Schools Beginning Recognize
Value of Achievement
Says Speaker.
Institution of an honors con
vocation by the Nebraska uni
versity is an cneourHjriiiH sipu
that universities are beginninc
to recognize the value ol quali
tative aoliievcnient, was the
opinion expressed by Dr. Norman
Foerster. doctor of letters at Iowa
State university, who addressed
the. honors convocation at the coli

Award Medals.
Following: Dr. Foerster's talk
medals were awarded to students
with high scholarship and general
recognition was made of all those
with high grades. The Pershing
medal was presented to Leonard
Charles Dull of Clifton, Kas., by
Miss May Pershing, sister of the
general who left Lincoln a short
time ago. The school of music or
chestra presented several numbers
and Rev. W. E. Lowther of First
Methodist church delivered the in
vocation for the gathering of
nearly 1.000 people. The convoca
tion w as presided over by Chancel
lor Burnett.
Dr. Foerster said that scholastic
achievement was .shunned rather
than sought after through fear of
gaining the name of a snob. He
pointed out that mass production
of college diplomas has failed to
raise the level of American culture
and even those who possess su
perior qualifications strive to
cover them up.
Stresses Virtue, Talent.
"Our state universities contain
vast numbers of students who are
anvthing but geniuses, who are
rather, chaff or rubbish. I am less
concerned about the presence of
these than about the absence of a
large proportion of young men and
women who possess virtue and
talent."
He offered as explanation for
the lack of interest in high nchol
aftie attainment that state uni
versities are suTTerm from a
naive conception of democracy
that has largely been abandoned
in Europe. This religion is humani
tarianism. ' Socialism and communism con
stitute the left wing of a lareer
movement, humanitarianism. His
torically studied, the humanitarian
movement of the past 200 years
turns out to be a manifestation of
materialism, a movement hostile to
the inwardness of the religious and
humanistic traditions. The ancient
world focused attention on propor
tionate living, the middle agss on
the welfare of the soul, the Ren
aissance on the development of
personality, and all three rendered
a splendid account of man's inner
life, but the modern world has
foeu.-cd on the body and discred
ited everything else. This is why its
attempt at mass production of
happiness is failing. Whereas hu
miinitarianism begins with so
ciety, humanism begins with the

The search for slippery outlaw

LONG TALE LIES
HACK OF COMMON
PLAYING CARDS
"Who'll make a fourth?" is a
common cry in fraternity and so
rority houses, for contract bridge
has a place all its own in our lei
sure hours. But when we deal out
a hand we don't realize all the his
tory that lies back of the deck.
Games with playing cards have
been played in some form since
618 B. C, and cards have been
printed in 22 languages. Early
decks of cards in Germany named
the four suits as heart, bell, leaf
and acorn; while in Spain they
were called sword, baton, cup and
money. (Imagine bidding two ba
tons! )
By 1397 playing cards had be
come common in Europe. In
France the common people were
forbidden to play on working days.
Playing cards were undoubtably
introduced in America by the

Miss Gellatly found the Satur

a play which is interesting and en

stated Dr. W. E. Walton, instruc

Dr. Walton, who spent last year

"Once we have learned what

able to construct test enabling ua
