TERRIFYING THE PREP SCHOOLS
A movinjj picture .film of "Col
umbia Today" was presented laBt
week to a Pittsburgh audience which
Included over a thousand prep school
students. Obviously it was intonded
as a means of interesting: them in
Columbia, but before it ended it
caused disrespectful snickers and
Publl.hed Tueeday. Wedne.d.y. Thurad.y. ' guf faWS to Sweep through the house
President Butler was shown an
swering the phone: Secretary Fack
enthal was shown answering the
phone ; Professor Coss was shown an-
swering the phone. Chaplain Knox
smiled, doffed his hat, said hello to
the movie man. Brander Matthews
walked solemnly through his Drama'
tic Museum; Professor Chnndler of
the Chemistry Department held test
tubes in . his hand and drew hiero
e-lvDhics on the blackboard. The
School of Business Library, that bee
hive of culture was shown; the
smokestacks of University Hall were
shown; and as a crowning touch the
Statistics Laboratory was seen in
full blast as if any Statistics Lab
oratory could interest high-school
boys!
Thus the terrifying, machine-like
aspect of Columbia University were
emphasized; the warm, genial, glam
orous aspects of college life were
slighted. If this film is intended for
the Columbiana collection, it will un
doubtedly be valuable as a record;
but if it is to be of any interest to
high school students, there must be
a few drastic cuts and there must
also be pictures which will show Col
umbia undergraduate life in all its
richness and varied activity.

SPORTSMANSHIP AND DISCUS
SION. The battle over the question of
whether evolution should be taught
in colleges, although it is settled in
most of the larger educational insti
tutions of the country, still goes on in
some of the sectarian schools. At
Missouri Wesleyan college a professor
of philosophy and biblical literature
was discharged because his interpre
tation of the Bible was too liberal for
the tast of the board of trustees. The
students of the college almost unani
mously pased a resolution calling on
the board to reinstate the instructor.
Tis attitude is not one which neces
sarily indicates that the students are
firm believers in evolution and mod
ernism. The fundamental issue at
stake in a case of this kind is not the i
validity of the doctrines which were
being propounded, but whether or not
the students of the college were to be
permitted to hear both sides of the
question.
It is probable that the judgment of
the students was based on a code
which is neither pretentious nor re
moved from the ordinary course of
human affairs. One need not be a
philosopher or a metaphysician to
hold a definite, and, for that matter,
valid opinion on this subject. The
ordinary standards of sportsmanship
recognize the justice of allowing each
party to a discussion to present its
arguments.
Twenty Years Ago
The Board of Regents adopted a
complete set of regulations to gov

making any cadet liable to dismissal
from the University) who "begins,

regulations also authorized the re

COLUMBIA, Mo., February 26.
The University of Missouri track
team is for the present without the
services of Aubrey Pittinger, star
miler who was declared ineligible by
Missouri Valley authorities.
The extent of Pittinger's ineligi
bility is not known; whether he will
get into the meets later in the season
has not been determined.
The Tiger star was last year's
captain and holds the record in the
mile at Missouri-Kansas meets. He
won the special 1000-yard run at the
Illinois Relays last year, and easily
defeated the field in the Shannon
Douglas Cup rn in the recent K. C.

Representative Monte Munn
cusses Legislature' Work.
Dig.
"Everyone knows what I am here
in the legislature for," said Monte L.
Munn state representative of the
Thirty-fifth district at a meeting of
the Junior League of Women Voters.
"I'm here to get the education tax
through for the University. I'm los
ing time and money but if this bill
goes through I shall feel that I have
paid back only a little of that which
I have taken."
Mr. Munn declared that work in
the legislature was entirely different
than he had supposed. The hours,
instead of being a few in the morn
ing and from two to three in the
afternoon, are anything but that.
The real legislating is done in the
special committees and in social dis
cussion groups in the evening.
"That's the difficulty with the wo
men in the legislature," , said Mr.
Munn. "They can't legislate to the
best of their ability because they

A DEAN OF DOGS.
It should be marked that although
Nebraska is a coeducational school it
is not afflicted with all the perplex
ing problems which descend on other
campuses even those on which there
are men only. In a recent number of
a newspaper from a men's college in
New England there is a rather lengthy
editorial asking the students to stop
their practice of bringing their dogs
with them when they attend a series
of lectures being given on the cam
pus. Whether the practice is due to
a natural fondness on the part of
the students for canine eompany, or
whether it is due to a lack of com
panionship of other kinds, is diffi
cult to say. In any event it creates
a new problem for the administra
tive officials to tussle with. A dean
of Dogs to formulate and enforce
rules for canine discipline may be
the solution.
FRATERNITY SCHOLARSHIP
In discussion of fraternity scholar
ship, emphasis is always placed on
the possibility of raising the stand
ards of group competition and group
ratings, and in many institutions,
group penalties have been designed.
It is curious that the premise from
which this work is done is rarely
examined. If such an analysis were
made it would disclqse one fact
which is usually ignored. That fact
is that scholarship is something
which depends primarily on the in
terest of the individual. He must
have an urge for academic work and
an eagerness for intellecual endea
, vor.
It is debatable whether this inter
est cannot be best created by work
ing on the individual rather than on
the organization. If he can be in
fluenced to take interest in his work,
the academic standards of the group
to which he belongs will automa
tically rise. There is some justifi
cation for the feeling that much of
the effort now expended on the
groups would be advantageously em
ployed in working on the members.
If sufficient attention was given to
the individual student, it is reasona
ble to expect that it would not be
necessary to devote any to the or-'
ganization.

Ten Years Ago
Charles Edwin Bessey, Ph. D., LL.
D., head dean of the University of
Nebraska, one of the foremost bot
anists of the world, and a writer and
thinker of international reputation,
passed away at his home in Lincoln
following an attack of heart trouble
three weeks before.
Coincident with his birthday on
the twenty-first of May then to fol
low, the cornerstone of Bessey hall,
named in his honor, was to have been
laid to do honor to his attainment
during thirty and one-half years of
service for the University. He once
declined the chancellorship, prefer
ring his work in the botany depart
ment, where he gave himself to his
studies and to the writing of books
and articles which brought him in
ternational fame. His brilliant rise
to eminence among scientific men
culminated in 1910-1911, with his
election to the presidency of the
American Association for the Ad
vancement of Science.
A meeting in support of a move
ment to organize an Athletic Asso
ciation for University women was
largely attended and the plan well
received.

TF you are a good soldier, you take orders from
the major. But there is a great deal of differ
ence whether you find the training an irksome
routine or an enjoyable development.
When you follow the right major in your course,
the frork can become vitally interesting, and your
college career will be more worthwhile.
"But what is my right line of work?," may be
a puzzling question. All the thought you can give
to finding the answer will be fully repaid. Analyze
yourself and you will surely discover your natural
aptitude.
And when you've found what line you feel you
ought to follow, stick to it. Stand by your major
and your major will stand by you.
