There is place in the University fol
such an organization as the Glee Club
and 1t deserves better support than il
has been given. Student activities
ought not to be limited 10 athletic
events though these may be the most
important. The students should be
broad enough to appreciate things in
debating, art and music.
The members of the club, of course
get the most good out of It. But they
do their best to make it an organiza
tion worthy to represent the Univer-
sity and worthy of the support of the
other students. 1t is our constant duty
| to contribute to things that may be
more beneficial to others.
The Glee Club can be made a good
advertising feature for the University
in trips out over the state. The lack
of support has made the continuance
of these trips impracticable and it
should be with the renewing of this
program in view that the Glee Club
should be be supported this year.
The Easter holiday question like
most others has room for argument on
both sides. The significance of Easter
is certainly such that it should be Gel
ebrated each year. The principal rea-
son for wanting a holiday at that time
lis because it would break the long
moIotony of study between Christmas
and June
The logical time for holiday
would be between semesters but the
first semester closes too soon after
Christmas to make it desirable 10
have any extended holiday at that
time. 1t isn't that two vacations are
too much but that it is difficult to ar
range them satisfactorily.
Students are too eager to clamor for
a holiday when there is the least occa-
sion. The University is a place for
work and work of any sort is not sat
isfactory if interrupted now and then
These Interruptions not only break IN
on the plan of work laid out but they
detract from the students interest.
If the University training is to be a
real preparation for life it should
have some training in keeping ever

Secret marriages seem to be all the
style among students of the University.
1t might be just as well if the custom
would never become general.
: Some students make the mistake of
thinking that head full of knowledge
is sufficient of itself to take them
through the world. No doubt it will
help great deal but all the accumula-
ted knowledge of the world doesn't
amount to much unless it's put to some
use and what is already obtained is
used as the basis of progress. The
most successful man and the man who
does the most to better the world
where men live is not always the man
who knows tie most.
Many people would be better off if
they would start with their university
or college education and try to dig out
for themselves instead of
going back and taking graduate work.
