Harvard Students
Are Played by
Rev. A. P. Fitch

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 22.-(Spe-
ciaD.-Rev. Albert P. Fitch. Harvard
90, strongly criticized undergraduate
thought in the University chapel Sun
day.
The Harvard Crimson. the college
daily, was the main object Of his at
tack. He f1ayed the editorial policy of
the paper, pointing out an editorial
which discussed Watch Your Step" a
musical comedy, as a pitiable example
Of how weak and superficial Is the
trend Of undergraduate thought.
Chapel attendance at Harvard is
voluntary, but the number Of students
attending has doubled during the past
week as a result Of DR.. Fitch's plain
speaking about college affairs.
Coach Percy Haughton came in for
a share Of his scathing criticism early
last week. DR.. Fitch said that the
coach deliberately encouraged gam
bling when he told the Harvard stu
dents that they should bet even money
on the Yale game at the big mass
meeting.

that is not thoroughly understood is
the fact that all answers must be con-

is absolutely necessary. II this rule

Dear Sir:
Are the foreign names. especially the

how is the ordinary reader going to
know the meaning Of those words. Can
you refer me to any source of infor-
nation as to the meaning of the In
dian names in particular?
l suppose l am right in assuming
that all these foreign names are to be
used and must all be considered by
the committee, but it seems to me that
this feature of If will soon diScnIra q O
the most Of your readers who now
think Of entering the contest and will

interpret the meaning of any language
other than English. However, it is be-
yond the power of the contest editor
to prevent contestants or judges from
interpreting the answers in whatever
way they wish as long as they confine
them to the Ready Reference Record.

TO THE PICTURES WILL BE JUST

BREAKING A RECORD.

How would you like to be able TO
walk up to the receiving teller's Win
down of a bank, turn in a deposit and
watch the teller run up on the adding
machine a list of the checks six feet
long?
That's what one of the customers OF
the Bank of Hattiesburg did yesterday.
The deposit in question amounted to
several thousand dollars and was
made up of several hundred checks,
most of them foreign checks. The
transaction is significant because it
means that this large sum of money,
practically all of it from out of the
city, has come into Hattiesburg within
the last few days
The foreign clearings of the Bank
of Hattiesburg are growing rapidly;
the volume OF such checks handled
Yesterday was one of the largest in
the history of the institution: all of
which sounds mighty good when It is
remembered that the real prosperity
of any community depends largely on
the amount of money which comes
into that community from other com
munities.
