lir • LIBERAL ARTS SOCIETY
Students of Arts School Give Special
Christmas Program.
The Christmas program rendered
last Friday evening by the Liberal
lits Society at the Ladies' Cottage
was much enjoyed by a large audi
ence. Among the things of impor
tance discussed as business was the
advisability of holding under the
auspices of the society an oratori
cal contest open to all freshmen of
th liberal Arts School. As a
recognition of merit in this contest
two prizes are to be awarded.
The first number in the regular
program was an essay on painting
b l v Miss Whalen. "Aurora" by
Cguido Rgeni was admirably de
scribed. Miss Whalen made her
discourse attractive by indicating
striking comparisons between cer
tain elements in the painting and
nature. Mr. Nichols spoke on
Mormonism. His talk on the his
tory of this sect was interesting,
almost a lecture on these people
who for some time have
been the causes of an im
portant problem in this country.
P.*. Weber made an inspiring ad
dress on the intrinsic worth of the
School of the Liberal Arts. He
showed plainly that this school is a
prominent factor in this institution
*is evidenced by the high stand
ing of its faculty and student mem
bers and by the rapidly increasing
enrollment. He pointed out also
that Liberal Arts students should
pursue their courses with a view to
l i nriching their knowledge by inten
sive study. No effort should be
made by the students of this school
to vie with the students in other
schools as to the number of hours
or the number of credits scheduled.
The best arts colleges of the coun
try limit the credit hours per semes
ter to 15 or 16. The time has ar
rived when the students in the
School of Liberal Arts should seek
competition with the students in
her colleges working along the
same lines. Other schools in the
college are following the same
practice.
Every man interested in soccer is
trged to come out and participate
in the practice which is held every
evening except Tuesday on New
Beaver Field at 4:30. All under
classmen will be excused from
Gym drill provided they report
%ice a week. Those who show
promise will be excused in the
spring from military drill. An in
terclass series of games is in pros
pect provided enough interest is
evidenced.

BY THE WAY
Oberlin college celebrated its
eighieth birthday on the third of
the present month. In the olden
days when things began, the col
lege consisted of Oberlin Hall, a
two and a half story frame struc
ture 35 x4O feet, the first floor of
which was given to the principal's
study, the adminstration offices
and the dinning room, the second
to classrooms and the women's
dormitory, and the attic to the men.
Smoking in or around University
of Kansas buildings must cease ac
cording to a recent ruling of the
board of adminstration.
Owing to the death of a prom
inent member of the Ursinus foot
ball team in a game early in the
season, there is some little senti
ment in favor of substituting soccer
for football in the athletics of that
college.
The Princeton observatory has
secured a new five inch photo
graphy telescope, to be used in
astronomical photography.
Many American colleges and
universities have been named in
honor of their founders or of men
who haue given large endowment
funds. Among these institutions
are Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Stan
ford, Dartmouth, Brown, Williams,
Bowdoin, Colby and Dickinson.
The University of Chicago has
an "Honor Association", which
recently adopted resolutions em
bodying the establishment of a
court to try members' of the stud
ent body for violations of the
honor code.
