From my observations I cantruthfully say that the creative im­pulse of American students as far,as literary ability is concerned, isnil. We here in the United States,are supposed to be the pioneers inevery line. We are supposed tobe the creators of everything new.The young men. of this country he­tween the ages"of twenty and' twen':"ty-five who are attending the uni­versities are doing nothing new.Many are Not University Men."In the last generation it has notbeen the university men who ac­complished anything in the literaryfield. Mark Twain, William DeanHowells and O. Henry certainly werenot university men. To be sure, acertain number of men in our uni­versities have to follow in the lead ofstandard literary styles, to gain dis­tinction in the field of scholarship.But for the ethers, we can offer noexcuses. They are in a literary rut.I do not believe that there are anypublications on any of the campusesof OU1· universities which are intend­ed primarily for original work in po­etry, drama or literary criticism ofany kind."I have noticed in contemporaryHolland a particular contrast. It isthe young men there, the students inthe universities, who are setting dieliterary fashions there. They arethe foremost critics. They are cheones who are carrying on the revolu­tion against old litetary authoritiesan� traditions. I do not; believe thatthere is one one-hundredth of the lit­erary interest shown in America thatthere is in Holland.Van Eeden. is Example."Van Eeden is at present an ex­ample of the. progressive literarystudent in the Holland of today. Hehas led in a revolt against traditionand rhetorical literature. From thetime that he was a boy of twentyhe has been a literary crusader in themovement for freshness in writing.He is the poet of restfulness, of re­pose. He is the poet of serenity. VanEeden, like Keats has a feeling forbeauty. With John Keats he be­lieves that beauty is truth and thattruth is beauty. He has a keen sym­pathy with nature.

As the conversationbecomes reminiscent one after an­other is likely to bring forth fromamong the memorials of the storiesof the pranks which helped to addto the gayety of student life, talesof the triumphant circumvention ofsome watchful professor. The re­cital of these incidents is usuallyreceived with admiring applause andapparently no one thinks less of aman for having engaged in suchdeceptive _practices.The psychology of cheating is aninteresting subject for speculation.The student who is dishonest in hiswork is not often sure that any prin­ciples are involved; anyway his at­titude is simply a light-hearted ig­noring of whatever moral princlplesthe student thinks may perhaps beinvolved in practice. This attitudeis a survival of the schoolboy in thecollege man. It is not a thing to beproud of, and yet some would ex­cuse it, if a man is willing to be ex­cuscd for moral lassitude.One other attitude can be con­ceived. of. That is where a man reoalizes fully that his' acts are dis­honest, but goes ahead anyway toprocure by dishonest means what hecannot procure by honest means. Thistype is in the minority, we believe;and yet there is no reason for be­lie v ing that it is altogether absent.Some black sheep must be found inany large group of men, and a Uni­versItj' is no e:-:ception to the rule.It makes no difference what atti·tud.::! �-ou take into account, it stillremains a fact that the man who i�dishonest breaks a law, and hurt�not only himself, but others. Hisdiploma does not represent what itpurports to be; and he brings an in·justice upon his honest classmate�who failed and can not graduate, andupon those who do not fail, but get nogreater reward ior their cf­forts. Therefore, the cheater shouldbe banished from the communitywhich he so injures. Any studentcau�ht in the act of dishonesty inhis work should be expelled imme­diately.This summ�l!'y discipline has beenme�d out recently in the Univer.sity, probably not to the very let­ter of the law, but in what has beenconsidered fair punishment, by theHonor commission. But ·this sys­tem has one weakness, in that it docsnot lessen the number of cases whichoccur every day and at every ex­amination time. \Vhen a man hasbeen. caught in a dishonest act and1\'-, punished, the record is sealed up insome office :iil:! and no one but thoseimmediately interested in the affairhave any knowledge of- the results.Publicity has been advocated as ameans of lessening the numbers orcheats in the future. The studentwhose moral fibre has a tendency toweaken will hesitate if he stands agood chance to be exposed to the pub­lic as a "crook." Consequently manystudents who are interested in theHonor sentiment in the University,students who have learned througheexprience that a sentiment is worth­less in practice, believe that publicityshould be resorted to. The subjectis one well worth while the attentionof the Honor commission and thefaculty. And if they feel that sucha method would not be feasible, theymight put into jirnctice the rulesgoverning examinations in the Lawschool. where cheating is impossible.One 01 the other must be done ifdishonesty is to be curbed.COMMUNICATIONS(In view of the fact that the com­munication column of the Daily Ma­roon is maintained as a clearing housefor student and faculty opinion, TheMaroon accepts no responsibility forthe sentiments therein expressed.Communications are welcomed by theeditor, and should be signed as an evi­dence of good faith, although thename will not be published without thewriter's consent.)To Whom it May Concern:On or about the night oi J anuarytwenty-eighth last an act of theftand vandalism was committed on thenew residence of the Omega Chapterof the Psi Upsilon F'r.xternity at 56:3£1Urii v crsity Avenue.This building, which is now incourse of completion, has been erect­ed by tile alumni of the fraternityand has not yet been turned over tothe chapter for occupancy.A stone owl attached to the stone OFFERS TWO PRIZESFOR STUDENT ESSAYSNational Municipal League Gives $100for Best Paper on MunicipalBudget Making.The National Municipal league,with headquarters in the North Amer­ican building, Philadelphia, Pa., isagain offering two prizes for essayson municipal government.

A short time ago he was thesponsor for a Utopian colony. Hefounded this ideal community at Wal­den, where the group worked for theindi vidual and the individual for thegroup. He attempted to make thepeople of his community rich withlittle. Thoreau, Ruskin and Tolstoicontributed in a certain sense to theidea; but Van Eeden added manyideas of his own. His great thoughtwas that a 'man who lives for his'community, is far greater than' hewho dies for it... Community is Failure."Van Eeden confidently thoughtthat his colony was the first stage to­wards the millennium, but he did notcount on the weakness of human na­ture. He was forced, through theactions of certain of the membersof the colony to give up the wholeplan .. He lost his entire fortune andhis property, bu� his failure has notcrushed him in the least or madehim cynical. So far, in the literaryfield he has been unsurpassed in Hol­land. Many competent critics be­lieve that he is one of the most sig-,nificant writers at the present time.

A .squad in the club tank tonight at8:15. Coach White has arranged themeet in order to give the Maroonspractice before the opening of theConference season. The, C. A. A.swimmers have with few exceptionsheld national records and the Chi­cago team has slight hopes of win­ning.Eight events are scheduled for thecontest and a water basketball gameis a1.::0 on the program. The Maroonsstand the best chance in the 220 andshould take, first and thirds places.Earle, national college champion inthe event, should take first againstWood of the C. A. A. Crawford hasbeen doing the event in fast timeand is counted on to take thlrc place.Varsity Expects to Win Relay.Coach White's entries are also fav­orites in the relay. The Chicago menwill be the same combination thatWon from Cincinnati in easy fashionlast week. Capt. Meine, Earle, Col­lins and Crawford are the quartet,Who will swim against the down­town aggregation. The four makeup a well-balanced squad. Collins isa strong man in the dash. Crawfordand Earle are also dash men, whileCapt. Meine was a member of lastyear's national relay team. The C.A. A. four will be Woods, Huzagh,Mallin and 'Harless.The Maroons are counting on firstplace in only two. events. The C.A. A. entries are too good in the.other events for college men to beat,but Coach White expects to take agood number of" seconds. If Chicagocan slip in a fairly large share ofseconds, the team will stand a goodchance to take the match.Enter Heyne and Bornemann.Tha C. A. A. candidates will probeably be Woods, Huszagh, Mallin andHarless in the 160 relay. Chicagohas entered Rubinkam in the fancydiving, while the C. A. A. has en­tered Heyne, former national cham­pion, Bornemann, another ex-cham­pion and Burton.Collins and Meine will swimagainst Mallin and Huszagh in the40 race.

Oleson and Scoles,who was the mainstay of last year'sNorthwestern team, will compete inthe 150 back stroke against Capt.Meine and Collins.Earlc May Take First.Earle may also take a first in the100 swim, if the other events havenot tired him exceedingly. His matewill be Collins, while the downtownswimmers will probably be fd�llinand Huszagh.Chicago has the strongest waterbasketball team and should have aneasy time winning. All the men onthe team except two, Bowers andGoldman, are veterans of the game.The team work has been improvedin the last weak and Coach Whitebelieves the chances for a Confer­ence championship are good., ., '"LI,JI,.:�ti1t1iFreshman Class Gives Dance.The Freshman class will give aninformal dance Friday afternoon at3:30 in the Reynolds club. PSI UPSILON MEMBERSFAIL TO REGAIN BIRDNo Important Discovery Is .Made inSensational Case-Suspects AreCarefully Watched.Although the local chapter of thePsi Upsilon fraternity conducted alluntiring search all day yesterday,the owl that formerly roosted on thesouth cornice of the new mansion isstill numbered among the lost, strayedor stolen. Several clews were close­ly followed, but the investigationeresulted in no important discovery.The theory that the missing birdhad migrated in quest of warmerclimes was exploded yesterday whenamuteur search discovered foot prints­on the tar roofing. The conditionof the stone ledge also proved thatsome trespasser had carried off theornament. Outside of this discoverythe detective work was without re­sults.Suspects Are Watched.Several suspects are under closesurveillance, according to prominentmembers of the fraternity, who re­fuse to make their suspicions publicat present,"We believe we have the right menunder watch," said a member of thefraternity last night. "There arevery few men in school who wearnumber twelve shoes and such werethe tracks discovered yesterday. Wehope to make a definite statement to­morrow."Large Reward Is Offered.Meanwhile the Alumni buildingcommittee has taken a hand and sentseveral professional detectives to in­vestigate. A large reward has beenoffered and it is hoped to recoverthe antique by this means. It isreported Maclay Hoyne has discon­tinued his expose of the auto thievesand is bending all his efforts onthe recovery of the bird.A wild rumor that the owl had beenlocated on the top of the tower atWhite City park was circulated yes­terday. Two adventurous freshmenclimbed the edifice, but found noth­ing bigger than a sparrow. It isb�lieyed that the report was a hoaxon the part of some other fraternity,NEWS OF THE COLLEGES."Cardinal Loyalty" is the title ofa new University of \Visconsin !Songjust published.
