The sentiment
The -President's 0 f the student
Duties body appears to
be in accord
with the Collegian in de-
siring legislation which will re-
duce the work of the senior presi
dent. Wherever members of the
staff have heard discussions ol the
previous editorials on the subject
they have been found favorable.
At Cornell this office is more
honorary than executive with the
lesult that the duties of the office
are considerably lessened. The
keen, open competition for mana-
gers or positions on the papers has
made legislation limiting the offi-
ces ol men almost unnecessaiy- In
the case of the senior president,
however, an already busy man finds
himself confionted with th:ee big
offices —executive of the class and
presiding officer of both Council
and Board. The Collegian urges
discussion of this question in the
honor societies and in the meetings
ot student government. 1 ie time
has come when the duties of this
man must be reduced. 'J he col-
umns of the paper are open to any
suggestions which will remedy the
evil.
Last year the Col-
An Open legian devoted 1 large
Column part of one issue in an
effort to determi: e what
pait of the paper the itudents
desired changed. It is impo; -able to
publish which suit: every
one [and each week there is
undoubtedly something in the
paper which is eithei par-
ticularly pliasirg or ai noyirg.
The Staff, because of this, has de
cided to devote a portion of the
paper each week to letters 1 rom its
lead ere. Whenever the suggestions
offered are deemed of sufficient
importance, the Collegian will en
deavor to carry them out. All
communications should be to the
point and be signed by the writer
as an evidence of good faith.
The lack of ten-
Tennis Courts n is courts on the
campus is ap palling.
Three courts represent the entire
tennis provisions for the whole stu
dent body. Because of numerous
requests by subscribers for action
by the Collegian, the president was
interviewed last week. Ho one
regrets the situation more than Dr.
Sparks. With two teams available
for college work, he has promised
the use of them long enough to
finish two or three courts on New
Beaver this week. All of the farm
teams are in use at present and
therefore not available for this
work, while the other teams are
harrying the completion of the new
road for commencement. Appar
ently no more courts will be avail
able until next year when the new
playground, if completed, will con
tain twenty courts. Possibly action
in mass meeting could provide for
the finishing of the balance of the
courts on New Beaver.
The Tuesday Night Lecture,
Perhaps the most interesting of
the series of interetsting lectures
given by Professor Boucke came
last night when he spoke on “Crices
in the life of Napolion I." The
lecture opened with a description of
Napoleon’s personality, his appear
ance and his character with its gi
gantic intellect, its egotism and am
bition, and its unscrupulousness.
Then the discussion turned to the
part that he played in the French
Revolution, having to do with his
parents and military training and
his role in the Revolution of 1789-
1795 wherein he ended the anarchy
of medieval despotism. Following
this came his first crisis when on
the fifth of October, 1795, he re
pelled the royalist's attack on the
republican legislature with artillery
fire. His rise to power was traced
through his being made general of
the Italian army, and his conquests
and administrative work in Fran.e
resulting in his lecognition, in 1804,
as First Consul and Emperor.
The second crisis was shown to
have come in the dethroning of the
King of Spain, including court
intrigue at Madrid, the prompting
of the siezure of Spain by Narol
eon’s “Continental System,” and the
abdication of the Spanish house at
Bayonne in 1808. Napoleon’s
zenith and eclipse came in his vic
tories and the marriage of Marie of
Austria, 1810, his defeats in Spain
and Russia, and his being sent to
Elba and his return. The third and
last crisis was the battle of Water
100, 1815, lost through vacillation and
wrong tactics, followed by his ex
ile and death in St. Helena.
Lamb to Wrestle Dorizas
Levi Lamb confirmed the reports
that he would meet Dorizas next
Saturday night in Wightman Hall
of the University of Pennsylvania.
Lamb and Dorizas met here on Feb
ruary 13, the Greek winning the bout
in 3 minutes and 30 seconds with
a bear hug and body hold. Both
Lamb and Dorizas are entered in
the annual Penn relays next Friday
and Saturday at Franklin field.
These men will compete against
each other on Friday in the weight
events and in the penthalon event
which consists of a 200 meter race,
a mile race, throwing the javelin,
hammer and discus. As both men
are entered in these events neither
will have the advantage over the
other.
County and Rural Work Men
A. E. Roberts, secretary of the
International Y. M. C. A. will be
here to interview men interested in
county work and also help in the
various conferences in rural work
that are planned in connection with
the visits of Dr. Schieffelin and
Mr. Moorland.
The last senior dance is to be
held on Friday evening. May 7, at
8 o’clock in the Armory. These
dances so far have been rather
poorly attended. They are cl-sss
functions and it is the duty of all
those who possibly can to attend.
Get “on the job” right now and the
usual difficulty in attending these
will be avoided.
