On Part of Students, Societies
A large rrowd i riprrted to l prt-vnt at lite Honor ctt
vocation in Grant Mnnoriil hall thin evening. Iiuliialioim arei
that many of the parents of iinivorwity m titlonti who have ve-1
reived invitationa will be piinl aome from a ronsiileialile lta i
tatlce.
Dean T. J. Thompson saiil. in commenting upon the eon
voi-ation j-cnterday, that although it was an eiperiment at Ne
braska, the University of Illinois has conducted similar pro
grams with a Rood deal of aueccss. The I'niversity of Ohio also
has an honors day hut not on such an elaborate plan.
Tk rerpense lets ernes dss re
reived from parent of students
ha be very fratlfylng." ssld
ttean Thompson. "A number of
people are coming from a consider
able distance to attend."
The real Idea or the convoea
tion. of course, la to give emphasis
in scholarship attainment on the
psrt of the student and to offset
rhe fact that the 1'nlversliy hss
heeo compelled to drop a number
of snidenn becauaa of poor scholar-
htp."
Committsa Works Hard
Peso Thompson ssld thst
be
hoped the students and their par
en's would be charitable In re
reiving the honora list as published
because the chairman of he com
mittee together with one or two
others hss spent an endless
smauntof time endeavoring to find
a fair snd equitable basis for selec
tion of atudenta for ibe list. The
committee Is composed of Prof.
V. r. Breaks, Dean T. J. Thomp
son. Prof. J. E. Klrsduan, ProC
H. C. illley, and Prof. O. H. Wer

for the Honors convocation is strat
ified to note the rialng tide of stu
dent interest in this event," de
clared Trof. W. C. Brenke. chair
mn of he committee, when inter
viewed yesterdsy. "Tbia interest
hss been freely expressed by in
dividuals and by organisations.
Primary Aim Of Students
"It clesrly indicates the primary
aim of the vast majority of stu
dents in the university and con
Mitutes a most effective refutation
fo the lampoons In the press snd
on the sereen which give to the
public cbleny gross caricatures or
university life."
Winners of acholsrshlp awards
will be announced at the convoca
tion, scordlng to Prof. Brenke, and

nounced yestertls).
Formerly Swedish ws Included
In the depsrtment of Gernisntc Isn
guages. It has been transferred to
the department of Romance lan
guages, although It really ia a Ger
manic language. The rhsnge wss
made because the courses will be

Last Professor at Bethany
Carl Kilandet, who taught Swed
ish here two yesrs previous 10 this

"Any language offered by the
University will rill the foreign lan
guage requirement," Professor Al
exis announced Tuesrtsy, "it does
not matter whether It be Russian,
Slavic, Swedish or French." A be

Any girl who is Interested In
joining the bis sister work, and
who did not receive an invitation,
is urged to sign up as a big sister
immediately, in Miss Appleby's of
fice. Due to an unforeseen short

and to the inaccuracy of a number
of addresses, many girls who

did not receive them, but the over
sight was accidental, and the Big
Sister board is anxious that every

soon as possible, so that she can
attend the Inittstion.

RMA APPLEBY TALKS
AT
Y. Y. Secretary Speaks of
Personal Experiences in
Foreign Land
lrma Appleby, secretary of the
university Y. W. C. A., gave a talk
on her Impressions of India at Ves
pers services held at Ellen Smith
hall Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock.
Miss Appleby spoke from personal
experience as she was one of the
three representatives sent by the
United States to the World Chris
tian Student movement.
India is a land or fascinating and
infinite varieties, according to Miss
Appleby who spent six months
there studying problems of the In
dian people. It is not so much the
linguistic or racial differences that
divide the people of India as differ
ences of religion. The chief reli
gions found in India are, Hindu,
Mohammedan, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain
Christian and Parsee. The native
Christians of India total about 4,
000,000 people.
Many Are Restricted
The restrictions which surround
members of caste are Innumerable.
Each caste may be distinguished by
their dress and religion may also
be determined from their manner
of dress. There are two thousand
different castes In India, and this
accounta for the many political dif
ficulties that arise. At the present
time the chief leader or Indian
politics is Gandhi, an Indian prince.
Unbelievable poverty reigns for
the most, part In India, and the per
capita for each person per year is
J20. Miss Appleby closed her talk
with several sketches of Indian life
and the daily customs of the In
dian people. Ruth Davis, former
president of the Y. W. C. A., led the
meeting for the evening. Vesper
services will be held as usual next
Tuesday eveniug at 5 o'clock and
announcement concerning speaker
will be made later.
