The University Missourian has a long story in a recent issue devoted to the discussion of the statement of Guglielmo Ferrero, the Italian historian who is now at Columbia, in which he is reported to have stated that the romance of Antony and Cleopatra was not a romance at all, but a mere sordid marriage where gold was bartered for position and position for gold. The professors and instructors in history at the University of Missouri all agree in this view; although most of them lament the fact "that another lemon has been plucked in the garden of science." Of course we hate to see all the pretty stories of the scented barge that bore the Egyptian queen down the Nile, of the fake fishing trip old Mark enjoyed, of the way the gentle lover of the Roman murdered her brother while he slept discredited, but we refuse to lose any sleep over Cleo and Mark. And why should we when we realize that Anna Gould and her Boni have been having as much trouble as the Roman general and his foreign wife ever had, and besides they are not two thousand years dead.

And now Washburn wants to be admitted into the Missouri Valley conference. It might be alright to admit Washburn but Baker, Fairmount and Sumner county high school need not think they too are eligible for membership in the conference.
