EDITORIAL COMMENT
A professor in the University of Colorado says that the modern student is becoming a better stenographer than a student, that is, that he copies down more in his note book than he ever gets in his head. The system of trying to take notes on reading is perhaps responsible for this condition. It always has been a mystery to us how a student can assimilate the ideas of Comte, Spencer, Fiske or Ward and at the same time fill a note book. But the fact of the matter is the ideas are not assimilated. It is a well known fact that court reporters and newspaper men are able to report court proceedings or a public speech without themselves being conscious of what is going on. So it is with most of the note-taking students. Page after page is read but the ideas pass through the brain like waer through a sieve. All the information contained in the note books is not worth an iota to the student for he cannot usually understand it when at the end of the term he tries to translate what his uncoconscious self wrote down. He throws his labored compilation aside and the dust soon covers the accomplishments of a college career. The Colorado professor might have said, which he didn't, that if a student wants to make Phi Beta Kappa he had better keep a note book, but if he wants to become a scholar he had better pay a little more attention to the subject and less attention to the movements of his hand.
The idea of organizing a club among the faculty members of the University and building a club house, furnished with reception rooms, a cafe and all the accessories that are wont to make it a central place of meeting for those who are fortunate enough to belong is a good one from more than one point of view. We hear a good deal of talk about the lack of social opportunities for a large part of the student body, but did it ever occur that among the faculty
members there is even a less chance for social intercourse. The student body has its fraternities and boarding clubs that afford the nucleus for social activities; the faculty members have no such organizations. It is good to have permanency in the student body but perhaps it would be better to have permanency in the faculty body and a more congenial social atmosphere amnog the faculty members might be a means of helping to secure this.
The Baker Orange is either more lucky or more tactful than the Kansan. It modestly admits that whatever it advocates meets with a "storm of approval," but then from the action of the students a few days ago, it may be taken for granted that storms are more easily brewed at Baker than in the University.
The woman who wears a towering hat at the theatre, the man who snores aloud at church and the student who tries to supplement every remark in a professor's lecture with some of his own for the benefit of those around him, all belong to the same class of nuisances.
IN OTHER COLLEGES.
The University of Missouri has proved by figures that food costs more in Columbia than in towns of similar size and location over the state.
The freshmen of California recently passed a vote of censure on the Daily Californian for the poor way the paper advertised and reported freshmen meetings.
The Daily Nebraskan is another school paper bewailing the fact that their football team is not down to form.
A straw ballot was held at the University of Missouri this week. Bryan got 364 votes, Taft 251, Debs 98, Chafin 74, and Hisgen 15.
Missouri is trying to get the Iowa football players to divest themselves of their "horness" in the Missouri-Iowa game next Saturday. The Iowans wear a strap around their chests and underneath their Jerseys. In this way the players can pull each other along.
The Chicago team is very light this year. The guards weigh only 164 pounds and the other men are lighter yet. The team is making a showing however. It is fast and clever.
The fraternities cannot pledge men until after the first mid semester examination at Nebraska.
Washington starts track training this week. The men train out doors all winter.
Chicago has started a preparatory course in consular service. Yale, Harvard, Columbia and George Washington also offer such a course.
A Bryan-Republican club has been organized at Minnesota.
Three good rooms for rent in new modern house just finished. See D. G. Smith or call up 1520 New Hampshire.
