only can but will remove the con-
duct of their athletic affairs from
the interests which have condoned
the aforenamed charges. We earn-
estly look toward the day when in-
tercollegiate competition will again
receive the full imputation of ama-
teurism which would ensue from
full-fledged interest and partici-
pation in managerial and adminis-
trative capacities.
As a corollary to the above, it is
perhaps further pertinent to rec-
ord the hope that the practice of re-
moving scouts, sideline coaching
and athletic board tighthandedness
in conducting actual competition,
which prevails in too few quarters,
may be acceptably followed else-
where.

INDIA AND INDE.
PENDENCE
The London Daily Mail, Britain's
mouthpiece, said in a special dis-I
patch from India yesterday that
"16 more rioters were injured in
Assam Thursday" following the ar-
rest of Mahatma Gandhi by Brit-
ish officials. This totals 27 fatalities
and injuries which have resulted in
the Indian fight for freedom from.
English "tyranny."
When India's "passive resist-
ance" broke into an active blaze
immediately after the salt law vio-
lation, flaming indictments were
written concerning the oppressive
manner in which India Was being
treated, the grasping way in which
British controllers had squeezed
all semblance of liberty from the
people's hands. There was no con-
sideration of the fact that India
may not have been ready for in-
dependence; there was no indica,-
tion or proof that the followers of
Gandhi were capable of running
their own affairs.
The fault, therefore, was doubly
placed-with the India leaders and
people in general for attempting to
overrule British domination by
mass methods rather than through
cool, well-thought out diplomacy;
there was also the consideration
that British inactivity and political
reticence were partially responsiblE
for the outbreaks.
It is not our contention that In-
dia is on the wrong side of the
fence in attempting to gain a morE
independent status; that questior
is one which is possible to solve
only through long, difficult re.
search and experiment. It is oui
contention, however, that India a;
a whole and England as a whol
are decidedly wrong in theirre-
spectiive attitudes of bulb-headed-
ness. Why should England inactive.
ly disregard the India questior
when the lives and property o
hundreds of Europeans as well a,
Englishmen are at stake? On th<
other hand, why should India at
tempt, through mass impudence
to gain a freedom which would bi
doubtfully valuable?
England should clamp down im
mediately and halt the unobstruct
ed rioting and destruction of live
and property with the utmost us{
of its authority. India should com
to the quickest possible terms ani
its leaders comprehend the futilit
of "passive resistance" which i
not only annoying to England, bu
utterly useless in any motive to
ward independence. With thes
faults corrected, England would b
able to solve her 400,000,000 prob
lems.

A Review
"Whatever is in this (column) is
quite unnecessary." It is extremely
pleasant to get both drama and ac-
ting that manages to be funny with-
out italics. For the entirely authen-
tic comedy, played with energy and
exactness, we received last night,
we are in debt to Lennox Robin-
son, both the author and the direc-
tor of the play. The experience by1
which we acquired the debt was so
enjoyable that it seems "unneces-
sary" to define it.
Mr. Robinson, in his writing and
in his direction, definitely showed
Ann Arbor a new method of pro-
duction of comedy. Actors were
made to fix attention on the words
they were saying rather than on
their antics while saying them. Ef-
fects were subordinated to effect.
Mr. Rgbinson's direction is
smooth andlevel; he is not anxi-
ous to make points at every mo-
ment.=There is a temperate repres-
sion of the details-details of ex-
cessive grimacing or wild pacing-
ordinarily associated with "act-
ing." All motion is quietly and in-
telligently'regulated-never the un-
intelligent haphazard of absolute
naturalness but never, never the
ordinary theatric and artificial ex-i
cess of activity.
Much ,of his comedy in produc-
tion Mr. Robinson gets pictorially-
by stage-pictures full of explicit
drollery because achieved with
such naturalness and significance.
He was careful too of the eager
faces that he employed; he never
let them become overpossessed with
expressive detail, disconcerting at-

AMATEURISM TO THE
FORE
Undergraduate efforts now under
way to repair the damaged ath-
letic relations between Harvard
and Princeton evince highly signi-
ficant signs that amateurism may
yet play an integral part in the
conduct of intercollegiate athletics.
In attempting to bring about mu-
tual relations in athletics again,
the Harvard Crimson and the Daily
Princetonian have simultaneously
made initial overtures, reflected the
cordial good feeling of the present
college generations which has re-
placed the ill will that precipitat-
ed the rupture in 1926, and both
have insisted that the remaining
differences preventing immediate
resumption of competition are
merely technical matters of policy,
neither fundamentally divergent
nor irreconcilable.
In thus taking-.coptrol of a situa-
tion which threatened, if neglected
much longer, to become a perman-
ent estrangement, the student
bodies have compelled their re-
spective athletic boards in control
tq weld their differences and come
to amicable terms. At the present
writing, the only impediment to a
rapprochement is laid to the fact
that Harvard will agree to resump-
tion only on the short-term dual
contract which is the basis of Har-
vard's relations with all colleges
but Yale; while on the other hand,
Princeton desires that relations be
resumed on the basis of the old
"Big Three" agreement, with Yale
as a party to any arrangement
made between the other two insti-
tutions. While this opposition,
coupled with attendant ill feeling
between the two undergraduate
bodies, produced the original
breach, it is our prediction that the
genuine optimism and determined
friendliness now prevailing will
prove a deciding increment in cre-
ating the new entente cordiale.

Editorial Comment
'GOING BACK, GOING
BACK'
(From the Daily Princetonian)
Dr. William Mather Lewis of La-
fayette University has announced
his plans for the second annual
session of the alumni college which
will be held at Easton during the
two weeks following Commence-
ment.
Dr. Lewis has so far departed
from the safe and customary atti-
tude as to have declared,
"We must get away from the
camel theory in education which
holds that a man can absorb
enough intellectual training dur-
ing college days to last him the
rest of his life. Like the storage
battery company, the effective col-
lege must furnish its patrons with
recharging service."
,Determined to seek the efficiency
of the most modern storage battery
companies, Lafayette inaugurated
the alumni college. It was a move
filled with daring. Among the most
widely deplored problems of the
American college the band of those
often obstreperous, proprietary
hangers-on, the Alumni, has loom-
If we get this column our motto
will be "With justice to All, and
Malice Toward None." Meaning
that we'll make our puns justice
terrible as possible without hav-
ing people malice. We mean, maul
us-but you get the idea.

I hope all the scoffers are fully
aware of the penomenal success of
the Coatless Shirt campaign. The
noble work of the He-Man's club
was not in vain.

I5ee by the papers that the sen-
iors may now purchase their caps
and gowns. In self defense I hasten
to challenge one and all to prove
that I even hinted they couldn't.
* * *
Complaints have been rolling in
from every side that it is unfair of
the faculty to hold classes in the
morning when that is the only
time it is possible to sleep in this
weather. That, fellows, is down-
right ingratitude for the kindness
they eshow in providing such an
opportunity.

The Rolls statistician has favor-
ed me with the information that if
the B. & G. boys had devoted half
the time they spent digging ditches
to assisting in the construction of
the Law Club, it would now be
I 34,000,000 1-2 stories in height and
have a sufficient cubic content to
house all of good kind Mr. Tillot-
son's friends and relatives at a
football game. Which, by the way,
would be an advantage.
Now that they've figured out a
handy, system by which we can
sign up for a lot of courses before
we know whether we'll be able to
take them or not, why don't they
concentrate on a plan for passing
the ones we already have?.

tempts at deepening character; he
rather gave them a single fixed ex-
pression - brilliantly summing up
temperament-an openeyed caress
on the Mother's face, a worried,
harassed, planning look on Aunt
Ellen, stupid wonder on Peter's
face and so on.
Mr. Rbbinson's manner, true to
the Abbey- tradition, uses reti-
cence, moderation, suspended em-,
phasis. This quietness attained
clear and definable results in exper-
ience-a fine, quiet drollery that
one enjOed so immensely that to
guffaw would seem to sin. The de-
tails by which this clarity of ex-
perience was achieved were so nu-
merous and so clearly the work of
a directing genius that effort at
description of them results in these
disjointed notes. The obvious de-
light of a large audience was grate-
ful testimony of the richness of
the- gift Mr. Robinson gave the stu-
dents he worked with and the au-
dience he played before.
The students in the cast worked
with energy and caution within the
author's atmosphere and intention.
They gave him good solid acting
with not the slightest deviation!
into the softer, easier antics of the
farce plane. There was no breaking
with the director's deliberate ac-
cent, not the slightest evidence of
extravagant energy of personal
personality wishing to make itself
known. Play Production can take
satisfaction in the fact that they
contributed so honestly and sound-
ly to the debt they owe Mr. Rob-
inson.1
Mr. Holden's Denis, the prodigy;
turned prodigal, a part that a'
craftsman would surely have either
decorated or distorted, was done
honestly and attractively. Miss Ten-I
nant's mother was, properly con-
cerned; Miss Tennant very subtly
and carefully made fine pictures,
bending over and stroking her
whiteheaded boy. Mildred Todd's
Aunt Ellen-again a part that a
craftsman could make uproarious- .
was done with technical reservei
that emphasized her drollery. This
was conscious cooperation with Mr.
Robinson for Miss Todd has hither-
to proven the richness of her crafts-.
