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.

Betron 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.

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 ns out each year well-equipped executives. Cer- 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 DETROIT UNITED L NES Ann Arbor and Jackson .

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.
