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

tical complications arising which
cannot be overlooked? Officially,
we do not know... Is the, mailman to

Merion, to Taylor and the Lib.?
Is it.expected that the human being

supplies from the outside. road to

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-

enforce more strictly the No Park-

moving traffic we have rarely suf-

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. From Mer-

Rabbitt—My dear, hush! It is—it is

Alice—And what does that mean, pray
tell ?
Rabbitt—
I thought I saw a motorcar
Parked near. to Taylor Hall;
I looked again, and saw the road
Was turned into a Mall,

Where gardened, clad as ; farmerettes,

Alice—Indeed, these rows of flowers,

most fair.

Chorus of Maidens (from distance )—

Beauty hath returned,
Old, yet ever new!

Come, sister, spade away;
Our-class flower is -blue.

Alice—I, too, thank heaven, have al-
ways abhorred the machine age. When
I was but weaned and saw my first auto-
mobile, I screamed ‘lustily.

Rabbitt—

“O murder !-What-is that, papa ?

My child, it is a motorcar,

A most ingenious toy! ;

Designed to captivate and charm,

Much rather than arouse alarm. ...
Alas! ©The ingenious toy no longer

by some ultra-aesthétic souls to anni-
hilate all beauty. But—lo! Here comes

But though with books embowered,

Something made me shirk.

Rabbitt and Alice—A gmotorcar !

Maiden—

The cause was the morning

truck;

Until this ear-sore was rémoved,
Aesthetics were in bad luck.
Rabbitt and Alice—Hear, hear!
Maiden—

But the Board of .Directors assembled,
“When Liberty’s form stood in view,”

Decided, in voices that trembled,

That, Motor, the brunt was on you!

Chorus of Directors—

News from Other Colleges

An Open Question
“America’s youth-“goes to. college for
reasons other than those for which the
college was intended, particularly to gain
social prestige,” said Dr. )
land Angell, president of Yale Univer-
sity, at the annual dinner of the Colgate

James Row-

Alumni.

“Our colleges suffer from an excess of
social prestige,” he declared, “which con-
stitutes a very complex problem.”

Dr. Angell claimed that hundreds of
students have been drawn into college

who have no rightful place there, and
who have come only for the social pres-

tige which is acknowledged as a flagrant
enticement. 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.



Pupils in Manners Campaign
At Princeton High School



Special to The New York Times.

Princeton, N. J., Feb. 15.—A -“good
marners campaign” is to open at Prince-
ton High School on Monday, according
to an arinouncement today from the Stu-

have as its aim the development of a
spirit of courtesy in the school.
More--than—onehundred=posters with
appropriate slogans are-to be hung about
the school. Assembly talks, home-room
discussions and other features have been
planned.—New. York Times.



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. York, Philadelphia, St. |

Louis, CiseHinNts, Chicago and Boston.”
