"However, I am not always conscious of blushing. I have an idea that my friends think that my fears are confirmed. Just why the most brilliant of colors should darken my choice of clothes? It is more probable that I do not know. And it is even more provoking to realize that you blush at every moment, whether what the question or what the occasion.

I don't mind being in the company of girl friends and really I believe that I do not blush very much then, but on some less reasonable occasion such as being asked a simple question, course I have to break out now. It is all very provoking and distasteful."

"Life seems to be one continuous blush for me," was the parting remark of the afflicted.

Students Select "Best" Professor as to Personality
Questionnaire Circulated by Project Committee Among Juniors and Seniors
Personality and attractive manner are the factors most considered in the selection of favorite teachers at the University, according to the questionnaire. The education project committee to college junior students and seniors in 21 classes last spring. Prof. F. P. OBrien, director of the school services bureau at the University, has compiled the results and just been given out for publication.
Asked to check not more than three reasons for selecting the favorite author, students added a swering the question's `d`. "The author was chosen because his personality was attractive or his manner was polished." Students were taken to include all of the various personal qualities. This was the only one right in this section.
Selections Made Because of Course
Only one person signifies that the incher was selected because his courses required less work than the other, so he selection because his course required more than the average.
The second largest number, 154, gave the reason for choosing the particular instructor as a more profound knowledge of his subject than other students. He seemed to adapt his subject better to the needs of the student and offered individual encouragement; and 105 listed the fact that the instructor emphasized life situations and conceived more material than others did.
Other factors and the number of students checking them included: Expected more initiative and encouraged more originality; 84; more of an in-depth understanding of their long thinking in his teaching; 83 seemed to trust every student in the class, putting every student on his own and impressing you by his fairness; 81; was compassionate or helpful with students in their activities, 46.
Fifty-one Departments Mentored
When asked to recall the person of whom the student could say, "He (or she) is the best college teacher there," students and departments or subjects were listed. The great variety of departments chosen shows careful discrimination by the students, in the opinion of Professor O'Brien, who worked with the students and handling and questioning them.
"If the results had shown a rather narrow classification, one might conclude that there was a lack of serious attention to the outstanding department in the College," he pointed out. "The answers received indicate a healthy degree of interest in the divisions of the College and in the quality of the teachers, in the minds of the students, as well as a gratitude to those who light on the part of those answering."
Questionnaire issued to 21 Classes The student's education project committee, as it is being called temporarily, issued the questionnaire to juniors and seniors in 21 classes in the College of Arts and Sciences. This form shall be given early in the second semester to another group of classes.
The purpose of this project committee is to discuss namely and sympathetically the various questions of student life, with an aim at solving some of the student problems. The committee's survey are being used in the work.
The idea of the committee was first developed at a meeting of a small group of students attending the joint Y, M, C, A, and Y, W, C, A, conferrerns ages ago. Delegates from the University introduced the plan to this campus last fall. The principal work of the body was the devising of the questionnaires which was given in the conference.
