T AM not bound td win but I am .bound to be true" said Abraham Lin-
x coin and because of that doctrine although he was born almost a cen.
tury and a quarter ago Lincoln is still a constant American ideal.
Perhaps no other American character with the exception of Wash-
ington himself has been the subject for as many meritorious poems as
Lincoln and poetry truly reflects a nation.
A. few years ago a noted-but-unquoted American poet attempted an
attack on Lincoln's character and met with a surprising number of pro-
tests from both the public and the press. The writer who had hoped to
upset a long-reverenced ideal and gain notoriety became the object of
scorn and ridicule- He has never quite regained his position in American
mcruiurc uecause oi nis blunder.
Napoleon was a great man but he was not a beloved man. He is
esteemed highly but he is not remembered kindly by France as America
remembers Lincoln. He did not possess the homely qualities of ccry-
dayness that make Lincoln unforgettable.
Lincoln had a scrupulous sense of justice a woman's compassionate
tenderness an old man's tolerant wit a child's naive outlook on life a
hermit's disregard for public opinion a god's courage and a sweetness
all his own.
POOR HEALTH
TN an address before the American Student Health association in New
York the otlrer day Dr. Lee II. Ferguson director of student health ser-
vice at Reserve declared that college students work too hard; thnt read-
justments in college life are necessarv to main it less n linnlrb Unnr.
To those who know undergraduate life only superficially this declaration
must have been astonishing. It would be easy to believe that the under-
graduate plays too hard; not so easy to believe Ire is equally liable to study
and work too hard.
Interesting light is thrown on the situation by a statement issued a
or two ago by Dean Alfred G. Hanford of Harvard college who points
out that a reduction in funds available for student help combined with
the depression compels many students in that institution to do so much
outside work that they are deriving little gain from college. Executives
and administrators in smaller colleges where a large percentage of stud-
ents have always been dependent largely on their own resources have been
calling attention to this situation for ears. Thousands of undergraduate
men have been doing full academic work while giving six to eight hours
a day to outside employment. And instead of discouraging them and
cautioning them against overwork many college executives and faculty
members have commended them for their pluck- Only in recent jears
have they been advised to spread their education over a longer period in
order both to protect their health and to derive a greater gain from their
education.
Whatever else a college should do for students it should teach them
that health is their greatest resource. It should discourage any activities
whether of study work or play which arc carried to a point that they
become a health hazard. Cleveland Plian Dealer.

rpiIE Cowboys are lending the con--
fcronco so far but the games that
follow will be the hardest. Simmons
Is not playing as many conference
games at some of the other confer-
ence teams so If we lose one game we
most likely won't be the conference
champions. Hack those fighting Cow-
hands. Remember never rnzz the
referee's decision because he can give
the captain of the opposing team as
many free throws as he sees fit as
long as the crowd boos his decision.
The referee can not sec everything
and he is calling the game to the best
of his ability if he docs not the -one
to jump on Is the fellow that hires
him. Put ourself in the referee's
shoes sometime and you may sec his
point of view. Re good sports and
don't razz the referee or the opposing
team.
I'athcr or mother nature which
ever it may be gave us a taste of
winter sports and evidently some of
the kids like it If jou arc to judge
from the way some of them were roll
Ing around in the snow Wednesday.
The most spectacular event was the
barrel roll perfectlj executed by Mar-
garet Upshaw. It seems that some
of the boys thought that some of the
girls needed cooling off so they pro-
ceeded to put snow down their backs
etc. Those cooled to my knowledge
were Virginia .Mildred U. "Little
Anne" Vaude V. Hamm ?? Boaz
nnd Smith from Froggy mountains.
It just goes to show that nature can
bring out the sport in you.
There was founded n depression
university in the hills of Virginia. The
faculty teach for their board nnd

expenses he earns his letter. The
Toreador. That isn't the only depres-
sion university is it?
Maybcrry the famous column crash-
er is working with the Sophomore
editor so you can expect a column
written by Ma j berry dedicated to the
column writers.
Some of you juniors are kicking on

S tudes Dip Into Marital
Trials In Marriage Course
I
N ono placo we know marital prob
lems will bo aired henceforth in tho
classroom beforo over tho back 'fence.
And the constituent arguers will not
necessarily bo married to air said
views. For an enthusiastic univer-
sity Butler in Indianapolis instituted
last month n varsity course in "tho
nrt of staying mnrried" with large
success.
Tho Literary Digest exploits this
venture nnd comments upon tho noble
experiment in to use tho cynic's
phrase being happy though married
in offering this brand new course in
tho educntion field n course in mnr-
riage. As its motive tho ndmlnlstrntlon
seeks to educate students in the
face of an increasing divorce rate to
n more basic familiarity with those
qualities of home-life which effect
peace to the home nnd end mnrital
wars. Though its sponsors hardly
hope to control Cupid's aim they pro
pose to provide what might bo called
first aid to tho moonstruck nnd to
help tho victim of Cupid's dart to live
happily ever afterward. To quote tho
Digest:
"But the flippant will be barred
from the course tho officials make it
clear. This serious business. The
educators 'are appalled by recent sta-
tistics showing that the Indiana mar-
riage crop was becoming to 'divorci-
fied'' as wo are told by Jack Cejinar
Indianapolis correspondent of the In-
ternational News Service. Ho adds:
"The course will mark Butler Uni-
versity's reaction to n divorce rate in
Mnrlon county of 40.55 divorces for
each 100 weddings during 1930 as
compared with a rate for the nation
as n whole of only ICC divorces per
100 weddings.
"Wo are becoming convinced that
some special degree of education now
is needed for happiness in mnrriage"

versity announced.

IN THE LIBRARY
ANIMAL KINGDOM
By Philip Barry
This is a modern drnma depicting
the struggle of Tom Collier n charm-
ing and enlightened young man
against the combined forces of a con-
ventional wealthy and a selfish
money- loving wife. To complicate
matters there are the two women Tom
loved tho ono thoroughly fine nnd
wholcsouled; and tho other calculat-
ing and hard.
Philip Barry has tho one indispens-
able qualification for the playwright
and the advertising man an under
standing of his audience. His themes
are tho Social and tho Creative life.
We find Daisy a liver of tho Crea-
tive Life and Cecelia his wife who
means Social Position. Daisy is n
painter who was Tom's mistiess be-
fore his marriage and we are asked
to accept her as a wise true loyal
woman nnd free spirit. Cecclin wo
arc supposed to think of as a siren
who ensnares Tom with her physical
charms. Tom finally decides that it
is really Daisy that is his wife spir-
itually and Cecelia who is the other
and ho returns to Daisy.
To give the story in a nut shell
Tom Collier n rich young friend to
the artists helped them not only with
money but with a farm more import-
ant gift of vvisdom toward them nnd
toward their progress and creation.

patory thrills will speaking broadly
cover the three R's of matrimony
romnnce rice nnd rocks. Tho lec-
tures will be on the physical psycho-
logical economic social and relig-
ious aspects of wedded life.
"It will be tho first tlmo thnt any
American college will have offered
such n course for general registration.
The course will be open to students
nnd non-students single nnd married
persons. Tho tuition fee will bo five
dollars n semester for single persons.
For mnrried couples It will be seven
nnd a half dollars.
For single persons we arc assured
the course Is intended to bo n prepar-
ation for matrimony in nil its aspects.
And then in n more advanced sense
almost post-graduate in its practical
hearings we learn that tho course is
designed not only for thoso still gam-
boling along the primrose path of
single-blessedness but nlso for those
who have already ventured upon the
wide turnpike of matrimony nnd who
feel the need for further wisdom nnd
knowledge to carry them over its
bumpy stretches avoid its pitfalls
and patiently negolnte its detours. As
we read on:.
"Some Indiana people marry for
love some for money but most of
them for only n short time!"
"It was first planned to give n cour-
se only for married people. Tho re-
action of many citizens approached
on the subject were however that
the course should primarily be for
unmarried persons. As ono citizen
pointed out: "There's llttlo use of
locking tho stable door after the horse
is stolen."
"Marital happiness" said Dean
Bailey explaining his theory to the
Indianapolis Times "is not n matter
of sentiment but n matter of knowl
edge Ideals and cthicnl control."
"The Dean did not reveal whether
the trials of dishwashing or of bridge
partnership would receive academic
nttcntion."
He has a great friendship and a sort
of side issue of a love affair with
Daisy Sage who is now abroad study-
ing painting at which she has been
for n year. Tom Collier falls In love
with and mnrrics Cecelia a young
lady in the world of respectable so-
ciety. Tom has a publishing business
which now along with most of tho
rest of him suffers from tho lack of
inspiration that his new life nnd n
few now friends nfford him. His old
friends feel the difference in him and
in tho third net accept an invitntion
to his Connecticut home in order to
investigate for themselves. Why
though he remains tho snmo dear fel-
low and their love for him tho same
or perhaps their love for his old self
they find him sinking from what he
innately is. The nttraction of his wife
for him is n strong one largely phy-
sical and she it is who persuades him
further from him own direction. In
the end ho leaves her and goes back
to Daisy who since her return from'
abroad has deserted the free nir of
friendship that their relation had for-
merly been and will have him wholly
or not at all.
The butler a football player is a
great friend of Tom's. Ho is the sort
sort of friend and barometer of what
goes on around and inside the hero
and provides the material of the hap
piest scenes in tho play.
One finds that the themo of tho
play has been nttemptcd many times
before but there is only ono play that
really carries out the idea and in a
grand fashion ANIMAL KINGDOM.
Ono critic says "In this play Mr.
Barry has made I think n real ad-
vance in his portrayal of stronger
feelings and is even more secure in
his tnlent for conveying definite and

If you've never seen a mnd dog

it all happened when Mndell Frazier
came bursting In upon a session com-
posed of about ten girls what nil hap-
pened to bo sitting on one bed. She
had n peculiar gleam in her eye nnd
her mouth was foaming like I can't
think just what she gurgled nnd
threw n couple of hisses while the
slats fell on the floor leaving all the
lassies with n vacant stare and the
vague realization that Madell had
gone mad. But we were disappointed
again on account of a box of lux had
fnllen Into her mouth which Is usual-
ly open. Ono of our little Sally Eak-
ins favorite posttimes seems to be
talking over the telephone. After
colling a number getting over a few
pretty good. cracks and nsking all
about tho families health she clicked
up the receiver with the scornful com
ment" I wish they'd quit giving me
tho wrong number." The ball game
was a real wow tonlcht.
