Today the nation commemorates tlie
birthday of George Washington,
whose name is revered in every coun
try of the world. Many of the most
cherished ideals of this land are typi
fied in this great leader. It is fitting
that some little mark of honor ho
paid to the Father of our Country to
day in all classes.
To make the Tan-Hellenic formal
more truly representative of all Greek
organizations on the campus, Kosmot
Klub has answered the call of sorori
ties and will have sorority emblems
represented in the decorations of the
formal on Friday night. A spirit of
good fellowship is to be the dominate
note in the revival of this popular pre
war tradition.
Announcement of Phi Beta Kappa
honors for students in the class of
1!23 come in just a month. In view
of this fact it is interesting to note
the study made by a graduate of Wes
leyan University on the relation be
tween good grades and success in life
after college days. I
This man wanted to find out if there
was anything in the statement which
he had so often heard that a person
who received good grades was to be
pitied rather than praised because his
chance for failure in "the world" was
greater than that of the poorer
student.
A study of the alumni of We.Meyan
University showed that of the living
graduates, fifty per cent of the men
who graduated with honors were listed
in Who's Who. Only ten per cent of
those who graduated without honors
were listed there.
A similar investigation of the rec
ords of the living graduates of twenty
two colleges showed that six per cent
of the honor graduates and only two
per cent of the total graduated were
listed in Who's Who.
Who's Who is, of course, not an ab
solute criterion of success. Its stand
ard of success may give too much
prominence to the author, the profes
sor, or the professional man. So to
overcome this objection, a study of
the class of 1M4 at Harvard was made
in which the dean of the college, the
secretary of the alumni association
and a member of the class were asked
to name the most successful man of
the senior class. They were free to
ue their own interpretation of suc
cess and were not to include men
whose success could be attributed to
wealth or family. Twenty-three men
were chosen. Their college records
were looked up and compared with
those of twenty-three men chosen at
random from the class roll. The suc
cessful men had four times as many
A's as tho.-e men chosen at random.
At the University of Oregon it was
found that of the graduates who could
be called successful, fifty-three pel
cent had been good students and only
i-eventeen weak students.
Is the moral of this investigation,
don't be afraid to do the kind of work
that brings good grades?
CAMPUS COMMENT
To the Editor:
Are the University buildings to be
used as war recruiting stations?
Is it a matter of propriety to per
mit school buildings to be used as
headquarter.? of an agitator, who, by
his own confession, is endeavoring to
raise funds to continue civil strife in
Ireland?
Mr. Peter Golder, a well-known
Irish orator, not only endeavored to
raise money Tuesday evening in the
Temple auditorium, but actually did
collect more than $500.00 to continue
the guerrilla warfare of Irish repub
lican snipers.
For more than an hour Mr. Golden
played with perfect oratorical tech
nique upon the euJons of his audi
ence. After a stirrlnjr finish to hia
talk, the speaker asked for rubserip
tions from his hearers to be used in
support of the republican cause. He
plain-spokenly usked for money TO
CONTINUE THE 1KKEGULAR
WARFARE IN IRELAND AGAINST
T H E PROVISIONAL GOVERN
MENT. Amounts ranging upward to
fifty dollars, were quickly pledged,
and young women were stationed at
the doors to collect money from those
who couldn't afford to pledge ten dol
lars or more.
Are we to construe the permission
given Mr. Golden to us the Temple
auditorium as an endorsement of his
anti-British, un-American, and un
neutral, reactionary propaganda?
Should University buildings be used
as headquarters by persons who are
raising funds to continue a horrible,
bloody and unnatural Irish civil war?

New York University Introduces
an Innovation in
Education.
New York, Feb. 19. Greece had its
peripatetic philosophers who lectured
to their students while strolling about
after the manner of Aristotle, and now
after more than two thousand years
the method has been revived by New
York University. Aristotle and his
disciples confined their journeyings to
the walks and groves about Athens;
but now, as becomes a world with a
vastly enlarged horizon, their modem
prototypes will go much farther
afield. The elates, with their instruc
tors, will wander the length and
breadth of Europe, gathering know
ledge as they go.
European tours under the guidance
of college professors are of no partic
ular novelty, but the tour arranged by
New York University differs from the
others in that those who take part in
this will be just as much students of
the university as those who attend
lectures in the classroom. College
credits toward a degree will be award
ed to those who do the work required
who take the tour. This is the first
time a university has established a
course of this kind.
It is expected that most of those
who take the tour will be teachers
and college students specializing in the
three courses of study covered by the
tour, although anyone may enroll.
These three courses will be:
Human geography, conducted by J.
Edmund Woodman, professor of geol
ogy at New York University; the
European Background of English Lit
erature, conducted by Harold Hoff
man, instructor of English at New
York University; and Contemporary
European Problems, conducted by
Charles A. Gulick, instructor in eco
nomics at New York University.
Professor Woodman wil conduct
his students through a field tour of
the countries and peoples of western
Europe, a feature of the course being
an analysis, may in hand, of the geo
graphic features of the battlefields of
the World War.
Mr. Hoffman's course offers a study
of literature in connection with visits
to the scenes made famous by poets
and novelists of all times, and Mr.
Gulick will discuss forms of govern
ment, altered national policies and
economic conditions, following the
war.
Those who enroll will be provided
with material for preparatory study,
and preliminary lectures will be given
in the course of the ocean voyage so
that the students may be well-grounded
in their subjects before the tour
begins.
Four points toward a college degree
will be allowed for each of these
courses, but no student will be per
mitted to take more than two of them.
Those who make the tour without
seeking credit toward a degree may
take any or all of the courses.
The tour, which has been arranged
by Dean James E. Lough of the Ex
tramural division of New York Uni
versity, will be under the direction of

30 on the Saxonia, travel from Paris
to Rome, return by way of the Rhine,
tour England and Scotland and sail
for home August 18.
Shoes are always being stepped
upon, but to be fair to your pair, you
must admit that the good ones have
sales. Yes, and shoes have person
alityparticularly women's footwear.
"Tis said that the personality of shoes
expresses the personality of the wear
er. The dainty miss is more than
often judged by the appearance of
her trim, well fitting oxford or styl
ishly fashioned boot. The men don't
have to wear such modish models.
But what the men's shoes lack In
style they display in shine. Next to
smokes, a shine is something prac
tically every man can afford or
thinks he can atford which is just
the same thing. In this era of the
automobile vehicle when about every
fiftieth person owns a car, shoes
don't get the wear and tear that they
used to in the good old pedestrian
days. But shoes for the 'bus are
given plenty of wear and then some.
Soft shoes on the feet provide foot
comfort, while the soft shoes on the
automobile bring about foot discom
fort. Shoes often inspire bright bits
of humor.
