It is hard-

us nestled upon the shore of such a
body ot water as Lake Michigan
must be b auc.ful.
It is a distinctive campus, to say
the least The school was founded
before the Civil War, and some of the
buildings retain that dignity which
only old age can bestow. The south-
ern part of the bisected campus con-
tains eight or nine buildings of dif-
ferent kinds, and is approximately
the size ot the main campus ot the
University of Texas.
The tail tree,, among which the
squirrel, chatter and play, is a aal-
lent feature of the campus topogra-
phy. They seem to dwarf the tile-

Spring I’ettlng Parties
Again, with the coming of spring,
the ice vanishes, the gray sky clears,
and in the soft flood of moonlight
hundreds of couples are seen prom-
enading upon the beach. When the
moon is hid behind the clouds the
distant flickering of a row of lights
out upon the lake tells of “the pass-
ing o! a ship in the night.” but the
lovers on shore do not care. This is
the paradise of lovers in love’, sea-

To the north of the “south camp-
us'’ with libraries, department build-
ings.power plant .and life saving sta-
tion, lie the fraternity buildings, the
astronomical observatory, the great
Patten Gymnasium w ith its indoor
dirt track and swimming pool,
buildings of the Methodist Garrett
Bibical School, and a lighthouse.
On the east of this long rectangu-
lar campus is the lake. On the west
! and south runs Sheridan road, a lo-
cally well-known thoroughfare,which
leads from Chicago to the northsbore
villages and Wisconsin. Giant trees
which would keep the light from en-
tering the seventh story of most
buildings, so tall are they, almost
meet above Sheridan road, and add to
the general beauty of the campus.
Opportunity Everywhere
Even from this desultory discus-
s on it must be evident to the reader
that opportunity for acquiring knowl-
edge abounds here. With the lake to
stir the imagination and emotions,
and Chicago, an inexhaustible fount
of knowledge, so close at hand, what
more could the true student desire?
Ad i to this a most splendidly equip-
university plant, nationally and
nm-r-natii.nally known instructors
and lecturers, and great numbers of
libraries whose spilth of books
•ver at the disposal of students, and
a few of the advantages enjoyed by
University students
be appreciated.

when called upon to do something to push forward student
activities or to aid in putting over some project of interest to
the students. They gave hours of their time without stint to
make the school life hum.
They did not necessarily say “Now I love my school and I
am going to do something for it;” instead of that, like all peo-
ple who art- worth anything to humanity, they flew into any-
given proposition and aided in putting it over.
You can »ay school spirit is bunk if you want to; but I I!
warrant you the persons who are the most worthwhile factor in
any given line of activities now are those jiersons who have
left a portion of their personality and effort behind them in
In a letter from a friend recently he said that what we
need to do is to give vine credit to the persons who were once in
this institution, who CONTRIBUTED to our school life, and
who have now gone out into the real activity of living.
That i> true. There are many men scattered across this
country now who were once students here, who did a great
d->al for this school, and who are now making good elsewhere,
and who are likely to he heard of in a few years.
A f< w of them (there are many) are I, . I). Parsons. Leland
Breckenridge. Eugene Zinnecker. I roy ( renslmw. John Hart.
William Gibson. Dudley Wynn. Arthur West. Howard dams.
Joe Esies, Paul Bledsoe. George Branson. Walter Nash, Dime
Estes. Robert Rae Cornelius. Blanche Hickerson, Homer
Hood. James Hiner and many others.
These people had enough spirit about them to contribute
freely of their time and effort to make the -chool life better.
They didn’t say that “I don’t have time! 1 have to study”
to d< ■ them in their proper relations, who can stimulate
you to tr i'.• relatities ami to make proper adjustments to
them, and who can at the same time aid you in working out
the right kind of idealism—this instructor is the man who ha-
done the most to educate you.
There are not many >uch type' of men. And yet to he mi
•rything to one who is get-
der only om- of them may mean < v<
ting an education.
And if voii have been able to study with such a man. and
have cultivated his attitudes, habits, and modes of attack, you
are educated, and you possess tin- tools to a<-<|uir<* all of the
knowledge in its proper position, that the ages have handed
down to you.
The educated man is he who is purposeful, ambitious,
diligent, and with ideals of accomplishment that he can
reach; ideals that will keep him ever striving to attain.
The majority of {ample who go to school and who come
out with a .leglev or two attached to their name feel that th. y
are educated and that the title hung onto their naim- will
sufficient to speak in the lack of their further effort. Educa
tion means infinitely more than any curriculum ot any pre>
ent College now include'. Education do. ' not mean an ability
to cram down a lot of fact', it does not even mean the ability,
primarilv. to organize a lot of fact' into a unitary M<mle. a
though this i> necessary; it means primarily the ability to in
vestigate a certain condition or to look into a certan |»r«»l»l»’i! .
analyze its elements, see their relations, and in the light oi
this investigation to formulate certain logical conclusions thai
have the capacity for application, for th.- social benefit.
A certain '.iciology professor tell' of a science instructor
who worked out an intricate mathematical problem, the figur
ings of which filled up all of the board space that extended
around his entire room. and. when he had finished the comp
utation. who exclaimed “There it is. and thank God it can't h-
used!” ------ —
The working out of that problem was not worth line-
grains of dust. And the man who gets up before you in clas>
and tries ......instruct you that you go out of t!he class, and
come to the cla>' after study, with your head bulging with
fa.-ts has entirely wasted his time, and yours, too.and he isn’t
worth your consideration.
The control of certain fundamental proves
and the ability clearly to work out in your various studies th.'
problems set is necessary in that these operation' give you a
