On the,other hand, the students liere do sliow reniai’kable creative ability. In this line, Stunt Night is their crowning acliieveinent. Tlie niajority of the faculty members, althougli thev have no ac tual })art hi the momentous e\ent, ncvertlieless attend this event vear after year. ((Quality—-the appraisal according to the faculty members is iisuaHy (juite generously estimated; cKtcnt of tintc—fai- into tlic Saturday liight; admission—50c or T5c.) Ikit as for the students, they don’t mind that. Instance: the -week following Stunt Night, for the good of the college conimunity at large, the faculty arranges a })erformance—an organ recital, if vou please. (Quality—of real aesthetic value; extent (tf time—less than an hovti-; a(hnission—nothing; students pi'csent—ten. (Note: ^lost of these nnisic majors.) 'I'hc purpose of tills article Is not to deride Stunt Xight, which is made up of amateur ])ei-formaiiccs, nor is the wi-iter bent on so difficult a task as that of re-educating, singlehandedly, the tastes of the college students here. 'I'he writer wishes, rather, to remind the students of the fact that tnni about fair ploy. It can be left with the students to imagine what course student criticism M'ould have taken had the percentage of faculty members refusing to buy tickets to Stunt Night ecjualed the percentage of students who did not avail themselves of the o|)portunlty of Mr. Spelman’s recital. What of the faculty’s views on the subject.^ AXO'i’HEH HAlllUE PLAY In December, 1931, the T.ittle I'heatre presented Barrie’-s Q.uid- ity Street. Last yeai’, the Senior Class also chose a liarrie play— WJicit Kvcrj! WoDion Khoxvn—as its class play. To the many Barrie enthusiasts at ^leredith, the choice of another liarrie play —The Old Lady SIiokh Her Me(hihi-~-i\.s the fall })roduction of the Little Theatre comes as a welcome announcement. The Little Theatre is fortunate In having l)i-. Florence M. Hoagland direct this ])lay. The ])ast sununer, Dr. Hoagland studied dramatics at the Emerson School in Boston. Dr. Charles E. Brewer Speoks at Tomb of Unknown Soldier (Continued from page one) increasing pressure they placed upon opposing forces. We must not, however, be content with simple meditation. We must meet the chailenge that cornea to us. Wc must likewise be active on behalf of our country. Our men at the front lighted a torch whose rays have gone around the world, In this place solemnly we resolve to take up that torch, to keep it burn ing. and to pass It on uiulimmed tu coming generations. Under these favorable conditions, with this inspiring environment, let us catch the spirit that prevailed dur ing those historic days. There was a nobility and a heroism in conduct, a purity and a determination in motive, an initiative and an efficiency in meth od, an ecstacy with utter abandon in resolution, that we may well covet and seek even with Infinite pain, for ourselves. We honor ourselves, we honor those whose memory we cherish, In trying to lireathe the spirit that animated them. If we should face conditions similar to these that obtained In 1917, we should unhesitatingly go to the front and meet the foe. In any case it Is expected of us to prove our patriot ism by Ur-inij for our country. This Is ii worthy task. It is an opportunity to show a high grade of heroism. It has to be done in the daily routine— in the home. In the church, in social life, in politics, in linance, in positions cf trust—in all relations of life. There is no flare of trumpets aliout this. The bands do not play, tlie people do not applaud. As on the battlefielii, such a life at home or in positions of (.rust and responsibility not only tests man hood but develops it. Standing i)eslde the grave of one who made the su preme .sacrifice, let us agree to carry on loyally and help to maintain the groiit principles for which our hrnthers in the great struggle fought and for which many ot tliem died, GLEANINGS And now that the Annapolis Log suggests it, we also wonder why they l)ut so many holes In Swiss cheese when it’s the limhurger that really needs the ventilation.

Dr. William McDougall and col leagues at Duke, so the Chronicle in forms us, after experimenting for twelve years, have produced evidence supporting the Lamarckian theory, This theory of the French biologist sets forth the "hypothesis of an or ganic evolution which depended upon environment to account for changes In animals and plants."

The Aconi we are asking the Alumnae to cooperate with us by sending back numbers which we do not have. Of course, the bound volumes in the library have been kept up to date, but wc do not have a complete file in the office. Each year the need for such grows greater. The copies may bo sent as second class mail, and we will re turn the amount of postage paid. We realize that those of the Alumnae who have kept their Acorns have done so because they treasured them, and we will appreciate their cooperation doub- perfect—and then found her husband wanted to divorce her to marry a beautiful glamorous siren! He flings her reputation Into the mud, hires witnesses to He about her, tries to take their son from her—all so he can marry another woman, though he had once told her that there could be for him “no other woman.” Was she rigiit In believing through torment, abuse, disgrace, that he meant it'/ Did she know better than he did what he wanted?
