WE DISAGREE
In glancing through a circular ad
vertisement of The New -Fraternity,
a scathing criticism of university life
by George Henry Gumlelfinger, wc
ran across the folowing recommenda
tion of the book:
"In The New Fraternity you have
delivered a powerful and much-needed
message, in my judgment you nave
courageously attacked the chief evils
in American college life. The fra
ternity and football, by fostering vic
ious habii and wrong ideals are
lowering the standards of higher edu
cation. As conditions now are in
our universities, the chief tributes
of 'glory' and prestige go to men like
your character Tom Kuhler, whose
merits can only be measured by the
pound. Professor George Elliott
Howard. University of Nebraska."
To us this means only one thing.
It is Professor's Howard's conception
of conditions existing not only in Am
erican colleges in. general, but par
ticularly at the University of Xebras
ka. He has been conected with this
institution for a good many cears anl
the ideas he advances undoubtedly
have their foundations here. At pre
sent he is on leave of absence but
that does not prevent us from aking
issue with him in this matter.
Professor Howard is the first person
we have known to make this charge
against the University of Nebraska
We do not believe that he has faculty
or student support in these accusa
tions. Why does he l:nk fraternities and
football? What have they in common,
that he bombards them both with one
ToUey? We wish he had delved far
ther, into the details of the question
and defended his statements with a
bit of logic and reason. Why, we
wondc-r, did he cot cite a few ex
amples or statistics to piove his con
tent ion.
Whether or not Professor Howard
is a fraternity man himself, we do
not know. But he seems to have a
rather hazy idea of their ideals. Whf-r
he charges tat they "foster vicious
hnt.its and wrong ideals' he is making
a statement that will be difficult to
defend in the lght of reason and fact
Do not think that we are defending
university life conditions there are
many regrettable circumstances exist
ing now and there probably will con
tinue to be sich. But just why fra
ternities and football are to b'ame
is more than we can see.
It is the old. old story again. The
group is judged by the individuaL
When a few fraternity members com
mit an olense, the fraternity must
tnffer. We have often heard of men
who were Masons being hung, ye
we have never gone so far as to ac
cuse the masonic lodge of fostering
criminal ideals. Occasionally a min
ister of the gospel commits a crime
yet the church can hardly be charged
with lowering moral standards.
We believe Professor Howard
aboald have pondered a few of these
things before he recommended Gund
elfinger's tirade.
Contemporary Opinion
THE LITTLE THINGS
Copyreaders In newspaper offices
are forced by habit to scrutinizze
every word that passes through their
hands. They pay more careful at
tentlon to the ruinuto details than to
matters of broader vision.
"The little errors are wheia you
catch the dickens," said a veteran edl
tor recently, to an Ohio State class
in copyreading. "When you call a
man a liar in an eight-column stream
er headline, 99 chances out of 100 it
was nlanned in the front office. The
managing editor or editor-in-chief de
liberately ordered it. But when you
call him a liar in a 25-word brief, it's
your own boot."
The litle things are the splinters
in the benches of progress. They are
the chuckholes In the boulevard of
life. Get rid of them carefully. pa
attention to them, and the big things
will materialize out of them. Many
executives judge understudies solely
by ability to do little things well. They
work on the premise that little things
well done will school a man for big
things well done.
Let no detail be too tiny or trouble
some for you. Work till it is done
right Don't leave out commas be
cause you're in a hurry. Don't skim
over little problems that are apt to
bo knotty. Solve them. Then you'l'
solve the human equation Ohio State

If the college man was as big as

When you have contributed largely
