FEBRUARY 28,19‘i9 No. 4 Wherein The .Mujority $ufiers Because of the Acts of n Few One would think it hardly necessary in an engineering college, where, on the average, students are just about out of their teens, that attention should be called to the matter of proper behavior in the regular student assem- blies. Yet such behavior is not exactly all that could be desired. Last week in particular, though the condition is one of an accumulating degree of seriousness, many students made themselves guilty of putting on their coats in plain sight of the speaker, stumbling around either on the hal» eony or the main floor, and then leaving before the lec— ture was completed. Happily, this article is addressed only to a very small minority, since the ofl‘enders are not numerous. How- ever, considerable disturbance is created even when only a few students are guilty of the offense. Most of all, such behaxdor on the part of a few in the audience is par~ ticularly distracting to the speaker, and is for from be- ing complimentary to him. He naturally leaves the In- stitute with an opinion which does not do us justice. Any disorderly demonstration, however slight, on the part of a student, immediately marks him as one of poor breeding. it reflects on his home training, on his per— sonal character. It shows him up to his fellow students as being discourteous, uninunnerly, egotistical. Right in that truth lies the elimination of the unpleasantry. If the Well—1,1ehuved majority will frown upon any and all ung‘iinlleniurfi‘y acts, and voice its disapproval to the of- fenders, the problem automaticaly disappear. HighmPre source Study The poor student who delays his work until the last few days of the semester has long been the object of profes— sional excoriation. . . . This student turns in all required work, a trifle late, perhaps slightly condensed. but practically always intact. The reward? He is lucky to rate more than the tradi— tional “D.” Often his results are of a higher quality than those 01' the student who is content to remit the assignments as per schedule. Many til it is of at least average rank.- ing, The semestci guides, however, have never been known to inspire the recipient to greater endeavors. Why should the so—rullcd dilettante student he verbally luinmcd by unanimous faculty opinion? Regarding him as though he were purely 21 laboratory specimen, why doesn’t he deserve the highest grades? in the commercial world the high-pressure worker who can turn out even ordinary work is always suitablly rc- warded. It's the man capable of quantity production on short notice who is in domnnd. He who can outline a selling campaign over night, or design a building, or write :1 novel, is a valued man. Therefore the student who is capable of turning out the some s work in two days should be regarded with awe. Phi Beta Kappa should be proud to honor him as one of its own. Such a student demonstrates his caliber by his actionsv—The Dally lowzin.

From his writings one would be led to believe that Tm: Beta 327i stands for high scholarship alone. But such is not the ease; selection is made on the basis of scholarship, character, activ- ities, and personality. High scholar- ship places e man on the “eligible" list—his character, activities, and personality determine whether he is selected or not. In the second place, J. H. claims that all honoraries at Armour are cor- rupt {or words to that efi‘eet). Now where, we should like to ask, could J. K. have gotten all of this inside inn formation—for as we understand it, anything pertaining to the final se- lection of a. certain. eligible men is considered as, and kept a chapter secret. And how, if he did not have this information, dared J. H. de- nounce all honorarien at Armour? We four that J. H. has laid (himself open to the criticism of talking or rather writing on a subject about which he knows practically nothing. Possibly this is due form since he frankly states in closing that he is merely “endeavoring to take the viewpoint. of an outider.” Evidently, from the tone of his edi- torial «l. H. would like to see at Al'— mour an honorary which would se- lect men on the basis of scholarship only. This certainly would he the ideal way to honor high scholarship. But why should the existing honors cries, 11nd particularly Tau Beta Pi, be denounced for having their own standards of selection? HENRY CHRISTlANSEN, ’29. Eiogmnhy of flame Monies. Trellis Weir lies? dunno of? Activities ’l‘wo long years have elapsed since Dr. Louis Celestin Isicni‘n addressed the present upper classroom and alum— ni of Armour institute, for the last time, prior to his sailing for Berna, Switzerland However, his wonderful magnetic personality and friendli« ness continue to live on in the hearts and memories ot‘ students and facnl: ty. The struggling lower classmen are unconsciously imhued with his spirit of loyaltv and fraternity which is passed on from class to class. And with us all lingers Dr. Mcnin’s advo- cation of comradeship to our fellow— man. Dr. Monin has been with the Ar— mour Institute for thirty~four years and was appreciated as teacher, dean, and leader, lie was born in the French part of Switzerland in 1868. Having attended the public schools of that country, he completed the Gym» nasium Course at St. Gall, Switzer- land. After a normal course, prepar- ing for a teacher in the secondary schools, he obtained in 1878, his di- ploma as teacher in both the Literary— Historical and the Scientific Mathe— matical High School courses. In 1878, Dean Moan was a stu- dent of Philosophy and Philology at the University of Leipzig. The fol— lowing nine years saw him as a stir dent at Zurich, Principal of a High School in the Canton Glarus, Switzera land, a student and tutor at Milan, Italy, again a. student at the Univer- sity of Zurich. and a student at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. In 1888, Prof. Monin come to America, accepting a position as teacher of Modern Languages in the University School and also in the Harvard School of Chicago. At the W .
