New Defenders Of the Faith BILLY SUNDAY has taken, a few moments from his devil-chasing activities to announce thht he is throwing his support (moral, we sup pose) to Governor Boland Hartley, who recently got himself into a small war by ousting President Suz zallo of the University of Washing ton. Not only is Mr. Hartley a fine gentleman, according to the Bever end Mr. Sunday, but the state schools, as “spawning places of ev olution bunk,” should be destroyed. Therefore tho governor’s act, which nearly spelled disaster for our sister university, was quite commendable. Mr. Sunday explains his stand briefly. The schools are destroying young people’s faith in God; faith in God is better than education; therefore the schools should bo de stroyed. Governor Hartley is no doubt highly pleased with this explanation, which paints him as defender of tho faith. He may be recalled now, but he is certain to be rewarded before the end of time. We suggest that both the governor and the acrobatic Beverend be en shrined among the great benefactors of mankind. Politicians versus Statesmen PROFESSOR on the campus -am-Who is wont to define a states man as “a dead politician” may now rejoice that someone has at, last learned the difference between po litical power and genuine greatness. We quote the following from tho Goodland, Kan., News Republic: The University Daily Kansan romarhs that Undo Joo Cannon was a picturesque figure but not a great otie. Apropos of this Jack Harrison of the Ileloit Gazette has the following to say: “Joseph (1. Cannon served long er in the lower house of congress than any other man in the entire history of our government, lie was nominated by the Republicans of his district for congress twenty five times and was elected twenty three times, so that his public services covered a period of half a century. During his service in congress, he was elected speaker a number of terms and for years as chairman of the great commit tee on appropriations he controlled the purse strings of our govern ment. If such a record does not entitle Cannon to rank among the great figures of our time, the Kan san should indicate to the thou sands of young men that attend the Kansas University just what is necessary for such a classifica tion.” Not presuming to make answer for the Kansan, we’d like, never As Olliers See it RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS (Reed College Quest) At tlie recent awarding in De cember of Rhodes Scholarships, hon ors were again carried off in this state from the University of Ore gon. The winner, from all accounts, is a most able man ami is in every way deserving of the recognition accorded hint. If wc failed to re< joiee at the rewarding of merit we should he showing a very nig gardly spirit, indeed, and we offer Mr. Korn our heartiest congratu lations at the good fortune which theless, to suggest to Mr. Har rison that the young man or wom an who wrote that Kansan edi torial probably had learned some where or other to distinguish be tween political power and genuine greatness. The Paper Sheepskin FOUR years of toil, term papers and tests. Four years of study and scandal sheets. Four long years -—-and at the end a ten dollar fee for a diploma. “And the saddest part of it is that we can’t raise fifty cents on them,” sighed the weary senior. “The old sheepskin has turned to paper, and a stringy piece at that.” On behalf of those seniors whose chief memento of college is a dip loma, we hope the 'grantors of such things have made a new year’s re solve to give us better and more beautiful diplopias, hand painted and embroidered if necessary. W. L. Education by Mass Attack (■Minnesota Daily) • CHEEKED or chastened by the recent ordeal of winter finals, 12,000 young men and women arc back on the campus, in pursuit of knowledge, or for further hazardous exemplifications of skill in "get ting by” with an irreducible mini mum of mental wear and ^ear. At the beginning of another se mester, before the shadows of com ing midquarters and finals fall onn inously over alluring programs of extra-curricular winter activities, this great organ of Collegiate Uplift may, perhaps, bo. permitted a few words of suggestion and counsel. Supposing, as a collective body wo decide to sacrifice a minimum of .16,000 hours daily to placate a hard-worked faculty, what does it amount to? rt. means that the 12,000 students in residence must rigorously budget the 24 hours that nature apportions each of us daily. We must highly resolve to apportion at least three hours daily to study, and the bud geting must be firm and inexora ble, however extravagant, and pain ful it; may appear. Much else can be done in those three hours, it is j conceded, but sacrifice is the eom j moil lot of humanity and we must ! not shirk our share. Thirty-six thousand hours daily I will irretrievably ruin an incredible j mass of ignorance, even when ' spread as thinly as three hours per I individual. Faculty experts will j regard the allowance as grudging J enough, but think of it! A band of j devoted students giving up four and one-tenth years a day to the pur suit of facts and culture! Many facts and much culture I will be ambushed and forced to i surrender unconditionally to the great discomfiture of those unre j leafing foes of all undergraduates, , known as Grades D, E, and E. Let's give it a whirl. Results are j guaranteed. | has conn* to him. He undoubtedly ; will do credit to himself and to the state from which he comes. Hut another calendar year has come, which reminds us that another Rhodes scholar is to he selected in December,, 11>It7. It may be that it will fall to the lot of Reed to car ry off the honors this year. It is about time that Reed did look to her laurels in the matter mf Rhodes scholarships. Since the school's inception our record is fair, due to our having won four schol arships in the ten-year period from 1912 to 1922, but of late years we have not succeeded in winning one. We have put forward some very able candidates since 19--, but the opposition has always been very strong and the scholarship has gone elsewhere. Reed's smallness is to some ex tent an obstacle in the way of win ning Rhodes scholarships. By this we do not have in mind alone the greater enrollment in other insti tutions with the consequently great er number of students eligible to compete against us. Since Reed claims to possess a more or less selected group, the difference in mere numbers elsewhere should not count heavily against us. If it so happens, of course, that we have not been quite so well “selected” as we sometimes imagine, then the fact thati we are greatly outnum bered in the state at large would be a factor against us. But we have in mind rather our comparative iso lation. We develop good students here as far as erudition alone is concerned but we are often so dan gerously self-centered in our little group that we lack the air of soph istication and world-wisdom which only contact with a larger world than we know at Reed can give. There is no cause to despair of the matter, however. Reed students have won Rhodes scholarships in the past and will do so in the fu ture. Even now in the under classes there may be an individual who will be the means of once more bringing such an honor to this in stitution. Architecture (Continued from page one) the instructors are trying to devel op individual talent in the stud ents,” Mr. Schroff explained, ‘‘and some of the advanced stu dents have made progress in paint ing the figure in oils that is very gratifying.” Mr. Schroff hopes to add a class in fresco in the near future. Several students are doing outside work in monoty as in col or, assisted by Mr. Virgil O. Hafen, instructor in life drawing and painting, who has studied thTee years in France, Belgium and Swit zerland, previous to coming here.

Chemistry Quarters Undergo Change; Get Old Basement Room — •Good things always come to those who wait,’ according to an ! old adage. Members of the chemistry depart ment are sure of it, for now, after twelve years of patient waiting, they have obtained the use of the northwestern corner of the base ment of McClure hall as a labora tory for physical chemistry. Members of the department had fond hopes when, back in 1914 the room was vacated by the depart ment of mining engineering. “We wanted a solid concrete founda tion upon which we could set up delicate apparatus which were af fected by tlip very slightest of vi brations,” said Dr. F. L. Shinn, professor of chemistry, who is now in charge of all physical chemis try. The rooms were taken by the University Press, under the direc tion of Porfessor K. C. Hall who | held them until the completion of the new University Press building last fall. Professor Stafford's, head of the department of chemistry, office is also undergoing some changes. It | >s being doubled in size and will : have one room for student eoufer I ences and outer offices. , TftSEVEN b SEERS “IT’S ALL OFF,” SAID THE DANCER AS.

From the top of Lookout Mountain, near Chattanooga, you may gaze over one of the finest panoramas in the country, and at the same time experi ence that peculiar thrill which only historic scenes can inspire. The answer, you think, is obvious. You will leave mountain climbing to those who prefer a withered sprig of edelweiss to the most beautiful rose from an old-fashioned garden; who would rather grasp an alpenstock than the hand of a friend.
