life of one big man his big foes and

Involved with his ambition is the
ambition of the laborer, of the capital

woman. and of woman who gives all
for love-
This is a mans book in its account

one lone basketball game are Mis-

On May 81 the team will go to
st. Louis TO compete in the Missouri
Valley Conference meet. Missouris S
chances are good for winning this
meet for the third consecutive time.
Then the big Missouri Valley trophy
cup will be ours. Ii will be the first
time the meet has been in st. Louis.
Missouri will have a chance to show
the people there real Missouri

a good idea TO show st. Louisans a

with Missouri spirit? 1t would well
pay to advertise the University in St.

In Another Moment.

A story of present-minute New
York-a drama of the Great White
Way In Another Moment, by Charles
Belmont Davis, is striking tale Of
Gotham as a touchstone of character.
Starting out i'm a very human and
engaging way, with pleasant outdoor
atmosphere and characters that seem
real enough to shake hands with, the
story is bound to attract ones atten-
tion. AS the strings tighten and the
plot becomes more intense and urgent,
and the locale is changed
to the turbulent, seething whirlpool
of life in the great metropolis. the
readers interest increases. The ele-
ment of suspense grows and grows,
becoming more vital with every page.
The mystery with which the outcome
is enshrouded becomes more gripping
and dramatic, and as the story pro-
crosses to its final big scene" the
reader is held as in vice, fearing
and expecting always, yet hoping that
his suspicious as to what the outcome
will be are false. (BObbs-Merrill Co.,

MORE TROUBLE FOR UNCLE SAM.

While citizens of Japan and the
United States are anxiously waiting
to see what the Government is going
to do about the anti-alien land bill re-
Gently passed by the California legis-
lature, it might be noted that the
same situation exists in Arizona. The
bill now before the Arizona Legisla-
ture corresponds to the original bill
abandoned by the California Legisla-
ture and is of a more serious and rad
ical nature.
This bill prohibits aliens who have
not declared their intention of be-
coming citizens, from acquiring land.
As it frequently is now, declarations
from the japanese are refused when
offered. This condition practically
prohibits japanese ownership of land.
However, the bill has passed only the
House of Representatives and prob
ably will not be taken up before the
Senate until the outcome of the Cali
fornia question is decided. The oppo-
sition made by the japanese Govern
mcnt to the Webb Bill also included
a protest against the Arizona Bill.
What is done in regard to California
will. in all probability, be duplicated
in solving the Arizona question.

COMMON SENSE AND WALKS.

Our University campus is said to be
one of the most beautiful in the
United States. A journalist from an
Eastern state who was here last week
said it was one of the prettiest places
he had ever visited. And it is to us.
But after we stay here time, we
become accustomed to the beauty and
sometimes do little things to mar it.
At no time of the year is the cam
pus more beautiful than now. The
grass is getting a start for the year.
Still there are a few persons who in
sist on cutting across corners. A
path made now will stay all the sea-
son. Fences are built to keep little
children from running over the grass.
Common sense should teach Univer-
sity students to stay on the walks.

A new graduate school to cost about
two million dollars is now being
built at Princeton. The graduate stu
dents are to be segregated from the
other students, to have their own in
structors, to eat and sleep and dis
cuss their studies together. This
school is situated one-fourth of mile
from the campus. The idea was orig
mated by Dean Andrew West of the
graduate school, and a gift of $5OO,OOO
was first offered for this. President
Wilson opposed the plan, believing
that graduates and undergraduates
would profit by association. The gift
was withdrawn, but when a later be-
quest of two million dollars was made

tor Kellogg, "is the railroad from Phil
adelphia to New York and they can
easily import girls from these places
for their social functions. 1t is real
ly easier to go from Princeton to New
York than from Columbia to McBaine."
President Wilson Popular.
Much of the progress and many of
the changes at Princeton have been as
sociated with President Wilson. AS a
college president he was very popular
with the students, according to Doctor
Kellogg. MANY persons speak of
President Wilson as being cold and un-
approachable," he said. while he
was not by nature very expressive,
he was one of the most convincing
takers l ever heard. lou always felt
that he was looking at matters in the
right light when you heard him speak.
He was truly democratic in his rela-
tiOns with the students, and the under
graduates would always stand by
him."
The honor system is very success
fully worked at Princeton. DR.. E. w.
Kellogg, of the department OF engi-
neering, says that In the time he
was there, there were only two or
three cases of students violating this.
This is administered by student
board" he said. Every student is ex-
pected to report any cases of STU
dents receiving or giving assistance
in examinations. and the board re-
ceives the evidence and makes its
recommendation to the faculty. The
student is at liberty to go in or out
as he pleases in examinations, to
smoke, drink ''fizz" or anything else
he wishes.
Another distinctive feature of
Princeton" Doctor Kellogg continued,
lis its system of upperclass clubs.
This is an attempt to solve the fra
ternity problem. Only juniors and
seniors may belong to these and in
this way the students get widely ac-
quainted outside of their clubs, in
their freshman and sophomore years.
These clubs are not secret, and the
students do not live at them, only
take their meals there. Strict rules
about rushing are observed. Accord
ing to a treaty among the clubs, no un-
derclassmen may be solicited for men,
bership and in no circumstances is he
allowed to visit the clubhOuses.
Like Our sFrat" Houses.
"On a certain day in the spring of
a mans sophomore year, a club invita-
ton may be mailed to him. He is ex-
pected to answer in a specified limit.
In this interval it is not etiquette for
him to mingle with the members of
the upperclass clubs. About two
thirds of the juniors and seniors be-
long to clubs. Tie club houses are
situated in the town, and resemble our
fraternity houses in appearance.
Zone of the most impressive GUS
toms at Princeton is the singing of
the senior in the spring. 1t is the ex-
elusive privilege of seniors to sit on
the steps of Nassau Hall. In the
spring, they get together every
evening and SINCE college songs for
half an hour. The campus is filled
with people listening to the songs.

"A L
would feel at home at Princeton Uni
versity. Whenever the strains of the
college song, "Old Nassau" were
heard. he would see every man stand
with barred head. He would join in
the wells for the Tiger" athletes, and
wave the orange and black colors at
the football games. He would visit
historic buildings, some more than 100
years old which are ''reeking with
traditions" and observe customs dat
ing from the times of the Revolution.
And most home-like of all, perhaps,
he would find the university in a
secluded location, reached only by one
branch of a railroad.
Just beyond the little railroad sta
ton stands the arch leading to the
university grounds. On each side of 1t,
fencing in the campus, is a long line
of dormitories which stretches up the
hill to a tower, lao feet high. Most
famous of the buildings is Nassau Hall,
or "Old North" as it is Familiarity call
ed. This building, which is of colon
ial architecture, dates from RevOlu-
tionary times.
Taking both buildings and grounds
into consideration" says DIR. o. ID.

and instructor at Princeton, Il think
Princeton presents the most beautiful
view of any university i'm America"
In spite of its history, tradition and
academic atmosphere, Princeton has
some of the newest and most novel
features among universities. One of
these is the system of tutors or pre-
ceptors.
This plan was started by President
Woodrow Wilson," said Doctor Kel-
logg. He believed that the students
would have more interest in their
studies if strong personal relations
were established between instructor
and pupil. The preceptors are chosen
as are ordinary instructors, and are
men who have a close sympathy with
the students"
Meet in Small Groups.
The preceptors meet the students
in groups of from four to twelve at
certain hours, and informally discuss
the lesson. Each undergraduate has
five courses of three hours a week.
Two hours of this are spent in regular
classroom work, one hour in a pre-
ceptorial conference. Students in the
groups are shifted to bring like minds
and capabilities together. The pre-
ceptor has nothing to do with grades,
although he may debar student
whose work has been unsatisfactory
from taking the examinations.
This system has made an improve
ment in studiousness, according to
Doctor Kellogg. when / was stu
dent at Princeton" he said, Il had
many classmates who got through with
little work After the system was in
troduced, the students became more
serious i'm their work. The preceptOrs
are usually well liked, and stimulate
the students to work. However, it is
an expensive system, as there are
more than fifty preceptors employed.
Princeton students frequently go to
New York for amusement. only
