APOLOGY TOR WRITING By Dla Orr A atuJont ahould hesitate to inflict hia view upon his follow students In ouch prominent manner nd per haps should be more modest than to put them before the faculty and other mature readers of The Paily Nebras kan. But the editor is of the opinion that someone may be interested in ft student's views with respect to the Colleire of Arts aid Sciences. Ac cordingly he prevailed upon the writ er to set down some observations and notions about the arts college. It ought to be evident that the op inions of n undergraduate cannot be very original or of tremendou? significance, yet if he finds food for his soul in worrying about the rts college, nd if he thinks that his com ment are to the point, perhaps there is no harm to come from putting them down and even having them printed in The Daily Ncbraskan at a season when other issues are not pressing.

The articles to follow will not do justice to these great edu cators: such names re mentioned merely to indicate that the writer Is not entirely without authority. On the other hand, however, for the ap- plicalion of their ideas to the pres ent situation and for the analysis of local corditions, the writer will have to be held accountable. Three lines of study will be fol lowed in the discussion of the arts college: (1) ft definition of the pur pose of an arts college in a state university with suggestions for a cur riculum and administrative methods that would help to realite the pur pose; (2) a criticism of the college in its present condition in contrast with the standard previously estab lished; and (8) a discussion of cer tain aspects of college and univer- ity life as they touch upon the pro per work of the college.

TOO BUSY (WUcoaila Daily Cardinal) "Now ner so bisy a man as he there nas. And yet he seemed bisier than he was." Chauncer seems to be referring to the lawyer, but in reality he is here gifted with prophetic vision and is describing the American business man and the American student who "goes in for activities and that sort of thing." It is perhaps the signal curse of American civilisation that the Americans who have the great est energy and the greatest poten tial creative force expend them selves utterly in the pursuits of ac tive life and so have not the vi tality to enjoy in their non-working hours the good things of art and lit erature. One who is familiar with the strenuousness of the life of the successful American business man can easily understand the fact that we have had created in this country certain especial and not very high forms of art expressly for "the tired business man." A not unintelligent person view ing the situation objectively might presume that American college stu dents, realising that they are doom ed to this part of stress and strain and worry for the greater portion of their life, would devote their four undergraduate years to leisurely ha bits of study, to pleasant contempla tion of things and ideals to the gen tle seduction of culture.
