“Poetry can be to us the battle never fought, the
prize never won, the love never realized, or it can he a new
faith in fighting, a new dream of the prize to be won, a
new realization of old loves that we have known a long
time.’'
—ilarguerite "Wilkinson.

NEW SYSTEM IN GER
MAN UNIVERSITIES
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)
Heretofore, the universities have
held the privilege of choosing their
own teachers. This privilege, by a
recent law, has been abolished. The
present decree provides that their
appointment be in the hands of the
Government, and gives it the power
of transferring them, for political
reasons, from one university to an
other. Although the professors and
students received the new law with
out protest, which was the only safe
way to receive it, there exists a
feeling of bitterness among them
because of it.
Also, under the Nazi regime,
Sparta has replaced Athens as the
model for the German University.
Particular emphasis is, accordingly,
placed on military service, an em
phasis which interferes strongly
with scholastic attainments. This
interference is, nevertheless, what
is desired by the government. The
system is designed to prevent the
students from becoming intellect
uals, as the intellectual” is “ a
type disliked and mistrusted by
Nazi leaders,” as one inducing
class pride. However, the students,
under the leadership of some of the
older Nazi officials, have formed a
defensive alliance, which may yet,
if not actually bring back Athens,
unite the two ancient schools.
Students are voting for or against
teachers at the professional popular
ity poll. They go back to mid-term
inpuisition and poll out the prof.
who asks for the description of the
border design on Cleopatra’s hankie,
Act II, Scenel. It is an effort to
teach the teachers to be reminded of
the time when they were but un
learned lumps of clay and knew not
whereof they spoke. What if silence
was once golden; we went off the
standard a year ago.

Rules, Rules, Rules, Rules
Are made by the Wise to guide the
Fools.
The Wise feel foolish when they
make them.
Where Fools are absent the Wise
grow lazy—
Distinctions ’twixt wisdom and folly
get hazy.
Oh, W'ise! Look around and see
the mess
That cigarette stubs make and then
confess
That Wisdom has governed in the
request.
Ubiquitous smoking be supressed.
Sibley won’t burn, but the contents
can.
And dresses will catch like a “flash

So may the menace and mess de
crease
And all your ashes REST IN
PEACE!

pinned at the back of her head, the

Watch for the new tambourine
trimmed hats. They’re the gayest,
newest of the spring crop. The brims
are actually like tambourines with a
shallow crown on top!
The cowl and the drawstring neck
lines are more popular then ever this
spring because they are flattering.
The cowboy neckline is new and
smart.
Patch pockets ave seen on all sorts
of dresses. Tucks, smocking and
shirring give new detail — shoulder
tucks particularly.
Daytime clothes are as tailored
and simple as ever. Accessories —
Gloves, Shoes, and Bags are especial

a certain young man called around.
Idalyza had guests from Lynch
burg this week-end. Now, we know
why she talks so much about Ann
and Doris. Idalyza, did the bring
any message or news from deah Ber
nard ?
Jane Boren, who refused to be ‘a
stay in ’ this week-end, went to
Greensboro and visited her Grand
mother.
‘Dot” HufafC finally managed to
leave us for a week-end in Fayette
ville. She brought back some darl
ing new spring numbers and it looks
as if she ’II be coming out in them
soon.
Eloise Sharpe from Roanoke, Va.,
visited Mildred Troxler, Sunday aft
ernoon and took Lou Proas, Helen
Smith, Virginia Gough and Mildred
riding.
Wilena Couch was the week-end
guest of Cornelia Wolfe and “Gam”
also came up to see “Connie”
such popularity!
Whether IMen Hodges locked her
roommate, Mary Woodruff out this
week-end on purpose is unknown.
But really — we think the idea of
going to Kinston for an entire week
end was more than Helen could
stand and in her great state of ex
citement she merely forgot about
those keys, Mary.
Louise York, “Jo” Gibson, Edith,
Margaret Hodges and Janie went
riding with Lillian Smith Sunday
afternoon.
Ann Busick visited in Bedford,
Va., over the week-end. Really
Ann, first it’s Burlington and now
it’s Bedford;—what’s coming next?'
Edith Sappenfield went to Chapel
Hill and she had a marvelous time

Is The Place
.Which first I felt in childhood
when I woke
And heard the unheeding garden
bird who sang
Strangeness of heart for me while
morning broke;
Or when in latening twilight sure
with spring.
Pausing on homeward paths along
the wood.
No sadness thrills my thought
while thrushes sing,
And I’m no more the listening
child who stood
So many sunsets past and could
not say
What wandering voices called
from far away:
When I have lost these simple
spells that stirred
My being wth an untranslated
song,
Let me go home for ever; I shall
have heard
Death; I shall know that I have
lived too long.
—Siegfrid Sassoon.
SCRUB
If I grow bitterly
Like a gnarled and stunted tree,
Bearing harshly of my youth
Puckered fruit that sears my
mouth.
If I make of my drawn boughs.
An inhospitable house.
Out of which I never pry
Towards the water and the sky,
Under which I stand and hide
And hear the day go by outside;
It is that a wind too strong
Must years go by in sad un
certainty
Leaving us doubting whose the
conquering blows.
Are we or Fate the victors? Time
which shows
All inner meanings will reveal,
but we
Shall never know the upshot.
Ours to be
Wasted with longing, shattered in
the throes.
The agonies of splendid dreams,
which day
Dims from our vision, but each
night brings back;
We strive to hold their grandeur,
and essay
To be the thing we dream. Sud
den we lack
The flash of insight, life grows
drear and gray.
And hour follows hour, nerve
less, slack.
—Amy LoAvell.
What you are I cannot say;
Only this I know full well
When I touched your face today
Drifts of blossoms flushed and
fell .
Whence you came I cannot tell;
Only—with your joy you start
Chime on chime from bell on
bell
In the cloisters of my heart.
—Siegfrid Sassoon.
Bent my back when I was young.
It is that I fear the rain
Lest it blister me again.
—Edna St. Vincent Milay.
