Spiritual Realities
Versus Football Fame
FROM Centre college, in Danville,
Kentucky, comes a new refrain
for the old “over-emphasis of ath
letics’’ song. Instead of the usual
complaint that sports are overshad
owing things cultural, the new-old
wail charges that religion is getting
tho worst of it.
Soveral points must be made
elear at once. First, speaking in
general terms, we are pretty much
in agreement with those who
charge that tho tendency in Ameri
can colleges is toward undue stress
on athletics. We have no desire to
ridicule this view. Second, Centre
college is a sectarian school, “own
ed’’ and controlled by tho Presby
terian church. Third, despite its
academic unimportance, it has pro
duced many formidable football
teams.
Tho Presbyterian Synod, now in
session, has decided to investigate
tho “affairs” of the institution,
make effort to minimize the in
fluence of tho football enthusiasts
among tho alumni, keep control of
tho college in the hands of the
church board and not in thoso of
alumni who serve only as alumni,
and has recommended “the choice
of a man for tho presidency whoso
emphasis shall be soundly upon tho
moral and spiritual aspects of col
lege life instead of upon the athletic
and who shall be profoundly con
vinced that this is a Presbyterian
church institution and should re
main so. ’ ’
Opinion of the governing board
was, in general, that “no college
the size of Centre has any right
to maintain a football team able
to compete with Harvard.”
Bogging the pardon of the board,
we cannot refrain from mentioning
that until “Bo” McMillan came to
■Centre and led his football team
to smashing victories over tho big
eastern teams, we had never heard
■of the institution. Of course that
is neither hero nor there in this
problem, but really wo don’t remem
ber having heard any cries of over
emphasis of athletics several years
ago when the McMillans were gain
ing Centre more publicity than a
thousand paid agents might have
been able to engineer. But times do
change.
Wo do not attempt to settle tho
problem. The fame of the “ Pray
ing Colonels” was too much for tho
institution, and has proven to be
a boomeraug. The denials of tho
Cento, eollego newspaper, are rather
weak. Besides a front page editor
ial denying tho charges, page one
carries five stories on athletics,
and the remaining two columns are
devoted to tho story of the Synod’s
meeting. The loud editorial on the
inside page also deals with foot
ball. Over-eniphasisf Oh no.
And wliat is the answer to the
chargesf The usual “no founda
tion” stories, and so on.
But all this is relatively unim
portant. The unusual part of the
proceedings is the sudden and tardy
charge that religion is being neg
lected, while nothing is mentioned
about neglect of goncral educational
matters. Perhaps the “spiritual
realities,’’ one of the most am
biguous terms ever coined, is meant
to include this. In any event, there
was no mention of it. If the Centre
college officials are attempting to
force religion onto the students in
the same degree that the students
are willingly accepting football,
there is danger of more over-em
phasis, this time of the spiritual.
This may be gross heresy, es
pecially in reference to a sectarian
school. But we feel that wholesale
attempts at making religious mat
ters more acceptable than football
aro futile. Thero is more appeal in
a rough-and-tumblo fight, formerly
approved by the Synod, than in all
the moral inspiration it now of
fers.
The blame, we say, is the board’s
Evidently, it found it necessary to
wait until puny Oglethorpe had
beaten tho “Praying Colonels’’ 12
to nothing, before suggesting a
change. Buck action would have
been decidedly out of place in the
days of “Bo’’ McMillan, for the
religious gentlemen evidently are
able to keep separate their recogni
tion of “spiritual realities’’ on the
one hand and the value of publi
city on the other.
Give Us Light, ^
Educators
IN THE very interesting symposi
um on adult education, methods
for further democratizing education
were suggested. President Crane
propounded what he considers a
very radical move: •namely that all
high school graduates bo given the
chance of a university education,
regardless of their previous record.
Btich a move might be held to be
unwise at present and will be so,
until, as President Crane suggests,
wo have courses of a year or even
shorter. This ideal conceives that
instead of educating the man for
the job exclusively, we educate the
man to be a man in the fullest
sense. Such a plan would entail
such a tremendous waste of the
taxpayers’, students’ and parents’
money that we recommend, instead
of less stringent entrance require
ments, more exacting requirements
for admission. Yes, college educa
tion should be a privilege, but not
one too lightly earned, lest there
be no appreciation of the oppor
tunity.
And so democracy goes marching
on in our state universities and in
our scramble to provide an educa
tional suit for everyone we give
an occasional man a very poor fit.
Here and there may bo a man who
can work faster than others on
account of special ability or inter
est, but he must lag with the rest,
take tho same required courses, for
must we not provide equal oppor
tunity for allf Yea, though we lean
backwards. And the slow man must
hobble along ns best he can and
must keep up with the crowd.
The time has come in education as
in industry, to give a man work
he can do and enjoys doing. Wo
put it squarely up to the educators.
Show us the way.—1). T.

A Winnegat sang in a Wiffen
pooph tree
A song of the days of yore,
When side by side with his lady
fair
He strode the Squeedonk shore.
“Oh” said the Winnegat. “Just
to be,
Where the zephers tickle the
Humdrum tree.
Just for the love of a fishes
scale,
I’d like to chew the foot of a
whale.
Twould thrill my heart once
again,
To be wet by the sonp in a
fountain pen.
His call was heard by a cuckoo
bird,
Who sat in a dried up well,
“The pleasure you seek is that
of the weak,
Look for your fun in Hell.”
“Them’s cruel words, brother ”
The Winnegat said, But never
theless my condition
Benders me fit, to chew and spit
And laf at the Hell of Perdi
tion.”
Off he went with the pack on
his hip.
Swaggering to and hence.
Till he reached the spot where
a little “blot”
Was peeking thru the fence.
“ Hie thee over, git outa me way
or I’ll sock yuh on the point.”
“Dont get tuf youh great big
stiff,
Who in Hell owns this joint?”
“Damdifino” the Winnegat said.
“Lets run and get the la
dies. ”
“Ats the dope” the little blot
said.
“Cant raise the devil in Ha
des.”

Diversions
On a
Penny Whistle
“The Matriarch,” by G. B. Stem
Reviewed by M. J. Shelley
Stimulated, no doubt, by “For
sythe Saga” and “Growth of the
Soil,” American novelists have dis
covered lately the epically con
ceived novel. Most American novels
.so stimulated have been inferior to
“The Matriarch,” which has ^ rich
and somewhat unusual theme. It
traces the development of a cos
mopolitan Israelite family, the pro
gress of whose inomadic nationalism
with roots in the ghetto of Vienna
in the latter 17th century, spreads
and branches through the great
European capitols and centralizes
in London where their history is
carried to a time just^ after the
world war. Through their collective
migrations they assume the lan
guage and customs of their differ
ent settling places but persist al
ways, not antagonistically but in
trinsically, in their fertile, vital,
tribal individuality.
In the family Raponitz, a mat
riarchy prevails, represented in the
matriarch of the title, who comes of
the strain built up by Raponitz men,
generous, debonair, unreliable; and
highly feminine, highly forceful,
Raponitz women. The persistence
of the typical Raponitz face—blue
eyes, straight, delicate nose, cres
cent mouth—and the elegance,
straight dealing and “mannificence’1
of these traders in pigeon blood
rubies and Burmese sapphires, marl
them as the cultivated Hebrew of
continental type.
The literally dozens of characters
each deftly individualized and each
contributing to the wearing pat
tern of “the family;” the gorgeous
exotic confusion of setting with its
rich Hebraic flavor and display of
taste in fine things; the careful au
thenticity of hereditary and racial
influences; the drama, humor, and
subtlety of the action form a back
ground for the dominant figures oi
the matriarch and Toni, her grand
daughter and 20th century counter
jiart.
The book is lucid and sustained in
spite of its complexity of detail
Its consti'uction evinces acute dra
matic selections; and it is delivered
in vivid, cogent prose. Without be
ing either profound or searching, ii
is swift, colorful and absorbing.
