Cambridge University
Changes Greatly Under
Wars Direct Influence

Cambridge, April 21.-Those who
return to Cambridge University after
thewar will find great changes. There
is in progress not only a great reform
in curriculum, but also a great demo-
cratization of the whole university at
mosphere. In the past the cost of
education at the older English univer-
sites has been a bar to all except
wealthy and very clever students.
Since the war a good deal of atten-
tion has been given to the reduction
of the expenses of undergraduates and
the consequent throwing open of the
university to a much-wider range of
students.
The student after the war will be
offered a short course of study and
longer terms. This will result in n
shortening of the time required for
the university course. But generally
speaking, it has been found that the
heavy cost of u Cambridge education
is not due to- the fees exacted by the
colleges so much as to the extravagant
social habits of theunder-graduate
Steps are being taken to curb all un-
necessary expenditure in this direc-
tion, and the student who comes to
Cambridge with an idea that he can
spend his money freely on all sorts of
pleasures will find himself on bad
terms with the university authorities.
There is to be great liberalization
of the courses of study. Cources in
modern languages. English, economics
and modern science, will be extended
enormously. The whole system of ex-
aminations will be revised and in all
probability the present special exam
nations will be rearranged and stiff
fened. Compulsory Greek will be
abandoned, and those who consider
that military training form part of a
university education are distinctly In
the majority in faculty circles.
For the present, college class rooms
are almost completely depopulated.
Examinations, lectures and class ex-
ercises still go on, but a class exercises
still go on. but class seldom con-
tains more than four or five young
men. Many students whose names ap-
pear on the rolls are only nominally
in college. being either on war duty
with the army or engaged in work ut
various government Offices

The old jokes are often better thar
the new. Years ngo Cincinnati mer-
chant used to have sure-thng joke
that he worked on his friends witt
great success. He would meet n mar.
and start criticizing the mans personal
appearance, and would wait until the
man got good and hot under the collar.
Then the merchant would rub II in b.
Offering to bet that the other mnr
didn't have whole shirt on his back.
The bet was always eagerly and indip
nnntly taken, and the merchant, tho
victim and the Stockholders would re
tire to room. There the victim woulG
take of his coat and vest and display
his shirt. The result was always tn,
same. The Stockholders hnd to admit
that the victim did not have whole
shirt on his back. Half of the shirt
: was on his back, and the other hall

TRAMP KNEW HUMAN NATURE
Gathered Harvest Of Pennies From
Crowd by Getting Them to Laugh
at Themselves.

One of the six orators In Union
square the other afternoon was a blue
eyed tramp, who admitted that he was
the same. He asked those who gath
cred around him If they would give
him a penny every time he said any
thing that made him laugh. His lis
teners were told to put any question to
him and his answers, always amusing,
were given with winning smile and
wink that brought penny after penny.
For more than an hour he held forth
and finally, when his reward seemed
to have reached satisfactory total he
explained that he was going to accept
good will' offering on condition
that what he said was quite true and
"Will you pay me If I'm right?" he
asked. 1--WE WILL" laughed the good
natured audience. "Well," said the
blue-eyed one, this bunch is flock
of easy-gOing birds, who have mighty
little to do. Certainly none of you
has done anything to improve himself
In the last hour, and It's high time you
all went to work or began to think.

the hour, but at least I've picked up q

SCHOOL NOTES
(ey Elizabeth RaIe).

What's the matter with the Fresh
men? They're all right. This was
said by every member of the three
upper classes last Friday night after
the Freshmen party. They certainly
cam entertain. The guests were cor
daily received at the door by bevy
Of pretty Fresh girls and led to the
reception room. There after the
guests had assembled various inter
esting games were played. About 10
O'Clock the guests were escorted
down to the lower floor to the ban
quet room where dainty lunch was
served by the boys of the class, who
wore beautifully embroidered serving
cars and aprons.
The rec eption room was decorated
in black and orange the high school
colors. By this the Freshmen showed
that already they are true and loyal
members of the G. C. U. H. 8. The
three upper classes join in thanking
the Freshmen for their kind hospitaH
ty.
No schccl was held Monday. We
celebrated the birthday of one Of our
most teloyed ex-Lresidents and pre-
server of the union, Abraham Lincoln.
These absent this week were Myrna
Davis and Marguerite Rian. Vacation
does not agree with some Of us.
Judge Matthews gave one of the
finest and most inspiring talks on
Lincoln that has ever been given in
the high school. He took us back in
history to the time when lincoln was
born in rude log cabin In Kentucky
Then through his boyhood when he
had trials that many boys could not
have borne and still hold his head
up. Through his camIRign and cleo
tion to be president of the tottering
United States. How his fine mind
formed plans that always worked out
for the best and how. he was loved
by all.
Mr.. Matthews brought the scenes
ard happenings so clearly to our
minds that we forgot we were in the
school room in Central City. but that
we were in Washington with Lin
coln SO many years ago. We surely
wish to thank Mr.. Matthews most
heartily for giving us his time and
work In such delightful talk.
When the Freshmen boys went in
to the commercial room to get their
bookkeeping books out of their place
ou the shelves they were surprised
to fird valentines lying innocently
ON top of the books. They are still
guessing how Cupid caused them to
be placed there and by whom.
