vations. But why omit part of a subject just because
it deals with a thing so vital as the living of human
lives, while in other branches of subject matter, en-
gineering for example, research men work day and
night to place their latest information at the disposal
of students in the classroom? Duch a course as this
might, perhaps, include a-consideration of the man-
agement of the home with a discussion of budgets,
ineme, menu planning, furnishing the home, and
other problems incidental to running the home. . The
course would certainly be incomplete without a frank
discussion of sex relationship, the care of both in-
fants and older children, the relation of the parents
with respect to their children, and other items per-
taining to this subject.
The course might well be made compulsory, or
perhaps the majority of students would recognize its
value andl elect it. Juniors and seniors, faced with
the almost immediate necessity of living their lives
after graduation, woud welcome the opportunity to
get accurate and dependable information on the
problems of marriage relationship and their solution.
The University is well established ii its program
of training industrial and agricultural leaders. Why
not include in its curricula this minor provision to
train its graduates in this special field of the social
sciences? Life is vastly more than a maze of electric
dynamos and mechanical wheels.

Football
~De-Emph asizedi'
T HE resignation of John F. (Chick) Meehan,3
football coach at New York University, fol-
lows closely the criticism of his regime in the Daily
News, undergraduate publication. The editorial
captioned, " Tinie to Retire," urged the Board of
Athletic Control not to renew his contract, declar-
ing that "Mr. Meehan stands for a university
policy of 'big t'me' football with all its co-ollary
evils,-recruiting of players, lavish entertainment
of- prospects, subsidizanion of athletes, athletic
scholarships, physical punishment for delinquents
and a general drafting of students to the university
for the sole purpose of playing football."
The editorial arraignment, however, did not
prompt Mr. Mechan's resignation. A process of
"de-emphasizing" football at New York Univer-
sity has been 'in practice for nearly a year, but
until Mr. Meehan's contract expired, it could not
be inade effective. A new athletic policy of "sports
for sport's sake" was adopted last January. Be-
ginning next September, the program calls for',
spring; football practice to be shortened, a move
looking toward its possible elimnination; shortening
of fall practice; the minimizing of the importance
of freshman football; elimination of organized re-
cruiting and subsidizing; and the continuance of
giving every possible support and encouragement
to the further development of intra-mural sports.
The importance of the new policy of New York
University is not to be minimized. Varying re-
actions to the over-emphasis of college ,football
have been in evidence since the close of the current
season. Studenis at Columbia and Nebraska have
asked for reform of intercollegiate athletics, par-
ticularly football. There needed only to be a leader.
Perhaps New York University is that leader. We
do not know. But it is evident that football on a
"capitalistic" basis is not fnding the favor among
universities and colleges it did a few years ago.
Less emphasis will probably be the order in time
to come. And an intramural sports program, pro-
vided for in most institutions, will, as a result, be
given a greater impetus.
ART
At Alumni Memorial Mall is an exhibit of modern
sculpture that is well worth going to see, even though
you may not care particularly for what is presented.
This grouping has been brought here by the College I
Art Association and is on view until Friday.s
One of the most attractive things about it is the
attempt to give a suitable setting. Ferns and plants
have been arranged about the two galleries giving
one the impression of a conservatory, which is to my 1
mind, the proper setting for !increased and more
genuine appreciation and enjoyment of sculpture. (
"The Faun Desirous" of Barney Seale emerges
from the ferns maliciously and mischievously. "Lar
Belle Dherhys" by Emanuel Cavacos is an exquisite
thing, full of life. grace and naturalness. Decidedly;
she belongs among the ferns. Vincent Glinsky's
"Flower" is delicate and lovely in line and fits into
the same environment, although she adds sophistica-
tion. Carl Jennewein captivates us with "Cupid and
Gazelle," one of his famous bronzes. Utter plasticity
of form and handling are heightened by the extreme-7
ly fine tactile values. Manole presents a "Seated
Figure" which is satisfying in its solidity, form and
compactness.]
There are many interesting types of character
studies in the collection. "Dolores" by Nena De
Brennecke is quite unusual. Antonio Salemme por-l
trays a very appealing character in the "Old.ScotchI
Woman." A modern land unique mask is done by
Boris Lovet Lorski, showing two faces at right angles l
to one another, portrayed as a bas relief. A small1
statue carved in wood by Warren Wheelock .is called
"Maternity." It is done with a great deal of tender-,
ness and has long sweeping lines making it simpleI
and expressive.
Pure comedy of a gentle and amusing sort is to be1
found in Heinz Warmke's "Bear Entertaining Him-I
self," a cub lying on his back gazing questioningly atl

fore Calvin Coolidge and the late
Senator Dwight L. Morrow matri-
culated as freshmen. He received
an honorary L.H.D. from the same
institution in 1926.
In 1917, he was a captain of the'
air service and later, during the
c urse of the World War, he be-'
came, rpetively: major; judge'
advocate general of the Reserve
Corps; judge advocate of the 20th
division; and a member of the staff
school of the Army War College.
In his capacity as judge advocate,
Professor Reeves was responsible
for the discipline of 25,000 troops.
The 20th diVision, of which he was
a member, was assigned to leave for
Europe on the first of December,
1918; but the signing of the Armis-
tice in November prevented Prof.
Reeves from getting overseas dur-
ing the war.
Perhaps the first recognition of
Porfessor Reeves' position in the
field of political science came in
1924, when he was selected as lec-
turer for the Academy of Interna-
tional Law, at The Hague.
In 1925, he was apointed by Pres-
ident Coolidge as an American
member of the Pan-American Com-
mission of Jurists, for the codifica-
tion of International Law.
As a member of thi commission
he travefled more than 16,000 m'les

(The Purdue Exponent)
Some one has said that the atxree major events in!
the life of tenormal individual are birth, marriage,
and death. N one has control over the first or the
last, and but a few are able to escape the clutches
of the second. Marriage comes naturally in the life
of the norma l individual, even in the face of propa-
ganda which is being circulated these days that fewer
and fewer college graduates are getting married.
The problems of the marital relationship, impor-
tant especially to the newly maried man and woman,
loom just as large and just as unanswerable to man
and wife today as they have for centuries. The
moral code of the "dark ages" of previous generations,
and even of many members belonging to present
generations, has placed a taboo on Fn intelligent dis-
cussion of such problems. Anything dealing with the
question of sex has been studiously avoided in the
past.

generation, especially college students, toward the
