down upon as one who still has
much to learn. The sanction given
bootleg liquor by every rank of so-
ciety has lent it a certain smart-
ness that is liberally copied and!
even enlarged upon by college men
and women.
Beer used to be the staple col-
lege drink; at five cents a glass it
produced the desired results at an1
insignificant cost. But now thatl
prohibition has placed a premium
on ready concealment, hard liquor
is easier to buy and produces a
much more devastating intoxica-
tion for a smaller initial invest-
ment. Home-brewing has been
given many a trial, but on the
whole its results are so problem-
atical that the pseudo-busy college
man cannot give it the necessary
attention.
Obviously to repeal prohibition,
would not be to dry up the colleges,
but we feel that flagrant intoxica-
tion would no longer be a thing to
parade as conspicuously as possible,
and certainly good wholesome beer
would be restored to first place in
,the hearts of college students. t

Concentration on convocationsI
with the aim of increasing student-
interest in religion appears to be
the principal order of business for
the Student Christian association.
While their efforts are, within
bounds, fruitful, other fields,
which because of their greater fer-'
tility would reap larger harvests if
given the attention afforded con-'
vocations, are being left untouch-
ed. Foremost among these is the
establishment of a more intimate
and cordial relation between stu-
dents from foreign countries and
the general student body.
The University is recognized
universally for its cosmopolitan
character, its abundance of stu-
dents from other lands, who are
frequently the most promising
young men and women of their re-
spective countries.
Despite the high calibre of these
students and the importance of
their receiving a favorable opinion
of the University and of the Amer-
ican people generally, they are
treated with an air of frigidity.
The building of a friendly rela-
tion with foreign students is di-
rectly in line with the association's
endeavors, and it has done some-
thing toward that end. But cor-
dial feelings can not be thoroughly
built through orating on the value
of international friendship. It
must spring from a source of more
specific and intimate nature.
Advantages of the association's
arranging the entertainment ofI
foreign students by fraternities,

jHe has not been able to find it, and
the customary 'Platonic melan-
choly' has resulted. Mr. Wilder
has set these ideas (or disillusion-'
ments, if you will) in clear and
beautiful-classical prose. It is a
4oy to read someone again who isj
jubilent over the loveliness of
words, someone who is enthused
over graceful form. But there isI
danger here. We forget what is
being said to how it is said. Lit-
erature cannot thrive on wordsj
alone. Mr. Wilder is charm, grace,
and beauty, but we cannot live by
his formula. Literature must help
us to live. We cannot spend our
time in weeping. Perhaps this old
adage expresses our attitude: One'
can love Plato, but must obey Aris-
totle.
