Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler are giv ing a progressive dinner in honor of the Academy seniors. “Washington’s boyhood has been distorted, his public career has been misrepresented to further the selfish political interests of his successors, and his historians have deliberately talsifled the things he said and did in order to present a picture of the ‘Father of Our Country’ as a man without a fault.” Prof. James B. Hedges of Brown, indulges in a lit tle debunking. SAIPaVS SCRAIP I9€©r; ‘Oil, to be home again, home again, home again, Under the apple boughs, down by the mill.” —James T. Fields. « * * NOSTALGIA “It is spring down in Virginia, And the lilacs are in bloom, And here am I, a stranger In a strange unfriendly room; And niy heart is sick within me Of the tumult far below, Where the voices of the city Surge and mutter, ebb and flow. “It is spring down in Virginia And the iris lift their heads With the tulips and the jonquils Prom a thousand flower beds; And the woods are white with dogwood And the gaunt old apple trees Fling a cloud of starry blossoms, Pink and fragrant to the breeze. “It is spring down in Virginia Drifts of pale wisteria spills Creamy clouds in azure cradled, Dance in shadows on the hills! I can see the leaning fences With the honeysuckle clinging, And the willows by the river Where a mocking bird is singing! “It is spring down in Virginia Ah, the delicate w'ild rose, And the pine trees sighing, sighing. To the cawing of the crows, And my heart is sick within me. Wrung with absence, sick to death For a road down in Virginia And its laurel-scented breath!” —Florence Wilson Roper. “I AVrite As I Please,” by Walter Duranty is a best seller. He has used the story of his experiences as a cor respondent in Russia as background. The rest is simply that he wrote what occurred to him as interesting — any anecdotes or comments that he happened to think about. The idea of this kind of book was given Mr. Duranty by his late friend, William Bolitho. # * * Let me recommend “Honey in the Horn” by H. L. Davis. It is a dashing, out-of-door book about unusual people. * * « “All that is beautiful shall abide All that is base shall die.” —Robert W. Buchanan. PARENTS OF ACADEMY STUDENTS RECEIVED AT TEA Thursday afternoon, March 19, from four to six o ’clock, the parents of the off-campus students and the friends of tho faculty and resident students of Salem Academy were honored at a delightful tea. The guests wore greeted and presented to the receiving line in which were: Mrs. Eondthalr, Miss Weaver, Miss Zachary, Miss Jackson, Nancy Camp bell, president of'the senior class; Rose Willingham, president of the junior class; Betty Lee Bell, president of the sophomore class; Mildred Parks, president of the freshman class. Presiding at the tea table were Miss Vogler and Betty Mac- Xair, president of the Student Rep- resentives. The following students helped serve the delicious refresh- THIS COLLEQIATE WORLD m HE TRIED, ANYWAY (By Associated Collegiate Prc^s) The people in the hot country of India have a considerable weakness for titles, degrees and other forma of embellishment, related Dr. John Seudder in a lecture at Rutgers Uni versity. To illustrate, Dr. Seudder told about receiving a calling card from a man in Calcutta. This man had been flunked out of his college. In the lower corner, after the name, there was printed, “Failed B.A.” THE AIR COLUMN GOES ROUND AND BOUND Miss Pipher, columnist at Los An geles Junior College, is somewhat ments: Ora Jones, Eleanor Trivett, j ^jgeouraged with Prof. Rollin F. Polly Guerrant, Mary Spotswood Charles of Franklin and Marshall col- Coan, Anna Bitting Whitaker, Nan Meyers, Nita Montague, Johnsie Moore Edith Womble, and Marian .Johnson. The social room was attractively decorated with beautiful spring flow ers. Everyone enjoyed the informal chatting of the hour. HAVE YOU A PET BOGEY-BOO? Rochester, N. Y. (ACP)—Has high er education abolished superstition? Not on the University of Roches ter campus. No indeedy. Pet buga boos uncovered by a recent depart ment of sociology investigation in cluded all the old stand-bys and a few new ones. There are the men students, for in stance, who will wear only a partic ular “pet” tie on examination days, and those who never say “I hit the books” because of the alarming ef fect the phrase has on their grades. Men are far more sui^rsitious than women, the investigation shows, and athletes are particularly susceptible. A trackman reported that he never dared shave on the day of a race, and would rather run barefoot than wear any but the first pair of track .shoes he ever owned. Other athletes rely on a careful shining of their shoes before a con test, or a wad of gum stuck on their equipment somewhere. A football man reported on the efficiency of prayer. lip forgot to pray before a game once, he says, and it cost him a broken leg. I LIVE IN A HAUNTED HOUSE lege for his recent deflationary re marks concerning a song which Miss Pipher rather likes. The song is “The Music Goes ’Round and Around.” This is false propaganda, says Prof. Charles. While the music may come out “here,” it simply does not go round and round inside the horn. There just isn’t any music at all until the sound waves reach the bell of the horn. Then the air column and the instrument itself oscillate to produce the tonal effect. Miss Pipher is discouraged because she has been experimenting with the now conception of the song. Her efforts have only brought her to, “Tho air column goes round and round and it oscillates here, doesn’t care for it. She STUDENTS ASSERT THEMSELVES Professors at the University of North Carolina can breathe more easily now. For a moment it looked as if students would go on record asking that professors all take com prehensive examinations in the sub jects they teach. But they didn’t vote that way. However, they did vote their desire that all professors take compulsory courses in public .speaking. Science is wonderful and ingenuity is wonderful and pretty soon all the little problems that vex you are go ing to be solved. This week’s report of solved prob lems concerns the neat device employ ed by a young man at Northwestern University when he wishes to extract gold from his male parent. Ho carefully follows market re ports in the daily newspax>er and whenever the stocks his father holds Upon the stairs I hear a muffled footstep And then without my door a low-, go then he drops a note to father, expecting to hit him in the correct voiced moan. (Had you remembered in your gloomy , mood, grave How sunny were the windows of your home.) So weary with your burden of the earth, Poor little ghost of vanished yes terdays, Too soft and timid are your sighs to note Had I not had a warning of your ways. There comes a subdued tapping at my window; You whisper and so gently call to me. (I should have thought it just the windblown branches Had I not known the house to haunted be.) —Jennifer Lynne. The eminent alienist recognized the thug who was holding him up. "Look here,” he protested, “I’m your benefactor. Don’t you recall that I once saved you from a life sen tence by proving you crazy f ’ ’ ' ‘ Sure, I remember you now, ’ ’ the thug said as he continued his work. ‘And ain’t holdin’ up your benefac tor a crazj' thing to do ? ” "I don’t see why Jack should get sore because the- school paper an nounced he -was leaving at the end ' the semester.” “Oh, it wasn’t just that. What made him sore was that they put it in under the ‘Campus Improvements’ column. ’ ’ At the moment there appears to be some discussion at the University of Minnesota as to whether or not officials ought to install a special course in marriage problems, such as they have at some schools. The columnist in The Minnesota Daily has made his own suggestion to help untie the problem. So far no official cognizance of this suggestion has been taken however. His contribution is in the form of a question: “Would it be wise to make it a laboratory course?” Interesting results have followed the study made by Dr. William S. Learned of the Carnegie Foundation, of comparative stores of informa tion held by high school seniors and college students. He studied 49 col leges in Pennsylvania and a large group of high schools, giving four- hour comprehensive tests to students. He found that:— Some college freshmen knew more than probably any college teacher they might have. Other freshmen had so little knowlege that is was a ‘practical impossibility” they would learn much in college. No back ground. Ten per cent of 1,.'500 high school seniors knew more than did half of 3,700 students just finishing college. Twenty-five per cent of the college seniors know less than half of 5,700 college sophomores. Ten per cent of the college seniors knew less than than did half of the high school seniors. In general, the “enormous spread of scores completely belies the schol astic classification to which our reg istrars now devote such metivulous pains. ’ ’ A PAT ON THE BACK “The modern college student is a more active and selective learner than ever before. ’ ’ ABSENTEE ATTENDANCE Greenville, Tex. —(ACP)—Laura Crawford, Wesley Junior College co- cd, had to go to bed, because the doc tor ordered it; but that didn’t i>re- vet her from attending classes. She did it by proxy, sending her mother daily to pick up assignments, at the same time turning in previous ly-assigned work. The system brings high grades. Miss Crawford reports. QUOTABLE QUOTES (By Associated Collegiate Press) “Today it almost takes a cipher expert to read the handwriting of tho average schoolboy.” The editor of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin an nounces, sorrowfully, that the type- w’riter has come to stay. “America is a well watered coun try and the inhabitants know all of tho fishing holes. The Americans also produce millions of automobiles.” So says former President Herbert Hoover, contributor to “Chappar- ral, ” Stanford humor magazine.
