Stokes and Manager Barcus much
gratitude for their earnest work
on the Sou'wester this year and the
best way we can show our grati-
tude is to do all in our power to
smooth over the rough places over
which they have yet to pass. Is it
right for these men to have worked

book a success and now for some to
hold it back by not paying their

Mr. J. R. Pelsma points with
pride to the record of DePauw
University, his alma mater;
taken from the Public Speaking
Review: "Since 1881, the date of
founding the Indiana Oratorical
Association, DePauw has won. 18
State contests. All the other Indi-
ra colleges combined winning
only 15. Out of 8 Interstate con-
tests, DePauw has won 6. This
record is unsurpassed in the his-
tory of American colleges." Edu-
cationally, historically and relig-
iously, Southwestern holds the same
position in Texas as DePauw does
in In liana. Interest in Literary
work has bean revived this year in
Southwestern by the introduction
of a Chair of Public Speaking.
May the good work begun this year
continue next year with increased
enthusiasm.
AN IDEA
EDITORIAL.
The "bulletin" of the San Ja-
cinto Society came out last week
in due time. We are glad to see
that they have done so much for
the world In the past and we hope
their good work will cont'nue.
Edftar Stokes and Manager Bar-
cus are very opt!mistic about the
Sou'wester for 1913. They believe
that they have accomplished their
purpose in putting out the best an-
nual ever put out at Southwestern
and from all we can see we heartily
agree with them. They have been
work'ng night and day for quite a
whil$ in their endeavor to put out
a book that will be a credit to
Southwestern, These men have
done their part on the Sou'wester
fa thfully, have you done yours?
Have you paid your annual b:ll?
If not, think for a few minutes.
Is it just to the University and to
the Sou'wester which has worked
so faithfully that you mar the suc-
cess of the book by not paying you"
b.lls? The editor and manager
said yesterday that the book could
not come out as early as they had
hoped for because the Sou'wester
There are many ideas abroad as
to the purpose and aid of our col •
leges and universities. Of course,
they are to develop and train the
mind, and through their instruc-
tion and environment give the stu-
dents high ideals of life and an am-
bition to fulfill these ideals. They
are to send out educated men and
women, or at least get them well
started on the way by which they
may become educated men and
women. By educated men and
women we do not mean merely ef-
ficient in book knowledge. The
educated man or woman of today
is that person all of whose facul-
ties are well rounded and who is
able to take a stand in present day
society.
For a university to fulfill its place
and prepare its students to take
their stand in the outside world
when they shall have finished their
university course, it must make
the environment there as natural
and as near like the social world as
possible. The student should be
made to feel that he or she is to
live a life at the university and not
merely prepare him or herself for
afterlife.
Men and women, boys and girls
are social beings, and their contin-
ual separation means a narrowing
of character. There are few things
that fill a man with higher ideals
than association with real women.
The educational institution that
sends out a graduate that cannot
bear him or herself at ease in the
presence of one of the opposite sex
is lacking something.
In the last three or tour years
Southwestern has made much im-
provement in the social way. But
we believe she has gone too far in
some respects and not far enough
in others. The rules more benefit
the few and neglect the many.
The present system encourages the
narrow association of couples to-
gether and does not give oppor-
tunity for a broad, elevating asso-
ciation of the students as friends.
The timid boy who comes here
without knowing any of the young
ladies has very little opportunity
of association with them. Many a
young lady, who is used to having
social pleasures at home, come here
and spends a lonesome year when
there are many young men whowould
be glad to have her friendship.
Under the present system if a
young man makes a few dates in
succession with a young lady she is
doomed to spend her whole college
social life with that young man if
he chooses. There are many worthy
young ladies and worthy young
men in Southwestern who want
this association and do not get it.
The need of Southwestern in the
social way is more Annex recep-
tions and fewer dates if necessary.
