THE COSMOPOLITAN TRADITION
Obless of our holiday traditions' is Christmas. Only it and Easter are adequate American history. Easter' in a mystic observance whence why' has changed but little since its esta blishment in the Catholic church. T amksing, a religious occasion in early colonial history, has become as day of football games and gluttony.
Christmas, alone, is com-monad. The scattering of people of Christian faith has made it observed in some manner or other among the world. It is doubtful if any tradition has more adequately mirrored the life of the people who hold to it, than this of the Vuleidite. /
Like most holidays it be gnas as a religious rite. But the religion which fostered the birth of the Christmas tradition, although still ring the same name, has changed if namely. As the religion has gradally been transformed to conform to the people to which it was common, its customers have also changed.
Christmas today is the embodiment partly of the nativity, which has been so fundamental to Christianity, but also of the pagan, barbaric German and Norse customs of the Yule tree, Saint Nicholas, and the beautiful folklore of centuries, which has slowly found its way into the folklore of other tribes.
In the past century the Americans have radically transformed the holiday traffiction. To many, it is now a business enterprise and Saint Nicholas is the president of the local Chamber of Commerce.
But the impressiveness and festivity of the Yule tree, the candles, the colored lights, and the music, all intertwined with the spirit of cheer, peace, and giving for the sake of happiness, will hold the tradition long in the hearts of even the most civilized of communities.
years ago, a man came into this world who taught the door rite of doing unto others as we would; that others should do unto us. The man, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, *forth principles* that at the present day live hundred and sixty-six mill on people in this world have expressed a desire to follow.
AWAY WITH HATE
And a wise and great leader, Confucius, who taught eagerly the same principles, has more than three hundred million followers today. A total of almost one billion persons, then have avoided purpose of spreading "peace on earth," good will toward men." Y4t, at the present day, there is little more peace than there was before the drawing of Christ and Concordia. Hate still rules the world.
Is bate, then, a natural instinct? 2 years ago, in the first months of that war when the youth of Europe were wallowing in mud and blood for the patriotic principles of killing each other, Christmas day brought a sadden and an amusing truce. As if by common consent, men put aside their weapons, with the dawn of Christ's birthday.
A year passed and the battle-scarred men lost the memory of the significance of Christmas. Instead, they required a degree of innate feary. As a result, there was no nessation of hostilities on Christmas day, 1915.
Hate, then, might seem to be an unnatural instinct, a purely emotional emotion. Why then do we let the Hate Manufacturers have their way? We have watched them dread Christ away as "imperialistic." Certainly the deocrines of Christ cannot prove any more inexperienced than hate.
Much substant'f has been written about the rummage elephant, but the really physical things about the incident is the fact that, not even an elephant can have any freedom in Kansas.
Plain Tales From the Hill
A professor entered her class the other morning and took a sweeping glance at the women on the front row. "I am going to discuss short skirts this morning," she said. "But not at any great length."
Members of a class in Greek history are looking for vintage firearms of the old Grecian days. It is all due to an instructor who described a Greek home of the 51st century, B. having a mural, over the doorway.

Waves, curls, and ringlets will soon make their appearance on the Ohio Wesleyan University campus, as the result of a recent fire that has since. Since 1853 the Wesleyan deans of women have held that the curling iron is a very dangerous weapon, not only capability of causing the burn, but also beauty, but also of campus morale.

"Naught can compare with Gifts to wear!"
"Historicals"
The designs in Resilio Historicals are taken from ancient historic buildings and works of art. We are now showing, in our windows, a design copied from the "Rose Window" of the Cathedral of Rheims. Another beautiful design is taken from ceiling decorations in the Room of Pearls of the Royal Mosque at Ispahan.
They are simply exquisite!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
prime favorite on the campus
IN ANY group of regular fellows, you'll find Prince Albert. It belongs. It speaks the language. You get what we mean the minute you tamp a load of this wonderful tobacco into the bowl of your jimmy-pipe and make fire with a match.
Cool as a northeast bedroom. Sweet as a note from the Girl of Girls. Fragrant as a woodland trail. Prince Albert never bites your tongue or parches your throat, no matter how fast you feed it. You'll smoke pipe-load on pipe-load with never a regret.
Buy a tidy red tin of P. A. today. Throw back the hinged lid and breathe deeply of that real tobacco aroma. Then . . . tuck a neat wad into the business-end of your Jimmy-pipe and light up. Now you have it . . . that taste! That's Prince Albert, Fellows!
PRINGE ALBERT
—no other tobacco is like it!
P. A. is told everyone in the town that he has two humbundles and hundreds of pennies with pink-painted lips and with pony-egg-tissue ties. Of his life and money received by him, P. A. is told he was not given
