Here is a curious story from North
western University. The varsity
basket ball team has the patriotic fol-
lowing OF the entire institution but it
appears that there is a bit of divi-
sion caused by the fact that the
dental school students are not eligible
for the university outfit. So the
dents" have five of their own. a
good one, too. Intercollegiate inter-
est finally became subordinated to the
vast amount of rivalry engendered
among adhererlts Of the two North
western quintets.
The subject of the relative merits
of the two fives was good for a hot
argument anyway and anywhere. OF
course a game was finally arranged.

know the fashion Of our time affects

enough TO refuse, or plead %honorably
for his eXclusiveness? Somehow the
printer happens to forget his quota

nality goes TO the writer none the less.
The plea is that quoting often i'm

Shakespeare and his contemporaries
were wanting in wit and fine rhetoric.

Is Your Hair Iona?

The fact that a person was wrongly
certified as insane led to a discussion
the other day as to whether long
hair was a sign of insanity. London
Answers states.
1t was said that, although this was
no evidence Of insanity. il might prob
ably be proof of eccentricity. Many
of our greatest geniuses have pos
sessed remarkable crops of hair.
1t was once said that the love of
music. or the possession of musical
talents, tended to increase the growth
of hair. and, indeed, when one looks
round there are many instances to
make this eem feasible.
A great man once made n statement
& the effect that there was only a
thin dividing line between genius and
lunacy. So If long hair is a sign of
insanity and genius and there is only
a thin dividing line between the two.
it behooves us to be very careful
how we treat long-haired, eccentric
looking individuals, for fear they
prove to be some q too great to
risk offending.
