FORREST ESTES
Newt Editor
By the way, Nebraska still has Syracuse to btat. It's going to
be a hard fight and the team can't do it alone. It's going to take all
the enthusiasm and support and fight that the rest of us can muster.
Will we do It?
There is a common term which designates a professor as filling
this or that chair of learning. There was a time when this ex
pression might not have been entirely Inappropriate, if we may use
it in deference to the teaching profession, for the nature of a pro
fesor's work might enable him to grow larger with advancing years.
Nowadays it Is becoming out of place. The average salary paid the
professor wouldn't buy enough food to bring him to chair-filling size.
THE COUNCIL'S DELAY
. More than half a semester has passed with but little accom
plished by the student council. Outside of regulating the price of
admission to class and organization parties, the student governing
body has achieved no definite program. A discussion on placing a
ban on mid-week public dances was brought up by the council and
placed before the university public. Representatives of all "student
organizations took action in the matter and voted to leave one night
free of restrictions. The council has met in regular and special
sessions since that time but no decision has been reached. Mean
while students who elected a student council in the hope of self
government, are not governed at all. The council no doubt means
well. But it is making a grave mistake in failing to take action on
a matter concerning which the student body has decisively indicated
its stand. Surely the council can not hope to gain in the esteem
and confidence of the university public by delaying and postponing
the settlement of an important question.
LEST THE OLD TRADITIONS FAIL
Democracy in the colleges has always been a tender subject with
the editors of our large newspapers, and at regular intervals they
are due to break out in a new controversy over the subject. Such
has bee nthe case with the New York Times last week, led on by an
aiticle in the Harvard Advocate. "There is something admirable,
heroic, yet curiously tinged with melancholy," declares the Times
editorial of October 26, "in the efforts which so many of our colleges
are making to restore the ancient spirit of democracy." While as
a general rule this dictum of the Times may be true, yet we believe
that what Is needed is not so much that the democratic tradition be
restored, but that it be kept vigorous and intact. In the past this
was an easy proposition, for as the Times says, "A century ago our
colleges and our cities alike were small, and .... classmates of
necessity knew each other well.
This matter of knowing one another well has been at the root
of the whole democracy question, and as our colleges grew various
measures were adopted to preserve the unity of the undergraduate
body, at institutions of higher learning. With the coming of recent
years it was believed that college life could be "made to function
only by subdivision and intensive organization" and as a result "at
the opening of the present century many of our universities estab
lished Unions modeled upon Oxford." Yet these supposed strong
holds or democracy have almost entirely failed of their purpose, and
as our own Commons bears witness, "the real leaders of under
graduate life seldom darken their doors, though on occasions they
foregather here admirably and heroically out of a sense of duty to
college democracy." The institution of freshman dormitories has
met with better success, but the "trouble with the freshman dormi
tories is that they are the end-all of tie system. To be at all effec
tive life in residential units has to be continued, as it is at Oxford,
for three or four years."
It is to some such "ancient defect in organization, and not from
any original sin" that the Times concludes must be the shortcom
ings of our colleges in democracy. This theory has been attacked by
TV John Franklin Crowell. formerly president of Trinity College.
Durhi'T. North Carolina, in a letter in last Sunday's Times, who
writes that this conclusion, in his belief "exculpates the undergradu
ate in whose individual attitude I imagine that most, if not half,
of the difficulty lies. How many members of each freshman class at
Dartmouth or Yale-the two colleges which I have attended-ac
tually make i a point of calling upon each and every classmate once
or more a year? How can democracy take deep and firm root where
the soil of ordinary personal sociability is Iacking?"-The Dartmouth.

clared Professor Grumann yesterday
morning as he was announcing tue
program of the band at convocatien.
The next half hour proved conclusive
ly the truth of his statement.
About forty members of the band
assembled in Memorial hall at xi

Mr. Quick played to an appreciative
though small audience. Careful work
was shown by the fine rendition of
the pieces and in the way Mr. Quick
had solved the problem of presenJig
an indoor band concert. The music
was impressive but was well modulat
ed and at no time sounded harsh. The
band gave the following program:
