it," the. United States has adopted
a new policy of conciliation in dis-
armament. Ambassador Gibson
has shown the delegates from the
other powers meeting at Geneva
that this country no longer obsti-
nately clings to a fixed method by
which the tonnage ratio shall be
applied, but rather would consider
other means of settling the prob-
lem.
Although America's concessions
in the matter of armies and navies
have as yet had no effect as far
as actual reductions go, they have
done much to reduce the friction
caused by conflicting internatonal
viewpoints. The United States,
though ti would A eckon trained
reserves as part of a nation's army,
has allowed France and Japan to
omit this item from due consider-
ation. Mr. Gibson has likewise con-
ceeded to the French view that
each nation should be granted a
total tonnage for ships and be al-
lowed to build whatever kind that
particular nation felt it needed.
France and Italy stayed out of
the last disarmament conference
principally because the tonnage
was not to be apportioned to each
country, and the most effective
auxiliary of both of these nations,
the submarine, was to be ruled out.
While neither England. nor the
United States has any great need
for this type of offensive ship,
France and Italy, with their exten-
sive coasts, regard the craft essen-
tion to their security.
The adopton of this conciliatory
attitude by the Hooveil administra-
tion will go far toward the solution
of some of the world's most try-

COLLEGIATE OPTIMISM
Optimism concerning the Ameri-
can collegiate body is. welcome.
When such optimism comes from
authoritative sources like Dean
Christian Gauss of Princeton; and
President Angell of Yale it is dou-
bly welcome. At a banquet given
by the Yale News the other night
both these well-known educators,
who have had their fingers on the
pulse of American education for
years, expressed the belief that the
ideals of educaton were nearer
achievement today than ever. be-
fore; and in both cases the ideal
uppermost was of educating the
student body.
President Angell said: "The col-
lege simply strives to give.the un-
dergraduate what he; asks for, pro-
vided his request is articulate and
logical. Dean Gauss said that col-
lege, ideally, should be a "place
where young gentlemen could as-+
sociate with other gentlemen, and
grow to maturity in common aims,+
riot only intellectual, but social1
and moral."<
It is heartening to find the, lead-+
ers at one in the belief that ther
undergraduate is the most import-
ant person in a university. Too
often do faculty celebrities 're-
gard the institution as merely the,
setting for scholastic investigations,
and the teaching of callow youth
is hurried as quickly and careless-
ly as possible. Creative work is de-
sirable at a university. But fac-
ulty creative work at the expense
of undergraduate education is un-
desirable. The creative work to be
emphasized is the bringing to ma-
turity of young gentlemen, by the
guiding hands of older gentlemenr
"with common ideals." Let us hope
that recognition of the necessity oft
such important work will bringi
about in colleges and universitiesr
stronger efforts to obtain facultyt
members who have such concep-1
lions of education.j

JUST A THOUGHT OR TWO
(From The University of Cincin-
nati "University News"
Voting is one of the most difficultj
functions that the average citizen
is duty bound to fulfill. To vote
intelligently and wisely, so that the
best candidate for office may be
elected is a task that is not. only
difficult, but extremely important.
It is this task that confronts the
students of this university during
the current week.
But in order to vote intelligent-
ly a basis for composition and de-
cision must exist for each individ-
ual voter. In arriving at a fair
decision there are several factors
to be considered. First in import-
ance should be the character of the!
candidates. For positions of trust
and responsibility the quality of
leadership, intelligence, and ability
are essential. Having determined
what qualities we should generally
seek in our representatives; the
next question confronting the voter
is how to determine which of these
various candidates possess these
requirements and the ability to co-
ordinate them to the achievement
of the public weal,
Aside from personal acquaint-
ance, the only accurate means of
judging the various candidates
must, of necessity, be their past
record, or service to the school
during their college career. Admit-
tedly this is not always the-most;
infallible, method, but it is at least
more accurate than either the us-
ual hit-or-miss or partisanship se-)
lection. Past actions and services
constitute a concrete method of
judgment that can hardly be dis-
