gray flannels; his friends,however, will know him as 226—a number that distinguishes himfrom all other wearers of gray flannels. In formal records—legalpapers, telephone books, etc.—the letter and the number would bothbe recorded: F-226. Another man would be named W-31; a third,E-ll. My name, instead of Joe Hogaboom (a particularly absurdname, I have always thought) might be U-53.* * *MISS McFOO expressed considerable interest as she bade megoodbye.“Thank you so much for explaining your plan, Mr. Higgin-bottom,” she said.I smiled indulgently. “You would not have made that mistake,”I said, “if my plan wrere in effect.”Nine]The Daily Mar^LWAY BACK WHEN—AND WHY NOT ? <tBy HARRY R. SWANSONWHEN the present editor of The Daily Maroon called upon thispredecessor to contribute an article for the special holiday edi¬tion, and the predecessor, lured by the winning manner ofMr. Walter G. Williamson, consented, the predecessor did not realizewhat he was promising. For it has been almost ten years since hewrote his swan song, introduced his successor and pushed aside thebattered old typewriter in Ellis Hall to go forth into the world andjoin his comrades in the call of war. What can he say that wouldinterest the current subscribers of The World’s Greatest CollegeNewspaper? “Ten years.” That answers his problem—for it givesone the privilege to reminisce—to tell the campus of today some ofthe things that happened in years gone by.In 1913, The Daily Maroon was printed in a little “one-horse”shop at Fifty-Fifth Street and Cottage Grove Avenue by an amateurprinter who was at one time the manager,the linotype man, the compositor and thepressman, and whose frequent errors gavefertile fields for the immortal Bert LestonTaylor who ran the column in The ChicagoTribune over the initials B. L. T. Hardly aweek passed by but what The Line reprintedsome humorous mistake, and on two occa¬sions I remember when we were forced tothrow an entire edition into the waste¬basket because of errors that were far tooserious to circulate among the unsophisti¬cated students of those days.At that time the staff of The Daily Maroonnumbered less than ten, and when one dis¬counted the feeble efforts of the freshmen,the staff really totalled about three, meaningthat the news editor, who was the “goat” of the board, had to be onthe job every night until midnight and frequently until three in themorning. One of his duties was to carry a sufficient quantity ofsafety pins and chewing gum for repairing the linotype machine,which broke down at least once every night.IN 1914 the business management proved more profitable, and ourantique print shop was closed by the sheriff, so we transferredour activities to Sixty-second Street and Cottage Grove Avenue,where the contract remained for many years. As a result of keencompetition for the position of business manager in 1915. so manyadvertisements were booked by the competing solicitors that we wereforced during the Spring Quarter to publish eight-page papers twicea week, most of the matter being commercial. This caused a greatwave of excitement among the purists on the campus, who whisperedhere and there that The Daily Maroon management had succumbedto the mercenary interests of life, and that the editors and business managers were spending all of their time interviewing bond salmen for the purpose of laying aside their surplus funds. Which y*'may believe, if you wish. v uIn 1916 the writer of this article originated The Campus Whistlwhich still persists. The original Whistle was written over th’initials of T. E. H., the meaning of which was never explained unnthe end of the academic year, when it was revealed that these letterstood for The Editor Himself. On several occasions during that yea*the column was turned over to Richard Atwater, who wrote overthtitle of Richard XII, and who now conducts the column in The CCcago Evening Post known as From Pillar to Post, signing himselfas Riq. The Daily Maroon can, therefore, claim one of the leadincolumn conductors of America as its own.THE WOMAN’S EDITOR in 1916 wasRosalind Keating, who now writes theweekly article on Hollywood in The Chi.cago Sunday Tribune under the name 0fRosalind Shaffer. She married George Shaf¬fer, a news editor of The Daily Maroon, whois the Tribune correspondent in Californiaand whose name appears almost daily overnews articles from the coast. Martin Steverswho was a managing editor in 1914, has beenidentified prominently with newspapers inChicago for many years, and his successorGeorge Cottingham. is an editor of a news¬paper in Houston, Texas.The scandals of those days are the com¬monplace of today. Female knees were dis¬cussed privately by a small group of sophis¬ticated seniors who had ventured into the Englewood, a leadingburlesque house of the south side. Billiard chalk reposed in pocketsnow devoted, so I am told, to flasks. Liquor was not known as aninternational collegiate problem. At one time it did become a localproblem, when the enterprising business management of The DailyMaroon broke out one morning with an advertisement of mellowlager beer, but this matter was quickly disposed of by the faculty,who were particularly incensed when they learned that the editorswore taking out the cost of the advertising in trade.Much happened at the recess period from ten-fifteen until ten-forty-five. “Fussing” bv the romantic element was carried on duringthat half-hour in front of Cobb, and then Man’s Man (Hub met in thebasement to discuss new political units and cover up double-crossingcrusades. Chapel seats were not assigned, so attendance was regularin couples. Yellow Calxs were considered very plebeian, and fresh¬men bringing women to fraternity parties in these shiny yellowcars were tubbed immediately.We don't know whether Harry wassarcastic or not when he said that hewas “lured by the winning manner ofthe managing editor," but we do knowthat he was editor of The Daily Ma¬roon during 1916-1917 and also presi¬dent of The Daily Maroon Company.Although, because of his activities assecretary of the Chicago Alumni Club,his name has often appeared in thisdaily, this is his first signed article since1917.WILD STUDENTS I HAVE KNOWNBy ELLSWORTH FARISTO THE VISITOR coming in they may all look alike, just asWesterners are said to be unable to distinguish at first differ¬ences between Chinese faces. But to the veteran adventurerin academic wilderness the ability is acquired in time to see the treesin the woods. And “trees” is good, at least some trees are good.Some of the students are not unlike somekinds of trees.One type reminds me always of my oldcamping days; we may call him a damp logof rotten wood. The camper who has triedto make a fire from such material can sym¬pathize with the teacher whose most heroicefforts are frustrated in the face of the im¬movable passivity of this not infrequenttype.There is another far more active; his pro¬totype comes from the barnyard, or at leastthe barn. I mean that humble animal with¬out pride of ancestry or hope of posterity,who is distinguished by long ears and highlymobile heels. He kicks at everything; heraises his hand and voice to object to thestatement of the lecturer, and he economizes time by voicing hisobjection before the statement is completed. It does no good tobeat him, but he has his uses just as truly as the fleas on a dog.The third type depends for his analogue upon modern commerciallife. Quantity production has made possible the sixty-five cent alarmclock, cheap but noisy. Every teacher knows him, for there is onein every class. Usually the mechanism is in need of adjustment sothat he goes off at the wrong time. Perhaps a benevolent Providencecreated him so that the lecturer should not put everybody to sleep.Nevertheless there is the sleeping beauty. Of course he was out late last night. He fills you with confidence because he shows thathe trusts you to say nothing dangerous. He is in the nature of thecase not an upstanding fellow. The Buildings and Grounds shouldin justice furnish pillows. Probably his mother loved him. but ifshe is no longer living, he must be very lonesome.ND THEN in the marts of trade an¬other student type is provided withits analogue. It was invented in Day-ton. From the cash register one gets justthe coins that have been previously droppedin. From the cash register student the exactphrase reappears. He is usually thoroughlysatisfied with his work, but physiologists donot regard as normal that reversal of ourdeglutition which brings up the food in ex¬actly the condition it was in when swal¬lowed.Of course there are others, but let mehasten to mention the shining metal whichis the reward for working with the moun¬tain of dross, for it is the instructor’s de¬light. He is a living soul; he is interested when he comes and isalert and curious in the face of novelty. He reads an opportunityand actually thinks. Two new thoughts a quarter are worth theprice of admission. He is not a grind but he has an intellect anduses it. He regards the teacher as a coach drilling him for thegame of life to follow. If there are ten of these in a class of onehundred, and there are sometimes more, the instructor can satisfyhis soul, and in the strength of this meat he can go many daysuntil at last he comes to the end of the road.Professor Faris. professor of sociologyat the l niversity since 1919, has had a\aried career. His adventures began in1897. when lie went as a missionary tothe Congo. He remained there for sevenyears. After his return to the l nitedStates in 1901, he became associate edi¬tor of the Christian Courier, and alsoheld a teaching position, lie left bothof these offices to study at the l niversityof Chicago in 1912. A[Page Ten]^Magazine Sectionlecture delivered to tourists who gathered on a fineSUMMER MORNING AT TIMES SQUARE, NEW YORK CITYBy LESLIE RIVERLeslie River, ’25, one time editor of The Daily Maroon, is now anadvertising man residing in New York. He is the author of a novelnow in the hands of Boni and Liveright, publishers, entitled “TheJournal of David Block ” River ivas co-author with Russell Pierceand Jack Oppenheim of “Kaiti from Haiti,” the Blackfriars show ofthat season.THE citizens of this city never visit their aquarium, their zoo¬logical gardens, their spots of historic interest, as the young¬est among you know. But once in a while, of a Sunday morn¬ing. small groups of them sneak away from their homes while thehour is still early, and with little paper flowers on their hats. Alto¬gether they make a rather gigantic group. And they ride for hoursin a dark tunnel until at last they come to the ferryboat, at thesouth end of Manhattan. Very happily belched up into sunlightthey clamber aboard the S. S. Mayor Hylan. They are ingeniouslyprotected from crowding overboard by the foresight of someone,perhaps Mayor Hylan, who has had spiked bars placed all about theouter edges of deck.It is true that some, always, are impaled on these; but to the NewYorker this is a holiday sight indeed. Poor victims of a frustratedsadistic temperament that they are! in a subway that can only breaka person’s foot or at best, trample gleefully on some unlucky brotherwho has fallen. But alas! they can never see his grimace of pain,there; while on the ferryboat, with the accordion band making merryand a festive spirit gleaming in every honest face, they can watchthe last exquisite agony of those impaled ones.So, after a long pleasant journey they arrive at Staten Islandand they troop like a jubilant crowd of children down to Midland andSouth Beaches. There the babies cry more loudly, the waves aresaltier, and the happy throng sits more thickly than at Coney Island.(Madam, he’s pulling the feather off your hat.)To the Island natives all this is of no consequence.

The story of whichthe above woodcut is an illustration tells of the early daysin Chicago’s Greenwich \illage, of debauches, ami artist orgies.It strikes the same mood that Mr. Millar's woodcut does.

The great forestthat runs through the center of the Island from end to end, is thehaunt of a small herd of homo sapiens, once human as you and I,who once dressed, ate, shaved, lived and loved as we do.What is more, they once wrote. Perhaps that was the trouble.Anyway, on a Sunday morning, he who is lucky and has sharp eyes(like little Johnny down there) can see them peering faunlikethrough the trees. Then their small feet go galloping away in frightover the rocks, and from far off you can hear them laughing andsporting in the sun.One day I caught one of them, a bright fellow no bigger than awater spout. I offered to buy him a coffee. He laughed scorn¬fully:(AN UNHAPPY STORY)NCE I would have pawned my soul for a cup. That, in fact, isthe unhappy story of my life. I settled down in GreenwichVillage when I came to the city but soon discovered that endswere not meeting. So I moved to this Island, where I lived reasonablyenough for a while on bread stolen from the grover’s porch and milkfrom the people’s door steps. This went on for a time, but at last thegrocer had his bread delivered in great steel caskets and the milkcompany fitted each bottle with one of those death dealing knivesyou read of in stories of old treasure chests. Soon I had not eventhe fare to Manhattan. I pawned my typewriter and could no longerwrite. I pawned my overcoat, my shirts, my suit, everything untilat last I was forced to flee into the forest where I met others whoseplight was the same, and whose stories are the same, as mine.”Unfortunately I was thrown into an introspective depression byhis words and let him slip from my fingers. He scampered throughthe grass and was off to frisk with his companions, happily underthe trees.But I have digressed terribly, pardon me, and what I started totell you is that Staten Island, as it is commonly called, really is theBorough of Richmond, population 127,000 and 74 miles square, andsurrounded on all sides by water. As we approach it on the ferry¬boat you will see Governors Island, the Statute of Liberty, and lowerLong Island. Later, when we reach our destination and ride alongRichmond Turnpike, you will see the Ocean on the left and the Don-gan Hills on your right.(There he is, madam, the little devil is over yonder watching aman under the car wheels.)* * *“A Man Dies, All the World Dies Within Him”A Prose PoemBy LESLIE RIVERHERE is a bouquet of crepe beside the door, the very austereviolet that is used for old people. This means the man withinthe house is dead. He died of a stopping heart at four in themorning.Now it is late in the afternoon. The sun is coming from a verygreat distance, now, through the trees and as it falls softly acrossthe grass and touches the stairs and the boards of the porch, atwhim, it is a gray and gold substance, and pleasant. It is late in theafternoon and the dead, by this time, is entirely dead.First his heart stopped, but curiously, it was his mind that diedfirst. It was a mind through which the whole world had blown likea long drifting of white blossoms and dead leaves. And yes,strangely, it was of blossoms that his memory was made, the softclinging things, the pleasant things that his mind had caught as theydrifted by. These are the things he thought of, sitting at his win¬dow, when he was old. In his mind were moonlight fallen on quietwater and in some far off garden a sky etched black with boughsand a single star, on a sea the quick drip of sun and ”.ght splashingup again in air. These were the things in his mind and they died,when his mind died.Then his heart died, a dark place, like a hidden gutter clogged withdead leaves. In his heart were long hatreds, spears that reachedfar out to inevitable deaths which hung bathed with blood, curiouslyin the figure of humans, the white breasts of women bared, andtaken by force, their heads fallen back blue lipped and shadowed withtorture.He is dead, now, and these things have all died within him, in hismind and his heart.But there is a very blue sky above the early air of evening, anda taut muscled cat beside the briar hedge is stalking a bird, or an¬other cat.[Page Eleven]THE UNIVERSITY IN POLITICS lBy ARTHUR R. ROBINSON, T3POLITICS is the science of government, and there can be nonational success without good government. Ours is a gov¬ernment “of, for and by the people,” and every man, womanand child in the Republic should be vitally interested in the govern¬ment of the country in which we live.It is surprising therefore, and just a little depressing, that sofew men and women attending our universities should take an activeinterest in politics.While this writer attended the University of Chicago, studentson all sides were devoting their time and energies toward fittingthemselves for life’s work. Some expected to be teachers; otherswent in for medicine and law, and there were those also who expectedto become members of the clergy; still othersdesired to follow in the paths of physicalscience. Many were seeking to fit themselvesfor business and commercial life.Few indeed seemed to care anything aboutpolitics, or had any desire to follow publiccareers. The trend continues in this direct¬ion, with business and industrial life seem¬ing to have the greatest attraction for thegreatest number.This is unquestionably a commercial age,and business offers great inducements to col¬lege men, but unless the government is on ahigh plane and conducted by able and honor¬able public servants, business cannot prosper. tional problems of the gravest character; with legal matters rJnning through its entire structure. Politics in the larger sense entersthe homes of the land, makes and enforces the laws by which wPmust abide, establishes our taxing systems, provides for sanitationand hygiene, administers the police power and ultimately regulatesour National life.Surely, here are varied and important fields for genuine serviceto mankind, and who is better equipped for these great lines of en.deavor than the man or woman who has had the benefit of trainingin our colleges and universities?True, other work may be more remunerative, but after all, thereis something worth while in the world besides money, and no lifecan be dedicated to any nobler end than thePublic Service.Arthur R. Robinson of the class ofJune, 1913, is now United States senatorfrom Indiana. He has practiced law,sat on the bench, and served in theA. E. F. and the Indiana legislature.He was appointed United States Sena¬tor hv Governor Jackson of Indiana tooccupy the seat left vacant by the deathof Hon. Samuel M. Ralston. TFor after all, we must have a stable government.PUBLIC LIFE is undoubtedly onerous and on entering it, onemust be reconciled to considerable sacrifice. Motives will bemisunderstood—deliberately by some and mistakenly by oth¬ers. Insinuations will be made, conscientious convictions sneeredat, and situations arise that try men’s souls, but finally the truthwill prevail. The people can not long be misled, and in the end,false prophets and demagogues are without influence.College men and women are admirably equipped to serve the pub¬lic. In the first place, they have educational advantages and aregenerally well prepared to lead in political thought.Government deals with great economic questions; with interna¬ HE MASTER OF THE CROSS i8 ex.alted authority on this subject: ‘‘in.asmuch as ye have done it unto oneof the least of these, my brethren, ye havedone it unto me.” He serves God who seneshis fellow men, and in no line of human en¬deavor can any man or woman with highideals, better serve mankind than in the fieldof politics.Many well meaning people indignantly de¬clare that they will not become “contami¬nated” with politics, and even go as far asto refuse to exercise the citizen’s right of franchise. This is, ofcourse, a narrow and short-sighted view. Politics is governmentand the government is just what the people make it. In this countryeach citizen has one vote, the high, the low, the rich, the poor, andthat vote rules the Republic. Every citizen is born a sovereign, andnever subject to any crown or to any monarch. Let him then atleast exercise his birthright and vote when his counsel is sought byhis country.Politics and public life offer a wide and interesting field for theman and woman who has had the great advantages of college train¬ing, and it is the hope of this writer that more and more, thestudents of our higher institutions of learning may seek careers inthis direction.QUESTIONNAIREBy EDDIE CANTORPREPARED by the nunlcrn collegefor the modern collide aspirant.These questions must be ansivered tothe satisfaction of the Entrance Com¬mittee.* * *(1) Have you a raccoon coat?(2) Do you Charleston?(3) How many girls in the Ziegfeld“Follies'” do you know?<4) How many ways can you use theexpression “So's Your Old Man”?(3) Have you a roadster?

MOTTTHE BESETTING sill of American universities is propaganda.Their tradition of freedom demands an open door to all creedsand philosophies. A well-balanced faculty requires men of allopinions and viewpoints. The pioneer character of our institutionsand the insistent American urge for “progress” make the institutionfor higher learning a particularly fertile soil for doctrinaire or thephilistine. Economic and moral interests well know that the futureleaders of the community are trained in its colleges. Political andsocial groups fully realize that a prejudice instilled by the professoris more likely to be permanent than one casually gleaned from thedaily press. The strategic place of the university in the intellectualand educational life of the country make it agolden apple for the propagandist.No one has counted the number of reformorganizations which have prepared andpushed courses of study on our universities.Certainly their number is legion. Every yearthere is donated to the library hundreds ofbooks and thousands of pamphlets frompropaganda agencies. The legislatures oftwenty-eight states have required all stu¬dents in public schools, from the elementaryto the university, to pass examinations onmaterial which is largely designed to instillin them a set of prejudices. The courseswhich began as War Issues have frequentlybeen turned into courses in Citizenship,Americanism, The ('(institution, etc. In the majority of cases thedepartments of Political Science have been called upon to bear thebrunt of these hundred per cent prejudices.It would seem obvious that a university must guard itself frombecoming the dispenser of pet notions, its primary purpose is tofoster the arts and sciences, not to further any particular economicor religious creed. The moment it departs from its scientific workand uses its class rooms to spread hobbies and ill-digested ideas, dis¬credit is thrown on its truly scientific work. This does not meanthat we must keep silent regarding startling truths we may dis¬ cover. The object of college instruction is to give the next generationa glimpse of our increasing knowledge of the world. But there is agreat difference between a scientific truth and a tentative hypothesis;between skill in a practical art and prejudices about our social order.EVEN THE MOST controversial problems may be studied scien¬tifically. Physics was once little more than a series of pre¬judices. May we not hope that even our complex social life maysome day yield itself to the investigations of the scientist? ThePolitical Science Department, for example, has even gone so far as toattempt a scientific study of Citizenship and the Constitution, thevery subjects which constitute the stormcenter of propaganda.Neither can a university afford to neglectthe arts merely because they rest on disputedtheories. We teach sculpture and surgeryregardless of our ideas of aesthetics or evo¬lution. There is a world of differencebetween building up a conservative complexand giving instruction in public speaking orparliamentary law. We can tell students howto avoid spoiling their ballots, but we neednot urge them to vote the Republican ticketstraight.Students at the University of Chicago maytake pride in the efforts which have beenmade here to pry into the obscure corners ofour complex world. They may well boast of the great contributionswhich the University has made to the arts. In no small degree theseare due to the student body itself. Propaganda we will have with usalways, but the careful scrutiny of an intelligent student body will domuch to render it innocuous. In the last analysis it is the studentwho makes a university. If they are gullible, undiscriminating,and inert, there is little hope for scientific advance. But if theyinsist on a fearless presentation of the truth and demand that itbe proved before they accept, the future of the University is as¬sured.Coming to the University in 1923from Minnesota, where he was an in¬structor in political science, Rodney L.Mott has in the short time that he hasbeen here earned his assistant profes¬sorship. He received his A.B. degreeat Lcland Stanford university in 1917,going to Wisconsin from there in 1918to become an assistant in politicalscience.[Page Thirteen]Make This aChristmasYou will find all Books mentioned in thisissue on our shelves VMake the Children Happy with a BookOurChildren’s Book Sectionis always open for your inspectionOur Service includes a U.

It is then that yourVh around for conversation hoping against hope that you willTri something of common interest that will see you through the• ning. Consequently there seemed nothing to do but ask the old,old question “Are you going to school by any chance or are you—Tonight by some queer favor of the gods the question worked. A. eXcited look, almost fanatical, came into the girl’s eyes. “WhyT co to the Kindergarten College. Don’t you love kindergarten work?Why I just love children. I’m really crazy about the work. Why” And so it went. My poor innocent question had opened up a"usher. Enthusiasm and love for children poured out. “And youLow we are even opening up a school for children from one to threeyears old. Isn’t that marvelous. There is such a future in thework don’t you think!”Unfortunately I had picked the wrong question. Such enthusiasmon such a subject was something that I had hardly counted on. Beingsomewhat truthful and as it was the zero hour I cared very little forthe effect I might make. Consequently I was forced to admit thatthe future and the work of kindergarten colleges interested me notin the least. In fact I had a great antipathy for kindergartens andan even greater antipathy for this new development—a school forchildren of one to three years old. She was hurt somewhat and herenthusiasm dampened but being a good sort instead of changing thesubject, becoming indignant or asking to be taken home she asked,"Why?” Cornered I was forced to reply.* * * *Kindergartens are as I understand them devised to take the childaway from home one year before he or she customarily enters gram¬mar school.At kindergarten they teach the child to play games, draw picturesand to generally mix and get along with other children. Half a dayis spent doing this so that five days a w’eek the child has an oppor¬tunity to get away from his home environment, meet other children,have a good time and be taught good citizenship, as I believe theycall it. Certainly this is a very nice thing and undoubtedly beneficial to the child. The main trouble is this. The child is thrust out ofthe comparative luxury of the kindergarten after one year and thenenters the squalid poverty of the first grade of a city or countrygrammar school. At the kindergarten he has a young girl as ateacher who as a rule comes from a very good home and is, besidesbeing cultured and intelligent, passionately fond of children. Infirst grade the child is taking a chance. He may get the same typeof instructor as he had before but probability is mostly on the otherside.* * * *THE LAXITY of the requirements for a teacher’s certificate andthe poor pay both combine to get a type of instructor that isneither cultured, intelligent, of a good family nor has any of theother seemingly necessary requirements of a good teacher capableof putting the children on the right track of knowledge, which surelymust be the end in view of education.It seems to me that it is because of this poor beginning and thefact that it is carried through practically the entire grammar schoolcareer and even in the high schools the child as a rule is not turnedout the object that an education has in view. I do not blame thechild because he hates school, has no desire to learn, and drops outat the slightest opportunity. It seems to rest with the teachers.And it is not their fault. They too have received the same type ofeducation and the opportunities of a grammar school teacher aresuch that ambitious men and women will not join the ranks. Thisis not the school board’s fault. They have no money. And yet moneyis being spent lavishly on the development of kindergartens, merelyone year of the child’s life and with an object nothing more thanthe object of first grade should be, except it is started a year earlier.Does it not seem an absurd waste of money to be continually experi¬menting about, spending money here and there when the funda¬mental parts of education are poverty stricken.

He tells aho of his presentexperience as supervising editor of the Kent Press Service, where hehas charge of hiring reporters.OF THE CLASS which will get Ph. B.’s this coming June, abouttwo hundred have taken courses in the English departmentbeyond the required sophomore composition. And at leastone hundred and fifty of this group will be planning to enter jour¬nalism.It might not be unwise, therefore, to discuss the chances of land¬ing a newspaper job, and which fields, if any, will bear fruit.Before we start, we can eliminate about twenty-five of the am¬bitious, but embryo, journalists. They have the foreign service bug.They are planning to spend the coming autumn in a Paris sidewalkcafe discussing coups d'etat with moustached diplomats. When theyoung men discover that foreign correspondents are graduates ofsome ten years of service on this side, and that the posts are a hardgrind, they will forget journalism and be content to satisfy the liter¬ary urge by writing the occasional advertisement papa’s store prints.But the other hundred and twenty-five are serious minded youngpeople, all willing to do their stint at fifteen or twenty dollars aweek for the necessary eight months or year.All of them will look for jobs here. This June the big Chicagodailies—Tribune, Herald-Examiner, American, News, Journal andPost—altogether will hire two or, at most, three inexperienced menduring the month. One of these may be a Chicago graduate.Fifteen more will be hired, approximately, by the less importantpapers—Journal of Commerce, Daily Drovers’ Journal, Racing Form,Southtown Economist, Women’s Wear, the foreign language pressand the trade papers. These papers have not as many applicantsfor jobs, pay better, and are willing to train a man.The news services, the only other field left, hire nothing but experi¬enced help.More than a hundred are left from our original group, still seek¬ing a job. This group stands by far the best chance of gettinglucrative work, with a far better chance of learning the businessof news writing in all its complexities, on a small paper. nearby city, has just the paper on which to get a job. It is not diffi¬cult to find work on the smaller paper, as well-educated, willing ap¬plicants are not numerous.TO ILLUSTRATE let us examine the possibilities within com¬mutation district of Chicago. The Hammond Lake CountyTimes, Gary Post Tribune, Aurora Beacon News, Elgin CourierNews, Joliet Herald News, Waukegan Daily News, Waukegan Sun,and Evanston News Index are only a few7. They are excellent papers,extremely well edited and equal in every way to the Chicago papers,with which they are in direct competition.A little farther out the South Bend News Times, South BendTribune, Rockford Republic, Rockford Register-Gazette, RockfordMorning Star, Bloomington Pantagraph, Bloomington Bulletin,Peoria journal Transcript are all in the twenty thousand circulationclass, and are wealthy, intelligent sheets.In working for them the young man will find far more opportunitythan in the impersonal city room here. And he will learn to covera beat, chase down an assignment on the telephone, and rewrrite, aswell as the arts of makeup, headwriting and conciliating the busi¬ness office.As an experienced man, with contacts made through correspond¬ence (stories sent to the large papers from the smaller cities) andwith reputation known, he will find himself much in demand by themen who turn him down as a college senior.THIS BLACKFRIAR HOAXBy JOSEPH H. WHITETHAT AUTUMNAL orgy of intensive training and concentratedeffort, the football season, is over. The corresponding vernaloutburst, Blackfriars, is in the offing. And to one who hasseen a good many of these productions the prospect is “just anotherFriars’ show.” Blackfriars, next to football, gets more effort, energy,thought, money, and personal support than any other activity oncampus. But in spite of all this, it seems to become more lavish andless original each year. Friars’ shows have developed a type. Itseems to be the prevalent idea among the nimble-witted youths whoannually attempt to turn out the winning book that there is a setformula to be followed.And as ideas become scarcer, this formula degenerates into littleBy small paper I mean any daily with circulation larger thanthree thousand and under a hundred thousand. The home town, or[Page Fifteen]more than a revue, a loosely bound collection of individual acts,year’s show is a striking example of that.New departures, original approaches, are strongly discount]the weight of this tradition. The aspiring author who ma;some good and rare ideas for a different type of show eithergets them on paper or decides his only chance for success is |stereotyped path. Or should the script contain variations thalder too far from the usual and oft-repeated refrain they areout in rehearsal,Hamilton Coleman, in whose hands the fate of Friars’ prodyhas rested these many moons, develops a well trained, well c<cast from raw and inexperienced material. Mechanically theare good productions. The trouble may be that the clever faround campus aren’t clever enough; that Friars by its very tisn’t elastic enough to be the vehicle for more than one type ofthat Coleman has a definite idea as to what constitutes a good Fshow, that he feels he is approximating that ideal now amchange would only be for the worse; or finally, that everybodycerned has gotten into a deep rut and finds the well-worn roieasiest one to travel,WHATEVER may be the cause, the fact remains that 1friars have a golden opportunity each year to put overthing new and grand, and each year the result is onlything big. The men out for the show put in nearly all their tiithe work; the box-office receipts insure a large working eaFriars have everything, but—Why can’t a show be put on that is true to the real eollegaround us instead of to the sort of thing that “Joe College” tyjWhy can’t we get a production that gives us a real laugh atselves? The first act of last year’s show had possibilities iidirection; they soon went a-glimmering. Why can’t we havereal characters on the stage, college or otherwise, instead ofeeble conventional caricatures that wander up and down the faat Mandel? Why can’t we have an organized, definitely foimoving performance, a unity, instead of a collection of sped alt iThese are the questions that are asked contemplating theold Friars’ show that can’t be far behind when winter comes.The Home of theChristmas Savings ClubThis bank may well be called “TheHome of the Christmas SavingsClub,’’ for we pioneered the Christ¬mas Club idea in Chicago, and, overa period of fourteen years, more thanChristmas Club Accountshave been handled by this bank,bringing happiness to thousands atChristmas time.Join our 1927 Club today.

BALLOUBrUCE ROGERS, William Morris, Bodoni, Stanley Morison—These are names which are on the tongues of collectors of finebooks, spoken with a little awe as one speaks of a necromancer,f someone engaged in a mysterious process of magic. But the mystery°f their art, or more properly their craft, for it is scarcely an art, is°soap bubble mystery. Put your finger into it and it is broken.E Conceiving books, in the physical sense, designing books, makingw —these things are as unmysterious and practical as the processesConnected with making a house, or an automobile. All of this talkbout types, about spacing in composition, leading, margins, and• kS of design in binding, is meaningless unless it is directed towardaking an article of use in a way that will make it most useful.Types are designed to this end, rather than with an abstractlyesthetic ideal in mind.A page of type is well composed when the white space and theblack of the type are evenly distributed over the surface of thenrinted paper so that the eye (in this case a path for the thought ofthe author) will engage the whole pleasantly and with little effort,unconscious of any distracting element—often unconscious of read¬ing at all.ARGINS are well planned when they form an easy and pleasantframe for the page of type, and an actual “handle” for thebook—a place where the hand may rest in holding the volumewithout covering any of the print or distracting the eye.Binding is good binding when it holds the books together firmly,harmonizes with the spirit of the text so that it is not a distractingelement, and save the pages from wear.Here is the soul and substance of book design. For a book, likeanv other article of use, is best designed when it best fits its purposeof practical use.M Atwell Printing&.
