where they acquire q certain
amount of polish and enjoy. free
from worries, that most delightful
period Of life.
1.-THE students interest in the ex-
ternal rather than the vital is too APP
parent to require exposition. Three
forms of achievement are coveted
which give immediate and obvious
glory. Places on athletic teams, ed
itorships OF student publications and
presidencies of student organizations
are sought with unflagging zeal
and scholarship relegated to sub
ordinate position. What with ath-
Ietic practice, committee meetings,
play and musical club rehearsals,
moving pictures, dances, intercolleg.
late games and, what is worse, hours
and hours of idle talk about these
and other divisions, little time is left
for the principal purposes Of college
study.
st is discouraging enough for the
college to have to work with such
material. 1t is more discouraging
to have the standards of the general
American life constantly imposed
upon the institution as the case of
intercollegiate athletics. thus effec-
lively preventing the development of
higher aims among students.
