It is part of the creative task of vital religion to noint out great aims and high ideals cen turies in advance of their popu lar acceptance. Accordingly, it is the task of religious persons to strive to exhibit these aims and ideals in their lives, refus ing to yield to opportunism and court popular approval -.. Moreover, it is the task of re-; ligious teachers . and leaders to keep these ideals undiluted and unaccommodated.

Dr. Graham's faith in the student's ability to govern themselves, f ' STUDENT INDICTMENT J ; -- Despite) the' fact that the suspended student's indictment against various students and members of the faculty has been withdrawn, it seems that the charges which he made must be in vestigated. Apparently upset by his suspension, this gentleman included just about everybody in his acquaintance on the list, making char , ges of subsidization, dissolute conduct, drunkenness and cheating, one after another. That he withdrew the bill before leaving school is unfortunate, as such charges, however flimsy, should be pressed and substantiated by the man who makes them. The administration, of course, is forced to bring those accus ed in the indictment before its executives for a hearing. A dis agreeable note naturally surrounds the whole thing, since the in dictment was obviously the result of momentary resentment. Just as other evidence inferred from the recent hearings must be traced down to clear up that situation, so must this in dictment be answered as soon as much of the present work is ended. PIACEMENT BUREAU Two important issues, involving a change in our present sys tem of administering comprehensive examinations and the estab lishment of a placement bureau, must be pressed in the weeks to come. . - Seniors in the commerce school have already made plans for the formation of some sort of student employment agency, and other students have been working on the idea for several months.
