International prob- lems are brought before us, inside | “of classrooms and out, far more “constantly than are those of any other department of the daily news. ‘We seem! to be made League-of- Nations-conscious early in , our careers, and, oddly enough, we can never say just when, where,. or whence our interest in things re- lated came. such an appropriate season as 1s this week, to ponder on this subtle influence, to. grasp its teachings more firmly than we have, and to spread its policy of. international thinking as widely and as deeply as we. may. Eleven years have passed since the war, and_ adult people still remember all its horrors. However, it is our generation, just how growing up, which must early be imbued with a lasting ‘recogni- tion of these horrors which we never knew. Let us celebrate Arm- istice Day with a kind of new year’s resolution that we shall remember the real significance of the occa- =< SION; 10 wasaday tucmakhig peace, not one for celebrating victory. QUIET Quiet, although one: of the most normal constituents of a successful life, is strangely disregarded in col- lege life, which in theory is. both normal and successful. In spite of , the popular ‘conception of what the student should.do, namely, to have a good time pure and simple, we have to admit that there_is neces- sary drydgery to which we must occasionally bow. We try to plough through this drudgery as quickly and supposedly as thoroughly as possible, and it is a logical sequence that to do so we have to concen- trate all our powers. Some claim that so deep is their concentration that they can ignore disturbances around them, but the ordinary, frantic’ student struggling with a report, is likely to feel none too pleasant toward the agents that shake the hall with their voicings. It is an inevitable fact that there is always someone -struggling with a report; it is equally inevitable that there is usually noise. Everyone at some time wants to express him- self by means of noise, but also everyone at sometime wants des- perately to express himself in a re- ‘port,.and_so it.might_be_polite to respect that studious spirit which is as common to us all as the noisy >» {rice Samuel, _can vouch are the group most However, it is well, at}.

Letter To the Editor: ‘We realize that the word “attitude” should be clarified in this college 4s it is common knowledgé that one’s attitude toward life is what counts; hence the col- lege attitude is important. At Bryn Mawr there has always been strong feel- ing and controversy, e. g., is personal liberty or isn’t it, and not only that but what should one do with it? If there is and one makes no use of it, it is obviously a farce. We ask that the whole matter be re- ferred. to the ‘President and the Dean through. the Self-Government Associa- tion. We advise this procedure so that the power instinct in each department of the college be allowed to flower; hence our original intention will .be fulfilled ‘Become involved with the personal ele- ments and persecution, whether our pur- pose be defeated or no. The strong feelings of immature per- sons resenting their own inefficiency. in their attitude toward life’ must rightly find expression in the columns of the News; hence we plead for a release from coveralls.. If the matter cannot be de- cided without snooping (underhand in- formation) ‘our resentment will rise.

Cabell Greet, Professor of English at Bar- nard College, reproduced on the phon- ograph some 200 snatches of conversa- tion recored on the campus of Colum- bia University. Two hundred distinct American dialects were heard in the collection, and-these, the professor ex- plained, are only a small proportion of the American dialects heard daily on Morningside Heights... © Dr. Greet’s records were part of a program arranged by the foreign stu- dents at Columbia as their contribution to the institution’s 175th anniversary celebration. It was heard by more than 1200 alumni and guests of the uni- versity. . In his ae ea address, Dr. Sena advocated use of phonographs in teach-¢ ing English to foreigners. He said that present methods are hephacard and ineffgctive: Dr. Greet and S. L. Caius: of the Physics Department, are recording the voices’of the Goelumbia faculty mem- bers for a collection that is to be kept in the university museum.
