"Some of Colleges May be Compared in Many Respects to a Large Fraternity"
"Freedom is the essence and delight of undergraduate life in Oxford, and those who most enjoy it have a strong interest in music, lusus, instructor in the department of political science, in discussing college life at Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes scholar. "The average undergraduates are studying at home during vacations."
"The educational system at Oxford is different from anything we have in America. Each college with its seventy-five to three hundred students may be compared in some respects to a large fraternity and in other to a complete American educational unit," said Mr. Sandelius.
Three Terms at Oxford
The three terms at Oxford are called Hillary, Michaelmas, and Trinity, each of which is eight weeks long. Vaccinations between terms are not less than five weeks in duration, according to Mr. Sandelius. While at Oxford the student 'pend' most of his time engaged in athletics, disheveled by a fever, he wrote the newspaper, enjoying the company of friends, or attending discussions in club meetings and the miniature houses of Commons.
Each student has a tutor assigned who merely suggests lectures and helps guide the studies *o* the student, he said. He may suggest thirteen or ten lectures a week, but the student rarely attends more than six. In fact, he may use an essay must be read to the tutor, who may give general suggestions signifying his views about the subject of the essay. The tutor, however, does not grade the student's work. Two examinations are taken by the student, one at the end of his first year's work and the other at the end of his third year. These exams are set and judged by the university faculty and by members of the university faculty and of members of other universities.
Must Be in by 9 P. M.
Certain restrictions are placed on the students which require them to be inside the gates before 9:00 p.m. in order to be able to wear a rigorous fine, increased every half hour until midnight, is imposed. After midnight the offense is grave, and if it occurs more than once may be required to expulsion of the student from school.
Strict regulations are also observed at the dinner hour after which undergraduates gather in the Junior Common Room either to enter one of the discussion groups or to enjoy the evening with friends. It is the life of books and books and which people come to Oxford, Mr. Sandelius said.
Rebuild Old Power Plant Will be Converted Into Hydraulics Laboratory
After furnishing light and power to the University for fourteen years the old power plant back of Marvin hall is to be converted into a hydraulics laboratory. A small sum is included in the state appropriation for renovating the building and providing new laboratory equipment.
The work of reconstruction has already begun. Two of the boilers which have served fourteen out of a possible life of eighteen years, have been installed at Leavenworth farm at Leavenworth, where they may be used many years under low pressure for heating purposes. During the Easter vacation the direct current generator will be moved from the living room to the electrical laboratory.
Much of the work will be done this summer. A new floor will be placed in the engine room and a corridor to the boiler room. The wall separating the boiler room and mechanical laboratory and most of the former will be included in the laboratory. The equipment may be transferred to the laboratories.
With the additional space and a share of the appropriations, the mechanical laboratory will be brought up to date in regard to equipment. Among the new pieces of apparatus which may be secured are a refrigerating plant, a gas producer, a nofflow steam engine, and a Diesel oil engine.

"Average Ability Plus Willingness to Work Make Success"-Brandt
Not Enough Exposure to Work is Advanced as Reason For Failures
"Given average ability, an incentive and willingness to work, a student is bound to succeed," said J. G. McKenzie, the College in a recent interview.
Dean Brantt said that the reason for many failures on the Hill is that students fail to expose themselves over a long enough period of work. The organization of the school is such that for every hour spent in class the student should spend at least two hours of preparation. If the student does spend the much time in preparation he cannot expect to succeed.
.
"An incentive is an important factor," continued Dean Brant, "but once given an incentive, students seldom fail to measure up to it. The lack of incentive is the cause of many failures. The student should spend the first two years in college exposing himself to the different types of human endeavor, and choose a course with the most sense of direction, and with the application of a willingness to work, he is bound to succeed.
"Students need to learn the use of books. They are the most practical things in the world if used properly. They should know at the end of their college course where to get facts. If the students could be taught to profit from this knowledge, University would mean more to them, they could further the outposts of knowledge, which really is the purpose of the University. Books are valuable bits of human experience. If a student realizes this and profits by it, he has added so many years to his life. If a student is willing to take advantage of people who ought to know, he will find it a good plan."
Dean Brandt also believes that students are often handicapped by economical circumstances. Luxuries of all kinds are handicaps and it is a sensible person that can live them down. He thinks the student who works is just that much ahead, instead of the idea that outside work is often the cause for failures. The student will be better spent and ability will go far longer in spite of handicaps such as lack of funds. Dean Brandt continued to show that these students are the leaders. "It is an important lesson," he said "to learn the human effort spent in earning a dollar."

Psychological Tests Show that Students Lose their Religion As They Approach Graduation
"Are you popular with the opposite sex?"
"Do you have indigestion?"
"Do you believe in these are a few questions chosen by the questionnaire given by Dr. Hulsey Cason to his class of 128 students in psychology recently to gather data to illustrate statistical procedure.
Five questions were asked to determine orthodox-religious faith. In keeping with the commonly expressed opinion that students "lose their religion" during their college career, it was found that seniors had only slightly less orthodox faith than juniors, and juniors only slightly less than sophomores. There was a slight tendency for sophomores to go to both extremes. Women had only twice more orthodox faith than men.
"Do you believe in future life?"
The class had the least confidence in the inspiration of the Bible, more in the authenticity of the miracles, still more in the divinity of Christ, more in future life, and most of all in the goodness and benevolence of God.
Three-fourths of the women were confident of the goodness of God, and nearly as many were confident of the future life. Twenty-six per cent of inverse correspondence was found between orthodox faith and profanity, and 17 per cent inverse correspondence between orthodox faith and devotion. These were practically zero correspondence between orthodox faith on the one hand and dyspepsia, high grades in school, and are on the other.
Six other questions were also asked which had to do more or less with "works" in religion. These questions concerned church, private
Artists' Drawings Cause of Girls' Ugly Postures
A statement agreeing with the opinion expressed by Dr. Martha Bacon, that the posture of the American girl is laxy, slipshod and incorrect, is quoted by the Ohio State Lontern, from an interview with Miss Lyda Krohn, the department chair's training for women at the University of Ohio.
"If the commercial artists were educated, there would be an improvement in posture, because girls see sketches in the modern magazines, and in attempting to pattern after these drawings, assume the poor and
and public prayer, religious performances, etc. There was 14 per cent of correspondence between faith and works, measured in this rough tashion. Only one student had shouted at a religious meeting during the last twelve months but this individual shouted four times.
In spite of the fact that the measure of profanity was subject to a large error, it was found that there was an inverse correspondence between the more profanous and the school—that is, the poorer the student the more the profanity. Profanity is probably influenced by the particular subject the student is majoring in. Calculations show that sophomore students are one-fifth more than junior.
The seniors swear a little more than the sophomores, which is probably due to the fact that there are more things for them to swear at. Zero correspondence was found between profanity and social activities, and number of dates, teas, etc. It would seem that those who have few dates would swear more than those who have many, but apparently those who have a large number of dates swear just about as much as those who have only a few. When asked to rate themselves on a scale, most women top a separate sex, men rated themselves 20 per cent higher than women. Considerable modesty was displayed by both sexes. When asked to report on social proplenetics, women rated themselves at 65 per cent higher than men. According to the reports from the survey, women have about 39 per cent more social activities than the sophomores. These activities drop off 9 per cent in the senior year.
