Best Men Have
Gone to Colors

The brainest and best men Of Eu-
rope have gone to the colors. They
have gone from every university of the
nations.
From the figures available in Eng
land we learn that the colleges of this
nation have already furnished over
10000 soldiers for the armies. Lon
don gave nearly one-third of the num-
Der, Cambridge furnished nearly 1900,
and Oxford sent nearly 10000, while
the list was swelled by the schools in
Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
About 10 per cent OF this number
have already been killed and many
others are prisoners in Germany. Over
5000 special honors have been won by
these college men for bravery and deeds
Of distinction.
Terrible as has been the toll exacted
by the war, it seems especially disas-
trous when one considers the character
of college men who have fallen. Here
are but a few Of them: Thomas Agar
Robartes, heir of Viscount Clifden, who
left Oxford TO enter Parliament; Ray
mond Asquith, son Of the former Pre-
mer; f. ". Benson, son of the great
actor, Sir Frank Benson; Rupert
Brooke, already we'll known as a poet
with a large following; G. X Butler,
son Of the master of Trinity; II. T.

THE most BEAUTIFUL" GIRL

- HE was born De Remer and chris
~ tened Rubye, so her name is real
" Rubyc De Remer, even out in Dem
vcr, where she saw the light Of day
twenty years before Rex Beach saw
her and asked her to play the lead in
his Auction Block because, he said,
she was the most beautiful girl he ever
had seen.
This is a bird's-eye view of the ca
reer of Miss De Remer, Of the mid
night Frolic" and the Goldwyn pict-
ures, who year ago had never even
seen that magic street called the
Rialto, with the elusive rainbow at the
end of it.
If Miss De Remers mother had
known just how she would look when
she grew up she probably would have
called her Pearl instead Of Ruby, for
she is divinely tall and oh! most di-
vinely fair. She looks as though she
were made Of peaches and corn silk and
bits Of blue sky and pearls, all fastened
together with crisp, pink icing.
Miss De Remer speaks of her beauty
merely as an accepted fact, for which
she is grateful, but feels that she de-
serves no credit. She seems totally
lacking in conceit, in spite OF the fact
that she was selected TO play the part
Of Lorelei Knight because she was con-
coded to be the most beautiful girl in

we may safely say that few OF them

Economic considerations may prevent
many. but the mass will be prevented
more by the experiences they are re-

the handicap of the expense or the
temptation Of profitable employment

The universities may have to start al

stituency. And this will be by no

close Of this struggle the mind OF the
nation must inevitably turn 70 tne
things Of commerce and industry rather
than to cultural values.
MANY OF the institutions Of higher
learning will suffer intolerably from
lack Of funds. many from the need OF
pn adequate and efficient teaching force
When these things are taken into close
consideration we may feel quite sure
that the European universities must
sail rough seas before they reach again
their place of former influence. ~
would be strange II il were not so; all
the social factors Of the world must
face the struggle, and these may not
plead exemption.
