In the "Americana" depai tment, under Connecticut, a state noted for the intellectual giants there produced, the first item reads: 'From the great university of Yale: "Choate Alumni returned to the School last Wednesday evening for the annual Yale- Choate Club banquet The Orchestra played and the Glee Club Fang a group of songr while dinner was being served . . The entire company also sang a number of songs, 'Thanksgiving,' On the Road to Man dalay,' Song of the Vagabonds' and 'A Stem Soot.' Is the last, the words 'a stein on the table' were changed to 'a Steinway piano' by special request of Mr. Shute, out of respect for. the Volstead Act." What resulted probably was trial by ordeal for the other members of the group, if we may set Mr. Shute aside for the moment. Would that the! c were no laws of slander and libel! Mr. Shute probably is an extremely cautious, delib erate, thoughtful, mechanical, stern and righteous gentleman! Tr uly wonderful it is, that the free dom the press lies in its right to suppress all ad r ectives nhrch me too expressive. What motive could have prompted Mr. Shute to suggest that Richard Hovey's delightful poem he dragged down into the muck which typifies pr esent-day Pm itanism? Desire to obey the law? Bunk! A wish to keep his comrade's thoughts on the right track? More bunk! The thought that his children might read about the banquet, and, seeing the word "stein" in print, embarass Inn , by asking Just what sort of animal a stein might be'! Pish-posh! The Honorable Mr Shute belong , in Tennessee, together with the other prominent and more notorious Puritanical legis lators. Imagine a mom] of Yale graduates, men who. a.. college students, had frequented*Morey's (we think that's the way Burt Standish spells it), singing: "Give a i ouse, then, in the Maytime Vol a hie that knows no fear! Turn night-time into daytime With the sunlight of good cheer! Poi it's always fan• weather When good fellows get together, With a Steinway piano and a good song ring inL deal." oi we know the sin] ld is glorious And the goal a golden thing, And that God is not censorious When his children have thee• Bing; And life slips its tethet When the boys get together, With a Steinway piano in the fellowship of sPrinb." Illinois, Ohio and Kansas are not the darkest parts of this country. We can't say just where we would place the nadir of intellect, because we don't know from what state the invaluable Mr. Shute LESS FUTILITY (The Dartmouth) Several weeks ago this paper attacked the in tense and futile ineptness of academic require ments during senior year. It is the present con tention of The Dartmouth that the exactions of extra-curricular activities during the same year arc equally futile and inept: that a senior has too many valueless distractions. A few years ago an experiment was tried of moving the heavy work of extra-curricular activ ities into junior yea•. This, it was thouht, would rehevc the seniors of onerous tasks, and would be sufficiently efficient to be workable. Judging by apparent results, the experiment was a failure: at present, seniors are in control of almost all activ ities, carrying the responsibilities and supplying most of the initiative that is supplied. The Dartmouth suggests that all extra-cur ricular activities change hands in the middle of the senior year. This means that the juniors would assume complete control shortly after first semester examinations. There are numerous ad vantages In such a system, which is in successful use at other institutions The senior is relieved of his petty troubles before they have become en tirely burdensome, and has time to recuperate his academic standing. The junior is enabled to ask the advice of his predecessor, and so smooth over a possible difficult inception into office And fur ther, the men at the heads of activities have the assisting dignity of seniority during most of their du ectoi ships. Senior year should not be entirely cluttered ssith a large number of unrelated activities, acad emie in otherwise. There are too many seniors who are literally too busy to think. Some of them me sinning the banquets of Oopa Umpa, some are 'managing the Hai momca Societies, and some are presiding over the destinies of the Periodical Blatt. The last undergraduate year has become an inane struggle ton ard the accomplishment of ends that are no longer accm ded even a superficial import ance by the struggler. The Dartmouth secs no reason why seniors should continue to make fools of themselves. It sees no reason why others should make bigger fools of them There will be a sufficiency of fool making after graduation: why anticipate? The last semester should be used to some advantage, and a reasonable organization of extra-curricular activities would assist matei ially in making such a use possible - President Vice-President - Treasurer EdaPr th-Chief Assistant Editor ,Managing Edttor Women's Editor W Lord, Jr '2B P R Soulßt '2B Business Manager ===l It. 13 Kilborn '2..
