"Oh what a dusty answer gets the soul
"When hot for certainties in this our life.
No wonder if the thinking student becomes a ma
terialist. The average fellow of ny intelligence soon
comes to the realization that he gets along better if
he is morally pretty straight; athletics teach him un
selfishness and sportsmanship or at least that it's the
part of a gentleman to appear to possess these attri
butes. The modern curriculum gives him an opportunity
to obtain a working knowledge about almost everything
under the sun, except his own soul.
Surely this is a topic important enough to be in
cluded in the courses of instruction in our universities,
and surely in this day of enlightenment and tolerance
it is possible to treat the subject logically, without re
sort to dogma or can't. The Tulane Hullabaloo.

The Cynic Sajra:
"I need thee', every hour," whistled the senior as
he passed op an offer for a free show and attended his
three o'clock class.
The question of unlimited cuts for staJents having
been discussed pro and con, an instructor at Ohio State
university ha3 come forth with his side of the question.
When the Ohio State Lantern raised the question, this
particular instructor submitted the following proposal:
"I have read your powerful piece urging students
to walk out of class when the professorial disquisitions
are not sufficiently entertaining.
"Bravo! I offer herewith my unreserved and un
equivocal indorsement of your argument. Under the fol
lowing conditions:
"That the instructor be allowed to desert the class
room when the class fails to exhibit the proper interest
in the profundities under consideration.
"That the instructor be permitted to send home to
his papa any student who doesn't show the proper
interest in the classroom entertainment.
"That the instructor be furnished with a rope (to
do the Indian rope trick), bunch of firecrackers, a pool
table, and some pocket-knives (for whittling), to help
in the business of entertainment "
We think this instructor's proposal very excellent,
and would be glad to see such a plan adopted under
the following conditions:
That the instructor's salary be docked every time
he cuts, and that such amount be distributed among
the members of the class as a rebate on their tuition.
That the students be permitted to send to the head
of the department any instructor who does not offer
novel entertainment.
That the instructor lose his job if more than
twenty-five per cent of his students failed to pass an
examination in the course given by outside examin
ers. The Daily Illini.

A NOTE ON GOLF
The Pied Piper of Golf is at it again. He has
sounded his seductive call in the reeds and grasses, in
the hollows and along rolling ridges, and the addicts
have answered. With niblicks and spoons, wr,th mashies
and jiggers, they have gathered. The tall ones and the
short ones, the sleek ones and the scrawny ones, they
have answered the call. Knock-kneed, sleepy-eyed, hump
backed, stiff and cramped from the indolence of winter
they are tee-ing off on the city's golf course. Wheez
ing, gasping for breath, groaning as fallen arches and
muscle-ossified legs protest, they climb over the green
ing knolls and tramp heroically over the low moist
places.
There are some too, who have not yet heard the
persuasive notes of invitation. They are still hunched
over books and desks in stuffy buildings, their faces
pallid and vacant with the drudgery of winter. But they
will hear. They will hear the call, for it will soon change
to an insistent command that will drag them bodily out
of their retreat and into the roughs wet with dew and
into ravines rocky and forbidding.

witching moonlight evenings how they dull the sense
ot scholastic duty and drug ambitious aspirations. We
look at our books, and see only visions of indolent
pleasures. With term papers and final examinations
looming belore us, our interest is centered around
thoughts of the coming vacation. Ease and social ac
tivity are probably emphasized as the two requisites
of a good vacation which, to many students, is consid

remarked a business man, himself a university grad

he gets his degree that amounts to a whole year the
most valuable, I think, of his entire collegiate course.
Never again will he have a similar opportunity. If he
has wasted it, I know something about him; if not,
he has a record worth showing.
"Here's the reeord of one boy I'v'e just employed,"
this man continued. "At the end of his freshman year

Dr. GrenfeU's mission in Labrador; at the close of jun

Spring's Choicest Modes in These 2 Underpriced Groups
It seems incredible that Coats like these should be of
fered at these two low prices! But here they are Coats
that are worth far more than these sale prices indicate.
There are sport and dress models at both prices and a
complete range of sizes, 13 to S2V. Every style feature
is included and all wanted shades and colors.
Pretty tans and grays in sport materials;
tans, grays, navy and black in rich Twills.
Also lovely models of Broadcloths, tan or

for their unusual charm. Two great groups.
