THE REAL IDEA OF COLLEGE
How many in the outside world
:now university life as it really is?
f one were to get his idea of college
alone from stories, or more particular-
y from the motion picture how near
he actual truth would it be?
The ,moving picture college always
as a beautiful campus, through which
eantifully dressed girls walk with
aultlessly dressed men-the latter us-
ally In white trousers, dark coats,
nd straw hats. A college man's
oom, in a picture, is beautifully furn-
shed, with pennants from every other
ollege around the walls, and quanti-
lea of sofa pillows strewn about in
rtistic carelessness.
The short story college is exactly the
ame. It is a place full of romance,
vhere young people come to have a
:ood time, sing their college songs,
accompaned by the mandolin-was
here ever a college hero in a short
tory who gould not play the mando-
in?-and who generally enjoy them-
elves and have many reminiscences
o talk over in their later days.
There Is no doubt that this view of
iniversity life is widely held, and there
s equally no doubt that it does a
reat deal of harm. Parents think
hat four years of college, such as they,
ee, is a waste of time. It is perhaps
tl right for a rich man's son or
aughter, who can afford to have a
ood time, but for people who have
heir own way to make in the world,
,nd that as soon as possible, it would
ot do. They do not understand, nor
s it ever explained to them in plausi-
le form, that university training will
elp their children in their life work,
hat more than anything else it will
Ove them a foundation and Lack-
round for their future calling.
Why does not some author write of
ollege life as it really is? Why do not
he motion picture directors, who are
sually so particular as to their de-
ails, give a picture of the serious, the.
eal side of college? Has a lecture
oom, a laboratory, a library scene, or
ny other scene that shows the stu-
lent at his work, ever been reproduc-
d on the screen?
Thinking people have come to re-
:ard the college-trained student as the
Lighest type of citizen. Fiction writers
,nd play producers can do much to
urther the cause of the university by
ahn thir nnhul the rea1 idea of
WAS MICHIGAN INSULTED?
WRITER DECLARES
LA- TERN IS ONE
CRITICISM.
ATTITUDE OF
OF JEALOUS
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
The University of Michigan seems,
judging from the recent attack on her
good name, to be watched with an
eagle eye by the rest of the Conference
schools. The Ohio State Lantern did
more than merely to point out a de-
fect; it showed that Michigan was
watched, that every move was studied
in order to be taken advantage of and
to be made the most of.
Suppose the effect on the visitors at
Michigan was as described; is it good
policy for a sister institution to pub-
lish it broadcast, and with that pub-
lication to go on and praise herself?
The Lantern evidently had some mo-
tive when it deliberately and openly
accused its sister institution and then
at the same time boasted of her own
perfection. Some strong incentive
prompted that writer when he penned
those words. Was it jealousy? Mich-
igan, since her entrance into the Con-
ference, has many times defeated Ohio
States. These defeats could easily
intensify the spirit of rivalry between
the two campuses. Then, the first col-
lege paper to pass along the "boo-hoo"
was Illinois. Illinois was sorely dis-
appointed in the record of Michigan's
football team last fall. Later she was
sadly outclassed at Evanston. Might
not this also have a bearing on the
subject? Could not athletics also play
a prominent part in determining the
campus sentiment at Illinois?
If this is the reason and it is only
logical to suppose that friendly rivalry
existed between the schools, why
should any college paper send repre-
sentatives to another , institution to
look over and criticize conditions
there which at best are only of local
concern? No one from outside the
campus understands the condtions
here, and the Lantern did the good
name of Michigan a deep injustice in
stating what it did.
It can be demonstrated that the con-
ditions described do, not exist. Mich-
igan spirit reflects chivalry and re-
spectfulness, and does not embody un-
worthy ideals of idleness and street-
corner witticism. Michigan men are
marked in their degree by this spirit,
and its intensity is the determining
factor of the conduct of the campus.
The fact that Michigan was attacked
through such a small question makes
it appear that the Lantern was not
sincere. Perhaps it was not meant to
create the opinion it did of the good
name of Michigan; perhaps the Lan-
tern spoke without a thorough under-
standing of the subject.
At any gate, Michigan was, in plain
words, insulted. Let's go, Michigan!
Let's uphold the good name of our
campus and let no misstatements pass
unchallenged!

besides pure linseed oil and white lead.
The other things used in the making
of this good paint are called "balanc-

elasticity, strength and durability;
these are essential qualities in a paint
