Practicing What
We Profess
Despite the numerous treat
ies, conventions, and peace .move
ments that followed in the wake
of the Great War we do not
seem far today from another
similar upheaval. The World
War was a catastrophe not only

brought it about. Conditions
were changed, but the resulting
ones seem as provocative to

Had the idealistic principles of
Wilson been effected the results
might well have been more en
couraging. Many of them were
impractical, but an attempt to

peace. '

back up the emasculation of
Germany upon which France

The factors that 20 to make uo

peace is the refinement of man's
character. When we have reach

the religions we profess we will
have peace. Until then we prob

The Order Changeth:
Yielding to What?
The recent visit to the campus
cf Norman Thomas, Socialist
leader, and the close attention
given him by a large number of
faculty members and students
are only additional indications
of an easily recognizable and
important trend! in American
life today. Capitalism of the
old time, competitive, uncontrol
led sort is, for better or worse,
decidedly' on the defensive. Dur
ing the prosperous twenties.
quite gone now, hostility to the
present system was confined
largely to intellectual and ex
tremist labor circles. Now that
the hard, lean years have come
upon us, unfriendly and destruc
tive criticism is everywhere pre
valent, and even such captains
of industry as Owen. D. Young
pubiicly confess a conciliatory
and reaS0nable spirit toward the
idea of h
ine tendency, to repeat, is
easily recognizable ; what will
come of it, if anything, is more
difficult to determine. Probab
ly only through governmental
action can changes in the econ
omic field be readily and thor
oughly effected and legally se
cured, and the conservatism of
the American people in affairs
political is well known. Third
parties have repeatedly come to
fl
tne lure, aim as i epea teuiy xiave
failed completely. The Progres
sive leader, Senator George Nor

Hero Worship and
The College Athlete
I .
why does an athlete hold a
position of higher esteem an:
admiration on the average uni
verity campus than the sue
cessful student? If you were to
glance through the pages of any
college newspaper, you would
see the names of the athlete
lauded, while the names of the
to peace is human nature
manner are lacking.
Perhaps it all goes back to our
ancestors of long ago, when the
man with the strongest arm
was the man to whom everyone
ooked for guidance and protec
tion, isut did it ever strike the
reader that without a shadow
of doubt, the man without the
arms of steel was the man who
did the actual thinking for his
tribe? It is this weak-muscled
man who with his well trained
mind thought oul the improve
ments which made his tribe out
standing among the eonglom
eration of tribes.
Without a shadow of doubt,
recognition for prowess in the
field of athletics should be at
tributed to those who deserve
it, but likewise a similar recog
nition should be granted to the
student who excells in his stud
ies. Another reason why an ath
ete should be lauded over the
student as far as public opinion
is concerned, is because the field
of athletics gives more room
for spectacular demonstrations
of -ability. The hero of the col-
ege football game, who saves
the game in the fading seconds
of the last quarter is no more
due credit than the honor-student
who maintains the scholar ¬
ship of his university in the fin
al days of the school term.
It is infinitely more human for
the average college student to
indulge in a minor form of idol
worship. For some unaccount
able reason the student who has
a bit of idol worship to waste,
always spends it on the hero of
the college football, baseball,
basketball, etc., game.
In the days of the future,
when the full recognition of
mental ability will be srained.
then will the student feel him
self on the par of the college
athlete. There is one fact that
cannot be denied, however, if
a student possessing numerous
brains wants to make the bes
of his college career, and enjoy
life afterwards, he must keep
himself, in some manner or
form, in a certain degree of
health; all of which brings us
back to the athlete the dream
of every college boy E. J.

Ah exhibition to commemorate
the birth of Lewis Carrol
(Charles Lutwidge Dodgson)
took place recently at Columbia
University. A public, delighted
in its infancy by the adventures
of Alice, had the opportunity of
ooking upon the first edition of
The Condensation of Determin
ants, Being a New and Brief
Method for Competing Their
Arithmetical Values. Other books
of a mathematical nature, let-
ers to friends, Christmas and
Easter greetings, games and
puzzles invented by the author-
mathematician, and a certain
'biting criticism in a humorous
vein of the hideous belfry of
Christ church which has since
been removed," have all been
duly arranged and catalogued.
(The catalogue is published by
Columbia University Press.)
Were it not for a time honored
expedition up the river to God-
stow with the three Liddells,"
this would never have occurred.
The afternoon was a lazy one,
too hot for strenuous games, the
children flopped on the grassy
bank and demanded a story. "I
distinctly remember," Carrol ex
plained in T&e Theatre for April,
1887, "how in a desperate at
tempt to strike out some new
ine of fairy-lore, I had sent my
heroine straight down the rab
bit hole, to begin with, without
the least raa what was to hap
pen afterwards." Later he
wrote out and elaborated the tale
he told at teatime on that casual
afternoon. Christmas . morning
Alice Liddell found among her
presents the manuscript of
Alice's adventures underground.
This manuscript now owned by
Eldridge R. Johnson is the high
spot of the Columbia exhibition.
The first edition, title changed
to Alice's Adventures in Won
derland, published by the Mac-
Millan Company of London in
1865 with illustrations by John
Tenniel is item No. 2. Owen D.
Young, from his collection con
tributed eighteen original draw
ings in pencil on white paper and
signed by Tenniel. We would
join in the Young-for-President
boom if we knew that he would
(a) hang the drawings in the
Wnite House, (b) send us a bid
to his first Presidential reception
in said White House.

SPEAKING
the
CAMPUS MIND
Mystery
It seems a curious circumstance that
the Buccaneer is included in each of
the reading recommendations for te
three types of freshman readers, yet
th8 Carolina Magazine is left com
pletely out!
Maybe the type-setter, was careless
or the reporter misinformed, or per
haps my eyes deceive me. Neverthe
less, the write-up in The Daily Tar
Heel plainly indicates that the well
read freshman, the average freshman,.
nd the little-read freshman should
all peruse the Buccaneer regularly.
(Time must feel proud to have such
an associate!) According to The
Daily Tar Heel Drs. A. P. Hudson
and R. W. Adams and Messrs. Sensa
baugh, Blount, Stokes, and Bagwell
were the committee which made the
recommendations. Surely a group
composed of such learned minds did
not intend to so elevate the character
of the Buccaneer and slight the Caro
lina Magazine.
What, then, has happened that the
campus comic (?) should suddenly ac
quire this unmerited literary prestige?
Was there a member of its staff on
the recommending group? Who can
explain the mysterious absence of the
Carolina Magazine 1 W.P.
Virility
At Yale
Our ever-interesting contem
porary, the Yale .Daily News,
has recently advanced the Fresh
man English thesis that "foot
ball is life." It is, to the edit
ors, "a long grind, a systematic
elimination, and a final realiza
tion that all that glitters is not
gold." On the other hand they
say that football is absolutely
necessary to the virility and
successful existence of their
venerable institution. If Yale
should ever become more inter
ested in scholarship (fie, fie), its
fair name would quickly ' be
come clouded by the influx of
"idle rich and esthetes."
This rather violent emphasis is
fast gaining credence in colleges
all over the country. More and
