THE 1918 SUMMER SESSION
University authorities have ar
ranged for the summer session of the
University to offer special work which
will help fill demands created by the
war. The University has done its
part. It has made possible courses
that will directly help in the winning
of the war. What will be accomplished
depends on the students.
We who know of these courses per
haps can help a little if we tell our
friends in our home towns or com
munities just what the University is
offering1. We will know people who
expect to spend the summer at home,
not accomplishing anything in par
ticular. If it were suggested to them
that they spend eight weeks of their
vacation at the University studying
intensively subjects that the govern
ment feels its people ought to know,
they possibly might come to school.
Smith College Monthly prints a re
markable article by a freshman on
"How the War Has Affected Me." -
"I am in college today because he
United States entered the war," she
says. "Before that I had refused to
consider seriously the prospect of four
years spent in self-improvement. It
seemed a selfish answer indeed to the
cry of blood-sodden Europe I hoped
to make mine a nobler response.
"And then the inevitable occurred
America awoke from her shameful .
lethargy, and stretched her strong
young arms across the sea. That
acted on my confused brain as some
chemical reagents do on a milky solu
tionall cleared before my vision ; ,
I saw things in their true, perspective.
I watched the boys marching off to a
sterner school. I learned to put by
sentimentality and tears. I saw that
I had been spared for a sterner task.
There must be those left behind to
build houses and till fields, to dream
of dawns and sunsets and sing of
happier things. The period of recon
struction after the war is over is to
be a mighty task, and the responsi
bility rests, in large part, upon our
individual shoulders.
"So I have come to college, not
knowirg what share of the task may
be mine, but confident that the more
liberally educated I am, the more
thoroughly in sympathy with the high
est ideals of men, living and dead, the
more able I shall be to do my part
well.
"Moreover I am happier now in the
face of calamity than I was in days
of peace, for I have found that sor
row does not touch one's life singly
or narrowly, but throws one into touch
with the world-current of progress."
The Associated of Collegiate
Alumnae through its committee on
vocational opportunities for women
is placing college women in war work
positions. The association is doing
what it can to get for women, who
take positions left vacant by men, a
wage equal to what the men received.
Florence Jackson, A. C. A. voca
tional chairman, reports that Chicago
is "keenly alive to the problem of se
curing equal pay for equal work and
feels tLat the first point of attack
should be In the education of the
women themselves not to accept a
lower wage than men would receive in
the same position."
Miss Jackson adds. "There is a ten
dency in some places, including some
educational institutions, to fill the
places left vacant by men, by women
at a lower salary. While we realize
the justice of unequal pay for nnequal
work (the work may requir ap
prenticeship period) we must demand
Teachers' College Students
Present Three-Act Comedy
The elecutlon class of the Teachers'
College High school presented "Aaron
Boggs, Freshmen," a clever three-act
comedy at the Temple theatre. Thurs
day evening, February 28, before a
falr-slzcd audience.
The trials and hardships of college
life to the freshmen and the delight
some upperclassmen take in playing
tricky pranks on newcomers were
clearly protrayed by th- gd work
of the players.
Bernice Dunn of the University and
Miss S. A. Byan coached the play
which was a preliminary to the senior
play to be given later. Miss Jeanette
C. Nelson and Genevieve Calkins ac
companied with the music.

Vespers Speaker Makes
Stern Appeal to Women
Miss Ida Ahrens, instructor of home
economics, spoke at Vespers Tuesday
at 5 o'clock in the Y. W. C. A. rooms
in the Temple. Genevieve Bechter
presided. Eliza Gamble and Ruth
Leech sang a duet.
"We don't take time to think out
things," said Miss Ahrens, "We are
lukewarm when we ought to be stauch
and true." "Loyalty," she asserted,
"mut be substituted for lukewarmness.
Jealousy, envy and discontent must
be let go and neighborliness, kind
heartedness, sincerety and faithfulness
substituted.
"We must also have faith in other
people. Our mother and father de
serves our true loyalty. They have
dreams of our future which we must
live up to. We must finish our course
in the University if possible. Then we
will be better able to serve our coun
try when our chance comes."
The speaker dwelt on other ways
of service for one's country as also
for one's own interest. The talk
indicated the necessity of women as
well as men taking an active part in
carrying on the war and preparing
also for the needs to be met after
the war.

ernment work.
The alumnae house was at one time

garden which will be used by the
women as a war garden.

Who Can?
Pmf nf Economics: If the supply
of diamonds were increased to the
extent that prices would be dropped,
would there be more engagements?
Woman student: No, sir.
Professor: Don't you think that
fellows who could not
now afford to buy a diamond at two
nr thrPA hundred dollars would buy if
the price were appreciably lowered
and so become engaged?
Woman Student: That is all true,
but the number would be offset by
those young women who now become
engaged merely to get a diamond and
who would not do so if they were
cheap. Ex.
