CAMPUS URGED
Speaker Scores Professors
for Adopting Easy
vernaCuIar.'

Colleges and college professors are
like BARRIERS who never get hair
cut, they persist in using the easy
Vernacular of the day instead of
the thoroughbred English which
they teach.
With this declaration, DR.. William
Mather Lewis, president Of Lafay-
cite college, Easton, Pa, spoke to
the Council OF Church Boards of
Education this afternoon in the
Claypool.
THE use OF thoroughbred English
Is all too rare on American cam
puses The college faculty is to
blame for adopting too often the
easy yernacular of the day." he said
in discussing the college and its
contribution to leisure OF students.
He urged stimulation of apprecia-
ton OF good music and charged
Jazz" in colleges direct to the
pedagogues.
Architecture Is Criticised
We speak of our youths as being
jazz-mad but the fact is they &C
cept the type of music which is
given them. They did not create
jazz-their elders brought it to
them" he said.
He decried the use of cheap
plays" by college dramatic CLUBS
and favored the use of successful,
WeI-known manuscripts.
The barbs of his talk struck at
many campus "monstrosities in
architecture.
These monstrosities could be
helped by planting ivy TO cover the
defects of the architecture. Stand
ing as they do they Go not elevate
the taste of students" he said.
Athletics Attacked
During the morning session Of the
council Dean Lucy Jenkins Frank
lin, dean of women of Boston uni
versity, read paper urging health
education for parents, home build
ing in colleges.
She attacked athletics as They
have passed the play stage and now
belong in the category Of competi-
tive business"
To-day is the day of individualism
of religion and it is the duty of the
home and school to help young peo-
pie choose by clearing away the I'M
derbrush of everyday problems" she
said

Stons and certain leased territories.

Mrs. Tubbs said today. NO matter

IN either sport until this year.
President of Class.
About a month ago Sheridan was
elected president Of his class, an un-
usual distinction for a man entering
West Point as he did He was not there
through congressional appointment,
but because he fought for the privilege
OF becoming a cadet with the same de-
termination with which he battled for

Sheridan worked his wav into the
Military Academy from the Army, in
which he enlisted several years ago. It
was because of his work as an ordinary
soldier that he was sent 10 Mcpherson.
His ambition was to become q Cavalry

He was elected class president by
