TAKE TIME TO STUDY
Mid-semester examinations are over. Announcement from the of
fice of the executive dean have informed delinquent students ol their
shortcoming In scholastic achievement. And. as usual, there are
many-far too many-who have fallen below the safety mark, who
have failed to keep pace with ihelr studies.
It all simmers down to the fact that we are here to get an educa
tion. Studies are essentially the basis of this education, although hy
no means do they constitute all of it. We owe the fact that we are
here at all to the fact that we are here to study.
There is no reason why the average university student should not
at the same time have sufficient enjoyment outside his allotted period
for study and work. It requires the utilization of waste time. Jme
which is ordinarily spent with profligate indiscrimination, on the cam
pus, downtown and at the house. These few hours every day directed
into the channel of profitably applied study will get the mathematics
lesson, make up the back theme and write tomorrow's essay. There
will still be time left to play for those who must have their good
time."
The subject of "mid-semesters" has raised the usual question about
higher scholastic standards. It is a subject which is of pressing con
cern to us all, not because we owe it to the university and to our in
structors, but because, first of all. we owe it to ourselves to suDject
our natural wants and desires to the beneficial training which must
come from study. It is a matter of personal honor and spirit tha. we
reap the benefits of instruction and then use what we have received
as an incentive to learn something for ourselves.
NEED OF COLLEGES
The colleges have never been needed more than they are today.
Nor have their own needs, been greater. It is education that must
rescue the world from the plight into which it has fallen. If educa
tion is perverted, or if it is confined to a few. or if it is hampereu Dy
lack of public support, the conditions of life will surely grow worse.
The war has increased the need for highly trained minds; at the Fame
time It has gravely diminished the supply.
In Italy, England and France the young university men are very
few Europe is not only left impoverished and desolate of its intel
lectual capital, but also depleted, and this is the capital that is more
precious to civilization than any other form of wealth.
It is necessary, therefore, that American institutions of learning
should enormously increase their output. Europe looks to America
for help, not only in restoring its material losses, but also in recruiting
its mental and moral strength. American universities, not ltn.tan,
English or French and certainly not German or Austrian, will be t'ae
most importanL centers of higher learning now.
But they can only carry on the work that is being required of
them if they repeive the unstinted support of the public. The nieie
approval of the public is not enough; the public must open its purse.
The college teacher has always been poorly paid, his salary has
not been increased and his family is keenly aware of the shrunken
value of the dollar. College professors cannot be inspiring and cut
clent if their minds are always occupied with cost-of-living proble.K.
The college must be provided with funds so ample that they can
pay proper salaries to their teschers and carry on without handicap
their vitally Important work. Ohio State Lantern.
COLLEGE
Whenever a person speaks of football he always speaks ot colleges
in the same breath, and from the back of his mind comes forth souie
preference to college spirit. Why is this? Is It that college spirit Is so
important that athletics could not prosper without it? Yes, this is
Just about the truth, for college spirit is the dominating force whirh
makes possible all college activities.
What is football? Is it merely a trial of prowess between two
teams of eleven men from different institutions? No. it is a great deal
more than that. Football holds such great interest not thru the mere
movement of a small leather-covered oval from one chalk-marked Hie
to another, but rather because of the spirit that is behind it all the
college spirit.
Each team knows that Its student body has faith in it. whether any
members of that Btudent body were actually upon the sidelines or not.
These eleven men exert their best efforts to show their supporters that
their every ply the will to do, the sense of institutional pride which
makes real college activities in general, and which promotes and
broadens the spirit of the college Itself.
This Is what college spirit will da but low describe what it actual
ly Is? It can't be done, for college spirit is an indescribable something
that must be presenL whether we know what it la or not. It cannot be
defined by enumerating its elements any more than a house can be de
scribed by tabulation of the number of boards snd nails used in its
construction. The Industrial Collegian.

THE AMERICAN
OF TOMORROW
Nobody can tell what the American
of tomorrow will be like, but mat ue
will be intelligent, strong with the ho
mogenous qualities that compose a
united nation Is the deduction we
make from Dr. John Oabesmith's new
book, "Race and Nationality." just
published by Stokes, in which he de
scribes the fallacy of the common be
lief that the national character of the
country is unchangeable or infusible.
Great Britain, he says, Is a Biumg
example of the way in which different
races can be welded Into a homoge
nous nation with the strongest kind of
characteristics. For the Englishman
is the result of the fusion of the Sax
on, the Norman and the Briton.
Concerning the League of Nacions
Dr. Oakesmith says: "There is noth
ing revolutionary or Impossibly ideal
istic either In the conception ot the
League of Nations or the construction
of machinery for Its practical appli
cation. Both are In harmony with set
tled historical principles. Nor can It
be regarded as rash or unstatesman
like to take advantage of the interna
tional atmosphere prevailing after the
war an atmosphere in which peace
is naturally tnvisaged as the greatest
of all the common interests of human
ity In order to secure for the concep
tion support which would have failed
a few years ago. and might possibly
fail again a few years hence."
