Dates, necking, booze, shows,
cramming to get by, and kindred
subjects provide the chief material
if one should call it that. Given as
for most student's conversation
much attention as they deserve, dis
cussion on these topics would be
valuable; but to devote hours to
them is hardly wise. Few things are
not worth discussing, but no class of
subjects is so important as to be
one of th most successful In sever

ence of the exhibit and the question
of financial results. The total re
ceipts of the year were about
$1,400.

THE CHRISTMAS GRADUATE
(McCill Daily)
"Read 'em and weep," that fa
mous motto of African Golf does
not always hold true for other things.
In fact around University we "read
'em and laugh" at exams.
From the time we enter Univer
sity until we graduate we are con
tinually being told to read certain
books and articles. Any professor
will tell you that very little attention
is paid to these requests
At the opening of the term there
is always a period of restlessness.
Students find it hard to settle down
to any course of study, instead they
are drawn into outside activities
which have no definite connection
with their scholastic work and as a
result their studies suffer.
In past years there has always
been a large number of Christmas
graduates' the majority of whom are
from the freshman year. Most of
these students attribute their fail-,
ure to participation in outside aetiv-j
ities, both athletic and social, but i
after due consideration one is forced j
to the conclusion that there are other
more serious causes. I nose wno are
asked to leave at Christmas are not
usually the ones who nre taking the
greatest part in legitimate organi
zations around the campus but
rather the ones who neglect their
work because of a lack of serious
ness on their part, because of. too
great an interest in trivialities. It
is a noteworthy fact that the ones
who take a prominent part in legiti
mate University activities are sel
dom failures in their academic work.
Many of these are away from pa
rental discipline for the first time
in their lives and do not know how
to use their unaccustomed freedom.
Also coming as they do from High
Schools or Cblleges where they have
been spoon fed, and forced to do
their work under threat of punish
ment, they fail to consider that at
University it rests with themselves
to get the most out of the time at
their disposal.
Sir Arthur Currio, speaking at the
Dentistry banquet last year, told his
hearers that one of the most diffi
cult problems to solve was that of
the Christmas graduate. Often he
said the student passed his matricu
lation examinations with very high
marks but fell so low in his term test
that the University was not warrant
ed in keeping him on. It was diffi
cult to know what to do in such a
case, the student could not be sent
home with a note to his parents that
he was only fit for digging ditches.
Mnnv Imnortant Changes in
University During Past Year
Building operations during the
year included the completion of final
work on the stadium and the begin
ning of work on the new field house.
This structure, which will be com
pleted this month, will house the fu
