School or Mob Spirit?
Although we feel that the final (though late!) approval
of the Auatin invitation, by the Corpn, was made through the
impreMflionability of 'the student lx>dy; and not through a
realization of the advisability of the move, we are glad to
voice our commendation!
It should have been this realization of the benefit that
would have been afforded our school, however, that caused
the decision in favor of the trip, and not the surging of
feeling that comes when some spirited person (our neighbor)
shouts: “Let’s GO!” ;
i That these spirited persons prompted the admittance of
a mistake is true, ami that this admittance was noble is ~
also true, hut the fault in our nature that necessitates such T

cognizance, and if we can only lie made to support the good )
through loyalty to our leaders, then we are instinctive in- |
stead of thoughtful—all feeling and no reason.
The essence of all religion, the lieginning of all idealism,
ami the foundation of all nobleness exists’in the cultivation
of an altruistic personality—hut WE HAVE NO PERSON

A more useful question might be:
“How wide, how deep, how perma
nently watiMfying ia my culture?"
Will a taste for radio, for example,
no matter how genuine, how highly
informed, or how’ independent of
possible profit it may be. be
enough to make your life inter
esting? Will it lead you by de
grees into understanding your
neighbor, and therefore into toler
atmg him with intelligent sympa
thy? Will it help directly to make
you a sensible member of society?
Don’t let anybody tell you that
the Aggies are not caltared. In
eighteen years, I have rarely found
an Aggie who lacked aa informed
intereat in something for ita own
sake. That culture has nearly al
ways been genuine and. like all
genuine culture, unaffected, and
unpretentious, and genuineness of
interest is the rarest quality among
people who pride themselves on
their “culture.” So, personally, in
spite of its tendency to narrowness.
I prefer the genuine culture which
I find among the Aggies, to the
more dressy article which appears
too often among people who cul
tivate the "rultural"- arts and
graces.

Pipe tobacco made
by the Wellman Process
and rough cut as Granger
is, does not clog the pipe
but stays lit, smokes
longer, slower and cooler.
Wc believe this process is
the reason for Granger being
milder. "
Wc know it adds something
to the flavor and aroma of the
good, ripe White Burley Tobac
co that cannot be obtained in
any other way.

could get every man who smokes
