The Day Question
Becomes More Mellow
SIXCH if seemed good to flip
committee to christen this Bail's
day, it is not for the Kmer,11 <! to
ilennir.
Many of you duds, no iloulit, can
appro,ciiitc our feelings l.i.f you lit
recall the advent of the one who is
responsible for your presence here,
today. Without danger of strain
ing the analogy we’ll assume that
you, even as we, did not have every
thing to do with naming it. And
that although you hadn't been par
ticularly hern on any definite label
for him (or her) to grace or tar
nish your own with, yet that you
were a bit nonplussed when the final
decision was announced. At first,
maybe, you had to gulp your disap- |
pointment. But as time went on j
you strangely began to sense that '
any other name in this special in-j
stance would have been preposter-I
ous. And you mutely marveled—if j
it chanced to occux...to you -at the j
miracle of insight fffiit decided this ;
vital point.
We’ve hardly reached that phase
in kindly adaption, or rationaliza
tion if you choose to call it by a
harsher name. But we do observe
a rift in our associations which for
merly lumped Dad’s days and neck
tie hawkers in the same way that
Mother's day and “say it with
flowers” are bound together.
The Kmcrnid settles the ultimate
responsibility for this metallic note
in the words Dud’s day on the in
dulgence of these very fathers be
ing honored. Too many of us have
been well informed about Dad's
day for too ninny years. Yes, we
have known Dad’s day is pay day,
ami that it comes at least once a
month. As long as this relation
ship persists, fathers must resign |
themselves to their self-committed
fate of being evaluated rather than j
appreciated.
But in the meantime, dads, glean |
from the day what it will bring you -
in joy. We hope you will find it
productive. Itecall that the in- |
forests of the University arc yours
oven nioro, in a manner, than they
are those of your sons and daugh
ters. And if flic brooding prophets’
auguries, which cynically point to
the needs of the University, do be
come revealed to you in the course
of your stay here, know that it is
only to make you feel really at home.
Out of His Mouth
Comes Forth Wisdom
/“\NK of the “green freshmen” is
^ piqued at the charge that:
“If you put the. green freshman
with the Friendly Hall sophisticated
upperclassmen, he is at a disad
vantage through the loss of study.”
And we judge that, so far, the
green defendant has somewhat till'
upper hand in the argument with a
senior woman. His theories regard
ing the salutary benefits of group
study would scarcely withstand the
close scrutiny of an authority on
formal learning. But, after all, the
measure of a successful freshman
year is not totaled in books alone.
His lessons in adjustment and the
fruitful counsel of some intelligent
older man—there seems to be at
least one in every group —more than
recompenses him for his hours frit
tered away before the fireplace.
The unaffiliated lirst year man
we conceive as the unhappiest of
all. No amount, of enthusiasm or
love of learning can carry him
through the depths of a lonely year
without stimulation closer to him
than the faculty. And if he does
wear through such a year, he is
well on the road to a permanent
antisocial bias unless his genius
is extraordinary.
There is nothing, from our view
point, that indicates more auspic
iously the progressive trend of the
University than the assurance of
adequate dormitory accommoda
tions before many vears.
Our correspondent is quite cor
reel. II is is no disadvantage, and
the Hmerald congratulates him on
realizing it even though the facts
of the matter escape the "sophisti
cated upperclassmen.”
Commun
ications
Returns Rapid Fire
To tin* PMitor:
In your column, '‘Rapid Fire Re
plies to Furious (Queries,” in Thurs
day \« Kmerald, a statement is
made by one of the interviewed
w hit'li at iirst glance appears rather
startling. The statement is to the
effect that putting the ^reeu fresh
man in with the sophisticated up*
pertilnssmen of Friendly Hall re
sults in loss of study to the fresh
man. As on(l of the freshmen liviuj;
with these “sophisticated upperclass
men/* I would w ish to » aim Miss
Hail's fears by stating that, far
front ho in ££ at a disadvantage in
Friendly Hall, lie is at a distinct
advantage, due to the fact that there
are opportunities for “Toup study
iujr which is oftentimes helpful, and
certainly not at all harmful to any
one.
Friendly Hall may not lead the
scholarship list of the living oruan
i/ations, but it is distinctly unfair
to say that Frcudly Hall freshmen
are at a disadvantage, and is also
deliberately misleading. President
Jlull has said that we have the
pro fo tin dost convictions on subjects
of which wo have the least knowl
edge, and it would appear that Mis*,
(tail’s tirade against Friendly Hall
bears out his contention.

(iietehen says these nice days are
out by a recognized system of num
bering and lettering; to have a
margin; to have proper punctuation
and paragraphing; to have a table
of contents; to have footnotes; and
last, but not least, a good, unnotated
bibliography, should be a few of
the mechanical features of a writ
ten paper. The material should in
clude illustrations, examples, in
stances. information, and facts re
lating to the main theme of the
paper, comparisons, abstractions, at
tractive devices to get the subject
matter over, generalizations, and
conclusions which are well founded
should be in the technique. These
and many other things should be
learned at an early date in college
life in order to prevent the quality
of term papers from heading any
further down the ’‘long road to
Jericho,'' quoting Professor Puuu.
The sentiment of the Knglish de
partment was expressed by a profes
sor who had been sorely tried by
tin' quality of a certain student’s
work. At Until examination time
the paper was, as usual, wretchedly
written, and the student ill closing
his paper said, “1 can’t tinish for
lack of time.” The instructor, in
nil earnestness and seriousness,
wrotu beneath it, "Thank Hod."
