Mitchelmore Assistant Night Editors— Harold Bailey Vinton Hall TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1927. 6Reelings’ Of the Campus f I A0 “sec yourself as others see you” is ;ui opportunity which rarely comes to one. The college student, who can truly see himself in what the motion picture pro ducers offer the movie-going pub lic ns pictures of college life is abundantly endowed with the gift Of imagination. , It js probable that many col lege students ill the United States would like to see campus life mod eled more closely after the movie director’s conception of the pursuit, of higher education. It is also probable that many of them would soon be bored With a life which held as few realities as do the general run of pictures purporting to repre sent the search for knowledge. Were people with a knowledge of the nature of college life the only ones to view such pictures, all would be well. The college student who watches these efforts to depict a scene which is familiar in him, notices the m«nv--**t»congiu it ies and gets an added laugh from it film which might otherwise cause hut little mirth. There are, however, people gullible enough to interpret these celluloid inanities as con firmations of tlie tales they have heard about college life. The situation is not one of alarm ing seriousness; but such obvious misrepresentations not only add nothing to the scanty list of the artistic achievements possessed bv the newest of tin- seven arts, 'but also have a. tendency to make col lege appear as a wholly frivolous waste of time. More than 250 students at Prince ton University have recently joined in submitting a petition to theater operators asking that no pictures of college life be shown the geucrnl public save such as present a “true dramatization of the American col lege.” If such tip action were to lie reflected in the number of tick ets sold when the so-called “college movies” arc being exhibited, the desired effect might he secured, for the box office is the solar plexus of the motion picture industry. —- W. <’. Dead Timber Thrown Into Discard (Washington Daily) TUESDAY last HUW the Wash ington Code (*01110 to an offi cial demise, heard the count of toil solemnly sounded over an institu tion which faculty and students alike regarded as a dead letter. -Wither a code of honor nor a code to supplant tlie honor system, the Undo was evolved to enforce tin* Honor System. In other words, it was designed to compel students to he honorable in their class room and scholastic conduct, something that probably no system, code nor creed imposed from without ever will do successfully. Dropping the Code, therefore, was simply droppii^ an enforcing agency, and in no way, as the fac ulty pointed out, meant an abolition of the Honor System. Its passing, however, does have an important consequence, for its abolition automatically causes an abolition of the Senior Council, and the passing of both means a sweep ing away of whatever self govern ment the student body possessed, outside its business organization, thi' Board of Control. This cleaning of the slate comes at an opportune time—at a time when student agitation for some participation in the affairs of the University is widespread and sin cere. What form this student par ticipation should take neither fac ulty nor students know, students probably even less than faculty, al though both are willing to ascer tain. Now, il seems to The Daily, with what existed in the past: wiped away and a clean Held ahead in which to start work, is the time for conclusions to be reached, for a de termination to be made as to what it is students want in self-govern ment. At present one committee from the student body is at work with the faculty to lind ways and means of enforcing the Honor Sys tem, no easy task. Appointment of another student group to determine first what it is the student body wants in self gov ernment, then to work with the fac ulty in attaining those ends, now is in order. Abolishing the Code and the Senior Council left a clean field in which such a committee may work. Its appointment, would be a logical and timely move. Let's Petition For a Chapter (I’enn State Collegian) \ N’KW fraternity is in process of organization at IVnu State. Its members will be drawn from stu dents who travel from Old Main classes to ones in the Liberal Arts building; visa versa; and for that i matter, those who travel anywhere on the campus. Debating upon a title for their fraternity, the pros pective members have come to the conclusion that “dump Druthers’’ will be nothing if not apt for their collective title. It seems that there are roads that mu through the campus and upon these local highways a plontitudo of traffic may be found at almost any time of the day, for the most part, strange as it may seem, just when classes are changing. And as these : cars, trucks and delivery wagons make their hurried way .lives are 1 at n premium and the agility of the modern student is the only thing that keeps him in school — low grades notwithstanding.

New i York. Payson & Clarke, Ltd. $5. The latest addition to the litera tore on Americana is this anthology of early American lyrics. The vol ume was compiled by Grenville Ver non, the versatile author, whose firsl novel, the “Image in the Path,” ii taking the women readers of thi country by storm. In the history of the Americai: I theater the lyric drama, in wliatevei its form, has been little rogardec ! and less remembered. Yet it existed [ it amused, and if now it has beer • forgotten, there is ample reasor why we should know what it mean! and was. It has been said that tbi j soul of a nation is revealed in thf | songs of its people. Here is a corner, and a forgotten one, of the Americai ' soul prior to the 'Civil war. The period covered is marked bj an extraordinary elecHcism on the part of the librettist toward the composer. He, as often as not, stole his music from whomever he wished the law of copyright having not yet placed its non possimus upon this merry method. Sometimes the lib rettist was good enough to indicate the tune he stole, and sometimes he wasn’t. There was, however, espe cially’ in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, also much original music written for the plays and operas. The songs incorporated in this anthology include both kinds. Altogether, “Yankee Doodle-Doo” is a book no lover of music or Amer icana should miss. ROBESPIERRE, by Hilaire Bel loc. New York. Putnam. $u. Reissued by the author thirty years after having been first written, “Robespierre” still offers probably the most accurate picture of the Frankenstein of the French Revolu tion that has ever been drawn. Robespierre, like so many figures of national and international fame, has become so shrouded with false yet generally accepted beliefs, that his true character has been almost entirely hidden. Perusal of all the documentary evidence of the horrible days in France just preceding and during the Terror brought Belloc to the conclusion, nearly three decades ago, that the spokesman of the Revo lution deserved what justification truth could give him. The book was the result of that decision. That Robespierre was a fanatic, Belloc does not deny. But that Robespierre was the creator or the conductor of the Revolution or that he fell because of his eagerness to magnify the Revolution, Belloc em phatically declares false. The author’s style of presentation is simple, but vivid through that simplicity. His description of the final days and the end of the par adoxical character of whom he writes is so gripping that it approaches the melodramatic. Yet even in this there is a faithful following of fact that makes the volume authoritative. MY PIOUS FRIENDS AND DRUNKEN COMPANIONS. Edited by Frank Shay and illustrated by John Held, Jr. New York. Macau lay. $2. A rare collection of songs of con viviality is "My Pious Friends and Drunken Companions, "which has just been published by Macaulay. -Many a ballad which has heretofore rung only through the congenial at mosphere of the barroom is brought! forth to blush in the company of] mild, old ladies and staid librarians. The songs arc both new and old.1 The favorite of the doughboys, "Mademoiselle of Armentiercs,” is included—slightly expurgated to be sure, but not enough to harm its in-1 triusie beauty. The volume is a de cided addition to the collections of i American music and noar-niusie1 which have been gaining popularity in recent months—books such as Dr. Sigmund Spaeth’s “Read ’em and' Weep," Frank Shay’s previous ‘Iron Men and Wooden Ships,” a olleetion of sailor songs and ehan ies, and Grenville Vernon's “ Yan kee Doodle-Doo,” which is reviewed lerewith. Some of the interesting titles (elected from the t>S included in the >ook are "Casey Jones,” “Christofo Thimbu,” "Clementine,” “When I be, ' " 1 he Old Grey Mare,” “The I Aying llobo,” -The Ballad of Lydia .’inkhatn,” and “Don’t Go in Them -ion s Cage Tonight, Alother.” The ongs are ideally illustrated with a lumber of gay woodcuts by John Iold, Jr. THE JOVOUS FRIAR, by A. J., inderson. New York. Frederick A. itokes. Along about 1901* when many of he readers of this column were turning to sav "da” and beginning 0 wonder why grown-ups delighted - dangling watches in one's face, “ J- Anderson first wrote a liistor ■al novel which ho called "The! fom'auce of Fra Filippo Lippi.” The volume published at that time as more novel than historical, and his year the author conceived the . ba of completely re-working fh<■ 1 abject of bis former book. The new "luine 's as absorbing as the first ; "d is more strict!v in accordance I ith fact. J ra Iilippo was a colorful figure: i v has come to bo almost symbolic 1 l“^t v. iiieh v. as i’iuiwiec la the fifteenth century. Though a friar, Fra Filippo acted in a most unfriar like manner; ho delighted in brief dispensation ■ of his vows and he opened his soul to all sorts of evils. “The Joyous Friar” has achieved such a wide circulation since its pub lication a short time ago that men tion of its intimate and charming style is unnecessary. * * * TIIE IMAGE IN THE PATH, by Grenville Vernon. New York. Lin I coin MaeVeagh, Dial Press. $2.50. This book is the first novel of an author who is destined to reach a ; tremendous contemporary popular ity if he continues to write the type of oratory that is contained in his initial effort. That Grenville Ver non should write a novel is not par ticularly startling, since for years after his graduation from Harvard in 1905, he has followed the trails of the newspaper game. He joined successively the n| portorial staffs of the New York j Herald, the New York Tribune, and the Evening Sun. He then trans ferred to the New York Times as music critic, and eventually went to Paris as staff correspondent of the New York World. He is at present on the editorial staff of the Dial Press. All newspaper men at some time in their lives have hopes of writing a iftvcl. Few of them do; and fewer of them that do have the success which has greeted Vernon’s book. “The Image in the Path” is a unique book in that it is an original adaptation of the triangle plot. THE WAR CHIEF, by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Chicago. A. C. McCiurg. $2. . ■ Action is the keynote of “The War Chief.” From the first page to the last there is constant move ment. Written in the typical Bur roughs style, though dealing with a less grotesque situation than the usual Burroughs tale, “The War Chief” is a book intended to achieve the solo aim of entertain ing the none-too-critical readers. There is nothing to involve serious thought in the rapidly moving pages. That, to one superficially sophisticated, is an unforgivable sin. But why should a book invoke thought? If a book appeals to thou sands of readers, it is a-good book —no matter how short it may fall of conforming to the so-called “lit erary” standards. LEGEND, by Clcmence Dane. Garden City. Doubleday-Page. A searching study of personality is “Legend,” by Clemenco Dane. The author, writing without regard to the prohibitions of stylists, has succeeded in producing a remark ably unified story and one with a tremendous dramatic appeal. * * * llareourt, Brace and Company have just published the following books: “Venture’s End,” by Karin Michaelis; “Ali Baba and Other Plays for Young People or Pup pets,” by Helen Haiman Joseph; “Magpie Lane,” by Nancy Byrd Turner; “The Story of Naughty Kildeen,” by Marie, Queen of ltou mania; “Genius and Character,” by Emil Ludwig; "a new standard edi tion of Papini's “Life of Christ”; “Industry's Coming of Age,” by Rexford Guy Tugwell; “Living Machinery,” by A. V. Ilill; “Later Greek Sculpture,” by A. W. Law- j re nee. Corrado Ricci, the famous Italian j art critic, has ■written a bouk ou the | Lombard country-side and its i artists. The English translation, with handsome off-set illustrations, lias just enlarged from its publisher, the Oxford Press, at Ho West 32nd street. The title is ‘‘Umbria Santa” —but be not discouraged by that, for it is a charming and delightful book.
