No. 58.VfHAT Of IT?yjpftge HOSPiNSTlHHThere are those who contend thatthis column, while it may be a sourceof entertainment on occasion, is notat. instrument of reform. Nothingroll Id be fartherfrom the truth.You will recall thaton one of the darkfall days back awhile ago I pointedout to the authori¬ties that the lighting•situation in Harperwas in a bad way.The information ofthis appalling stateof affairs had notbeen gained at firsthand; it had beenrelayed to me, pass¬ing through many mouths in its pro¬gress to The Maroon and the light.Indeed, at the time. I frankly admit¬ted that I had not been near Harperin a year, and intimated that it mighthe another one before I did get overthat way. So far nothing has ocurredto disturb that prophesy. But againthings have come to me through slowprogress from mouth to mouth Thistime the good word Is that the light¬ing situation in the reading room hasbeen rectified, that it Is now possiblenot only to sit and be comfortablein the cool recesses of the place, buteven to sit and be able to see. Sothose who go about saying that thiscolumn has nothing whatever to dowith the upward progress of human¬ity are thus proved to be nothingmore than idle talkers.* * * *Kncouragemeut to the young is aglad thing. It comes, if at all. tomost of us in trickles that are verydesultory indeed. When, like the fullspray of a shower, it bathes us in itsmellow and invigorating moisture, weare consequently a bit surprised. Ithas been my lot in knocking off thiscolumn day in and day out to occa-sionaly step on random toes thatmay have happened to be underfootthrough no particular fault of theirown or mine. And when these toeshave been trod on, logically and hu¬manly enough their owners havescreached a little, some louder thanothers. Even others, situated some¬times safely out of range of treading,have now and then emitted outcry ofone sort or another about me and mymethods, somt of them more plain¬tively than others. Rarely has theother thing occurred, some-onecame up and said casually, ofcourse, just in passing, “It’s not sohad. Sometimes I rather like it.” Andnow, I hear, just this sort of thinghas happened.

Myres of Oxford Universitypointed out in his lecture, TheGreek People” in Classics 10 yester¬day afternoon.Professor Myres explained how theextending portion of Europe whichterminates in Greece, a drowned high¬land region, had been formed, offeringa natural protection with the moun¬tains to the north, along with a fav¬orable climate for the development ota civilization. The numerous islandsafforded additional safety, he claimed.The speaker deplored that the por¬tion of Europe with which he dealthad been called the Balkan penin¬ sula, contending that it was neitherBalkan, nor a peninsula, and shouldbe called Europe-minor, just as thesection of Asia with which it hasplayed so important a role in history,is called Asia Minor.The lecture was illustrated by slidessome of which were made by Mr My-rrs and his assistants. The variousracial types developed in Greece weremainly the Alpine, Nordic and Medi¬terranean.Mr. Myres stressed the fact thatdue to their extraordinary physicalsurroundings and the difficulty en¬countered in their economic life, onlythe strongest can survive.

FRANKENSTEIN“Symphony Composed in Memoryof a Great Man,” runs the title ofBeethoven’s third symphony, and soit was played yesterday at Mai delhall by the Chicago Symphony or¬chestra in memory of TheodoreThomas, the orchestra’s founder, whodied twenty-two years ago. It wasalso played in memory of anothergreat man, Ludwig van Beethovenhimself, who died a hundred yearsago, for which reason the orchestramade it an all Beethoven program.But do not think that yesterday’sobservances were of a dreary andfunereal nature. On the contrarythey were of sufficient vitality tohave warranted the attendance of more than the usual corporal’s guardof students. The program openedwith the first symphony, followed bya polonaise for strings alone, andconcluded with the aforementionedthird symphony.It thus illustrated the first andstcond of the much expounded threeperiods of Beethoven’s style, the firstcontented with the simple polishingof simple, unpretentious tunes, the sec¬ond the struggling, interlocked voic¬ing of melodies and sonorities whichconvey something, which, were it ex¬pressible in words, would never havebeen set down in tone. The programwas one of the rarest things in theworld—musical education for the la¬ity without snobbishness and upliftsticking out all over the educators.

It is merely ageometrical point in an infinity ofbushes dimbing over hills and sweep¬ing down deep valleys. “Vox Claman-tis In Desertf ” is the motto, and ap¬plicable it is, too, for, if any voice hadany more wilderness to cry out of, ithas never made itself heard. All themen are supposedly men at Hanover,for the fleshpots of the world are atleast a hundred and fifty miles andseven hours away, and only within thereach of those possessing filthy lucreand unlimited cuts. Predict Doom OfAmerican Tongue*Americans will wear out theirtongues eventually!Mr. J. L. Ballif, instructor inthe Romance department, madethis statement to the members ofhis 1:30 class in Wednesday inexplaining that Americans worktheir tongues harder than theFrench in pronouncing words. Incorrecting a student’s pronuncia¬tion of the French phrase, “C’estle monde,” Mr. Ballif brought outthe fact that the French maketheir tongue move in co-ordinationwith the jaw. Americans, on theother hand, work the tongue inde¬pendently of the jaw, more thanoften placing it against the roofof the mouth and producing, as aresult, a muffled sound. SWARTHMORE USESOXFORD SYSTEMFOR UNDERGRADS50 Students Take No ExamsFrom Sophomore toSenior YearsAnd so Dartmouth had developedan outdoor defensive cohplex, and be¬guiles the period while the great whitecold walks abroad, chasing over ra¬vines and falling into chasms on skiisand snowshoes. It canoes and swimsand plays football with itself duringthe rest of the year, and communeswith studies on the side, like someTlioreau grown infantile again.Sees Heathenism worthy results. Liberality is the key¬note—some of the closer harmonies,however, are not quite in tune.A College or a Religion?“Dartmouth is not a college—it is areligion.” Such a remark was madeby a non-Dartmouth Chicago man,and may or may not give us an in¬sight into the character of the WindyCity. But there is an clement of truthin the statement. Four years in such aspot as Hanover, shut away from life,with the opportunity to dream and tobuild ideals without interruption, tosift truth from falsehood without dis¬tortion of either by conventions,MR. HEALD AND THE ALUMNIIMR. ALLEN HEALD, one time laborer in the Daily Maroon officeand editor of this column, has been appointed Secretary-Treas¬urer of the Alumni Council. The choice was a fortunate one. AndHeald is to be congratulated.His new title, wHicb Has a formidable sound but a connotationof emptiness, is not the lazy man’s honor one might suspect. Itcarries with it a responsibility for the University’s relations with thealumni. The secretary maintains the contacts between the old andthe new. His office, and it is an office of five or six people, is aclearing house for information and news and service. The secre¬tary himself must be a man of ideas, a man of some organizationability and a man of tact.He must be versatile, too. He edits and publishes the Uni¬versity Alumni Magazine, a monthly of high merit in its field. TheUniversity has acknowledged the importance of keeping its alumniinterested in the living university and appreciated that the best wayto do this is to tell them what is going on.Heald is the key man in this situation. We wish him well.WE VIEW WITH ALARMTHE OTHER NIGHT we got hungry. Our room-mate had locked* his trunk, so we had to walk to the Fifty-fifth street restaurant.When we got there, we met a bunch of fellows from a neighboringfraternity house.“Hello,” they said.“Hello,’’ we said.“Where is the rest of your bunch?’’ asked one of them. N“Give up!’’ we said, cleverly.“Do you mean to say that you w&lked down University Avenueat night alone?” they asked, admiringly.“Yes,’’ we said.“Don’t you know that there have been four student robberiesin one month around here?” they asked.“Yes,” we said, “A friend of ours was hit on the head andde-furcoated three weeks ago.’’“Isn’t it shameful that a peaceful neighborhood like this shouldbecome so dangerous?” said one of them.“Yes,” we said.“Don’t you think that the police ought to get busy aroundhere?” . , *“We do,’ said we, as we walked over to phone a cab. Dartmouth, due to its distance from makes one love with almost a religiousthe main traffic-lanes of custom, hasdrifted somewhat toward heathenism,and iallen into pagan ways. Evolutionis taught up here, and even Socialismfinds its seeds turning to plants in thecrannies. Speech is ‘as free as air, andideas that have filled the souls of thegodly with horror are bandied to andfro without a thought as to their dan¬gerousness. Occasionally a missionarybraves the dangers of the crawlingtrains that seek out our almost im¬penetrable retreat, and preaches to usof the evil of our thoughts. But he ismore or less laughed at, and etven theconverts fall again into the stream ofiniquity, and accept all the ideas thatcome.VVe have attempted to set up a cultof brains in the woods, but the experi¬ment is too fresh to have had trust- love.

The “practice” teams succeededin garnering a total of 137 tallies,which does not look so well for theNorgrenite’s scoring power Thesefigures may not mean a thing, how¬ever when the conference race opensSaturday evening against Iowa. OLD TIMER IOWANSTELL OF ROUGH ANDREADY BALL GAMESAthletics in the old days were notso pleasant and easy as at the pres¬ent time. Some of the old boys from"Way back when” have attested tothe fact. The University of Iowa ishaving a reunion of all the old starson the athletic fields, and one man,Arthur Goshorn class of ’80, declaresthat after playing baseball over fiftyyears ago he still has three knarledfingers and a facial scar as relics ofthe days before the catcher's mitt andmask were invented. It would paysome of our present day athletes tolisten to the tales of grandpop andthen thank their lucky stars that thereare now rules governing the contests,and that they can go over to the girlfriend’s house after a strenuous gameof football with only a few bruisesinstead of having their whole bodybandaged up as in the old days.

Ithas always been a sacred campus tra¬dition that the little tin box outsideof the Maroon office should be regu¬larly favoured with chewing gumwrappers, cigarette butts, and old blot¬ters, but for the last few quarters itseems that an interesting change hastaken place in the variety of com¬munications and packages addressedto the Whistle. We hardly can un¬derstand the reason for these mani¬festations of public interest; we canonly hop^ that some of the unusualmessages and packages which findtheir way into the Whistle box willnot some day contain a time bomb,a photograph of the Northwesternco-eds, or something equally destruc¬tive to our general efficiency. THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1927Last quarter it so happened one daythat in addition to our usual state ofdishevelment while at work in theMaroon office, we made our publicappearance without a tie and withour shirt collar opened. In the nextmail we found a blank card to whichwas attached a needle and thread, twobuttons, and a jazz bow tie. On asomewhat similar occasion of sar¬torial neglect we were presented an¬onymously with a pair of those safe¬ty pin stocking supporters which us¬ually are reserved for actual infants.In addition, we recollect at differenttimes the receipt of a box of foot-ease powder, a copy of the Y. M. C.A. bulletin, and a steamship adver¬tisement for a trip to Turkey. for criticising campus institutions, orcomplimenting us for the same thing.We have received faculty letters re¬proaching us for the “low Whistle at¬mosphere,” and student letters de¬manding “more pep and less lovepoetry.” Once when we had lightlyremarked that giving the footballcaptain a black C was especially ap¬propriate in a year when we playedDartmouth and Illinois, we were mail¬ed a copy of the University footballschedule with an announcement ofthe date for Spring varsity practise.Again, after we had essayed a senti¬mental poem in which the w riteravowed his lonely, loveless life, themail brought a postal card bearingthe telephone number of the MichaelReese Nurse’s Home. (How do weknow? We called it.)Todays’ column of reminiscences)comes because of a particularly in¬teresting letter which we found inthe same mail yesterday that broughtus a million marks bill from a friendin Germany. This letter, postmarkedfrom Chicago, and written in whatis obviously a woman’s handwriting,contained two stories which were....well, simply vile. Attached to thisfilth was a pleasant little greetingfrom the lady: “These, to my way ofthinking, are just what you would like,and I’m sure that if they are publish¬ed they would very quickly destroythat awful example of campus wit—your column.... Here’s hoping you’llprint it and abolish yourself and col¬umn from our midst thereby.”We are always happy to hear frompeople. Even if the letters are apt tobe a bit bitter, the sealed envelopeson the Maroon bulletin board give animpression of popularity. We ask onlythat these anonymous sentiments bekept from our aging mother.—TERRIBLE TURK Faculty MembersShow IncreasingInterest In WorkDuring the past quarter the facultyhas shown unusual interest in thework of the Young Men’s ChristianAssociation.
