complete more than fifteen additional
courses in order to secure the Bache-
lor’s degree; a student admitted with
ten courses, to complete more than ten
additional courses, etc.
As in the case of students from other
colleges, all credits given to students
from the Normal Colleges are condi-
tional, and may he reduced after the
students matriculate in the University
of Texas if their work here is of low
grade.”—Catalog, University of Texas,
1922-23, page 101.
Sixth.—A clear definition of what
certificates and diplomas to expect at
the end of the various college and sub-
college years. During the last few
years there has been some _ confusion
as to the certificate law. This is made
very clear in the new catalog.
Seventh, ELIGIBILITY TO HON-
ORS.—To be eligible for any colleg-
iate honors, such as election to mem-
in 1922 or subsequently will be admitted bership on the Student _ Council or ap-
to the graduate school of the Univer- | pomtment to a fellowship or a teaching
sity without condition, subject to the i scholarship or employment in the Col-
regulations of the graduate school, pro- j |eSe i'n anY capacity, a student must
vided they present as many as five j have made ten grade points a term and
'must not have failed in any subject;
from the State Normal # Colleges of
Texas must meet the requirement made
of students from other colleges. . . .
Students attending the college depart-
ment of a State Normal College during
and after the session of 1913-14 will re-
ceive college credit provided they were
eligible, at the time of their admission
to the Normal College, to enter the
Freshman class at the University. The
standard amount of credit will be five
courses (thirty semester hours) for one
year's full work in studies paralleled
in the University and given in sub-
stantially the same order. Only speci-
fied courses as agreed upon will be
accepted as “advanced.”
Students holding a Bachelor’s degree
from a State Normal College awarded
courses that have been approved as
“advanced.”
Students who were admitted to the
second college year by reason of grad-
uation from a State Normal School
prior to 1914, will be credited with only
six college courses.
It is to be noted that the course cre-
j provided that to be eligible for mem-
bership on any team or organization
representing the institution in inter-
collegiate contests, a student must have

senting at least nine term-hours of

Unspecified credits will count toward
university degrees as elective courses,
but will not satisfy specific degree re-
quirements. It may result from this

elect other courses in order to become
eligible for such collegiate honors un-
til failures in required work are made
up. If for any reason a student is
clasified in courses to which he is not
entitled because of such failures, eligi-
bility for honors will be determined by
the record for the preceding term.
If for any /reason a student is con -
ditioned in a course by the instructor,
unless such a condition is occasioned
by -absence from a final examination
on account of ilness, the delayed grade
thus earned shall, for the purpose of
computing eligibility to honors, continue
in force until the beginning of the
next term, even though the condition
has been absolved in the interim.
Eighth.—Clearness and definiteness
in the courses required under the var-
ious curricula, with explanatory notes
at the bottom of the page referring to
courses and to kind and grade of cer-
tificate to expect at completion of sep-
arate years.
Ninth.—Re-arrangement in numbering
and addition of courses in the various
departments of instruction so as to put
the standard of the College on an
equal with that of any college in the
j United States. Here too definiteness
j has been the aim of the committee. Re-
j quired courses and prerequisites are
! carefully noted.
Tenth.—Separation of Freshmen-So-
phomore _ courses from advanced cour-
j ses. This will be strictly enforced|
Eleventh.—A list of holders of B. A.
| or B. S. degrees conferred by this in-
i stitution.
And twelfth.—An Alumni Register.
While the work that has ben done on
this register has been done .very care-
fully, it is still true that there are mis-
takes. An Alumni register is neces-
sarily never static nor_ up-to-date. Any-
one who knows of additions thaf should
be made, or of any corrections which
would make the register more accur-
ate, will confer a service upon the Col-
lege if he sends or gives such infor-
mation to the registrar.
The committee which worked on and
prepared this catalog is certainly due
the thanks of student body, faculty and
everyone interested in the welfare of
the pollege for what they have done
The catalog is more than a bare statis-
tical record, statement of rules and re-
gulations and policies which the school
Wondering.
The strange effect of music on the soul 1
Whence comes its power?
What mean these longings—
These tender passions we cannot
control?
The fog comes slowly as the shade
descends,
What does it mean?
Whence does it come?
Where at last does it "all end?
The stars come out—mere points of
light—
Are they so far away?
Does it take a thousand years
For light to reach our Earth?
Is science right?
What, in the end, is Science? Ah, we
grope
Blindly to learn the truth!
The Gods on high Olympus laugh,
And after all, we but succeed in killing
Hope. —Edith Armstrong.

The Gulf.
With insatiable curiosity,
I peeped with caution at the muddy
spots in life.
While I looked,
A vapor gathered like a fog
And closely guarded
AH that writhed and squirmed beneath.
As the fog grew denser,
Anguished voices
Pleaded with a rushing, speeding world,
And asked—
Not for proffered alms—
But cried like babes for light.
It seemed an honest plea for oppor
tunity
Came from far below.
I looked down and saw dimly.
Children played.
And clamoured loudly iti the street;
But children were dying.
Mothers smiled to keep the young
ones gay;
But mothers shed wistful tears
Where none could see.
Fathers toiled untiringly;
But fathers cursed the life they lived.
Bowed heads and drooping shoulders
Made the weary footsteps sadder.
Almost convinced
That there was no God above,
Thousands bent down on worn knees
And prayed hopeless prayers;
And half-sleeping through a short
night,
Ground away another long day.
Drawn, pallid faces
Pressed ty^rn, soiled sheets;
While other long faces tried to smile
encouragement.
Death is sometimes fickle;
But death was now in earnest.
Candles burned and hearts burned.
Cold, still shadows
Of huddled, anxious figures
Cautiously crossed splintered floors
And pressed closely to the walls.
And yet, a tragic blessing came dis-
guised ;
For tables had their vacant chairs,
And plates were left unturned.
I slowly turned and looked the other
way,
And deep into my burning heart,
Truth struggled
With the blind passion
Of sordid acquisitiveness.
I wondered why the gulf seemed wide?
Did God put men in planes
And will to make those underneath
| Beg and plead a chance,
i Only to find it hid away
By men with gold and power
Who seek to keep the dense fog there?
! Is there reason why the man that’s
living small
Wonders what’s the worth of life and
takes it cheap?
Does his love for wife and children
Make him curse the cloud
That steals the light that’s due_ him?
Are the eyes that long have dried
For the want of fitting tears, _
The mirrows of a real and living man?
Is the love of man for man
But the overlapping of their souls?
I would that I could part the mist
And show the creatures light;
But struggle earnestly as I may
With sombre truth,
The clinging ' fog persists. —O.C.S.

News comes from Jewett that Roger
F. Robinson has been elected to the
Legislature in the Fifty-sixth Repre-
sentative district. Students will re-
member Roger as the boy that put
ginger in the Harris Blair Literary
Society, and for that matter, in every-
thing he had anything to do with.
Roger left us in ’21 to study law in
the University of Texas. He has made
an enviable record there, his name ap-
pearing on the honor roll every term.
A few months back he got the^ inspira-
tion to become the representative from
his home district, and he really realized
this ambitious dream. We wish him
well.
