VOLUME IX.
FRESHMEN RECEIVE
Armistice Day
Armistice! What a thrill quivers
through our very being at the mere
mention of it! It brings to mind
the horror and terribleness of war,
sacrifice, pain and anguish, but also
patriotism, bravery and finally
a
feeling of peace.
With each succeeding Armistice
Day, we are incited by recollections
of heroic deeds of valor to "carry
on" as never before, and thus remain
true to those who "sleep in Flanders
Field."
Such a feeling was instilled deep
within the heart of every L. C. girl
as she listened to the impressive
program at the First Baptist church
of LaGrange this past Armistice
Day.
Legionnaire Richard B. Russell, Jr
of Winder, Ga., was the speaker of
the hour.
In very impressive words he revealed the world feeling o f peace.
Namely, that we want to abolish all
feeling of bitterness and antagonism
which war arouses and in its place
establish a feeling of world brotherhood and peace. In speaking of the
American Legion, Legionnaire Russell said, "It is not the purpose of
the Buddies of the Legion to retain
a feeling of antagonism, but rather
to keep alive the patriotism manifested during the war."
Very appropriate musical numbers
were rendered.

28th" was quite an important day; |

GLADYS GOSSIPER
Dear Editor:
This has been a period of unrest
for all of us, according to myself and
inmates of the College. But having
the faith of one who will eat fried
liver, I waited feverishly and listened earnestly until I learned that it
was not to be a tragedy after all.
The veil of depression was drawn
aside, when a simple little yellow
leaflet transformed one who has for
the past few days been looking as if
she were substituting for Atlas, into
,ier usual animated self.
Nor is the above episode the only
result of my snooping expeditions.
At one time I even considered noting my little observations on Mr.
Bailey's pink slips, under the division of causes and aspects, for historical accuracy is certainly necessary. However, I concluded that
anything worth recording was worth
remembering, and I trust I will not
distort the facts utterly. Just this
question right here. Maybe I was
misinformed, but does Frances Blackburn really control the telephones
around the institution?
I heard
somebody shouting to her the other
night, "Frances, somebody wants
you at your telephone."
I hear also that visitors of the
College whether Shriners, fond mamas, Cambrian performers or mere
gentlemen acquaintances are entertained graciously. If it isn't tinted
salad by way of dainty nourishment,
it's an impromptu skit featuring the
nightwatchman and others by way
of amusing entertainment.
Another form of recreation as far
as Martha Burton is concerned consists in display of tonsorial art. The
womanly glory of many young freshmen has been clipped at her hands.
Keep it up, Martha, and you will
bankrupt Mr.
Rice—everybody's
getting windblown.
Again I ask you to pardon my bewilderment, but is it customary and
compulsory that persons seated at
one table should all break bread together when that particular table
happens "to be out?" Isn't visiting
permitted? I have been told of a
group who are very patriotic to sit
in their regular chairs whether at
their regular table or not.
This most recent happening comes
to my mind. Wasn't it a relief to
learn from the very lips of the much
congratulated baby doll that she had
managed to resist the manifold
pleas of Perry for another week-end
at least. He had seen her as she was
clad in her long white garments,
brandishing a noisy rattler, accompanied by the teacher of History,
I'm sure he would have been purple
with envy and green with jealousy.
But since he merely had an account
of it, ten to one he deemed it "cute."
For the benefit of gaining bits of
news for the future, I must rush
frantically into the hall where a
large group of girlies are discussing
something in muffled tones.
I remain,
Yours for a dependable nightwatchman,
Gladys Gossiper.

insignificant and unnecessary filling such a position for a few hours
in a school room, but oh, what a relief it is when the bell rings to
"turn out" and you can leave with
the consolation that you don't have
a room full of kids to contend with
every day. Our teachers on the hill
and all in this profession are given
much more sympathy and admiration from us for we are beginning
to realize just what awaits us when
we embark on our teaching career.

FRESHMAN NOTES
Freshman initiation is a thing of
the past. The Junior-Freshman Wedding has been solemnized. The Juniors have selected their Freshman
sisters. At last we Freshmen feel
that we are really a part of L. C.
We no longer have to be chaperoned
and we have actually learned the
walking limits.
On Tuesday afternoon after the
Junior-Freshman Wedding our class
was organized.
The following officers were elected:
President—Rebecca Hart
Vice-Pres.—Marjorie Dooley
Secretary—Winifred Adams
Treasurer—Thelma Dunbar
Y. W. C. A. Rep.- Mary Johnson.
Student Council Rep.- Emily Smith
Willie Chapman
We elected Miss Neenah Woods to
be our class sponsor. She very
kindly accepted and under her leadership we are expecting the Freshman class to go over the top.
Thirty-nine more days until Christmas. My! Will it ever come? This
is the cry from the Freshman class.
We are gaining every day.

COLLEGE DEGREES
In a recent address before some
5,000 Utah educators, Dr. Frederick
Rand Rogers of New York City said
that the A. B. degree given by
American colleges today merely indicates that the undergraduate has
agreed with his professors during
four years at college.
Dr. Rogers
further intimated that scholastic
grades as applied in the educational
system of America are merely a
substitute for the "dunce cap" and
the "whip." Colleges worship marks
he said.
Grades, the doctor stated, make a
battleground of a classroom, and are
a disgrace to the scientific education
and must be done away with.
The
highest grades as a general rule, go
to the student who is the best "ape"
to the one who can best imitate his
teacher.
Some students make a study of
instructors, and after one term under
them, are able to analyze their weaknesses and adjust their attitude accordingly. Many undergraduates do
not choose their courses with a view
of getting the greatest possible good
from them. They often neglect the
very subject they need most, because
they dread this professor or they desire to get under that one so as to
be able to loaf for a term.
There is truth in the statement of
Dr. Rogers, that some colleges make
a sort of idol of grades, and to a
certain extent this is true of Mercer.
A few, who are conscientiously trying to acquire an education, not
merely a degree, make the best use
of their time, by study and research.
On the other hand the majority of
undergraduates in our American colleges are seeking a degree, and not
that wisdom which goes with a degree. Sure, they attend classes, but
that is all. Class attendance is
compulsory, except at a very few
schools where those in charge have
been far-sighted enough to try a
plan of voluntary attendance.
Before each examination, the shiftless student crams for hours, and often makes bcvter grades than the
one who has used his time to advantage. Yet some teachers make no
distinction between the two types
They grade solely on these final
tests, with the result that the two
classes of students make about the
same marks, but these marks are
only symbols, they cannot stand for
what each type has really accomplished.
The "yes" man gets his
sheepskin, and so does the student
and this is unfair to the man who
wants something besides a degree.
Some plan should be devised to remedy this common evil which is so
prevalent in our university system
today.—Mercer Cluster.
