The Faculty Looks at Matrimony
By CHARLOTTE WESTER
We all come to college to learn some
thing; at least that’s what we’Fe sup
posed to come for, but I can honestly
say I didn’t know I was to learn quite
so much about matrimony as I have had
poured Into me so far. I had heard that
the main reason parents send their o^-
springs away to school was to get them
ready to be passed oit to Somebody
Else. Maybe Miss English had tliat In
mind when she told us Freshmen at
the beginning ot the year that a large
percentage of girls married boys they
met while they were in college and
asked us to meet as many as we could.
One of Dr. Winston’s pupils must have
really gone in for this study, for when
she was asked what homology meant
(something concerned with hydrocar
bons) she calmly replied, "the science
of man.”
Here are a few things I’ve learned
so far. Maybe they’ll help you. When
you get ready to be ‘‘passed on,” and
your fiance asks you to pick out your
engagement ring, take Dr. Winston’s
advice and choose a refrigerator.
They’re much more important—to Dr.
Winston. If that One-and-Only doesn’t
want you to smoke, and you’re not' yet
married and want to please him—but it
Isn’t so easy to break an old habit—
try the old-fashioned way of carrying
matches around in a little bottle of
sulphuric acid so they’ll strike, and it
won’t be long before you don’t Indulge.
Maybe you’re having a hard time
learning just what proportion Is. That
will no longer be a problem, if, when
your friends start giving parties for you,
try Dr. Winston's plan of seeing that
a certain percentage of boys go out with
a certain percentage of girls every
time. That’s supposed to happen, 1£
your crowd doesn’t mind if stags sit
on its dates once in a while. By all
means don’t do too much planning on
your house while you’re at Meredith,
you might follow one girl’s example and
get the “oleums” all mixed and say
petroleum is a kind of rug since lino
leum and congoleum are.
If you don't want a divorce to loom
up and tear down your dream-castles,
please learn the difference between the
formulas for washing soda and baking
soda (one has a hydrogen ion in it, the
other does not) for one of Dr. Winston’s
pet theories is that one hydrogen ion
may cause a divorce—If washing soda
Is used instead of baking soda in bis
cuits. I guess she’s right, if you read
formulas instead of labels when you
start cooking. One thing I've learned,
though, that ought to be true, is, that
even in heaven, there couldn’t be a
surer way to happiness than marriage.
That’s what Miss Peacock said, and
she certainly ought to know.

"I think that to send delegates to a

profitable ways a college can spend Its
money,” Miss Moseley said, '‘because
it stimulates new thought and activi
