LAANSMA The strong-willed man is one who is able to master his mind to the extent of repelling those images which would smother the thought that he wants to keep uppermost in his brain. Sustained in this way by a resolute effort of attention, the difficult object ere long begins to call up its own congeners associates and ends by chang- ing the disposition of the man's consciousness altogether. And with his consciousness, his action changes, for the new object, once stably in posses- sion of the field of his thought, infallibly produces its own mot- or effect. The difficulty lies in obtaining that field. Though the spon- taneous drift of thought is all the -other way, the attention must be kept strained on one object until at last it grows, so as to maintain itself before the mind at ease. -WILLIAM JAMES. tual friendship and understanding be- tween the two countries."

July 7 was the first time that riots didn't occur around the ballot boxes. The students attitude may be ex- plained by first the lack of college activities such as athletics, publica- tions, dramatics, etc., in which the student may devote his energy and secondly the temperament of the Lat- tin type which is a suspicious one by nature and, when idle, a dangerous one.

The rock was found in Sibley, Mich., about 13 miles south of Detroit. It was quarried and presented to the University by the Solvay Process com- pany of Detroit, through the efforts of Mr. J. W. Foley, general manager of the firm. The speciman is a relic of the Dev- onian age and is supposed to have been deposited in the sea which cov- ered Michigan during tlat( period. According to Mr. Frank Leverett, ITormer member of the U. S. Geological Survey and now lecturer in the de- partment of glacial geology in the Un- iversity, the rock was smoothed off by glaciers about 25,000 years ago. In the same oval stands a rock which is a, conglomerate of the cop- per-bearing formation. It was shipped here from the Keweenaw Peninsula, Lake Superior. "Should I go with you?" -Why?

CANDY SODA WATER I L f e .. .,,.,. :. <., - - I 1 r :I JIM BURKE'S SUMMER SESSIONS AT HOME AND ABROAD Summer sessions have increased in popularity in American universities and among American students; but American universities are not alone in offering summer courses. In Europe, at some of the most famous of the con- tinental universities, summer courses are being offered this year. A com- parison of the studies offered, both as to range and subject matter, re- veals the fact that European universi- .ties offer fewer courses than the American institutions of learning, but that the courses offered at some of the ancient seats of learning in Eu- rope are far more thorough and go into greater detail. In Cambridge, we are told, the main study for the summer will be Egypt- ancient, medieval, and modern. A course is also offered in English lit- erature with "special reference to great writers who have been educated at Cambridge." At Oxford, the History of the Mid- dIe Ages is offered, a course designed primarily for teachers. At the Uni- versity of Liverpool, Spanish is the main subject and this course ends in a tour to t~he north of Spain. In France the range of studies isl somewhat wider. French summer schools are attended by a great many foreigners and accordingly at the Un- iversities of Besancon, Dijon, Gren- oble, Nancy, Clermont-Ferrand, Lille, Poitiers and Strasburg courses that deal with French life, literature, his- tory, and art are stressed. The University of Leyden in Hol- land opens its halls to Americans for a series of special lectures on sub- jects designed to "foster ties of mu- UN hifliioWe Lake Dallcillg WVILL OPEN Pavilioll I E i i i i (f I I I Friday Evening, Aug. 1st- I WITH 111 KLD 1 11 E . tr (The Publishers' Auxiliary) Whether or not the power of the ed- itorial page is waning is still a moot question among newspapermen. Some editors feel that their paper is not complete without its quota of editor- ials, while the attitude of others is, "Editorials are never read, anyway, so why take the time to write them?"I We are inclined to believe that they might be read more if they were generally shorter. We feel that con- ciseness is as much a virtue in edit- orials as in news stories and that theI short editorial will catch and hold the; eye when the longer one, because of its formidable appearance as a great mass of type, will discourage the pros- pective reader. Just to test out that; belief we have purposely made this one short and it would be interesting to,know how many read it before they; did the longer one which precedes it, Dear Taman: Today I paused on my way through Tappan Hall, and heard remarks com- ing through an open transom, sound- ing like a class in motor language: "If I had such a tire!" * "How the wheels become it" ** "Time shall teach me speed" *** "I would not have any engine" **** were some of the re- marks. I opened the door to go in' and try to sell my car, but it was a class in Shakespeare appreciation. Now I ask you. The remarks were in reality quota- tions from the immortal bard, and appear as follows: *From "Two Gentlemen of Verona."j *From "hamlet." * From "King John." ****From "The Tempest." Tiglath Pileser. We aren't quite sure, but that smells like spoofing.
