mf - T he L awrentian VOL XLm. No. 12. LAWRENCE COLLEGE, APPLETON, WIS. Friday, Jan. 15, 1996 Verhage Wins High Honors In Oratory Charles Nichols, ’27, Takes Second Place; Taras. Barnard, and Mueller Also Compete William Verhage, ’28, Sheboygan, won the annual Lawrence oratorical contest held last Wednesday evening with the oration ‘‘The Price of Co operation” and thus secured for him self the honor of representing Law rence at the state oratorical contest in February at Milton College. Mr. Verhage entered Lawrence as a sopho more this year having attended Hope College at Holland, Michigan for one year. While at Hope College he par ticipated in a number of oratorical contests. Charles Nichols ’27, of Milwaukee won second place with the oration “ The Challenge of Locarno.’’ Other competing orators and their orations are as follows: John Taras ’26, “ America’s Challenge,” Charles Bar nard ’29, “ The Forces of Leader ship,” Arthur Mueller ’29, “ A Flea for the Forests of Wisconsin. ’ * Harry Snyder ’27, the winner of last year’s contest, was not able to compete because of previous illuess and pressure of school work. How ever, he intends to enter the contest again next year. Last spring Mr. Snyder was elect ed president of the Wisconsin Orator ical Association and will preside at the state contest at Milton this vear. Dr. Peabody Gives Prohibition T«*k That public sentiment on prohibi tion is not being accurately represent ed by the press, and that a high per centage of the country’s leading citi zens are upholders of the amendment were statements made by Dr. H. E. Peabody in a chapel talk Tuesday. Dr. Peabody spoke first of the busi ness necessity for prohibition in a highly industrial age; he then stressed the measure as the logical outcome of the rise of Christian conscience. The duty of the church in regard to prohibition, said Dr. Peabody, will be fulfilled when a new infusion of moral energy dominates individual church members. Young women should put the ban of social disapprobation upon young men who are violators of the liquor law. Students interested in the enforcement problem should form groups to study the underlying causes for the present apparent wave of resentment against the amendment. The church has thus far left its part in the upholding of prohibition to the Anti-saloon league, said Dr. Peabody. This league, he said, while indispen sable to the cause it has fostered, is now using methods somewhat too mili tary to please American eitizens. Its motto seems to be “ Admit nothing, claim everything, and swing the po liceman’s club. ” Dr. Peabody recommended for the information of his hearers a very val uable pamphlet of 80 pages, called “ The Prohibition Situation,” pub lished last summer by F. Ernest John son of the Research Department of the Federal Council of churches. This investigation and report was made in the scientific and Christian spirit. It goes beneath the surface facts of law*- breaking to the roots of the disease. Of eourse rabid antagonists on both sides have abused its fairness. But both fair-minded “ drvs” and fair- minded “ wets” have declared that the report is very enlightening. It has opened a new and hopeful chapter in the prohibition movement. Sid Olson, ’26, who is reported to be ill with the mumps, has been confined to his room in the Phi Kappa Alpha house for the past week. His condi tion is not serious, and he expects to be back at school soon. Dr. Wriston Speaks At Alumni Function About thirty Lawrence alumni in New York City attended a luncheon held at the Town Hall Club on Janu ary 11, at which Dr. Wriston gave an address. Among the alumni present were Paul Butler, Edith Wood, Winifred Wood, Mrs. Thiel, Helen Waldo, Flor ence Fell, Olga Oehtenhageu, Mr. and Mrs. Millar, and Mr. Sawyer. Gradu ates from 1880 to 1923 were present. The following officers were elected to head the newly organized New York Alumni Association: president, Mr. Millar; vice president, Mrs. Thiel; secretary, Helen Waldo; treasurer, Mr. Kawver. Robert Frost Tells How a Poet Teaches Robert Frost, one of the most im portant of present-day poets, lives on the campus of the University of Mich igan. The following paragraphs are reprinted by The New Student from an interview with Mr. Frost for The Christian Science Monitor: “ Everybody knows that there is such a thing as education bv presence and has benefited more or less by it. You take my own case, for instance; I never have set up to be a particularly good teacher in regular catch-as-catch- can, eatch-them-off-their-guard-three- days-in-the-week classroom work. I refuse to quiz day after day, to fol low boys up with questions I myself can answer. I refuse to stand up and lecture a steady stream for fear of the consequences to my character. Three days in the week,thirty-five weeks in the year is at least three times as much as I have it in me to lecture on any subject anyway. It is at least three times as often as I have the nerve to /ace the same audience in a week, and three times as often as I have the patience when I know the audience has been doing nothing to help itself in the intervals between my lectures. “ No, I am an indifferent teacher as teachers go, and it is hard to under stand why I am wanted around col leges unless there is ?ome force it is thought I can exert by merely be longing to them. It must be that what 1 stand for does mv work. I am right in the middle of certain books; that is to say I have written four of them and expect to write about four more. Well, these books, as much the un written as the written, arc* what I am to the college ....................... “ Half the time I don’t know wheth er students are in my classes or not; on the other hand. I can stay with a student all night if 1 can get where he lives, among his realities. Courses should be a means of introduction, to give students a claim on me, so that they may come to me at any time, out side of class periods. If the student does not want to press his claim, well, for him I must give an examination. But he has already lowered his esti mation. The student who does not press his claim has to that extent been found wanting. I f^vor the student Mho will convert my claim on him in to his claim on me. “ I am for a wide open educational system for the free-born. The slaves are another question. I will not re fuse to treat them as slaves wherever found. Those who will may, would be my first motto, but my close second, those who won’t, must. That is to say I shouldn’t disdain to provide for the slaves they insisted on being .......... “ Give me the high-spirited kind that hate an order to do what they were about to do of their own ac cord.” NOTICE W.A.A. party tonight, Friday January 15, at the Gym at 7:30 p.m. All women of the college are invited to come, prepared to take part in an indoor athletie meet. Conservatory Studente Will Give Recital Matinee Recital Saturday Afternoon Will Include Selections From Stu dents of Five Studios Conservatory students from the various studios will give a matinee re cital, Saturday afternoon, January 16, at 2:30 p.m., in the recital hall of the Lawrence Conservatory of Music.

Facts About The 31 Man Who Earns His Education In Lawrence College, there are from twenty to twenty-five freshmen who earn a large part of all of their ex- [wnses according to a recent survey made by Dr. F. M. Ingler. The tasks pursued vary from that of a male nurse to that of a chauffeur for so ciety ladies. Some do manual labor, others serve in clerical positions and a few find opportunity em polyment around the campus. Par ticularly efficient in leadership do the men grow that become proctors in the dormitories, and such an experience becomes a valuable asset later on. There are colleges wherein the stu dents have acted as professional pall bearers for four dollars an afternoon. There are a few cases when students have acted as policemen, in times of necessity, and there are a few cases where meu have sold their blood for transfusions. In considering the men who desire to work, Dean Ingler has made a classification in two divisions, one, of the men who are able to secure sup port from home and desire to earn ex tra spending money, and two, those who are in dire need of assistance. Besides learning to take care of hhnself, a boy who works his way through school learns to plan wisely the expenditure of his time and money, thus developing a rare business judgment. Self-support has, however, a certain social disadvantage in that it takes aw’ay time which might oth erwise be spent in social contacts and development, said Dr. Ingler. In conclusion Dr. Ingler sai<^ “ The boy who is working himself along sel dom appears before the delinquent committee. Why? Simply because his energy is consumed in his battle for knowledge and bread.” $100 Is Donated To Library Fund The library fund was increased one hundred dollars when Dr. Henry Lin coln Wriston, father of the president, returned to the college the money which he was given for expenses in curred in coming to Appleton for in auguration. Mr. Wriston suggested that the sum be used to purchase books on inter national * relations. Among the books thus far selected by the librarians are three current politi cal books which are considered very valuable and are enjoying a wide vogue: Memoirs, by Lord Gray; Let ters, third volume, by Walter Page; and Surrey of International Affairs, second volume, by Taynlee. Lord G ray’s book is particularly illumin ating, for he was England’s war min ister just before the World War broke out. Positions Found For 43 Lawrence Men A great service has been rendered for the first time to I^awrence stu dents in the Y.M.C.A. employment bu reau which was started this year un der the management of Dick Nelson, ’27. During the first quarter, forty- three men were placed in various posi tions, six of these proving permanent. At the present time, there are six teen men needing w*oik. Any busi ness man, on applying to the bureau, is assured of getting his vacancy filled within the next twenty-four hours. There are two positions open now for self supporting work. Any inter ested, should apply immediately to Dick Nelson, who may be reached at the Ariel office anv afternoon. Brokaw Boys As Interior Decorators It isn’t always the feminine touch that gives a homelike appearance to a room, declares Randall Pcnliale, proc tor at Brokaw, who adds that nearly every room at the frosh men’s dormi tory has been decorated in some fash ion to please its owners. Three of the rooms at Brokaw prob ably could not be duplicated in Sage or Ormsbv. One of them is as full of plants and green vegetation as a na turalist’s study; upon one of the walls hangs a collection of butterflies, com mon to Southern Wisconsin, which were captured and preserved in a case by the occupant of this room. Gold fish also occupy a prominent place in the scheme of decoration. Another room contains a radio re ceiving set, used with a long aerial erected on the roof of the hall. A third room has. been arranged with a set of cretonne curtains which separate the study of the room from the sleeping quarters. The barren brass light fixtures have here been covered with attractive shades. Several of the rooms, says Mr. Pen- l.ale, look like art galleries. Ariel Notice Individual and group pictures for the Ariel must be handed in at once. Societies that have not as yet taken care of this must do so immediately. All seniors should turn in their pictures without de lay to Gertrude Walton; juniors, to Helen Davy. . A fine of ten cents a week, with thirty cents already due, will be charged for late pic tures. Those who have not yet paid their Ariel subscription may do so by calling at the Ariel office in Main Hall between 2:00 and 5:00 any afternoon. If, for any reason, you do not intend to subscribe, hand in your name so the business manager will kno ^7 how many eopies to plan on. Wins Latin Prise Helen Proctor, Eau Claire, is the winner of this year’s Brokaw Scholar ship in Latin, receiving the first award of sixty dollars. The second award, forty dollars, was won by Viola Beckman, Appleton. Hie BILLBOARD Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Feb.

Low’ Grade-Getters Given Timely Warning Fifteen upper classmen have re ceived the warning that they must raise their grades to a certain per cent, or their minds will receive no further development from this insti tution. Eighteen more have been warned that they, too, will be put on probation if they don’t watch their scholastic steps. Only seven of these individuals are members of the weak er sex. The black list is swelled by seven freshmen whose probations have been extended, and eighteen whose names have been adde^- While Dr. R. C. Mullenix, dean of freshmen, declined to give details, he admitted that the men maintain their usual predomin ance iiTthiaTgroup. The low-grade getter accounts for a part of the decreased registration of the second quarter. Many of these people resign the school before it fires them. But it is expected that the third quarter registration will equal the number of the first, for new people will enter then. Missionary To Speak At Y.M.-Y.W. Meeting Miss Helen Proctor, travelling sec retary for the Student Volunteer Movement, will speak at a joint meet ing the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. at 6:30 Sunday evening at the Y. room at Brokaw Hall. Miss Proctor was born in Shanghai, China and attended the American School at Shanghai before entering Dennison University, where she grad uated in 1925. She expects to return to China soon. While in college Miss Proctor was a member of basketball, tenuis and track teams, an officer of the Atheltic Board, member of Delta Omicron, and Phi Beta Kappa, a mem ber of the National Student Volunteer Council, Cosmopolitan Club and debat ing team, president of the Y.W.C.A. and a cabinet member, leader of the Student Volunteer group and presi dent of the Southern Ohio Student Volunteer Movement. Plans for Miss Proctor’s visit here were made at a meeting of the Stu dent Volunteers with the Oxford Club on Tuesday, Jan. 12. Any students desiring interviews with Miss Proctor may obtain an ap pointment through Bernice Porter field, John Taras or Lawrence Bennet. Plays in Chapel Roberta I^anoutte, a student of Professor Percy Fullinwider, played two violin solos in chapel Tuesday— Romanze by Franz Ries and Serenade Tsigane by Voldez. Miss Irma Sher man accompanied. Miss Lanoutte is a member of Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary musical sororitv. Prominent Alum Visits Here Miss Helen Waldo, *99, spent a few days in Appleton during the holiday season. Miss Waldo has done much toward the development of “ John M artin’s Book,” which is one of the best kuowTn children’s magazines in the country. She has an unusual con tralto voice, but gave up a musical for a literary career. She makes her headquarters in New York city. Cagers Leave Thursday On Illinois Trip Will Play Monmouth and Knox, Both Strong Teams — Hard Battles Expected The varsity left Appleton for points south late Thursday for the annual invasion of the Illinois territory by the Blue cagers. This trip will in clude a game at Monmouth on Friday and at Knox on the following night. Monmouth is reputed as the strong est team in the conference this year. No doubt the hardest battle will be against them. There is also the pow erful Knox team to reckon with. Knox has always been a contender and still is. Coach Denny has been drilling his men in the art of shooting and pass ing. The eyes of several of the men were woefully weak in the game against Northwestern. With a week of practice behind them these irreg ularities are perhaps a bit smoothed out by now. Some of the men who left with the squad are Heideman, Clark, Ashman, Grove, Johnson, Bent, Sund, Zussman and Briese. Thus far:— Milton 23, Lawrence 32. Northwestern 23, Lawrence 32. Near future:— Monmouth vs. Lawrence, tonight, Jan. 15. Knox vs. Lawrence, tomorrow Jan. 16. Beloit vs. Lawrence, Friday, Jan. 22. Fadner, ’07, Receives Tribute As Orator “ He is one of the greatest orators of the middle west,” says the Lyceum Magazine in speaking of Frederick Fadner, *07. He is now head of Eng lish department at Lombard College, Galesburg, Illinois. Law*rence not on ly claims Mr. Fadner as a graduate, but as the son of Henry Fadner, its chapel janitor. Lutheran Club to Be Organized on Campus Rev. A. J. Soldan. a popular speak er among university students at Madi son, will speak at a reception and ban quet for all Lawrence Lutheran stu dents next Tuesday, Jan. 19. This will be the initial event of a Law rence Lutheran students’ club, which is being organized to provide social as well as devotional “ get-togethers” for the 90 or more Lutheran students on the campus. Mr. Herbert Helblc, principal of the Appleton high school, will help spon sor the new organization. The Bev. Mr. Sclireckenberg of the Trinity Eng lish Lutheran Church is also aiding the officers. Mr. Soldan will speak to the stu dents in chapel at the time of his visit. He is pastor of the Lutheran Memorial Church at Madison. Denyes Speaks on Religious Education Dr. J. R. Denyes, director of Ap pleton ’s religious day school, spoke Monday evening to the Church 8 chooI Superintendents’ club, explaining to them the system of religious educa tion which may be introduced into the church schools here. These classcs may be held every Tuesday evening in Dr. Denyes’ class room in Main Hall. For the past two years Raymond G. Wagner, * 21 , has been instructor of economics at the University of Porto Rico at Mayaguez.

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.

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.
