THE ANATOMY OF GREATNESS
(McCill Daily) ,
What is greatnens and upon what
joc it depend 7
wc look at the photoprraph of, let
say, Premier Baldwin, of Brit
"f If we did not know that he
' B great man, would there be
wa .... tho nhotosrraph to point
It? Trcmier Baldwin has a head
. i. not double the size of an or
7.r man's head It Is less In size
than a K"d many heads, and yet In
mind therein Is worth several ordi
nary minds.
Why is !t tlmt a certain man' nBV'
ne paused through ordinary boyhood
d young manhood, rises to a pos
l00k upon him as their deliverer. He
. nRCg the course of historyi there
by affecting the life of millions.
Many P'Ple mint hBVe ,nfinitcly
more talent than ho along certain
lir,g, Alexander the Groat' con
quered the world and died as the re
sult of a feeble human weakness.
Isaac Newton, who . revolutionized
Kicnee, was a dullard in many ways.
Teachers and professors moralize,
and successful business men make
eood money by outlining the royal
road to prcatness. In the old days
of class distinction, a man of the
umrkine ilass would agree that he
did not have the talent worthy of
(rroatness. Cleverness ana quicKness
of brain, usually hereditary, was
supposed to be the only cause from
greatness. This viewpoint was pre
valent until a class of financiers had
worked their way to fame from pov
ertv. without the aid of education
Tk.i nt once became idols. Talent
was but a minor requisite, but the
ability to work hard and long, and
to love work, was stressed. And
we remember the lives of Doctor
Johnson, Goldsmith and Gray, who
were notorious for their idolence. A
class of Thysical Educationists have
arisen who declare that the "mens
sano in corpore sano" doctrine ex-
plains greatness, and that men who
never shown in athletics will never
shine anywhere. We have only to
refer to William III of England, the
second "Oonquerer," Laurence
Sterne, and Pope as examples of a
ereat class of men who reached
greatness in spite of physical indol
ence and infirmity. There are in
ferable other hypotheses, which, if
delved into, lose all their weight:
Some men become notorious through
a pleasant appearance, others go
through their lives attired as tramps,
or herniits, but the world minds not.
Greatness -nay be ascribed to an ex
cellent personality, but men akin to
those mentioned above had most
repellant perssnalities, and yet en
joyed ereat vogue, even in their
own time.
But let it be noticed that greatness
centers round deeds. A man of great
orks is a great man, and great only
as far as his works go. The man
that ordinary man with a head, a
nose, two eyes and a mouth, alike
in most respects to those possessed
by everyone else sways the world
the world adores him sooner or
later, for his good works; or curses
him for his evil works among the
children of men. Have not statistic
seekers done wrong to seek for the
secret of greatness in the subject
himself, rather than in his mighty
works? We offer it as our humbl
suggestion.
Does greatness depend, upon origi
nality? Doubtless the great major
ity of it does, but not all of it. A
great musician plays the pieces of
great masters on a violin. There is
nothing original about that or noth
ing more original than usual.
Must we then give up our quest
for the reason of greatness? Statis
tics prove nothing there are too
many exceptions.' We are inclined
to believe with Mark Twain, that
there are three kind of lieslies,
damned lies and statistics.
mere
Most Students Carry Books Under
Left A rnz Investigation Discloses
Are bgoks carried under tho right
arm or under tho left arm?
The average student may find it
necessary to pick up books and find
out, i asked.
Out of seventy-five men noticed
on campus, ton did not carry books;
sixteen carried them under their
right arms; whilo forty-nine carried
books under left arms.
Seventy-five university women
presented almost the same story.
Four did not carry books, twenty-one
carried; them under their right arms,
and fifty carried them under their
left arms.
It appears, then, that, true to ha
bit, the right hand is left free, to be
ready if called upon. The exact op
posite applies to those who are left
handed. When questioned:
Geraldine Fleming; 'I don't know.'
Marlon Woodard: "Under my left
arm, of course." '
Evelyn 'Linley: "Always left."
Barney Olansky: "I do not carry
books."
Gertrude Roe: "I shift mine." '
See What group you come under.
IS more truth ?n t.h Hair.
'ig, "Man must work ont hnt own
Mlvation" than in all the statistics
concerning greatness.
No doubt greatness inheres in an
bundant amount of ambition or
wient or physical fitness or origi-J
";ity or power, singly, together, in
Pairs, and in very human quality we
"ow of. But if we can develop
"osse qualities which the Almighty
Ms furnished us with, to the highest
aeeree, and do all we can towards a
t ideal, we have done our part.
And our universities? ' They are
e to produce great men. Enor
, amnts of money have been
fished upon them, the cleverest
U ln the world are employed by
on, and yet the university seems

ses will never attain anything like

REGISTRATION SAID HIGH
Mitt MaGahey Says Number Expect
ed to Equal Last Year'
Although no tabulation has been
made of the second-semester regis
tration, Miss Florence I. MaGahey,
registrar, estimates the enrollment to
be approximately equal to that of
last year at this time. The total is
about 300 less than at the beginning
of the year in September. The de
crease is the customary second-sem
ester drop caused by students leaving
school on account of ill health, bad
finances, and scholarship. There are
always many new students entering
the second semester, so that the drop
is not as great as it would be other
wise.

PUBLISH A STUDY BK BUCK
"Milton on Liberty," by Nebraska
Professor, Now in Print
"Milton on Liberty," a University
study by Prof. Philo M. Buck, of the
department of comparative literal
ture, who is now on leave at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, has recently
bean published by the University. It
is a study of Milton's ideas on liberty
as revealed in his various works.
"There is no finer thoughts on liber
ty," concluded Professor Buck. "It
Is refreshing in this age with its
large democratic trust in the effi
ciency of legislation and state con
trol, to read his plea for tho rule of
reason. Milton was tho first great
liberal in English polities."
