"An edu cation," said the senior in reply, "ah education is is 'why, an education, is what we come to col lege .for." i..C;';i-M" v-. ':;u-:- ;; Judging . from what the others could ' tell him our hero was about to conclude . that education was nothing ; Yet, he argued, it mu be something; here are hundred of men spending good years and dol lars looking for it; somebody on the campus must have , found 'it lie decided to find out for himse'f what that rmy$teripus something was. Adopting the Baconian' me thod of .experimentation and k ob servation, he. studied the represen tative college men.' Naturally Jib camo; in-contact 1 with the thw; types of the college man the ath lete, the fraternity man, and tli'.- PhfBeta Ivappa man; He asked them; questions about what thev had studied in their courses, and received no answer ; be urged them to express an intelligent opinion on the war and the duty of the United Statss, and he urged in vain; he watched the bungling way in which they met the situations and failed to solve the problems of every" day life.1; Tic finally was forced to conclude that the ath lete's head was almost as empty as his football; that the fraternity man's head was ' Crammed, but with social sawdust only, and. that the Phi Beta Kappa man, having lost his note-book, knew nothing at all. What ! was the popular be lief then false ? , An education is not Varsity sweater, a f rat pin or a Phi Beta Kappa key ? Only too true. ; : By the same process he discover ed ; that an education " is not an A. B. or an A M. or a Ph. D. But the discovery that astonish ed him most was that the minds of the college students , were either dead or dormant. These men were fairly broad-minded. And they remembered a lot of facts about Physics and History. But they never thought of connecting them with life. They knew and . cared' little about national affairs ; they didn't even solve their own' daily problems , , intelligently. Their minds were dead to the world. One day he suddenly discovered what an education is. ' 1 He met an educated man. It was on the train. The man was sufficiently insignificant-looking to have been a , vice-president. v He did not even have piercing black eyes. But he had a live brain. .... Our hero suspected him of being either a genius or a drummer when the stranger: elucidated ;to him the Eleusinian mysteries of the railrpad time-table., , He real ized that he had met an extraordi nary man.: lie asked him the hard est questions about the war , and America's duty, questions .that he had blinded the professors with, but the TimeT able Solomon ans wered them like a Sunday edition of the !N"ew York times;7 Our Stu dent determined to blind him if he had to ride the train to the end of the line. ''He "next quizzed the man bri " the - English"; Renaissance; He was1 ' delighted to find ' out that he couldn't tell Lord' Burghleyr from Sir 1 Philip : Sidney if he were ' to meet them both in the smoking car. "Anybody v that ; knows ' nothing about the Renaissance must be a fool," said our, hero overjoyed!. But the man didn' t seem to realize what a fool he was. ' He kept on shame- essly ! asking questions .about the Renaissance until he knew as much about it as our herb could tell him; Arid he seemed so interested in it: that our student lent him his par allel-reading ' book ' that he had brought along. Wlien the. gentle man brought the book back a few days later he tried to blind him again; ' But he got caught. The stranger had learned ' more about the Renaissance in three days-than our hero had memorized in a year. He not only knew the history but he comprehended the spirit of the Elizabethan times ; he compared it with' that of the present and sug gested Elizabethan method and viewpoints that we ; might adopt with profit at present. "If he isn't an educated man now," thought ' the ' student there isn't but one thing that can keep him from being so shortly, -and that is an early death." And so it dawned upon our hero's foggy consciousness, the old, old commonplace that all know. and few realize, that the principal in- Mr. Henry Ford : will employ ex-convicts but will not employ men who smoke cigarettes. gredient, the living soul, the sine qua non of an education is not an A. B.j or even the whole alphabet but a live mind. t CAROLINA WILL PLAY HER PART "The University of North Caro lina has never failed its country in time of need," says the Char lotte Observer. "It would be far ther away from such failure at this time than ever. There is not going to be any such call upon its patriotism and its resources as was the case when the Civil War alarm was o : sounded, when f professors and students abandoned college for the : field and the University was closed, -but whatever, part ,the University; may be called .upon to play, it will play; it well and cheer fully; and, we might add, . thor oughly." And of (purse the part that the University plays, amounts, in the final reckoning, to the part : you and I play. ivnivm" tu-, , ' That ; : Carolina ' 1 ' men, -both alumni and students, are eager to serve the nation well and thor oughly has recently been clearly shown. And it will be more clear ly shown as time passes. Already a multitude $f alumni proffering their' services have answered the cards sent' out by Dr; Bullet,' act ing as an official of the 'Inter-collegiate Intelligence Bureau. Al ready betweeh foui andVfive huh dred students, .- have, voluntarily begun drilling. , , .The one danger is that, as the novelty -of the , thing , wears off, many of the students will lose in terest and quit. However, the en thusiasm of the men, the efficient management of Itr, Campbell and the probable coming, of- a U. S. Army Officer to take charge of the training, all tend to render that danger 'negligible. , : f ' ; ,( ; . . Every man here at Carolina should , realize that in taking this military, training he is not. play ing a little game to be enjoyed to day and neglected and forgotten tomorrow, but that he is doing a work which is an honor to the Uni- ilC.A TROUBLES nrA n lot one stays 'rpund a place yvhar thar's plenty o' good . 1 pipe smoke. 9$$0 VELVET is a good pipe smoke 3UZ versity and a worthy service to the state and nation. Many Classes Plannin trr Reunion This Year The classes which will hold re unions at commencement are : 1S57, 18G7, 1887, 1S92, 1897, 1902, 1907, 1912 and 1916. From these classes committees have been appointed . which are at "work on plans for making these reunions the biggest and most successful in the University's history. Within recent , years various classes have set high standards in the matter of class reunions. The class of ; 1902 which perhaps holds the record of all University classes in the percentage of ijs .members wno are .lawyers, nas naa two very successful , reunions , and, through a class bulletin issued regularly by R. A. Merritt, Secretary, has kept its members in touch with one'aho ther since graduation fifteen years aso. The class of 1909 at its five- year 'reunion in 1914 'came back with spirit and took possession of the campus for several days and of the athletic: field for the presenta tion of "stunts" on the afternoon of Alumni Day. l' The class ' of 1905 coming back in numbers to its tenyear ; reunion in iO 15 brought to Alma Mater a" gift of $1,000 ' which made hip the i fi"-ji gift to the Alumni Loyalty Fund, find was, in ! fact' the' inspiration for the starting of this fund. Th class of 1911 in' the preparation for its five-year reunion held last commencement ; and in 1 carrying through to a splendid conclusion a well-laid plan furnished the most striking instance in ; reunion his tory at Carolina. ! This class made provision early . for n securing a large attendance and for having n joyous time together on .the "Hill."
