Don’t Forget the Sauce
jpEW STUDENTS (or educators) know what elements and
seasonings should be thrown into the educational pot from
which, after four years’ simmering, may be ladled the “well
done” graduate. The question is still an open one. Some, who
attempt to answer the question, advocate simply boiling in the
plain water of assidious preparation for class assgnments.
Others advance the theory that the added salt of a leisurely
browsing in the Library stacks will lend better flavor. Still
others dance wildly about the bubbling stew exhorting the pro
fessional chefs to sprinkle liberally with “activity pepper.”
Finally, with great shout arise the followers of the Golden
Mean, calling for abstention from none, use in moderation of
all these preparations.
Taking an entirely different slant, is one who has been
drawn from the pot and served up to the “outside world.”
He writes that in the light of this later experience he would
take all the various and sundry recipes mentioned above and
throw them into the flames beneath the educational kettle. Fur
ther, lie would stir up the fire and encourage the laboring stew
to dance and whirl merrily in the happy ectasy of “having a
good time.”
He says:
“The trouble was, I believe, inherent in my ideas concerning
education. Doctors of law may put a high value on the classics,
the humanities, or a business curriculum, but how many of these
eminents ever paddled up the race after dark or danced until
the last note on the saxophone slid, weary and forlorn, into
space? How many have been to Nimrod on a house party (none
at all if the need for chaperones didn’t exist)? How many see
the graveyard in any light save that of mortality? And do any
of them remember the weary nights of their youth when they
trudged toward some Springfield to find a note hidden in a
tomato can at the base of the third support of the railroad
trestle ?
“No, 1 guess my ideas concerning education were at fault.
And 1 seriously mean it when l say I’d like more than any other
thing in this world to be able to turn back just five years and
try it all over again. I’d do it differently.
“You bet 1 would. 1 wouldn’t have waited until my junior
year before buying a canoe. There is a great deal of apple sauce
in this world, but the fellow who says college students are hav
ing too good a time at college, should be awarded the gilded
shaving mug. They don’t have half enough of fun and after
they switch over their tassel and start out to find that “golden
opportunity, which is supposed to await youth, they will soon
find it out. 1 sometimes think, now that l have a little leisure
to look back on college, that the fellow who actually prefers to
stay in the house and study ‘econ’ on a dark and pleasant May
night never has and never will grasp the real meaning of a uni
versity education. Books have so little to do with knowledge.
“I know of some college men who believe that the after-col
lege days will bring the same companionships, the same old
millraee, the same Skinner’s Butte, the same cinder-path around
Ilavward, the same old Coburg bridge party. They believe the
outside world will still give them the free and easy chance for
a good time.
“Try and find it!”
Perhaps the graduate who voices the above challenge is
right. Although he asks that his name remain unquoted, it
may be said he is attaining marked success in his field. In the
University “kettle” he was prominent and well-known. His
recipe is not necessarily a battle cry aimed at classes and books
and good, hard work. It is condemnation, however, of blind
devotion to classes ami books and work to the exclusion of
leisure and happy times. Briefly, may we say, it will profit the'
“stew” to be seasoned with “considerable sauce.”

The following, clipped from “Editor and Publisher,” is a
rather good definition of, as it is headed—“Newspapers You
Like:”
“An imperfect world offers ample opportunity for com
plaint, It appears to be a human trait to find greater interest
in imperfection than in perfection. The latter cloys. Flaws
beg assistance. Uncommon philosophical balance is required of
the professional observer and reporter, lest the seamy side be
exaggerated, or at least that brighter phase be neglected. It!
is equally important that there be no artificial mask for the
face of the news. Find the true interest in all human activities
and play them across your board. The newspaper you like is
comparable to the man you like—well-informed, penetrating,
well-mannered, good-natured, true to ideals, a fighter when
pushed too far, but happy most of the time, and headed some
where in particular.”

I Editorially Clipped I
-'—--^
Cornell has for some time been
free of the usual collegiate initia
tion devices used by various frater
nities in their endeavors to instill
fear in quaking novitiates with
hopes of making them worthier re
cipients of fraternal badges. One
does occasionally see freshmen
wandering through classrooms wear
ing grotesque neckties, or precari
ously balanced on bridge railings
carefully pursuing gaudy periodi
cals. But these activities are quite
harmless, do little more than in
jure the freshman’s pride momen
tarily.
Recently, however, the Ithaca
police force was called to aid in pre
venting what appeared to be a con
templated suicide. The man not
only stood on the banks of the Tn
let, evidently intending to plunge
in, but a rope was tied around his
neck bearing a rock at the othei
end of sufficient weight to insure
complete immersion. Such sights
are not usual, at least near the In
let, and those who appealed foi
aid from the police department car
hardly be blamed for their probable
excitement. The student who stoor
so placidly on the Inlet bank nt
doubt had been ordered not to jumj
in without first removing the rope
and rock.
This little ,ioke may have beer
humorous to its perpetrators, but i1
is a poor precedent to set. And i1
is particularly bad for any frater
nity at Cornell to subject its
novitiates to this sort of initiation
procedure since the University au
thorities have prohibited it. Fra
ternity initiations should be con
ducted entirely in the houses ac
cording to faculty regulation. Such
occurrences as the one Friday night
are apt to bring discredit upon all
fraternities, even though they may
result in no absolute harm to any
one. It is indeed a regrettable
condition when police regulation oi
fraternity initiations becomes nee
essary. Any similar occurrences ir
the future should be dealt with se
verely, not only for safety of those
involved, but also for the sake oi
the reputations of the University
and fraternities.

BACON BUN
COLLEGE SIDE INN
Bacon Bun
An attack by H. L. Mencken, edi
i tor of the American Mercury, on.
American colleges offering courses1
| in journalism and the quality and
value of such courses which ap
peared in a recent issue of the
Washington Newspaper, is answered ,
by Professor Norman J. Eadder, of,
the department of journalism, in
the current issue of the same pub
lication.
Mencken declared that schools
and departments of journalism sel
dom are manned by men of any
genuine professional training, or
of any firm notion of what jour
nalism is about; that they are far
too easy in their requirements for
admission; that one-half of them
are simply refuges for students too
stupid to tackle the other profes
sions, and that they offer snap
courses, and promise quick jobs
with the result that the graduates
coming out of them are mainly sec
ond-raters, graduates from the gene
ral arts courses making far better
material for journalism.
In answer to the charges, Profes
sor Eadder points out that all are
false, typical of the Mencken style
of attack—a broad, sweeping de
nunciation of everything. Profes
sor Eadder refers to a Teport of a
committee of the American Society
of Newspaper Editors, which ranks
schools and departments of jour
nalism. The committee found that
out of a total of 14 schools of jour
nalism in the United States, eight
received an A rating and five B
rating, and of 43 departments of
journalism, 19 were rated A, and 12
B.
