Dr. Mordecai Ham
Addresses Students
Pan-Hellenic Council is making
a comprehensive study of the Rush
ing Regulations on other outstand
ing campuses in order to improve
the system followed here. A series
of letters is being mailed to
other Pan-Hellenic Councils ask
ing for copies of rules, and on the
basis of the information received,
tha councJ plans to completely re-
vi'-e the rules fo’- Queens, and to
make the plan for rushin.g as suc-
c’rsful and es perfect as possible.
At the last meeting of the Pan-
ILUenic Council, the members dis
cussed methods of bringing the six
nationa's in closer contact. In-
ter-scrority “sings,” so popular on
other campuses, are being consid
ered. Before the holidays the
Ccuneil hopes to have organized
the “sings” or some other plan
and to have the sororities joining
on some definite program.
The awarding of the Pan-Hel
lenic Scholarship Cup to the soror
ity having the highest average as a
group for the year is one of the
chief events of Graduation Week.
It is felt, however, that the event
does not have the significance it
deserves, since it is but one of
niany awards "lade ■’t graduation.
This year the Pan-Hellenic Council
is considering a formal Pan-Hel-
lon’c Dinner to be given in May for
the purpose of making that
Scholastic Award, as well as bring
ing together the sororities.
Educators don’t recognize great
ness because they want confirma
tion to standards,” said Dr. Mor
decai P. Ham, well-known revival
ist, in a chapel address “Blunders
of our Educators and Education.”
Dr. Ham cited many examples of
famous men who were considered
failures in school, because they
could not conform to the stand
ards set for them. Napoleon, he
said, finished forty-second in his
class; Patrick Henry was a com
plete failure in school, while Gold
smith was “the dullest boy his
teacher ever taught.” Even Edi
son was referred to as an addle
brain, and Ford was hopeless in
school.
“I am not against education,
Dr. Ham continued, “I want to
use everything science can furnish,
but the fault of our educational
system is that we do not study the
individual; we study the dead in
stead of the living.
“You can not do what that
other person does,” he said in urg
ing that individuality and initia
tive not be allowed to be crushed.
Even in nature, he said, no two
things are alike.
“Hnm'-n souls are placed under
vour care.” he continued. “Are
-ou going to contribute to their
success or their downfall? The
'irst great contribution to success
’s to discover vour own special
talent with the help of your Crea
tor. You will be a success if you
are, where you are supposed to
be.

magazine, presented to modern col
lege men and women in America.
It is an adequate medium for na
tional advertisers who wish to con
tact the college people.
A few years ago there arose
from the voices of burlesque edi
torial writers, press and cinema,
authors and playwrights, a myth
“The Collegian.” College men
and women made no protest against
being depicted as “weird creatures”
Whose i.q. was leagues under
the sea and whose ionoclastic phil
osophy, seeking the sensational and
the new, never surmounted the
infantile gestures of “hail fellow
well met." The public considered
college life but a “nightmare of
drinking bouts, eccentric profes
sors, and happy-go-lucky students,
living contrary to all rules of na
ture and of man.”
Fortunately that era is past.
College men and women are to
day a more intelligent, a more seri
ous-minded group, possessing a
new philosophy of liberalism, pro
gressiveness, and fine living.
In view of that change, “For
mal” was created to serve college
people, with a type of fiction of
particular interest to them. Each
month articles by nationally known
leaders to aid undergraduates in
selecting their work; sophisticated
humor of a satirical nature; ar
ticles on college life in foreign uni
versities ; glimpses of campus life
m American colleges; sketches of
fraternity and sorority origins and
personalities; reviews of books,
cinema, radio and fashions are to
be published in “The Formal.”
Not only is the magazine creat
ed primai'ily for students, but it
seeks to present the work of stu
dent writers. “Formal” offers to
its readers an opportunity for
gaining national prominence, as
writers of fiction, non-fiction,
poetry and prose.
“Formal, The College Magazine,
s published each month, excepting
'ugust and September, by the For-
pal Publishing Company, of New
York, with L. L. Laupheimer, pub-
’isher. Subscription rates are $2.00
for one year in the United States
nd possessions. Single copies
;ost twenty-five cents.
Student Chapel to
Have Open Forum
Announcement has been made by
President Grover that an Open
Forum will be held by and for th(
student body this year. This dis
cussion will be carried on once a
month as a regular chapel pro
gram with the student council m
charge, and everyone is urged to
contribute as much as possible
to its support.
Freshmen are especially urged
to give their ideas and suggestions
in regard to the campus life. Be
cause of the fact that they are new
students, they may notice fea
tures that have thus far been
overlooked.

Student Interest
Is Recognized
CONTEST ANNOUNCED
The Literary Society, reorganized
last spring, announces that it is
now conducting a contest for a new
name for the organization. The
society suggests that the names
submitted are not Greek letters,
since there are here a number of
societies with Greek names.
Those wishing to submit names
are asked to write their sugges
tions on a slip of paper, put their
own name on the reverse side, and
drop their entry in the boxes placed
in The Union and Burwell Hall. A
prize of one dollar is offered.
Class Elections
Held
College students of America are
today showing greater interest in
international affairs and prob
lems. One of the greatest proofs
of this academic interest is the
public recognition that the Foreign
Policy Association has this fall
made of student interest. For the
first time in the history of that
organization, which is renowned
and influential in all world af
fairs, plans are being made to ex
tend its facilities to college stu
dents.
As those who have participated
in the study of international rela
tions are aware, the F. P. A. is an
organization whose purpose it is
to make available to the American
public accurate, impartial and time
ly information regarding world
problems. Organized in 1918, with
national headquarters in New
York, it now has branches in 17
cities and its more than ten thou
sand members are distributed
throughout 48 States and 28 for
eign countries.
This past year the Association
has greatly extended its influence
and activities. Particularly note
worthy has been its publication,
with the World Peace Foundation,
jf Secretary Wallace’s provocative
pamphlet “America Must Choose,”
sales of which have reached nearly
100,000 copies. The F. P. A. has
also initiated a series of Foreign
Policy Committees, comprised of
distinguished men in public life,
whose reports have played an im
portant role in the shaping of
United States policy on interna
tional questions. A somewhat
similar service was performed this
summer for the Cuban Government
in the organization, at Cuba’s re-

The students of Queens-Chicora
College have shown much inter
est and enthusiasm in the plans
for the drive to be conducted by the
.American Organization of the
Needlework Guild. Mrs. Frank B.
Smith opened the campaign Tues
day with a plea to the college girls
to collect clothes for young people
in the “teen” age.
To become a member of the
Guild one must contribute at least
two new garments to the needy.
The Guild is celebrating its fif
tieth anniversary this year; there
fore the members wish to collect
and distribute more clothes than
ever before.
A division of the Guild was es
tablished at Queens-Chicora last
year. Dean Alma Edwards is sec
tional president, and her four ad
ditional directors at the college
are: Miss Ida Patrick, Mrs. War
ren H. Booker, Mrs. Maurice G.
Townsend, and Dr. Dorrisse Howe.
Each of the directors has ten other
members in her group, but there
is no limit to the number that may
join; however, there must be a
money member in each group.
All cash donations to the guild
go into a special shoe fund. There
is also a special case committee,
which investigates all cases that
are brought to its attention. A
supply of clothing is kept on hand
throughout the year for distribu
tion among these special cases.
Queens-Chicora had a large dis
play last year, and the directors
think there will be a great increase
in donations this year. Plans are
now being made to display the con
tributions in Burwell Hall next
Monday.
Bettie Wicker and Virginia Senn
were recently elected president
and vice-president, respectively, of
the Junior Class to replace Vir
ginia Gabriel and Molly Mullen,
who did not return to school this
fall. Officers of the class elected
last spring are: secretary, Mar
tha Ward, and treasurer, Louise
Holland.
Serving as president of the
Sophomore Class during the first
semester is to be Thorburn Lil-
lard. Elva Ann Ranson will be
vice-president, Elizabeth Maynard,
treasurer, and Dorothy Senn, sec
retary.
LOST AND FOUND
BUREAU
The Student Government is this
year arranging a definite depart
ment for Lost and Found articles,
under the direction of Frances
Smith.
Students are requested to report
articles lost or found to Frances
Smith, who will keep a list posted
on the Student Government Bulle
tin Board in Burwell Hall.
If an article found is not claimed
by the owner within two weeks the
Student Government will turn that
article over to the finder and
“finders will be keepers.”
Seventy Members
Initiated Into
Literary Societies
Seventy new members were in
itiated into the Literary Society at
its opening meeting last Tuesday.
The initiation service was held
in Pi Delta room in Burwell Hall.
After the ceremony, new members
were entertained at a delightful
tea in Gamma Sigma room which
was attractively decorated in a
color scheme of purple and gold.
Mis. Lyon, sponsor for the so
ciety, and Miss Harrell received
the guests which also included
faculty members and old classmen.
Those interested in the society
are most optimistic as to the de
velopment of the organization dur
ing the coming year.
The society, as a whole, is gov
erned by an executive council com
posed of the president, Mary Fran
ces Austelle; vice-president, Anne
Batten; secretary, Thorhorn Lil-
lard; and treasurer, Elva Anne
Ranson.
The society functions as four
groups, each of which is carried on
as a club. These groups are:
1. A Dramatic Group, led by
Peggy Mitchell, which will study
play production, and produce sev
eral plays during the year.
2. A Debating Group, led by
Jesse Pearson, which will study
principals of debating and will en
gage in inter-collegiate debating.
