DO COLLEGES STANDARD IZE?
A story is told of a Yale man, seeking his son on the campus, and forced to return home without him. He said he could not recognize him from among the thousands of students he saw.
"Students today," says a prominent educator, "know more and hope less than they did twenty years ago."
Do colleges produce the same results generally accredit to modern institutions? Do college students come out of school all moulded after the same pattern.
It's an interesting paradox. The student, who comes in for a good share of criticism on all sides, is accused of lack of individuality, of being possessed of a vast store of knowledge, and of lacking hope.
It is not likely that all three can be true. As long as people continue to learn, they *do* learn in a university, they will continue to grow. And as long as they continue to grow, the rates of progress will vary. The accumulation of knowledge, then, by the different individuals, will operate to produce individuals, not standard tyres.
Nor will students cease to hope while they continue to learn. The youth is not naturally cynical or hopeless. It takes a good deal of life to stifle his optimism. If learning does anything at all, it opens his mind and heart to greater vistas than before. As long as he continues to acquire visions of the possibilities before him and the world, he will hope.
To be sure, some individuals come out certainly not entitled to rank as a university graduate. But the reason for that lies in the makeup of the student, himself, not in the university which he attended.
The student may be prone to all the vanities of the world, for he is, after all, a very normal sort of person, but he is not developed according to strict lines, he does not come out standardized, and he hopes as much as did his father before him.
University authorities ought pass a gum-parking ordinance.
POLICEMEN AND SIL
POLICEMEN AND SILK HOSE
A prominent Englishman during the course of a tour through America, was asked about the three most important things which he had seen in this country. He replied that those three were Ningara Falls, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, and the Los Angeles policeman whom he had seen wearing silk socks.
It sounds superficial; probably it may seem at first to hold a hidden barb. After all, though, it is significant, that policeman in silk hose. You could search from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, from Japan to the Canary Islands, and you would never find a similar sight.
The economic condition of a country which enables a policeman on the
street corner to wear clothes approaching the quality of that worn only by the chosen few in other countries is peculiar to Americas alone. It marks the difference between the oppression of tradition and custom in the older world and the opportunities of this.
Statistics say that nearly fifteen million bananas are consumed in the United States every day. It pays to advertise.
NAMES
Ex-President William Howard Taft is credited with asserting that if his son, at the termination of his college career, could greet by their first names five hundred classmates, his father would consider his four years' sojourn at Yale a complete success.
Can the inference be drawn that if a man cannot make several hundred friends in his four years at college, he has been unsuccessful, even though he be graduated with honors?
This much is granted: a student who goes four years "on the HILL" without gaining a goodly number of lasting friendships has missed an integral and indispensable part of university life.
Man cannot escape association with men any more than he can be delivered from his physical self. That association is inevitable. To learn, then, how to live in the interests of the group; to provide one one's needs with regard for one's neighbors', in short, to enjoy life—those should be of concern to the University student.
Sociology cannot automatically provide the full knowledge up in tinsel packages, ready to serve. Neither can psychology, which is primarily a study of human nature.
Experience can.
Friends are assets. Remember the name of the next person to whom you are introduced on the Hill.
A novice on the N. Y. stock exchange complains that a "bull" on the market gave him the wrong steer.
WORDS ARE DYNAMITE
Handled carelessly or indefinitely, words are as destructive and dangerous as a case of dynamite in a flaming building. Used carefully and judiciously, they are as economically and socially valuable as the explosive which blazes the trail for arteries of commerce.
Bent to the wrong purpose, words become a two-eided sword in the hands of a fend. The cruelest sarcaem, the most delicate irony, the most keenly-drawn satire, the baldest blasphemy is contained between the covers of the dictionary, awaiting the mind of evil intent.
Contraversely, carefully-mould e d thoughts have a commercial and a social utility. It is not to babble ü say to that the pen is mightier than the sword. Men's minds have ever triumphed over men's muscle, word-thoughts are tools of the

F. B. HALL
A noted French writer states that he often thinks an hour for the sole purpose of finding the exet word to fit the situation. Each word carries a shade of meaning, a connotation individual and peculiar to itself. To use a substitute in the place of the exet word is to sacrifice to carelessness the full force and power of one's thought.
E. R. HALL.
Words are dynamite. An explosive may be either destructive or constructive at the discretion of the possessor. Foster and develop the constructive value of the vocabulary.
We know of a student, new on the hill. We asked him what course he was going to enroll in. His answer was tromboneology, foallismath and shower bath. We hear that his stay on the hill will be rather short as these courses are not offered in the schedule.

DON'T hamper your education—don't encumber your mind—by using an unruly fountain pen. Such pens are the reason the classic Duofold was created.
Look at economy through the Future's eye
—see that years after college days are over
you'll be using the handsome Duoland that you
wouldn't need for a super-smooth point embody youth eternal.
This Chinese lacquer-red pen with smart black tips is the countersign all the regular fellows recognize. So don't be induced to accept an inferior pen when Duofold will grade up your taste as well as your work. While you're at it, get the real thing.

One of the boys on the hill had a date with one of the "opposites" the other night. He got to her house on schedule time. They couldn't find her anywhere in the house," was the word conveyed to him by one of her sisters. While they were "searching" for her he saw her hat and dorine on the hall table. Now the question that she was asking was this: "How could that girl be out of the house and her dorine there on the table?" It's worrying us too.

About as bad as the senior who told his freshman date that Blake Hall was a fraternity house. She wondered why the building had such a narrow hall, so formed her that the boys had to punch the clock whenever they came in late at night. A couple of days later her parents drove up to visit her brother and sister. About the first thing she did was to show them the wonderful fraternity
M. U. sororites used the preferential method of bidding this year for the first time and found it fairly successful. Each sorority made out a list of the rushes it desired and gave it to Probate Judge H. A. Collier, the neutral party. Each rushie was given a card on which she wrote her choice, first, second, and third. The two candidates were blind when the sorority preferences were matched with those or the rushes.
