"DEAR ME, MR. DeMILLE, DEAR ME!
After seeing "The Ten Commandments" we wonder why the estimable
Mr. DeMille should build a picture around the Holv Laws nnd then nuniah
the leading1 character for violating one of the commoner laws of physics.
We refer to the building with the unsubstantial walls.
We also object to Mr. DeMille's depiction of God as a pyrotechnic
display. . . .
The irrational conduct of the hero, who starts to flee for Mexico with
out a coat in a tiny motor boat is worthy of note. We insist in real life that
he would have donned a topcoat, cashed a check, and caught the 12:45 for
El Paso. Once there he would have crossed the border, opened a gambling
house, become wealthy, later returning to New Mexico, where he would
probably have been elected United States Senator. ; t . After that the
Secretaryship of the Interior. . . .
As for the leper woman. ... the moral seems to be that one may
sometimes evade the U. S. Customs officials, but one cannot evade God.

THE LOST UNIVERSITY.
The story of the lost University of Peudesavants grows increasingly
more interesting as the records are more carefully and exhaustively ex
amined. The records are not complete and many of them are unreadable.
The most easily read treat of the few years which we have already dis
cussed in two articles and which we have characterized as the period of
unrest following great international crime. We cannot, for obvious rea
sons, construct a synthesis which will follow a central theme or a chrono
logical order, but we submit frm week to week the more interesting local
aspects of the situation. We find outstanding in this week's research a
very interesting administrative tangle.
MORE OP THE RECORDS.
"The administration saw fit to permit the unusual development which
was characteristic of contemporary institutions. The aim seemed to be to
increase the physical equipment, and number of students (with a necessary
lowering of the admission standards) as well as to attract more students
and strengthen the name of the school with an increased number of social
and athletic attractions.
"Not only was the University 'sold to prospective students, but, once
started, the numerical increase has to continue to satisfy the political as
semblies and the Board of Governors of the institution. That is to say,
these detached bodies, in whose hands rested the pocketbook,' soon ac
quired the habit of looking at the records of students enrolled, students in
the various classes, and the number of hours each instructor devoted to
classroom instruction. Since appropriations depended upon a good showing
in the statistical records, instructors were required in self preservation
to offer courses which would attract large numbers of students and to
allow their study and research to lag. The tendency was for courses to be
come easy marks unless they were planned to attract numbers. So it was
that numbers counted toward the getting of appropriations.
"To help in coaxing the assembly to make the desired appropriations,
several means were used. The strong alumni machine was always directed
in this effort, and the honorary organization for the men of the higher
classes was put in a position between the association of alumni and the con
trolling element of the faculty as well as some of their own alumni all in
the effort to make the income come in for the building of a larger physical
equipment and a greater student body."
At this point the records are unreadable because of the age of the man
uscripts all the sadder because of the necessity for a knowldege of history
in the interpretation of such events in modern conditions of University ad
ministration.

IN PRAISE OF A BELL.
M
Poets have written in praise of bells and bells, even to the1 war-poet
who made "the bells of hell go ting-a-ling-a-ling, for you, but not for me,"
but no poet, so far as I know, has ever written in praise of the one which
rings ten minutes before the hour. I feel that this subject is worthy, too,
and submit the following:
ODE
To the Ten-Minute Bell.
Thou art my love, my heart's desire;
I thrill in ecstacy
Whene'er ' hear thy ringing voice;
(Do you suppose he'll call on me?)
The minutes drag like halting years
Until I hear thee call;
Thou'rt late! (And if I have to read,
All I can do is stall!)
Come, Bell, sweet Bell, my dearest love!
(Why won't that darned thing ring?)
"Ahem! What line, please, do I start?" . . .
At last! That blessed brrrring!

UNIVERSITY OF X STUDY COURSE.
A group of methods courses in the art of studying has been outlined
for the University of X in response to a universal demand from interested
students from other schools who seek admission to the new institution.
For the benefit of prospective freshmen, an outline of admission require
ments and the preliminary intelligence test will be printed in this space
next weeks
The art of study is a difficult one, and it is thought that the following
courses will eprepare the student in the proper approach to the various
courses that are to comprise the curriculum of the nw institution:

Worth looking into
IT'S the most interesting study in the world.
What is? Why you, yourself.
Put yourself under the microscope. Examine
yourself most searchingly to find out just what
kind of work you have a natural aptitude for.
Don't leave your career to chance. Don't be
satisfied with any nonchalant observation of
what may seem to be your best field.
Upperclassmen who have applied this careful
self-study will tell you it helped them pick out
the "major" which fell in most closely with
their natural fitness. The result greater in
terest and greater profit through their whole
college course.
Graduates will tell you that the man who
turns the microscope on himself is happiest in
his choice of a life-work.
It comes down to this some patient analysis
now may be the means of putting you on the
right track for the rest of your life.
