The ta sk s pursued va ry from th a t o f a m ale nurse to th a t o f a chauffeur fo r so­c ie ty ladies.

In considering th e m en who desire to w ork , Dean In g ler has m ade a c lassification in tw o divisions, one, o f th e men who are ab le to secure sup ­p ort from home and desire to earn ex­tra spending m oney, and tw o, those who are in d ire need of assistance.

Some of th e E nglish courses offer co lla te ra l read in g lis ts , co n ta in in g books, plays, poems, o f th e p a r tic u la r periods an d ty p es w'ith w hich th e course is concerned. These lis ts a re good as f a r as th e y go, b u t obviously th ey do n o t go f a r enough. The gen­e ra l read in g lis t o f books w hich fo rm ­erly guided freshm an com position s tu ­d en ts in th e ir b row sing is no longer b e ing issued by th e d e p artm en t, and no suggestive , s tim u la tin g guide is b e ­ing offered in i ts place.

Well, next year we are going beck to the semester system again. Wo shall spend future Christmas vaca­tions worrying about semester exams instead of celebrating in blissful ig­norance th a t we flunked two courses in the first quarter. And a t the beet, we can only hope th a t we won’t loee more than four hours credit and five or six hard-earned grade points in the general confusion. But just think of a Saturday morning eight o’clock! We are beginning to take more inter­est in the artistic pictures of other campuses which adorn the college office.

Vainglory by R onald F irb a n k : Bren- ta n o ’s, $2.

I t is really very difficult to a tte m p t any c ritica l ap p ra isa l of Vainglory. E ith e r you like i t or you d o n ’t . I do. I have been e n te rta in ed by Mr. F ir ­bank , since d iscovering th a t th e e ja c ­u lation o f a nun in one of his books is follow ed by a series o f h ighly ecclesi­a s tica l crosses in lieu o f exclam ation marks. F irb an k was in troduced to th e A m erican read in g public by Carl Van V eehten , who proclaim s hint th e one a u th e n tic m aste r o f th e lig h t touch. To th is his c ritie s m ig h t re ­p ly : b u t his touch is so lig h t th a t the pen scarcely leaves any ink on th e p a ­per. (X o te fo r those who have not read The Flower Beneath the Foot. T his la s t rem ark is in ten d ed as a w it­tic ism and p robably is one.)

As to th e precise n a tu re o f his w ork, i t is a b lend of O scar W ilde, Jam es B ranch C abell, an d C arl Van V ecliten. H is sty le is baroque and som ew hat obscure. I t re jec ts th e ob­vious fo r su b title s and innuendos. I t f a ir ly b ris tle s w ith sly ep ig ram s and d e ft w ord p a tte rn s . H is p lo ts a re o f m inor im portance. H is c h a ra c te riz a ­tions a re like d e lica te ly executed m in ia tu res. Som etim es Mr. F irb a n k becom es so risque th a t m ost of th e c ritic s se t up a concerted howl ag a in st him. These passages a re q u ite recon­d ite in co n tex t, how ever, an d th ey can only be understood by those who are a lread y lost. You m igh t p resen t an y o f his books to th e rec to r o f your fa v o rite church w ith o u t fe a r o f ex- com m unication.

“Sw an” Eternal PensPencils

Pen Points Guaranteed Indefinitely

The Swan Pen is made by craftsmen who have spent years in perfecting their art in grinding pen points, the most important part of a fountain pen. They are in a class by themselves, it is quality not quantity with them.

The Swan is the result of years of ex­perience in pen manufacturing which has brought it up to perfection. There is no other pen equal to it for service or beauty.

All Swans start to write the instant they touch the paper and continue to flow evenly until all the ink is exhaust­ed. It is a pen you can depend on, when needed in the class room or else­where.

You cannot wear this pen out no mat­ter how much u sef’ou give it.

Come in and let us show you the Swan, we feel sure it is the pen you want.

Large Size S 7 . 0 0

Medium Size S 5 . 0 0

Propel, Repel and Expel Pencils to match the Swan $3.00 and $3.50. We have a complete line of Swan’s in stock —all prices—Points to suit all hands.
