to the needs of the hour. With each change that
has been made has come a greater usefulness until
our Michigan literary college is one of the foremost
and leading units of this University center.
The literary college means business. It is busi-
nesslike, and serves as the trainig-ground for busi-
ness men and women. The hue and cry against
the eternal humanities no longer strikes a vital
spot when aimed at this school. The critics would
do well to bring their views- up to date. That day is
long past when the literary college could be accused
of preparing students for lives of uselessness.
THE "W' G. N." EXCUSES ITSELF
The Chicago Tribune has been conducting a new
subscription-raising campaign, which it calls its
"lucky name horoscope contest", and, in last Sun-
day's issue, devoted nearly two columns of editorial
space to a rather wandering attempt to justify itself
in the publishing of such non-essential matter. The,
editorial comment may be taken as an apology.
The editors of the Tribune deny that their latest
campaign was inaugurated solely for the purpose of
increasing their subscription lists. "The horoscope
contest," they say, ."will add some circulation, but
the Tribune has almost reached the point of satura-
tion in its territory, and desire for more circulation
was not the only reason - nor the main reason -
for the horoscope contest. An equal reason was to
develop a new interest for the readers of the pa-
per." Yet it was not so many months ago that the
Tribune spread a would-be beauty contest all over
its pages,.and kept up the campaign for weeks, while
its subscription figures jumped sky high. Further-
more, the Tribune regularly displays in a prominent
position on the front page the fluctuations, usually
upward, in the numbed of subscribers, and in every
issue emphasizes the fact that its daily circulation
is close on to 500,000, while its Sunday lists are,
gradually approaching the million mark.
The Tribune has not reached the point of satura-
tion in its territory, for its territory is growing and
expanding constantly. It simply realizes that its
campaigns for more subscribers have become dis-
tasteful to its more thoughtful readers, and seeks
to justify its action.
If the Tribune means to continue in its present
path, it had best look to its laurels. It has been
cluttering up its pages more and more of late with'
much extraneous matter, with picture pages, so-
called "popular science" yarns, and much stuff that
certainly is not news and that is not calculated to
raise the ideals of the paer but merely to sell the
sheet. Its recent 'policies have become a source of
disappdintment to many readers who, in the past,
have looked to the Tribune for the best in news and
editorial comment, and who appreciate high ideals-
and freedom from the grip of the magnetic dollar
. mark on the part of any newspaper.
"The World's Greatest Newspaper" is the Trib-
une's name for itself. But the "W. G. N." has
set a standard which is more than difficult to main-
tain. It may gain in circulation; but already the
Tribune is fast losing much of the respect in which
it was formerly held by lovers of high ideals and
comparative cocnservatism, and, unless they expect
it to be very quickly outclassed in point of quality,.
its editors might do well to forget Hearst methods
and the almighty cash drawer for a time, and en-
deavor to effect a return to somae of the sensible
policies that gave their sheet so much of its excel-
lence before the war.

ANOTHER LAP
Much could be said by way of siggestion during
ese first few days of the new semester, but, after
, th'e sum and substance of all advice to the aver-
e. stuldenit might be biled down, into a short
eatise on the subject of procrastinationm We uti-
rgraduates are far too much inclined to put things
F until the last minute. The senior, who has plan-
d on taking some especially desirable, though
rhaps difficult, courses 'before his graduation,
alizes the folly of procrastination when he scans
rough the University catalog and sees all he, has
issed; the freshman, sophomore or junior, who
ds himself suddenly "bounced" into the cold, wide
>rld without a college home, appreciates too late
e value of system,; and the gay young "Billie To-
:rrow", who makes promises to himself but never
dfills them, and who tries to get along with neither
hedule nor definite aim, is playing with a boom-
ang.
"Do it now" is a good slogan for the college stu-
nt, be he real or imitation. What we folks need
a schedule of work that we will lie up to. +'This
not January first, but it is a good time to make
:w resolutions. And it might be well for us to re-
ember, incidentally, that this is a University, not
public playground.y
FLAG-WAVING FOR THE LITS
Professional men everywhere, and at Michigan
particular, take :frequent occasion to express
eir views with regard. to the liberal arts college..
heir remarks range from the mildly commenda-
y to the openly derogatory. type. -'Of late, the
tter have predominated and pointed comments
tve been made. There should be no occasion for
is. ~,i
The habit originated in the old days when it was
tstomary for literary students to saturate 'them-
gves with Latin and Greek to no definite purpose,
d when their chief concern in. life seemed to be
make themselves as human as possible with a
inimum of effort. The slings and arrows of the
itrageous fortune tellers have harried this type
student and driven him from the field of ac--
n. The literary college of the present day is an
stitution equipped and administered for a number
'very definite purposes. It is the.mother of sev-
al new, distinct and highly important professions-.
Business administration is a favorite course and

jed public accountants receive their training in.
is school. Graduates are equipped for the most
:acting work in the insurance business. Now, as
ways, the profession of letters has its origin here.
ty managers are trained and sent out to meet the
'er increasing demand throughout the country. In
word, the liberal arts college has adapted itself
the changing conditions and has made a corre-
onding progress which a professional school, from
very nature, could not make.
But its flexibility is not an indication of fickle-
SS. It only shows' that; because of the vast range
subects in this school, the courses are adaptable

O T\HERS SAY:
NOT THAT WAY AT ANN ARBOR
(Detroit Free Press)
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, of Col-
unibia university, remarks that "the
modern college is a high class coun-
try club," and Professor E. G. Sib-
ler, ,of New York university, apparent-
ly taking Dr. Biler's statement as a
text, asserts that "enjoyment of lux-
ury and ease for four years and a lit-
tle study on the side constitute satis-
factory fulfilment ot requirement of
a' college degree nowadays." He de-
clares that industry and hard study
are no longer a part of a college man's
life with the present system of elec-
tive or "honey" courses, that college
authorities throughout the country
shculd get together and set a strict
entrance requirement. He adds the
rather broad statement that "the av-
erage student - or rather peanut -
pends his time smoking cigarettes and
wasting his father'. money, and his
time.
We might ask parenthetically why
Sibler goes out of his way to insult
the students whosc confidence he is
supposed to gain and whom he is sup-
posed to lead into correct ways, when
at the same time he practically admits
that the fault, where there is a fault,
lies with those who manage the col-
leges and make up the curricula.
However, the point that strikes us
particularly is, that according to the
Butler definition and the Sibler ex-
position, the University fA Michigan
is not a modern college. At certainly
is no "high class country clu o" for a
considerable proportion of Che stu-
dents are industriously' working their
way through in order to get an educa-
tion, and those who matriculate under
the mistaken idea that they are in Ann
Arbor merely to have a good time le:ve
at an early date-by invitation. What-
ever may be the condition at Columb
and New York unieorsities. and the
spokesmen for those institutions
doubtless know their own sorrowsI
"enjoyment of luxury and ease r
four years, and a little study on t ie
side," certainly 1o not constitute sat-
isfactory fulfillment of requirement
for any sort of a degree at-the U'niver-
sity of Michigan except a G. B. degree,
usually conferred sometime in, the
course of the first semester.,

To see old McCheese sans his ration of beer.

But call on McCheese in his splendid new home
And you'll find his cellar as dry as a bone.
You may signal, laugh, whisper, wink, chuckle or

In his well equipped basement he spends most the

The neighbors declare he drinks early and late,
Then staggers around with his load of wet freight.'
