Harvard or Amherst?
n ERS1STENT reports that Har-
ward University is consider

~ ERS1STENT reports that Har-
ward University is consider
i ing the beginning of discrim-
nation In one way or another
against jew and negro continue to
alarm liberal and civilized alumni
and citizens. A Harvard man is
writing this editorial, and he is
only one of many who feel that no
matter what the difficulties are
or the material loss in diminished
number of students involved in
being faithful to the old Harvard
spirit, such difficulties and such
loss should be accepted as a small
price to pay for spiritual purity
and high renown.
If Harvard deserts it's fine ideals
and it's unworldly standards of toll
erance for all, irrespective of race
or religion, it will surely lose its
prestige. Some other university is
bound to appear which will carry
on with energy and without COM
promise the standards which have
made Harvard what it is. Perhaps
a college like Amherst, which of
recent years has made notable
effort to meet courageously and
with imagination the needs of the
new time and to give full value to
the self-controlling ideal of de-
mocracy, may be able to unite the
old traditions and the vital prob
lens of today successfully. If so,
the sons of some Harvard men will
go to Amherst with the feeling
that they are not departing from
Harvard, but, rather, are following
its true spirit.

Let the Lady Pursue

THE newspapers tell of Marian
McCollum, modern woman
i of the latest feminist ideas
who intends to pursue her own
life and not let her husband inter
fere. The lady keeps her own name
and is now going abroad to study
art for a year while her husband
remains here.
: A man in Chicago who told the
judge, the other day, that his wife
was in the habit of beating him,
would probably be glad if his
spouse followed Marian McCollum s
example. Very likely there are
others-a thousand, a million, who
knows?
Absence makes the heart grow
fonder. But, land s sakes! what
would happen if all wives went to
Europe to study art and left their
husbands here2
Still, we believe in letting them
have their way, bless their hearts,
whether they are up to date or
behind the age. If Marian McCol-
lum is happy in pursuing her life
across the ocean, let her pursue it.
We even hope she catches it
that is, if she wants to.

viii the Women Lead?

ARS. ANNA DlCklE OLESON,
W chosen as Democratic nomi-
AVx nee for United States Sen
atorship from Minnesota, advocates
a peoples bloc, and says she stands
for equal rights for all and special
privileges for none.
Further, she claims that her Min
nesota Democratic platform fairly
agrees with the Progressive Repub-
lican platforms Of States that have
nominated candidates against pres
ent conservatives.
Perhaps the advent of women in

Movie Stuff

rOYS' LIFE, the Boy Scouts
x magazine, tells the story Of
- John j. Cotter, an engineer
on the Erie Railway, who, while
driving his train at high rate of
speed, saw on the track ahead a
baby just able to toddle.
He slammed on the air and the
brakes spat fire, but he knew the
train would never stop before it
hit the child, so he climbed out of
the cab and hurried along the run
ming board of the locomotive to the
pilot. Then, climbing down to the
cowcatcher, he leaned over and
reached ahead of the engine, sweep
ing the child up in his arms as the
locomotive thundered over the spot
where the baby, paralyzed with
fear, had been.
Movie stuff" he called it when
his friends congratulated him on his
quick thinking and quick action.
This '-rcident, as related in
Boys Life, makes us wonder why
it is that nobody ever says any
thing about the good suggestions
that people get from the movies.
We are always talking about the
evil effects of picture plays upon
the youth; but, come to think of it,
has there not been many a good
