ON DELIVERING THE GOODS
One of the things not gleaned from text books, which we can learn
from observing university life is, that the fellow who has proved him
self, and who has made a name for himself, is the fellow that must
needs go on delivering the goods if he aspires to hold the good opinion
of his friends. To have "put across" some feat means that you must
continue to do so, and that each successive accomplishment must be
bigger and more startling than those that have gone before,
We do not expect the untried man to do the extraordinary. Until
he shows that he is capable of performing unusual deeds, we do not
look for any show of genius in him. But the youth, for instance, who
comes to the university with a bright high school record behind him,
and who has shown in his high school years that he is capable to
outdoing bis fellows, must keep on delivering the goods after he
reaches college. Should he fail, his fall will be much harder than
that of the fellow from whom great things were not expected.
The man who starts out in the business world with one or two
college degrees and honors alter his name is, in a way, at a dis
advantage. So much more is expected of him than of the man who'
has not had the advantages of training and education. Like the
brother or sister of a great actor, who starts out to make a name for
himself or herself on the stage, or like the man who bears the name
of some historic character, the man who starts life with a string of
college degrees, has got to do the unusual. He must prove that he
is a little better than the man who has no training. The world expects
unusual results from those who have done the unusual, and from
those who have hadi the advantages lacked by others. They, like the
mail man, must keep on delivering.
OVER-SPECIALIZATION
Modern life is composed of so many varied interests, so many in
tricate complexities, that it is next to impossible for any one man to
call himself master of them all. In order to succeed in life, he must
make himself master of one particular branch of knowledge. Thus
specialization has come into being.
The modern man must specialize, or his chances in life are
diminished. The doctor, the lawyer, the automobile salesman, the
real estate agent, the theatrical manager, the proprietor of a store
all most have a complete knowledge of their craft, else they cannot
hop to compete with those who have. To rise to the top requires
specialization.
But there is also the danger of over-specialization. Much of the
doctor's success depends on his personality. If he is too much the
scientist, if he knows his medicine but does not know human nature,
he has over-stepped himself and his knowledge will not be sufficient.
This is true in any business or profession.
Great stress is being laid at present on specialization in college.
The professional and technical schools are claiming the superiority
over the literary and cultural, basing the claim on the need for
specialization.
That this claim is not a sound one has been brought out by the
war. It would naturally be supposed that men trained in special lines
of work would have the advantage over those having a general cultural
education. This has been true in a great many cases. But it also
has been true that a college man intellectually trained has been found
to learn more quickly and easily than bis technical brother.
A broad, cultural education, besides widening the store of knowl
edge, also trains the mind. With this training as an asset, the man
who possesses it may follow almost any kind of work, his specialization
coming later. It is evident that be will be more fitted for bis work
than the man who has specialized, but who has not the foundation.
Specialize, but do not over-specialize. Michigan Daily.
MODERN HISTORY VERSUS MODERN ENTERTAINMENT
University students have more time for intellectual pursuits than
any other class on earth. Their business is to learn things, and to be
well versed on questions of importance. Many of them let that busi
ness slump in a deplorable fashion, and are considerably better posted
on "Mary's Ankle" the next dance or the latest achievement of Norma
Talmadge than the peace conference, notional politics or the con
stitution of the League of Nations.
If any period was every history in the making, the present time is
certainly that . period. Things of universal nunnent rre happening,
and any person who even attempts to attain average intelligence, tries
to keep track of current events, even if only in the laxest fashion.
Greek sculpture and the Renaissance period are important, but the
fact that a student is learning something about these subjects does not
mean that the present period is without significance for him. Any
man or woman now In the University who expects to be an Intelligent
citizen of this country will spend some time with present-day activities.
He cannot afford to do otherwise. Daily Kansan.

Geography, the Art which treats
Of water and of land.
Is also filled with knowledge which
I fail to understand;
For when the world had wild men and
No human wore a hat,
The common faith among them was
This good old earth was flat.
And sd Columbus set all sail
To prove the earth was round
By doing which he showed the world
His view or life was sound;
Yet came, anon, the carpenter
With judgment wise and fair,
And proved the earth's not round but
that
It's built up on the square.
Again the tailor tils us that
Like sword blade to the hilt.
The world's not flat or round or square
But rather Tias built.
Such varied views of Mother Earth
Should make a wise man sick.
And yet I'll ay they're all wrong for
It'a crooked as a creek.
