High School Sophomores Must Be Getting Smarter
Washington—(U.P.)—This acts a little like a quiz program. As a matter of fact, it is.
This one was fancied up by Edward Boykin, a historian of note, who is the adviser on history and culture for the forthcoming Washington sesquicentennial.
The professor has selected 100 questions on American history which he thinks every high school sophomore should be able to answer. Here are a few samples:
2. What was the Emancipation proclamation? Did it free all the slaves?
1. Who wrote the Declaration of Independence? How many signatures are on it? Who was the first signer?
3. What, roughly, were the boundaries of the United States as fixed by the Treaty of Paris which ended the American revolution in 1783?
4. What two ships fought the first battle between ironclad vessels? Where did this fight take place? What was its effect on naval warfare?
5. What was Christopher Columbus looking for when he sailed the Atlantic in 1492? Where did he make his first landing? Who financed his expedition? What were the names of his ships? How many voyages did he make to the New World?
1. Thomas Jefferson. 56. John Hancock.
2. The proclamation was signed by Abraham Lincoln which freed three million slaves held in southern states. It freed only the slaves in the states at war with the United States, excluding eight other states.
3. The boundaries were fixed as Canada on the north; the Atlantic ocean on the east; Florida on the south; and the Mississippi river on the west.
Answers:
5. Columbus was looking for a shorter route to the Orient. He made his first landing on the island of San Salvadore in the West Indies. His expedition was financed by Spain. His ships were the Nina, Pinta, and the Santa Maria. He made four voyages to the New World, but never set foot on the North American continent.
4. The Merrimac and the Monitor,
At Hampton Road, Va., it changed
the whole course of naval warfare
by ending the days of wooden ships.
Bridge Team Places Third
Four University bridge players won third place in the team-of-four division of the Big Seven Bridge tournament held at the University of Missouri, April 21 and 22.
In the individual team division Earl Watson, first year law, and Herman Lohrengel, engineering junior, won fourth place. James Feitz, business senior, and Hubert Berger, engineering sophomore, placed seventh. The University of Colorado
won top honors in this division.
Competition Keen, Instructor Says
won top honors in this division. The same four University bridge players participated in the team-of-four event. First place in this division was taken by the University of Missouri.
That was the opinion of John T. Cannon, instructor in economics, who spoke April 20 at a meeting of Delta Sigma Pi, professional business fraternity.
Competition in college is sligh compared to future competition in the business world. Therefore, the college business student should clarify his ideas about the future and self-appraise his own personality to meet this competition.
Mr. Cannon listed four characteristics for a successful business executive. The desired characteristics are to be technically competent, to have ambition and controlled agressiveness, to have an eye for the main chance, and to have good working associations and cultivate the ability for leadership.
For the first time since reactivation in 1947, Deltasigma Pi will award a scholarship key to the male business senior with the highest scholastic average. The presentation of the key will be made by Dean Leonard H. Axe on Business School day. Wednesday, May 10.
The fraternity will hold its initia-t at its next meeting on Sunday, pay 7.

Davidson To Visit Omaha University
