IRISH ECONOMY.
There is an old story about a certain Irishman who. in order to
lengthen the quilt on his bed. cut off a strip from the bottom end
and sewed it on the other end.
This is about the idea of econony that some University students
have this year. The overflow in the library shows the results of this
economy. Some students, back in some of their work, cut a class
fine day to write a paper for another, and then have to cut that class
to make up for the one missed before. Some begin to worry about
ihfir possibilities of passing their work, so they spend much time
consulting the professors to get a good "stand in" and ihen neglect,
as usual, their books. Or they stay up until the wee .-mall hours of
th morning to write back papers and then oversleep their eight and
nine o'clock classes.
Only two more weeks of grace and then t he final reckoning. As
gloomy forebodings, notices of past incompletes, failures and an over
abundance of skips have gone out from the executive office. And
how difficult it is to make up work the task bears really a double
weight, that of the feeling of compulsion couplefl with the lack of
interest in old subject matter. Of course it never pays to neglect
work, but after all. everyone does, we guess. If only a system might
be invented to either do away with all papers or else everything else
but papers so that we might at least get one or the other. But we
have to make our New Year's resolutions over every semester - and
then we usually cut the wrong end off the quill.
HONOR TO WHOM IT IS DUE.
It was nearly two thousand years ago that a certain Wise Man
remarked that a prophet was not without honor save in his own
country. It is Interesting to observe how college students serve as
an illustration of the truth of the statement.
There are men on every campus, faculty members, who daily con
duct classes, advise with students, bear with slackers, and teach the
few who desire to learn, who everywhere save in their own college
are honored.
There are men leaching in DePauw who have national reputations
as scholars, who are admired and looked up to by hundreds upon hun
dreds of educational leaders. There are teachers here to whom
scores and scores of DePauw graduates owe their successes in life.
Many of the faculty members in the University could command large
salaries and achieve much honor if only they would quit trying to
lead young men and women Into paths of knowledge when those
young people often seemingly do all they can to hinder the leader.
And yet it is seldom that students realize the worth of their
faculty friends until they have become alumni or ex-students. Even
then It often takes years for the realization to come.
College student are frequently said to be blind to the better and
higher things of life. This inability to appreciate the sacrifice and
the help which their faculties are making and giving to them seems
to bear out this assertion.
It is the student who is able to see in a small way. at least, the
bigness of many of the men who are his teachers who will also be
able to realize the best opportunity of college life. DePauw Daily.
