FACULTY "SNOBBERY" is
CHARGED BY STUDENT
Stanford Editor Declares the
Breach Is Due to Attitude
of Professors

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 20
Claiming that a breach exists between
the faculty and students OF Stanford
university, Editor d. 4. Ferry of the
chaparral in the second issue OF the
semester, suggests that the reason may
be due TO snobbery upon the part of
the faculty. In this connection he SAYS:
Dr. Jordan bewails the breach be-
tween the student and professor and
remem bers the time when close friend
ship existed. Chappie 'u'd like to tell
you. lie knows why Like Postum,
there's a reason. You'll find II in this
homemade adage, Silk halls do not sit
Well on professional craniums.'
The which means there are snobs i'm
every faculty. and the student will not
stand Tor snobbery. Chappie would be
tickled TO death TO see the re-establish-
ment OF the old time comradeship. 1t
would mean no more of this damphuI
fear and trembling in the, presence of
the Instructor which have been respon-
sible for more bitter hatred and more
trouble than was ever conceived in
your philosophy. Horatio Doctor Tor
dan, Chappie and his friends are ready
for the inoculation of good feeling.
How about your faculty."

"Just Out of COLLEGE,"

One of the important engagements
of the present theatrical year at the
Gennett is that of Just Out of Col
lege," a comedy in three acts, by Geo.
AIDE, author of The College Widow -
which comes Wednesday night. The
humor of the piece is said to be irres-
istible because of the underlying
thought of the whole. AIDES character
of Edward Worthington Swinger, the
young man just out of college, is an
excellent exemplification of the nerve
and bluff the modern college graduate
carries from the institution of learn
ing into the world successfully.
