JANUARY 31, 1929 Price Five Cent*Editor’s Note: The writer of to¬day’s Athenaeum column suggeststhat in the main men and womencome to college too immature to re¬ceive the full values of the educa¬tion and training that a college sup¬plies. The theory is not new, but isnevertheless well worth considering.THE BEST PERIOD TO ATTENDCOLLEGEBy Trocaserus SlocamiCollege education conies too earlyin the life of the young student.

When a young studentgoes to college after graduation fromhigh school, he has no practical ex¬perience, no definite background ofknowledge, except in a theoreticalsense, upon which to base his newacquisition of intelligence. Were heto get first some practical knowledge Ithrough experience, were he first to jenter the business world and work atseveral lines of endeavor for a periodof say five years, he would then bein a much better (losition to acquirethe knowledge that college educationis .supposed to give him.The writer is acquainted with ayoung man who tried out this plan.After high-school graduation, heworked in a factory for four yearsand then returned to school with abroader view of the problems of lifeand with a more definite goal to ac¬complish during his college educa¬tion. Because of his few years ofpractical knowledge, because of hiskeener outlook on life, and becauseof his knowledge of Iife’< problems,he was able to ab.sorb more from hisstudies in one day than some of theother students who entered <lirectlyfrom high school were able to absorbin a week’s time. The reason is evi¬dent. It is definite.The teacher# in college can domuch toward pushing the functions ofcollege education forward. As Rap¬hael Demos, in his article in theYale Review, 1926, entitled, “Edu¬cation and Business,” says in part,“The bu8ine.ss of the teacher is notto do the work for the studeni butto give him suggestions on the basisof which he may work out the prob¬lem for himself; not to instruct the build a new palace the king places theartists’ commissions in the hands ofLuxores, an unscrupuolus noble inlove with the sculptor’s daughter.The complications which result fromthe situation, together with thedaughter’s love for an apprentice,form the skeleton work of the plot.Lead to Dorothy HartfordThe part of Dyomina is played byI Dorothy Hartford who this year hasappeared as Kitty Lake in “Aren’tWe All” and as Lady Jane in Bar¬rie’s “Shall We Join the I,,adies.”Pat Magee, a freshman on campus,plays the part of Sferozames.

MerriamMercury the pedagogue is always made to appear as a terribly dull, department,near-sighted, single-minded character who spends his time either | g .45in the laboratory or the library. Hardly ever is a romantic halo iplaced about his head in the field of literature—he is for the pur¬poses of romance regarded as a nil character.Perhaps this results from the natural revulsion associated withlearning. It is the popular reaction to feel pain when one is aboutto do serious studying; few go out of their way to acquire knowledgeafter they have left the recognized portals of learning. Too oftenthe graduated college man in business confines his reading to thedailj' newspapers and the Saturday Evening Post. Romance andlearning, and thence romance and the pedagogue, hold, in popularopinion, the same qualities to one another as do oil and water.Thus it is that in literature prepared for the common palate the ro¬mantic professor appears not.That romance does not enter into the confines of a pedagogue’slife is, of course, obviously an erroneous cnception. No more vividrebuttal could be given such a statement than to cite the expeditionon which Professor Alfred S. Romer, curator of Walker Museum,and Paul C. Miller, associate curator, are scheduled to embark April1. These men —pedagogues—and their expedition will, in the in¬terests of science and knowledge, penetrate South Africa to theKaroo desert braving all the environmntal hazards that such atrip implies.It is a story that has found its way even into the tabloid sheets.And that is well. More forcefully than a sermon does this expedi¬tion point out to the populace and youth that the pursuit of knowl¬edge has its game-eiement, its glamorous side; and more effectivelythan a philosopher’s logic does it enhance the attractiveness of theacquisition of knowledge. In the fields of learning at least, thesun has yet to set on the day o fthe pioneer.With such stories taking up space usually devoted to murder,and rape in the daily newspapers, we do not see why, in the nearfuture, some volume entitled “Th Private Life of Prof. X" will nottake a place among the best sellers.

Illinois trackmen have wonchampionships with a surprising de¬gree of regularity during past years.Iowa Threatens IlliniIllinois, h'owever, will find herselfpressed to a great degree by Iowa,coach by Coach Bresenham. Iowathreatened last year botl^ indoor andoutdoors, and appears even betterfortified in their attack upon theIllini. Other favorable looking teamsare Ohio and Chicago, which onpresent dope should contend forthird and fourth positions in the BigTen. Ohio should have a slight edgeoutdoors, while Chicago should holdthe edge indoors. It is even possiblethat either Chicago or Ohio mightpress hard on the heels of Iowa andIllinois.Much Good MaterialMichigan is even more of an un¬known factor than it was last yearbut those that know Steve Farrell,the coach, fear and respect him asa developer of teams from unheardof men. Wisconsn, Northwestern andIndiana appear as about even, altthree having a good number of com¬petent men—but none of them ap¬pearing to have that balance whichis so essential to a winning team.Purdue and Minnesota show no evi¬dence that the will climb out of therut they have been in the last fewyears. Minnesota should have an ex¬cellent dual meet team, but will lacka sufficient number of outstandingstars to place them well in a bigmeet.Iowa’s possibilities for a cham¬pionship will be helped a great dealby Chicago’s galaxy of middle-dis¬tance men. Led by Gist, the inter¬collegiate half-miler, Wexman, Letts,Teitelman, Brainard and Williams,Chicago should carve heavily intothe points given for the middle-dis¬tance events, the particular spotwhere Illinois is accustomed to gar¬ner the lion’s shareNo Post Olympic SlumpDespite the fact that Olympic yearhas come and gone, the expected lullshould not resu.tl While some bril¬liant runners are gone, far more re¬main than were lost There are many(Continued on page 4) » EXPECT MANY TOENTER BIG TANKINTERSCHOLASTICThis Yearns Tourney WillBe Largest InHistoryAnswers to the invitations thathave been sent out to quite a num¬ber of teams in Cook County and thesurrounding territory for the swim¬ming interscholastics that will beheld here on February 8th and 9thare coming in and more are expect¬ed by next week.Since the University of ChicagoSwimming Interscholastic was inau¬gurated in 1925 it has grown andchanged a great deal The first meetwas held on the 17th and 18th ofApril. It was found, however, thatmany complications arose from thefact that the meet was held so lateI in the season. Many of the coachesI had trouble in keeping their teams! together, for many of the swimmersj had already commenced practice forj spring sports.Accordingly the date of the tourn-1 ament was changed to the first week! in February. The alteration hasproved exceedingly successful.Coach McGillivray explains thatthe number of participants is muchgreater as a regional meet ratherthan a national clash. There are moreteams entered and more men partici¬pating than in any national swim, andthe times made in the events areequally as fast. Each man is limitedto only three events; the relay beingcounted as an event. Because of thisfact the meet will be more for ateam championship than for individ¬ual honors.The swimming and water poloteams, under Mr. McGillivray’s guid¬ance is preparing for the meet withWisconsin on the 16th. The Badgershave a strong bunch of tankmen#and a hard fighting water polo squad.

By Jerome B. StraussIn the annual freshman-varsitybasketball game held yesterday after¬noon at Bartlett the regulars handedthe yearlings a stiff 27-17 defeat.The score does not even indicate theseverity of the beating, however. Itwas not until late in the game thatthe first year men began to garne;;rany appreciable pointage.Nevertheless the scrimmage,which was all that the game reallycame to, was not all minus on theside of the freshmen. At times theywould show flashes of coherence andunder Asst. Coach Crisler’s able tu¬telage they should develop until atthe end of the season they will beable to present fairly stiff competi¬tion for the varsity. Some of thefreshmen showed talent, though onthe whole they suffer from the samefault as the Maroons, lack of weight.Frosh Have StarsWein, flashy player from AustinHigh, was the high point man for thefrosh, scoring three loops.
