: Intellectual pishonesty."

The authorities, of the University of Missouri have inaugurated crusade against intellectual dishonesty" and in furtherance of this movement. ac- cording to recent reports, they have forbidden the time-honoreG custom of holding debates among the students unless every debating contestant firmly believes in the side of the question to which he is assigned. The time is past, we are assured, when students will be detailed to argue the affirmative" or the negative side Of a topic, regard less of their personal predilections.
 The reform business has so run it's course that it has reached the point where it is becoming more or less ri diculous. It has invaded every nook and corner of our ethics, our business, our social life and our morals. and hawk-eyed reformers are casting about for something else to lift upon the wing Of the awakening. While there can be no reasonable objection to student believing with all his heart in any side of a. matter brought up for public de- bate and argument, it cannot be con sidered less than stultifying if he is not allowed a reasonable latitude of per- sonal exploration. Who can be con- vinced of the truth who will not ap- proach a subject with open mind and without prejudice ?-kansas City Jour- nal

snobberx Among Women.

Gratifying evidence of the progress of at least one of our women's colleges toward masculine ideals of culture is furnished by the problem of the aboli- ton of fraternities-or, perhaps, we should say sororfties-which has come at Wellesley.
 At that seat of the higher female education, it seems, "snobbishness" has developed in the student societies to such a degree that girls who have worked for their class and college go unhonored while the fashionable but terhy reaps the honors." Whether so- cia1 influence count in the choice of members of the basket ball team or of the crews on Lake Waban we are not informed, but it is apparent that at Wellesley undergraduate interests are beginning to show a faithful reflection of those approved at Harvard, Yale and Princeton as the fine flower of a col- lege education.
 What they will do at Wellesley to re- form conditions which at the mems colleges still present embarrassing Ques- tions of discipline is not so material as the testimony of their existence at a wonau's college gives to it's evolution along masculine lines. Wellesley has begun to realize the inadeQuacy of scholarship or even of athletics as a goal of culture compared with fraterni- ty life, and with this awakening has come it's progress to a parity with the older institutions of masculine learn ing.
