Robb '27 Member of Eastern Irtercollenatc Newspaper Association Nows Editor this issue Friday, January 15, 1920 THE CIIAPEI, QUESTION Since long before the Christmas vacation, the COLLEGIAN Jias heard muttered rumblings fiom discontented untlci graduates who iccl that the compulsory daily chapel question has boon on •ii it 01 '^°^ on We tiust that the announcement in today’s issue will allay their teais, and bring out the fact that the committees from Student Council aie functioning as they should Following the COLLEGIAN’S two-day poll on the compulsory chapel question, Student Council passed a motion to petition the Hoard ot Trustees lor the abolishment ol the compulsion feature in the moi nmg lehgious sei vices. The Council also telt that mem bers ol the Trustee body should be informed ol every condition surrounding the-chupel question hero before they wore asked to vote on a petition which would be presented to them As a result, letteis which eoveied every phase of the problem were prepared and sent to the Trustees late last month With the preparation of the petition, which will be presented to the Hoard of Trustees at the meeting next week, Student Coun cil has placed the finishing touches on its argument. Whether the letters that were sent out last month have influenced the Trustees is a question that will be answered within a short time. It is evident that Student Council has not been sleeping on the job. The COLLEGIAN hopes that the above may enlighten those students who believe that the undei graduate governing body is doing just that. VALUE—AND MONEY Dr. Eveiett W Lord, a prominent educator, iccently, esti mated the aveiage value of a college education at seventy-two thousand dolhus. His computation, reliable as cold statistics can make them, have commanded wide-spread interest and can be counted upon to encourage many American youths to seek higher education and to startle the hard-headed business man whose comment on college has too often been, “It’s simply a waste ol time.” It is not unusual that many college students regaid the money value of a college education then* sole reason for acquiring it. In the present age. wealth is so brilliantly displayed and money seems to accomplish such wonders that there may appear to be good cause toi this attitude Those who hold it, however, are turning then backs upon a reward that dwaris the financial gain Foi the greatci value lies in the non-material, intellectual gain. Wealth cannot buy happiness Gilded luxury is often but a gaudy cloak hiding a drab hie. The man with a full pocketbook and an empty pate cannot hope to enioy the full hie of the man whose wallet is less fat, perhaps, but whose mmd is alive to the joys in literatuic and tho arts, alive to the tine values of,men and things. Such a mind should be the goal of every student; to produce such minds must bo the goal of every college or umveisity worthy of the name. BLOWING AT THE LAMP Poor Horatio Parker should turn over in his. grave. Once upon a time ho wrote a song entitled “The Lamp m the West,” and this year’s judges of the Intercollegiate Glee Club contest were so pleased with the piece that they selected it as the prize song Jor the 1926 competition However, Harvard's Glee Club has withdiawn from the contest since the boys Irom Cambridge < laim that they could not possibly allow themselves to sing the “sentimental mush.” It is funny that cntics of note have declared Paiker’s “The Lamp m the West” to be one oi his best works. They state that the music is digniticd and masterly and that the words are poetic and sincere. Nor is that all. They even go as far as to say that it is the best piece that the judges have selected for the prj/e song in the last five years. We leel that Parker’s fi lends will not lose any sleep over the Jact that Harvard has withdrawn. You see. he was once pio lessor of music at Yale—.
