A STUDY IN ATMOSPHERE.
A study of the contrast between
the editorial page of a student daily
published in a nationally known co
educational colle(re located in the
Middle West and the correspondinc
pape of a paper from an equally well
known men's college in New Hamp
shire throws a rather penetrating
lidht on one of the interesting aspects
of coeducation.
The editorials in the publication of
the men's school deal with a wide
range in which social life is rarely,
if ever, included. A new curriculum,
the relation between the curriculum
and extra curriculum activities, the
athletic fortunes of the school, the
literary and artistic activity on the
campus these are the problems the
editorial writer selects for , subjects.
In the newspaper of the coeducation
al college we find that problems of
this nature seem to be overshadowed,
at least a part of the time, by ques
tions which arise from the social life
which results when men and women
attend the same institution. Chaper
ones for parties, how late should par
ties continue, the number of "dates"
a girl should be permitted to have in
a week these are the things on
'which the editor tries his intellectual
teeth.
General conclusions drawn from
specific instances of this kind are
dangerous and should be handled
with extreme caution. It is possible,
nevertheless, to draw from this com
parison a conclusion which would be
extemely distasteful to those who
believe in the efficacy of coeduca
tion. This conclusion would be more
than merely the recognition that the
presence of both men and women cre
ates certain perplexing problems of
student discipline. If the editorial
columns may be taken as an index
of the interests of the students of
the two schools, the obvious con
elusion is that the atmosphere at the
coeducational college is too much
like the atmosphere of the tea-dance
and the country club to be commend
able in an educational institution.

THE DESIRE OF THE MOTH.
These days it is the thing to be
perturbed over Columbia. From re
cent expression of' doubt as to Col
umbia's soulfulncss it is to bo con
cluded that there exisits a certain
dissatisfaction with things as they are
on our Campus. The basis of the
wail appears to be that Columbia is
no Oxford.
The fact is that Oxford and Col
umbia are two' widely variant types,
between which the unsentimental Mr.
Max Becrbohm makes a distinction.
Says Mr. Beerbohn: . "Oxford, that
lotus-land, saps the will-power, the
power of action. But in doing so,
it gives that playful and caressing
suavity of manner which comes of a
conviction that nothing matters, ex
cept ideas, and that not even ideas
are worth dying for. If Oxford could
be transferred to the dry and brac
ing top of some hill, doubtless it
would be more evidently useful to
the nation." Columbia occupies the
summit of this hill.
Our difficulty appears to be that
we desire to he Oxford and yet re
main Columbia; to embrace at once
the hilltop and the suave atmosphere
of the Oxonian valley. While assert
ing our hairy American virility, we
feel we ought to sentimentalize over
romantic traditions. We are an in
teresting union of sensitivity to the
keen shrill urge of exigent reality on
the hilltop, and a craving to be cud
dled in the sentimental vapours of a
valley that is foreign to us. The dis
parity between this cleavage to
worldliness and desire of romantic
antiquity is a comic-tragic situation.
In beautiful unconsciousness of its
surroundings Oxford accepts itself as
a matter of course. Columbia's fault
in our eyes is that it is emphatically
not Oxford. Columbia has, however,
that virility and vibrancy which Mr.
Beerbohn thinks Oxfords lacks. It
would be nice if we could accept
the idea that we are Columbia.
The tradition we have been crying
for is not our own. Oxford cannot
be engrafted on Columbia. If we
need romance why not let it evolve
healthily and of itself? It cannot be
imported. Even yellow slickers are
apt to be pathetic.
Voltaire's advice in Candide is
strictly applicable to us: "Let us
cultivate our own garden." And it
will prosper mightily. The Colum
bia Spectator.
their worn-out condition, and their
identity with puerility.
Just to take a few phases from a
short speech of one of these Burkes
is to give the essence, of their disabil
ities. This speaker urges his audi
ence to watch closely the mechanics
of their "moral railway system," to
pull up the "slack rope" of their life,
to look to the "slackor's sins" within
themselves, to cast out the "poor
tools which they -work with," "to
shoulder ho job." These improve
ments must be made or man will go
to ruin "as surely as the sun shines."
Man must find delight in work even
"as an athlete delights in a hard
game," so that he may "handle big
ger and bigger jobs of work."
Herein we have the modern road
to Utopia as mapped out by the pres
ent day weak orator. If only those
speakers, who have some degree of
light, would take more intelligence
for granted in their audiences, and
would then, attempt to raise their
audiences to their own level rather
than make a silly attempt to get
down to the supposed level of their
hearers, there would result positive
strides toward the reign of "sweet
ness and light." The Dartmouth.

SMOKING ON THE CAMPUS.
The habit many students have of
congregating around the entrances to
buildings and smoking between
classes is one which has frequently
brought down censure on the offen
ders' heads. Aside from the fact that
it is a positive breach of good man
ners to block the way for those who
are attempting to enter or leave the
building, this practice involves a
point of political ethics.
There is a rule against smoking on
the campus. Irrespective of the in
dividual's convictions on the matter
of smoking, he is bound by the stand
ards of good citizenship to obey this
rule. A discussion of the merits of
the rule will not serve as an excuse
for breaking it The student may
criticize it and condemn it but as
long as the rule exists it should be
obeyed.
Announcement has been made of
the establishment of another founda
tion fund to create scholarships for
advanced study in Europe. Simon
Guggenheim has contributed three
million dollars to a purpose to which
an increasing number of educational
institutions and associations are de
voting funds. Aside from the aca
demic excellence of the European
universities, which is of immeasur
able value to students who are
awarded scholarships, ' the greatest
possibility in this exchange of stu
dents lies in the hope that it will, in'
the future, further friendly relations
and understanding between nations.
Men who have studied together, even
though they be citizens of different
countries, are, not inclined to be
turned against each other by the pro
fessional jingoists and the sensational
newspapers.
THE WHIRLIGIG OF TIME.
Day and night, summer and win
ter, months, years, centuries the
striking of the clock, the running of
the sand, the shadow on the dial all
mark the passage of elusive time
the most important thing in human
life. No one has enough time but a
prudent man can seize as much as he
wants. Prevalent on the campus of
today, however, is the constant ex
cuse for work undone I didn't have
time.
At Mt. Holyoke College recently,
the class in statistics was curious as
to just how college students spend
their time. To one-half of the stu
dent body, selected at random, sched
ules containing all possible activities
were distributed.
The ordinary student, it was dis
covered, gives about five and a half
hours a day to academic work, sched
uled appointments and preparation
for classes. She spends forty min
utes in chapel or other religious serv
ices, exercises for an hour and twen
ty minutes, spends an hour and a
half at meals and sleeps a little more
than eight hours a day and has the
rest of the day, six and a half hours
to use as she likes. Syracuse Daily

DOWN TO PRACTICALITIES.
The rage of the scholar to show
the practicalities of his learning to
those of lesser education has sadly
influenced the once efective art of
oratory. No longer do we have our
finest speeches in Latin, or, indeed,
even in good English. Our circuit
lecturers, our chautauqua speakers
and our chapel pulpit frequenters,
have taken on the weak loquacious
ness of the Boy Scout troopmaster.
This movement on the surface of
oratory is marked by an attempt to
be graphic, to put present advertis
ing methods into speech making. And
it fails utterly. The most didactic of
talks takes on the air of kindergarten
warning, and the most objective of
addresses assumes the visage of prop
aganda. Triteness reigns throughout
the vocabulary of these orators, and
stupid metaphors are disseminated as
a cloak for truth. It is of no purpose
to show that the metaphores and sim
iles of these speakers constitute vi
cious circles, as the logicians would
state. It is sufficient to .point out
their complete lack of imagination,
