CHAMBERLIN IN MEMORIUIMI- Eleven years ago today ended the career of James Burril Angell, former President of the University, after 38 years of untiring service for the ad- vancement of this institution. Serving as President 'of the University for thirty-eight years, it was largely through hi ladership that it develop- ed from comparative obscurity to a position aiong the foremost institu- tions of learninig in the world.'Honors without nupmber are merited by the man to wh6P the University is so tre- medously indebted-' RIDICULOUS EXAMINATIONS It is one' Of' the ridiculous if not absurd requiremleuts of the literary college that written final examinations are required in all courses given, whether elementary, intermediate, or advanced. The value of examinations in certain courses given in the liter- ary college is admitted by most every- one ,but in the advanced seminar{ courses the tequirement, is invariably inefficient, useless, and is either evaded or disregarded entirely as an indication of work done. In the seminary courses the work done byI different students is of such a variedl nature that no examination questions can be evolved by a professor. which will meet the requirements of each student in the course .without being so general in nature that they are worthless as tests of knowledge or method. ;. Does it seem radically unreasonable to suggest that when a student has sufficient interest and ability in a cer- tain field to do the difficult advanced work that he should be relieved from the usual pre-examination fact cram- ming orgy? Does it seem disrespect- ful to suggest that the varied work done by students in the seminar courses prevents the giving of an ex- amination suitable to the work done by each during the semester? Does it appear verging upon the dictatorial to state that giving such examinations is useless and out of modern educa- tionial style? That final examinations in such ad- vanced ccuvises should be abolished by the inflictors and afflicted. The requirement should be stricken from the books, the sooner the better. WOMEN JURORS Those who have regarded the ad- mission of women to jury service 'with scepticism have ben put in a rather difficult situation by reportst from more , than 100 judges in 201 states who attribute positive gains to justice to the presence of women in the jury box. More than 90 per cent1 of those who replied to the nation-i wide questionnaire favored juries con-1 sisting of both men and women. Be-' sides giving cases as careful consid- eration as men, women jurors are credited with raising the moral tone] of the court room, and with showing more care in carrying out the instruc- tion of the judges. RECOGNITON] One of the surest signs that we canr possibly gain of the eminence of ourf University is the recognition it re-] ceives from outsiders, and in view of this fact the recent appointment of Prof. Laurence Gould, of the geology department to the personnel of the Putnam expedition to the North this summer is especially gratifying. It is one thing to have a faculty comopsed of narrow minded pedants who are confined close to their own field; it is quite another to have men on our staff who are recognized when leading scientists are needed and a broad field of research is opened. The University should be proud, both of Professor Gould who has achieved the honor and of the general type of faculty men who elicit such recogni- tion. INTERVENING IN CHINA England's willingness to withdraw from China, or to maintain the pres- ent concessions by force, imposing on the Chinese respect for the flag, per- sons, and property of foreign nation- als, depending upon the attitude of Japan and the United States has placed a question of policy directly before these countries. Though the Tokio government has not yet made its reply, it has defi- nitely decided not to adopt coercive measures over the Nanking affair, which was certainly an event pro- vocative of action if any is forth- coming. Japanese editorial opinion- has universally backed this govern- , ment decision, and likewise opposes any military operations not'necessary for the protection of its nationals. For the United States, there should be no hesitation in refusing the policy of intervention. It has no conces- sions or spheres of influence in China, and in accord with its previous rela- tions with China wishes none. Mili- tary and naval action in excess of that needed for the protection and re- moval of its citizens would be ex- pensive and foolhardy. An American official of long experience in China is reported to have termed intervention suicidal unless the powers are pre- pared to bring a force of 500,000 men to China for a probable occupation of 10 years . America, now regarded as friendly by the Chinese, would come to the unenvied position occupied by the British, and would gain little commercial or diplomatic advantage not available by a policy of peace and comity. Excessive pressure by foreign pow- ers would likely have the dangerous effect of making China more radical. P One of the most important aspects of I the Chinese situation at the present tne is the struggle between 'General Kai-shek and the communists whom he is trying to drive out of the Can-, tonese party. If the powers inter- vene, they will play directly into the hands of the radicals who will thus. gain additional grounds for anti-for- eign agitation similar to that follow-1 ing the Nanking bombardment. If there is no outside interfere ne, it is believed that the conservative and merchant class can soon gain control of the party and endeavor to establish a stable government. As the Cantonese control is prefer- red to a Russianized Chin'a, then, the world powers would do well to limit their military efforts except as they. are needed to insure the immediate safety of their nationals.

I DOWN THE DIAGONAL "I'm proud to state," said the Cynical Senior yesterday, "that I have attended the College of Literature, Science and the Arts for four years without learning anythingtabout literature, sci- ence or the arts." "THE TlRUMlPET SHALL SOUTND" I A review, by Paul J. Kern. It is three months since "the writer" last contributed'to this column; and that isbecause it took three months to explain the last review. Having become very pacific in tendency since then, however, and likewise having developed somewhat of a respect for facts, I can't help but admit that the "The Trumpet Shall Sound" by the Comedy club is a very good show, and that the acting therein is very good I acting. Making no pretensions as to my knowledge of dramatics as an art or science or whatever it is, the tirades of the professional reviewers against stage mechanics and such things (10 not annoy one in the least. If the play is not a good one, I am sorry to mis- lead the gentle reader, but I liked it1 anyway. ywTo get more definite, there were some very good pieces of acting in the performance. Particularly note- worthy were the interpretations of Sarah Budie by Dorothy Williams and Old Gaylord by Samuel Bonnell. Thurston Thieme, playing a part for which he is admirably adapted, was likewise excellent, and sophomores such as he presage well for the future of campus dramatics. William Bishop, playing the part of Horace Dabney, did a very fine piece of work. It is regrettable that after the brilliant sophomoric debut that this actor made last year he is not seen in more productions now. Pau- line Jacobs was exceptio'nally good as Flora Storey, and Alice Vosper as Miss DelValle, and, as a matter of fact, one could go through the entire cast, apply superlatives all the way, and make no mistakes at all. Well,' ryspace is almost up, and a whole lot remains unsaid. It might well be added that it was an immense relief to me, at least, to see honest to goodness girls playing female parts after the rather indifferent efforts of some of-the members of Mimes. The funny little platform about threefeet above the stage upon which the play was given was rather bother- some at times, and disappointing also, because no one fell off. The programs were pretty, and that is all there is to say. To summarize: "The Trumpet Shall Sound" is a most excellent show all around. - * * * TEfEj STUDENTS' RECITAL The pupils of Eunice Northrup, of the voice faculty, and Edith B.

The result is in itself eminent- ly successful; the field is infinitely more happy. But the achievement is not so path breaking that there is not opportunity for much improvement. Although frankly amateur, the play was probably the best that has ever been given by the formerly much caluminated Play Praduction classes, and in comparison with some of their offerings might be even considered monumental. Moreover, several of the cast were excellent. The role of "He" in the hands of David Owen was one of the best pieces of work the season has seen. The rather back- handed philosophy that "He" is called iWon to spout on all occasions did not become as top heavy as has seemed almost traditional in the part, and at all times the gestures of the accom- plished actor were evident. Robert Wetzel (graduated to Mimes' produc- tions) returned to the scene of his original glory with a colorless picture of the Gentleman. It is not his best characterization, but was well done with th ,habitual suggestion of sup- pressed emotion which seems to be intrinsic. Leone Lee in the part of Consuelo was the discovery of the evening. As the naive and credulous littleequestrienne of Papa Briquet's! Circus, oshe played perfectly thel nuances of the childish ignorance. Al- +1- rh ' ~r ni 0 oflor ,1cxh f 1 polrs Jno. 4' UALITY. J o Washington Near Main RIZ~v C. Fischer Co.
