AN ARTS SCHOOL PROMISED
The announcement that courses pre
paratory to tne establishment of a
School of Fine Arts as' a part of the
University bf ings to public attention
plans that, when consummated, will
fill a long-felt need.
Art, and the appreciation of art.
has foregone thorough neglect in the
south since the Civil War. Impov
erished colleges and universities were
hardly able to survive the economical
setback m the period -of financial
strife following the close of .the war
In consequence, only courses that nec
essarily prepared for a. profession or
a vocation were offered in the south
ern institutions for many years. Now
the conditions are chaneed. Follow
ing the economical progress and the
intellectual awakening in the states
below the Mason and ' Dixon line,
southern institutions have begun to
turn to cultural curricula to meet
the steady and increasing demand for
training in the arts. ,
It is desirable that the University
will not be long in establishing the
School of Fine Arts. Aside from of
fering " instruction in architecture,
sculpture and painting, there is an
other far greater need for an art
school here. This is the statement of
Dr. J. P. Harland who has been se
cured to direct the work of the em
bryonic arts school: .
"Other branches of the University
are teaching . the history, economics
and politics of people from first civ
ilization t6 the present and it will be
the aim of these courses to "teach; the
art of these people as just another
factor- in their life. So many "peo
ple have the notion that "art", is
something done by a queer individual
stuck away in a studio somewhere.
We hope to create a different feel
ing about it." . - ; ' "' '
If the School of , Fine Arts -of the
University succeeds in doing gust this;
namely, teaching the people of the
state to appreciate art and the finer
things in life the school will be a
notable success!
DR. DURANT AND OTHERS
Will Durant's appearance here last
-night in his lecture on "Is Progress
a Delusion?" brought to the Univer-
sity community an outstanding phil
osopher and author of the day. The
faculty committee on lectures is to
be congratulated and commended for
their securance of Dr. Durant to lec
ture here.
The fame of the lecture-of last
evening is well Icnown. Hi3 The Story
! of Philosophy brought him immediate
recognition and made him highly de
sirable as a lecturer. "
The bringing of a lecturer here of
Dr. Durant's prestige and achieve
ments presages a year of excellent
and stimulating lectures by men hav
ing reputations as being outstanding
in the particular field which they come
to treat. Lectures by such leaders
are an integral part of the year's
program of the institution. In the
past the faculty lecture committee has
had many famous men here to give
public lectures , that stood out. fnr
their depth of thought, deliverance
and reception by the audience. . -
It is to be hoped that more men of
Dr. Durant's intellectual size will be
scheduled to lecture here during the
year. . ;
DO YOU NEED A TONIC?-
(D.D. C.)
The editor has made two references
to the unsightly path which some stu
dents are ' making across the centra
campus.
; Consequently, many who had care-
lessly patronized this lazy man's walk
have ceased -to." offend. 5 To them . we
extend . our heartiest thanks. But
there remains a chronic wrecking
crew whose dronish steps continue to
deface a 'formerly beautiful expanse
of grass. Perhaps they failed to see
the preceding editorials: may thev
be so indulgent as to read this.
This is our University. Our fath
ers are maintaining it for us now, and
on us. that duty must devolve, directly
later. The institution does not be
long to the faculty, which is employ
ed. It certainlyv is no possession of
the townpeople. This University be
longs to the State of North Carolina,
and we are her nearest representa
tives. Now, "we" ; doesn't mean the
Tar Heel. "We" signifies von.
We have called this school a unir
versity. Yet, those who show so lit
tle regard for the dignity of its ap
pearance do nothing less than make a
college of it. At Wake Forest manv
slovenly paths mar the campus; no
doubt the authorities there bemoan
these eyesores. .Still, they are more
excusable at a small college than at
a university where supposedly matur
es minds congregate.: Years ago this
institution, small and less - scholarly,
suffered broken windows, devastated
furniture, and a medley of barbarisms
incident to its cruder life. But shall
we return to the category of a col
lege today? -
.Surely not when scores of visitors
every year comment on the serene
beauty of the place. We now have a
reputation to maintain. One well-
traveled aesthete recently declared this
campus the fairest in the South. Yot
its plodding sons would trample un
der foot the hundreds of dollars wise
ly spent every-year for cultivation" of
grounds.
North Carolinians are justlv ac
cused of crass materialism. Why,

once, in a month or so. This infr:
quent practice is unharmful and con
sistent with logic. But the worst. H
age is caused by a regular trek along
patns which are very little shorter
than those provided alreadv.
' An informal census taken Saturday
wiows tnat most grass offenders are
new men. With them we must be
lenient. However, the class of 'ai
should have more Worthy contribu
tions to make than the "destruction of
grass. . . We are gratified to see 'that
few upperclassmen are guilty of the
misdemeanor. There may be some

for there is a policeman to enforce
it. However, those who bullv the
grass are cowardlv. for th

WANTED: LONGER HEADS AND
SHORTER SERMONS
: ; (d.d.c.)
A reliable church conference secre
tary has officially reported that the
Protestant churches of America are
losing members at the rate of 500,000
a year.
We are reminded of one lament
able shortcoming among clergymen.
Compelled to capitulate more and more
to m6dern thought, they yet Jack the
grace with which to accent a scien
tific era, and deign not to aid man in
his task of -wringins: benefits from
his new learning.
The scapegraces of the ministrv in
herit the vices of mundane civiliza-
, in ius must 1115-
tmgmshed sons, in bequeathing lit
tle actual aid to human enlight
enment, are , more reprehensible.
How dare they preach of hidden tal
ents?
The Church has been too long on
its knees. What does history present
as the pulpit's policy toward popu
lar education, aggressive reform in
politics or anything, slavery, inno
vations in religion, and other pro
gressive measures? The priest clings
to his mumpsimus
Churchmen have had their heads
in the clouds, ruminating on a life
hereafter with -retributive justice;
meanwhile men living beside them
have needed and deserved intelligent,
sympathetic attention. Fosdick, kind
ly if not scientifically, has mollified
the throes of evolution in this country
as has an alert North Carolina
churchman. But -what of leadership
from the pulpit in such matters as
vivisection, birth control, capital pun
ishment? .
Churches can no longer offer their
social prominence as an example of
their value to communities. The effi
cacy of their social decoys has been
jeopardized by theatres, amusement
parks, radios, etc. But if denomin
ationalism is to survive, it must, in
the words of an eminent biologist, be
come ethnocentric rather than ego
centric. Despite our mysticism, man
is the measure of all things. -
Churches are here to stay, certainly
for many years. "But if we are to
appreciate them; 1 let us understand
them. Is it worthwhile to revere the
present institutions which have lost
their "socializing" value, and which
contribute so little directly to the so

lution of great human problems?
, True, they dry the widow's tears
and comfort the seduced working girl,
if that patent character can be said
to - exist.-But is this sentimental
function necessary or even desirable
to a stalwart civilization? And what
of those charlatans who actually harm
us, these Hams, John Roach Stratons,
and Frank Norrises?
The writer, neither expects nor wish
es the clergymen en masse to plunge
into community administration. The
intelligence and sincerity of the pro
fession are too questionable; we might
better enfranchise high school stu
dents. The - same could be said for
almost any other single profession.
But we dp think that the few national
or international, church leaders, ' who
surely perceive that their less en
lightened, subordinates are in danger
of retarding progress with their anti
evolution, anti-birth-control, and oth
er hoop-skirt movements, should bind
themselves in a more forceful- and
public-spirited hierarchy.- ;
If there be any prophets amone- ex
alted church officials, can they not
nnd fields more worthy than acadpm-
ic philosophizing or social censor
ship? The beam is in their own eye.
