Mem beis of this group claim they cannot go ahead and make an or chestra contiact, since they must wait until the Senioi Week pio ject is accepted or turned down Should Sonioi Week be accepted, the Piom would come as the initial feature ot a thrcc-day house p.u ty in the spring. The Pi om committee is to be commended for not issuing forth any signs of discontent befoie this time It will be com mended even moie it but a little additional patience is exercised Everyone concerned with the Senioi Week pioposition is earnest ly ondcavoiing to got the question settled once and loi all. and action can be piomised wuthm the week. NOT FLAMING—JUST UNLUCKY “And may there lie no moaning ot the bar when I put out to sea.’* When Tennyson penned those beautiful words, little did he lcaltzc that some years later so-called “Earning youth” would rise up and say, “Theie wont be when the mid-Victorians put out, and the soonm they put out, the bettei.” Even our worthy contempoiary, the New Yoik Times, lias begun to wony about “Earning youth” and has taken the younger generation to task lor bmmng the candle at both ends, “a candle which will not last the night, yet will make a lo\ely light m the piocess ot duplex combustion “ The cause lot this outbuist on the pait ot the Times was the case oi a Geoige Washington Univcisity giaduate student who was expelled because his personal publication, The Lash, was too snappy tor the college authoiities. The Lash was censoicd be cause it ot fended “nud-Victoiians and drew from them such a shower oi criticism that its distribution was impossible.” The suppicxed issue was Liken fiom the news-stands because it at tempted to protest against “the existence of the irateinal oh gaichy which dominates all student affaiis at the university,” and aNo because ot the announcement that a future issue would contain a leprmt of the two much-heard-ot Rhinelander lose lct tcis Theie is no doubt that the um\ersity authorities had leason to be antagonistic when the editor proposed to print articles deemed unfit foi publication by the daily nenspnpeis. But the Times decides that modem jouth. “Earning youth” if you please, wants, ciaxes, must have this sort of wishy-washy bunk, and will bo Flaming at the ago of eighteen and Cindcis at twenty-four In condensed form, the question asked by the Times is as follows: “Is the suppiession of the Rhinelander letters and othei features ot its ilk to allow modem youth to become emotionally started?” Aic the md-Victonans, those “who refused to flame in adolescence and managed to keep alive indefinitely,” to censure jouth openly and give it a moderate diet until such time w*hen it will be suthciently matured to icad those letters? It is to laugh “Flaming youth ’ and mid-Victonans are one and the same, only the lattei knows enough to shut up about it Whcieupon, the yoitngei genciation, aftei hastily glancing about to see it any of the worthy scandal-mongers ;ue mound, whispois* “Who wants anything to do with the Rhinelander letteis? All we want is a chance to say that when these mid- Victouans weie youthful, they must hare been the smoothest uowd that cvei kept anything out ol the newspapeis” WE BEG YOUR PARDON Are final examinations justifiable? Picsident Lowell of Har vard umveisity evidently believes so In an article m the Janu ary number of the Atlantic Monthly, he makes the following con clusions: “examinations properly used arc a vital part of the educational process, but the ait oi using them to pioducc the best loxults is highly complex and difficult.” Di Lowell furthci points out that there aio thicc distinct objects to a final examination: 1 To measure the progress of the pupil; 2. As a cln'ect means to education; 3. To set a standard ioi achievement Nobody will disagree with Di. Lowell in that final examinations will be a measuie of the progress of students. But is that enough? Are not examinations simply subdivisions and requirements of the whole? The English and Chemistry departments ot Penn State have been taking a step forward m simplifying this art.' At the .close oi each semester, they piepaie questionnaires which bring out the important points m the text and collateral work Fiom this list, the final examination questions axe taken. In view oi our editorial entitled “We Have With Us” m -the COLLEGIAN ot December fourth, some may take us to task for commenting on final examinations once more.
