DEVELOPMENT OF RADIO
The decision of the board of re
gents to hire a full-time radio expert
to have charge of the work of distrib
uting market (and. 'wleather reooris
from the university and to take charge
of other work which has arisen since
the installation of the radio at the uni
versity is only an additional proof of
the growing importance of the nowly
developed art. But a comparatively
short time ago radio was an unknown
thing. Now manufacturers of equip
ment find it impossible to fill the ord
ers as fast as they come in.
Radio is probably the most import
ant invention of the last century. It
lias enabled thousands of people to
listen to grand opera concerts who
might not otherwise get a chance to
hear them. It has enabled important
lecures to be distributed throughout
the country almost at the same mo
ment as they are delivered at tue
place of the meeting.
But these are not the most import
ant features of the invention. As
radio develops it lis probable that
hundreds of lives and millions of dol
lars worth of property will be saved
from disastrous floods, storms, etc.,
by the ability to warn people in the
path of the danger. Train wrecks
may be averted through a radio warn
ing to trains carrying equipment.
Radio at the present time is fast be
coming a family pleasure. Hundreds
of people are daily installing sets am'
using them as a means of spending
an enjoyable evening listening i
musical concerts and lectures. Devel
opment of the radio as a mears of
pleasure should not be allowed to go
too far for fear that the practicability
of the instrument may be overshad
owed by its use for pleasure.
The university regents and Dean
Ferguson of the engineering ollege
are to be congratulated for their at
tempt to develop to the fullest extent
a radio department at the university.
SUMMER STUDY
The increasing interest which stu
dents are taking in the summer school
sessions of the university serves to
indicate the importance which study
during the vacation period has. Net
only teachers, for which summer
school seems originally to have oe:-n
designed, put regular students are
more and more pursuing their studies
during the summer sessions.
Credit in the summer sessions is
figured as two-thirds of a semester
for credit pupils. This is necessitated
by the swift method in which the
courses must be covered. Practically
the same amount must be taken vp in
six weeks as is ordinarily completed
in nine months of work.
Large attendance in summer school
is gratifying at any time, both from
the standpoint of the student and the
university. For the student It means
a larger selection of courses, more
subjects offered and more instructors
In the popular courses. There are
ample lecture rooms, laboratories and
classrooms. The same equipment can
be used by 2,000 students as is ord
inarily devoted to the instruction of
some 5,000. Administration, janitor
service, and In general the overhead,
is not increased at all by the presence
of additional students. The actual
expense for additional instructors is
relatively light and Inasmuch as tnero
are many competent teachers avail
able during the summer months, no
difficulty is experienced in caring for
the lecture and classroom instruction.
CONTEMPORARY OPINION
SOMETHING ADO
A man likes a little fuss and es-
tentation, naturally enough, and en
joys having much made of him af
ter accomplishing something difficult.
To just slide out of the university
after four or five hard years of ap
plication to studies would seem a dis
appointing end to his undergraJuate
career to a senior this spring. He
doesn't regard the closing of scnool
as a mere prelude to a summer vac;",
tion. It means to him the end of for
mal education, his school days. He
has to grow up from then on; ho has
'o go out and buck the world; he Is
Ftarting out in "real life."
And so he wants to make his de
parture something pleasant to remem
ber. A jolly recollection capping a
long experience of going to school is
the thing.
He would like a little formal ii''
about his exodus, even a little cert
mony and pomp. A gathering of all
the university at a serious convoca
tion, with himself and his fellows the
center of attraction is what be wants
to satisfy this desire. And he warns
a little fun, too. For this, a senior
frolic, a masquerade, a "hooky daj."
or any frivolity marking the end of
his long years of serious application
would do.
It is a great event in the senior's
life, this graduation, and he is en
titled to have it treated as such.
