President Burton of the University of Michigan has asked for the remov al from campus life of "many things that should turn red with shams the faces of any decent man or woman." He asked for the return of chivalry. A splendid editorial in the Lincoln Star discusses this problem. The ed itorial follows: THE RETURN OF CHIVALRY. Marion Leroy Burton, president of the University of Michigan, ocupies a unique position among educators. Dr. Burton is not in appearance, ac tion or a word a typical educator. A brilliant student and scholar, and one of the best known and most deeply respected college heads in America, Dr. Burton impresses one as a bus iness man, whose daily contact is with industry and the problems connected with it. There is food for thought in his re cent address to the students of the University of Michigan, in which he presents a plea for removal fro- cam pus life of "many things that snould turn red with shame the faces of any decent man or woman." He asked for a return of chivalry. "You students are lazy. You loaf, you gamble, you spend week-ends in big cities, and then you wonder why we don't want you here. We must have student who are men. They must believe in honesty, decency, must be chivalrous, must respect themselves and be industrious. We must wisely bring back some of the chivalry of the middle ages." Dr. Burton is concerning himself with the same problem which has at tracted the attention of a large pro portion of the educators of this coun try. Possibly chivalry is hardly the name for it, although there is plenty of evidence in everyday life that his charges have too much foudation in fact. Everywhere, however, there is ample proof of a growing disrespect among those of the student body in the colleges and universities for the more precious and sacred things of life. It has its inception in disrespect of parental authority. The first lesons in discipline and reverence must be learned in the home. If father and mother cannot or do not command re spect from their children, certainly the chances outside of the home ar; doubly diminished. It is not to be believed, however, that this younger generation is any better or any worse than those which have gone before. If anything the tendencies against which Dr. Burton voices a protest are the result of dereliction of the par ents in not demanding more of their children. They want them to be free of unecessary restraints, and to en joy themselves to the fullest extent. They do not insist on obedience with the stubborn insistence of fathers and mothers of a quarter of a century ago, because in so many instances they are too busy with other things. In this fashion disrespect first originates. That young men and women should scoff at the sacred ties of life, that they should secure a false impression of the value of convention and tradi tion, that they should seemingly feel feel no pressing need of spiritual re generation or exhortation is not sur prising. From the days when they are supposed to prattle at their mother's feet, or on their father's knee, they are missing the inspiration of ex amples in the home. Upon the already heavily-burdened shoulders of the edncator, a new re sponsibility has been thrust. In the absence of the proper training -in the heme, the teacher is expected to as sume responsibility for the moral and civic traiinig of the youth. He is ex pected to imvumt in the youth a rev erence for eld age, a deep abiding in stinct of chivalary towards woman hood, a love and reverence of those things in life which are dearest to the RAG CARPET Ass is tan est Succor I HE WAS. "There will be a board meeting at the close of the sermon," announced the preacher after an extremely lengthy discourse. But at the meet ing he noted that a strange young man had remained. "My dear man," said he, "Are you one of the board?" "Indeed I am," he responded. A TRIFLE LATE. Neivous young man dashing breathlessly up to station agent: "I say, when does the first train rsave for Galesburg?" "Son," replied the old man, "The fust train left for Galesburg jn 1861. American Legion. At least in defense of our Armory walk it can be said that the students trod the straight and narrow way. CURRENT REMARKS. "Hello, old top," said the new spring lid. A flivver student is probably one who makes a low grade. "One can sure tell that you're a married man. No holes in your stockings any more." "Nope, one of the first things my wife did was to teach me how to darn thsrn." Legion. Now is the time for all good fra- j ternities to invite the dean to dinner. hearts of all in those rare minutes of reflection. It is a stirring call, which faces the educators of this country. They long to mold boys and girls into the proper kind of men and women. The ideal which is thus held forth tugs at the heart but it is a heavy responsibility and the teachers need the help of fathers and mothers in a larger measure than they are now receiving. Dr. Burton is quite right when he savs there needs to be a return of the chivalary of the middle ages. There can be no such return, however, soley through the efforts in the class rooms in the schools and colleges of this country. It must originate at the fire-side of . millions of American homes.. a very vital thing, and the production o ' artistic material may in tima be an end to which the tremendous poten tial energies of our most capable citi- i rcn may be directed.

Oberlin, we be lieve, has pointed one valuable way. Notices. COMMITTEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEFICIT. The Junior-Senior Prom committee has decided to make the affair in formal. In view of the recent dis cussion in the Student Opinion col umn of the Daily Nebraskan, it is only fair to state that there will be no class deficit because of the Prom and no assessment to make up any deficit that might arise. The committee that is in charge of this function is personally respon sible for any deficit that might arise. There is a University ruling which piovides that any deficit shall be made up by the committee that is in charge of the event. All of which makes it impossible that the classes will be held responsible. The party will be held May 10 and will be in the nature of a spring party with special decorations and at tractions. Underclassmen will pro bably be admitted, with the juniors and seniors as sponsors for the affair. The College Press.

It appears that the Oberlin Drama tic asociation covers some 2000 miles on tours and visits many cities to pre sent in conjunction with local drama tic associations, mostly guided by Oberlin alumni, the latest and best which modern drama affords. This means that-the ordinary Rotarian cit izen may see the works of Shaw, Galsworthy, and Dunsany presented by students who can present them ex cellently. Incidentally Oberlin does not fail to profit through presenting fine works in an exceptionally fine man ner. Oberlin is coming to be re garded as a college from which much worth while material goes forth every year, material which is in people's minds intimately connected with dra matic productions of unusual calibre. But even greater in potential ef fect is the introduction to common men and women of the Middle West the greatest plays now being pro duced in a world which knows far too little of the brave things of soul.

Townsend Portrait photographer. a V' In assets and volume of business, life insurance is one of the three leading businesses of this country, yet the field is comparatively undeveloped. Only seven per cent of the economic value of all lives in United States is covered by insurance. This gives you an idea of the big field still to be developed. As to REMUNERATION, reports of collegn graduates who have entered business indicate that life insurance is at the VERY TOP as a SOURCE OF INCOME. Now is the time to consider what you are going to do at the end of the semester. f you are ambitious and willing to work hard and are interested to know about life insurance as a vocation, address the LINCOLN LIBERTY -LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Lincoln, Nebraska, or cal' in person at 305 Ganter Building, 12th and O Street. The smaller the hat, the bet ter the style this spring. The close-fitting hat that emphasizes the shape of the head and the curve of the neck is the hat that fashionable wo-' men have adopted for all the informal hours of the day. Mary Pick ford, for instance, wears a snug fit ting felt hat with up-turned brim when she goes to the dock to see friends off on the Olym pic. And the very small hat does for her what it does for all women of her type-accentuates her youthfulness and calls at tention to the delicacy of her features.
