Meeting of editorial and reportorial
staffs today at 1 p. m. lembers and

That Reserve List.
We are always pleased when we
learn that some department in the
university is having an influence in
practical life. We are particularly
pleased to find that our department of
philosophy is extending its influence
outside the classroom, and that' the
ethical doctrines there promulgated
are being put into practice in every
day life. We had often heard it an-
nounced in Philosophy 1, that the de-
partment in which we are being pre-
sented three hour's credit was "quite
some" department as far as influence
went, but we never clearly realized
just how all-pervading this influence
was, until we witnessed the effect of
the Categorical Imperative on the uni-
the idle would be stimulated to indus-
try, and stumbling blocks would be
removed from the road of those who
are already overburdened with work,
thus bringing about a state of affairs
which would redound greatly to the
credit of our university and have the
best results for the moral well-being
of the students.

Designers of
In the first place, the department of
philosophy never lapses from the log-
ical. But we feel quite certain that
even the sweep of the Hegelian dialer-
tic would never be able to reconcile
such contradictions as are manifested
by putting Boccaccio's stupid and
comparatively harmless "Decameron"
and the valuable scientific works of
Havelock Ellis under lock and key,
while Rabelais, the "Heptameron" of
Margaret of Navarre, and the works
of Crebillon are permitted to run at
large without even so much as a muz-
zle or a collar and tag.
Moreover, so far as we have been
able to discover in listening to the
discourses of the philosophers, more
good could probably be accomplished
in other ways by keeping away from
us the vulgarities which we have to
allow for in writers whose standards
of conventional morality are not the
same as ours. We would suggest that
it might be a good idea to permit the
books which have a real literary or
scientific value to be accessible to
those who wish to profit by them,
while it would be a happy stroke of
genius to put the works of Richard
Harding Davis, and others of his
school, under lock and key so that the
less frantic seekers for knowledge
would have to get out and ,hustle for
permission to read them., In this way
