ODDS AND ENDS.
Mr. Saunders makes a speciality of teaching Mandolin, Guitar, Violin, Banjo and Zither, but during his many years' experience in music, both playing and teaching, he has had the opportunity to investigate all the band and orchestra instruments (Coronets, Trombone, Double Bass, Drums, etc.), and understands and teaches any of them.

It is said that Columbia next year will adopt the eligibility rules that obtain at other leading eastern collies in regard to football. The athletic standing of some of Columbia's players has been questioned this year.
Students at the University of Chicago have chosen the question for the annual Michigan-Chicago debate, which will be held in January. The question is: "Resolved. That municipal ownership and operation is preferable to private ownership and operation of street railways."
Coach Woodruff of the University of Pennsylvania has been quoted in an eastern paper on possible new football combinations between the colleges next year as follows: "I am unable to predict with any certainty the outcome of the workings of college football policies, but I can see no reason for any change of existing relations all around. This year at least there is no such name as the "big four."—Western universities are becoming more of a factor every year, and Pennsylvania is at present having more to do with the institutions of the west than perhaps any of the other eastern colleges."

GRADUATE CLUB.
Some one has defined an educated man as one who knows everything about some thing and something about everything. This definition, like most of its kind, is probably not more than half true. Still it does contain a truth we sometimes forget.
To obtain power we must limit the range of its application and concentration of vision is not compatible with wideness of horizon. Our schools produce specialists and good ones but too often they have a tendency to become a little less than men; they approach a species of highly organized machine for getting small bits of knowledge from a small field. In no sense can they reach to Terence's requirement. "Homo sum, nihil humani mihi alieno est." In working our small fields we are likely to forget that there are other fields and finally cease to care whether there are others or not. This is not right. While we cannot have in this day a knowledge of everything in which concentration is necessary yet every educated man should have a catholicity of sentiment that bespeaks his interest in everything that is for the final betterment of humanity.
Perhaps nowhere is this tendency among those pursuing a special idea, to forget all others, to lose interest in other ideas and eventually in other things, and so to develop a clannish habit of mind, have a greater power than in a school where a small body of graduate students are scattered among a larger body of undergraduates. Their work is different from that of the undergraduates and they are so few that each is thrown very largely on his own resources. There is no other to especially sympathize with one's hobby and finally the need of sympathy ceases to be felt.
The most immediately available correction to this tendency is to bring the students of different lines together and to get them to interchange their ideas and ambitions. To bring to the attention of each something that has a right to his thought and will take him from his ordinary mental path. This is a prime object of the Graduale Students Club: To promote sociability, both in the ordinary sense and also intellectually among the graduate students.
Another object is to give them that solidarity and effectiveness which comes from organization and from a feeling of spirt de corps. Any university does much for its graduate students andin return they can do much for it by giving it standing and in expanding its works.
An effort is being made to unify and to render more uniform the condition of graduate work in the various schools of the country to disseminate information which may assist students in finding what they want and to render easier that migration from one place to another, the importance of which for the cultivation of a true scientific spirit we do not yet appreciate in America. This work is very largely in the hands of the graduate clubs of the universities scattered here and there.
To make any effort successful it is essential that those for whom it is intended should take part, and all of them, not only a few. The Graduate Student club of the University of Kansas is being reorganized for the year's work. All graduate students should attend the meeting for the election of officers on Monday, Dec. 18.
