Far Better Than Indifference
Professor H. A. Yeomans, retiring dean of Harvard College, re
cently expVessed the opinion that the college student of today has
shown a marked improvement over the student of 25 years ago. He
can sec much good now being accomplished among the students who
attend college by the installation of original processes of thinking
for themselves.
“The student does and says things that his elders, including the
Dean, does not always approve, but he is in earnest,” declares Dean
Yeomans. “He criticizes the faculty and especially the officers of
the administration, sometimes with reason, sometimes without; but
criticism, even if it he always unreasonable, is better than indiffer
ence.”
The assertion is a tribute to free thinking students, who take the
liberty to criticize at will, knowing full well that all men are human.
In most universities and colleges where the faculties and adminis
trative officers are seeking to develop the minds and offer a liberal
education to the fullest extent, students are allowed these privileges.
Yet, at the present time, the institutions of higher education are
undergoing the most severe gruelling from those on the outside, who
are unfamiliar.
The far-seeing have prophesied wisely, for uncensored thinking
is one of the first qualities sought for in the college man or woman.
The faculty and administrative officers who allow students to think
out their own problems are to be commended. Likewise they are to
be commended for withholding the mailed fist where there is no
call for it.
The Smoke of Battle
A nows account from the University of Southern California makes
it known with pride that the institution is “the first great university
to open its doors to the No Tobacco League; also the first to offer a
scholarship for the winning oration on the subject of ‘Tobacco’!”
Tobacco manufacturers have doubtless already begun to quake in
their boots.
Tobacco constitutes surely and admittedly one of the petty viees
of present day civilization and the Trojan school, which harbors over
4000 students in the heart of Los Angeles, is indeed to be commended
for its action in taking into its hands a great club to drive the scourge
from our midst. Doubtless the next few months at IT. S. C. will be
fraught with anti nicotine discussions, the air will be filled with the
smoke of battle against the smoker; cigarettes will be abhorred;
pipes will he lit hut surreptitiously; cigars will remain in vest pock
ets; and the good old chewin’ will have to go—for it is conspicuous.
After years of it Southern California will be expected to turn out
great scholars, unbeatable athletic teams, while others labor along
under the curse of the wicked weed.
Hut tin* Trojans’ move may moan great tilings. The Emerald
supposes that the rest of us “us" being the other benighted insti
tutions on tin* eoast will be solieited to join the league. A “No
Tobaceo" booth may even be installed in front of the library where
money which might otherwise be spent for “humps’’ will be con
tributed to aid in the great and glorious fight. And when the No
Tobacco league is well on its feet we will organize a No ltobbed Hair
league a No Rolled Socks association, and some day we may arrange
a lecture date for Anthony Comstock’s successor (whoever he may
be) and we’ll pack Villard as we would have done in the benighted
days for Vacliel Lindsay, who smokes a pipe, all to hear Brother
doom s famed oration on “Our Decadent Literature’’ or “The Taint
in 1‘ollyanna.’’
Speaking of orations Southern California offers a scholarship
for the best invective against the weed. An excellent way to attract
students (we cry aloud with enthusiasm), one that was overlooked
even in the recent Junior week-end discussion. We might even
propose ie question for all coast debate.
Anyway, “Vive the No Tobacco League!”

Incoming Classes Have Grown
too Large for House
The annual frosh smoker which is
usually held by the Kappa Sigma house
is to be discontinued this year for
various reasons, chief among which is
the fact that the incoming classes have
grown to such an extent that there
would not be room for all. The house
decided that to invite only certain
groups would be rank discrimination, so
the only way out seemed to be the drop
ping of the custom.
The smoker heretofore has been one
of the big events in the life of the
freshmen, and was continued as long
as possible, but last year the crowd
was much too large to be accomodated
with the best results, and it was seen
that something different would have
to be tried if the incoming classes kept
on growing in numbers. This year the
number of first year men registered
was so great that the only way out
was to drop the smoker. The faculty
also have been reluctant in giving their
consent the last two or three years for
the reason that they did not believe in
too many functions of this sort during
the year.
The all University smoker which is
held the same night that the women
have their April frolic will now be the
biggest event of that nature during the
year.
