depths of controversy and atten-

AN INJUSTICE REMOVED.
Upon recommendation of the Un
dergraduate Athletic Association
the Yale athletic board has seen fiti
to remove one of the oldest of its
injustices concerning the athletic
award-that of giving minor let-
ters only to winning teams during
season. From now on, Yale wil
give a standard minor letter re-
gardless of whether the season is
successful or not.
Michigan's system of varsity a-
wards has a very definite majo
and minor significance. It was
suggested several years ago that a
standardized award be given foi
all four major sports with a slight-
ly smaller award for minor athletic
contests which would be, however
standard both in design and style
The advisability of other plans
which were proposed last year by
the "M" club and other campus
organizations interested in athletic
matters was discussed, and much
comment resulted, but no action.
For half a dozen years, athletic
directors, coaches, players, friend
of the varsity teams have beer
quoted again and again as being in
favor of either one plan of stand-
ardization or another. Last year
a very definite action was begun
when information w a s secured
from all the other Big Ten schools
concerning the granting of awards
This information was drawn ur
into a letter which was circulated
among "M" club members and sev-
eral meetings were held which
made the standardization proposal
seem more sure than ever. Then
suddenly, nothing was heard of the
proposal and the idea was dropped
Why?
It is our contention that the ac-
tion thus begun should be executed
as soon as it is possible for the
"M" club to again meet and discuss
the problem. Postponement of the
action to a date closer to the end
of school would only mean drop-
ping the whole problem and losing
whatever work has been done to-
ward that goal which seemed so
very near last May. Yale has al-
ready taken definite steps toward
correcting a major evil in its ath-
letic system. It is our task and duty
to tackle a like injustice and get
it out of the way once and for all.

THE MONITOR SYSTEM
(From the Yale Daily News)
On several occasions the NEWS
has commented on the monitor sys-
tem and stated the belief that
offenses were such as to warrant a
reconsideration of the system and
a correction of its faults. Before
and after vacation periods and
week-ends, the number of cases
where the monitors are asked to
mark students present when they
are really absent, swells perceptibly,
and more often than not, the
monitor is persuaded to comply.
As we have pointed out before,
the monitor system is closely con-
nected with the whole social struc-
ture of the undergraduate body.
The monitors have personal friends
in each class, and find it distaste-
ful to refuse their requests. At the
same time, they are not justified in
juggling their accounts, even when
friendship and the desire for social
good-will are concerned. On the

THE END PRODUCT.
Many pertinent conclusions mad
be drawn from an article on "The
Colleges' Contributions to Intellec-
tual Leadership" recently publish-
ed in School and Society by Donald
B. Prentice and B. W. Kunkel of
Lafayette college. In the past col-
leges have been judged by endow-
ment, .equipment, faculty person-
nel, admission requirements and
various other criteria, but undoubt-
edly the most reliable measure is
the quality of the product. On this
assumption, a study of college
alumni included in "Who's Who in
America" was made the basis for
the above article.
Michigan stands fourth among
the colleges whose alumni are in-
cluded as among the nation's lead-
ers, with Harvard, Yale and Prince-
ton ahead of it. Contrary to the
expectations, smaller colleges show
a decided tendency to lead the
state universities in round numbers
of their alumni leaders.
Considering the percentage of
the living alumni in "Who's Who,"
size of the institution apparently
has no effect on the stimulation of
alumni to such leadership as would
gain official recognition. Neither
Michigan nor California is includ-
ed in the first 20; in fact only two
public institutions are mentioned
in that number. This lower index
is most likely associated with the
fact that the public institutions
are not able to make the same se-
lection of students which the pri-
vately endowed are able to do, a
conclusion obviously different from
the one usually quoted by chief
executives of state institutions.
A careful study of the histories of
these colleges which show tenden-
cies counter to the normal index of
circumstances would also provide
many clues to the factors in those
institutions for and against suc-
cess, and be of prophetic value for
those who are engaged in college
administration.

eXpression. in the aesthetic ex-
perience of a play with humans,
the concept of life, because it is an
inevitable asset of the actor, is
taken for granted and we look for
'acting with its trade-tricks and
judge the performance largely with
the concept of acting in mind. The

Living by means of acting; that is,
the fusion of the two concepts,
which should certainly be the aim
of all human actors.
Rather the most important un-
dertaking in puppetry to date in
America is the elaborate produc-

which Tony Sarg, the maestro of
puppets, is bringing to the Men-
