On “Getting By”
It’s not a question of whether we win or lose but how we
play the game. That’s what counts.
Someway or other we managed to pilfer an unwary hour
from our daily schedule to see the picture, “If Winter Comes.’’
The hero in this picture played the game and played it squarely,
even though everything seemed to be against him.
There are more ways than one of getting through this Uni
versity. Despite the tightened standards it is still possible for
one to obtain a degree without the amount of effort that should
be made.
Obtaining favoritism from week-kneed professors, clever
ness rather than facts in examination papers and “cribbing’
v are the methods used by some students in every institution.
When they “get-by” with it they think they have won; bu1
the joke—and it is a pathetic, hollow joke—is that they haven’t
They have made someone pay for an education which thej
didn’t get. They got their diploma. A diploma, earned fairly
means much to the holder. A diploma taken after four years
of scheming and slipping through should be valued at minus
nothing.
In future years the present student generation will b(
the leaders of our state and national life. Habits formed her<
will stay with those who have them. Those who have slippec
through here will have to find an “easy way” then.
The sun-set hour of graduation day is one time to tak<
stock and figure whether one has really won and the sun-se
hour ef the day of the final spurt in life’s great struggle if
another. At both times it will be satisfying to look back and
forgetting any small successes or failures, to feel that playing
the game as it should be played was the real victory after all
Hours and Diplomas
We are here to get an education, and it seems to be all doin
up for us in neat parcel-packages. One ^hundred and eighty
six hours traded for a diploma, and everyone satisfied.
We believe in progress, and some of us in what we call tin
scientific theory of evolution. We are optimistic because w(
believe in the accomplishment of all things, at least all things
“humanly possible” through industry.
To know what we know, not to bother about what we don’i
know, to commit ourselves definitely to all things of our in
terest; to be always on one side of the fence or the other, is
not that enough? To have great faith in one’s friends and tc
detest one’s enemies, knowing where one stands, and remaining
unbafl’led by life is pleasant. So we have our motion picture
heroes who are “sons of the divine” and our villians who ar<
“sons of the evil one.” Perhaps it is best so!
But to sit on the fence of non-committance, to be not toe
sure of anything and everything, to laugh in the face of lift
with its crushing capital “L,” and to die with a smile on oui
lips—is this youth or is it age?

And that takes up right up to
[the Edison Marshall contest. Isn’t
it funny that the assumption al
ways is that the winning story is
the best! Almost reminds us of a
beauty contest.

Booth Tarkington’s latest novel
is due “out” this month. Conrad
took three years for “The Rover,”
while Tarkington’s book, “The Mid
lander,” seems to be almost follow
ing “Alice Adams.” The distance,
however, is entirely respectable.
The title sounds like another of
these “gontlemen from Indiana,”
but after “Alice Adams” it would
be crude even to suspect it.

William 8. “Big Bill” Hart has
presented the University with a
copy of his novel “A Lighter of
Elames.” It’s all about Patrick
Henry. “This satisfies a desire
which I have long had,” says Bill,
in the preface. And at that, he
ought not to bo very well satis
fied. A few lines from the climax
will show the subliminal heights
which Mr. Hart reaches in his
novel: “Dear heart,” said the young
man, gently, “The bitter waters of
unrequited love are near to swamp
ing us both.” (This sure sounds like
a mill race scene.) It is rather
heartless to realize that one para
graph of Patrick Henry is worth
more than poor Bill’s novel cele
brating his existence. The book is
illustrated by those fripperish,
sentimental types that James Mont
gomery Flagg loves to draw.

“The Rise of the Universities,”
by Charles H. Haskin, is among
the books recently acquired by the
library. “A university,” says the
professor, “would be a very com
fortable place if it were not for
the students.” (To the student this
sort of aphorism is like a minis

Zane Grey’s hew novel, “The
Call of the Canyon,” will be lead
ing the best sellers next month. A
barber once told us that Mr. Grey
was the greatest of living authors.
We did not deny that he was living.
Edwin Arlington Robinson’s new
narrative poem, “The Man Who
Died Twice,” is also due. All the
critics will be sincerely enthusias
tic, even though the poem only
varies Robinson’s thematical obses
sion.
Floyd Dell, with his publisher,
has called in his latest novel,
“Janet Marsh” from the book
sellers. There will be no further
sales of the book. The campus re
members the novel being hailed as
“having arrived”. (Its quiet re
ception was not so notable.) Dell’s
action comes as a result of a tem
porary injunction against the sale
of the book in Chicago. This Hecht
affair has been of very doubtful
value to contemporary movements
in literature. Dell believes the
book to be of less value than
“Moon-Calf” and “Briary Bush.”
There is no reason why the thing
should be removed from the rent
collection. And it probably will
not be.
