More Formidable
Foes Than Doubt
O sequence is more ordered than
A- si (lie fervent concern of each
parent generation for the welfare
of its successor. And so it is that
in an age when youth goes to col
lege, education becomes the fodder
of rumination for many persons
conscious of social responsibility.
Oeorge Thomas White Patrick is
one of these. Professor Patrick has
.just rounded out his fortieth year
as an observer of undergraduates
from a philosophy dais at the Uni
versity of Iowa.
The cardinal weakness of colleges,
generally is their dissociation from
the world, is his criticism in Forum.
He points to the wavering of stan
dards brought on by the collapse
of the nineteenth century cate
chism: Liberty, Equality, Effi
ciency, Opportunity, Organization,
Science, Invention, lie concludes:
“Our colleges must not develop a
spirit of doubt and critical aloof
ness, but awaken and encourage a
sense of responsibility to society
and the state and genuine com
munity enthusiasm. "They must not
cause our youth to" lose touch with
the world but to get in touch with
Before all, Professor Patrick must
realize that normal doubt is the
larva of progress. And though it
gorges ruthlessly during this period,
it is destined to eventually meta
morphose into an ideal which will
•inspire social advance. Ferments
arising from young rebels through
out history have been the purga
tives on which has depended a tol
erable (Mvilization.
There is occasion for greater anx
iety, we believe, in that modern edu
cation tends to force the transition
from the omnivorous skepticism of
the larva to the complacent passiv
ity of a pupa.
Undiscriminating enthusiasm for
state and community is the major
dominant now in American society.
And the protesting minor is soft
pedalled. It isn’t good for business.
We recognize that the argument
for social consciousness and interest
in the affairs of the world commun
ity is eminently sound. But we em
phatically disagree with any aprita
ism that would induce harmony
without critically determining the,
values of its elements.
Liberty, Equality, Efficiency, Op- ,
portunity, Organization, Science,!
Invention—these basic values which
are responsible for the state of ci\-<
ilization today are deposed. What
is to rejdaco them demands a su
perior discernment and wisdom
which in no way can be engen
dered by an appreciation of things
as they are. Evolution has been
proved hopelessly inadequate; revo
lution must determine.
TIIE averuge euliege, student is
more or less envious of tile fel
low st intent who boasts a string of
honorary fraternal badges spread
across iiis vest and is not slon to
embrace the opportunity to increase
it.”
Dead limber:
'A Dead Weight
his own collection. The desire to
conduct oneself as to gain recogni
tion is u commendable trait, pro
vided that the recognition is of a
character which warrants the effort
put forth.
Most campuses have a numerous
collection of honorary fraternities.
In many cases there'is a plus qual
ity. The groups may be roughly
divided into two classes: those I
which bring together a number of
selected students for the better
studying of their chosen profession;
and what might be called the hon
orary honoraries.
Formed with a serious purpose in
view, the professional honoraries, as
a class, justify their existence.
Many of groups iu the second
class are just another mentis of
taking more time and money from
the students who are invited to be
come members. Flections are not
on the tm.sis of any real merit dem
onstrated in the conduct of affairs.
It often happens that a student is
chosen for membership without
having had an opportunity to show
whether he was in possession of any
special abilities or entirely devoid
of them. This is especially true of
iionorflries whose ranks are filled
by representatives of the various
living organizations of the campus.
Uy the same token, however, these
honorary fraternities which have
no real purpose or well-defined
niche in the scheme of things are a
means of wasting the time of stu
dents whose abilities might be of
real value elsewhere.f
The University of Washington
chapter of Sigma Delta Dili, men’s
professional journalism f rtiternitjc,
according to the Daily, has subject
ed itself to a self-imposed house
cleaning. For three weeks, its1
members scrutinized their chapter i
in an effort to determine its worth !
to them; their worth to the chap- i
ter; and the worth of the chapter’s |
work to the campus. The exam inn- !
tion completed, they were able to’
go ahead..with the fraternity’s pro-|
gram with the feeling that their i
time was not being wasted.
In commenting upon the fritter-]
nity’s action, an editorial in the
Daily says:
“ Many groups whose object and
purpose in the end is comparatively
trivial and inconsequential, would,
if they once forced themselves to
such treatment, soon cease to oc
cupy student time and attention
and would vanish into an appro
priate limbo.
"Other organizations of unques
tioned value, if they examined their
purpose and object in similar man
ner would clarify in thu minds (if
their members the purposes for
which they exist and determine ex
actly what contributions they have
made and can make to the Univer
sity.'’
Membership in campus honoraries
are often overlapping in that many
individuals are members of several
organizations. An earnest internal
investigation of itself by each hon
01 orv group on the Oregon campus
would do much toward clearing stu j
dent activities of a quantity of dead j
timber whose presence is a dead
weight about the neck of .real I
achievement. —W. C.

Martha Spafford Says Old Italian
Towns Interesting Feature of Trip
University Library Worker Travels Two Months
In Italy During Five Month Sojourn
■
“What did I enjoy most in my
trip to Europe?” repeated Miss
Martha Spafford, University Librar
ian, who has recently returned from
abroad.
“I think it was the old fortified
wall towns in Italy. I visited seven
of them while I was there. They arc
charming old plates, all gray and
overgrown with weeds and vines.
‘San Gimigniano’ is one of tho old
est of them. It was built in the
twelfth ecntwy and has thirteen
towers, about twenty feet square
and built of stone. The various
towers were built by quarreling
nobles who used to shoot arrows
down on their enemies whenever
they passed by. Each man tried to ,
build a tower just a little higher
than the other. The tallest one that
jl saw there was 176 feet.
“From my terrace room at the
hotel I could see six of the towers.
The hotel there was gray and wea
ther beaten on the outside, bnt in
side there were electric lights, fans
and running water I spent two
months out of my five in Italy.”
Veniee.was the next place visited
by Miss Spafford. “One can’t go
through Italy without seeing Ven
ice,” she said. “I stayed in the
house where Ruslcin lived. The place
was very large and, although tho
back rooms had been modernized,
the large front ones were exactly
the same as when he lived there.”
Gondolas are not so plentiful as
formerly, says Miss Spafford. There
were just half as many when she
was there this year as there were in
19112. Steam launches are taking
the place of the gondolas to a large
extent, she said, for they are used
just like we use taxicabs. This cuts
greatly into the trade of the gondo
liers and consequently they have to
charge twice as much as they for
merly did, she stated.
While in Italy Miss Spafford saw
a great many notable persons,, in
cluding Mussolini, King Emanuel,
and Princess Marie-Jose, of Bel
gium. Mussolini is well liked in
Italy by most of the people, Miss
Spafford believes.
“He has done lots of good for the
working classes,” she said. For in
stance, on week days tho working
men only have to pay half fare on
the street cars. On Sundays there
ig an extra charge though, so that
almost makes up for the loss that
would otherwise result.”
“1 was in Paris during the Sacco*
Vanzetti riots,” Miss Spafford stat
ed, “and I think that the newspa
pers over-emphasized them. The
only mobs there were mudo up of
foreign anarchists who wanted to
stage a revolution. The Paris police
did wonderful work in keeping the
frenzied anarchists under control,
and later forced them to leave the
city.”
Miss Spafford regards Lindbergh
as the greatest ambassador that was
ever sent to France. “When I first
went to Paris in May,” she said,
“the Parisians were indifferent,
even sullen, to the Americans. After
Lindbergh came they were cordial
again. Everyone was carrying a
Lindbergh doll, which was dressed
in khaki and had^very long legs and
arms. The faces and hair on these
dolls looked exactly like that of the
hero. There were a great many
Lindbergh medals on sale there
too.
“While I was in Paris I met Miss
Florence White.who taught Spanish
at this University several years
ago,” Mis3 Spafford continued. “She
had recently come from Spain where
she had attended college on a schol
arship won from Brvn Mawr. She
is now head of the Spanish depart
ment at Milwaukee-Donor College,
Wisconsin.”
”1 spent two weeks in the lake
district in England, visiting Gras
mero where Wordsworth used to live,
and also the grammar school at,
Hawkesbery, just seven miles from
Grasmere, whene he went when a
boy. His name was carved on the
desk and a p.iece of glass had been
put over it to protect it from the
contact of visitors.”
Two weeks were spent in Switzer
land by Miss Spafford. “It looked
exactly as if the whole thing had
just been gone over with a scrub
bing brush,” she said, “with the
white capped mountains above and
the green valleys below.
“Yes, they yodel there in the
farming districts just as they do on
the American stages,” she replied
with a smile, to a question asked by
the reporter. “Every morning when
one wakes up in the small villages
there he hears the tinkling of eow
bells. All the bells seems to har
monize when they ring.”
This is the fourth time that Miss
Spafford has been to Europe. “The
next time I go I hope to visit Spain
and a number of the countries that
I missed this time,” she concluded.
