Glamour Wears Off
and Suffrage Army
Is Weary of Hike
BY ETHEL LLOYD PATTERSON.

LAUREL, Md, February 27-If you
want to know the honest truth, we are all
little tired Of it. The suffrage pilgrims
from New York to Washington have had
about all the walking they really care for
The keen edge is off the sport The most
democratic and athletic marcher now
glances at the passing motor with an ap-
proving, not to say tolerant, eye. 1t will
be pleasant once more to feel wheels of
some description going under one instead
of feet. Even the indefatigable Mrs
Boldt lags little.
AS matter Of fact, there has not been
quite as much open road as we all ex-
pected. With the exception Of two or
three days. the way has been through
Just one little town after the other. Now.
the roads into little towns leave many
things to be desired. To begin with, they
are not even left in a state of nature
Local politicians do what they fatuously
describe as improving Them" which
means laying an occasional piece of flag
glng in a sketchy, impressionistic way
and digging ditch now and then, or a
drain.
Also IL has to be admitted that sooner
or later the first blush Of joy at being re-
garded as something quite as important
and perhaps more unusual than a circus
Will wear off.

Spirit of UNIVERSITY.

The George Washington University
labors under disadvantages in the cultiva-
ton of a university spirit from the cir
cumstances that are generally found in
all urban universities. The schools are
separated at a distance from each other.
There is no dormitory life, there is no
campus. athletics are minimized, and
speaking generally, the limited hours de-
voted to the university are taken up en-
tirely with class instruction. There are,
of course, compensations. There is no
frivolous spirit here. there is no lettering
by the wayside.
I'VE have had our hard times but l
believe the dawn has come of better days
But feel that / have not attained sue
cess for the university. neither will l
attain success for the university until a
better spirit in the alumni exists and
more especially that in the community
of Washington there. exists more SYM
pathy. more confidence and more of civic
responsibility for the George Washing
ton University.
Let the civic spirit in Washington
come to our rescue and / believe for very
shame there will be no longer statements
from our great educational benefactors
that Washington is place to stop tenn
porarily for lunch. but Charlottesville,
Va. is the place for the .higher educa-
stfOn of American citizens"
