YE COLLEGE EDITOR
The life of ye college editor is a joyous one. Indeed yes; it's a cinch.
Why, all that a fellow has to do is to approach the typewriter confidently, sit down before it and bang away, praise and censure every activity in a manner that meets the approval of all.
There's the faculty—ye ed must pat the faculty on the back in one paragraph and lampoon it unmercifully in the next and all the while speak as though nothing else was true.
Ye ed must pacify "Indignant Subscriber" and wheedle "Contributor" into the belief that the only reason that his poem wasn't used on the front page is because news was so plentiful. And when a poem is used, there is a joyful occasion in the office when 18 communications arrive, that tell how rotten the paper is and ask if the editor was feeling bad the day that the offending article appeared.
Ye ed gets the blame when the circulation department is bum and the paper isn't delivered regularly. The circulation manager has a continual grouch because the paper was late and missed the mail. All the fault of ye ed.
But here's the rub—the students demand humor—levity—anything but serious articles such as yea ed is capable of producing. There's the strain. A continual effort to write something bright, something to cause a smile. The pity of it all is that everyone hasn't such a highly developed sense of humor as the writer. Consequently his best paragraphs are lost and called inane.
On festal holiday occasions, when other students are enjoying life hugely and indulging in their natural laziness, ye ed must buckle down to work and grind out copy like this.
All the above could be passed over without a murmur. The bane of yed's existence is the eligibility committee. For however strange it may sound, fifteen hours work must be carried which means that once in a while yed must ed ease his wearied brain with study. If you don't believe it, just ask the E. C.
CHARACTER.
A quotation from the "money trust" inquiry:
I know lots of men, business men, too, who can borrow any amount, whose credit is unquestioned.
Mr. Morgan said:
Is that not because it is believed that they have the money back of them?
No, sir; it is because people believe in the man.
And it is regardless of whether he has any financial backing at all, is it?
And he might not be worth any thing?
It is very often.
have known a man to come into my office and I have given him a check for a million dollars when I knew he had not a cent in the world.
There are not many of them?
Yes, a good many.
Commercial credits are based upon the possession of money or property?
Money or property or character.
Is not commercial credit based upon money or property? '
No, sir; the first thing is character.
Before money or pronemy?
Before money, or anything else.
Money cannot buy it.
So that a man with character, without anything at all behind it, can get all the credit he wants, and a man with the property cannot get it?
That is very often the case.
But is that the rule of business?
That is the rule of business, sir.
If that is the rule of business, Mr. Morgan, why do the banks demand—the first thing they ask—a statement of what the man has before they extend him credit?
That is a question which—that is what they go into; but the first thing they say is, I want to see your record.
Yes; and if his record is a blank the next thing is how much he has got?
People do not care then.
For instance, if he has got government bonds, or railroad bonds, and goes in to get credit, he gets it, and on the security of those bonds, does he not?
Yes.
He does not get it on his face or his character, does he?
Yes, he gets it on his character.
I see; then he might as well take the bonds home, had he not?
A man I do not trust could not get money from me on all the bonds in Christendom.
That is the rule all over the world? .
I think that is the fundamental basis of business.
HERE'S HOPING.
Here's hoping that everyone is able to hit their stride and get back into harness again at least a week before the finals.
And here's hoping that the faculty will be careful with quizzes this week.
And here's hoping the vainest hope of all—that everyone studied a little during the holidays.
HOME.
How seems it to be back again with quizzes but a few days off, a world of studying to do and the mind filled with thoughts of good times at home, that cannot be repeated until Easter vacation begins? Pretty tough touch to most of us.
Home and vacation are stimulating to a certain degree, but it's surely hard to get back to work again. The mind goes off at a tangent, so to speak, and English history becomes muddled with calcubes and so forth.
Gradually, however, the effects of vacation will wear away, and the students begin to live in the present and future instead of in the past. And after finals are over, provided that no red cards are received, the outlook ought to be encouraging. Easter is not far off.
Work has been begun at Princeton on the construction of a new $7,000 gateway at the northwest corner of university field, the Princeton varsity athletic park. The cost of erection will be met from the $25,000 fund which was presented to the Princeton University Athletic association by Cyrus McCormick of Chicago, a graduate of Princeton in the class of 1879, in honor of the 1912 team, of which Cyrus McCormick, jr., was a member.
