unity.

Oxford University, England, de-
scribed generally as the last hope
Of triple-crusted Toryism," has put
go-ahead Cambridge to shame in
the matter of bowling the neck to
the female yoke.
Oxford is quietly laughing at the
fuss Cambridge is making over ac-
cepting the inevitable; for Oxford
itself has never regarded the ad-
mission Of omen as a question 4"
Women have slipped into oxford
with scarcely a word and when at
the first matriculation Ceremony
recently, some 130 women presented
themselves there was no demonstra- :
tion, except some subdued "O-o-
ohs!' and a little joyful hum at the
picturesque appearance of the girls
in cap and gown.
This term for the first time STU

ana are subject to the same restric-
tons as the male students. When
matriculatlons are over there will
be 625 fully admitted girl-under-

giates.
This last is the seyerest tapn,
Cambridge has yet received from
Oxford Even the most Progressive
thinkers there have never consi5-
cred the admission of non-coll. riats
students, and there was much
agitation over the Question" y,
admitting students from the old
established Girton and Newnhs m
colleges. III
whereas Cambridge mixes soc,aIIv
with its girl students, il refuses
to mix educationally. On the con
trary. Oxford men have hitherto Isf,
the girls to their own sweet devices
as regards social entertainment hut
have received them with the utnost
gallantry into their educational
eloisters.
However, the girls have been
clever enough to design for them
selves a very pretty cap and gown.
Instead Of the usual stifr four-cor-
nered mortar-board" beloved Of
the university men. the girls have
adopted a natty little soft cap. FOUR

American fathers and mothers
should cut the Santa Claus stuff
in fact, they should make the chill
dren forget it-and instead of teach
ing the kiddies to hang up stock
inEs for Christmas goodies from
Saint Nick's pack. they should set
aside Christmas as a day to con-
template the horrors of war and
the selfshness of human nature, so
say these Boston professors.
Rowdyism Features Fete.
And why do these men, whose busi-
ness II is to teach from great books,
want to destroy the traditions OF
Santa Claus? Because Santa Claus,
with his silver sleigh bells, fast
trotting reindeers, and CHEEKY ldugh

1T Is time we had a real Christ
mas. Where is the world brother
hood at Christmas? Why don't we
ask our children? What is the use
of fightingT and put into their
hearts a horror of war"
DIR. Smith puts all Of the blame on
the grown-ups. He says that people
should stop propagating the fallacy
that the noisy old fogy" exists. DR..
Beebe agrees to all of this and has
tens to add: I'VE Americans have a
tendency to overemphasize the ma

So Santa had better watch his
