A LESSON IN SCHOLARSHIP
The Halner scholarship cup Is to be awarded at convocation
today. The cup goes every year to the Qreek letter fraterniry mak
ing the highest scholarship average for the preceding rar. The
possession of the cup is a much coveted honor. As a whole, last year's
scholarship took a decided drop. With the return of many of the
older men and the re-establishment of normal conditions, improve
ment along this line will doubtless come. The unsettled state of
affairs during the S. A. T. C. period and the dropping out of school
of a number of men before the semester's work was endtd played
havoc with scholarship .landings last .year.
Today is' the time to make a resolution looking toward the im
provement of scholarship in the university. We no longer have the
excuses of the last two years to fall back upon. Don't be afraid of
becoming a grind. As long as you have one interest outside of your
books, you are not liable to become a grind. That one hobby will
take you away from study sufficiently to prevent your giving lessens
too much attention. Don't forget that "the world makes way for the
man who knows." Look about among your friends. Don't you have
more respect for the one who has brains and uses them now and
then than for the one who is light and butterfly -like? We came here
primarily for study, though sometimes many of us seem to have for
gotten it. The mistake is frequently made of thinking that the per
ton who makes good grades never sees outside of his books and is
uncompanionable and narrow. Often it is the case that the best
students, as -far as scholarship is concerned, are also leaders in all
forms of campus activities as well as social activities, and are de
lightful, all-around people.
RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS AND AMERICAN SCOLARS
The entry of the United States into the Great War led to the
temporary suspension of elections to the Rhodes Scholarships
throughout the Union. The same thing happened in all the many
communities of the British Empire to which they 'are assigned. The
conditions of age and physical fitness imposed on candidates for the
Scholarships corresponding so closely with those laid down for mili
tary service in the draft law of the United States, the con&tription
law of Canada, and the military requirements of all the dominions
and colonies, that there was practically no alternative to this policy
of postponement.
It was enforced by other considerations. Out of the student,
population of Oxford, normally numbering about 3500, only two or
three hundred remained in residence. These included freshmen wait
ing till they were of military age, medical students, who were ex
cluded from military service, Indian students', foreigners driven out
of the small countries overrun by Germany, and the physically unfit.
The colleges had become billets for young soldiers in training; the
examination schools, hospitals; the parks and playing-fields, places
for exercise in infantry drill, bomb-throwing, trench-digging, wiring,
Bignalins and all the other varieties of military preparation. A large
School of Aeronautics! brought hundreds of cadets to study the
scientific side of their new business. In such an atmosphere there
was little room for the intellectual and social intercourse which the
Scholarships were intended to provide. Besides all this, the trustees
felt that it would be most unfair to carry on the elections at a time
when the most patriotic and promising candidates had, as a rule,
debarred themselves from competition by taking military service in
their respective countries. Their policy indeed will be, when the
elections axe resumed, to give the preference, other thgs being
equal, to candidates who have shown their high 6ense of citizenship
in this way. But the elections were only postponed. Now that the
war is over and demobilization is under way, the Scholarships' due
to each state will be filled as rapidly as suitable candidates can be
found, or as Oxford can absorb the flood of students whk-n will now
be pouring back into her halls.
Elections for 1918 and 1K19 will be held during tlit autumn of
the present year, those for 1920 and 1921 in the autur.n of 1920,
after which they will resume their nomal course, when thirty-two
states' will elect each year.
What is the type of man, we may now ask, who can. in America,
with the most advantage to himself, take a Rhodes Scholarship, or
can with the fullest confidence be advised to make it an object of his
ambition? Certainly, first of all, he should be one who ;s eager to
get what Oxford has to give in mental training or other preparation
for the work of life. What this is can be pretty clearly defined. If
on the intellectual side a student's inclination is' toward the human
ities, toward Classical or English literature, philosophy, history,
political science, theology, or jurisprudence, he will find at Oxford
opportunities and an atmosphere as favorable for good work as in
any centre of education on earth; and should he aim at winning dis
. tinction among his fellow students in these lines of study, he will
assuredly there find himself subjected to tests and competition which
will tax all his powers, $f his turn is for mathematics or medicine,
natural or applied science, modern or Oriental, languages, geography,
forestry, and similar lines of special study, he can depend upon re
ceiving in these also a quite adequate training, and on meeting with
abundant competition, even though Oxford does not claim to offer
superlative advantages in some of these subjects, and has not the
same completeness of equipment or fullness of opportunity which
may be found in other highly seclalized centres of training.
If, once more, his aim is chiefly that broad culture which comes
from general study and observation, from mingling with men of
various types, from living in a highly intellectual atmosphere, amid
inspiring traditions of great men and great movements, in easy touch
with the greatest libraries and galleries of art known in the world
all this is open to an energetic Oxford student who uses' judiciously
both terms . and vacations to enlarge his experience and cultivate
his mind. The opportunities are of a kind that Scholars drawn from
newer countries cannot expert to find in their own lands. Personal
temperament and purpose in life will determine the value attached
to them. George Herbert Parker in the Atlantic Monthly.

John Pickett, On Mound for Lin
coln Wednesday Against
St. Paul
John Pickett, who pitched the Sig
Ep team to victory in the inter-fra-
tin'.y baseball tournam-n: last
spring, tossed enght innings ainst
the St. Paul American Association
club, winners of the pennant in that
ireet park. Pickett did the huiiin
for the Lincoln all-star team selected
Charle Moon. The Saints had
no trouble in winning the party, 15
0, in fact, they had a jolly good
ime doing it but John stuck to his
job to the end.
Fourteen safe bingles were gath
ered off his delivery and seven
counters were made in the fifth, but
when it is considered that Pickett
as matching skill with the pennant
inners of the American Association
ho are on their way to play Los
Angeles, title holders of the Pacific
Coast League, for the class AA
championship of the United States,
it must be conceded that it wasn't
so bad a performance for a univer
sity athlete.
Pickett's team-mates made lour
oozles back of him while the support
of Williams, the Saint hurler, was
awless. Pickett donated eight bases
on balls to one by Williams but
hey broke even on the strike out
record with five each to their credit.
The score:
Lincoln ....0 0000000 0 3 4
St. Paul ....0 2 0 1 7 2 1 215 14 0

SOME GOOD ADVICE
acquainted,' to be in close touch
mith their professors in the engineer
ing college which they felt would be
highly beneficial to both, students and
professors.

"Monad," the publication of the
American Society of Engineers, the
meeting was adjourned.
The fees for membership in the

Every engineering student is expect

college and his profession. On ac
count of the short notice, many of j
the engineering students !id not at-!
tend the meeting, and it is. hoped
