Roger IBresnahan's men have been one of the surprises of a surprising season.

The Open Column


Editor the Missourian: The enthl-
siasm over the big football game
which was played here Thursday
brings up the question of intercd-
legiate athletics. Is it an unqualified
good or evil or mixture of both? Il
ii contains both good and evil, whidl
element predominates?
Upholders of the intercollegiate
sport talk vaguely OF school patrioi
ism. of sportsmanship and of publicit.
But, is not school patriotism Often
merely a euphemistic way of r.
ferring to the fact of hatred of oth,r
schools? Does not the sportsmanshp
frequently deteriorate both in qualify
and quantity? AS for the publicity.
what about the school with the losiIg
team?
On the other hand, while the ind
viduals on the teams may derive some
psychological benefit from playirg
other schools, the physiological d
fects are much greater. Especially n |
football is the hard training partici-
larly deleterious to the future healh /
Of the player. But, even If the physip-
logical effects were not so great, whit |
good does the student body at large
derive from the intercollegiate cor I
tests? The main defect of the en-
phasis upon intercollegiate athletiS
Is that the system results in few
,vertrained individuals with the PHI
'ical development of the greater pait

WHERE STRIFE is USELESS

In Lord Morley's Life Of Glad
stone" we read that Mr.. Gladstone
once said: Certainly one of the les
sons life has taught me is that where
there is known to be a common OBJ
ject, the pursuit Of truth. there should
also be a studious desire to interpret
the adversary in the best sense his
words will fairly bear; to avoid what
ever widens the breach, and to make
the most Of whatever tends to narrow
1t. These l hold to be a part Of the
laws of knightly tournament"
To these laws Mr.. Gladstone sedul-
ously conformed, Lord Morley adds.
and he hopes that perhaps at some
happy time before the Day of Judg-
ment they may be transferred from
the tournament to the battlefields of
philosophy. criticism and even poll
tics.

COLUMBIA's SYMPHONIES

AS Ann Arbor prides itself upon its
May festival and Lindsberg upon its
great oratorios, SO Columbia Is be-
coming famous In musical circles for
its symphonies, which have appeared
here from time to time under the aus
pices of Phi Mu Alpha.
st. Louis and Kansas City are the
only other Missouri cities where these
symphonies can be heard. Concerts
in the past have proved an efficient
advertising medium for this city. Visit
ing artists have carried news of Co
lumbia's cultural and musical inter-
ests into eastern cities. Every great
musical agency sends its representa-
tives here once or twice year.
The symphony concert is usually
considered the highest attainment in
musical art. With an annual series Of
symphony concerts assured for Colum-
bia, many persons would be attracted
here, enhancing material, as well as
cultural, values.
Columbia is primarily city Of ed
ucational interests. Its fundamental
asset is a cultural and artistic one.
The symphony concerts are partic-
ularly appropriate for a city of Co
lumbia's character. Columbia owes it to
the four or five thousand students and
music lovers here to help provide the
symphony concerts that the colleges
cannot afford unaided In supporting
such an annual series of concerts Co.
lumbia would be promoting its own
ideals.
Wouldn't it be worth while to sup
port it?
