Survey Indicates Value of
Extra -Curricular
Activities.
In a survey of extra-curricular
activities at the University of Min
nesota, taken by Professor F. Stu
art Chapin, professor of sociology
at that institution, it was found
that, on an average, the students
who participated in activities
ehowed a higher academic achieve
ment than those not participating
In activities
Mr. Chapin published the results
of his extensive survey, involving
questionnaires sent to students and
alumni and a review of campus
activities since 1887. in the form
of a book entitled, "Extra-Curricu-
lar Activities at the University of
Minnesota." The purpose of the
study was to describe the social
and "educational aspects of extra
curricular activities of students at
that institution.
Higher Averages
The author of the survey was
Interested in the scholastic aspect
of participation in activities and
investigated with several groups
of students. He examined students
not participating in any activities,
those in two or three campus ac
tivities, and those in five or more
activities. The results of the survey
Bhowed that the last named group
of .students had the best scholastic
record of the three.
In commenting on the relation
ship between activities and schol
arship, Mr. Chapin pointed out that
there was a steady but slight gam
in the honor-point ratio from the
inactive to the medium active to
the most active men and women
engaged in student activities.
After summarizing the figures
collected on the scholastic aspect
r of participation in extra-curricular
activities, the author makes the
following statement: "All these
facts seem to indicate that stu
dents may engage in several cam
pus activities without too great a
sacrifice to academic achievement.
The further inference is indicated
that it is probably students of
higher intelligence who are at the
same time those who are good stu
dents and leaders in campus af
fairs." Women More Active.
The result of the survey showed
that upperclassmen were more
active than underclassmen, and
women were, in general, more ac
tive than men students. It was
also revealed that the period of
greatest concentration of activity
was in the senior year.
The data gathered on the cases
of 904 student officers and 1,170
committee members and officers
were analyzed to ascertain roughly
the relationship between the ex
tensive character and the intensive
character of student leadership, to
find out whether student leaders
spread their energies out thin over
many activities, or whether they
I- concentrate intensively on a few.
Taking as a rough measure the
cxtensiveness the number of dif
ferent activities in which a student
participated concurrently, the sur

Attempt Made to Discover
, Encyclopedia Clipper
Monday.
SEARCH TERM PAPERS
Search for the person who cut
sections from two volumes of the
Encyclopedia Brittanica is being
continued, according to library of
ficials interviewed yesterday. At
tempts are being made to trace
the identity of the clipper by
checking all term papers written
on the subject of lawn tennis, as
it is sections on this subject which
were cut from the encyclopedia.
The vandalism was discovered
Friday morning when Prof. E. F.
Schramm of the geology depart

searching was discovered missing,
having been on the back of the
clipped tennis articles.
Gilbert Doane, librarian, estim

plete new volumes will have to be
purchased to replace the two from
which the articles were clipped.
Three pages were ripped from the
eleventh volume, and in the four

pages were neatly cut out, prob

ACTIVITIES VALUE

On Topic; Observer

HAZARDS SCHOOL WORK
Over-Emphasis Is 0 I, t
Danger in Activities
To Collegian.
BY THE OBSERVER.
Campus activities have been
subject to a searching analysis by
both their critics and advocates
during the past few weeks. One
group maintains that they are use
less, detrimental to study, and of
only "transcendental' value. Con
versely the other side declares that
activities are valuable as a sup
plement to classroom instruction
and that they furnish valuable ex
perience for later pursuits.
In a sense both groups are right.
Certain arguments presented by
both schools of thought are highly
valid. Other of their points are
just as highly fallacious. Speaking
introspectively, here is the Ob
server's viewpoint.
Sacrifice Grades.
One or two activities in which a
student is interested from a pro
fessional angle are useful if con
sidered as an end in themselves.
The great danger lies in the fact
that so many hazard their scholas
tic standing by entering into extra
curricular activities on a wholesale
scale. Students who belong to this
class do net care particularly what
the activity is just so it's an "ac
tivity." It is only when considered
from this angle that the Observer
believes activities can be criticized.
No one will deny that activities
render valuable experience in
"making contacts." Nor will any
one deny that this ability is not ab
solutely necessary to attain the
highest degree of success in later
life. The cultivation of this partic
ular ability lies almost exclusively

Sixty-Nine Men Enroll
Annual Farm Operator
Classes.
in
Sixty-nine Nebraska farm boys
are enrolled in the annual farm
operator's short course which
opened at the college of agricul
ture recently, according to an an
nouncement of registration figures
given out by H. K. Douthit, short
course supervisor, today.
Economic conditions nave cue
the enrollment in the course some
what under the total of last year.
Ninety boys were registered for
the course last year. Many men
who desire to enroll in the course
were forced to stay at home for
the first semester because or 11
nancial conditions. Douthit, how
ever, believes the enrollment may
be boosted when the second sem
ester opens late in January.
Designed to meet the needs or
farm boys who find it impossible
to attend a regular course, the
farm operator's course at the col
lege gives practical instruction in
farm management, college lacuiiy
members act as instructors in
practically all of the divisions of
study.
The fact that the course is
scheduled during the winter
months when general farm work
is slack, has made it popular for
most Nebraska farm boys. The
course is divided into two years
and the graduates get certificates
from the college of agriculture.
