Of Missouri University. Ignorance
about this Institution, Mr.. Godsey
says, is the cause of most of the op-
position to it now. But If the boys
and girls of each county conduct a
publicity service and educate the peo-
pie of their communities in Univer-
sity matters, the University will have
many more friends and admirers.
The University curricula would not
suffer by the omission of the writing
of theses in the added training Of
writing interesting, well edited news
letters. In the mind of the journal
list, there is no doubt that the change
would be for the best, in training and
experience. To be able to write a
good letter is harmful to no one and
good letters would make friends for
the University.

MAKING MORE FRIENDS.

The policy of increasing the num-
Der of friends and admirers of the
University as suggested by Rob Roy
Godsey of Webb City has in it a very
practical and logical conclusion Mr.
Godsey suggests the abolition of the
seniors thesis in favor of weekly
news letters written to the home pa
per. Credit would be given, under
his plan. for the letters. and would ap-
ply in place of the thesis work now
required. These letters would have
a personal interest value to each
community and from the newspaper
mans point of view would be much
more valuable as newspaper articles
than any news service the Universi-
ty could maintain.
The result of such a plan. Mr. Cod
sey says. would be the education Of
the newspaper readers In the ia
counties Of the state to the greatness

GOING BACK HOME!

How many of those who are to be
graduated from the University this
June are going back to the old home
town? How many of the class of
1915, who have spent four years at
the states leading educational in
stitution, being 'broadened" by lib
eral education, have not at the same
time been so narrowed that the home
town with it's slowness, its prejudice,
its lack of modern conveniences and
its isolation from life that has become
out of the question to go back there
to live?
Is our educational system educat-
ing us away from home? Does the
average college man feel that he is
wasting his time in going back to the
old town; or that his old home is so

moved, or walked up?
How many of the students who
make fun of the lawyers, doctors and
journalists of their home towns are
willing to go back and by works give
some constructive criticism?
Is not the community which has
by its taxes and vigilance furnished
the means of educating and protect
ing the present college generation,
entitled to some of the advantages of
a little work from those it has thus
advanced?
Is it not more desirable still to be
first in a little Iberian village than
unknown in Rome? The man who
makes good on little job need not
to worry about the big job, for it will
come to him as it did to Cincinnatus
in the days of old. Don't let the
great white way lure you away from
a good job. Go back home and put a
white way down main street"

vice very prevalent in his parish,
and from which report said he was
not himself wholly exempt

take dram, anither Just before

but dinna be always dram drinking.
If We are out in the morn, We may
brace yerself up with anither dram,

let me caution ye, brethren, not to be

THE PHI MU ALPHA.

The Phi Mu Alpha has reason to be
proud of its season this year. 1t has
given to Columbia service of enter
tainments unsurpassed, and Columbia
Las appreciated them.
The growth in strength and repu-
tation Of the Phi Mu Alpha has been
due to its own efforts. Formerly,
when singers and musicians who
were not we'll known were brought
here the people were little skepti-
cal. They wanted somebody whose
name demanded space in large let
ters. With the continued success Of
the concerts, however, the feeling
grew whatever was brought here
would be worth while
Consequently, the attendance has
grown, and it has been easy to get
large crowds to the regular concerts.
But not until Schumann-Heink's con-
cert was the auditorium ever crowded
for one of the extra numbers. The
comparatively high price has always
seemed to keep many away. But
they crowded to hear Schumann-
Heink as they do to attend mass
meeting. The seats were filled, ex-
ira chairs had to be placed in the
aisles, some persons stood on the stairs
and ladders even were placed against
the windows from the outside by per-
sons who had no tickets.
In the audience were persons who
would never attend the concerts be-
fore. because they thought then that
they did not like that kind of music.
They left, however, with an entirely
different notion of what Phi Mu Alpha |
means. This seasons success is
another encouragement to still better
programs in the future.
