American Scholarship— Signs of Awakening THE present-day very determined and widespread struggle for the rehabilitation of scholarship in Am erican universities is seen by some as one evidence of an epochal ger mination of the American soul. Understanding civilization to mean tho conquest of physical en vironment, no one will deny that America, in relation to tho rest of the world, has long been superla tively civilized. Understanding cul ture to mean the interpretation and regulation of material life to eter nal values by intellectual, aesthetic and religious experiences, Amorica as a nation has boon appallingly cnlture-less. The trunk of American true lit erature of the Nineteenth century was English. Likewise the old Am erican scholarship of the Harvard Yale tradition. Its great teachers, such as Emerson, Bryant, Santa yana, have been culturally English men. The early chapters of higher education in America but tell the story of the continuance of tho Eng lish genius, reposited in the Amer ican aristocracy, on American soil. The more peculiarly significant chapters of the history of our in tellectual life will bo concerned with the establishment and develop ment of the state institutions which are tho work of the present and im mediate past generations. The typ ical college student of today is i America in its essential present self. Ko far the popular notion of tho normal collegian as either a foot ball player or a rooter still contains enough of truth to be a valid cari cature. But there is hope indeed to be taken from the steadily in cieasing protests coming from col leges from the four corners and middle, even, of tho United States from those who believe deeply that the prime concern of higher educa tion is to educate. The great difficulty is to awaken in students themselves an honest | conviction that to be a man at all : is to think and to strive for lasting i meanings. This is the hardest birth- 1 throe in tho evolvement of any J scholarship ideal. Once it has been , achieved in the upper part of tho popular mind scholarship itself may be made to seem reputable even to the populace by tho appropriate use of “manly” phrases from liar- j old Bell Wright and the young peo- j pie’s associations. An assertive optimist is either I very simple or very, very profound. For the rest of us there is—hope. We may hope that this is a flurry of blossoms beforo the fruit which we see and not a stage snow-storm. —B. J. Incomplete Data And Useless A WELL-KNOWN local econom ist has only recently informed us that the primary and most fun damental precept in the entire field of statistical research is, first of all, the formation of a purpose. The allegation has an air of authentic ity, so much so that tvo are inclined to doubt tlio usefulness of the fol lowing bit clipped from the Colum bia Missourian and entitled, “Sta tistical IIopo”: “A little statistical hope to the co-eds: the home economics depart ment of Iowa Stato College has found that 85 per cent of all homo economics graduates are married within live years after graduating.” Now what is the use of knowing that? It doesn’t prove anything. Probably if the matter were looked into, it would be discovered that 85 per cent of the entire feminino population are married within five years after leaving school, whether they attend collego or not. And if they are, what of it? Not that statistics are not valu able. Oh, no. On tho contrary, there is no doubt that some very interest ing and important data could be gathered in this samo homo econom ics department. With very little ad ditional work, the number of baking powder biscuits theso graduates have made sinco leaving their alma mater could bo computed and their aggregate height, if piled end on end, compared with the Woolworth building or the length of the Levi athan. To say nothing of their weight 1 Or perhaps the number of gallons of split pea soup concocted by the same hands in the same in terval would bo sufficient to float a million foot of lumber, if the mat ter were only investigated. Use less? Not at all. It would show us what Americans are eating. And what is more important than the na tional alimentation? Or, to get at the matter in an other way, how many of the hus bands of this 85 por cent have stom ach trouble in any form? It seems a pity that this has not been looked into. Perhaps there is a perfect record of not one case. If so, think what wonderful publicity the dis covery would be for the college. For any Home Ee department, that would indeed be a matter for statistical hope.—II. A. Former Instructor Writes of Work With League Labor Bureau More information ubont his work with tlie International Labor bur eau of tlu> League of Nations is given by J. K. A. Johnstone, former instructor in Groek ami Latin, in a letter to l'r. George lichee, dean of the graduate sehool. His work consists of translating and editing publications, he says. At present, he is working on a series of short articles dealing with the freedom of associations in different parts of the world. Each article is by a different writer and most of them are written in French or Ger man. They deal /with historical, scientific, medical, sociological, eco nomic, political, maritime, and ge ographic aspects of industrial de mocracy. All of the articles, says Mr. Johnstone, are the work of ex perts and contain nothing super iicial or popular. The bureau is organized into sec tions. That in which Mr. Johnstone is employed is concerned chiefly with literary work and is headed by a Frenchman. Another section handles matters of a more practical nature and is made up of journalists under the direction of an English man. The chief of the bureau, a Holguin, recently complimented .Mr. Johnstone on his work. /•’. S. Dunn to Address Classical League Croup Frederic S. Funn, head of the Latin department, has been asked to give one of the addresses when the American Classical League meets in session with the National Educational Association in Seattle in July. He will speak on “Helen, Gala had. Hedulio et al,” which will be a discussion of the classical novel in connection with classical study, and the relation of the historical novel to Latin. Professor Dunn has spe cialized in the historical novel, hav ing at one time a library of forty or fifty volumes dealing with his tory up to the Norman conquest in lOtifi.

Crow ley, 476 Gore Avenue, was on her way to attend a bridge luncheon at the home of Miss Marie Heron, 970 Brander Street. When she was within four blocks of the Heron bull and was forced to take refuge home she was chased by a stray in a vacant house. The bull guarded the house carefully and Mrs. Crow ley was not rescued until six o’clock in the evening by some passing la borers who happened to hear her calls. ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS— BEFORE 12:15.

PAUL LITY fOrder of “O” Plans Smoker for April 23 Order of the “O’’ is sponsoring! a men’s smoker to be held April 2d for the benefit of all candidates turning out for spring sports at the University and for members of high school relay teams who will com pete (in Hayward field on that date. Trophies will be awarded to the prop schools winning them and blankets will be awarded to three vear lettermen , of the University during the evening. Bill Powell, tennis star, is chair man; Frank Riggs, varsity end, is in charge of the program; Harold Mangum, varsity guard, is handling publicity; Fred West, varsity pit cher, is directing the finances; and Don McCook, sprint swimmer, will secure necessary viands. Bob Keeney 1 roves “Hit” at Smoker In Battle Royal Shield Beats All Comers; Sinclair, Bert Kerns Exchange Blows Tumbling Act Proves Hit; Cup, Letters Given Out At the men’s smoker held Sat urday night in the McArthur Igloo the fans were presented with the usual orgy of fist icuffs with an in teresting program of vaudeville skits and musical acts adding to the eve ing. The classic of the evening, as far a blood and thunder was con cerned, came with the four heavies in the last free for-all battle roy Riggs ai. ah mis event marsiiau onieius took the title when Harry Wood, the last opponent, forgot to duck when a smashing right started for his head. The fight opetaed with Shields and Wood levelling on Bob Keeney, who gracefully skidded across sev eral feet of canvas on his ear. With only three left in the ring, Shields and Wood again co-operated in throwing enough rights and lefts into Dick Horn to make Goliath punch drunk. As Referee Hayward decided that Horn had taken enough punishment for one evening, the remaining gladiators started long range sharp shooting at each other’s chins. Wood Goes Down By this time both boys were be ginning to show signs of wear and it was only a matter of who landed the first solid wallop to determine the winner. Shields started an of fensive and in the melee landed a solid overhand right to Wood’s chin who went down for the count. The 150 pound battle royal start ed with six men in the ring bu1 was stopped with five men sti! on their feet. This fight was as hard fought as the others but th< lighter boys did not pack the nee essary punch to put their opponents in slumberland. uuumgs vrets uraw Maurice Collings stepped a fasi three rounds with Frank Eiggs This event was the most interesting on the card from the standpoint oi scientific fighting, both offensive ly and defensively. Eiggs gave £ good exhibition of side-slipping anc countering with a left to the bodj that will be remembered by Col lings for several days. At one time Eiggs was champion of the North west in three amateur divisions taking everything from the wel ters up. The first iboxing bout on the card was a three round affair between A1 Sinclair and Bert Kerns, match ed as heavy weights. These boys gave the fans their money’s worth in action alone. Elton Owens, thistle-down weight, from Woodrow Wilson grammar school, mixed three fast rounds to a draw with Joe Berger, pride of Saint Mary’s. Elton Owens is the son of H. L. Owens, who is promot ing fights in the Armory and who donated the Ting for the men’s smoker. Tumblers Feature The feature of the vaudeville bill was the tumbling act staged by Perry Davis, Eugene Eiehmond, and Vic Wetzel. This probably was the best-liked act on the program or ganized by Ed Crowley. Other num bers on the program were "The Face on the Bar-room Floor,’’ re cited by Bill Lake. Mason and Kel ley played a duet on the banjo and eazoot; Collins Elkins put over a ten minute gag act; ami Fred West sang and picked the banjo for the opener. Tn the horse and rider tournament Jerry Gunther, who was champion horse last year, lost his title to Wolf and McAlpin, who as a team defeated Mimnaugh and Warren in the finals. Ralph McCulloch, ex-champion rooster fighter of the campus, drop ped liis title to Dick Horn who eliminated Laselle, Coles, Phil Ire land, Bob Jones, and Bill Haggerty in his way to the crown. Awards Made Athletic awards were made to the basketball men and varsity swim mers by Hugh Biggs, A. S. U. O. president.
