Van DerhoefAren’t we a happy bunch anyway?As I walked across the campus thismorning, I was struck with the sightof my fellow students’ faces. Theyreminded me so forcefully of aphrase I once saw on a street car,advertising a certain brand of cof¬fins. . .’’dignified grief.”The drawn mouths, droopingshoulders, blank faces, certainly didnot give evidence of happiness. Infact, if some great, national calam¬ity should suddenly occur, it is ex¬ceedingly doubtful if any visible evi¬dence would be there.’’But,” I questioned, ’’there mustbe some reason for this pall of sol¬emnity? What common sorrow af-nicta us all?”For certainly, it must be com¬mon to strike so broadly, fellingmen and women folks alike. And themore 1 thought, the more evidentit became that education was theonly element we were all fairly wellimbued with.And come to think of it, haveyou ever seen an educated personwho was happy? I think not. If yourecall the most joyful people youknow, they will invariably be theleast educated. Take young chil¬dren, for example, at the age of fivethey enjoy life wonderfully. Thenthey go to high school and their firsttroubles begin. It is there that thefirst seeds of cynicism blossom. Sav¬ages are almost always happy; theyknow no better. Anti-Vivisection Bill DenouncedANDERSON THIRDLINK IN FORGELECIURE SERIESUntermeyer Here Feb.12; Next Forge Outin JanuarySherwood Anderson, consideredI the ’’most human personality”among contemporary writers, willI form the third link in the series ofI lectures sponsored by The Forge,I when he discusses ’’Current Tend-I encies in American Literature” in anappearance in Mandel hall January8.Anderson is preceded by acclaimas the new literary prophet, a manwho talks the language of peopleamong whom he has lived. Hisworks, ’’Winesburg Ohio,” ’’MarchingMen,” ’’Windy MacPherson's Son”among others have placed him in aunique niche among American writ¬ers.But, we do not know better thanto be happy. No sooner do we set¬tle back and think how good we are,that life is rosy and but a song, whenalong comes someone to tell us thatwe are mostly space. What’s theuse anyway of storing up knowledge,which in itself may not even bespace?During the last week-end, I at¬tended that great moving picture’’W’ings.” For a long time I wasthrilled by the daring exploits of theaviators—their tragic deaths. Andthen, right in the middle of an ex¬citing battel, a little qualm of con¬science overcame me.’’Don’t be a fool—it’s only a pic¬ture.”My afternoon was ruined. How¬ever, the little seven years old whoaccompanied me had no vexing ques- Jtion of veracity to bother him andI dare say ‘that night he dreamedof soaring above the clouds in hisHandly Page, completely happy.A friend of mine has just men¬tioned the clever epigram that edu¬cation is misery. Perhaps he is right,for it may be necessary to be mis¬erable to acquire that proper de¬gree of humility which is education.Certainly if any of us really wishto ’’get down in the dumps,” all heneed do is to reflect that we allmusi die sometime Maybe that isjust what many of us do. But then,is it not possible in being so drearyand glum, in having to swallow thisbitter pill of education, that most ofus are really blissfully happy in be¬ing ’’just plain miserable?” Advance ApplicationsTickets will sell for one dollar anda half, one dollar, and seventy-fivecents.

Local Scientists Berate AttemptTo Prohibit Use of Animals inDisease Research and Prevention LAW AUTHORITYEXPIRES AFTERSHORT ILLNESSTwenty FreshmenMake High ScoreIn Psych. TestsResults of the Psychological Exami¬nation sent to the University of Chi¬cago by the American Council onEducation and given to approximately700 incoming freshmen at the begin¬ning of this quarter show that theUniversity of Chicago freshmen sur¬passed in test intelligence the fresn-men of other colleges submitting testrecords.Returns on the 1928 edition of the-American Council psychological ex¬aminations were sent in by 68 collegesand universities throughout the UnitedStates. These institutions includedlarge and small privately endow’ed col¬leges, state colleges, and a few normaland technical schools. The summaryof results indicate that only 25% otthe entering freshmen in the collegescontributing test records surpassed themedian or 50 percentile score of theUniversity freshmen.(Continued on page 2) By Edwin LevinWarning against the anti-vivhv >Lion bill which will appear beforethe next session of the Illinois Statelegislature as inimical to the bestinterests of society as well as toscience has been issued by eminentbiological scientists of the Univers¬ity. Fanatical sentimentality is at-attempting to deprive science of oneof its most valuable tools for se¬curing knowledge—experimentationwith animals.Judge On Relative ValueThe question should be decided onone basis only: the value of a fewanimal lives against the value ofnumerous human lives. Dr. I. S. Falkprofessor of Bacteriology, insiststhat the public be appraised of thedanger of such a measure. “Restric¬tions placed upon the use of animalsin essential experimentation wouldendanger the welfare of the individ¬ual and the community.” The threatof influenza is increasing. Thesearch for the serum or vaccine isdifficult enough without placing fur¬ther obstructions in the path of re¬search.Scientists N«>t Cruel“Today it is influenza,” continuedj Professor Falk. “Yesterday it wasj rabies, diphtheria, scarlet fever, ery-I sipelas, foot and mouth disease, con¬sumption, etc. Tomorrow it will beother diseases that have so far de¬ fied investigation. Legislative bodiesshould be plagued by lobbies de¬manding, not anti-vivisection laws,but facilities for the work and prog¬ress of humanitarian science.”Scientists are not cruel and in¬human to animals “We value animallife as dearly as do the publicity¬seeking antis,” insists Professor Falk.“But we place human life higher,and we count the relatively few ani¬mals that are used in? experimentalwork a small cost for the benefitsthat come to mankind. Nor must itbe forgotten that some of the great¬est benefits of animal experimenta¬tion have come to animals. The dogcan be made immune against hydro¬phobia, and the sheep against an¬thrax, and the horse against black¬leg, glanders and other diseases. It isno idle dictum that the scientist isthe friend, not only of man but ofthe lower animal.” Professor Falkrecently completed some researchwork which resulted in an electricmethod for determining the virul¬ence of diphtheria baccillus. This! physico-chemical method may bej carried to the treatment of otherI baccilae.

DICKERSON, MEMBEROF TRUSTEES BOARDILL WITH PNUEMONIAMr. J. Spencer Dickerson, corre¬sponding secretary of the Board ofTrustees of the University, is suf¬fering from an attack of pneumonia,at the Billings Hospital. Accordingto the bulletins given out yesterdayafternoon, his condition has slightlyimproved. Mr. Dickerson was takenill shortly after the Thanksgivingholidays.In 1909, Mr. Dickerson served asa trustee of the University. From1913 until 1926, he was on the Boardof Trustees at Rush Medical Collegeand from 1913 until 1920, secretaryof the board of Trustees. At presenthe is the corresponding secretary ofthe Board and has his headquartersin Harper M 10.Discover Use forUniversity CribbersColgate University has at lastfound a use for cribbers. Thirtysuccessful cribbers from that insti¬tution were recently studied, en¬tirely unaware, as laboratory speci-ptiens in order to determine the men¬tal and emotional traits of thosestudents who know how to cheat andget away with it. Editors of the Phoenix are stillundecided as to their attitude on thedecision of the Midwest CollegeComic association to sever connec¬tions with College Humor passed at 1the convention last week. Membersof the association asserted that Col¬lege Humor has damaged the adver¬tising field for college magazinesand misrepresented college life tothe outside world. As only six of thesixteen members of the associationwere present at the meeting, thePhoenix feels that the decision wasnot representative.Practically all the Western Con¬ference publications are included inthis movement to keep publicationsin the association from renewingcontracts with College Humor whenthe present ones expire.According to Carl U. Fauster,business manager of the Gargoyle,(Continued on page 2) Warning against the movement ofa group of uniformed and fanaticalwomen is likewise sent out by Pro¬fessor Anton J. Carlson, chairmanof the Physiology department, in arecent speech “I hate to fight wom¬en,” he said, “but I believe thatthe public should be informed. It isan everlasting pity that the univer¬sities must not only struggle to getmen and money for the task of aid¬ing humanity, but must also fightfor latitude in which to work.”Would Be FirstIrene Castle McLaughlin andother faddish anti-vivisectionists(Continued on page 2)‘ICELAND’ SUBJECTOF SCANDINAVIANSOCIETY LECTUREThree New CoursesOffered in GeologyAnd PaleontologyThree new courses are offered bythe departments of Geology and Pa¬leontology during the winter andspring quarters.

Da¬vid of the department of French lit¬erature lectured last night at theArt Institute on “Pierre Loti.” Pro¬fessor David discussed the authorfrom the basis of his power as aliterary artist and also C9mmentedon his life and works.Pierre Loti, whose name in priv¬ate life was Louis Marie Julien Vi-aiid, was a member of the Frenchnavy and wrote books describing hisadventures in orientaal countries. Floyd R. Mecheni, professor of lawat the University since 1903 and aninternational authority on the law ofagency, sales, and public officers, diedearly Tuesday morning following abrief illness. He had been confinedto his suite at the Del Prado forseveral days by a bronchial cold,which overtaxed his heart.Prof. Mechem came to the Univer¬sity Law School the year followingits organization, from the Universityof Michigan, where he had beenTappan professor of law for elevenyears. He was one of the most be¬loved members of the Chicago faculty,his kindly and gentle attitude and hisbrilliance as a teacher endearing himto his students, many of whom arenow among the leaders of the Chicagobar.Internationally RecognizedHe was born May 9, 1858, in Nunda,New York, and though his legal edu¬cation was largely by study in aBattle Creek law office, his scholar¬ship has been internationally recog-j nized. The University of Michigangranted him an honorary degree in1894. It is said that he was one oftwo American legal authorities everto be quoted in Parliament. Beforejoining the Michigan faculty, he hadpracticed law in Battle Creek and De¬troit. During the last five years hehad devoted himself largely to therestatement of the law of agency,part of the general restatement of thelaw undertaken by the American LawInstitute.Mr. Mechem was a member of theQuadrangle, University and LakeZurich Golf clubs. He was an honor¬ary member of the Illinois State BarAssociation, and during the war hadbeen a member of the District AppealBoard No. 1 of the Northern Districtof Illinois.Foremost Jurist“Mr. Mechem was an outstandingand distinguished figure in the Uni¬versity community and one of theforemost jurists in the Country”, saidProfessor Ernst Freund, a colleagueof Professor Mecheni since the in¬ception of the Law School. “A self-made man, he never lost the stronglyindividualistic outlook upon societywhich had been emphasized in him byhis early experiences. But those whodisagreed with him were disarmed bythe transparent honesty of his views.A person of sterling integrity, he hateffand opposed all sham and humbug.He was greatly drawn to the philo¬sophical side of the law, and wasexceptionally familiar with foreignlegal literature.“He possessed physical vigor andwas fond of outdoor sports, particu¬larly fishing and golf. No teacher wasever more beloved of the many hun¬dreds of students who sat at his feet.”Acting-President Frederic Wood¬ward said, “Professor Mechem’s deathis a teyrible loss.

Adoption of a deferred fraternity and club rushing plan.THE READING PERIODThe approaching period of examinations revives again of neces¬sity that bugaboo of education familiarly known as "cramming.”Hundreds of students will indulge in it the few lean nights beforeand during December 19, 20, 21. One wonders why, seeing thatcramming is universally regarded as one of the greatest if academicevils, there is so little direct effort expended in attempting to elim¬inate it from the educational process.About two years ago, Harvard, illustrating why it is alwaysconsidered among the leaders in education, adopted a plan whichaimed not only at doing away with over-night, wholesale absorptionof knowledge but at far more reaching results. The plan is knownas the Reading Period, It provides for the suspension of lecturesand formal class meetings during the several weeks immediatelypreceding the period of term examinations. Through assigned read¬ing and informal study the student is enabled, during this period,to recapitulate the knowledge delivered during the quarter moreleisurely, and hence, more soundly and thoroughly, and also to dosome self-education by following those lines of interest which thecourse had opened up for him but for which he heretofore did nothave the time.A committee appointed to determine whether the theory ofthe plan could be reconciled to its practice found, after a carefuland exhaustive analysis, that the results achieved last year at Har¬vard merited its continuance, and now the Reading Period is aregular part of the Harvard curriculum.Cornell followed in Harvard’s wake but adopted the mainfeatures of the plan on a somewhat more modified scale. There theas yet strange interlude occupies a period of only one week, andwhether it shall be observed or not is left solely to the judgment ofthe various instructors. The Cornell plan anticipated the one weak¬ness of the Harvard Reading Period in that “the members of thefaculty will be available for consultation at the regular hours desig¬nated for class instruction." At Harvard the regular instructors arenot so accessible during the period.In view of the fact that the Reading Period seems to be ahighly desirable and thoroughly sound plan and that it has succeededat two such well-recognized institutions as Harvard and Cornell,The Daily Maroon fails to see why it should not merit at least fairexperiment at this University which sets itself up among the fore¬most in the academic world. Like Cornell the University couldmodify the plan at first, and if it warranted continuance it could beexpanded and adapted to the special conditions which might ariseupon its adoption. At first it might be applied to only senior col¬lege classes.The Daily Maroon believes that the Reading Period is deserv¬ing of at least fair experiment from the hands of the administrationwhose slogan not so long ago was "Opportunity not Compulsion."

The Foresters tookthe lead early in the game and heldit throughout, ending the first periodwith a 23 to 10 advantage. Guard¬ing was very close and both teams |repeatedly shot from mid-floor. Inthe second half, play slowed downand there was little activity untilthe middle of the last quarter whenboth fives attempted to speed upagain.Substitutions were frequent as theteams attempted to roll up scores.Roskie, Lake Forest substitute forAshton at center, was the high scor¬er for the evening with a total oftwo field goals and seven throws.Pratt, North Shore forward, ran himclose competition with four fieldgoals. All of the Lake Forest regu¬lars scored at least one basket.For Chicago there was no out¬standing star. Abbot, garnering sixpoints, by one field goal and fourgratis baskets, was high pointman.All of the men in the starting lineup,except Chissom, forward, scored.Crawford, guard, and Cahill, center,were put out of the game on per¬sonals.The Chicago reserves will at¬tempt to make an attempt to comeback during the week-end when(Continued on page 4)College Graduatesneed aSpring Boardto theirFirst Positionour10 Weeks Intensive ShorthandCourse for college graduatesand undergraduates will“spring” you into the job youwant.New Classes formed January2nd for graduates of theautumn quarter.Get full information aboutthis special course in time toenroll for winter quarter.Phone Wentworth 0992Business AdministrationDepartmentENGLEWOOD BUSINESSCOLLEGE735 Englewood Avenuea conference and national title withsuch illustrious figures as Flexner, iLOOK OVER THIS LIST FOR XMASIndian RingaIndian BraceletsIndian NecklacesIndian Table ScarfsIndian Pillow TopsIndian DollsIndian MoccasinaNavajo Ruva Mexican IndianZara pea—bcautifniCouch and TableCoverinfiPendleton Blanketa,and Robes, all woolIndian PotteryGenuine Rock Crystal Chokera and NecklacesReal Pressed AmberNecklaces and otherbeads.

Introduce DanishGynmastics forWinter QuarterClasses in Danish gymnastics forwomen during winter quarter will bein charge of Miss Margaret Burns andMiss Elva Staud, instructors in theWomen’s Department of PhysicalEducation.According to Miss Elva Staud, in¬structor in Danish gymnastics, thistype of gymnasium work has onlyrecently supplanted the Swedish typein America. It aims for flexibility,strength and coordination w'hile theSwedish type aims mainly for strength,and the element of rhythm is muchmore predominant.Other sports which will be offeredto women in winter quarter are bas¬ket-ball, swimming, rhythms, folkdancing, deck-tennis, bowling, socialdancing and clogging. Women areespecially urged to register for theinter-class team sports, swimming andbasketball, according to Miss GertrudeDudley, head of the Women’s Depart¬ment of Physical Education. Teamswimming classes meet at 2:30 forfreshmen and juniors and at 3:30 forsophomores and seniors. Freshmenand juniors meet at 2:15 and sopho¬mores and seniors meet at 4:15 forinter-class basket-ball.Jack Sheer of the Macs was thedefensive star of his team. His play jwas fast and well-directed. When it jcame to catching passes he hungon to the ball as if he had glue |on his fingers. He fitted in nicely :with the short-pass game which theMacs used to such great advantagethis year.Puschel of Phi Pi Phi was per¬haps the best man in the leaguewhen it came to rushing passers. Hew’as rarely outsmarted and many 'times tagged his men before an iopening into which to pass the ballw'as found. He played against someof the best passers and ball-carriersof the year and very seldom wasunable to nab his man.Cody ShiftieitCody is the second member of theMacs to make the all-star team. Hewas the most shifty runner ^eenthis season. Although not quite asfast as Gist or Bud East, he manytimes outmanoeuve|red these men.He was exceptionally adept at hurl¬ing short passes.
