EDITORIAL COMMENT
WHAT CONSTITUTES A LEADERT
(Cornell Daily Sun)
That ability and leadership do not
always go hand in hand with per-
fection in scholastic endeavor has
again been substantiated. The an-
nouncement of the "leading students"
in the University of Chicago, with the
omission of nearly two hundred "hon-
or" students, while a distinct shock
to many, is but indicative of the mod-
ern trend of thought. With all due
respect to the members of Phi Beta
Kappa, and similar organizations, bas-
ed on proficiency in the field of know- ,
ledge, it is obvious that intellectual
achievement alone does not consti- j
tute success. As Dean Wilkins, ofI
the western institution stated, "a lead-
ing student is one who possesses manyj
qualities which promise growth and
I attainment in leadership?" Just as an
all-round athlete is more advanced
than one who has developed ability
in a single sport, so a student with
many qualities for leadership is great-
er than one who has but received high
marks in his studies.
Too often the student who sacrifices
some of his time on books for extra-

A JUST INTERPRETATION
President Coolidge upheld the spir-
it of the law when, by his recent. pro-
clamation, he restored citizenship to
all men who deserted from.the army
and navy during the three year per-
iod between the, armistice and the
formal ending of the World wax.-
The law is a just one which re-
quires that any man who shall desert
when the nation is ,at. war shall for-
ever forfeit his rights of citizenship.
Such a law is a military necessity.
But war wds 'to all intents and
purposes ended :on Nov. 11, 1918. Ac-
cording to the letter of the law, how-
ever, deserters between this date and
the official declaration of peace, Nov.
17, 1921, are subject to the same pen-:
alties as are inflicted upon those who
desert in the face of the enemy. Such
penalties, to be inflicted on essential-
ly peace time deserters, are too se-
vere. These deserters are being suf-
ficiently punished by their court mar-
tial sAgtences which are in no w'ay
remitted or commuted by the proc-
lamation restoring their citizenship.;
The condition .which made the addi-
tional penalty of lost citizenship nee-
essary was an abnormal one.
President Coolidge, by his proclam-j
ation, narrowed the action of the law
and thus interpreted it in the spirit,
no doubt, in which it was made. It is
by- such process of considering the
spirit rather than the letter of the
law that all law may be made to
adjust itself to every condition which
may arise in its application. It is
by such process that American law
can be made to serve its true pur-
pose, that of, guaranteeing to every-
one the greatest degree of freedom
possible within the bounds of legal-

curriculum activities is condemned on
the ground that he is failing to accom-
plish the purpose for which he enter-
ed college. Nevertheless men who
come here from large business con-
cerns for the purpose of selecting pro-
spective employees, are considering
more and more the part that the un-
dergraduate has played in the other
side of college life.
According to George William Cur-
.tis, "leadership is the power of kindl-
ing a sympathy and trust which all
will eagerly follow," and this power
will not arise by merely scanning the
book of knowledge. If we become
leaders, and are to fill our place in
the world properly, we must begin nowI
to ascertain what actual competition
is. One cannot hope to do this only
by sitting at our desk, but by a ju-
dicious mingling of study with oth-
er activities which cause one to rub
shoulders with his fellow students.

Twenty-Five Years
Ago At Michigan
From the files of the U. of 31. Daily,
March 9, 1899.
The Sophomore class met yesterday,
afternoon to make arrangements forI
the Fresh-Soph meet in the gymnasi-
um Saturday. The class adopted a
yell which is as follows:
ing effects in front warned him that
they were the unwilling targets of an
airplane gun.
Dick laughed. "Strike me pink,
we're in the soup. Those are the rev-
olutionistas in Honduras and they will
kill us if we don't descend."
"Then," said Tom, "let us by all
means descend."
"I, too, am in hearty accord with
such a move," added the Professor as
he doffed his hat to the Lilliputians
below.
"Damn right" acquiesced Sam brief-
ly.

Professor Hollister's classes in
play production will present the first
number of their present series Thurs-
day evening, March 13, in University
Hall Auditorium. The program will
consist of a well-balanced bill of one-
act plays including "The Spreading of t
the News" by Lady Gregory, "A Sun-
ny Morning" by the Quinteros, "Mrs.
Marrison" by John Masefield, and "A
Marriage Proposal" by Anton Tche-
kov.
Lady Gregory's earthy Irish farce,
"The Spreading of the News", of I
course, is too well known to require
mention. It is the old story of much
ado about nothing: a chance bit of
gossip grows into a murder and a
theft which lands both of the .char-
acters involved in jail before the day
Is over.
"The Sunny Morning", in contrast,
is a quiet comedy of a Spanish park.
There is a subtle humor about it with
sentiment and pathos mingling in a
charming manner.
Masefield's "Mrs. Harrison", to be
fully understood, should be given with
its prologue, "The Campden Wonder".
It is a horrible little tragedy that in-.
variably leaves the audience tense
and exhausted at the curtain. Mrs.
McEachearn, who played the part very
successfully last year, will have the}
