THE VALUE OF ATHLETICS
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7.1926
An interesting move was made this year in the realm of colleges and universities when Dartmouth passed a rule requiring all seniors to take part in some kind of competitive athletics three times a week throughout the entire year.
To some persons this may give a new stint to the value of athletics in an educational institution. Here is shown the ideal of getting every man on a team, rather than developing but a few experts, while the others remain onlookers. A differentiation is made between gymnastism work, and genuine sports by designing that they be "competitive" athletics.
Not everyone can become a good football player, it is true, nor can we all play a good game of tennis. But we all are born with capacities to develop, and practice, combined with an interest in some line of athletics, it is certain to develop an athlete at least reasonably good if it is given a chance.
What is this value derived from competitive games that Dartmouth is evidently desired, that each of her graduates obtain? In most universities, football and basketball as well as other sports, are activities that a small percentage of the student body take part in for the love of playing the game, and the mass of students attend for the love of watching the game.
Dortmouth has decided that these qualities ought to be developed in all students.
In the mass is thus developed a patriotic college spirit, a hero-worship for those who win spectacularly, and probably a college vell. But the members of the active group derive much more lasting value from the game. It is they who learn the spirit of fair play, of clean competition, of rational co-operation with their fellowmen, of wise choice of leaders and a wise following of those leaders in whose hands can be traced the future of our nation.
Some instructors are merely satisfying their ego as to a course's difficulty when they say "you're not likely to get what this is all about for a month or so."
MAN VERSUS WOMAN
"More men than women" is the desire of Northwestern University this fall. In order to obtain this result, authorities at Northwestern passed legislation to establish a ratio of 456 men to 350 women.
This measure has been resorted to "in order to increase the professional atmosphere of Northwestern," according to Dean Raymond A. Kent John Pavers, assistant secretary of the general alumni association, explains rather that "It was done to protect the men."
"Women have jumped into the pools of higher education at the big Everston university with such a splash they threaten to wash all the men abseh," he admitted. The drive for "more and better men," will at least bring "more men." A generation ago such a problem would never have occurred. It is only since the so-called "weaker sex" have developed their strong-arm and entered into politics and business that it has arisen.
Well, if they cannot hold their own in open competition, perhaps men should be protected by legislation.
FIND YOURSELF
Every year freshmen are urged to enter some of the numerous activities on the Hill, which is all very well, be cause a university education would not be complete without the student's having learned something outside the realm of books. There is an invaluable experience to be gained from this association with other students; this working for a common goal, and this centering of interest, which will leave an intellebtible impression on the life of the student.
It is, however, imperative that students enter the field of work to which they are best adapted. Too often time and energy are expended without a thorough investigation having been made as to the nature of the activity, and students find that their interests lie in other directions. Too often they plunge headlong into organizations merely for the sake of belonging, and later find that they have not sufficient time to devote to the activity.
It was because of these facts that the Hill activities were explained to freshman women a few days ago. An attempt is being made to help them "find themselves" to help direct them in the sort of things they would like to do, and to interest them in the social and professional activities on the Hill.
It is best to find the thing in which you are most interested and go into a wholehearted, give it your best, and its best will be returned to you.
A freshman wonders if the House of Commons is a cafeteria.
THE QUEEN COMES
Queen Marie is to visit Kansas City on Nov. 18. Both before and after this date she is to visit many other cities in the United States and Canada, and on Dec. 13 she is to be back in New York preparing to sail for Rumania.
What is the purpose of this visit, other than to afford her and her retinue a gala tour, fedet at the hands of Americans and Canadians alike? What good is this expensive trip going to to Romania or America? Very little, if any. But it is going to afford Queen Marie and her party a lot of pleasure at the expense of poor over-burdened Romania and will cost America a pile of "money collectively in entertaining her and her family and friends.
Royalty expects a great deal from America whenever it visits here, and gets it. The Prince of Wales makes his regular visits to us, and all our fashionable young men copy the slant of his hat and the color of his tie. He tells the newspapers for a few days and then the Prince returns to England and America breathlessly awaits the arrival of some other royal personage, in order to have some new interest to watch for, such as tremendous offers from the limitless coffers of film companies for the privilege of filming this newest arrival as he or she walks from the gunklamp.
And the conventional thing has happened this year. The film companies have offered Queen Marie a goodly sum to appear in a film for them, although she has not accepted as yet. Each city is awaiting anxiously the time of her arrival, if it is "lucky" enough to be on her itinerary. It will view her from distances of fifty feet to hundreds of yards, or even several blocks, and bring about it.
Democratic American does love royalty!

Editorials From Other Hills
Grades
*The Vowelism. Cont.* *Nominator*
It has been said that graders are a student of *nomenclature* progress in a subject. Obviously if any grading is done it should be based on the amount of benefit derived from the course.
One student may be "bright" in the sense that he amasses countless facts which his mind retains for only a short time. This poplite reciles fluently making a display of what he, often makes, as a result of his observations, terms his knowledge.
This brilliant student will soon forget these facts in his efforts to conquer new fields; yet he may have received a grade of "one."
Then there is the pupil who is outwardly slightly "dumb." He knows most of the important facts about his lesson, yet he is unable to show his tenner that he does. He is perhaps quiet, thoughtful, and not quick to grasp the fine points of the lesson that seem so simple to the brilliant student. What he learns, however, he really knows—and remembers. He can use his knowledge, which is one of the cormarks of an educated man. The subject will "grow upon" him. Many points he may have missed come to him shortly as a late date.

Gold and silver; dappled, swettle,

Signature of an honor pledge is now asked of all students registering at Stanford University. The plep reads: "I agree to live up to the letter and spirit of the student honor system by honesty in all my personal contact and by neither giving nor receiving unpermitted aid in the course of work or any other work that is to be used by the instructor as a basis of grading. If I violate this pledge, I agree to withdraw from the University."
