THE VICIOUS ‘VEHICLE The. vaulted ‘arch. of Pembroke has served its day. Its retirement from active service began, perhaps, when its position as dignified en- trance-to-the-college-was- changed to humble back door. - But now, alas, though it remain a thing. of beduty forever, no longer .can it cast its shadow over friends and_ foes driving out beneath it. Through it no longer will the postman’s whistle, joyous sound, echo to our expectant ears. And though many’ feet will continue to pass, by, the outside world is barréd’ forever. The vicious vehicle will have access to. the campus no more. Apparéntly the traffic problem is — more acute than we realize. It was ing cars on the campus is to. en- hance the beauty of the college grounds and to assure-a calmer and But what solution, will be made. to those prac- tical complications arising which cannot be overlooked? Officially, we do not know... Is the, mailman to lug his heavy packs to Radnor, to Merion, to Taylor and the Lib.?

Or will exception be .made to maii-carriers, truck- drivers, and delivery wagons? Of this.we have not been informed, yet it is *reasonable to suppose that e exceptions will ‘be made in order that the college may -go on. It seems, however, that these are the Very. vehicles which make the greatest noise and are, aesthetically, the most objectionable. Further- more, we frankly have not been-dis- grounds, although we admit that it thus eliminating splashing, and to enforce more strictly the No Park- ing rule. But from continuous moving traffic we have rarely suf- fered, visually or auditorially. After considerable © pondering along such lines, we have finally hit upon what we think may be the underlying reason for this recent decision. It is the taxi problem. For Pembroke and Rockefeller this is not so serious, but aha! Suppose that this were. a future Friday afternoon, cold, rainy.

The time has come to face this: fact and to consider it. He pointed out that the universities and colleges are directly responsible for the failure of sgraduates who would’ have done better had they not gone to col- Jege,-as well as for achievements of those who: have -been more. fit to attend, and who have succeeded. “Do the colleges of today create dis- cipliged characters, are they disciplin- ing intelligence and cultivating taste?” asked Dr. Angell. He answered .by claiming that “if they do, they are worth still more than they cost.. We can af- ford anything for a purpose that we feel is fundamentally worth while.” But the problem remains to be solved—and to be solved openly.—Hunter Bulletin.

Clemens Kraus in Frankfort and Bruno Walter in Berlin. “The European critics who pronounced him ‘the. greatest pianist of the rising generation’ were corroborated in their estimate of Horowitz by the ecomiums of the American music critics, following the young man’s arrival in this country. He made his debut on January 12, 1928, with the New York Philharmonic Or- chestra, in Carnegie Hall, and received a whirlwind of ovation. During his first American season Horowitz made thirty- six. appearances in eighty-eight days, in- cluding nineteen performances with or- ‘|chestras in New.
