That article published in yesterday m orning’s Statesm an w as highly m is­ leading in su g g e stin g any serious con­ troversy between the U niversity board o f regents and the city com m ission in regard to the paving in front of the Y. M. C. A., w as the substance o f a statem ent made by Mayor Wooldridge to a Texan reporter yesterday: “The affair has been am icably settled to the com plete satisfaction o f both par­ ties involved,” said the m ayor in e x ­ “The com­ plaining the situation. m ission has entered into an agreem ent with the board of regents, whereby the city pays for the paving in front of the U niversity building, and in ex ­ the U niversity change agreed to a tw enty-year lease of 500 feet o f U niversity lands at the dam site. The cost o f the paving to be borne by the city will am ount to sub­ stan tially $8000, but the com m ission was perfectly w illing to enter into the bargain on that basis. However, when one of the regents suggested th at the city stand the additional^ cost o f paving in front of the Y. M. C. A., we thought the m atter was being car­ ried a trifle too far. Upon a m ost peaceful discussion o f the m atter, the regents withdrew the last request and acceded to our position. The contract has been signed and the affair is now a closed incident.” for which existin g between Mayor Wooldridge said that the re­ lations city council and the regents have alw ays been and still are m ost friendly, and that he regretted any reports of con­ troversies and dissensions. the U N I V E R S I T Y ANNOUNCEMENTS Gov.

We value a college education because it teaches us how to live. If we go to a university for four years and do not learn how to become real citizens, how to take our place in the affairs of state, we fail to get the most out of school life. In the University of Texas, where the honor system is in vogue, and where the affairs of the student body are han­ dled by a student government, we are given a good oppor­ If we take tunity to train ourselves for true citizenship. advantage of our opportunities and give attention to every m atter of importance th a t comes before us as a student body, we should be well prepared to take our place in real life when we finish our collegiate education. The president of the Students’ association has called a meeting of the men students for 12:30 today. He is not justified in calling this meeting unless he has a m atter of importance to present. We happen to know th a t he is ju sti­ fied. You may not be advised as to what it is, but you are here and now advised th a t it is of vital importance to the I n i vers I tv of Texas. Some action is going to be taken th a t will reflect credit or discredit on us as a student body. If you stay away, you will be shirking your duty.

Rut, if you are too indifferent to come, THEN K E E P YOUR MOUTH SHUT. The man who will refuse to come to one of these meetings, and then be mean enough to criti­ cise the action taken by the students assembled IS NOT A TRUE TEXAN? DR.

Mr. Tleleven, of the school of business training, has received a letter from Prof. R. S. Butler, professor of business adminis­ tration and lecturer in the school of journalism at the University of Wisconsin, acknowledging re­ ceipt of some copies of The Daily Texan. He says: “The copy of the Texas daily reached me yesterday. Let me say that it is what I call a good college paper. It is exceedingly well w ritten and contains no lifted m atter—university news It is almost my ideal of only. what a university daily ought to be. Certainly the Texas boys are to be congratulated.” We appreciate this compliment and thank Prof. Butler for the suggestions it contains. We a p ­ preciate it all the more in view of the fact th a t Wisconsin Uni­ versity now supports two twelve- page dailies which rank high in think the college world. We they are hard to beat. We are trying to print a real college paper. We do not expect nor hope to compete with the general newspapers. If we can give the student body a t Texas all the news about their own University and keep them rea­ sonably well informed about the happenings at other Texas col­ leges, together with the more important events at the leading institutions of higher learning elsewhere, we shall be satisfied. We shall not be content with anything Jess than this, however. “Service” is our motto. We want to be a real factor for good in the University community. CAN THE AMERICAN COL­ LEGE STUDENT WRITE? It would seem not. Such is the opinion, a t least, of Freder­ ick Lynch, of The C hristian Work and Evangelist, (New York). Mr. Lynch a t t r i b u t e s this failure to the curriculum in our institutions. He say s; “Th* whole tendency of our colleg e these is directly away from studies th a t give one the power to express himself in correct and classic style.” He praises the English Col­ lege, saying: “One has only to compare the editorials in the English papers with those in American papers to see what I mean. We simpjy have no editors in America— one or two exceptions—who can write such editorials as appear weekly on the London Spectator, The Saturday Review, The Na­ tion, The Economist, The Brit­ ish Weekly, T h e Christian World, to say nothing of the daily papers.” He says we are too commer­ cialized. We are training our­ selves to make money, not to live. “The simple reason th a t Eng­ lish college graduates can write is th a t they have been trained in the classics. But the d rift is all away from the classics in our colleges. We are su b stitu t­ ing courses in life insurance for philosophy, and lectures on com­ the merce and banking translation of Homer and Horace into English. We tu rn out good engineers, but one of them — juite eminent, too— from one of our great universities asked me, myself, * once, ‘Who was Shel­ ley?’ ” for rhetoric. Its revival “Nothing can Air. Lynch would solve the problem in a very simple way. We wonder if his rem dy is prac­ tical. Read w hat he says: replace this triet classic training in teach­ ing boys to w rite correct Eng­ lish. in America, vit h our disdain of culture and our acclamation of the hustling Iualdies, is far off. The two things wre could do in our col­ leges are these: F irst, require a weekly composition from every student for four y ears; these ompositions to be carefully cor­ rected by com petent instructors Extem poraneous in w riting would greatly help. Let subjects be announced before­ hand, but compel the students to write for an hour on the sub­ ject with no assistance from books. Along with weekly w rit­ ing the students of our American colleges should be encouraged— sometimes they should not be compelled—to read the great m asters of the English tongue. It is alm ost a disgrace that a man should leave a col­ lege who had not read Cnaucer, Milton, Shakespeare, Words­ worth, S h e l l e y , Browning, Carlyle, Ruskin* and Tennyson, the other to say nothing of g r e a t poets, essayists, and prophets. And they should be read until their g reat and lofty d i c t i o n passes i n t o one’s thought.” I wonder if W hat do you, as a student in our American college, think of this plan? A weekly composi­ tion from every student for four years!
