recur from day to day, still, IN
less the poisoned shaft of suffering
strikes our own hearts, we do not re-
sard it as our duty to interfere. We
take much the same view on ali
economic problems. We leave their
solution to the employer and the en-
ploye the two giants struggling in the
rabble, without any duty to adjust
the bitter fight for existence with
justice and fairness. Not even hui
mainly can pursuade us to interfere!
Remember that if you want to lead
yon must be ahead of the following;
that you must do what, in popular
terms, Roosevelt has done,-'butt-in'
quite consistently. 4. yOu see some

Represent Law School.
Vincent H. Huck, Fond du Lac, re-
presenting the law school, gave care
fully prepared biography Of Carl
Schurz, with an analytical estimate
of his characted and life's work.
Another representative of the col
lege Of law was Ralph d. Hetzel,
Madison, who spoke, in part, as lcl-
lows:
You have all heard Of the saw
ages in our college rush-of the be-
rib5oned enthusiasts Of the football
field OF the college hero and the col
/ lege fop, of athletic contests and TIE
Junior Prom. But have you ever
stopped to think that beneath all OF
This there might be running deep am
strong a current of honest, faithful,
sober endeavor. Has it ever occurred
to you that beneath all this show
and ostentation there throbs a true
and noble university life, inhabited
by men of ambition, strength and
courage? There is such a life. 1t is
here that men are being trained.
Here they are being measured. Here
wealth and social standing and fam-
/ lily name have no place, men meet as
/ men uJOU Il GOLiiliOA SAbunus A1CAC
guided by the highest ideals, they
| fight out for themselves the problems
which face them. Here a man is what
! he Is and the best is for the best. If
there ever was an incentive that
would stir the spirit-conditions that
/ broaden Observation-Disclosures that
develop courage-they are here il our
college life For every man knows
that if he will attain honor, he will
win it upon his own merit that he
must be more than an athlete, more
than on orator, more than a scholar
he must be a man. He knows that
underneath it all the great heart Of
this university beats true.
What, then. brings forth such gen.
eral and repeated attacks upon the
college man? The first cause is in
the college mamie is too noisy-too
ready TO talk-too prone to exagger.

anxious 70 see and believe the exag-
eerated and often ill-founded reports
Of the too ar oitious newspaper re.

faults under a microscope and an
nounce them through a magophone.
The college man has made a mistake
"a righteous public has been out

demand for an apron-string policy fyr
