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.

have iriven the writer some of his
notions. 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. In setting
up a sort of standard or ideas at
first, the assumption is that where
evcr the ideal is not being realized
the college is failing. The ideals

. 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. Is it so?

THE MOTION!
1NTER-FRATERNALISM
At the last meeting of the Inter

for the annual Interfr?ternity ban
quet were laid. In his remarks con
cerning the event, Dr. Pool, chair
man of the council, expressed the
wish thet this year's banquet might
be attended by every fraternity al
umnus in the city, and might be a
truly interfraternity affair, where
men of all organizations could cme
and enjoy the association of other
fraternity men.
