Liberal Arts Survive
War, Prosper in Peace
In an article written lor the New York Times magazine
section, James Brvant Conant, president of Harvard univer
sity states: "Personally, I have not the slighest doubt that
the study of liberal arts will not only survive this war but
prosper in the days of peace. I cannot imagine that this re
public could reject the ardition of liberal arts. For the judicious
blending of the study of men and nature is the only sure founda
tion of a free commonwealth."
Survive this war yes; prosper in peacetime yes; pros
per during the war NO!
The traditions of the liberal arts, the "judicious Mending
of the study of men and nature" are the flowers of our democ
racy. From the students of the liberal arts have come America's
great thinkers, writers. A tradition so well founded as the
American desire for knowledge cannot die dining 1 lie war.
liut the liberal arts, tho it may produce philosophers and
writers, does not produce fighters, and it is lighters that the
nation needs in time of war.
And so as long as the war continues, the liberal arts will
survive by a thread, by the study of women, of men not phys
ically fit for the army, of others who even a war cannot keep
from thinking in terms of Plato and Aristotle and Duranty.
Hut they are all few in number. The cream of manhood is in
the army, thinking in terms of Hitler and Uommel and Mae
Arthur. To the continuance of the lib?ral arts may seem "slim dur
ing the war. however, the words of .Mr. Conant are the words
of every educator; the hope of every student: . . . "the study
of liberal arts will not only survive this war but prosper in
the days of peace."'
Battle Reaches Head
The battle which has been waged for the last few days in
the letterip columns of the Daily Xobraskan will come to a
head this Friday when faculty members and home ec students
will get together to iron things out.
As the dispute stands now, misunderstanding on the part
of students concerning the university ruling and ignorance on
the part of the home ec department heads concerning the al
titude of the students seems to be the source of the difficulties.
The meeting Friday, thus, offers an opportunity for dis
agreeing parties to understand and to learn and to "restore
bliss on ag campus."

hardening classes aren't content
with just allowing class averages
to better national standards in en
durance tests they see to it that
every man is above the average.
Tests conducted at the close of
the winter quarter showed that
every man in the classes was
above the national average for
four tests in such activities as the
pullups and situps.
"The boys know what lies
ahead of them and they want to
be in shape for it," is the reason
offered by college officials In ex
plaining the high standards.

If our great and good friend Jim Peterson
of Kansas." he could take care of that col
were not far awav on his "bloody battlefields
umniating. letterripping refugee from a think
ing cap, Have Walcott,, in his own bumbling
way. Hut since Jim is not here, the task of de
fending his humor as best it can be falls to us.
What Jim was trying to suggest in his rather
witty letter of last week is, that editorials such
as Pat Chamberlin 's eold-tomato-soup effort on
the soldier's great sacrifice for civilization get
a fellow so all fired, blushingly embarrassed
that he has to make a few jokes to reassure
himself that he is an imposingly important
saviour of humanity after all. That Jim should
be embarrassed at Miss Chamberlin's editorial,
and should make his few .jokes to reassure him
self that he is still the humble citizen he al
ways 1 bought he was seems to surprise Mr.
Walcott. For his sake we can only hope that
he will be able to understand how Jim felt
when it is his turn to leave, and that good, old
David will not be taken in by all of this
saviour of humanity drivel.
If Miss Chamberlin is standing by. she may,
be wondering what kinds of womenfolk, Jim
and we want to "stay at home,"' if Mr. Wal
cott 's Joans of Are on the Home Front, and
her own tearful yet starry-eyed polishers of
the silver courage displease us. We can not
speak for Jim. but it might help Miss Cham
berlin if we told her of some of the women
folk we ar" going to remember, when we have
been swallowed into the Army. And most of
them would hluh, if they thought, of them
selves as Miss Chamberlin 's heroic home- stay
ers. We are going to remember mother, cooking
oatmeal for ihe rest of the family's 7:150 break
fast : and Miss Chamberlin being her usual
quiet, efficient, serious self; and a certain
young lady who thinks that Itach and Mozart
wrote Ihe best music ever; and another young
lady who preferred swing to either Rach or
'Mozart, and once tiied for fifteen minutes to
teach us how to dance; ami another young
lady who shouts a heart-warming. "Well, hi,
