To seme these views may seem idealistic, but with the concrete evidences f the decav of not be able to give the reason. There was a time culminating in the hey-day of the boom years, when everything collegiate was glamorous, and the power of the paddle, with all of its coexistent ramifications, was almost supreme. Pledges were treated with the avowed purpose of molding them into a type. Their habits were watched; their actions were dic tated; they tended to become stere otyped "smoothies." Those were the days of the rois tering jads whose lives in college were almost entirely dedicated to having a "big time." They had it. all right. aDd to some extent they j The definite forms which the : application of the now spirit will jtake cannot be prophesied cate gorically. It is sufficient that fra ternities now shall recognize that there is a new spirit. That alone will be a big step toward eventual worthwhile chang;e change that must come if fraternities are to continue to be a force in American education. As to the foundation for these remarks, look around you and ob serve the death of the "country club atmosphere," the decadence of things 'collegiate." As to the fu ture development sketched, let us use another quotation, one which Students Must Clear Records by March 10 All reports for the removal of incompletes and for all grades Peking must be on file in the Registrar's Office not later than March 10, if stu dents are to be eligible for con sideration for the Honors Con vocation.

But the task of building men of char- hitherto, most of the emphasis has been on the economic straits in which fraternities find themselves, Bnd little attention has been given to the organic phenomena begin ning to Vie antedated. A year ago A. Lawrence Lowell, president of Harvard university, tx pressed what he thought was the Tiew trend: "Our college students us a whole appear more mature than a generation ago, not only in scholarship but also in their out Fide interests and in their sense of proportionate values, which is the flower of maturity." A recent article in the "Rattle" of Theta Chi goes even further in demonstrating how new conditions will make themselves felt more and more in the colleges and universi ties: "There will be a seriousness of purpose dominant on college and university campuses that will put an emphasis upon the fundamental purpose of ec ." ition an earnest seeking for truth in order to secure freedom from political, economic, religious and social dogmas." JOTH of these quotations dem onstrate admirably the views of men familiar with colleges and v.i.1 able to look about them and aeter?

Dr. F. C. Allen, director of ath iletics at the University of Kansas. I this week said he would head a campaign to eliminate booing at j basketball game s, according to a j report from the College News Service. We wonder if he got the 1 idea after bringing his team to Ne ibraska for a tame. When the Temple building was 'built in lft07. the Lincoln Woman's club donated $300 to the building fund. In return the ruh v,s had the use of one of the largest rooms in the building in perpetuity. After twenty-five years, the annual rent amounts to J2 per year. That looks like pretty cheap rent even dunng a depression. The Sig Alphs ought to be pleased with the selection of or chestra made by the junior-senior prom commute. We trust the Fitting the Training To the Conditions. 'jHE announcement of the agree ment of the Yale Jaw school and Harvard business school to of fer a joint four year course is an interesting recognition of the fact that more and more lawyers enter the field of business as well as the fact that practicing attorneys in this day and age find necessary a more or less specialized knowledge of business practices. The old conception of a lawyer has changed. Most attorneys find their field of practice in metropoli tan cities where they are concerned not only w ith rules of evidence and case law but to a larger extent with technic 1 procedures for busi ness transactions. To Vie adequate ly fitted for the type of work in volved in corporation law, it is now- necessary for lawyers to know some of the material taught in col leges of business administration and the like. The Harvard-Yale plan adds an other year to the long drawn out preparation of the law student. In this respect it is unfortunate. Hut students with legal ambitions will do well to recognize the necessity for this business training. Law stu dents are in man v cases beinc ad vised by practicing attorneys and law professors to take such sub jects as accounting, business fi nance, and other similar courses. L-atin.
