rV letter received by a student at
Wesleyan University from a friend
living in (Jermany, reads in part
follows: “The students of the
■man Academy of the University
of Munich, giving courses for for-
igners, herewith, unanimously of
heir own free will and accord, de-
lare that not a single one of them,
rrespective of nationality, race or
reed, was, during the entire course
'f the German national revolution,
molested in any manner whatsoever,
r in Municli or in any other
lan city.”

A new way has been found to
“work your way tlirough” at I.ouisi-
ana Tech. A group of enterprising
students has established a college
information bureau, operated by
telephone. They rent out “use of
air” to local business men, and now
any one calling for information
must listen to a short advertising
talk before liis question is answered.
The firms get advertising, the stud
ent gets tuition, and the enquirer
gels Jiis information, if he waits
long enough.

In one of tlie big Western Col

PRELIMINARY RESULTS
OF POLL SHOW INCREAS
ING TENDENCY TOWARD
PACIFISM
New York City—American col
lege students, taking a stand on
their willingness to join the ranks
in the event of another war made a
qualified negative answer bv a two-
to-one majority, according to pre
liminary reports received by the Na
tional Student I'ederation.
Definite reports received to date
from 20 colleges and universities
from every section of the country
show a total of 10,971 ballots cast.
Of that number, 3,915 students de
clared they would answer a call lo
arms under any circumstances, while
(),958 stated that they would resist
entering an offensive war, or that
they would fight only in case of an
actual invasion of the mainland of
this country.
Only two institutions asked to
have their identity withheld. A par
tial list of the colleges and universi
ties from which reports have been
received with the percentage of
their total enrollment voting is as
follows: Princeton University, 1%;
Massaclmsetts State College, 50'/t ;
University of Cincinnati, 26%; Vas-
sar College, .31'/^ ; Connecticut Col
lege, 50'/; Beaver College, 59'/ ;
Smith College, 50'/ ; Hood College,
;J7'/ ; Wesleyan College, 38'/, ; Wel
lesley College, .i4'/ ; University of
Delaware (Womens’ Co'.iege), 50' '
W'est Virginia Statp College, 37'
Ohio Wesleyan University, 45'
Tulane University, 33'/ .
'I’lie resolution suggested by the
Xational Student Fcdf^ration
consideration was, “Ls it your ]
to answer or res
•all t
nilitarv
r of a
char,
e giv-
•olving the
united States?”
At five colleges studentt
en an opportunity to c: ^
opinion on their willingness to entt
either an offensive or defensive wai
Of the total who declared the
would resist a call to arms, 1,387
stated that they would be willing to
tight for the United States in the
case of a defensive war.
Students at Harvard passed a
resolution su])])orting the action tak
en by the Oxford Union Societ\’
which adopted the resolution, “That
this house will in no circumstances
fight for King and Country.”
A percentage report from the
University of Washington indicated
that 21'/' of the students would re
use to bear arms for the United
tatcs under all circumstances,
hile 70'/- stated they would be will-
ig to fight in case of an invasion.
In one institution, City College of
Jew York City, the ])rivilege of a
;udent poll was prohibited by fac
ulty authorities.
Peace pledges posted on the cam-
nis of Princeton University were
;orn down, and only 20 signatures
,vcre made on those pledges which
.v‘re collected. It is believed that
many of the pledges were destroyed
l)ecause students opposed the phras
ing of the resolution.
The poll taken at Columbia Uni
t'ersity is of especial interest be-
cau.se students were offered several
questions which were designed to
)ring out a more qualified opinion,
•20 students voted. The questions
,nd answers were as follows:
Would fight under any circum
stances, 81.
Id bear arms under no circum
stances, 293.
Would fight in ease of invasion,
■tSi.
Would fight to protect citizens or
investments abroad, 38.
Would hear arms for other reasons
not formally citel, 24.
Would suffer imprisonment for
sake of convictions, 464.
Would not, 191.
Object to bearing arms on: Relig-
js grounds, 33; ethical grounds.
15; feel that war can never be jus
tified, 498.
Student editors in many institu
tions hailed the national peace poll
the first eonstructiv'e effort in
organizing student opinion on any
problem of major significance.
ITALIAN EMISSARY ASKS
CO-OPERATION OF COL
LEGE ATHLETIC DEPTS.
New York, N. Y.—Dr. George
Curti, College of William and Mary
Williamsburg, Va., has recently re
quested the co-operation of the ath
letic departments in all American
colleges and universities in select
ing competitors to repre.sent the
United States in the approaching
world univeristy games.
Dr. Curti’s letter, which is spon
sored by the Italian Consulate in
this country, says in part: “An In
ternational Student Conference will
meet at Venice from August 20th to
September 2iul, during the charac
teristic night festivals on the Lagoon
and the Olympic University (iames
will take place from the 1st to the
10th of September at Turin, the
former capital of Italy near the
Alps.
“I fully realize the time limit
and would appreciate a reply as
soon as possible, calling your atten
tion to the opportunity of allowing
those who attend the.se manift
tions to spend tw'o w'eeks in I
at a price so low that it is not li^
to be offered again in any other
casion.
“It would be fitting to post a
tiee on the athletic bulletin board of
your college announcing the follow
ing events: track and field events,
swinnning and water polo, fencing,
tennis. Association football (soc
cer), Rugby football, rowing basket
ball.
THE GRADING SYSTEM
This business of going to school
to make a mark is leading to the
degradation of many a bright school
child.
'I'ake, for example, this case: Per-
eival makes A on spelling, while little
Johnny who is certainly as smart
as Percy makes only ‘ C. W'hat
makes the difference? Just this.
While Percy sits alone indoors and
faithfully studies his spelling les
son, .Johnny is outdoors playing
marbles with a group of carefree
little boys just ]iL> himself. He is
making friends with those boys and
getting the rest and recreatiim that
Ids mind and body need after ;x
day in school, but mi.sled little Percy
is getting little more than the prom
ise of an A on his report card.
What will Percy have after he
gets the A? What does the A tell
his parents? Nothing. The so-
called “report” rejjorts nothing but
that Miss Teacher thinks So and So
has made such and such a grade on
some subject or other. Such is not
only the ))light of elementary school
children but of secondary students
as well. 'I'hey, liowever, not onh
strive for a grade but also to sur
pass one another bv any means
available.
Suppose Susan brings home a I)
on Latin. Susan’s mother is not at
all pleased and tells Susan that un
less she makes at least B on Latin
for the next quarter she may not
have the dinner dress that has been
promised her.
Well thinks little Susie, I guess
I’ll have to make a B one wav or
the other. I’ll cheat. I’ll copy,' I’ll
do anything for that dress since this
business of going to school is not
to educate me but to make me bring
home high marks. And there you
are. Susie makes the B, hut she’s
worse off than she would have been
if she had failed completely.
1 am a student, and I go to
school to learn. Most of my pa
pers are returned to me with C’s
across tium, some with B’s, and
very few with A’.s—but I’ll wager
that if w'c w’ho make mediocre grades
should be forced to earn our living
before we finish school we would get
along as well as anv of the voung
ladies who average A anl B plus
would under the same circumstances.
Why should tiu're be any grades?
Why can’t our teachers sum up our
))rogress in something more than a
string of lett(n-s? Where does an
Honor Roll of A’s and B plus’s get
us? Why can’t we forget the grades
and learn ?
