Students Interest Tends to Sociology

Much attention has been focW on a survey item published, Octobtr 14, in The New York Times. This survey shows that enrolment in Amer- ican universities and colleges has in- creased this year considerably. Credit for the larger enrollment is. divided between two factors: Government aid and the improved economic conditions of the country. The Pacific coast universities show the largest increase in enrollment with the middle western institutions running second.

A survey of the student groups re- veals them to be more thoughtful and seriously inclined than groups of a few years ago. The survey showed that the majority of students' choice of courses tended toward those of a sociological nature. Economics and government appeared to be the first choice; next in popularity were soci- ology and political science. In the south, business, law, and agriculture, are being given most attention.

What does this survey signify? We feel it means that the college popu- lation is more wide awake and alert to the economic problems gripping our country. It is focussing atten- tion on the important phases of society which have been heretofore neglected. It recognizes the existence and alarm- ing increase of crime, the hovering shadows of impending war, the ques- tion of unemployment, government expenditure, disarmament, and many phases of the New Deal. With the awakened consciousness of social and economic interdependence and the in- terest of college youth turned toward the betterment of prevailing condi- tions, is it too much to hope for a government more efficiently organized and more competently directed in the near future?

John Marshall, James Monroe, John Tyler, Winifred Scott and Peyton Randolph. And first among its "firsts is its memory of giving George Wash- ington his commisison of surveyor— his first public office, to be succeeded in time by_tb* which he held till death, as Chancellor of the College of William and Mary.

With the inauguration Oct. 20, of John Stewart Bryan as the nineteenth president, the college which has gath- ered inio itself so much of distinction from the proud records of its gradu- ates takes added luster from the attrac- tive personality and brilliant achieve- ments of one of the foremost public men of our day. His selection as presi- dent is a happiest solution of a prob- lem always difficult for colleges and universities. So varied are the re- quirements under the tradition of this unique office that few can meet them to the full. Mr. Bryan brings to it a national reputation, but even better than that an acquaintance with the deep Virginia background as well as its present life and institutions. Above all is the fine figure of a man whom this generation is proud to offer as leader to the next—and as a paradigm.

Every collega of liberal arts in America must have a feeling of deep regard for this college—the first en- during example of the American col- lege—a college that for more than two hundred years has remained a college and has given to America its foremost society of scholars in Phi Beta Kappa. The newspaper men of America should be especially proud that a member of the Fourth Estate has come to the presidency of Amer- ica's oldest continuing college.—The New York Times.

TOM SAY'S Ton my soul, the campus has

been turned into a goats' paradise.

Exchanges

The Tulane Hullabaloo announces that the honor system in their college of Arts and Sciences has been abolish- ed. The honor system doesn't seem to work so well in a large institution, and in this case it appears as if "half a loa£ is worse than none."- -The Tulane Hullabaloo.

Student Teacher: "What is poetry,

Mary?" Mary: "Poetry is when every line

begins with a capital."

A freshman was walking back to campus one day in the rain. She had not been here more than a week, but in that time she had learned that H. T. C. girls were not to ride from town with men. Hearing a car start to halt beside her she shook her head and walk- ed on.

A voice from the car: "Want a ride?"

Freshman: "We can't ride with men."

The car drove on wi^. Dr. Duke grinning to himself behind the wheel.

Creativencss is surely coming forth from Mr. Logan's advanced composi- tion class. One student reads a paper in which she spoke of a fly on a bald man's head.

■ Mother (to modern youngster): "But, dear, why do you want more building blocks? You have so many now."

M. Y.: "But, mummy, I want to buld a ceiling scraper."

POETRY

Beginning last Sunday, a series of topics based on Moments Wth The Master will be carried out on each fol- lowing Sunday service. The first one of this series, Prayer, was used for the theme of this program.

With the singing of the hymn, In The Hour of Trial, the service opened on Sunday afternoon. Luemma Phipps, read for the scripture lesson Mark 1:35, 6:35, and Luke 5:16. After this the Lord's Prayer was prayed in uni- son. Elizabeth Gilley then read a poem titled The Day Was Long; a duet, The Beautiful Garden of Prayer was sung by Adelaide Howser and Audrey Slaughter. In keeping with the topic for the afternoon, Henrietta Manson gave a short talk and leaving with us the question: "Why should we not say, Lord, Teach us to pray?"

Old "William and Mary"

The College of William and Mary, old in years for an American institu- tion, renews its youth "like the eagle." Second only to Harvard in its char- tered age, it was the first college in the United States to have a full faculty, the first to employ the elective system, the first to have a school of modern languages, the first to teach political economy and the first to have a school of modern history. It was also the first in Virginia to establish a school of medicine, to establish a department for training men to teach in the public schools and to offer extension courses —a goodly number of "firsts" which testify to its pioneering spirit. But the old yet ever-young college has also given men who have been among our "firsts": notably Thomas Jefferson,

The Y. W. C. A. was fortunate in having Dr. Campbell of the Lynchburg Baptist church speak at the service, Thursday, October 18. Dr. Camp- bell stressed in his talk, two points why each of us should make effective our individual testimony for Christ. First, the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ is the one hope of the world today. Second, "if we, a group of favored students, are not able to see this then who is going to make the religion of Christ effective in every community"?

Dr. Campbell gave as an example the testimony of Stephen who was stoned to death for his loyalty to the Christian faith. In closing, he urged each member of the group to see that the Christ of that religion is her best friend and everlasting counselor.

The service was conducted by Mary Page Barnes.

To all Goats: "I know a man who lived for two weeks on garlic alone."

"Well, any man who lives on garlic ought to live alone."

Dorothy, aged three, had been pre- sented with a five dollar bill. She was delighted and showed it to every call- er. Finally, one asked teasingly, how she knew the bill was for five dollars.

Puzzled, the child studied a moment and said: Well, the price is on it. o

Chatter

We hear the Greek Mythology class has been tearing the veil from the past life of one of our dear professors— only to discover that one night he brought Hebe home on the back seat of the family car and gave her a bath when she got there. Just a statue, after all!

Then there was the junior in Jackson who got 20 letters from V. P. I. from 20 different boys—all the same day, too. There's something about a sol- dier, girls.

One of the most impressive of all ceremonies at Westhampton College is one which takes place, not before an assembled audience, but in the pres- ence of the student's own conscience. Once a year each girl, alone, enters the College Government room and there, before a black-clad senior, pledges her- self to strict honor in all her dealings with her fellow students.

The first section of the Honor Pledge is the most inclusive, as it em- bodies the student's personal honesty.

In the second part of the Honor Pledge comes the promise to abide by the institutions of the school.—The Richmond Collegian.

We have here excerpts from two colleges dealing with the same ques- tion, the Honor System. In the first, we see that because the Honor System was not 100% successful, it was abol- ished entirely. In the second, it prob- ably is not a perfect system but as the roots of the Honor System are so firmly imbedded in each girl, it is con- sidered a vital part of their school life. We, also, have an Honor System. I am wondering which of the attitudes given above will be a standard for us. Let us take this tradition seriously and make it a fixed part of our college career.

Titles Contributed by the Virginia State Library

Cabell, Branch, Smirt; an Urbane Nightmare. New York, Robert Mc- Bride & Company, 1934. xxi, 309 p.

Mr. Cabell, in this, the first novel he has published since he completed his series on Poictesme and dropped the James from his name, writes in his usual ironic, urbane, and scintillating fashion of the trials, tribulations and misconceptions that make up the life of a distinguished author. The reader may believe or not, as he chooses, that the hero of the novel is Mr. Cabell himself.

I saw colored fairies dancing In the sunlight gently prancing; I heard elves tell all their secrets— Scorned to call them groups of leaflets. I saw earth her troops assembling, Felt her every throb and trembling; Wondered at the certain fleetness She must lose her autumn sweetness. Ah, I loved it so, you knew, But I could have loved you, too, Had you seen the beauty nigh us, 'Stead of cars go whizzing by us.

—V. V. C.

RIGHT AND WRONG

"This is right and that is wrong," I said, for I was very young

And very wise, and quick to speak. Then words rolled glibly from my

tongue. But now I'm older I'm afraid

My. stock of wisdom's growing small;

For right and wrong seem strangely mixed,

Till I can draw no line at all. —WINIFRED W. WARREN.

CHOICE

People who live in great cities Have brighfness late and soon;

Their eyes are dazzled by candles— They cannot see the moon!

People who build mighty buildings Are lauded near and far;

But when they enter their dwellings— They cannot see a star!

People who live for the night-time Have parties and mad, dashing fun;

But they sleep away hours of day- time—

They never see the sun!

And who were the three little jun- iors who were visiting on Mason Street last Sunday afternoon.

is another of the more readable articles. The author discusses the fallacy of treating girls as if they were the "sugar and spice" of nursery tales. She sets forth the values received by treating them as boys' equals.

WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE

I know of one with beauty such That words the poets use fail much Her to describe. Nor can I state

In ordinary terms a charm so great: Eyes iodine-on-starch look out From 'neath her amber hair; Her lily teeth shine pleasantly, Her bleached brow is square.

(A lady you can see she is, The "fairest of the fair.")

The stop-light color of her lips Seems wonderful indeed; She told me once its meaning—this: "Go slowly. Do not speed."

(It was a caution which, I found, Was very hard to heed.)

I cannot fail to approbate Her celluloid ear: Its equal I have never seen Upon my native sphere.

(Thought of its perfect beauty brings

A sentimental tear.)

But, oh, her nose—I say, her nose! Words fail me here in truth. No human sound is adequate, And I must cease, forsooth!

(It grieveth me to close my song So early in its youth.)

Grading System Criticized

(By Associated Collegiate Press) Schenectady, N. Y.—"A great de-

fect of the American educational sys- tem is due to the fact that too many students are more interested in grades than they are in acquiring knowledge," said Dr. William W. Bennett, profes- sor of economics at Union College, in speaking to the students on the rating systems used by educational in- stitutions.

"We have developed the technique of grades to a ridiculous degree," said Dr. Bennett. "In some institutions the grades are computed by means of higher mathematics. The final grade, which is filed with the registrar at the end of the year is too often a compil- ation of recitations, hour tests, written reports, and the final examination.

"It seems to me as about as reason- able to include tests in the final mark as to count the touchdowns made by the varsity against the freshmen in practice games with the touchdowns made during the regular Saturday game. Tests should be considered as scrimmages or practice games to assist in preparation for the examination, which, if properly comprehensive, may determine the degree of competence attained in the course."

Dr. Bennett suggested that the grad- ing of students in large general groups such as A, B, C, or D would be a desirable trend in the development of examinations and gradings.

In reply to the students who want to be exempted from examinations if they attain an average of 85 or more, Dr. Bennet said, "good students should be given comprehensive examinations if they want to try for scholastic hon- ors, while others who may not desire to try for such honors might be ex- empted from taking exams, if any are to be exempted."

ENGLISH FLYERS, C. W. JA. Scott and T. Campbell Black, were the victors in the MacRobertson Trophy air race from London to Melbourn, Australia, Tuesday, winning the $50,- 000 prize, cutting short the flight re- cord by 4J days. One accident oc- cured during the race when two Bri- tons were killed as their plane crashed near Rome. The Dutch plane of American make, was second in the race. The flying time of the victors was 4 days, 13 hours, and 11 minutes.

German CATHOLICS are preparing to renew their opposition to the Nazi adminstration, protesting that they are suppressed and their priests are per- secuted. The Nazi dictator, who has commanded that many parts of the Bible and Catholic ritual be ommitted from the German church services, still rqfuses to tolerate their revolt. But Hitler, suffering with a toothache, postponed the speech he was to make to the German people concerning it until a later date.

PRESIDENT ROSEVELT made nation-wide radio appeal Monday for the support of charities. Worthy lo- cal charities, he states, are our best assurance against starvation and crime aside from the already too-heavily burdened government.

Anglo-Japanese naval conversations opened Tuesday in London to discuss probpble proposals at the 1935 naval conference. Japan, dissatiisfied with her 5-3 ratio with the United States and Great Britain, will ask a 5-5 ratio. England has already announced that she will refuse to tolerate such a ratio.

Soviet representatives in Tokyo Monday asked two different things of international importance to Russia and Japan. An appeal was made to the World Red Cross to re-open its drive for peace to the world, and final settlement on sale of the Eastern Chinese Railway was asked. The rail- road problem was left open till the re- sults of the London naval conversa- tions are known.

President Roosevelt and Governor Peery Receive

Degrees

President Roosevelt and' Governor Peery were awarded the degree of doc- tor of law by William and Mary Col- lege Saturday, Oct. 20, when Dr. John

Stewart Bryan of Richmond was in- augcrated as nineteenth president of the 241 years old college.

President Roosevelt said in his ad- dress , "The purpose of education, shown by the various subjscts of in- struction, indicated by the builders of William and Mary, was not to train specialists, but educate men broadly. They were attempting not only to train doctors, lawyers, and business, but to broaden men of the world. They were in short training men for citizenship in a great republic.

President Bryan in his inaugural ad- dress said the institution's (highest ambition during his regime would be to inspire his students so that they will restore in formed good citizenship to its proper place as the chief avoca- tion of gentlemen.

Dr. Bryan described Mr. Roosevelt as the only Democratic president to be honored while "alive and in office." The President smiled, said he was "happy to be alive and to be the only President who during his life and dur- ing his presidency received this dis- tinction."

President and Mrs. Duke, with friends from Harrisonburg, attended the ceremonies.

"I was surprised," said Dr. Duke, "to find how the President of our country overcame physical handicaps by sheer will power. I think this should be remembered by us when we are grieving over our troubles." o

Dr. Frederikson Says Re- covery Is Progressing

Slowly

In speaking of our present economic condition, Dr. Frederikson in chapel on Friday, October 19, stated, "Re- covery is progressing very slowly." He based his assertion on the gradual rise of the business index, followed by a slight decline. Dr. Frederikson point- ed out the gigantic debt that our country is amassing daily, an expendi-

of six million dollars a day is ture being spent for relief and other phases of the New Deal.-..According to the last Literary Digest Roll, 51% of the people favor it; 49% oppose it making almost an eVen break in opinion.

Dr. Frederikson mentioned briefly current affairs in foreign countries. India is quieter than ever as Ghandi's power seems to be slipping. Japan insists upon the equality of armament. Among the prominent mishaps in the last few months, Dr. Frederikson cit- ed the murder of Dollfuss; death of Von Hindenburg; the murder of the last real King of Europe, Alexander; increasing radicalism of Hitler; and the death of Raymond Poincare. Just how many of these occurrences will cause further complications (in the European situation remains to be seen.
