HONOR EXAMINATION IS TRIED
Upper Classmen Attempt System Used
in Other Universities
In attempting to establish an hono.
system tradition for the senior and
junior classes, an experiment was
made in the mid-semester examination
of Prof. W. R. Humphreys' English
Bible class. The movement was orig-
inated by D. R. Ballentine, '16, and L.
C. Reimann, '16, who secured the per-
mission of Professor Humphreys and
(he approval of the class. The trial of
the s., _tem was entirely successful ac-
cording to the originators.
The plan used was that in vogue at
Princeton and the University of Vir-
ginia, in which the professor gives out
the examination questiois and leaves
the room. Violations are reported by
students to a student committee in
charge, which requests any man found
guilty to leave the university. At
Princeton there has never been a vio-
lation since the inauguration of the
system. Complete data has not yet
been secured from Virginia.
H. P. Burchell, ok t te ' sies, Tells
of Newspaper's Needs for
College Men
Not only instructive, but intensely
interesting to the last detail, is the
general verdict of the address deliv-
ered before nearly 200 students yes-
terday by H. P. Burchell. sport editor
of the New York Times. Mr. Burchell
sought to impress upon his audience
the fact that a new era was dawning
in the field of journalism, and es-
pecially in the sport department of
the modern metropolitan newspaper.
He and his contemporaries, said the
speaker, had struggled for nearly 33
years to bring the sports department
up to its present standing, and it was
the newspaper men and women of
the future who were to take advan-
tage of this opportunity thus afforded
them.
"The newspaper game," said Mr.
Burchell, "is one made up of many
elements. ' One finds a good reporter
here, a good executive man there, but
there are entirely too few of the well-
educated writers in the field. The
people are beginning to feel the lack
of men-of -this type as well as the
newspaper writer. It is the graduate
of the schools of journalism and the
universities who will be snatched up
by the editors of the future.
"Seventeen years ago sport' was
typified by the figure of John L. Sul-
livan and the professional baseball
team. But all that has changed, and
is continuing to change. More people
are interested in sport today than
there ever were. The typical Ameri-
can youngster knows more about the
various branches of modern sport
than did his father. The advent of
golf interested the older men in
sports; the automobile also did its
share 'in making ,people lovers of
good, clean sport of all kinds. Nora
must the activities of the colleges and
universities be overlooked in seeking
for the causes of this change.
"Some day someone is going to hit
upon the idea of taking the sports
page out of the daily newspaper, and
by publishing a daily devoted to sport
alone is going to make himself rich
and famous for all time. Another thing4
that deserves consideration is the im-
mense amount' of free advertising3
that all sports have been receiving
since there has been such a thing as
the sports page. Advertising has
practically made baseball, boxing,
wrestling, and, in fact all sports hav-
ing a gate. These should be made to
pay for that which they receive, and
which has become so valuable to
themthat they can not well do with-
out it. If a city like London can sup-
port two such publication, there is
good reason to believe that our larg-
er cities can support them.
"The work in the sports department
is easy, clean, and pleasant; the work-
er well remunerated for his labors.
Hle comes into contact with some of
the finest, best-natured people in the
world, and no matter where he goes,
it is always easy for him to get a
good story. The mistake that many a
young man makes is waiting about the
office for an assignment. Stories are
lying all about him, he only has to
look for them. The chief requisite of
success in the newspaper game, re-
gardless of department, -is speed.
Valuable as are all other consider-
ations, they count for nothing if th
news-gatherer is unable to work with
celerity. One must be on the job every
minute of the time, and doing things
every minute. A reporter without the
qualification of apeed, is like an auto-
mobile without a magneto.
The speaker went into the details
and inner workings of the metropoli-
tan newspaper, explaining the num-
ber of men on the sports staff, their
salaries, the duties of special corre-
spondent, how great sporting events
like the Jeffries-Johnson fight. were
handled, and concluded by answering
all questions which were asked by the
audience. Throughout his discourse
was enlivened by innumerable anec-
dotes gathered from his rich experi-
ences in all parts of the world. Above
all else Mr. Burchell dwelt upon the
fact that the time was coming which
would be rich in opportunities for the
college-bred man choosing journalism
as his life work.
LIBRARY RECEIVES CATALOGUE
SHOWING HISTORY OF ARMOR
There has recently been presented
to the university library by Madame
Stuyvesant of Paris, through Dr.
Bashford, dean of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, New York City, a very
handsome catalogue with the follow-
ing title: "The Collection of Arms
and Armor of Rutherford Stuyvesant,"
by Bashford Dean, printed privately,
1914.
The catalogue received by the li-
brary is the number 10 of 300 copies
printed for private distribution by
Madame Stuyvesant, the widow of the
famous collector, the cream of whose
collections is shown in this volume.c
The catalogue is very richly illustrat-:
ed and is particularly valuable as<
showing the history of arms. It in-
cludes swords and daggers as well ast
the earlier firearms. The volume is
handsomely bound in pig-skin.
Candy is always welcomed as ai

MISCHA ELMAN TO PRESENT
VARIED PROGRAM MONDAY
(Continued from Page Four)
November 6, said: "Elman played
with a soul on fire and swept the vast
audience beforehim. The exquisite
silky smoothness and sweetness of
tone fell upon the ear like a caress.
From start to finish his contributions
were pure unspeakable delight. It
was fluid electricity. He was on his
mettle every minute and he called on
his big voiced Stradivarius for all the
tone there was in it."
He will offer the following pro-
gram:
Concerto, E minor, Op. 64.......
Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)
Allegro molto appasionato;
Andante;
Allegro, molto vivace.
"Faust" Fantasy...............

"La Chasse" .. Fritz Kreisler (1875-)

..Nicolo Paganini (1782-1810)
Mr. Walter H. Golde, accompanist.
Among the compositions whose
charm is perennial, the "E" minor
violin Concerto, by Mendelssohn, oc-
cupies a prominent position. Since
its first performance by Ferdinand
David at a Gevandhaus Concert (Leip-
zig, March 13, 1845), it has maintained
itself as a work of prime importance.
In these modern days there are two
classes of concert goers who speak
of the composer and the work in a
patronizing way. The first class is
made up of those whose jaded musi-
cal appetites require more and yet
more highly seasoned food. The sec-
ond are those who having no extended
acquaintance with musical literature
can only be roused to enthusiasm by
works of a sensational and dazzling
type. Both classes need not be taken
very seriously. To return to the
work, it is violinistic, thanks to Dav-
id's critictism, while it was in the
making, and its melodic beauty, dis-
tinguished harmonic structure and
lucid form will always appeal to sane
music lovers. May their numbers in-
crease!
The "Faust" Fantasy is an admir-
able example of its genre, in which
the music of this favorite opera is
subjected to the treatments charac-
teristic of the form. Wieniawski was
such a master of his instrument that
he" succeeded in making the familiar
music sound as though it was written
io'r the purpose of exploiting its pos-
sibilities.
The "Call of the Plains" has been
heard by many poets and novelists
and it is not strange that a composer
should give musical utterance to its
message.
The composer of the second selec-
tion in the group of which the "Cali
of the Plains" is the initial number,
was professor of Fortifications in the
Military Academy of St. Petersburg
(or Petrograd if you choose). He be-
longs to an eminent group of Russian
composers, whose major activities

shapes
laid along scholastic lines.
"The Ave Maria" by Schubert is
one of the most beautiful melodies
of the master, and in the transcrip-
tion by the celebrated violin virtuoso,
August Wilhelmj, its beauty receives
added intensity.
Fritz Kreisler is so well known as
a great master of his instrument that
his creative ability is in danger of
being overlooked. That he possessed
great creative gifts has been known
by those who keep abreast of the
times, and will soon be as universally
acknowledged as his virtuosity.
The program finds a fitting conclusion
in a work by that erratic genius, Ni-
colo Paganini, whose phenomenal ca-
reer is well known to students of
musical history. The difficulties with
which his compositions bristle do not
appeal unless they are so masterly
that they do not appear to exist,
