CONDUCT OF EXAMINATIONS.
Current argument ovr the im-
pending honor system for conduct-
ing examinations in the Literary
College has narrowed itself to a
controversy of principles. Propon-
ents of the idea state that under
the proposal honor is elevated to
its peculiar position of importance
in values, and base their discus-
sions upon the theory involved or
examples of honor system successes
in other colleges. The opposition
reinterpret the honor system theory
and cite examples of the plan's
failure in different schools. The en-
suing discussion has shown little
sign of leaving off its theorizing and
reapproaching the problem from
the view of its relation to the con-j
duct of examinations in our own
Literary college.
does not cringe or become embar-
ssed when he sees a policeman on
he street. He merely recognizes, if!
he thinks of the officer at all, that
he is an instrument which society
has provi'ded for his protection and
o delegate away from private citi-
zens the responsibility and worry of
furnishing their own. So is it when
the student being examined sees a
proctor.
All attempts to compare the
amounts of cheating under the
honor system and under the proc-
or system are of necessity vain.
The issue becomes centered, there-
fore, around which method of su-
pervision would be most effective as
a preventive. Those who favor the
honor system ignore the hetero-
geneity, the size and diversity of
interests and the general lack of
an esprit de corps which exist in the
Literary college. Under these cir-
cumstances any proposal which
looks to personal relationships and
mutual intimate concerns for en-
forcement is blighted from the
outset.
In view of the situation as
sketched above, we favor the reten-
tion of the proctor system as being
the most natural, efficacious and
completely satisfactory solution. We
favor this, however, in the belief
that in essence it embodies every
prerequisite for the elimination of
cheating in the Literary college in-
sofar as that is possible under any
circumstances. It is further evident
that the grounds for virtually every
indictment against the present sys-
tem made by proponents of the
honor plan can easily be removed
by slight adjustments in the
proctor method. Elimination of
watchdog methods on the part of
some proctors, establishment of
closer and friendlier relations of
mutual respect between instructor
and class, entire admission that the
primary aim of the student is to
take the examination at hand
without other responsibility to
police the same all are possible un-
der the proctor system and could
alleviate the slight grievances of
those who see its faults as gravely
inimical to the ideals and self-re-
spect of the students.
We are convinced that the pres-
ent situation calls neither for the
honor plan cure-all nor the com-
placency of its opponents who are
satisfied with circumstances as
they are, but for a rejuvenated
proctor system, quietly and ex-
peditiously functioning without
bluster or watchdog tactics. This
method of conducting examinations
when operated along lines of de-
cent mutual regard by both parties
is not only natural but is without
straining to make a fetish of honor.

THE YALE PLAN.
Yale's recently announced "Aca-
demic Concentration Plan," which
is basicly an attempt to reduce the
intellectual restrictions which are
now attached to the educational
method at the eastern University,
may be regarded as a step in the
right direction toward the perfec-
tion of the slowly developing Amer-
ican system. In a recent statement
tendered by the editors of the
"Yale News" the explanation of
"restrictions" was given a definite
meaning-that of determining just
what and how each student shall
study. Any attempt to clarify and
make advancement upon the pres-
ent "restricted" system is therefore
a definite movve toward improve-
ment.
In urging the adoption of the
concentration plan, the Yale
"News" stated that "the college
mill, which continues to grind out
its diploma stamped products .
should give the more serious mind-
ed raw material a more enlightened
treatment." According to present
'plans, the new system would pre-
sent an Honors course in each field
capable of giving those few schol-
astic minds to be found in each
educational institution a chance to
develop under a highly concen-
trated method.
At present, Yale has a so-called
"honors system" which is so highly
specialized as to limit the student to
but few subjects in each category
outside of the present field in which
he is working. The "News" states
that "the student is forced to
change horses back and forth while
crossing the college streams under
the old plan."
The arguments favoring the pro-
posed "Academic Concentration'
plan are numerous. Besides encour-
aging a sounder and more intimate
relation between student and pro-
fessor, and besides carrying the
"Honors system" to its logical con-
clusion, the plan is one method of
breaking the "lock-step" system of
education. The "News" considers
the newly proposed structure "a
plan wherein the scholar and the

a poem by Johnnie. Wait-I forgot
the main point of this column. I
have grown so envious of the Dra-

and similar nuisances that I have
determined to have a POETIC
FESTIVAL. Now to get on with it.
There was a young girl from
Wacousta
Who was able to crow like a rooster,
Which she did so they say,
'Till a dog bit her one day,
Now she don't do no more like she
usedta.
And here comes one from Frank
Merriwell, a newcomer in our midst.
By the way if Frank doesn't do bet-
ter than Johnnie this column will
never get to press , and thar's my
hand on it, stranger.

Music and Drama
MONDAY NIGHT: The opening
performance of Oscar Wilde's Lady
Windemere's Fan with Margaret
Anglin in the role of Mrs. Erlynne:
the Mendelssohn Theatre at 8:15.
-0-
LADY WINDEMERE'S FAN
Margaret Anglin's final appear-
ance= with the Dramatic Festival
company marks at once an antidote 1
to the strenuous intensity of the!
Antigone role and a striking test of
her versatility. Miss Anglin was the
American creator of the role of Mrs.
Erlynne and it has remained the
best example of her work in mod- j _
ern drawing room comedy. The
Festival audience has the privilege
of witnessing her transition fromI
heroism and majesty to the arch-
ness and sophistication of Mrs.
Erlynne. The two appearances
very pleasingly indicate the scope
of Miss Anglin's art.
To Oscar Wilde of the flowing
lavender ties is credited the con-
siderable achievement of restoring
to the English stage the rare quali-
ties of Restoration Comedy. Again
the Tattles and the Mistress Frails,C
the Prues and Sir Simpson Legends
strut the London drawing-rooms,
this time in evening gowns and
swallow tails. It is precious comedy
that Congreve wrote and after the
eighteenth century sentimental
parody of it, English Literature had
despaired of its reappearance. But
Wilde restored it, with slight fem-
ininity, not so much strength, a lit-
tle more lavender in the air, but
none the less effectively.
The Festival Production of Lady
Windemere's Fan presents Miss An-
glin in the role of director. She is
personally supervising the whole
production, manipulating it to her
famous interpretation of Mrs. Er-
lynne, and drawing on her years of
experience in modern comedy.

* * * ..
In order to get the Poetic Festi-
val off to a gay start I have delved
into my treasure trove of' reminis-
cences and have dug up a quaint
old Chinese adage done in perfect
iambic pedometer which I ran
across in one of my literary orgies
some years ago. When I came out
of my trance-but then you
wouldn't be interested in my
headaches anyway. (If you are,
drop around and I'll tell you all
about it)-At any rate, here is the
verse:
A frank, unexpurgated transla-
tion: "Lo, lo, lo, for though imperial
suns reign we delight yes but who
will hold the horses?" Nothing
quite like a Chinese lyricist, is
there? No, I. thought not.
And to end the Poetic Festival
with a bang (proverbial) I offer this
juicy morsel (It's so juicy it drips)
Here's to the Student Council Boys,
Their like you'll never see;
Inactive, yet corruptly so
Divine sublimity!
We said, 'Awake ye councillors
Publicity you've had
Recline no more, nor always snore,
Such lassitude is bad."
"An hundred houses have you called
You've promised this and that-
Come, come O dearest council sweet,
Let's see where you are at."
Alas! the council heaved a sigh,
And nodded it's weak head,
And, turning over, yawned at us,
And went right back to bed.

SUGGESTION
As I have been wandering about
the campus of late listening to the
cry of the American Indian, the
Egyptian Sphynx, and the ineffably
sweet melody of the good old Eng-
lish anvil, not to mention the lovely
voice of that famous old Irish insti-
tution the stump speaker, it has oc-
curred'to me that these honor ini-
tiatibns might do a lot better with
a few nice brass cannon to disturb
the peace with. I might add that a
little concrete mixed with the
brick dust that plays such a prom-
inent part in such ceremonies
might add a lot to its permanence
as a lawn wrecker.

JOANICA STARRS.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs-
day of this week Play Production,
will' present the prize-winning play
from the recent long play contestI
in the University Hall Auditorium.
This will be Play Production's final
presentation of the season. Tickets
for any of the nights can be ob-
tained by calling at Play Produc-;
tion office in University Hall any
time after two o'clock Monday aft-
ernoon.
Joanica Starrs is the third play
of Mrs. Elizabeth Smith's that has
seen production this year. The con-
sistent quality of Mrs. Smith's cre-
ative work in the drama has at-
tracted considerable .interest in
her work as being the most prom-
ising in the now two-year old tra-
dition of Michigan Plays.
In "Joanica Starrs" Mrs. Smith
takes several hints from her own
one-act play, Wives-In-Law, and
works them out more seriously andf
solidly, in the high comedy vein.j
In the lively banter of the im-
personating blackguard in Wives-'
In-Law there was implicit some en-
tertaining views on the relationship
of husband and wife. In her long
play Mrs. Smith uses a pleasaptly
conventional and tractable plot for
the treatment of these views.
Joanica Starrs, the heroine, takesl
husband David's decision to leave#
home for the glamour of an ignor-
ant harlot very cooly, understand-
ing him well enough to know the!
inevitability of his returning to her.
He, of course, does return, humbly
reconciled to his wife's superiority.
The tragedy of Joanica is that the
wear and tear of this little drama
of departure and reconciliationI
stifles in her finest motives and in-
terests.
