ON THE HARVARD CoNTkovEKs,

1t would be very interesting to ask
the restrictionists in the Harvard con
troversy why 1t is that in Turkey and
Armenia tile Christians are thorough
~ hated, prosecuted and from time
to time killed I'm great numbers. why
their fate is very similar to that of
the Jews among ignorant and vicious
Christians?
Is 1t because of their religion or
are the Armenians worse hammered
than the Turks? Hardly. Their re-
fligion is only the pretext.
1t is because Of their average super
iority in everything they undertake,
their higher civilization, 1t Is the vel
low envy of N large majority against
a superior minority.
If that minority would he only
equal in numbers to their prosecutors
| there would be peace and that again
proves that the attitude of an envious
majoriy is not only vicious but ex-
tremely cOwartlly.
The American loves fair play. Above
all he has never been accused Of
being a coward.
Let us look into this mirror OF
events and maintain our reputation

not others do unto you.'

one can see US.
We are able and we do adapt
ourselves to physical conditions
but to mental conditions-we
too often fail to make an effort.
We are only too familiar with
the extremes of feeling; we know
so little of the gradations in be
tween. We would bask lazily in
the glittering sunshine of love,
thinking of no alternative but
shivering in the deep shadows of
hatred.
We refer to our extreme feel
ings as passion. In reality, it is
but lack of equilibrium. We toy
with these words but without
knowing even if we are under the
influence of one of those forces
which pulls to one extreme or
the other. -
The gravest danger is the be-
lief cherished by so many people
that the true equilibrium be-
tween these two poles is indif-
ference. In reality, it is a state
approaching that of Nirvana, q
stage of blissfulness derived
when we are at peace with our
self.

tremes of PASSIONS what
makes us stronger and increases
our resistance to the vicissitudes
of fortune. The magnets on
either end of life must be kept

themselves out or pull US to
destruction. There was a time
when people lived the thoughts
of others; they followed the
teachings of the Bible or what
ever their particular religious
dogma prescribed. Great men

this was in the childhood of hui
Now, we are beginning to grow
up. We have to learn to live ac-
cording to our own thoughts. Or,
we may be drifting like rudder-
less ships, we know not whittier,
from conservatism to radicalism,
from religious fanaticism to re-
ligious freedom.
We can adapt ourselves to any
condition of nature. We can
just as readily adapt ourselves
to any mental condition. 1t may
be good, or it may be bad and
we only think it is right.

Up in the frozen north
where the thermometer
~ sinks to so degrees be-
low zero, there, without even
wood CT coal with which to keep
a fire burning, subsists the
Esquimaux. In the miasmal at
mosphcre of equatorial swamps
where a burning sun sears the
brain, the black man lives in hap
piness and content.
Unlike any other creature, the
human animal can live in any
climate. He not only can live
but he can thrive because he is
able to adapt himself to any con-
dition. This adaptability has
made man the master of the
planet which he inhabits.
We, who live in the temperate
zone under the most favorable
conditions, do not make use of
this advantage with which
nature has endowed US. We
could climb to much higher
stages of happiness and develop
ment if we would only remember
this copy book axiom of our
adaptability.
There would be far less of
tragedy in love and hatred if the
people would only attempt to
reason out why they love and
why they hate. Our idiosyncra-
cies of likes and dislikes are
mostly shadows of an undevelop-
ed mentality.
Orthodoxy impinges on the de-
velopment of fullness in our
lives. Traditional fears, SUPER

Civilized man, like his savage
forbears, is swayed by outer i'm
preston. He is easily adaptable
but he is more easily susceptible.
He either is too callous to finer
impressions or too soft hearted |
to resist attacks made upon him.
If we were making use of our
adaptability we would more
often distinguish between the
finer standings in love and hatred.
But as it is, we lack the balance
which our adaptability should
give us. We are either in the |

New York, Sept. 22-The foot
ball genius of Knute Rockne,
coach at Notre Dame, will be
tested this year as never before. A
letter received today from Rockne
states that not a 1921 regular is on
the squad Of nearly hundred can
didates. A few substitutes, how
ever, are available as nucleus
such plays as Cashier in the back
field; Cotton and Lieb, tackles, and
Carberry, an end.
In addition there seems to be an
abundance of fine former fresh
man material Thus by the end of
the season, Rockne's hopes to have
a team that comes pretty we'll up
to standard will be determined in
the Georgia Tech contest, Oct. 2S.
which will be the first rigorous
test. 1t will also give line upon
Notre Danes chances against
Army, Nebraska and Indiana.
Meanwhile Nebraska is pointing
to the Notre Dame Struggle. The
Cornhuskers should droll along
pretty easily until they run against
Syracuse in the Salt City, Nov. 4.
They will get more than fair test
in that game. They play Kansas at
