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—.
