^ h e B E E College World Briefs—Continued limelight of achievements. The fol lowing clipping from the Centre Col lege “Cento” explains and exemplifies the spirit that carried the team thru apparently insurmountable barriers to the greatest of successes. It is written by Athletic Director “Chief” Meyers. “Won’t it bring peace to your onery soul to hit the ground a-runnin’ again, and to know and feel that we’re all brothers, out to make the best foot ball team that ever came tearing out of the underbrush? What wouldn’t you give right now to be lined up against Harvard, smashing those big backs to the ground as they come plunging at you? Wouldn’t you like again to hear that stadium yell for Centre like forty thousand wild men? Frosh Eat in Caveman Style “The Targum” of Rutgers College, is loaded with news of the Freshman banquet. It seems that the Sopho mores refused to let the Freshmen hold their banquet and the Freshmen were determined to do so. The result was several injured persons and a bill of $2,400. Incidentally, the Freshmen ate in shifts, one group standing as guare, while the others ate, and vice versa. Princeton to Have Skating Rink A gigantic skating rink with an ice surface of 200 feet by 85 feet is now being erected on the campus at Princ eton. 'The ice is ready for the skaters at the present time, but the structure will not be completed before spring. The rink will have a seating capacity of 2,500 and will be equipped with two dressing rooms, shower baths and lock ers for the teams. The estimated cost of the structure is $250,000. Woodrow Wilson a Six Minute Man At College The Davidsonian, in a special four teen page Woodrow Wilson edition, says this about the school days of its distinguished alumnus: “He (Wilson) roomed in No. 13, Chambers, and there is tradition that he established and maintained the rec- orti as regards the time required to wake and be in his seat in the chapel across the campus from his dormitory. His classmates state that he could be fast asleep when the second bell be gan, start to chapel with his clothes on one arm, dressing with the other, and be in place, neatly clad, when the ringing ceased, six minutes later.” Dr. Fitch Stirs Up Controversy Dr. Fitch recently gave a sermon at Yale University in which he describes college men as being “sniffers at vice” “sentimentalists” and “complicated asses.” This speech has caused consid erable stir among the newspapers, all of which feel that an injustice has been done to the college man. The New York “World” contrasts his re marks with those of fonner Dean Yeo man of Harvard, which picture the present high standards of college men. The “World” suggests that it might | be a case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Harvard Honored by French Gov’t The Harvard Glee Club has received a bronze statuette of the young Mozart from the French Government. The Glee Club took a tour thru France last summer and this is a memorial of appreciation. More Tests for Frosh Adoption of mental alertness tests for prospective freshmen by American universities, in an address today be fore the National Vocational Guidance association, with the reservation that experiments be avoided and that only conservative experienced psycologists and educators be permitted to prepare and grade the tests. “The time has arrived for a new epoch in our system of education,” he said. “It is an epoch in which the form of training will not be determin ed by such standards as the needs of adult society or available courses of instruction but primarily by the needs of the youth to be educated. An essen tial part of such an educational system will be a personnel department to give the requisite vocational direction for it.” The Modern College Man a Worker The modem college student is not a “lounge lizzard” and it is wrong to think of him as spending his summer vacation paddling a canoe, playing a ukulele or dancing to jazz music, R. W. Husband of Dartmouth College, told one of the group meetings of the National Educational Association to day. Ninety per cent of the undergradu ates he said, spend their summers in shops and factories, law offices and banks. Some work in service stations or machine shops, while others act as soda dispensers. Mr. Husband told how the college men w'ere card indexed and “silhou ettes” so that a glance would deter mine just what profession each was most adapted to and what measure of success a student was likely to reach. “We begin to grade our young men as soon as they come in,” he said. “At the end of the senior year, we give each a profile card—a picture of himself—expressing numerically his actual attainments and his future possibilities.” No More Joyrides at Princeton The President of Princeton Univer sity has written to the parents and guardians of all undergraduates sug gesting that the automobile is a “pos itive detriment” to the search for knowledge within scholastic walls. Dr. Hibben believes that “it would be de sirable if students at Princeton, dur ing the formative periods of their lives, would realize the value to them selves and their fellows of simplicity in living and of the elimination of un- necessarv luxuries.” A great many college Presidents and a multitude of parents will say “Amen.” Continued from Page 1 University Day Observed by Exercises dium is under way which will give to the University athletics a prestige hitherto undreamed of. An innovation was the appearance of undergraduates on the speakers’ platform, who spoke on student act ivities. Robert Stickney spoke regard ing athletics in the Univeitiity. Freer Hall spoke on activities in general, explaining the rapid rise of the Dra matic Club under Mrs. D. B. Leary, the Glee Club and the Debate Club. E. 0. Ebersole spoke on publications. The principal speaker was Dr. Kerr D. MacMillan, of Wells College, who spoke on “The College Home.” Dr. MacMillan said, “The most important problem in American colleges and uni versities at the present time, is the building up of a proper ‘esprit de corps.’” He explained the reasons for the existence of the great evil in tht> fraternity and athletic systems of the present day.. The speaker implied that the herding together of college students in swarms was detrimental, since the desirable contact between the students themselves and the faculty was lost. The program was well rounded out by the musical clubs, which led in the singing. The meeting was adjourned with the singing of the “Alma Mater.” ROOFS The road is wide and the stars are out and the breath of the night is sweet And this is the time when wanderlust should seize upon my feet. But I ’m glad to turn frpm the open road and the starlight on my face, And to leave the splendor of out-of- doors for a human dwelling place. I never have seen a vagabond who really liked to roam All up and down the streets of the world and not to have a home. The tramp who slept in your bam last night and left at break of day Will wander only until he finds an other place to stay. A gypsy-man will sleep in his cart with canvas overhead; Or else he’ll go into his tent when It is time for bed. He’ll sit on the grass and take his ease, so long as the sun is high. But when its’ dark he wants a roof to keep away the sky. If you call a gypsy a vagabond, I think you do him wrong. For he never goes a travelling but he takes his home along. And the only reason a road is good, as every wanderer knows, Is just because of the homes, the homes, the homes to which it goes. They say that life is a highway and its milestones are the years. And now and then there’s a toll-gate where you buy your way with tears. It’s a rough road and a steep road and it stretches broad and far. But at last it leads to a golden Town where golden Houses are.
