Night Editor-PAUL J. KERN
arrays which an American Senate has
ever offered at this time of the year,
then the promise of a great sectional
battle has lost its appeal to the
American public.
A DIFFERENT VIEW
In the face of all statements to the
contrary, it is rather surprising to
find the assertion of Rev. Daniel L.
Marsh, president of Boston univer-
sity, that the higher educational in-
stitutions in America have adequate
accommodations for an even greater
number of qualified students than now
apply. According to the articles of
President Angell of Yale, the dean of
men at Harvard, and many other edu-
cators of similar standing who have
expressed their opinions in the Public
prints, the main problem of the Amer-
ican college today is overcrowding.
Rev. Marsh has used for his author-
ity the fact than many applicants
send their applications to three or
four institutions at the same time
and when they are refused this
quadruples the record of people re-
fused. In the face of the statements
of three heads of universities it would
seer# that his position is at best in-
secure, though a further statement
from Rev. Marsh may show the basis
for the discrepancy.
EFFICIENCY
In the past two years there has
been a notable improvement in the
manner in which the tremendous
amount of detailed work of registra-
tion, classification, recording and the1
like, has been handled in the literary
college of the University. That this
effort on the part of the
tive officers concerned is
administra-
appreciated,
by the students is somewhat of an un-
necessary but pertinent statement.
CAMPUS OPINION
Annonymous communications will be
disregarded. The names of communi-
cants will, however, be regarded as
confidential upontrequest Letters pub-
lished. should not be construed as ex-
pressing the editorial opinion of The
D~aily.
ESPERANTO
To the Editor:
Your editorial on Esperanto in the
Thursday issue must surprise Esper-
antists as they have never claimed,
either on posters or in lectures, that
they aim to "overthrow languages-
as English or French." Since the
years when Esperanto originated in
Poland its adherents promoted it as an
auxiliary language which should be
learned as a practical means of com-
munication,. by everybody whereas
sity authorities before the attention
of the latter had 'been called to the
Council's feelings on the question.
COURTLAND C. SMITH,
President, Student Council.
IN ADDITION
To the Editor:
As I pointed out to your representa-
tive who interviewed me so courte-
ously, it is almost impossible to bring
the English educational situation
home to Americans. Accordingly,
there are three matters needing stress
in supplement of the interview. (1) I
was speaking of England in the strict
sense-excluding Scotland, Wales and
Ireland. (2) The English system as
the "result of an unconscious histor-
ical evolution of social caste" began
to break down about 1872, and has
been transformed since 1900. For ex-
ample, there are today more boys in
the splendid secondary schools main-
tained by the London County Council
(on the rates) than in all the "great"
Public Schools (Harrow, etc.) (3)
'England has eleven universities (Ox-
ford, Cambridge, Durham, London,
Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Shef-
field, Bristol and Reading) ; Scotland
has four (St. Andrews, Glasgow, Aber-
deen, and Edinburgh) ; Ireland has
three (Dublin, National University,
Belfast); Wales has one (the Univer-
sity of Wales). In addition, there are
five university colleges in England
(Exeter, Southampton, Nottingham,
Leicester and Hull); these are not
chartered to confer degrees, but their
students may become candidates for
the "external" degrees of the Univer-
sity of London.
-Robert M. Wenley.
COMIC RELIEF
To the Editor:
I beg to report that I find your
paper extremely instructive; that
since I have been reading it I have
learned things that are contained in
no text-book. I conclude, as an ex-
planation of the latter statement, that
it is because no writer-of-a-text-book
has had the precious experience that
has. been enjoyed by the contributors
to the Campus Opinion column in The
Daily.
Every morning I get me out of my
little bed and (not unlike the intellect-
craving Spinoza) all but leap down
the steps to the porch-upon the floor
of which lies my private copy of the
Newest Britannica. 'Ah, now I realize
how foolish it was of me to delve into
so elusive a subject as philosophy in
order to get straightened around in
this complex world, when I could have
read The Daily and found the very
essence of wisdom compounded be-
fore me.
Because of the facts brought out in
this afore-mentioned column are so
revolutional and epoch-making, I am
prone to believe that a record should
be made of them-a record to be pre-
served for posterity. Poor compiler
that I am, I shall make a stab at put-
ting forth that record. It shall be as
a list of axioms.
Axiom I. This University is here
for the purpose of making "Men" of
the students attending.
NOTE-It is presupposed that the
many writers are here referring only
to the masculine element. In spite of
the fact that the lusty female has
probably been the cause of most of
the present discussion, she has been
entirely neglected for some reason or
other. Had it not been for her pouty
refusal to exercise her shapely but
lazy "limbs," the auto ban would have
been accepted without question-or
perhaps it never would have been ap-
plied.
Axiom II. In spite of the fact that
the general run of students who come
here for an education (that last word
calls for a horse-laugh) is remarkably
unable to behave himself, any initia-
tive on the part of the faculty to as-
sist in keeping the institution civilized
will hitherto be referred to as "pa-
ternal" and undesirable. There are
no exceptions to this axiom.
Axiom III. To be unable to drive an
automobile, with which each individual
student can smash an allotted num-
ber of private cars, an allotted num-
ber of light-poles, and kill or injure
any number of people, those are the
prerequisites of Manhood. It is ad-
visable, also, to be able to tank up
successfully and gracefully at least
once each week. Any effort on the
part of the Regent to suppress either
of these vital necessities of life will
be frowned upon as "paternal" and
undesirable.
Axiom IV. It is desirable, then, to
have the customary Saturday-night
parties at fraternity houses, for these
offer unparalleled opportunities to
practice tanking. They also afford
associations with the life-easing fe-
male of the species, which is very
Important in the process of accumulat-
ing an education.
'Axiom V. The seating arrangement
THEATER
BOOKS
MUSIC
PADLOCKS OF 1927
Overcome once again with a sense
of obligation to protect theater-goers
from plays which might cause blushes
and unholy snickers, Mr. Brandon, New
York's demon district attorney, has
decided to visit three of the new "sell-
outs" to determine whether or not
they should be knoutedT from Broad-
way.
Of course the dear old Gotham im-
mediately buzzed from stem to stern
with conjectures on which ones the
lucky three were. For if you remem-
ber last year, the plays which Mr.
Brandon padlocked immediately be-
came immensely successful, and "The
Virgin Man" which was about to close
for natural reasons lasted the season
out. Although, Mae West, the author
of "Sex" and several members of the
cast were pailed, the attendant pub-
licity landed them all immediate con-
tracts. And finally "The Captive" al-
though it closed quietly without much
fuss ran through a dozen editions
when it was published a little later.
It is almost decided that the pros-
perous malefactors must be "The
Trial of Mary Dugan"-Ann Harding's
show at the National-which employs
several ancestry tracing epithets in
the dialogue; "The Command to
Love,"-Mary Nash and Basil Rath-
bone at the Longacre-which has
something to do with amorous intrigue
in ambassadorial circles; and "Wo-
men Go On Forever," which entertains
its audiences at the Forrest with mur-
der, seduction and Mary Boland.
"THE MAN AT HOME"
Speaking of dirty drama and such
thing leads me to quote Len G. Shaw's
review of "The Man At Home"-by
and with William Hodge-which
opened Sunday night at the Shubert-
Lafayette. Mr. Shaw seemed to be
quite shocked: "There were times
during the first act at the Shubert-
Lafayette last night when it seemed
as if "What Price Glory," "The Hairy
Ape" and some other vocabulary en-
riching dramas of tainted memory had
been drawn on to provide lurid lan-
guage for the man at Home."
WILD: by Carol Denny Hill. The
John Day Company; New York; $2.0.
A Review by R. Leslie Askren.
"Wild" is a will-of-the-wispy sort
of thing that defies a prosaic review.
To try to capture it with conventional
criticism is like taking a crow bar
to a watch, and all you have left is a
tangled little wreck of what was once
something delicate and behutiful.
The story is told in the sketchy
fragments of a diary, but what is lost
in continuity of background is made
up by the clear character pictures of
a few words which the author draws
so dashingly and clearly. The deft-
ness of these pictures creates an
atmosphere of fairy madness which
the tense whirl of Helen Atchison's
New York life makes perfectly fas-
cinating in an airy, blithe sort of
way.
Helen is a delightful character.
Not a rabid idealist, she is just suffi-
ciently hard-boiled to insist on getting
all the experience in life she can
without giving up the sincere charm
which makes her so interesting. And
yet she has enough idealism to marry
a man she has thoroughly hated ever
since she met him. The reason for
the reversal being, of course, that she
was in love all the time and only
hated him from self-defense-girls
being that way.
The background of the story is the
most glamorous and romantic part of
New York-the Ritz, Greenwich vil-
lage, studio apartments and night
clubs, with a glorious dawn behind
the Manhattan skyline to give a touch
of earth:y realism to the picture.
Carol Benny Hill has written a de-
lightful and amusing story in "Wild"
which ought to be read some Sunday
afternoon, or through a lazy evening
when there is time for imaginative
reading tinged with a little distant
satire to make it piquant.
of the Numerous Grievances.
Axiom VI. Anything forwarded by
anyone concerning the academic value
of this University will necessarily be
frowned upon and deemed an unneces-
sary project-for why should a man-
a MAN, of all conceivable creatures
-include in his makeup so superficial
a trait as Education?
Those are but a few axioms-many
more of which could be deduced from
the writings of the Sages.
However, upon closing, I should like
to state that the reaction of the stu-
