What Grade
Education?
In the opinion of the Rev. Dr.
Charles L. O'Donnell, president
of Notre Dame University, the
chief problem confronting exist
ing educational organization in I
the United States is a correct
evaluation of the credit system
in academic work.
Regarding the , matter, Dr.
O'Donnell has made the follow
ing remark : "The credit system
is an obsesion on the under
graduate mind today. Students
are working by the credit clock.
I think it is up to the faculty to
create an interest in learning
for learning's sake ; the value of
knowledge itself, and some
standard on which a degree can
be given. It is a machine-like
thing, this credit system, but I
think a great professor can off
set the menace of credits."
Here is another prominent
man who has called attention to
an evil without giving any work
able solution. Dr. O'Donnell
merely stated in the interview
that abolition of the credit sys-
tern m universities would De a
difficult task. (Far be it from
the intention of the writer to
criticize Dr. O'Donnell for his !
failure to offer a solution to the
credit system problem ! We
merely feel that another critic
has gone his limit a limit which

"Your university is very dif
ferent from ours," said Dr. R.
C. Mills of the University of
Sydney, Australia, when we in
terviewed him. Dr. Mills is a
visiting professor sent to the
University by the division of in
tercourse and education of the
Carnegie Foundation of Inter
national Peace. This division
promotes good will between the
universities of different coun
tries by the interchange of pro
fessors. Dr. Mills continued: "The
University of Sydney is about
the size of the University here;
it has 3,000 students. We have
more girls than you do, and we
don't call them co-eds. That word
has no meaning for us. We call
them either women students or
girls, since 1381 women have
tumn, which is in March, and
follows the calendar year to De
cember. "What kind of commence
ment do you have?" we asked.
Dr. Mills replied that they call
it the "Conferring of Degrees."
It is a very formal function
which takes place in April, after
the academic year has begun. It
is held in Great Hall, a large
building" modeled after West
minister Abbey. There a pro
cession of all the staff in caps,
gowns, and hoods, the members
marching in ascending order of
superiority. Each candidate is
presented by the dean of his
Faculty to the Chancellor, who
is the head of the University.
The Chancellor confers the de
gree with some ceremony.

We believe, as does Dr. O'Don
nell, that grades and credits
constitute one of the greatest
problems of American higher
education. Time and again we
realize that high grades do not
mean success after leaving col
lege. The weakness of the credit
system is apparent, yet the solu
tion grows vaguer as we ponder
over the situation.
Granting that standards are
essential to any organization,
Dr. O'Donnell seems to be near
the solution to the problem of
grades and credits when he
says, "The great professor can
do hiost to eradicate the evil of
grades by emphasizing learning
for learning's sake." J. C. W.

A statue that reveals our
ideal of the perfect body of man
or woman arouses in me strange
surges of emotion. Perhaps it
is that ner and nobler quality
in each of us which, driven to
cover by the coarseness of our
daily life, quickly frees itself at
the sight of the beautiful.
There are four statues stand
ing in the library corridor that
are capable of arousing these
emotions m us. 'lney are cap

Come, and we shall see why.
Wa enter the library, walk
forward several paces, turn to
the left, and find ourselves con
fronted by Minerva, she of the
tall headgear. Before we can
start to admire her, we are
startled to find that she is
looking very sickly. In fact,
every inch of her is tinted a
hideous yellow, which evidently
appears to be the outcome of
years of neglect. To climax our
consternation, we also discover
that the last finger on her left
hand is mysteriously missing.
Continuing to the left, we
come upon Crouching Aphrodite
who is shown just emerging
from her bath. That is all very
well, but we had always thought
that a young girl just leaving
her bath would at. least be clean.
Aphrodite, we are sorry to see,
is not at all clean. On the con
trary, there are dirty spots all
over her. We leave her to her
bath with the observation that

whole we take our plays more

Reversing our steps, we come
across Apollo, who is standing
in a rather mutilated condition.
That is to say, two fingers of
his right, hand are exceedingly
conspicuous by their absence.
We are also pained to see that a
short iron rod is projecting
from each of his shoulders. He
is in urgent need of repair is our
last thought as we leave him for
the Venus de Milo who stands
unembarrassed a few paces
away.
Venus, we note, is also in a
sad condition. There are dozens
of indentations all over her body
that make us wonder if a piano
had ever fallen on her. We are
also horrified t(S see that some
perverted person has satisfied
his lascivious cravings by mu
tilation her with a pencil. As
we leave Venus there is in each
of us the thought that society
would be better off if the moron
with the pencil could be dispos
ed of by the state as other enem
ies of society are obliterated.
And so we leave these time

are willing to continue stirring
our finer senses if only they were

them?

Racing For Cakes
Brings Out Champions
A study of the results of cake
races staged in the past by the
Intramural ;department and
track coaches shows that sever
al champions have been dis
covered by this means. In fact
the University, long noted for
its champions in distance runs,
has utilized the cake race as the
chief means of discovering track
material.
Back when the first cake race
was run Harry Thach captured
first place. Harry later became
one of the best milers here and
turned in a 4:30 mile to climax
his running. Galen Elliott,
Minor Barkley ,and June Fish
er, three members of Carolina's
four mile relay championship
team, all began their careers on
the cinders by winning cake
races. There are others
finished up near the top
have won honors here.
With disheartening prospects
for future cross country and
distance runners Coach Ran
son will probably eye the cake
racers this year closely in an ef
fort to uncover new material.
While the winners aren't all go
ing to be world beaters, or even
make good trackmen the races
this year provide an, excellent
opportunity for some ambitious
runner to catch the eye of the
coach and get some valuable
personal instruction.
