They permit their pro- fessors to do all of the brain work and they sit passively in their seats and swallow predigested knowledge in reg- ular doses. There is no value in a college course in which the student does not think for ""TY PEWRhITERS ' TYPEWRITING AND SHORTIA D MIMEOGRAPHINC "Eerything for the Typewriter' O. D.

C. and the University of Michigan as follows:j "One is the college of democracy, the other of aristocracy; shirt sleeve and dress suit environment respectively." We are inclined to think the Free Press has written without investigat- ing. Apparently this statement isvtrue. The social functions of the University are more elaborate, the athletic con- tests in which we indplge' are of greater magnitude, and the other ex- tra-curriculum activities of the Michi- gan student body are more pretenti- ous. This much we admit. Yet in East Lansing there are also social functions, athletic contests and extra- curriculum activities the sai as here. The difference is one of degree and not of kind. It was this difference that the Free Press had in mind. Yet there can be, and is such a dif- ference, without warranting the state- ment that Michigan is more extrava- gent, and more given to frivolities. According to the latest issue of the World AlmanacCthere are 1,481 stud- ents at M. A. C. as against 6,857 at1 Michigan. This means that the Ann Arbor institution is better than four and six-tenths times larger than her sister college. For the same reason social functions, football games and glee club concerts are four times larg-E er in Ann Arbor than they are int Lansing. More persons take part inl them, they receive more publicity and more money is expended on them (but not pro rata), yet this does not mean that we are more extravagant The different is one of degree, based on a difference in size, but not one of kind. himself. *What of real worth is there in echoing lectures, textbooks, in being a carbon copy of a member of the fac- ulty? A professor complained the other day that his examination papers were hor- rible examples of attempts to memor- ize his lectures and thereby receive good grades. He claimed that with but three or four exceptions there: was not an original thinker in his class, that his words were merely swallowed and mechanically transmitted upon examination tablets. This is the fault of college students today. Their education is emptied into .a barrel and tapped at various inter- vals. It is not knowledge, but the power to think, which knowledge should cre- ate, that is valuable, that should be emphasized. PLANS 01? NEW Y. M. C.. A.

"A Student's Interpretation of University Life," by H. B. Teegarden,' 17, forms another of the interesting features of this month's issue. A picture of H. L. Smith, '16, and George Labadie, '16, is one of the fea- tures of the athletic section which is edited by T. Hawley Tapping and con- tains an interesting prospectus of the baseball season.
