8. THE MICHIGAN DAIL'Y' S TI-IF MIfli-IIQAN DAILY 1 -e7 e SSl !&I I CONVENTION STRESSES SPROBLEMS OF DEANS, Nr. Nabot Defines Student Opinion As Sentiment And Ideals Which Are Echoes Of Few leaders MARY WOOLLEY ISPAKS Commenting on the convention of deans of women held recently in Boston, Miss Beatrice Johnson, adviser, to women, stated: "Of the eight ses- sions which I attended, only one dealt1 with students' problems. The other1 seven 'discussed the dean herself. It seems to me to be the wrong emphasis, since deans of women are primarily interested in the education of their women students. "The value of student opinion, as discussed by Richard Cabot, brother of Dean Hugh Cabot here, was of in- terest to me;" Miss Johnson went on. Mr. Cabot defined student opinion as sentiment, ideals, projects for reform, and usually the echo of a few aders. He believes that it is really original. He thinks that it exists in small, fear- less, homologous groups, where ithas, been thrashed through :and selected, by discussion. In keeping with this opinion, he feels that c'olleges the size of Columbia are too large for effective student opinion. He further warned 'against asking for student opinion except in the realm of the students'w experience. Vassar, reported a student faculty, committee working in conjunction, its purpose being to further greater dis-- crimination in the selection of courses. Students are encouraged to visit the classes they plan to enter before they elect them.. Through this committee they are also able to obtain student reaction to courses and methods of teaching... In interesting contrast to Mr. Cabot's view, the dean at Vassar claims there is expertness of opinion in the stu- dent field. Miss Mary Woolley, president of Mt. Holyoke, won Miss Johnson's interest by her talk on "The Institute of Pa- cmfic Relations" which is the out-, growth of friendships stimulated by the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. It has been enlarged, however, to include peoples without the Christian limita- tion. It now includes China, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. The results of the meeting of the institute last year were remarked up- on by Miss Woolley. It has meant an increase in friendliness between na- tions pointing toward world peace. It will tend to meet the rising tide -of' nationalism due to the exploitation. of the-East by the West. Summarizing her opinio of the con- ference as a whole, Miss Jlhnson said: "There is a great gap between the theory and ideals of deans of women and their actual practice. Happily it can be overcome in a measure by a little more contact with youth; and a little less time on research and intro-1 spective activity. This gap in part de- flects much of the help which the old- er generation might give to the young-, er now in college."

Procure Gowns Now! The rental of the senior caps andI gowns by the Undergraduate can- paign committee of the Women's lea-' gue was started Monday but up to date very few senior women have' procured their gowns. This -week is the only time that senior women can get their gowns from the league and so it is urged that every woman come. early and be fitted. Friday, March 16 is the last date that the gowns may be procured, All women getting their gowns are asked to keep theirj receipts in order that the refund t which every woman is entitled to after graduation may be given to her with greater ease. The cost of the- rental for each gown is the same price as last year that of $10. Half of this price is to go to the actual rental of the gown, while the remainder will go to the1 cost of the mortarboard and the rest will be refunded after graduation. It is stressed by the committee in charge that only cash will be re- ceived for the gowns as there is not1 enough time remaining for checks to go through the banks. The gowns will be given out every afternoon this week at Barbour gymnasium from 2' o'clock until 5 o'clock. f marriage is very great. The men are jealous of the fian- cees. Dances at the university were discontinued because a girl danced with one of her professors and her suitor attempted to knife him. The Porto Ricans are quite astonished at the independent and broadminded American girl. "Women do not show a great deal of desire for higher education. There are few women in the university, but more of them attend the Normal school. The demand for teachers in the school of the island is very large and most of the teachers in the ele- mentary schools are Porto Rican girls. Of course, on acccant of their bringing up, they are very dependent. NOTICES New spring 'samples of MortarboardI gloves will be on display this week in Barbour gymnasium. The spring an- nual sale will be conducted as usual, houses being canvassed for orders. All university women are urged to take advantage of these attractive gloves, offered at reasonable prices.
