: IN GRATIAM |
Syrrounded as we are by fhe trials of
the moment, quizzes in embryo and over-
ripe mid-yéars, it is a rare pleasure to con-
template a blessing—if there is one to be
found. And so, for those. who have not
initiative in seeing the -soniettmes‘elusive
* “bright side,” we would point out the flaw-
less demeanor of the four class water-
polo captains... -Rewarded sometimes,. as
most especially in the case af Julia Ward,
by the miraculous achievements of their
teams, disappointed by their faults and
® misfortunes, they have preserved an in-
domitable coutage and a cheerful mien
throughout. Never has word of complaint
or cavil crossed their lips, and we, spec-
tators and combatants, wish to congratulate
and thank them.

be allowed for each. ofthese courses; but
no student will be permitted to take more
than two of them. Those who make the’

FOUR SKITS ENTERTAIN —
EVENS AT DANCE IN GYM

dangling from a clothes rack. Attention
was diverted from this pitiable sight by a
clatter of sabots. In walked L. Sanford,
not Al-Shaldomir’s seductive queen, but a
simple village-child, clad in blue and carry-.
ing a milk pail. Slowly brought to life by
this ravishing creature, the scarecrow exe-
cuted a number of random movements,
all indubitably those of a Shy suitor, and
for his further . subjugation the maiden
danced a most charming clog, the click of
her sabots syncopating effectively with the
music. The scarecrow gesticulated fran-
tically to be unhitched, and, once free, flung
himself about in such an astoundingly
loose-jointed and ungainly whirl of move-
ments that the spectators held their breaths
and. applauded the skin from their palms.

sauntered nonchalantly across the meadow,
in blue jeans and a rakish straw hat, and
L. Sanford left the scarecrow huddled in
grief on the ground to speed after the
blue jeans.

When the éclat this elicited had died
down, A. Kieswetter, ’26, bounded lightly
onto the stage, dressed in Harlequin’s
gaudy colors, followed almost immediately
by a bewitching Columbine in the person
of T. Dudley, ’26,:flounced in orange ‘net,
to match her hair, with underskirts of
green and pink.

After an intermission, the curtain, a “dish
towel, fluttered before the eyes of all in
the hand of M. Woodworth, rang up on
the last act of the Meistersinger. A sign

SUNDAY PHILOSOPHERS DISAGREE
ON “LOYALTY” AND “FAITH”





















































































Meeting Directed by Dr. de Laguna, Tak-
_ing Place Alternate Sundays
“ :



Meeting under the .direction of Dr. ;
Theodore de Laguna in the Christian Asso- ”
ciation Ibrary last Sunday, a group from
the General Philosophy class discussed in-
formally the subjects, ““Loyalty” and
“Faith.” ®

Dr. de Laguna proposed topics for argu-
ment. which were seized upon -by his hear-
ers, and almost every possible side was
vehemently supported by one or another of »
them. Thére seerhed to Ae ‘a general divi-
sion of opinion, one part believing loyalty
to be a fine and noble thing, not arising
out of cold logic, while the other believed
it a-“stupid weakness” if it was not
founded” on “judgment and calculation:
Though Dr. de Laguna remained heutral
to the last, he finally declared in. favor of
the former opinion. i

“Is a pacifist loyal?” was, one of the -
questions most discussed. Given a country
already in war, one of its’ citizens, a paci-
fist, refuses to endorse war in his own
person, refuses to take part in it. Is he
loyal to his country?, On the other hand,
is the pacifist whodlar declared, fights,
saying all the time, “I don’t believé in
war,” loyal to his own ideals? Ought
military exemption be granted to those
who have a religion or conscientious
scruples that forbid war? A very promi-
nent Quaker, during the. World War, re-
quested that there be no exemption for
Quakers because of their_anti-militant be-
liefs. refusing at the same time to fight;
and, said that. he was quite willing to pay
the penalty. This Quaker, Dr. de Laguna
compared to Socrates, who was put to death
because he refused to act against his be-
liefs, and who declined an opportunity to
escape the penalty of the law, saying that
he would suffer that Which he had incurred.
This brought up the question of whether
it is contempt of law publicly to disobey~.
it, with no effort to conceal the crime or
avoid. the punishment. .

Meetings will take place every other Su.-
day, and the topic for March 5 is “Selec-
tion of Coursés in College Education.”

were not at all-loath to show themselves

before the curtain, and outdid each other,

in the traditional manner, in the profundity

of their obeisance and their efforts to push
each other into the background. M. Free-

man, the conductor, was’ led out in re-

sponse to the calls from the audience, and

“bravos” of wild enthusiasm were showered

upon all.

__ Entertaining in_an entirely different field

was the very graceful dancing of E. Pear- -
son, dressed in a pleated white skirt and

blue sweater. The evening concluded with

a lucky number dance, the winners being |
M. Fischer, ’24, and M. Lewis, ’26.. From

the gallery great praise was given to some

of the couples, their dress and their danc-

ing, and especially to S. McAdoo, ’26, in

dark blue chiffon velvet with a girdle of

silver leaves, blue stockings and. slippers,
and to ‘her partner, M. Wiley, ’26, who ©
wore a green georgette draped in lal
lines, with silver slippers matching the
wreath in her hair.
