EFFICIENT SERVICE
THE REASON
This bank would never have gown to its
present size except for its efficient service. for
SERVICE added to safety is about all a bank has
to sell.
Our depositors have gown steadily in nuin-
ber because those who first came here were sat-
isfied with the service and told their friends.
Upon the basis of Service, plus safety, we
invite the accounts of firms anid individuals.

The extreme conservatism, ap-

THE QUESTION
The question of whether or not
the mlerit system. is to be estab-I
lished in tihe selection of officers of
the Union lhas been previously dis-
cussed pro''and conl from almost
every angle. All students who are
interested in seeing the Union rte-c
moved from the hands of an incom-i
peteni and uninformed electorate
are well acquainted with the sub-
ject. Their memories need no stim-
ulation.
The real problem which will arise
In passing an amendment effecting
the selection of officers lies not in
changing negative votes to positive,
,for the opposition to such a worthy
and necessary measure is negligi-
ble, but in arousing in those num-
erous apathetic and disinterested
persons somne definite opinions,
which will be powerful and con-
vincing enough to bring out the
vote.
This is not the first time the
merit system in the Unton has
come before the campus for a vote.
Yet, each time it has been defeated
because of lack of interest. No one
will deny the value of the merit
System, but on the other hand, no
one will do anything to remedy the
existing situation, except for a!
small and vitally interested group.
No definite proposals have as yet
been formulated to place before the
members of the Union, but such a
tplan is expected to be forthcoming=
In the .near future. When- it does,1
Its fate will 'est in the none-too-
* gentle hands of the voters; its suc-
cess - will depend on the interest of
the student body.
The Union should be a real nmen's
club in fact as well as in name, but
until a spirit of warmth and a tra-
dition grow up around it, it will
remain nothing more than a build-
ing where one can waste a few idle
moments. This situation is indic-

To the editor:
I am greatly surprised to find in
your columns the adverse opinionI
on Thomas Mann, the Germn
writer, as expressed by Prof. J. A. C.
Hildner. I enclose, among others,
tile estimate on said writer as found
more especially in Tihe New Re-
public of November 27, page 3. I
refer you also to an article .in The
Nation of November 27,- page 616.1
"Ideally, the Nobel Prize wouldj
be given, not as an encouragemlenlt
to a young writer or as a vindica-
tion of a popular writer, but rather,
as a tribute to a manl of high tal-
