Never has the dan¬ger of our developing a smug, complacent atti¬tude of self-satisfaction been so apparent. Wehave been called a “top-ranking university” fortoo long. This statement, harmless in itself, didus no injury as long as we did not let it go to ourheads. Our academic life has suffered in that wehave become over-aggressive. The old statementwhich read that “You,'can tell a Harvard man,but you can’t tell him much,” will have to bechanged to, “If you try ,'to tell a Chicago man,he’ll try and tell you first.”There are some people in the University com¬munity whose purposes are understood perfectly.They aim to do nothing with gusto and expectglittering prestige as a result. University men arecertainly not as prone to such procedure as areUniversity women. The latest evidence ofprestige based on zero accomplishment of theShoreland Bar variety is the Interclub Ball. Thisultra-exclusive affair will admit only club womenand their escorts. Since any University womancan join a club if she desires, and since the clubs,by their own dictum, accomplish nothing, the“exclusiveness” of the Interclub Ball becomessublimely ridiculous.Fraternities, certainly more useful to the Uni¬versity community than clubs, have long beendemocratic. They realize that any man at theUniversity can join them and that their accom¬plishments do not merit snobbery. The Inter¬fraternity Ball would be an excellent model ofdemocracy for the clubs to follow.Complacency brings on stagnation, and soona backward movement results. And last minuteefforts at social superiority often end the exist¬ence of smug and decadent organizations. Whena group acts in such a way as to bring a tolerantsmile, half amusement and half pity to the eye.sof onlookers, it might be well to take an inven¬tory. The Interclub attitude is not so serious asto provoke alarm, but it is a trend, and one thatshould be curbed. But perhaps the clubs pre¬fer to hide behind their little barriers of falsepriot and to refuse to see that in an academiccommunity, women who cannot afford to pay fiftydollar initiation fees and monthly dues have neverbeen considered inferior,f'<i ‘With scholarly interest iwe note that all classesof campus men arc to be admitted at fifty centsa head.

Can¬didates for these awards must holda degree from a college of goodstanding, must be from 20 to 30years of age, and must know Frenchwell enough to profit by the oppor¬tunities offered them.Fellowships are available in thefollowing universities: Paris, Bor¬deaux, Grenoble, Lyons, Strasbourg,Toulouse, and the Ecole NormaleSuperieure at Sevres. There are anumber of teaching assistantshipsavailable in lycees and normalschools.
