In April 1921 the Twig made its first appearance as a three- column paper. “The editors and contributors of the Twig are putting their most valual)le time in its ]>i'oduction—what are vou doing.?” This was the atbltude of the staff nearly fifteen years ago; it reflects the attitude of our staff toda}'. A copy of cacli issue is filed in the library. The old Twigs are intcrc-sting to I'ead and tlirow nuicii light on college life in days gone by. Why not get out some of the old copie.s and see liow Class Day WJI.S conducted, how the societie.s ])j-ogrnms, cntc’ftiiimiicnts, and atliletics were carried on? It will be fuii! This year the Twig aims to serve students and faculty to tlie best of its ability. Evei-y staff member is an.xious to make this yeai’ one of the most succcssful ones in its history. With your help we can reach ouj- goal. If you know any news that should be pub lished, tell it to one of the staff members and she will do her best to satisfy you. Sometimes tins business of “running down” all tiie new's is quite a task; therefore, we are asking students and faculty to cooperate with tlie reporters when they come to you for infor mation. We want our pa|)er to be accurate, interesting, and beneficial. ANNOUNCEMENTS In order tliat students may voice their opinions, tlie Twig M’ill run an Open Eorum. If you have a suggestion to make concern ing any phase of stiulcnt life, contribute your idea to the cam])us through the Open Foi’um. The 0|)en Foi’uni column belongs strictly to the students.

All freshmen wtio are intei'ested in trying out for the Twjo staff', come to room 205 B for information and assignments before October 8. This is a good opportunity for new girls to line tiiem- selves up with some phase of campus activity, and it may prove to bo valuable experience. and said, “I’m going to sew!” Quoth he, “So what!"

MIbs Lattle Rhodes said, “I stay&di here and wrote letters all the summer, but I am going to have my vacation this Call,” Dr. A. C. Reid Delivers Opening Address September 12 (Continued from page one) condemned because he had thus re flected on the intellects of his hearers. It he chose a serious subject, he would be told that no one wanted to hear that sort of thing. Accordingly, a subject, possibly thought to be neither pleasant nor serious was chosen.— ’Woman. Specifically, Dr. Reid dealt with Woman As Custodian. He stated that practically everything Is in danger to day: freedom of thought, the home, religious liberty. They must be safe guarded by intelligent and alert public opinion. Students have come to college to prepare themselves for these in escapable obligations as custodians. Devotion and honesty are necessary in this preparation, and Dr. Reid said that he had come to Insist on the peculiar fitness of studenta for this task. Three things, above all others, he believea In immediate need of safe guarding. First, the home, the focus of Industry and the greatest creative institution, should be saved. Compar ing the liome to a studio, where an artist creates, a scientific laboratory, where the chemist officiates, and a forum, where the orator holds sway. Dr. Reid stated that the home, the domain of woman, Is greater than any one or all of these. “Creation Is womanhood at Its best.” JSxternal Corcea, according to the speaker, in the form of careers, professions, and travel, threaten the integrity of the home. He said that those who leave home must make a home in the spirit. “The home must prevail. If woman fails in this, she will have failed in her greatest trust.” Secondly, woman must safeguard the beautiful. Life would be cold ration ality without feeling and beauty. Artificiality and ugliness are the products of man's efforts. Therefore, through genuineness, since veneer is attractive but unsatisfactory, and through refinement, the beautiful must be safeguarded. In the third place. Idealism must be safeguarded. Idealism is a dynamic demanded by man's nature. “Rational ism has proved Itself Incompetent. Rationalism^ as such Inevitably leads to agnosticism and skepticism.'' As proof of this. Dr. Reid recited the lament of Dr. Faustus, He stated that the new era must be dominated by other than rationalism. Idealism must predominate In practical life. In busi ness. ha said that Idealism and not coercion should rule. Whimsically, he MISS WARNER TAKES EXTENSIVE EUROPEAN TOUR (Continued from page one) twirling contest, and the battle cart of the old Commune is drawn in by white men. Then comes the race and the triumphal cortege. The next set of pictures Is of Rome, including views of many places of in terest and the national sports ^ay, de signed to create a feeling of national ism in which about 15,000 youths took part in various exercises. The pictures of Naples show Vesuvius smoking in the distance. From Naples she went over the lovely Amalfi Drive to Pompei, taking colored pictures of the views. The Isle of Capri and many other places on the Mediterranean Sea were also taken In colors. Likewise the Cathedral at Milan is shown in colors. Miss Warner went on to Paris and London. While in England she studied three weeks at the Oxford Summer School, and took some pictures of the tennis matches at Wimbledon. An interesting shot was the Palace of tlie Duke and Duchess of Marlboro where a political rally of the Conservative party was being held. From London she crossed back to Havre and sailed for home.

Wealth should be predomi nated by a sense of usefulness. The thlnlng example of this Is the Good Samaritan. In cloalng. Dr. Reid stated that idealism must even exceed the practi cal issues of life. The after-world is not arrived at by rationalization, but by boundless faith—idealism. Lastly, Dr. Reid reiterated his plea that woman safeguard the home, the beau* tiful, and the Ideal.
