1 The seiiate haa been needing this type
interest, bbth frorh it’s members and the
students it represents, for some time. As
the nearest thing fo complete student rep

getting our several diversified student
elements together,, W ■ \
I The good which the senate can do is
unlimited. If the students are ihterested
ih its fuinctiofiH and feed Jt ide^s; ,if the
senators themselves will develop ft genuine
cbncei>r for the idverall welfare of the
school and not their own isolated clique;
tnen the senate will succeed,
! And a succesgful, intellikdnt senate will
mean student liberties and!privileges that

that he is not a member of arjy

His background would be investi

his relatives for four generations

I The American PeoJilc, by-
Geoffrey Gorer, W; W. Norton
& Company, Inc., New; York,
New York, 1918. jj
The American People i(i: a pene-
ti|ating study of the American
character. It’s too penetrating.
Mr. Gorer goes deep intio'Thc cav-'
ernouH labyrinths that ‘hide our
f‘true” national character.; He goes
no deep that I couldn’t stay with
him without occasional tripe top-
aiidb for air.
! Gorer made his study Using so
ciological and psychological tech-
,n ques. The result is that the book
d ffers from the usual “impres
sions America made on me” type
of lM>ok. It is a loosely kiftt collec
tion of some very dpseUyjknit ob-
survation*. He took some uppar-
, c Uly unimportant fftetoto in oar
liyes and by subtle and: sometimes
brilliant insight made pwri of their
sign if
lie studied mar
nown. |j
of our national
/
Since his wit is one of the most
attractive things about the book it
deserves special mention. It is ^so
phisticated. It is iconoclastic. It is
disturbing. . The inteligentsia on
the other side of the Atlantic will
probably find it hilarious. But Joe
Miller’s Joke Rook will always be
more popular here in the U. S. It’s
an American, characteristic.
I recommend this book to ; all
budding sociologists, psychologists
and politicians. It can be a valu
able aid in the interpretation of
the American character, j
