ON TRADITION We agree with you in that the campus idiocies and incongruities are both useless and obsolete, and that something should be tried which would have a chance for a small de gree of success in placing them on the shelf permanently. A tradition is easily made—the trouble comes in casting it aside when its usefulness has come to an end. It seems true in our case that a thing once done be comes a tradition, good or bad. They are not like old clothes, but have an uncanny tenacity for holding a prom inent place. The trouble lies in at tempting to weed out those which are harmful in effect and casting them aside. On the other hand, it is evident to the person possessing at least a small amount of common sense that cynicism greatly facilitates the work of the reformer. Undoubtedly it is a powerful weapon. However, it too can be overdone. If it accomplishes its purpose in so many words, then I is the time to desist. Why try to tear away the last remnants of a once | great belief? If that which we still have left to us serves a purpose, then let us keep it. It may be com paratively easy to analyze some of our present day doctrines and prove that there is nothing to them. Civil ization is largely maje up of false pretenses and sham, it must be ad mitted. Therefore, since the world is con stantly changing it is the best policy to keep up with it. In our own case it is evident how easily this fact will apply. But if there are some of us who still believe we are one great brotherhood, and if this belief works to our advantage in the capacity of making life here just a little more bearable, then why should it be dis solved.
