sweetnessand lightbygeorg mannWE’RE NOT ALLCHARLES TYROLERSIt is with unexpected pleasurethat I take my typewriter upon mylap and write this column. I havelonjr been an admirer of the graphicand intelligible sentences whichadorned the articles of those twomasters of English prose style,Messrs. Tyroler and Kalven. Nowthat they have been safely decoyedout of the Maroon office, I havethe supreme bliss of writing thiscolumn and furthermore, telling thepublic (all six of those who regular¬ly read Sweetness and Light) myopinions of the aforementionedgeniuses. The heading of this open¬ing paragraph refers a.s a precau¬tionary measure, to the value of thewriting that follows. After all, weare not all Charles Tyrolers, and Ihope that the reader or readers asthe case may be, will charitably for¬give all the unavoidable defectswhich my efforts will reveal whencompared with the customary fod¬der displayed in this column.ABOUT COMMENTThe extraordinary Charles’ latestproduct lies beside this batteredUnderwood. With his usual perfectsense of what will appeal to thepublic he has collected the most stu-liemlous array of intellectual exhib¬its, bound to please both eye, ear,and in some cases the sense of smellthat has ever been assembled in oneplace since Barnum’s original men¬ageries. It contains writings byoriginal geniuses of every sort fromHutch to .Mrs. Dilling and WilliamShakespeare and back again to thenine-year old future pride of theI.aw School. The back page is oec-orated by Tyroler’s attempt to keeppeace on campus. For some rea.sonor other Jimmy Touhig and TeddyLinn have been omitted from thelist of those to whom Charles re¬spectfully and expectantly pays trib¬ute. But even the Homer of theHeke house sometimes sleeps.MORE ABOUT COMMENTComment has also .swiped an ideafrom Vanity Fair in the compositepicture of the two most influentialmen in Dallj' Maroon politics oncampus. The drawing w'hich adornsthe front page combines the broadforehead and Oriental eyes of theIgnatius Loyola of the Social Sic-ence building and the B. M. O. C.chin of Mrs. Hutchins’ husband. Thehair ha.*-' not yet been identified.•Mrs. Dilling who has been indus¬triously attacking everyone fromEmma Goldman to indigent profes¬sors who once voted for LaFollettehas an article placed, strangelyenough on the editorial page. Above•t is a paragraph by Tyroler inwhich he nobly asserts that Com¬ment espouses no particular causebut that its issues are based upon“the classic mean advocated by Aris¬totle.” When you say that smile.STILL MORE ABOUTCOMMENT^Vith the exception of a rather^illy and uncalled for book reviewnnd some pretty lousy filler by cer¬tain campus lights who are probablyalready ashamed of themselves, thesecond issue of Comment is prettygoo»!. Scott Buchanan, professor atthe University of Virginia, has aJ)recise and acute article on theoriesof history. Hutch gives Tom Jeffer¬son a plug, and the two stories, un¬like the usual run of the mill kindwhich infest campus literary maga¬zines, are well worth paying two bitsfor. And if you thinlk Commentisn't so good, you ought to readwhat other institutions of higherlearning fondly believe to be liter¬ary magazines.about j. jontrySometime ago I wrote a letter crit¬icizing the type of plays that theDramatic Association has been giv¬ing during my three years in school.It seems that I offended the sensi¬bilities of one of the more loyalalumni of that organization. Al¬though he is engaged at the pres¬ent among the busy marts of tradebe has found time to write an an¬swer to my charges. It seems thatthe Dramatic Association has beenso impoverished that it has beenforced te produce popular plays inorder to make money.

In the meantime,alumni representatives will handlethe situation.A temporary organization is tocontinue over the summer underthe direction of Mr. Harding. Asstated in a letter to chapter presi¬dents Monday night, the purpose ofthe office is “to employ a secretaryto gather data on all possible proj¬ects which might be undertaken inthe fall; to carry out cooperationon the rushing of men for the Uni¬versity; and to perfect the plan inthe greatest possible detail forlaunching in the fall.”Until an agreement is made be¬tween the fraternities, the Interfra¬ternity Committee will continue toformulate rushing plans, workingwith the University and Mr. Hard¬ing’s office.Phoenix Does Swan Song Todayin Best Issue of Current YearBy BETTY HANSENThe swan song Phoenix makes itsappearance on campus today, re¬minding us once more that a revis¬ed editorial policy, a capable andoriginal editor, and a varied andinteresting content have removedfrom the Phoenix the somewhat du¬bious reputation of its predecessorsof other years and indicating howgood a campus humor magazine canbe.

Immediately following the elec¬tion the appointment of Sidney Hy¬man as associate editor was an¬nounced.Morrison, a member of Phi Kap¬pa Psi, was the author of the “Arm¬chair Clinic,” a column in the mag-I azine. He also was co-author of theTravelling Bazaar for a period, af¬ter which he wrote ^"The GreeksHave a Word,” the fraternity col¬umn in The Daily Maroon. He isalso a member of the dramatic as¬sociation and Blackfriars.Board of ControlAbrahms, a Kappa Nu, has beenin active charge of the business de¬partment of the Phoenix for the pastthree months.

The two issuesfrom which we judge, the second ofwhich goes on sale today, have bornwitness to the progressive vision ofCharles Tyroler and his co-workersand have indicated that next year’sComment will surely bring addedprestige to the publication and itsgodfathers.Illustrated with an interestingportrait of the author by MaudePhelps Hutchins, President Hutch¬ins’ article on “The Higher Learningin America” expresses with claritythe presidents’ views on educationand its founding and present statusin America. This article is particu¬larly significant for the way inwhich it sheds new light on theideals and plans behind the Univer¬sity’s general method of education.Surely one of the highlights ofthe issue is Dr. Adler’s touchingpoem on a subject no poet neglects—girls. We hasten to add that thepoem was composed by our locallogician at the tender age of nine,but nevertheless it contains unmis¬takable evidence of true genius andan indubitable promise of futurefame.Comment presents two shortstories by writers who indulge themselves to some extent in theusual undergraduate penchant forHemingway, but in a new way. Thisobservation is more strictly applic¬able to the first story, “One FeltHat” by James Kingham, which isadmirable for its restraint and forits well-calculated brevity. LouiseColeman’s “Three Take a Walk” is apleasing study of childhood, itsthoughts and feelings.Georg Mann writes a gorgeousburlesque of the general Stein-Joyce school of the arts in “Remem¬brance of Things to Come.” Mrs.A. W. Dilling continues to crusadethe University where “bourgeoisproperty-owning professors propa¬gandize Marxism to capitalistic stu¬dents.”ESSAY CONTESTManuscripts in the Alfred WhitalStern essay contest, for which theprize is a full tuition scholarship of$300.00, must be submitted not lat¬er than June 30, Dr. James M.

KeithMartin Gardiner Sidney Hyman Georg MannNight Editor: Henry KelleyAssistants: Felsenthal and SternWednesday, June 6, 1934IN DEFENSE OFINTOLERANCEThe Daily Maroon has been accused of beingintolerant. Journalistically the accusation isfalse, since Maroon opposition received more con¬sideration than ever before in the history of TheDaily Maroon.If the accusation means intolerant the way wethink it does, we choose to be complimented.Some kinds of intolerance are desirable and neces¬sary for progress.Therefore, we propose to defend a kind of in¬tolerance.There are people who are broadminded andthere are people who think they are broadminded.Those who think they are broadminded are usual¬ly called ‘tolerant’.Such persons are likely to subscribe to the prop¬osition: “All things are matters of opinion.”No statement could be more intolerant.If each thing were a matter of opinion for everyindividual man, nothing could be true for morethan one man at a time. Therefore nothing canbe true at all. If nothing i.s true, what is the ex¬cuse for universities, which, among other things,are devoted to a search for the truth. Nothingman had ever accomplished would mean any¬thing to those who believe that everything is amatter of opinion, for they are complete skeptics.Plato originally tore the proposition down byindicating that if asserted as true, the propositionwould deny itself. Otherwise the statement wasa matter of opinion itself and whoever assertedit must needs be reduced to complete skepticism.Considering this position of complete skeptic¬ism carefully, we have come to the conclusionthat it is a position of extreme intolerance, deny¬ing all progress, past, present, or future. Anyonewho holds it must remain silent in the presenceof rational people. He cannot even call themintolerant.Since no one in so intelligent a community asthe University can possibly hold that all thingsare a matter of opinion ,there must necessarily besome things that are either true or false. Other¬wise we could only entertain a proposition. Wecould not act.Those propositions which the intellect intuitive¬ly realizes are true, are self-evident truths, as arethose propositions which can be proved by a sin¬gle demonstration.Persons who deny the validity of a truth that isself-evident possess a kind of bigotted, emotionalintolerance that any rational person may refuseto deal with. The refusal gives rise to the accusa¬tion of intolerance. This kind of intolerance wewant to defend as just.Rational men have a right, if they wish to savetime, to be intolerant of simple or intentionalstupidity. Just as we can ignore those who be-who believe nothing and thjnk believing nothing displays an open mind. As a matter of fact, itmerely displays a vacant mind.Another statement that is dogmatic and intol¬erant is this: “Nothing is true that is not applica-lieve things by simple faith, we can ignore thoseble.” Or: “Nothing is any good that does notwork and cannot be used practically.”This terrible proposition ignores one whole fieldof thought and elevates another to absolutism. Itignores speculative thought which is the way towisdom for men and elevates practical thought toa position of judgment over all things.The business world is anti-intellectual and anti¬social. University contempt for the businessworld rests on those two accusations. Yet thebusiness world is continually asking, “Will itwork? Is it any good? Can it be used?But in University quadrangles is the situationdifferent? Yes. A university is devoted to train¬ing in the intellectual virtues and a search for whatis true. In a word, a university’s highest endeavorsare in the realm of speculative thought. Yet somemembers of the University community go aboutasking, “Will it work. Is it any good? Can it beused?’’ What we want to ask them is: “Whocares?”If knowledge for its own sake is practical, thensuch anti-intellectuals may be answered in the af¬firmative. If not, they may be told to remainsilent until they can think up an intelligent ques¬tion. This has been called intolerance.If it is intolerace, then intolerance should be de¬fended because it saves time, conversation, andnervous energy.If a university does not seek knowledge for itsown end, and does not cultivate the intellectualvirtues, we suggest that universities be abolishedas a waste of time. Secondary schools can giveus good adveie, train us in the moral virtues,teach us to earn a living, and give us enough factsto insure our capability for an evening of con¬versation.But if wisdom is needed for intelligent action,universities must continue. If man is to save him¬self from himself, he must become intolerantenough to observe rules of speculative thoughtand to recognize the value of its conclusions.—J. P.

Lettersto theEditorE<iit<or, The Daily Maroon,Dear John:Congratulations on a great year!Never have I read a Maroon withmore real stuff or with more humorcolumns. Of them all, however, Ithink the editorials and the Lettersto the Editor have been the funni¬est. In fact they have often ap¬proached the state of being a“wow.” Despite your ability tochoose writers, the Bazaar has beenbadly overshadowed by the twopreviously named columns, and itreally isn’t fair.Then again I hav<e, from timeto time, fairly bristled with angerat some of the things I have readin the Maroon. Blit with my usualself control I have been able tolaugh it off. “Good old John,” Ihave said. “He does love to getthings wrong because he does so liketo see people think.” And it’s greatstrategy. I suspect you would diefor joy if a mob of five hundredreaders were to storm LexingtonHall with brick bats as a result ofyour having moved them to think.But in particular. One day recent-tly you put the Dramatic Associa¬tion on the pan, and a right smarteditorial it was. It showed lots oforiginal thought, and weeks of in-vestigration, to say nothing of sev¬eral years of constant companion¬ship with those who could not quitemake the grade in the Dramatic As¬sociation.Even so, I will grant a lot of thethings you said, though they werehardly facts. It is true that the at¬mosphere of the D. A. is not ahealthy one. No, there are too manyof what we call “regulars,” peoplewho are genuinely interested andwho can be depended upon, whomake it difficult for those fanaticsand punch-drunk geniuses of the In¬ternational House type to get anywhere. If I were very drunk I mightagree with you that it would bebetter to let the D. A. fall into thehands of that peculiar group oi,well—shall we say “intellectuals”(with all apologies to the word), orrather let ua say Bohemians whohave about as much slant on true campus life as Hutchins’ dog. Ham- jlet. Perhaps it would be better to |have a few people such as G. K. F. jM., that ardent supporter of true .theatrical art, in a responsible posi¬tion, and then have them walk out jthree nights before a production, as |is his wont. iI think not. !Perhaps it would be a good thing jif the D. A. were to go in strictlyfor Shakespeare, Ibsen, and an oc¬casional Greek tragedy. I’m all forit. But, John, your group of intellectuals is so small, and the D. Amust make money to line the pockets of the officers with gold (D. Alosses, 1933-1934, amounted to $60—ed.) You know that. Therefore,we must have bills that appeal tothe football players, to members ofthe Maroon staff, and others of thelower but more crowded plane. Andimagine my amazement through theyeairs, to see you, and Hutchins,and Adler, and even Tyroler comingto the D. A.’s production year afteryear and adding their faint applauseto that of the ordinary folk aroundyou. I didn’t think people on yourlevel could possibly stoop to hypoc¬risyThen their elections. Now thereis a sore spot. What an outrage itis to allow the rules governing theelections of the D. A. to be so sim¬ple that the intellectuals are trippedup and their candidate fails on atechnicality when they thought sure¬ly they had him in. Isn’t that lifefor you? By all means the rulesshould be made so complicated thatonly the geniuses could run theelection; but as Huntington Harrisis said to have remarked, “Geniusoften skips a generation,” and it ispossible, though highly improbable,that some year might find the Uni¬versity of Chicago without a singlegenius.As for deservers getting their re¬wards, I agree there is no justice.Isn’t it a shame that Phil White,who has only worked 4 or 5 hoursa day in the D. A. for three yearsshould be rewarded with the chair¬ manship?

(Continued from page 1)to produce, in three years, a playwhose literary value has been estab¬lished. Instead, mediocre and gen¬uinely bad plays have been produc¬ed in order to get money at the box office. Evidently the fault lies withcampus taste rather than with theassociation. Perhaps I have justenough of a strain of “B'onemian”idealism in me to believe, althoughMr. Jtontry apparently doubts it, thatcollege audiences would occasional¬ly like to see other plays than mod¬ernized versions of Getting Gertie’sGarter or East Lynne.Eighty-four courses in physicaleducation alone are offered at theColorado State Teachers College.These include such courses as speed-ball, touchbal, volleyball, play¬ground baseball, cog dancing, nat¬ural dancing, scarf dancing, folkdancing and dancing technique.(Story on page 1)LETTERS TO THEEDITOR(Continued from page 2)in a while, received the same hon¬or?And then Mr. O’Hara—that “BossTweed’’ of the D.

Of course she wasbeaten, and everyone said “She'%through in the D. A. No more partsfor her.

As one who was also exposedto what the editorial terms the“tricky and unimportant’’ questionsof the portion of the comprehensiveexaminations concerning English241, I wish to supply the dissentingvoice.The attitude of irritable disap¬pointment of the editorial, it seemsto me, lures the writer into real in¬discretion. I mean his tendency tolabel what he knows “genuinelearning,” “essential,” “comprehen-■sive,” and to dub what the otherfellow knows “minor details,” “triv¬ ial and insignificant,” or mere“curiosa literaria.” There is morethan one basis of judgment, ofcourse, for this sort of thing; andto pretend to some private or God-given pow’er of discerning just whatcomprises the “fundamental” andw^hat the “trivial” is arrant presump¬tion. Space hardly permits pointingout how the writer’s bent serves tomisrepresent specific questions ofthe examination: we can only at¬tribute his confusion in general tohis mistaking the fact that the 241comprehensive was designed, not asa general intelligence test, but toexamine his knowledge, as a special¬ist in English, of the 18th century.But this self-righteousness is notthe most irritating feature of theeditorial. I refer now to the graveinconsistency, in one who professesconcern solely for fundamentals,expressed in the writer’s anxietyabout the examiner’s exceeding the“required reading.” It may be dis¬appointing to one who has steepedhimself in the fundamentals ofAmelia not to be examined in it, es¬pecially when it was the “biggest as¬signment in required pages of read¬ing.” It may also be injustice in theexaminer to add a minor questionto find out whether the search forthe essential Fielding has led to thereading of all four of his novels,when “only three were requiredreading.” ‘But one would think thatthe writer of the editorial’s assumedsense of ultimate values would pre¬vent his saying so.Not less disappointing, to anyonewho had hoped that the New Planwould eliminate such concern for“getting by” with fulfilling just theletter of the law in requirements andassignments, is the editorial wailabout “material not yet covered inclass’ ’included m the examination.Some of us have always understoodthat it is one of the features of theNew Plan that the student presenthimself for examination when he is ready to be examined.As the editorial so truly says,“. .. one of the benefits of a collegeeducation ought to be a discriminat¬ing sense of values.’’T.
