MARTIN Assistant Publicity Secretary ob - fr Evil events come from evil causes, and what we suffer springs gener- ally from what we have done. —Aristophanes. A certain member of the instruc- tional staff of the College a few days ago prompted either by curiousness or remedial intentions pop tested his classes numbering in all about one hundred freshmen with an examina- tion of twetty-five questions concern- ing local phenomena that pass under their observation regularly while en- gaging in the routine of class work or other habitual functions of stu- dents. Probably a few of the questions related to the most evident char- acteristics of less familiar persons or things considering the brevity of circumstances of the average stu- dent’s orbit of perception and dis- cernment; but The Bulletin is certain none of the questions were of the na- ture to make the asking of them any- thing like an impeachment of their habits, prerequisites because of their studiousness. On the contrary they concerned just those parts, persons and appurtenances of this College as by the virtue of being such have ef- fect on the determination of any rule or regulation affecting their own in- dividual restriction or impellation. The questions were all formulated by the teacher himself so that the answer would be the cause of the af- fect of certain conditions surround- ing each student. The result as expressed in the answers given was discouraging to say the least. Considering all classes combined on the basis of one indi- vidual in order to get a compre- hensible average, only forty per cent of the questions were answered in- telligibly. This shows that freshmen gener- ally, for this one hundred was rep- resentative of freshmen, are satis- fied with the effect of circumstances that constitutes their environment or if not exactly content their efforts at alteration operate not to strike the cause but merely to subdue the ef- fect. This is due to inadequate informa- ton, abundantly segregated and con- fined within the Divisions and De- partments of this institution which could be circulated freely in the col- umns of The Bulletin and made com- 0 COLLEGE UP TO NOON YESTERDAY 1609 means removes sophomores, juniors and seniors from suspicion of small knowledge along some of the same lines. Thus it is timely to assume an advisory role in their behalf and rec- ommend a closer attention to facts and occurrences of the past, present and future. We need intra-departmental, inter- departmental and ultra-department- al teaching. Read The Bulletin! ENROLLMENT AT A.

EE RE A SSS SONG ‘OF A FORD The Ford is my car, I shall not want another. It maketh me lie down in wet places. It soileth my soul. It leadeth me into deep waters. It leadeth me into paths of ridi- cule for its name’s sake. It prepareth a breakdown for m2 in the presence of mine enemies. Yea, though it run through the valleys 3 I am towed up the hill. I fear great evil when it is with me. Its rods and its engines discom- fort me. It anointeth my face with oil. Its tank runneth over. ¢ Surely to goodness if this thing follow me all the days of my life I shall dwell in the house of the insane forever. tl Walter Camp, the noted: football expert, is in favor of having the mound used for the kick-off elimin- ated. He argues that there is much waste of time, what with the ball falling off, adjusting it and setting it. just so. A kick-off from the flat would serve as well, he says. ——— eet ema HEAD WORK “How does she marks?” “Takes all her subjects under in- structors, smiles at them, and calls them Doctor.”—Orange Peel. get such high sfpeboeireiesfoiroforocirafoctredssforireiroorirefonocts pefeeioeirebosinds AJ 3 eofocfofoefrairofosfocfocofunirnfoofosfocfocoduniraiosd J + market affords. * I a a HA A A A A AA A Regulation Uniforms All sizes of fine serge uniforms, Stetson army hats, Her- man army shoes, sheep lined overcoats, ete. buttons, insignia and chevrons.

Just why these teams refuse to number their players is not known, but certainly there is no good reason why they shouldn't be. than one period it was almost im- possible to distinguish the different teams, let alone the players. Har- vard, Yale and Princeton are other teams whose players carry no num- bers. sipedrelreipriociefeaiocirafodrsfafoniocfafonirefeaonirefoaonirefoctocirafoatociooforiods | | j CLEANING AND PRESSING CLUB TICKETS $3.00 WORTH OF WORK $2.50 the offi- Before the game had gone more le AA A SC a A a, Tn blab: peli ¥ id rr ET TY rr ———p————r—— + ——— SRY SE + SEEN SSN ew evar o Suma oo
