Classroom Not Main Value
Classroom Not Main Value
After results from last year's questions, the committee scheduled Saturday by the committee. Startling among the information gathered, is the fact that more students have realized their desires in the University by developing and enjoying personal friendships and from being inspired by good teachers, than from the interviews they have gained in the classroom.
Other factors in order were the gaining of acquaintances with literature on subjects of interest, of the habit of being critical, of habits of study, and of extra-curricular activities participated in. Comparatively few answered that the experience gained in well conducted projects and habit of reading the methods were greater than the factors infalling their desires for college.
Cribbing Does Not Bother
Cribbing has not hindered the realization of the students' deserts in 343 cases; in 48 cases, it has. Many are fused to answer the question dealing with the harm of cribbing.
Figures as to "what college has done for me" will be made public in a few days.

The article, on sleep, written by an eminent sociologist, states that sleep erasers from the time our ancestors slept because it was dark and there was no light.
It maintains that through experiments it has been proved that most people can do with several hours less sleep than eight. When man realizes more work will be accomplished and greater efficiency will be the result.

Fraternity Men Follow Cinder Path to College
