There were classes in judging
horses, hogs, sheep and cattle.
Individual winners of classes
were: Horses, Willard Visek of

tended and most of those entering
knew that this would be the last
contest for the duration. Contests
of this kind are sponsored for the
purpose of creating interest in
judging and also to give the stu
dents some actual practice that
will be very valuable to them in
later life, whether they choose the
farm or county agent work.

April Alumnus Highlights
Arndt Article, Dental Trip
Highlighting a trip through the
university dental college, an
article on the effects of the na
tional debt by Karl M. Arndt, and
the monthly article by alumni sec
retary Elsworth DuTeau, entitled
"A Different Kind of Education,"
the April edition of the Alumnus
appeared this week.
Moritmer E. Cooley, Dean
Ameritus of the college of en
gineering at the University of
Michigan, commended in a letter
to DuTeau, his March article, "The
Challenge to Higher Education."
Dean Cooly wrote an article en
titled "Problems and Progress,"
in the last Quarterly Review of
the Michigan Alumnus in which
he stressed the importance of a
fundamental cultural background
in addition to technical training.
From this article "A Different
Kind of Education" is taken, j

teach man how to live, to show
him how to get the most out of
life for himself and to give the
most to others. The second part
of education is merely to train
the individual to earn enough
money to carry out the first func
tion." Dean Cooley feels that the pres
ent trend of education toward
purely technical and specialized to
the exclusion of the general is
a grave mistake.
In agreeing with Cooley, Du
Teau states, "Training that is
fundamental to an enlightened
citizenship and leadership, to an
understanding and appreciation of
what a vital and enduring democ
racy requires, and to a peaceful
civilization should be the pre
requisite to highly specialized
training."

Scarlet Fever Strikes
Again-Menthis Time
. . . Sig Eps Gel Red Sign
A new group of followers from
the Sig Ep house have been re
cruited by Scarlet O'Fever and
have pledged themselves to a se
cluded life under the by-laws of
the scourge of the red sign.
Good-bye for a week were the
last words of the Sig Ep lads as
they were sent into confinement
After a pre-quarantine rumor of
what was to come, most of the
boys scattered to quarters outside
of the house. These hopes of
escape were shortlived, however,
when the order came to quarantine
the men wherever they were. With
persuasion and threats most of the
boys have returned, but some are
still at large.
Toker, crap games, extended
sleeping sessions and anything but
studying have already proven to
be favorite pastimes.
