It is not the first of its kind, nor will it be the last. The Yale fire has demonstrated only too well that no matter how advanced the intellect or how thorough the training, the crazing instinct of self-preservation asserts its blind force undeniably in the presence of a sudden and-unforeseen danger. Such a conclusion can lead to only one means of averting such sacrifice in the future. It is impera- tive that all public meeting centers be placed on an absolutely fire proof basis. MR. H. G. WELLS ABROAD Although we are always interested in foreign ce- lebrities who visit our shores, we may well be espe- cially interested at this time in a great writer who has the qualification and ability to give us an out- siders' impression of America. Mr. H. G. Wells, who is a special correspondent at the Disarmament Conference at the present time, and acknowledged as the best known writer in the world, recently voiced his opinion in the Chicago Tribune, of condi- tions as he sees them in this country. Contrasted against the dark shadow of European misery our condition appears to him as a golden fortune. He remarks with sordid sincerity that even in this land of festivities and plenty he cannot forget the terrible cry of stricken Europe. Citing as an example the "inordinate feast" of Thanksgiving: day, he thinks we do not know what real suffering and hard problems are, that we are so well estab- lished in our habits that we have become immune to the realities of others. Further, he points out that the world of American interest now is the whole round world, but doubts if America really under- stands the scale and urgency of the present situa- tion. In speaking of the conference in Washington he said, "It has not touched more than the outer threads of the writhing international tangle that has to be dealt with if European civilization is to be saved." If we are willing, Mr. Wells believes, we can reinstate Europe and turn back the decline be- cause of our strong position among the nations of the world. And then after stating that we are in a position where. we can demand and inforce peace, he asks the question, WILL we do it now, or will we let the opportunity pass from us never to re- turn. No other writer is in a better qualified position to know and state in general terms what is happening in the world, and we as host to such a man can profitably take into account his impression of us. Whether we agree or not with the man or his opin- ions is not the question, but what others think of us, especially in this case, is worthy of consider- ation.

Bernard Butler ABOLISH THE RULE A rule is effective or necessary only as long as the purpose for which it was originally intended re- mains unfulfilled. When the time arrives, how- ever, when the rule should be withdrawn, because it no longer accomplishes any purpose, those who prompted its passage should have it done away with. For years past an athletic by-law has been observed by all Conference institutions, which de- clares that not more than 35 men may be sent by any school to a football game away from home. In this number are included the entire Varsity squad, substitutes, coaches, assistants and manager. This rule has been adhered to sufficiently long. When the Conference officials meet to draw up the schedules for next year they should give this mat- ter the consideration it deserves, and take measures for its abolition or modification. Originally, it was made effective because it was found that not all of the Big Ten teams were financially in a position to send their freshman teams or cheerleaders along with the Varsity, and in order not to embarrass the few who were thus situited, all of the Conference teams, with no exceptions, were made to abide by this ruling. It has been found, however, that the regulation only serves as a handicap to the athletic interests of the larger institutions, for, while the treasuries may be filled, the only method by which the freshman team and cheerleaders can be sent is by personal solicitation from the student bodies. The by-law has not prevented the universities from sending more than 35 men; it has only made send- ing them more inconvenient for students. It is a known fact that college football games are at the height of their popularity, making not only for an increased interest in the sport, but also bringing in larger financial returns than ever be- fore. Conference officials would not only aid in maintaining the general interest in this branch of athletics by eliminating this rule from their legal code, but would also make for a standardization of athletic systems between the East and West. HUMAN NATURE AGAIN AT VAULT Three bodies have been recovered and 150 in- juries treated as the reault of a mad rush of college students recently to escape from a burning theater at Yale university. Had the audience retained its self-possession and marched out in orderly fashion the casualty list would undoubtedly have told a less tragic story. But the university student, with his higher education and superior 'intellect, completely lost control of himself; he rushed over the heads of his friends, trampling them beneath; he jumped from the balconies to the main floor regardless of the crowds below ; and in the presence of danger his wits forsook him, leaving only a frantic and unrea- soning desire to escape. No students were killed. They were young and agile, and at the worst showed only injuries as a result of the grand melee. The fatalities occurred among elderly people in the theater, individuals powerless to resist the force around them; victims not of the fire but of the insane mass.
