belief that compulsion and religion do
not* mingle satisfactorily. Neverthe-
less the need for some unifying in-
fluence is felt and the idea of an
"intellectual chapel" is being fostered
by the college paper with the argu-
ment that it should at least be given
a trial. As THE DARMOUTH expres-
ses it: "Until the futility of college
unity is proved there is a need for
some agent to provide the missing
unity."
It'would appear from this: that,
Mi gan's difficulty lies not inis
site;. ut in the disinclination to try
hhfpg which might act to furthe
Spurpose.'The assurance on every
ha 'that the institution is too largel
fdx' inity need not deter the Regents,
the students,thetadministration and
the faculty from collaborating in an
X x'1
effort to bring it about.
During the past year The Daily and
other student organizations urged that
there be more convocations of the
student body and faculty, that this
opportunity for the President and the
students to establish a closer relalon
be not neglected. Yet during the
course of the past year there were
only three such meetings deserving
of the name. The reason given foi
this was that too much time would be
taken from regular classest
Another idea considered worthy of
promotion was a series of debates on
national and international questions
between qualified members. of the
faculty. It was suggested that thi
was one activity for which the Union
might well be responsible. The Union
has taken no steps to make this pos-
sible,-perhaps because they are con,
vinced that such a thing is not, pos-
sible .in the Michigan student com-
muatty.
Both propositions have their merits
and could be carried out coordinately
Their uccess is not sure, but the
end to be accomplished merits their
serious consideration by the organiza-
tions concerned. Such occasions as
Monday night's convocation would
seem to indicate student feeling con-.
cerning regular meetings of this kind.
In fact there is no University convo-
cation during the past three years
which has not been well attended and
at which the speaker has not been
enthusiastically received. If a monthly
convocation in the morning were in-
stituted at which President Burton
and other speakers of equal promi-"
nence were obtained there can be no
doubt of student support and a factor
of unity for the University would be
at last supplied. The outstanding,
popularity of the Hobbs-Slosson de-
that it might be glven a trial- with
no possible loss should it fail. Until
the futility of college unity is proved
there is a need for some agent to pro-
vide the missing unity.

CAMPUS OPINION
THE ORGAN RECITAL
A review by Fred Sparrow.
MR. MATER, IURESSION OF
Such a thing as a downright inter-
view;. .with Mr:1Maer would be un-
thinkable: heIs far to spontaneous

bristin 'with his enthusiasms. from
his stiff hair 'to his explosiVe hands.
He speaks i' a quick, precis voice,
very clearly as though he had studied
diction, and with a contagious posi-
tiveness. He must have many pre-
judices and interesting dogmas; his
whole being presents a fascinating
picture of extremes, full of every kind
of fire and vigor. He is like nothing
so much as a spluttering electric cur-
rent; an hour with him leaves one
exhausted, amazed, and slightly dizzy.
His playing-for we missed his con-
cert here last year-must be filled
with a dash and go that rather whirls
one off their feet; doubtless it is
powerful, hurry-hurry, and plaintive
only to rise to a more rushing climax.
Doubtless, too, he has a decided lean-
ing towards the more modern music.
the Strawinskys and the upper crust
of the jazz devotees. Everything about
him obviously tends, toward the living,
progressive factors in his art; the
new and the ever-new in the old are
the things that matter.
le is trying a new system of teach-
ing-or is it new, after all?- in that'
he hopes to force the student to be
thoroughly conscious of the exact
method by which he gains an effect,
to draw him from chance successes
and to- force him to analyze like a
scientist, and then master the exact
process by which he makes, for ex-
ample., a forte or piano touch. It is
all quite simple, very fundamental,
and very difficult, but it is the touch
stone of the artist.

To the Editor:
I wish to take

advantage of th
The Daily by criti-
cizing it in, I hope, a constructive way.
The Daily belongs to all the stu-
dents and therefore I do not believe
it wise or a fair- policy to take a
political stand, I refer to the cartoon,
"Not Her Grandma," which appeared
Tuesday, September 23. Lafollettism
was the wolf and the-Roosevelt pro-
gressives were Red Riding lood. The
story 'the cartoon tells.is not -ue in
the first place and in the sedondpliace
it discriminates against LaFollette.
It is not my place to show why the
cartoon is untrue, and I have no de-
sire to campaign or ask yo u jtm As.
college students we should- desire the
truth -'and, a 'variety'of opinions but
not plain unfairness. This cartoon was
unfair to many students because it
did not state a sound or true opinion
and it took a political stand.
A college paper should'le'superior
to other daily papers. It has a better
class of readers. Its function is to in-
form and to enlighten, not to deceive
or misdirect.1
May I hope to read a broad-minded
and unprejudiced Daily this" year?

bate' of last year should' be a correct
representation of -.the attitude .of the
student body concerning a discussion
of this kind.
These factors in University unity
have been tried and found successful.
Dartmouth has yet to go through' the
trial stage. Apparently no "intellect-
ual chapel" has been held yet. How-
ever both institutions, though vary-
ing greatly in size, have felt the same
need, and neither should be discour-
aged in a seemingly futi1 attempt to
make the student body 'something
more than a heterogeneous mass of
individuals assembled in the same
town for the purpose of education.
EDITORIAL COMMENT
I
PROFESSORS IN THE PITLPIT
The announcement that there will
be 'no chapel for the present cannot
but be met with approval by the great
majority of students 'for whom chapel
was no more than an, .unavoidable
alarm clock. The Reverend Mr. Jane-
way was undoubtedly correct in his
belief that religion and icompulsion
could not be mixed satisfactorily. Yet
it must be realized 'that a strong con-
necting agent has been :lost to the
College, which some other form of
chapel exercises might well replace.
Dartmouth has long been run on the
theory that unity of the undergraduate
body is helpful to the life of. the Col-
lege. Morning chapel-services brought
about that unity even though there
was only physical unity. It might bej
argued that athletics produce unity
as well as chapel. An analysis, how-
ever, will show that unity at athletic
contests is based on emotional fervor
which seldom admits of reason.
THE DARTMOUTH has announced
before its favor to "ihtellectual
chapel," to daily talks given by mem-
bers of the administration and faculty.
And THE DARTMOUTH now reiter-
ates its belief that the plan will work,
that the student body would attend
talks by men informed on their sib-
ject, a subject of which the 'student1
might otherwise be totally ignorant.
With sufficient alteration the burden j
would not rest heavily on the should-
era of any one man.
THE DARTMOUTH would not .ex-
cept such a plan to be adopted on a
compulsory basis. Reason and com-I
pulsion would mix no better than re-
ligion and compulsion. The plan would
be best worked out on the basis of.
To the Editor of The Daily:
At the university of my own state,
the problem of caring for the grass
on the campus has been solved, if it
ever was a problem there. Since time
immemorial, one of the schools of
that -university has considered It it's
own particular privilege "to care for
the grass. By the exercise of their tra-
ditional rights they have so completely
eliminated "cutting the corners" and
walking on the grass that on the oc-
casion of my last: visit, -during two
days on the campus, I didn't see a
student step on the grass! This in a
university of four thousand students,
with sidewalks not as convenient or
numerous as on our own campus.
The methods used by this school
to maintain its care of the grass are
drastic but effective. They may not
meet the conditions at Michigan and
may not be acceptable, but they are
worth considering. When a student is
seen to step - on the grass by any
member of the school, he is stopped
and corrected by that member. If he
"apologizes," he is let go with a warn-
ing. If he repeats the offence or is
intractable, his punishment is swift
and inevitable. That might a "com-
mittee" of some two hundred upper-
classmen of the school wait upon
him, escort him to an appropriate
spot where he is made to "run the
gauntlet." Every man of the two hun-
dred is anxious to try the swing of
his oak paddle. The end of the gaunt-
let line is at the edge of a pool so
that the culprit can cool off 'with a
nice plunge.
Such a procedure nay very easily
lead to abuses and I do not know
whether the custom :still prevails atj
that university or not. lowever, it has
elements which jnust be embodied inI
any plan adopted at Michigan. It was
started by students, carried out by
students, and its binding force was
recognized by students if not of their
own free will, by their better judge-
noon in Hill auditorium. The program
contained several well known num- "
bers which were received with en-
thusiasm by/ a,,large and attentive
audience '
The outstandig number of the re-
cital was Rogers "Concert Overture"
in . B minor. This composition was'
one of large dimensions and its rich
harmonies; and varied moods were,
brou'ght out with unusual brilliance
byMr. Christian's masterful rendition.
"Fugue in E flat," better known as
the "St. An s Fugue," brought to the
front the organist's ability to interpret
the great Leipzig Cantor, Bach, in a
moat favorable, zianer. This fugue,
in'three Contrasting.'ecions, the first
broad and majestic; the'second capri-
cious; and the third rhythmic and
brilliant, was "handlled in a manner
defying criticism. Each theme stood
out in its entirety, yet at no time did
they seem to be an abstract portion
of the whole.
. Delightfully contrasting in its con-
tent and treatment was Mr. Christian's
interpretation, from memory, of an
Irish Folk-Song.
Appearing also on the program was
a transcription for the organ of
Grieg's popular "Nocturne." The deli-
cate coloring and shadeing as well as
the general arrangement of the com-
position for the instrument were ad-
mirably donet F. K. S.
