SCHOOLS OF JOURNALISM
In proportion as society refines new books must ever become more necessary.-Goldsmith.
Interesting to all who are interested in the teaching of journalism in Colleges and universities is the following editorial from the "Editor and Publisher," issue of Nov. 27:
"Ten years ago trained newspaper men jailed at the idea of teaching journalism; five years ago the members of the older order continued to look upon its products with suspicion that was tinged with amusement; today schools of journalism are exerting a greater influence on the profession of newspaper making than any other single factor.
"Early slepticism has given way to constructive suggestions by master craftsmen who have found that the graduates of the schools of journalism are well equipped in the science of writing and make more substantial progress than unscholored rats.
"Great editors and great writers will continue to come from the backwoods and the back-lots, as well as from places of higher education, and the increasing number of schools of journalism and the high type of teachers they are attracting will find a way to inculcate the higher ideals absolutely essential to success in the profession of journalism.
"The Joseph Modil School o. Journalism of Northwestern University, named in honor of the late Joseph Modil, the far seeing and able editor of the Chicago Tribune, is a welcome addition to the field of education. Its possibilities or good in the interest of state and nation are unlimited."
HAVE YOU READ IT?
From "This Side of Paradise," a distinctive and much-talked-of book of the season, may be drawn many truths regarding college life. The writer, F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a Princeton man and has put into the volume what seems to be an autobiographical account of his life, before and after college as well as during the time spent there.
Filgeralde is a young man, and his book is strictly modern. The hero, Amory Blaine, goes to war, but in accordance with what seems to be the trend of modern writers to avoid war scenes, that part of his life is covered in an "interlude" consisting of two letters.
The story is presented disjointly. A great deal of space is given to the rather good poetry the hero writes; part of it is in the form of drama, and the balance is in interrupted though complete episodes.
"What's the swimming pool for?" is the question asked every day by hundreds of students.
"SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI"
"Sic transit gloria mundi."
"Sie transit gloria mundi."
Such were the parting words of Charles Ponzi confessed "get richchief" schemer, after he was sentenced to five years in prison. Ponzi scribbled the message on a memorandum pad and handed it to a reporter as his final word to the public on being found guilty of the first of 86 charms against him.
Until the meeting of his 11,000 creditors in Boston next week, no one will know how many million dollars Ponzi extracted from investors by the golden lure of huge interest. Ponzi was a Napoleon of fricken fiance on the grand scale, but his bubble palace lasted only a few months.
"Sic transcit gloria mund!" may as fittingly be the parting words of Kith Collins, the brains of the $35,000 train robbery, who has just confessed and turned part of his loot over to officers. Collins had only two weeks of liberty with the money he thought would bring happiness, and during this time was able to dispose of only $1,800.
Both Collins and Ponzi, exponents of a scale that would make dishonesty pay if it ever did, were unable to stay the unerring finger of justice. And both, it may be assumed, feel relieved of an immeasurable burden now that the weight of their guilt has been lightened by becoming common knowledge.
Charles Ponzi, doubtless lay awake many a night before the collapse of his postal copper scheme, speculating on the chance of an invester's being unusually shrewd, or a Department of Justice agent striving a hot trail. And Keith Collins probably saw in every stranger who regarded him during his two weeks at large as a "cop" with every moment a fear lost his large "col" attract attention. During their respective periods of freedom, both men spent much time planing their rainbow lives when once they were far and away. Luxuries undreamed of before, careers of indulgence and ease, the delights of some fare-off country, but—"Sie trans gloria mundi."
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
A SLUMBER CAMPAIGN
Press reports say that University of Missouri women average only six and a half hours' sleep each night. The Y. W. C. A. at Columbia is conducting a campaign to impress upon the co-ads the necessity of eight hours' slumber, and visitors to the Tiger campus last week noticed and commented on the numerous posters with legends such as "Get Eight Hours' Sleep and Let Others." There is little essential difference either in temperament or in habits between the M U. women and the Kansas co-cd. Hence it may be presumed that the same situation, as yet undisclosed by any investigation such as the Missouri Y. W. conducted, exists at Kansas. The situation is just a urgent here, since health authorities agree eight hours' sleep are necessary to proper functioning of the human organism. But the solution of the problem is infinitely more difficult at
Fully half the women at the University of Missouri are housed in dormitories, and it is probable that one of the first steps taken by the W. W. C. A. in its campaign there will be the obtaining of legislation relative to "lights out" and rising hours. Then, by securing the co-operation of the co-operation of the sorority and other organized houses, the problem
But at Kansas, no campaign save one of education and student sentiment would be successful. Legislation there might be but the means of enforcing it would be insufficient. "Halls of residence," such as are asked by Chancellor Lindley in the last University News Letter, would be an almost indispensable factor in what even "good health" campaign of this or any other nature the University of Kansas might elect to conduct.
will be near a solution.
A class in bricklaying will be organized in Kansas City, Kansas, night schools. Next we shall expect to hear that a Union has been formed.

Campus Opinions
Editor University Daily Kansan:
The editorial in the Kansan last evening regarding an Athletic Employment Agency furnishes something for every loyal Kansan to think about. Very few of us realize how many of our students have been trapped away from the University of Kansas to other school, simply because of inducements for employment. Many do not attend school at all because we receive no definite promise of work.
I received several letters prior to the opening of school this year from such men who preferred to attend K. U, but sat them they would ultimately receive documents for employment were given. I gave them all the encouragement I could, but Lawrence is too small a city to give equal opportunities for employment . unless we have fuller cooper man has her heftico been manifested.
In our canvas of the city last summer we found some business men who preferred having athletics to work for them, and I am if this proposition was presented to them in this way students would be required that a job should be for The University, Y. M. C. A. employment agency is anxious to help deserving students in every way it can. We feel too, that those who have to battle to get through school are the men that the University of Kansas needs. Since the Athletic office is in office, they would gladly cooperate with them in securing good positions for these men. There were more than a hundred permanent positions on file in my office at the opening of school, and of course it is 'wirst come, first' because they are in need of material could be brought in touch with us before the opening of school it would help a great deal in solving the problem.

In he Cornell Daily Sun there appears a lengthy discussion of the arguments for and against a captain for their football team. Cornel has been without a football captain this year and this has aroused quite a little discussion among the students and alumni.
On Other Hills
The chief feature of the Ohio State Stadium which makes it superior to most other stadium is the fact that the interior of the stadium is to be utilized, while the others are not but masses of large rooms, which will be used for indoor practice, patriotic demonstrations, pageants, automobile shows, and industrial expositions. Two teams-rooms with lockers and showers will be provided one for the visually impaired. A storage room will take care of the temporary stage, which will be built for commencement exercises.
So reads the pledge that must be signed by an alumna at the end of every sorority dance at Northwestern University. According to Dean Mary Rose Potter, by whom the pledge was issued, every dance given on the campus in the future will be funded by the sorority, under whose auspices the affair is held. This alumna is responsible for signing the pledge.
One of the largest enrollments in a single class has been recorded at the University of California. More than 150,000 students undergraduate history lecture course.
"This to certify that during the dance just finished I saw no shimmying, cheek to cheek dancing, or any other objectional feature."
It is the idea of Mr. Doble, head coach at Cornell, to do away with the captain of the football team. Doubtless his theory is that when there is a football captain the team consists of a captain and ten men, and when there is no captain the team consists of eleven men. Dobble wards eleven men.
pledge.
Dr. Gardner of the Political Science Department of the University of Cincinnati believes that dormitories are necessary to relieve the living conditions of students outside of the town. These students are forced to pay exorbitant prices for their rooms. He believes that they would take advantage of the dormitory offered from the students would help to pay for the dormitory and at the same time be a saving for the student.
Mr. Gardner believes that the dormitories should be the first improvement made at the University of Cincinnati.
Ninety-six women are enrolled in the department of architecture at the University of Illinois and two in the department of mechanical engineering. Up to the year nine women have worked at the state institution.
The question revolves itself into the problem of which system produces the most unified eleven; which produces the best working machine on the field? One alumnus made the following analysis of the question. He said: "A team doesn't need a captain when it is piling up points, but when it hits a stone wall and is getting moved there ought to be someone who can put the kick into it. Everyone is feeling fine when he is winning, and who is going to drive out he blues when things aren't so well?"
Aeronautics is a course of study which may be offered at the University of Michigan, according to the Michigan Daily.
Purdue university students have pledged $325,333 to the million dollar fund being raised by the Purdue Union for a student memorial building. This brings the total to more than $550,000.
