JUNIOR CLASS MEETS TO

ed both pro and con. The committee
did not have a ring of the proposed
design, but a drawing showing ex
actly how the new ring would look
was passed upon. There were a num
ber of rings of different colleges and
universities stimulating in design the
proposed type on display. The order
was put in the form of a motion and
a vote was cast, it being agreed
almost unanimously that the new
ring be adopted. The attendance at
the meeting was large and very
representative of the Junior class.
The main ideas which the ring
committee wished to present were
that the new design was their own,
and that everything that was on the
old type would be used on the new.
In addition, around the margin of
the stone the name of the school and
the date when it was founded will
be engraved in raised letters of
fairly legible size.

MODERN YOUTH.
Flaming youth is flickering. The
flapper and the jellybean prototype,
the cynical super-sophisticated pose,
and the bold, bad front, young peo
ple like to assume, are alike disap
pearing. Good manners, courtesy, and
I
even a little modesty, are returning.
Not that the young people have
been so bad. Their manners and their
exterior, not their morals, have been
perhaps, worse than those of the
“gay nineties.” Alarmists, who de
pict such a doleful state in the mor
als of modern youth, would be shock
ed if they knew what a large per
cent of college men do not smoke.
The ways of the younger set are
no longer as fashionable as they were
now since the older generation has
adopted them. It is not so smart to
brag of the gin you can guzzle, the
sigarettes you can down, or the elo
quence with which you can swear,
when some matron twice your age
can perform these feats with an
adeptness equal to yours. And the
drug store corner loafer dresses and
acts more collegiate than the college
man can.

Here you have an inspiring picture.
Co-operation. The “vet” encouraging
the novice. All industry rooting for
achievement.
It is not surprising then that so many
men have found the interests of
after-college years fully as broad
and as absorbing as those of un

SINCE 1882 MANUFACTURERS FOR THE BELL SYSTEM

When the blatancy of post-war
youth is discarded a happy combi
nation will result. For the superfi
cially and the woodenness of the
nineties have been relegated to a
limbo; from which, we hope, they
will never return. And when the nat
uralness and the frankness, which
are a product of this “jazz-mad”
age, are coupled with refinement,
modesty, and good manners, young
people will be in a more praisable
(or perhaps less vituperated) state
than ever before.—Ex.
FRESHMEN FEWER.

parently the other institutions on
the theory that their trends are
more settled and indicative of ordi
nary conditions the country over.
It finds that among those ninety
schools freshmen were fewer in 1928
than in 1927, and total enrollment
was only a little larger.
Of students of all kinds in these
institutions there are now about
850,000, an average of almost 10,000
per school. California now has
26,562 and Columbia 32,036. The
former is the largest on the basis of
the number of full-term students
and the latter first in the total
number enrolled. The University
of Texas is fifteenth in the list on
the basis of regular full-time stu
dents and twentieth when every stu
dent of every sort is counted by all
schools.
How far the Transcript’s figures
are reliable is a matter of question
in some points, at least; for the
ten largest colleges exclusively for
women, as given by the Transcript,
include Hunter, Smith, Wellesley,
Florida State College for Women,
Vassar, Mount Holyoke, Goucher,
Radcliffe, Randolph-Macon and El
mira. But the College of Industrial
Arts at Denton shows an attendance
of 2,343, which would place it ahead
of any school in this district except
Hunter, which is credited with 4,918
students. Unless the Transcript has
made other important omissions, the
Denton school is the second largest
woman’s college in the country.—
