There is Lviai .1 greater opportunity to observe sensible con duct in the grandstands. That opportunity should he used rather than abused WHY COME TO COLLEGE? Our American colleges and universities have been assailed so frequently and mercilessly in the past by aspiring journalists and magazine writer:, that students are often hesitant to admit attendance at an institution of higher learning We are told by various scribblers that college students are mild youths, adept at petting parties and poor judges of moonshine liquor However, the majority of these criticisms arc merely autobiographies of certain individuals' col lege life 1 hey are not applicable gencralk It is absurd to condemn educational institutions by the contemptuous rental ks or individuals who were noth ing slim t of being parasites in their respective MIMI Sates College is just shut the individual wishes it to he It Is actually t world, in miniature, where the studoit can indulge most of his whims and fancies, where he can grin the experience of wide acquaint ance and e•press hitnseli in various fields. Some loot, at college for athletics and social activities; others expect intellectual inspiration and stimulus Penn State is an institution where an eftort is made to satisfy both purposes But these two types arc incompatible If one is seen too often in the vicinity of the liblary, he is dubbed "bookworm," "grnul " II one uses a tom-syllable word in class, he causes a snicker from a few parasitic nit-wits It is difficult and um easonable to try to accustom these Itto types of individuals to one another Universitie, for each type have been advocated. I'm those as ha merely wish to go to college, a popular univeisity is the answer For those who wish to ac quire an education, a university of learning is the solution. _The popular institution would stress intercol legiate athletics . , student self-government and social aLtIVIIICS to prepare the student for the social pos,- tion he would hold in future life. Its curriculum would provide courses t❑ which the graduate might :impute indications of culture. The university fat learning would harbor professors who would stimu late the intellcet and prepare the student for the position 01 educational leadership that he would hold alt..' graduation An understanding of the universe, an outline of the history of man and an introduction to the social sciences that make up our institutional life would comprise the curriculum. The purpose of the first college is to produce a man who understands society and its diversions, who can "put the talk on folks," and is a fitting ornament for any drawing room A man who understand~ the world and himself, who will be a constructive leader in the nation, who is intimate with those finer things of life, will be the product of the university of learn ing Vice-President It is the university of learning that will be the true college. Few nit-wits will clutter its cloistei ed halls Scholarship will be respected and academic life will be truly educational Editor-In-Chief Assistant Editor Managing Editor Associate Edam Associate Editor THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER Pre-digested history pap for public school child ren, as advocated by the widely advertised Mayor William Hale Thompson, apparently has been wel comed on general principles by the people of Chicago. fond parents of that city could discern much evidence to support the theory that their offspring would bene fit by servings of selected subject matter on red, white and blue trays. At least, they thought, topics of least credit to the National honor (and consequent ly of insignificant importance) could advantageously be disregarded A greater spirit of patriotism would affect the children, very wisely decided the city fath ers, who little interpreted that patriotism as insecure ly established in an atmosphere of bigotry. It was through the efforts of their leader that the notorious pamphlets were written for five thousand dollars oy Hart Hanson and made compulsory in public school history classes in Chicago Just as many another theory has proved false when put to the test of practicality, so Mayor Thomp son's pet idea of education is demonstrating itself highly ineffective Not only does the new system fail to educate, it even is incapable of satisfying its former ardent supporters At the beginning, the English element of Chi cago's conglomerate population felt itself unduly insulted Later it was the Scandinavians who ob jected to having Columbus cited as the discoverer of America Lives there a man Who has not heard tit the hardy Vikings and their valorous deeds' Still more recently the Poles felt themselves slighted when in the history pamphlet, •"Lest We Forget," Count Pulaski. Revolutionary hero, was ieferred to as a Lithuanian Just as if ei,ery sane person does ,not realize that the Count was .t Pole' 11. P. Mkleham '29 L. Mastlfer 20 Business Manager Sl= But the latest storm in the Windy City is being brewed by the Lithuanians themselves, who are vio lent when they think of the pamphlets terming Gen- , eral Kosciusko a Pole. As anyone versed in history ' knows, General Getandsej Bonawentura Kosciusko was born in the Lithuanian village of Meleczows zeyne. He was not a Pole Taking these and similar objections to the new era in Chicago into consideration, the essence of the whole affair seems to be that, after all, history should show no unwarranted partialities Probably the concerti,: v; education and its purpose as it was un the Chicago adulterations are better foi as well as more ethical than their usurping succ_,,,ors And in view of the unfortunate expel). ment to this one city, the fundamentalists of educa tion still adhere to and advocate the maxim, "The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" li P Mitcham II fell, J,.

A little old man wearing a skull cap n as seated in a rocking-chair smoking an enormous pipe. I had come to buy a canal Edgeworth, but when I caught a whiff of the tobacco he was smarm g I than(,•ed my mind. The aroma of that tobacco was so delightful that I made up my mind right then and there that I n anted some of the same brand, regardless of the cost • I began with: "I beg your pardon, sir, but I came in to buy a can of to bacco, and ! would like the same brand you are smoking if you don't mind telling me" He looked at me for a moment, grasped his pipe with one band and said. "I'm smoking Edge worth Would you like some?" Of course I duly and 'I secured a supply from the old fellow. The Joke, of course, was on me, but I went on my way reimemg.
