Pier. Marinette, as instructor in English and resident supervisor at Ormsby hall, girls' dormitory, was announced Friday by Dr. H. M. Wriston, president of Lawrence College.

Miss Pier attend, d Oberlin col­lege for three years and received an A.B. degree at Mount Holyoke college in 1933. She will receive a Master of Arts degree at the Uni­versity of Chicago this month.

Dr. Wriston also announced the appointment of Dr. Henry Meyer of Ann Arbor. Mich., as instructor in biology at Lawrence.

Dr. Meyer received his A.B. de­gree at Calvin college. Grand Rap­ids, Mich., in 1930, an M.S. degree at the University of Michigan in 1931 and a Ph.D. degree at the University of Michigan this year. He was an assistant in zoology at Michigan from 1930 to 1934 in courses in comparative anatomy, embryology, zoology, comparative physiology and histology. During the 1934-35 academic year he was instructor in zoology, teaching in the field of comparative anatomy.

Corvallis, Ore. — (Special» — Grade point computations at Ore­gon State and the University of Oregon next year will be made under a new plan adopted mainly for simplification of the system to students, faculty and parents, ac­cording to reports released by E. B. Lemon, registrar, recently. The University of Oregon will inaugu­rate the system next fall at the same time it is accepted by Oregon state, since it has been approved by the college administrative coun­cil.

Dropping of the minus grade points for a grade of F and increas­ing by one the number of grade points received for other grades are the features of the plan. Grade points will be given next year in a manner similar to the present aet- up, but will differ in number.

Four grade points per credit will be given for A grades, three for each credit of B, two for any credit of C, one for a D credit and no grade points will be subtracted from the student's records for fail­ing a course.

No disarrangement will be made in the scholastic standing of stu­dents, Lemon explained. The new plan is different only that it calls for twice as many grade points to qualify seniors for graduation. These additional grade points may be obtained by students getting the same grades next year that he is getting this year in that the in­creased number of grade points to be given justifies the increased scholastic requirements.

Next year the minimum grade will be 1.000 instead of zero as it is now. Students returning to school next fall will find they have their grade standing increased by 1.00 This change «’ill be in ac­cordance with the raise in grade point requirements, which is one point for each credit. For example, if a student leaves school this year with 45 credits and 45 grade points he will resume his work next fall with 45 credits and 90 grade points.

President Reviews Changes and Pol i c ie s a t T ru s tee Meeting

“The charge that the universities and colleges are radical seems to me utterly absurd.'' Dr. H. M. Wris­ton, president of Lawrence college, said in his annual report to the board of trustees this morning. “This institution,'’ Dr. Wriston said, “has an admirable record. I hope that in this period of difficulty and tension the fine tradition of this col­lege may be maintained by all the elements of our constituency."

’’Academic freedom is imperiled whenever other privileges of a free people are placed in jeopardy." he said. “During political immaturity there is a want of stability in all political institutions which makes freedom of any kind a precarious adventure. Academic freedom comes only with full maturity and the resultant stability. When polit­ical institutions decay and are re­placed by some type of dictatorship which impairs or destroys freedom generally, academic freedom also disappears. In several European states the right of the professor to study what lies within the field of his professional competence and to publish freely the results of his competent investigations has been utterly destroyed.

“The fact that the issue of academic freedom is now so acutely before the American people is, therefore, only one evidence of the hysteria which marks our times. Of ail counties in the world England and America have exhibited the

most stable freedom, and first in England and later in America there developed the right of the profes sor to give free expression to his professional opinions.

Alumni Conservation“Today the universities and col­

leges are confronted with accusa tions of radicalism. What are the facts? Certainly no one has pre­sented any to the public which would support that charge against instructions generally. It is an un­challenged fact that the alumni of the universities and colleges of America constitute one of the most conservative elements in our popu­lation. Every student poll taken at election times has shown marked conservative drift. As for faculties, it is notorious that by the nature of their scholarly training and ex­perience they tend toward con­servatism in all their outlooks.

“When then does the charge arise? Because, in the first place, the small minority who have radi­cal leanings tend to be the most vocal. In the second place, with the fatal tendency to argue from the particular to the general the newspaper discussions of the "brain trust" have lent color to this charge. When one studies the matter it is immediately observed that even among the academic advisers call­ed from time to time to the service of the government conservatives have outnumbered the radicals. It

Dr. Guy Stanton Ford, Dean of the graduate school of the Univer­sity of Minnesota, gave the com* mencement address. The speaker at the baccalaureate service at the Lawrence Memorial Chapel on Sunday was the Rt. Rev. Harwood Sturtevant, bishop of the Fond du Lac diocese of the Episcopal Church, while the Phi Beta Kappa address was given this year by Dr. Harold Scott Quigley of the Uni* versity of Minnesota.

College (iraduates’ ’Own Inertia'' 1«

Tlieir Big ObstacleTuscaloosa, Ala. — (Special) —

“The difficulty college graduate* experience in obtaining employ­ment is due in great part to their own inertia," Dr. Burton Morley, professor of economics at the Uni­versity of Alabama, declared re­cently in an interview.

“The better half of my graduat­ing class — those with the better scholastic and extra-curricular rec­ords—usually have little trouble, for most of them will be employed within a period of not more than six months after graduation," Dr. Morley explained “It is those who graduate in the lower half of a class—the ‘C’ and ‘D’ students who engage in no campus activities— who present the problem.”

Wriston Says Red (iharges Against (Colleges Untrue

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

fs inevitable that an administration, in choosing advisers, should choose thn?e whose outlook most nearly matches its own, and amon£ the many thousands of university and college professors there are bound to be those who hold similar views with the political officers who se­lect them.

"The charge, therefore, that the universities and coll'ges are radical seems to be utterly absurd. That there are some persons in those in­stitutions who are radical is beyond cavil. They fall into two groups; first, those whose opinions are the opinions of American citizens and without any special professional competence. They speak as citizens and not as scholars They hold no mandate from their institutions, and, on the other hand, their in­stitutions do not seek and should not seek to control either their po­litical opinions or the expression thereof. There is another group composed very largely of those who teach the political and social sciences who must of necessity deal professionally with controversial issues like the tariff, foreign trade, and taxation, and whose profession­al expressions, whether we agree with them or not, are privileged u t­terances.

Han Admirable Record""This institution has an admir­

able record. The faculty are schol­ars who teach many controversial issues. Mr. Bober, for example, has written illuminatingly about Karl Marx. For years Mr. McCona- gha has taught the course dealing with socialism, communism and an­archism. It is a striking tribute to their professional bearing that those who speak professionally on controversial subjects have estab­lished a reputation for fairness, for balance and for tolerance of other people’s ideas, and that those whose political views are the expression of their private citizenship have, on the whole, been sensitive to the quasi-public character of the insti­tution and have not drawn it into their personal activities.

“It is equally important and a matter for real congratulation that the board of trustees has not sought to exercise pressure directly or in­directly upon the investigations, the publications, or the expression of professional opinion on the part of the faculty, and they have not been unduly sensitive to the occasional participation of members of the faculty in public discussions on controversial issues.

"Finally, the student body has shown admirable restraint in with­holding their support from such futile and fantastic performances as the recent “peace strike” and other demonstrations which are ,to be interpreted far more as evi­dences of immaturity and misdi­rected idealism than of radicalism.”

Reviewing the history of the T.awrence curriculum over the last 10 years. Dr. Wriston pointed to a number of changes and said that the significance of the college course as a genuine experience of an intellectual, social, aesthetic and emotional kind has been made the keynote of the whole program.

Steadily there has come a subtle but a very significant change in the conception of a "major." As orig­inally introduced in American col­legiate life, the major was intended as an educational experience. Slow­ly it became a crystallization of the student’s vocational objective and took on more and more the aspect of training. In the last ten years there has been a steady drift back to the original conception of the major as an aspect of a liberal edu­cation. The courses which are i primarily training courses have j been eliminated in favor of those ’ which loi'k to a broadened intel- ! lectual life, the Lawrence president ‘ stated.

“The great achievement of the ¡ faculty during the last 10 years is ' the establishment of a perfectly | s s clear objective and a program de- j 2 5

signed to realize that objective. The great curse of middle western cdU‘ cation has been the multiplication of pseudo-vocational courses and the substitution of poorly conceived units of training material in place of soundly grounded historical and philosophical subjects. All that kind of training material of medi ocre quality has been eliminated,’ he said.

"The 10 years have been a steady drift of emphasis away from the curriculum in its formal aspects to­ward the student and his responsi­b ly for his own education. To that end the tutorial method was intro­duced in several departments and it has been spreading from one de­partment to another. As a result, we are offering very many fewer courses today than 10 year ago. The structure of the curriculum has been simplified, and the courses of­fered have been greatly reduced. However, the range of work carried on by individual students may still be as broad as, or even more far- reaching than, before.

“There has come a new respect for examinations as part of educa­tional experience. Ten years ago senior in good standing took no fi­nal examinations. From that situa- tio to a required comprehensive ex­amination for all seniors is a long step. However, it ought to be em­phasized that the examination is not given an exclusive place in our judgment. It is one element, an im­portant one, but it does not swallow up all of the other items which en­ter into our estimate of the student's success or failure.

"The change in faculty training the last 10 years is reflected in the fact that in 1925-26 there were 19 Doctor's of Philosophy on the staff of whom only one held a rank be­low that of full professor. There are now 26 of whom 6 hold rank less than that of full professor. Ten years ago here were sixteen with Master of Arts degree; now there are twenty-four. In 1925-26 there were 12 who held no degree more advanced than the bachelor's de­gree. Now there are only five. There were then three with no degrees at all and none at the present time. Thtse statistics show healthy pro­gress toward a well trained faculty.

“The temper of the students has been admirable,’’ Dr. Wriston said. "Those long familiar with the in­stitution have aga' and again ex­pressed the opinion that never have there been ,-nore enthusiasm, more evidence of balance and good judg­ment than this year.

"The number of students dismiss­ed from college for disciplinary rea­sons has fallen to insignificant pro­portions and the number of cases of discipline of any kind coming be­fore the administration committee is very small indeed.'

Lauds Students"One of the outstanding aspects

of experience in the last ten years is the improvement in quality of the student body The intelligence tests and other tests give adequate statis­tical evidence on *.iat point. The present favorable situatior has been brought about however not so much by refusing admission to stu­dents, for that has been relatively infrequent, but by a steady process of self-selection. The reputation of the institution among high school principals and the public at large has led the poorer students not to seek admission t the institution. It has brought us steadily a better and better group of students,’’ he stated.

"College procedures tend to be strongly tinged with conservatism. In consequence, very little use .‘'.as been made of visual education in

teaching at the college level. During the year i> committee has explored that problem as far as Lawrence college is concerned. It found a wide-spread interest on the part of the faculty and a readiness to at­tempt something if th i facilities could be provided. Professor Mac- Harg has for years been an en­thusiast in this field and has done work of a high quality in the prep­aration of materials for his own use. Therefore he has been relieved of half of his teaching for next year and will devote half his time to the preparation of visual material to be used in tne various departments of the college.”

New Books AddedThe library has continued to do

art work, including a number of admirable work, including a num­ber of special exhibits of books and art work, the college president said. Gifts from the jstate of Este'le Reid and from that of Iva Bigelow Weaver made possible the purchase of books in art and in music in ad­dition to the valuable gift of books in nusic from the Carnegie corpo­ration. The establishment of the In­stitute of Paper Chemistry library with two librarians in charge has made available to the staff and stu­dents a magnificent collection with­in its special field.

"The conservatory and the col­lege continue to draw closer to­gether. A department of fine arts has been organized, involving the correlation of the work in the con­servatory, the work in dramatics, and the work in art. They have worked out a joint program for the major on a splendid basis. Cours­es in the conservatory have been reorganized to make them more at­tractive and appropriate to stu­dents in the liberal arts college," Dr. Wriston said.

He also briefly reviewed the progress of the Institute of Paper Chemistry and the work being done at the college infirmary.

"During no year have we had such a large number of distinguish­ed visitors to the college,” he said. "We have had experts in examina­tion techniques and in art, repre­sentatives of the great educational foundations, officers of universities and colleges, of educational asso­ciations, and many others. Some of them were drawn to Lawrence be­cause they were investigating as- spects of American education .and had heard that Lawrence was alert and forward-looking in its proce­dures. Naturally, all of them were, as experts tend to be, extremely critical in their approach. It is gratifying that in each instance they expressed themselves as fav­orably impressed with the program and with the plans for develop­ment. Several who heard the A Cappella choir regarded it as a m o s t significant educational achievement.

Study Fraternities“Afrionfi other visitors have been

officers of national fraternities in­terested in the possible establish­ment of chapters here. The visit of one such group led to the in­stallation in April of a chapter of Delta Tau Delta. Thus within a year of the coming of Phi Delta Theta another of the older and well-established fraternities has come on the campus.

“This board has a committee con­sisting of Messrs. Banta, Rasey and Tippet which is studying the whole situation in co-operation with Messrs. Watts, Barrows, and my­self with a view of laying out a general program and policy for fra­ternity life. There can be no ques­tion that properly influenced, both by the national organizations and by the college administration, the

fraternities can be a distinct edu­cational asset.”

A 10-year review of our endow­ment assets shows some growth. The general endowment fund:, have in­creased from *1,397,741 to $1,452,833. an increase of $55,092. Scholarship, loan and prize funds have increased from $89,878 to vl69,122, an increase of $79,244. Neither of these figures is as large today as once it was. The general endowment fund in 1930 was over $100,000 more than at present. Part of the apparent loss represents changes in accounting rirocedures, h<- said.

Plan Assets GainA 10-year review of our plant

assets shows a sound gain, from $1,- 217,631 to $l,811,i72, and increase of $593,541. The principal additions to plant have been, first of all, the south campus, the new gymnas­ium, the Plantz Memorial Organ, and the cnlargment ana improve­ment of Whiting Field. If account were taken of the Institute of Paper Chemistry there would be a very large addition to the total plant as­sets.

"All the repairs and improvments made at the dormitories have been paid for out of current income dur­ing these ten years. Excluding the expenditures from insurance after the fire at Brokaw Hall during the fiscal year, 192T-26, we have ex­pended a little over $110,000 on re­pairs and improvements to the dormitories. The amount very small in 1926-27, $4,<>35, and very large last year, $21,5U), when extensive changes were made at Ormsby Hall. This expenditure ha; not been adequate, nevertheless it has led to some marked improvements in our Dormitory situation. There is no deficit in that account.

Pointing out that six members of the faculty retired last year and one. Dr. R. C. Mullenix, professor of zoology, this year, Dr. Wriston paid high tribute to Dr. Mullenix.

Mullenix Praised"Both as a teacher and as an ad­

ministrative officer, he has dis­played a lively interest in students and a keen sensitiveness to their problems and needs. He has main­tained his scholarly interests, and in his last sabbatical leave of ab­sence devoted his attention to re­search. He has taken particular and justifiable pride in the record made by his students in the medi­cal schools. He has made, there­fore, a significant contribution to several vital aspects of the life of the college, he said.

Dr. Wriston also lauded the work of Dr. James L. Mursell who re­signed to accept an associate pro­fessorship at Teachers college, Columbia university, stating in part:

“His facility and skill in expres­sion, his fertility of ideas and his sound training made him a singu­larly stimulating colleague and one whose opinions were always in­teresting and suggestive. We lose him with regret which is tempered by the knowledge that he is going to an appointment singularly adapt ed to his particular interests and activities and where the facilities for writing will be even greater than they have been at Lawrence.”

Lewis Outlines Growth, Work of

Paper InstituteBetween 9 0 and 100 Mills

Now Connected W ith G raduate School

Five Degr<At C<

Between 90 and 100 mills, scat­tered over the United States, now are connected with the Institute of Paper Chemistry, Dean Harry F. Lewis of the institute told giadu- ates attending the fifth annual Lawrence alumni college, Thurs­day morning. The institute, h* said, started with only Wisconsin mills as members, five years ago.

The institute, he said, has and is carrying out a three fold purpose, technical training, research and provision of library facilities. It started with three students but has had 80 in the last five years and has conferred 10 Ph.D. and 38 M A. degrees.

It must combine academic with practical accomplishments, he ex­plained, making the doctor of phil­osophy degrees acceptable on the basis of academic standards and making the practical training of students effective.

Work in MillsThe block system of study, rather

than the usual college method of hours, has worked to an advantage. In addition to the institute work, an attempt is being made to get aa much of the laboratory work in the mills as possible, he said. That plan was started this year with surveys, in two mills, providing actual pa­per mill experience for the gradu­ate students.

The institute, working in a new field, has faced a problem of edu­cating educators, its instructor« planning new courses in which they themselves have had little ex­perience.

Men who get degrees from the institute. Dr. Lewis said, must be good. If graduates are placed in mills and fail, it reflects on the in­stitute itself.

Part of the student’s work in the institute is to gather his own li­brary so that when he gets into a mill where library facilities are poor, he will have the necessary data to solves mill problems.

As an additional service, the in­stitute library issues publications each month to member mills, offer­ing the mills the opportunity to re» quest and get additional informa* tion. charts and data on matters in which they are particularly inter­ested. Each year an abstract ot the institute publications is published.

Dr. Lewis was the second speak­er in the opening session of the alumni college. Dean Thomas N. Barrows of the college opened the program with a review of the past year at Lawrence, changes in en­trance requirements and new pol­icies of the administration.

Little Things in Life Count, Experiment

In College ProvesLos Angeles, Calif.—(Special) —

It's the "little things in life" that are most apt to get in one's hair and under one’s skin if results of an experiment conducted recently by a psychology student at Los An­geles Junior college prove any­thing, for in a list of ‘‘annoyances” checked by a number of subjects, details such as earthquakes and tor­nadoes were completely ignored.

In carrying out the experiment, lists of 10 annoyances were made by the subjects, and these “pet pecvs" were in turn compiled into complete lists to be marked as either extremely, moderately, or slightly annoying, not annoying at all, or a situation that has never been met.

Men agree that back seat driv­ing is extremely annoying, but listening to baby talk is considered the worst possible annoyance. Loud girls, excess use of makeup, and bitten fingernails also bother men.

Uncleanliness annoys w o m e n most of all, and quarrelsome people are next in line. Co-eds evidently do not like conceited people, as ‘‘people who know it all,” and braggarts were high in percentage among the "peeve*.” College men should know that when they keep their "dates" waiting, they are ag­gravating them to the uttermost degree.

meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union in Milwaukee on Friday. The meeting was the initial one for the organization in this state the pur­pose being to formulate plans for organizing an A. A. U, gorup in Wisconsin.

English Courses in Foreign Literature

Dispose of PoniesDartmouth— Ponies, those handy

little books which college students fall back on when their foreign language reading gets too rough, will be of no more use at Dart­mouth college, at least in two lan­guage courses, as a result of a de­cision by the college administra­tion to conduct courses in Italian and French literature, using En­glish translations for the text books.

No knowledge of the language will be required in either of the courses. The two new additions to the curriculum will treat the liter­ature of the countries as a neces­sary accompaniment of the society of the time and as a contribution to the respective civilizations.

The idea was suggested in edi­torials of the Daily Dartmouth, stu­dent newspaper, and will be given a trial for one year.

terial of ra varsity team in the his­tory of Lawrence College. The Frosh squad of this year won every competitive meet in which they participated. In each meet the Frosh triumphed easily; among their vanquished opponents were Ripon Frosh, Carroll Frosh, Apple­ton H. S., and Milwaukee West High.

The team was unusually strong both in numbers and in individual quality. Several of the Frosh have held state records in various events during their high school track years, and some of the records still are observed as state records. Mar­ty Bridges in the 440 yard dash. Evan Vande WaUe in the 440 yard dash. Sam Leete in the high and low hurdles. Leete has broken the college record that has been sta­tionary for ten years in the high hurdles. Frank Schubert held the mile record in the Fox Valley Con­ference, and Woody Felts held the low hurdle record in the Wolf River Conference.

Other Leaders Although these individuals are

the most outstanding on the rquad, there are several other Frosh who ire dominant in various events.

Gerlach, Westberg, Grode and Movakofski, the foursome from Menasha, have all won first place >vents in either the 440 yard dash, :he half mile or the mile. These rays competed without high school experience. Menasha High School loe* not include track on its ath- etic program.

Rollie Winters and Junior Kapp wo Appleton men, are the rnain- tays in the shot put and the dis- us.Solie and Hoover have consist-

ntly won in the high jump and he pole vault as has Jud Rose- ush. Purdy has been outstanding i the 100 yard dash event.Terrill and Arthur have thrown

le javelin well over 125 feet and >ey show promise of adding at east 15 feet next year. This year oach Denney issued the largest umber of Frosh numerals since ■ck has been a major sport at awrence. Nineteen freshmen re- ‘ived awards.According to Coach Denney, the i36 track season will begin imme- ately after the football season, en not participating in basketball ill turn out for early workouts id preliminary meets.The present Frosh team will rengthen the present varsity hen they join Wilder, Osen, and ecker next year. With this the neral track outlook for next year oka bright.

Vogel has been standing in these events in col- e circles this year winning them both the Mid-West and the Big ir conference meets. He broke ords in both conferences this r and brought the first Mid­st conference title to Lawrence. ,t the state meet at Ripon this r, Vogel tossed the shot 45 feet■ inches for a new record. He ke the discus record with a toss 30 feet 10J Inches. The old rec- s in these events were 41 feet r inches in the shot, and the dis-

record of 129 feet eight and •half inches.

structo r, CoachWilliam "Bill" Schroeder, for the

last four years freshman football coach, and for the last year an assistant in the physical education department, has been named ath­letic coach and instructor in physi­cal education at Clintonville High school.

Schroeder is a graduate of Mani­towoc High school where he starred in athletics, of Milwaukee State Teachers college and of the Univer­sity of Minnesota.

At Milwaukee teachers Schroe­der played football as a quarter­back for Coach Percy Clapp for three years, captained the team one year and was named captain of the all-state teachers college team two seasons. He also was a guard on the basketball squad and tossed the discus in track.

Schroeder attended the Univer­sity of Minnesota several semesters and summer sessions and last year received a degree as bachelor of science. He majored in physical ed­ucation work.

During the last year Schroeder has coached the Lawrence frosh football team, the frosh basketball team, both of which had successful seasons, assisted in intra-mural sports at the college, in physical education work and had charge of Russell Sage cottage.

TRESIZE AT U. W.Mr. F. W. Tresize, associate pro­

fessor of Engineering, is planning to spend the early part of the sum­mer in studying and teaching at the University of Wisconsin. Later he is going to continue his pros­pecting work in Saskatchewan, far­ther north and west than he work­ed last year.

Clapp. Denney Go East To C ontinue Studies

Vacation calls most of us but for Coaches Percy Clapp and A. C. Denney the close of school will mean the beginning of work.

Coach Clapp is in charge of sev­eral coaching schools which will be in operation the early part of the summer. One will be held at Pio Nono High School and the other will open for a three day session at a boys’ camp in Northern Wis­consin.

After the close pf the coaching schools, Mr. Clapp will go to New York University to take graduate work towards his doctor’s degree in physical education. He will take over his new position at University of Idaho about September 1.

Coach Denney will leave on June 1 for New York City where he will attend Columbia University. He intends to complete his work for a master's degree in physical educa­tion this year.

CONTINUES RESEARCHMiss Olga Smith, instructor In

botany, will continue her research at the Institute of Paper Chemistry in the study of moving pictures of wood fibers and of bacteriological problems which occur in the pa­per industry.

If they all return to Lawrence next season and remain eligible and join with Ted Wilder, Jerry Heeker and Cliff Osen of the pres­ent varsity squad, Coach Arthur C. Denney should have the greatest track squad In Lawrence's history. Sam Leete already has broken col­lege hurdle and high jump records. Frank Schubert is a crack miler and half miler and Evan Vande Walle can win first in any race from the 100 to the 440.

The state track meet, held at Ripon on May 25, found Lawrence entering a team composed of many s ttrs but not enough other men to fill in and win a few seconds and thirds. Ted Wilder scored an up­set when he dashed his way to a first place in the 100 yard dash. Lfcter in the day he scored a first in the 220 yard dash and a third place in the broad jump to win scoring honors for the day. Jerry Hecker did his share by winning a first in the half mile run and then repeating in the mile run. John Vogel continued his record break­ing streak and set new marks for the state meet in both the shot put and the discus. The six first places that the Vikings were able to garner however, were not enough to take first place or even second place. The well balanced Beloit team cap­tured the state title with Carroll in second place while the Viking track men were forced to return home with a third plqce.

Moffat Credits Mills’ Theory

Keouomie Reform*RUomingtaa. Ind. — (Special* —

“The door was opened for our present social and economic re­forms through John Stuart Mill's theory of applied economics.” said Prof. James E. Moffat, of the Uni­versity of Indiana, said recently in evaluating the greatest contribu­tion made by this 19th century so­cial scientist.

Was Ahead of HI« T ineDescribing Mill as a man tar

•head of his time in social thinking, as a man who poured out such a continuous stream of articles that many of them were lost. Dr Moffat pointed out four other great con­tributions made by the economist. Mill popularized the theory of utili­tarianism. the principle that con­duct is to be judged in terms of utility or results. He revised (he theory somewhat by stressing the quality of human happiness rather than the quantity. This theory has been rather thoroughly discounted, but it did place the ethics of eco­nomic life on a higher plane. Pro­fessor Moffat said.

Mill instilled appreciation of the need of change in educational methods, the speaker continued. He also emphasized in scientific meth­od (he importance of inductive ver­ification, in contrast to the abstract deductive reasoning of other scien­tist«. Sheer logic does not alwavs predict the reactions of human be- ngs, Mill believed, so ideaa have to

l>e tested by specific examples. The necessity for economic objectives was the fourth principle which Mill contributed to the world, Prof. Moffat concluded. “He was the first scientist to urge that a social scientist should have definite ob­jectives — that society should have « i >al toward which to strive."

So they say that the boys and gaU are off to Waupaca. And they nay they have chaperons. But they say that once or twice our chil­dren "let It go.” Still, they sa y we have chaperons. They la y we go up for canoeing. And they my we go for swimming. But they said we are college students. And they said, and they still say we have chaperons. They say the water's fine. But the water was fine back home. And back home we had chaperons. And at Waupaca we have chaperons, So they lay.

They say the profs are rushing about like mad to straighten us out But they say we are all straightened out after those "syn­thesis of knowledge" comprehen­sivos. And those of us who sur­vived that merry and invigorating experience are straightened out too. We forgot the water was fine. They say that Prexy tore the door off his car hurrying over to ihs next meeting or off to cum- |K>se some literature for the editor. And they say that Towner was in a hurry too. And that he folded up his trunk on the way home to the fold of deah old alma alma.

They say that the campus cooks have gone. But they say the teach­ers are making pie* of the apples «hat wore polished during the term. Some of them were rotten, both profs and apples, and many of the students. To say nothing of the pie eye*.

The Beta doubles team of Williams and Schalk swept through the schedule with little trouble, defeating the Sig Kps in the finals. The D. I. s were third.

Touchfootball, the next sport on the program, found the Betas again sweeping through all the opposition, winning all their gan.es by one­sided scores. The D. L athletes were decisively trour.ced by the champions in the final game. Phi Delta Theta scored a 2d-19 victory over the Phi Taus to win third place honors.

Delta Iota moved into first place in the Supremacy Race when they finished the volleyball schedule in first place. Sigma Phi Epsilon was second with the Phi Taus cloae behind them in third place. The Betas were forced down into sec­ond place and the Sig Eps remained in third position in the race for the Supremacy cup. Phi Kappa Tau moved into fourth place, nosing out the Phi Delts w o finished last in the valley ball schedule.

Phi Delta Theta won handball by decisively trouncing the D. L's in the final match of the schedule. This win put the Phi Delts back In third place, forcing the Phi Taus back to fifth position. The D. V* lengthened their lead and the Be­tas and Sig Eps remained in second and third, respectively.

A three way tie in basketbaU be­tween Beta Sigma Phi, Delta Iota and Sigma Phi Epsilon found no change in the Supremacy Cup standings. Phi Delta Theta re­mained in fourth place and the Phi Taus stayed in fifth place. The race was marked by very close

Phi Delta Theta scored another victory in the Swimming meet to shorten the gap remaining between them and the Sig Eps. Delta Iota and Beta Sigma Phi by virtue of their second and third in the swim­ming meet remained in first and second place in the total Suprem­acy Cup standings.

Intramural sports now occupied the Viking fraternity men. Upsets in the wrestling and boxing tour­naments surprised everyone. The Interfraternity - Intersorority swim­ming meet proved a great success and promises to be one of the most popular of all sports on the sched­ule although no points are given towards the Supremacy Cup.

Phi Delta Theta scored an upset over the newly installed Delts by winning the outdoor track meet by a big score. This victory pushed them up into third place, forcing the Sig Epfl down into fourth posi­tion. Delta Tau Delta remained in first place with the Betas in second.

The final event of the year, soft­ball, found the Delts sweeping through the schedule undefeated. The Betas and Phi Delts were tied for second {dace with the Phi Taus and Sig Eps tied for third position. The final standings remained the same: with Delta Tau Delta in first, Beta Sigma Phi in second. Phi Del­ta Theta in third. Sigma Phi Epsi­lon in fourth. Phi Kappa Tau _ in fifth. Delta Sigma Tau in sixth, and Phi Chi Omega in the cellar.

In August she will attend a field trip of the Kansas Geological Society touring through the states of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, covering over 1500 miles in 8 days This tour is sponsored by the uni­versities of the middlewest and is guided by men from those uni­versities who are authorities in their various fields. The tour is usually attended by over 200 teachers and economic geologists.

Mr. Delo is leaving sometime in the near future with Dr. Ben H. Rouland of the Institute of Paper Chemistry. They will tour for a month through the West spending considerable time in the gold mining regions of Colorado among the new mining discoveries stimulated by the rise in the price of gold. He plans to bring back a collection of specimens from the region.

The staff of the Carnegie Institute of Technology sent a valentine tothe council, reading: "The guys who sit up front and fuss. From the guys who sit downstairs and cuss."

“The old order changeth and yieldeth place to new.” At the an­nual meeting of the Ariel Board of Control held last Wednesday, it was decided which of those up and coming juniors (they’re still soph­omores) would be assigned to fill the shoes of Fritz Wiley, Malcolm Bishop, et al, who supervised this year’s year-book. Results: Charles Schwartz, editor; Kenneth Walker, business manager.

The new editor is weU qualified for his job, having served as an understudy on the Ariel for two years. Schwartz is a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Walker, his colleague, received his appointment not so much on the basis of ex­perience, as on his ability to wield that persuasive tongue necessary to move the most reluctant of adver­tisers. Walker is a member of Del­ta Tau Delta.

It was also decided at the meet­ing that the Ariel should take ad­vantage of the bookkeeping service which the coUege is offering to all college publications in the coming year. This service has already been accepted by the Lawrentian.

Columbus, Ohio — (Special) — Sometimes knowing the Morse code doesn't pay after all.

Not long ago certain students at the University of Ohio who learn­ed the code in the signal corps were taking an exam. While the instructor was still writing the questions on the board, the pencils i ' the students got busy on the desks, dot-dashing the answer* back and forth to all who could un­derstand.

Activity ceased, however, wher the professor tapped on the board with the chalk, using perfectly good code, “Cut that out."

MAC HARG TO TOURDr. J. B. MacHarg, professor of

American History, will leave soon for a business trip through the East, stopping at many of the large cities. Upon his return he and his wife will go to their summer home on the South Platte. 47 miles south­west of Denver, Colorado.

Mr. W. B Harvey, assistant pro­fessor of economics, is planning to spend some time this summer In the Canadian Rockies. Professor Harvey w .d not return to Law­rence in the fall but ha* accepted a position as assistant professor of economics at the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio.

Dr. L. C. Baker, professor of modern languages, will spend about three weeks during the latter part of the summer in Quebec and the French part of Canada. The earlier part of the summer will be spent in work here in Appleton.

Graduates Return, Attend AlumniCollege Sessions

Llasses and F ralrrn itie« Hold Reunion* at Ho­

tels and Dorm sFollowing the tradition of June

time, Lawrence Alumni joined the ranks of old graduates returning to their Alma Mater in time to see the seniors join their membership. A full program awaited them here at Lawrence. Thursday morning the alumni college held its first ses­sion. Dean Thomas N. Barrows ad­dressed the group on “Lawience College—A Survey and Outlook.” He mentioned in his address that there are in United States to­day many colleges that are liberal arts schools in name only. He stressed that Lawrence College is true to the name of a liberal arts college. Continuing, he said that courage is required to adhere to the standards of the liberal arts. Of especial interest is the fact that although there is nothing unique about the school, all of the good features are embodied in it as far as possible.

Lewis Speaks Dean Lewis of the Institute of

Paper Chemistry was the second speaker of the Thursday morning 'Alumni college. He spoke on the "Institute of Paper Chemistry.” Speaking at the afternoon session were Dr. McConagha on "Economic Radicalism and Its Relationship to Present Economic Problems” and Dr. John MacHarg on “American Responsibility in the New World of Economic Nationalism.”

Thursday evening the alumni heard the Conservatory Commence­ment Concert at the Lawrence Me­morial Chapel. Jean Howell, Lester Loerke, Carl Nicholas, and Fran­cis Kernin were the soloists of the evening and the Conservatory Symphony Orchestra played the final concert of the year. Friday morning the Alumni College heard Dr. Milton C. Towner, assistant to the president of the college, speak on "The Office of Admissions" and Miss Olga Achtenhagen on "Gyp­sying Through Europe."

Trustees Meet Friday morning the Board of

Trustees of the College met in the library. The afternoon saw the end of the alumni college with a lecture by Mr. Megrew on "The Glory of Gothic Architecture; a [.ecture on English and French Cathedrals” and a talk by Mr. Warren Beck on "Artistic Pros- aects of the Cinema in America.”

Friday noon the annual picnic uncheon was held on the south ■ampus. After the luncheon, a neeting of the officers and direc- ors of the Alumni Association was icld. At 6:30 in the evening the lass of 1885 celebrated its fiftieth nnivr'-sary reunion, the classes of 910, 1925, and 1930 celebrated their wenty-fifth, tenth, and fifth an- liversaries, respectively. The re- inions took place around the din- ler tables of the various clubs and otels in town. Alur.ni of the Con- ervatory of Music celebrated their eunion at the Hotel Northern. Fra- ernity and sorority alumni met the otinger brothers and sisters who re carrying on the traditions of le old bunch. These reunions took lace at the houses and at the dor- litories.

R e m e m b e r the Time When We Were Freshmen?

We remember this time of year when we were freshmen, do you? We remember how Ruth Hess play­ed the lullaby of the leaves on the Ormsby piano and everybody's typewriter took up the rhythm, and nice healthy boys played ten­nis, their shirts blazing white in the sun. Every one went about feel­ing significant. It was that time of year what with exams and all, and getting a C when you had been hoping you wouldn't flunk, but be­ing afraid you would, — that time when lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed, and you were a fresh­man, and nine chances out of ten you were in love. And now that you are about to make arrange­ments for a cap and gown to re­ceive your diploma in. there isn’t quite the same magic. And it's just as good a season for lilacs.

We remember this time of year when we were sophomores, and Sage was a madhouse. Considering that this is the Lawrentian. we will go so far as to say a Veritable Madhouse. We could hardly be true to the policy of trick punctua­tion in features, without at least a capital here and there. At Sage (we are back at Sage being Sopho­mores again) even the immaculate type went about with her lipstick smeared, and her hair frazzled, to say nothing of her nerves. Or

else in bathing suits and those froggy looking glasses, we took sun baths. We felt significant that year too. We greeted our friends with, "What are the uses of the subjunctive?” We were not as like­ly to be in love, when we were sophomores. We had been taking psychology, and knew the differ­ence between what was friendship, and what was purely biological a t­traction.

Then we were Juniors, and lilacs smelled nice that year too.

The Beta-Boys played baseball in the street, and the Brokaw-Boys played tennis in shirts that blazed white when the sun struck them, and your tutorial exam was fierce but somewhow you got through, and Tommy Temple played waltzes at your sorority formal. You wore perfume called Shalimar, and a new dress, and low heeled silver sandals. You glided about the dance floor with a moony expres­sion on your face, and your fore­head against cheek which got too hot after a while, and a position which gave you a rather abrupt look behind. But you didn't mind.

So here we are now, and the comprehensives are behind us, and all that's left is to have our friends (male) send us flowers, and our friends « female) ■ give us handker­chiefs, and our president (male) give us diplomas, and then there will be no more Lawrence at this time of year, and perhaps we won't ever feel significant again. Now what? A new lipstick, a copy of Kant's Philosophy, clean the white shoes, and write to your mother. The next war (?) the World’s Work, the responsibilities of maturity are just around the corner. We, the newly hatched collegians, the hope of the earth, particularly to our mothers, musn't go drooping about because of lost magic. The lilacs

CARL HOFFMAN

Hoffman Accepts New Teaching JobCarl Hoffman, instructor in

zoology at Lawrence college for the last three years, has submitted his resignation to the college, effective at the close of the current academic year, to accept a new position in the zoology department of the Uni- versiiy of Michigan at Ann Arbor.

Mr. Hoffman is u graduate of Ap­pleton high school and Lawrence college. Before beginning work on the Lawrence staff of instruction, he took two years of graduate work at the University of Michigan. For the past five summers he has been at the University of Michigan Bi­ological station at Lake Douglas. Mich., the first two as a student and the last three as an instructor. He will return there this summer to teach in the field of animal ecology.

Miss Elise Bohstedt, instructor in German, is sailing on July 4 to conduct a student tour in Europe. The tour will visit Germany, France, England, and Scotland. It is sponsored by the Educational and Recreational Travel Bureau. The general conductor of the tour is Heinrich Oenneburg, former counsellor for the German govern­ment.

Now We've Got To Feel F in a l And D ef in i t e

With everyone else being final, we must be too, although we never have felt definite toward the end of the college year. There are too many flowers, for one thing, and sun khining in through the exam room \vindows to make big pools of gold on the floor, and people we like going away. . . . Now it is that life is more like an escalator than ever before, and we keep wondering. . , .

At this time of year when we're using what little energy we have left from the spring joust with exams to keep from falling in love,

| we can't help remembering the re- j mark made by a commencement

speaker in the east, just two | springs ago. He was the only com­mencement speaker we’ve ever re­membered. He said, “You’re going out into the world now, and it’s a hard world. You won’t know what it's all about. None of us do.” Then he sat down. We thought that was a wonderful speech. It was. So much commencement time is wast­ed on sugary flourishes of senti­ment. But this man uttered a potent thing. And he knew when to «top. So few people do. What he said is worth remembering: what he did is worth imitating.

So with all the "apple tree, the singing, and the gold . . . ’ we can keep wondering. . . . After ail, no one else knows either, and how much nicer it is to have both the conversation with the youngest robin underneath the lilacs, and the not-knowingness about the world which you can forever keep trying 1o make knowingness. But it is comforting to know that others are in the same struggle, feeling just as mystified. After all the feeling of being mystified we «lid in exams we are quite practiced at it. too.

We may all be on the spot. or. like Ossian's Vikings “go forth to battle, but always fall . . or we may be wearing red heels that click charmingly on the pavements and holding a rose in our teeth, instead of a political knife, but withal, withal, we are in it, and soon the graduates will be trying to find what it's all about With Steven­son. we give them a toast,“Here's a sigh for those who love

me,And a smile for those who hate: Whatever skies above me,Here's my heart, whatever fate’”

in front of Ormsby will smell quite as fragrant next year.

The tumult and the shouting grow faint in our ears. The Shali­mar perfume has evaporated. And in the same way, we will never be freshmen again. Toujour gai. Archy, Toujour gai. C’est fim.

Bedridden for 44 years! Joseph Pulmmer of New Hampshire, want­ed to marry at the age of 19. His father was opposed to It so Plum­mer said he would go to bed and stay there until his father consent­ed. His father never gave in and Pulmmer died 44 years later, still a healthy m an -an d that is the hard­est part to believe.

A Glance BackwardBearing in mind that a glance at the

past is oftimes as valuable as a view into the future, the editor has reviewed the past year to obtain a picture of whatever process or achievements the student body, the faculty, and the administration have acquired in the school term just closed.

Heartening indeed are the revelations. The accomplishment reviewed indicate Uie existence of a student body keenly aware of the problems facing it. an ad­ministration sympathetic to reform, and • faculty striving to better its method? of training.

From a year so filled with activity it is difficult to chose any one change as most representative o£ the year's prog­ress. However, a list of ten of the major accomplishments were selected as indica­tive of the general trend of improve­ment. Their stories appeared as front page news in the Lawrentian listed.

1. Issue of Septem ber 21.The in terfratern ity council changes

iU pledging rules, appoints a Judicial board of three faculty members, and makes provisions for violations and pun­ishments.

2. Issue of November 2,A Rally committee is formed to

Joe College vs. M aturity“Never before has the undergraduate

in the American college been so mature intellectually, so mature emotionally, as he is today. Never before lias he been so interested in the problems outside academics which face the world today.— Prof. Ricardo Quintana.

You of today, for a multitude of rea­sons has been forced to face life as it is, and not as his elders would represent it to be. Perhaps it is because of the harsh, material situation that Youth must face. Perhaps it is because he can no longer accept, as did his elders, that the world is essentially good, and that all things come to him who waits.

Our generation are not exactly ideal­ists. We are intense materialists. Forccd by reality to face a world gone topsy lurvy, we must lay aside our dreams to face the problems that affect our well­being. We dare not evade issues—we do not dare compromise. We are being taught by experience that when we come to the crossroad we must select our path quickly, without hesitation.

Although we are not exactly idealists, we see things as they are—and try to plan a way by which those things may be rectified. We are of that changing generation that sees no harm in change. If old ideas arte obsolete, we are willing to change those ideas, not Iw violence or radical action, but by intelligent action that will remedy that existing malim- pression.

College students are learning to think, learning that college is a place for thought, and a place where Youth may adjust itself to an ever changing world. No longer can we be called “Joe College.” To be sure, that type of student still exists, but not in the same degree as 10 vears ago. We are so busy trying to find out the truth, trying to adjust ourselves, that we have little time for those flights

The Cat's PawDear Parents:

Commencement is the beginning ot the end for some ol us. We'll get over that feeling, of course. We'll realize that it's really the beginning of living^ our own lives. Oh, yes, we'll admit that Life begins at forty, if you’ll give us a chance to get over this feeling that commence­ment is the end.

You see it really is the end of so | many things. We can’t quite get used to the idea. If we’re terribly restless, im­patient and irritable at first, forgive us. It's so hard to eat a meal with three or four people when we've been eating it with a hundred or so. At night we won’t be able to sleep because of the terrible quietness of home. If we don't have jobs this summer (and we probably won’t) we’re going to be horribly bored. After having twice too much to do, it's going to seem queer not to have half enough to do. A ll year w'e've been tear­ing along, generating enough steam to keep up with ourselves. It seemed that lectures, exams, and meetings were always being held at times when it was well known that it would be impossible for us to come. People pre surprisingly inconsiderate about such things even at a liberal minded college like Lawrence.

This summer we'll be left standing on our tracks with more steam generated than we can possibly use. Sometimes it will get too much for us and w e’ll blow up. Overlook it, please do. To no one else can we admit it, but we feel queer. We're supposed to be all grown up now, with a degree after our name, but we don't feel as old as we thought we would. It’s a funny thing but we don’t feel half cocky as we did when we graduated from High School or even from eighth grade. We’re scared. What if no one wants us? You told us once that never would we feel that. wre knew so little as we did when we graduated from college. Right you were.

Our comprehensive grades weren’t so

body is formed as the basis of a "New Deal" in student government.

9. Issue of May 3.The college announces a new plan

of sophomore tu torial to begin next year.10. A move not recorded in the pages

of the Law rentian—the adm inistration of com prehensive exam inations to grariuat-

| ins seniors.

So They SayA struggle for something new always

involves innumerable adverse criticism commemoiable as the effort may be. So it has been writh the New Deal Feature Lawrentian ideal. The last half of the year the feature staff has been turning out reams of material hot off the press to amuse and edify the student and faculty public. It has been no easy thing, but an interesting job and an original one.

What we think is that it has been (and is) a worthy achievement. From the “poached-egg-on-toast’’ type of infor­mation, direct to customer, through the sky-rocket zone of politics to the star­dust and merry-go-round era is a jump indeed. We say, “Keep it up.”

From various sources we have heard that an esteemed faculty member defined the present Lawrentian as a “literary weekly”. That’s fine. That’s just what the policy has aimed at. But we didn't like the tone he said it in. . . . And another thing, we function as the Voice of The People, not ephemerally, no. no, never that. And the Lawrentian w ill De given out at a time when it is w ell known that you can come and get it. . . .

of fancy that have resulted only in mal­adjustment and discontent.

Superficially, we may not always show this new ettitude. We are busy with many other things. But we are ob­serving, and acting more in accordance with the ideals in which we really must be growing up.

—FROM THE DAILY CARDINAL.

good; were they? W'e’re sorry, but we'd never written comprehensives before. Be­sides every single one of us fell in love. There is nothing so absolutely disastrous to grades as love. Some of our loves were quite unrequited but just as fatal. Imagine the unmitigated pain of seeing Her talking to Him in the library just as we were settling down to study. Some of us just fell in love with Spring. She is the most beguiling, intriguing, and enigmatic lady of them all, sometimes hot sometimes cold. The school year i9 organized all wrong. January, not June, is the month for exams. But you under­stand. It happened to you once or maybe twice.

All our farewells are said. We’ve fondled the fraternity dog, kissed our sc- rority sisters and given our last wi.-a counsel for carrying on the good old chapter. Now we’re coming home where no one gives a damn about our counsel.

Until we get a job and can be cocky again, love us and feed us strawberry shortcakes and cream.

Your affectionate,Sons and Daughters.
