Appreciate
apportunities Offered

(li'ten we find prominently displayed in the-col-
umns of our daily newspapers that some alumnus
has bequeathed to his or her school a sum of
money, established perhaps as an endowment, in
appreciation for the preparation and opportunity
that school had given to him or her to become a
successful citizen, measured not only in monetary
value but also in the greater ability of apprecia»
tion of all values that become the property of an
educated person.

As the student wanders through the corridors
of his school, enters the rooms and thc labora—
tories and seeks knowledge and information in
the library, consults and receives the advice and
assistance of faculty and deans, and sees the in—
fluence the school is bearing upon him as he
progresses he must have stopped and asked him»
self who has offered and made available to him
all this cultural machinery?

Surely it is not through any eii'orts of his own.
At some time someone had had the grand vision.
and the ability, and the willingness, to establish
in the community an opportunity for generations
to come, to obtain the knowledge and information
that would to them be the most vital if they were
to lead a life of leadership and accomplishment.
There was no personal profit in his thoughts,
neither was there the feeling of helping those who
had been of particular value or assistance to him,
in other words-mun obligation, but it was the
spirit of the man who sees an opportunity to
make the world in which he lives a little bit bet-
lcr to those that are to follow.

But a school can not exist indefinitely upon the
generosity of one man or a group of men, so that
the institution must look forward to its alumni to
support it to some extent. Isn’t it an opportunity
for the successful alumnus of today, the student
of yesterday, to offer to his alma mater some
thing that will give to the student of tomorrow
the same opportunity that he had? It is this op—
portunity that prompts the alumnus to bequeath
to his alma mater endowments and scholarships
about which we read in the papers.

Armour has been conspicuous by the absence
of‘ such notices in these papers and why? Has
one of the greatest engineering schools in the
country failed to give to her students an educa—
tion second to none? Certainly not if we record
the innumerable and successful alumni of this in
stitution. Perhaps in its service giving through
the years Armour has failed to duly impress upon
its students the opportunities offered. in many
colleges from the time the student enters the in»
stitution to the time he leaves the fact has been

The Rescue
A Senior Arch—some Herpicidc,
Those two met one day.
A little down—some Herpicide,
A board well on its way.

Some Engineers~a shaving kit,
Friend Cheatham in the air.
Some Architects—some Civils too,
Joined force to save the hair.

The Engineers—with tender hearts,
Listened to their pleas.
The Architects—a happy lot,
Had saved the nest of fleas.

This week our good friend and supporter, our Pal
"lnky Dicky," has bestowed oodles and oodles of verse
upon us, dear readers, and with your kind consent, we

We do not advocate that the professors give
an impassioned plea to each class every month
or so, but we do believe that students should be
impressed with the fact someone else is paying
for their education, at least in part.

sidcration, but. it seems logical that
one who persists in subjecting him—
self to physical incupability (drunk-
eness) can do just as good u job of it
at a table as at a bar. The congress—
men had hettcr devote their eii‘orts
to the more important phases of the
subject and leave the individual’s
charwiter to the individual. In spite
of legislation, little or no respect will
be held for the over—indulgent.

SEVERAL WEEKS AGO a com-
mittee was appointed for the sole
purpose of enforcing the wearing of
green “pots” by the. freshmen. How-
ever, in spite of the existence of this;
committee, thcrc are more violations
of the set tradition now than there
were at any time before. Why
docun’t this group fulfill the duties
it was intended to fulfill? Evidently,
follows, the student body is not go-
ing to play the part of the tattle-tale
in reporting violations. You are go—
ing to have to play the part of the
detective. Let's go!
