The causes which these organizations are working for are no doubt of the most charitable natures. Nevertheless, the respon- sibility of keeping them up financially should not rest upon the students of the Michigan campus. Our own University camp is a fine example of the charity work being done by the students. It is truly a product of the campus and receives support from the students. Other organizations are also maintained by the generosity of the students. There is a limit, however, to the extent that the ,students will give. Each year brings new organizations to the canpus in search of help for their particular work. As a result, the students are beginning to lose faith in these organizations. The burden of giving to all is too great. A campus charity fund would, to a great de- gree, eliminate the trouble now existing. Students could give as much as they saw fit to the one cen- tral fund, and the various organizations could petition the trustees of this fund for aid. This would insure a distribution of the fund according to the merits of the groups petitioning. Such a plan would not only be greatly advan- tageous to the students, but would also discourage organizations which are in no way connected with the campus from soliciting aid. u , materialistic conception of life, and cynical disbeliefs.

The liberation 1 of the bourgeois, which culminated in the French Revolution, left the bourgeois artist with a set of impulses and desires which reason could not satisfy.1 Reason had to do with the external world and wast not very satisfying to one who thought of values in terms of emotions and ecstasies. So through the1 "tang of life" and a reconstructed world he escaped from realities which were neither satisfying nor solvable. There is at.present no question about the failure of bourgeois art to affirm any order. That art admits of nervous experience which must be repudiated as1 soon as we become dissatisfied with the transitional period from the "age of miracles." We have nowl other work to do, and a melancholy lingering with the passionate spirits of the 19th century is an -ad-1 mission of defeat. There are two courses open; one,1 the course pursued by certain modern poets and such composers as Stravinsky. The other lies ahead. It is clearly indicated by the right conception of modernI historical and philosophic problems. Either path is more acceptable for decent living than the roman- ticism which we love to revel in at present. those who have gone before. suede jacket that stands just inside The majority of men come to college to learn; the door with a counting machine they have ambitions; they have preconceived ideals in his hand.
