Dr. Edgar L. Hewett Speaks
Under Auspices of P.
B. K. Sigma Xi
MAN HERE NOT SO OLD
No Indications That Lif. in This
Country Reaches Back Far
ai That of Europe
Dr. Edgar L. Hewett, director of
the School of American Research of
the Archaeological Institute of Am
erica, spoke on "The Archaeology of
the Southwest" under the auspices of
Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi Fri
day evening in the Temple theater.
Profiler G. D. Swezey, head of the
department of astronomy and presi
dent of the local chapter of Sigma
Xi, introduced Dr. Hewett.
"Anv statement as to the time of
occupancy of the Southwest hy the
human species is a guess," declared
Dr. Hewett. "For all practical pur
poses we may still begin the study of
man in this region with the cliff
dweller?.
Evidence Scanty
'N'ii v.-t antiquity is indicated as
compared with the antiquity of man
in Europe. We cannot postulate a
paleolithic man in the new world or
follow any old world method of
classification.
"In general. Pueblo traditions I
point? to-.vaid migration from the!
no:-th. There are several rather
mea.'i r arguments pointing toward j
earlier inhabitants than the cave;
dv.vlii-rs. The scanty evidence indi-t
cat.:.; earlier occupants such as the
ba.-ket weaver?, pit house dwellers, j
and e-.her groups are to be consider-,
ed but held in abeyance.
'.N'. thincr has been established as
from whence this first outstanding :
culture of the southwest. The ac-j
cepted theory of Americanists point j
toward ti e remote Asiatic origin of
the indigenous American race by i
ray of the Dering Strait with a cul-'
tute level at the time of arrival on i
this c .ntir.ert about equal to that of I
.u. .t:.i.:, v I
ill; i;r'.itiuc LuivjiLwin
Culture Wa Low
"These migrants arrived and con
tinued without a practical knowledge
of the working of metals. For that
reason, while exploring and settling
a vast continent, they remained low
in material culture.
"However in other elements of cul
ture, they surpassed their European
contemporaries of the neolithic and
later ages.
"The ftory of man in the South
west is the story of an adaption to
peculiarly definite and elemental
conditions. It is a fascinating chap
ter in the history of human arts,
industries, social structure, and be
lief. "1 think of the Southwest as c
theater where great forces have been
contending through eons; where liv
ing thir.g.i have struggled to survive
and multiply in a changing environ
ment; where a drama of human life
has been portrayed and where the
T'irit of man hhi striven and brought
forth it a fruit.
"I ful that its vast spaces are vi
brant with deathless music. The
Southwest is a place where soientist
ar.d philosopher and artist alike can
walk humbly with Creative Mind."
Dr. Hewitt illustrated his lecture
'ith slides f,f scenes taken in the
grand canyon of the Colorado river,
in the Jemoz crater, and in the des
erts and mesas of the Southwest,
showing the excavation work that
has been done.

The drama is concerned with the
flight of the human soul after death.
It had a substantial run in London
and a season's run in New York. '
The scene of the play is on board
a small ocean liner. During the
first act the eight characters dis
cover that they are on board a
ship but why they are, they are not
sure. The young clergyman knows
that the doctor told him to take a
holiday. The scrub-woman has been
told that she will be met at the other
end. Mrs. Cliveden-Banks believes
that she is to join her husband.

LeRossignol Writes
For Trade Review
In the annual review edition of
the Lincoln Trade Review, an article
appears entitled " hat the College
of Business Administration Is Doing
for Nebraska Business Men," by
Dean J. E. LeRossignol, in which he
tells of the purposes and ideals of the
college, its cooperation with business
enterprises, the work of the com
mittee on business research, and the
timely advice and assistance which it
gives business men throughout the
.state.
K. U. Student Refuses Phi Beta
Kappa Honors; Raps Grade System
What are grades worth? An "A"
student at the University of Kansas
doc n't think they are marks of true
'cholamhip. When offered member
ship in Phi Beta Kappa, he wrote
this refusal:
Kan as Alpha Chapter of Phi Beta
Kappa:
I wrote this letter with hesitating
fingois, fearing that I may not make
Icar just how I feel when I say I
m lcc!ining the honor of member
hip in Phi Beta Kappa. I deeply
appreciate the honor that has been
extended to me. My reason for not
accepting it arc presented in the fol
lowing paragraphs.
I do not subscribe to the ideal of
the high grade which I understand
is the ideal of Phi Beta Kappa. I
honestly believe that in the circum
stances of our state universities to
day, with their large classes and in
dividualized treatment, to strive for
(frades is detrimental to the best in
terests of scholarship. To get an
"A" requires a degree of docility
and useless iiiuubu mv
the independence, initiative, and
spirit of adventure which are the
very life blood, it seems to me, of the
true scholar and scientist.
In short, I feel that the grade sys
tem of our schools is a false criterion
of scholarship and is a dangerous
foundation for intellectual idealism
and achieve!"".

I recall, as I write, my own experi
ence with grades, for I sadly admit
that many of the "A's" came through
the path of "grinding," "cramming,"
"doing what the 'prof expects," and
"working for my grades." I feel
hat I have sacrificed my own de
velopment for the empty honor of
a grade. I feel that this is the price
of our honoring 'of high grades. Of
course if high grades, and high
scholarship were synonymous thcru
would be no point in what I say. But
in our academic system where so
much of the educational process is
formal I do not see how it is possible
for a student to be a "straight A
man" without wasting much of his
enTiries on the forms and husks
which are taught, not to individuals,
but to classes of 30, 50, 100 and 150.
I do not believe that I would
be honest and fair to the organiza
tion if I joined it when I have so
little confidence in the efficiency of
its high grade measure of scholarship
(I do rot agree with those who say
"Well, it is the best we can have
under the circumstances"). I do
not ' see that it would be playing
square with the scholastic standing
of Phi Beta Kappa if I accepted
membership upon the basis of my
part records and then proceeded to
ignore, as I am trying to do, grades
for the rest of my academic career.
