despite these regulations, the new man .soon realizes
.that he is a Utopia for individualists. No restrictions
whatsoever are placed on free thinking and excep-
tionally few rules hinder complete freedom of action,
This liberty has the inherent possibility of develop-
ing a strong character to its very utmost; but it is
apt to overcome the average man, and invariably
gives hi ma misconception of his obligations. This
element of individuality has curbed the growth of the
power of the Helenic group, and has kept fraternities
at Virginia in a stable position while those at other
universities have had varying luck. An exaggerated
idea of individuality leads the pledges to thumb their
respective noses at the advice of the old men in the
chapters, thus hurting the various clubs; but at the
same time this spirit has kept the non-fraternity
men at the University from organizing into a unit
which might overthrow a group but half performing
its duties.
The extravagant feeling of independence which
the new man gets results in a lack of interest in his
fraternity and in extra-curricular activities. His
misconception is given a chance to develop because
the old men in the chapters either live in their houses
or in apartments while all the new men are herded
into boarding houses or dormitories. Thus the pledge
is segregated by a natural process, and does not dis-
cover the true nature of individuality or of that for
which fraternities stand until he moves into his
fraternity house at the beginning of his second year.
By that time it is ordinarily too late for him to go out
for managerial or literary positions, and his frater-
nity loses an office that at most schools would be
held by a Greek letter man.
Furthermore, there is no hazing at Virginia; and!
although this abstinence also tends to develop indi-
viduality, it keeps the old men from injecting helpful
stimuli into a pledge when there are none already
in him.
But despite all this, the fraternities still retain.
a position of power at the University of Virginia. The
reason is simple; the non-fraternity men feel thej
same spirit of excessive individuality that has ham-I
pered the other group. They resent organization;
they resent prodding, even by members of their own
group; and the majority of them quite literally area
sitting down doing nothing to weaken the position
of the Hellenic group.

aspect of the play is pointed and
worth recalling at length:
"Morell is a rather good speci-
men of modern virile parson,
with a brief, bright and breezy
manner, hearty gestures, demo-
c r a t i c sympathies, a grenadier
chest, and a reassuring and brac-
ing air of desire that you should
cheer up and rely on it that he is
a man and a brother.. ..By a pro-
per train of incident Morell is win-
nowed and found to consist al-
most exclusively of branny phras-
es....In his own mind Morell hasj
come to arrange his universe into
a delicisiouly exhilarating tab-
leau: himself in the middle, un-
feignedly beneficent, justly adored,
curates speeding at his bidding,
typewriters typewriting for love of
him, an idolizing wife to lean on
him,' large congregations to hang
on his words-all the pleasant
perquisites of a great force for
good... We are to feel the sound-
ing emptiness of this parasitic
soul that subsists on the willing-
ness of others to pay attention to
it, and then the bewilderment and
horror of-, its owner when a uni-
verse which ought to go on with
its ministrations to his complace-
ncy suddenly ceases to act.. .The
smack begins when Marchbanks
hands back as bad some verbiage
of Morell's best minting, and Morell
rushes in panic from phrase to
phrase in a frenzied attempt to
find one that will produce the old
effect, always countered by March-
bank's passionate rejection of the
whole currency....Then Candida
reinforces Marchbank's onslaught
by showing Morell that she has
been looking on with amusement,
and quite without illusion at his
doings among the phrases. Here
as a satirical study of character
the play ends."
Mr. Arnold-and the blame is the
casting director's-was able to real-
ize this evolution only very super-
ficially. From the very beginning

Modern
Discovery
"Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
When a new planet swims into his ken.
PRESUMABLY few people ever have enjoyed
this rare experience described by John Keats,
but two European astronomers recently under-
went it. It is to be doubted, of course, whether
their experience was quite up to that of Keats-
how could it be when the newly-discovered "1932"
turned out to be so small that as the New York
Times says, "iftpulverized it would provied barely
enough dust to cover Manhattan lightly." The
Arizona youth who discovered the trans-Neptun-
ian planet a year or two ago might have approxi-
mated the feeling more closely.
Scientific discovery is no longer so simple and
dramatic as of yore. If Archimedes were to set
about discovering his famous principle today he
would have to take Physics 45, 46, 113, 22A and
M.E. 3; join Phi Kappa Phi; get a graduate assist-
antship; and finally take a two-hour graduate
research course in Hydrostatics after conference
with the instructor (not given in 1933) ; after
which he might announce his discovery either by
publishing a dissertation in some learned magazine
or by delivering a paper before an Academy of
Science, A.S.M.E. or the Schoolmasters' club-not
by the elementary and effective method of dashing
down the street fresh from the bathtub shrieking
"Eureka !"
But let s not dis'count our modern scientific
achievements just because they aren't made in
bathtubs or under apple trees or out of the window
of a leaning tower. These men are going to de
something quite definite by means of this latest
discovery, perhaps even end the depression. They
are going to correct the measurement of the dis-
tance to the sun from within 50,000 to within 10,-
000 miles. Greater discoveries are being made
today than in Newton's time; the reason they can't
produce the stir they used to is just that the new
pebbles are being dropped into a much larger and
growing pond of knowledge.

Stevens took the rabbit home;
gave him to his young son; is at a

Prof. Harcourt L. Caverly, notor-
ious for his economics lectures has
devised a new means of holding
the attention of his audience. Dur- I
ing the course of his speech, he
flips a piece of chalk into the air
and gracefully catches it on the
way down.
Results are perfect. Alert stu-
dents begin to snicker; snicker
louder; wake up most of the sleep-
ing students. Professor Caverly,
according to reports, is practicing
at home with two pieces of chalk
so that he can juggle them and
wake up all the sleepers.
A Night Editor called the Uni-
versity hospital the night before
last to find out about the condi-
tion of a certain patient. The
switchboard operator gave him the
room of the patient; the nurse told
him to call the training school;
training school said to call a num-
ber on the University exchange;
University operator told him there
was no such number, said to call
the Hospital; Night Editor called
the hospital; was connected with
floor nurse; floor nurse said that
Dr. So-and-So was out; asked him
if he would like to talk to some
other doctor; Night Editor hung up
mumbling quietly; went back to
humdrum business of writing head
lines.
Lester Vail received what might
be described as a bird on his en-
trance in "There's Always Juliet"
Thursday night. With the sound of
rain pelting down outside, Vail went
to one of the windows on the set,
opened it, basked in the stage sun-
light stream.

Recently Howard Gould, Ensian
monopolist, was confined to the
Health Service with stomach trou-
ble. Political Boss Gould was given
as a present a male doll by some
of his co-ed admirers of Mosher-
Jordan dormitory. When the girls
handed him the doll Gould was in
excruciating pain; took one look at
the doll; moaned, "take it away, it
looks like Zias."

Mrs. Beukema, the IHealth Serv-

situation, though not silly, are flat
failures; much of the eccentricity-

hard in performance to give March-!

the more silly moments of ecentri-

A MODERN GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICAN HISTORY

These are eventful times. But that element is
happy that has no history, this generation can make
no claim to bliss. The person who pretends to bore-
dom nowadays must be unique indeed, if he is at all
interested in the happenings of the world about him.
For there are many of these happenings, and of every
kind and description, and it is more than probable
that this decade will continue to be featured by im-
portant and interesting developments until it be-
comes history.
