Expulsion—the
Mark of Genius?
AMERICA’S distinguished kick
ed-out-of-college list; where is
itt
A contributor to the New Student
makes an interesting start, but his
results seem to indicate that the
geniuses are no logger expelled.
They either muddle through the pre
scribed undergraduate years, or,
finding college something of a bore,
withdraw.
Except for an occasional nou
conforming student, usually an edi
tor whose policies clash with the
administration’s endowment drives,
the offender against the moral reg
ulations is the most prominent sub
ject of oustings. If the investiga
tion were carried into the realm of
faculty members the results would
probably be more interesting.
Even so, the past is not without
its glorious examples, if we do not
try to match Oxford’s record, for
instance. That cultural center num
bers on its list of “ousted” such
revered names as Shelley, Locke,
Penn, Gibbon and Landor.
Perhaps the great-in-the-makiu'g
are no longer in the colleges. Pro
fessor Walter L. Whittlesey, once
on the Oregon faculty and now at
Princeton, remarks that “young
Jeffersons or Franklins would bo
fired in short order today. They
would not be' likely to submit to
restraints put upon modern students.
I doubt very much if either would
have lasted through liis**freshman
year.”
But the young Jeffersons and
Franklins probably went to colleges
that offered no diversions other
than study. Now one takes his
choice and if the curriculum is not
satisfying the extra-curriculum is.
The present noso-tluimbing is of a
different order than that which
makes a kicked-out list distin
guished.
Witness, in the past, the near
expulsion of John Fiske from Har
vard for reading Comte in church.
But he survived with only a “pub
lic admonition” on the charge of
“disseminating infidelity among
the students and with gross miscon
duct in church.”
The few others on the American
distinguished list did not strike the
president or pull a trustee’s whis
kers. They just couldn’t keep off
probation. Classes and courses they
found cramping to the intellect, so
they withdrew either voluntarily
or by request.
Poo was expelled from West
Point because of .poor scholarship.
The same fate made James McNeill
Whistler a painter instead of an
army officer. Whistler managed to
get by for three years until in a
chemistry examination he described
silicon as a gas. “Had silicon been
a gas,” said Whistler, “I would
have been a major general.” Just
as well silicon isn’t a gas.
Stephen Crane showed a bit more
fire, lie found the Syracuse police
courts more interesting than tlio
university which he described as
“a damned nuisance." He spent
one interesting year at college,
shocked one professor bv telling
him that he disagreed with St.
Paul’s theory of sin, and seriously
disturbed the wife of another by
refusing to meet Mrs. Willard be
cause he thought the uplifter a fool.
So one year satisfied Stephen Crane.
Theodore Dreiser ’a one year at
the University of Indiana was
eventless and colorless. Known
neither for unusual scholarship nor
for ability of any other sort, the
great writer passed as an intellectu
al misfit. College for him was as in
teresting and stimulating as last
year’s almanac.
Eugene O’Neill, expelled from
Princeton during his freshman year
“for a trifling offense,” declined to
return, having found the world
mudh more interesting than the
campus. Sinclair Lowis escaped
from the Yale campus once in a
while but finally came back for a
degree. Conrad Aiken became so
interested in learning that he for
got to attend class and shocked his
Harvard professors with an astound
ing number of cuts. But he eventu
ally completed his course.
And now wo learn that Edna St.
Vincent Millay would have been
expolled from Vassar had her class
mates not refused to graduate with
out her.
And that’s all the writer in the
New Student has discovered. Not
an impressive record, on the whole,
and one that gives the uncomfort
able feoling that perhaps many great
Americans weren’t even threatened
with expulsion from college.
Unless somoono can dig up a few
more illustrious names wo will be
forced to the horrible conclusion that
the colleges aro improving, or the
more hopeful answer that the real
genius is smart enough to keep
away from the colleges.
Bowing to
The Inevitable
HAZING is going the way of tho
walrus mustache, the hull-dog
shoes and the turtle-neck sweater,
reports from several colleges in
dicate.
At Ohio State University the an
cient custom of throwing “erring”
freshmen into the lake has come to
an end with the pronouncement of
President George \V. Rightmere that
“any man who is in any way con
nected with throwing a freshman
in the lake will sever his connec
tion with this university.” All this
with the added remark that per
sonal liberty means even freedom
from sophomore or upperclass or
ders.
Students at Capital university,
Columbus, Ohio, have also outlawed
the ancient sport of baiting tho
freshmen. The University of Cin
cinnati student council has dis
solv'd the vigilance committee and
joined the ranks of the enlightened.
San Diego State Teachers college
has likewise deserted tho revered
tradition, having decided that horse
play should end in the sixth grade.
The University of Washington fac
ulty recently spoiled a perfectly
good vigilance plan by banning haz
ing. And now rumors come that
similar action is pending in several
other institutions.
And while remarking that the old
order cliangeth we must not forget
the action of our own freshman
class which recently decided to de
sert the pleasure of revenge.
The inevitable is happening;
college students are showing signs
of growing up, and the colleges
show no signs of disintegration.
How surprisingly good.

Fred West proposed an amend
ment to the by-laws of the consti
tution of the A. S. U. O. The res
olution was voted upon by the stu
dents and was passed. The amended
law reads as follows: “The official
emblem for major sports will be

points during one season in Pacific
coast conference contests or one

or one point, or fraction of a point,

with the exception of the relay,
which must be ivon during the Paci

law formerly provided for the grant
ing of such an emblem to a man
winning nine points.
“The amendment was worked out
by the Order of the ‘O’, and under
its provision it is believed (that
more men will be encouraged to
participate in athletics. It will also
put the University of Oregon on
the same competitive basis as other
schools,” Mr. West said.
A new college song arranged by
Bob Hunt, chairman of the music
committee, entitled “I Want to Go
Back to Oregon,” was introduced.
Words of the song were distributed
among the students and the song
was sung by the entire assemblage,

the direction of Mr. Hunt.
At the opening of the program,

(Continued from page one)
The kidnappers find out their mis

begins. This act is crammed with
specialty numbers—all above the or
di nary.
Included are a Spanish tango fea
turing Marvin Cone and Olga Dal
leru, who comes directly from Chile
where the tango is quite the thing;
eccentric dancing by Rodney Banks
—a red-haired boy with elastic
bones; A1 Smith, Ted Larsen, and
Frank Roehr, harmonizers; Bobby
Warner and Marian Look in a danc

Len Thomson in a whirlwind of

and the firm of Babe Kel'tner, Edith

in a double tango.

The curtain falls and arises on
the Mississippi levee. Ed Cheney
soft-shoes and Clarence Lidburg ac

Madge Normile, “the hottest gal in
town,” sings blues; Jack Coolidge
plunks on the banjos and sings of
Gillette razor blades and cows;
Ruth Griffith obliges with some
thing or other; and the ponies
black-bottom. Clinton Noland, in
seeking Billy -1/ee, tumbles off the
wharf. Billy Lee appears and is
found by the fool. They become
happy lovers and sing while the
Creole moon, now glowing red,
beams sympathetically.
The last act shows the garden once
more. Colonel Travers storms for
awhile, but subsides, and everyone
lives happy ever after. There isn’t
even a villain tc repent.
There’s the continuity in tabloid.
Interspersed throughout are the
pony, beauty', and male choruses.
The whole thing is a knockout.

Orange-Crush is so vastly
superior to cheapened im
itations that it’s well worth
fighting for. Here’s why:
To sparkling carbonated
water is added the juice
of luscious oranges, the
delicate flavor of their
peel, the zestful tang of
the fruit acid found in
oranges,lemonsand limes,
a pure food color such as
is used in your cakes and
randies, pure rane sugar.
When you want a real drink
take ORANGE-CRUSH
You will never know how good an orange
drink can be until you try Orange-Crush. For
Orange-Crush is made from real oranges—
contains real orange juice. That’s the
outstanding difference that puts Orange
Crush in a class by itself.
A real drink, Gentlemen, any way you take
it. But be sure to ask for it by name, and
accept it only in the Krinkly Bottle.
