A REPLY.
An interview with a University
of Nebraska graduate student whose
home is in a foreign land appears in
in this issue of The Daily Nebras
kan. That student makes the usual
comment that American students are
superficial And condemns the fra
ternity system. He admits that the
American -system of athletic compe
tition is food, but voices the Ameri
can opinion that too many are on the
bleachers rather than on the field.
Probably the fundamental reason
for this recurrent statement that
American students are shallow 5s
that here higher learning is avail
able to a greater percentage of the
people than in Europe. This broad
ening and levelling influence is cer
tain to go beyond mere intensive
study and include the humanizing
elements of student activities in uni
versity training. j
Although the charges of supcrfici-;
ality has been heard from visitors
from other lands so often that it is
idimissed as unintelligent by most
Americans, it may be that student
activities are growing too numerous,
as this man suggests. An investiga
tion might show that such a point
system as that which missed adoption
last spring by a dozen votes will be
necessary check in the near future.
The decision that American stud
ents do not appreciate the fuU sig
nificance of great works of litera
ture is unfair in that the literary
stars are not usually the ""social"
lights f the campus. The masses,
in any country, are not likely to be
expert literary critics. On the 'Oth-;
er hand, English professors in Ame
rican universities and American au
thors and poets are as great as any
that have ever been developed in Eb-i
rope. The English language is larg
er, more flexible than almost any
other. The literature of such a lan
guage must be more comprehensive,
more difficult of absorption by the
average person.
The indictment of the fraternity
as a survival of primitive times is m
little inaccurate. The fraternity is
a modem institution. Too mnch im
portance is generally attached to
this American type of organization.
Tb" fraternity influence, it is ad
mitted by our friend from Europe,'
develops the man from the small
town, but he says it goes no further
and hence is to be condemned. The
fraternity pretends to nothing more
than an influence over the few years
spent in college. "What a man does
after graduation depends upon his
training and character acquired
before he came to college.
The visitor seems to have fallen
somewhat into the usual attitude of
Europeans, who unconsciously feel
the superiority .of an older civiliza
tion and unwittingly express this
feeling to the inhabitants of the land
in which they are studying.
Student Opinion
THE SECRETARY REPROVES.
To the Editor:
The announcement which appear
ed in your paper concerning the
meeting of the Monocle Club, Fri
day evening, was not issued by the
secretary of the club, and none of
the members has ny knowledge of
it. It was evidently the intention
of some petty-minded person to
'cause inconvenience to the members
of the dub.
This incid 1 1 brings up the ques
tion f wbethiT or not you should
have some way of checking up on
notices of determining whether
they are official. Possibly the re
quirement that all fistic be signed
by the person who authorizes them
would eliminate this trouble with
pranksters. SECRETARY,
Monocle Club.
A DEFENSE OF VESPERS.
My friend Mr. Gaffney, is evident
ly suffering under a misapprehen
sion when he attacks the venerable
institution of Vespers. It is true
that points wsed to be given for
Vespers as a "student activity," but
that policy was changed at the end
of last year when it was decided
that the only urge women should
have for attending would be their;
lildng of the music and services. i
While I have never visited Yes-!
pers, my friends tH me that the
services and music are beautiful, and
that they often have good speakers
there. Who are you, Mr. Gaffney,
or who am I, that we should object
to a womans fulfilling of her hunger
for the aesthetic, the beautiful
things of life? j
And as for your desire for an
honestly Christian university, Jir.
Gaffney, one can always go to Wes-
leyan, you know.

A NEIGHBORLY ACT.
The indorsement by President
Coolidge of the plan to create Octo
ber 12 into a holiday to be observed
in memory of Columbus throughout
North, South and Central America
was a step of diplomacy. The whole
campaign and movement for Colum
bus Day is prompted by a more far-
reaching purpose than the mere cre
ation of another holiday or even the
honoring of America'! discoverer.
The creation of such a day, to be
'celebrated alike throughout the Ame
ricas, would institute the first spe
cial holiday which the United States
has in common with her southern
nicr)irwir and 'jrith them alone It
would establish one more bond of re
UtionshiD between the nations con
cerned and would be a step in the di
rection of Pan-Americanism.
There is no need for Columbus
Day s a were festive o;csion. Hon-
r ki? and can be done to the great
discoverer in other and perhaps even
more impressive ways. Holidays are
alreadv so numerous as to create
iust dissatisfaction from many. But
as a day whose primary result will
be the creation of greeter interna
tional neighborliness the idea of this
new holiday is justified. The future
(trade interests of the United States,
it is maintained by many, center in
South America. Today Europe is
the chosen market f many of the
Latin countries and the United
States purchases products from
across the Atlantic which had their
ririnal source in South America.
Commercial and financial interests
in this country are pleading for more
friendly diplomatic relations with our
logical trade-allies.
Holidays of today which have
have their significance or importance
may be done away with, if need be,
Day as an institution of intern a
Day as a ninstitution of interna-
tonalism should be fostered. The
Michigan Daily.

Dr. Maxey addressed convocation
on '"Effects of the European War on
the United States." He said that the
commerce of the world had increased
2,000 per cent in the past hundred
years, according to The Dally Ne
braskan report, and that United
States commerce would benefit from
the conflict. He thought South
American ports would be opened,
more to the United States. i
"This war," said Dr. Maxey, quotes
The Daily Nebraskan, '"relieves us el
any possible danger of any war f

consequence in un next mi j -It
will give an opportunity for such
a development as will decrease the
danger permanently."

NEED EQUIPMENT.
The need for more adequate
equipment for the women's gymna
sium is long-standing, but for a num
ber iof years no improvement h"
been made. More than half of the
-women in the University have classes
3n the gymnasium at some time in
their college 'Course, yet they have
to drill in a close, lB-ventllated,
poorly-equipped room or play out
side, when the weather permits, on
a public field where they are sub
ject to comment from all kinds 'of
persona. They are forced to stop
their play frequently while pedestri
ans cross their courts. Their field
is Bed for football practice xt odd
-times and the earth 3s torn and Isro-
ten so thct play tm it is difficult.
The equipment which the women
use as often uid equipment discard
ed by the men. Anything f value,
-whether for hockey, soccer, base-
ItfiO ftr 'basketball, has heen bought
y the women thenwelveii.
