The Rah-Rah Bow.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian
The rah-rah boy is the logical out
come of the undergraduate university
and has become a biological necessity
in connection with this institution. The
university is the parliament of youth
and each September brings new mi
grafton of fiedglings. Up to the time
of arrival the average youth has one
suit of clothes and few neckties Af-
ter a month he buys a new suit and hat
and countless neckties and emerges-
the rah-rah boy. Usually he copies one
model. the most swagger frat man he
meets. The man who wears twenty
buttons on his sleeve and who has the
most oblique cut to his coat finds in
him an earnest disciple. With the in
tensity of the very young he chases the
phantom until he leaves the So
ciety woman far behind in the ardor
of his pursuit. The result OF the race
is bewildering array of combinations.
The rahrah boy has been laughed
at and carcatured until his real value
has been entirely overlooked. He makes
for the personality of the university
more than does its president. He con-
tributes that feature which distin-
gnishes it from every other university
or college-local color. With his chopped
up hat. his high rolled trousers. his
soft blue shirts, he adds the picturesque
element to the university campus. with
out which it would present very much
the appearance of an Old Soldiers
Home. OBSERVER.

Should Assembly Be Abolished?

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
President Hills criticism of the stu
dents who stand in the door and hall
way leading to the auditorium. at AS
sembly hour, was certainly well de
served, and AIS statement in regard to
the disrespect that the University stu
dents thus show to the ordinary as
sembly lecturer is only too true.
Several years ago, attendance at as
sembly at the University of Missouri
was compulsory. and if student was
not present. he was punished for it.
Now. however. attendance at assembly
lectures is wholly voluntary on the part
OF the student body but from the at
tention that the student body in general
pays to the ordinary lecture at assem-
bly, at present. it would be far better
if the old system was introduced again
| and attendance at assembly made COM
pulsory.
The truth is. assembly has become a
farce here at the University of Mis-
souri,. No matter how good a lecture
Is. outside of few personal friends.
and perhaps a few of his individual pu-
pills. none of the students attend Per-
haps professor has prepared lee
ture upon subject that he is an au-
thority on; perhaps it is upon some
subject that he has spent his whole
life in investigating. the result is the
same. No one goes to hear him.
Furthermore. this attitude is not
wholly on the part of the student body
Very few OF the professors of the Uni
versity 90 to hear one of their brothers
speak at assembly. Perhaps down in
the pit will be seen one or two profess
orS. but ordinarily the appearance of
professor at assembly is few and far
between. Unless the speaker happens
to be at the head of his individual de-
partment. he will not be at assembly.
The reason for this attitude on the
part of the students and faculty of
the University to assembly is hard to
determine. Ii the students and faculty
cannot spare the time il would be much
better to dispense with assembly en-
tirely. than to make farce of it. It
is rather embarrassing to have a speaker !
come to thu University of Missouri from /
a neighboring state university. or per-
haps he is the leading preacher from
some large city. OF he may be great
lawyer. and after he gets here to have |
him lecture to. empty benches in the
auditorium.

Why has the University of Missouri
no clock: In speaking of improvements
at the University, in various depart
ments and along various lines, why not
include a University clock! The old
bell in the Agricultural building has
been in service almost since the Uni
versity was founded. and it looks like
the University of Missouri could by this
time afford tower clock. The old
bell requires the services of a man con-
and has done SO for the last
half century. Would it not be better
to have modern tower clock that
would require winding only once
Such clock would do great
deal of good. for it would not only
enable everybody to tell the exact time
at all times. and thus insure greater
at classes but would be
more satisfactory in every way.

How Diamonds Burn.

Ter replied. Diamonds are nothing but
coal-carbon-they burn beautifully.
Their hardness makes us think them
indestructible, but as a matter of fact a

DIR. Winfield S. Hall writes on The
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1908-11-16

The subject matter to fulfill the re-
quirements of high school students is
not at present organized in a suitable
manner. Its central theme should be
the relation of the individual to society;
on the one hand what society means
and does for the individual: on the
other hand. what the individuals part
would be in the support and progress
of society. The materials for such
training are at hand in civics and his
tory and literature. and the desirable
line of procedure would be to present
such view of the interrelation be-
tween man and society as would make
the necessity OF moral action appear
inevitable. 1t would be out of place to
appeal to the emotions. and the chief
stress should be laid on intellectual
methods. Professor Tufts says in con-
clusion that the schools need disci-
pline of this sort. and that a study can
be worked out which shall be no more
difficult than physics or Latin syntax
and valuable to the student.
Professor De Garmo of Cornell Uni
versity reviews the system of moral in
in France which has supplant-
ID the ecclesiastical system. The pro-
-ramme includes the duties of the child

community: duties toward ones self. /
such as care of the body. cleanliness. |
