Think It Over
C PEAK TNG in general terms, there are three sides to a stu
dent’s life in the University. These may he called the schol
astic, the activity, and the social, sides.
The ideal of many students entering the University is to
have an interest in each of these. Some may have a plan of
so dividing the available time among them, in a certain pro
portion.
A student who has spent four years in college and has de
voted a certain amount of interest and energy to each of these
three sides should be well-qualified for realizing the most from
his education and he should be. better able to repay the state
for enabling him to procure that education. He will do this
by being an “all around” man, intellectually competent, effec
tive iin his business, or professional work, and socially valuable.
During the freshman year, such a student may have some
part in a class activity, or a minor place on one or two commit
tees. By conscientious work, and dependability when charged
with a responsibility, his classmates, or the committee heads
will come to consider this type of person as a “good one to
“put on” a committee, or to be elected to some campus politi
cal office.
"When there is a bit of work to be accomplished, the head
of the class, or the committee head, or what not, in consulting
the Oregana pages for help in selecting material, will run across
one of these students and say, “Oh, yes. There’s Dohn Joe.
He’s a good worker and is dependable. I’ll put him in charge
of that work.”
Some time later, some other head of activity will need some
help, and he will consult the Oregana pages for inspiration to
fill his committee, and will run across the picture of Dohn Joe,
and say, “Oh, yes. There’s Dohn Joe. He’s a good worker
and is dependable. I’ll put him in charge of that work.”
And some time later, still another head of activity will need
a competent bit of help, and a similar scene with the Oregana
will be enacted, and Dolin Joe will have another job. lie may
hesitate a bit about accepting it, but then, “It’s not much of
a job, you know.”
“Well, yes, I’ll do it. Sure, that’s all rght.”
One day, when near the end of his four years, he will think
of bis plan of freshman days and he will take stock of himself,
and he will be rather startled. He will find that the propor
tions he had worked out for studying, for activities, and for
social interest, have become sadly wrenched and “lop-sided.”
He will find that accumulation of many small activities,
plus one or two major positions, has consumed a great deal
more time and energy and interest than he had ever planned
he would devote to that side of college life.
One of the things that may jar him into remembering his
ideal plan of freshman days is the scandal sheet. His grades
may be perilously low, and he may be “eligible” for member
ship on the probation list.
He will realize then that he has lost something that he can
not regain. lit* has lost a great deal of time that could have
been spent to far better advantage in intellectual work.
He would be far richer if lie had limited his activity “side
to one particular line of work and refused absolutely t,o assume
the multitude of small, but time and energy killing, “activ
ities.” Little time is left for him to remedy the error. The
number of days are few that he may continue in the University
environment,
Dolin Joe makes a wild scramble to resign from “this and
that,” and he spends the remaining college days in study and
thought, lie is a wiser man. And he believes others should
profit by his mistake.
He meets Jonathan Smith on the campus. Smith is a sopho
more and is rated “a good worker and dependable. lie is
one of the type to “put in charge of that work.”
Dolin Joe “congratulates” Johnathan Smith on his latest
appointment. Smith is happy over the recent “honor and is
grateful for the good wishes. As he turns to go Dolin Joe calls
him back and tells Smith the sad lesson he has learned. He
advises Smith to think it over.
Johnathan nods his head, and agrees, “That s right. It s
worth thinking about."
But later in the evening Johnathan Smith answers the
Telephone.
—“Well, 1 don’t know whether 1 bad better accept or not. —
No, of course it isn’t much extra to do. — Well, yes. 1 11 do
it. _ No, No.-. That’s all right.-Sure, I’ll do it.”

COMPARISON OF CULTURES
t
Harried and harrassed, the ex
ponents of true and undiluted cul
ture in our colleges have turned
at last to government for aid. The
solemn and sovereign legislature of
Massachusetts has been importuned
to investigate the administration of
Harvard university “to decide
whether true culture is being
crushed out by big business.”
We extended across the miles the
hand of sympathy to Representa
tive Blanchard whose vast concern
for the future of culture Sent him
crying to the broad shoulder of the
legislature. Tf the legislature of
Massachusetts is like the legisla
ture of most other states, we pre
dict that the birthplace of shelf
education will come through the or
deal with flying colors, that its
“culture” will have soon the pom- j
positv of legal sanction.
Tt so happens that the brand of
culture dispensed at Harvard iust

Wrigley and the Engine
Many retailers have stocked merchandise that
was supposed to sell because of a flurry of adver
tising to appear in local papers. The following
story recently told of William Wrigley illustrates
the continual effort necessary to keep goods before
the public.
While riding on a train Mr. Wrigley was told
by a friend that his product was so widely known
lie was wasting money by continually advertising.
“If the engine were to be cut off from this
train what would happent” asked Mr. Wrigley.
“The train would coast for a while and then
come to a stop.”
“Exactly,” said Mr. Wrigley. “And if I should
cut off advertising my business would coast for a
while and then stop.”
