For the prepetuation of the organization
seven juniors were tapped

A secret meeting of the organization
has been called for the
secret hour (seven o'clock' at the
secret meeting place (Ramsay
109) tonight. The group is limited
by the constitution to activity
after the last of mid-semester
grades are posted. That ruling was
enacted so that the group could
not be active except for their
final festival at the end of school.
T]he motto of the group is
"Thou key chain shalt not jingle."
There are no officers and the Nucleus
is established for the purpose
of organizing the groups
from year to year. Plans for the
final festival will be discussed in
the secret meeting tonight.
Aero Tourney
Finals Sunday
The final competitions
Auburn Aero Clubs troph
be held at the local airpo:
Sunday morning. A number o*
lots completed events last S
day. but due to adverse weath
conditions it was considered ad'
visable to postpone the remainder
of the events until this week-end.
At the conclusion of the e-vents
last Sunday. Bill Callaway,
a Beta Kappa led a slight lead in
the point score over Lee Holla-way,
Phi Delta Theta. Ali Lumpkin
and Bill Page held third and
fourth places respectively. The
margin between CJallaway and
Hollaway is small and the pilots
competing Sunday will be flying
to oust these two from the winners
positions.
Lt. B. M. Cornell, head professor
of Aeronautical Engineering
and an ex-Navy pilot, and Pete
Burnett of Tampa, Fla., another
experienced pilot are the judges
of the contest.
The purpose of the trophy, that
was donated to the club by Ralph
P. Swaby, manager of the Columbus,
Ga., Airport and supervising
instructor of the Aero Club, is to
promote the development of precision
flying among the student
pilots of the organization. Active
direction of the club, which ranks
as one of the largest and most active
of the collegiate flying clubs,
is in the hands of Jimmie Brown
and Jack Steppe.

3AGE TWO THE AUBURN PLAINSMAN FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1938
Plainsman Editorials
EXPLANATION I S DUE O F CAUSE
FOR HOLDING RE-ELECTION
Let it be understood h e r e and n ow that
t h i s paper has not accused o r i n t i m a t e d in
any manner that anq of the candidates
had anything to do w i t h any of t h e crooked
work which took place in the recent
election. It can be t r u t h f u l l y said that no
comment from any of t h e s t u d e n t body has
come to t h e paper accusing any of t h e candidates
of dirty work.
I t is a fact that "dirty politics" are and
have been practiced in practically every e-lection
held on the A u b u r n campus. It is
an evil which by all means deserves correction.
It happened that some of the
" d i r t y politics" were quickly detected and
"aired" in t h e past election. Not only were
t h e y found and "aired" but the finders
had the intestinal fortitude to press the
m a t t e r of h a v i n g a "clean up". No possible
doubt as t h e advisability of such action
could be e n t e r t a i n ed by any student-
It is understood that it would be possible
for some "small brain" person to assume
the idea that t h e winning candidates
in the two positions contested were involved
in t h e m a t t e r s which precipitated the
fraud that was detected. However, no such
case was proven or even pointed out by
j t h e evidence obtained by the contestants-
So let it be understood that t h e contention
of "dirty politics" lies in the election
action rather than in the candidates' action.
This provided an excellent opportun
i t y to attempt to clean up some of the
Auburn "dirty politics." It is unfortunate
t h a t one never took t h e t r o b u l e to s t a r t the
work before. It is hoped that the parents
of such evils will have learned a lesson
and that the old and elusively unfair syst
em of politicing and holding elections will
be revised and improved to a much greater
extent than they stand at t h e present
time.
NEW SOCIAL RULE BRAND THE
STUDENTS AS ADOLESCENTS
If the Plainsman is to be the Voice of
t h e Students, we must say a word in condemnation
of t h e n ew regulations concerni

For several years A u b u r n students have

life almost entirely to the students. They
were proud of the comparison of conditions
in Auburn and in other schools.
But now, without warning or apparent
cause, their freedom has been revoked-
They are being forced to watch the clock
in their play like a slothful laborer in his
work. They are being treated in a manner
that most of them were not even treated
by their parents during high schools days. #
They are being punished like guilty
children by being sent to bed early.
First, the college should realize that
students are men and women rather than
irresponsible kids. Second, they should
realize that all of college is not books and
lectures. Third, they should realize that
college should fit students with a practical
education for living. Last, they should realize
that the eleven o'clock rule will accomplish
nothing other than the propo-gation
of ill will on the part of the stu-•
dents toward the college.
If this were some military prep school
or girl's school where parents send children
to keep them separate from the opposite
sex, the whole matter would take on a
different light. But Auburn is a co-educational
college j where men and women
are thrown together for the purpose of
learning how to get along with each other.
Parents who send their offspring
here know that fact and if they did not
approve of it they would send their offspring
elsewhere.
Thus, there are three things to be considered,
the purpose of the college, the
will of the students, and the will of the
parents. If the college has as its purpose
the preparation of whole men and women,
there should be no such rule. If students
of college age have sense enough not to
want or need such a rule, it should not
exist. Parents have demonstrated their
disapproval of such a rule by supporting
Auburn. There should be no such a rule.
COMMENDATION IS DUE THE
COUNCIL ON NEW PROJECT
A word of commendation is due the In-terfraternity
Council for their sponsorship
of the coming Mother and Dad's Day-
It was decided at a recent meeting that
Sunday, May 1, should be set aside as a
time for all the students to invite their
parents down for a day in Auburn. An
elaborate program for their entertainment
is being planned by the sponsors.
The success of the day will depend on
the student's getting his parents down for
the short visit. Parents should be urged
to attend for few of them make frequent
visits to the campus and few are acquainted
with campus activity in Auburn. We
commend the Council on their project and
urge the students to invite their parents
to Auburn.

"The human mind remains a dark continent,
and our people are swayed by propaganda,
not the facts. Civilization is calling
for pioneers in mental efficency. If our
institutions of higher learning can furnish
these there s a great future for them. If
not, these institutions are doomed." La-
Fayette College's President William Mather
Lewis points the collegiate road to
success.
"A liberal education tends to modify
our political, religious and social prejudice.
In this way a college education
should put us in a position where we can
control our prejudices instead of being
controlled by them- This is the main purpose
of a liberal education." University of
California's Prof. E. C. Bellquist points
to one of the reasons behind his new course
on propaganda.
"The young men and women who are in
colleges and universities today are the
ones who will have to bear the burden of
actual warfare, fill the trenches, man the
battleships and pay the taxes of increasing
public debt." S. P. Squyres, Veterans
of Foreign Wars leader, asks collegiate support
for a keep-us-out-of war program.
"If I had enough money of my own, I'd
buy a little college in the sticks where I
could develop football teams without interference
from faculty or alumni," Jumping
Joe Savoldi, University of Notre
Dame All-American, has a formula for
making gridiron greats.
"Unselective, mass education is in no
sense a substitute for the more highly
specialized instruction and training of the
gifted indviduals n each generaton.'' Co-lumba
University's Prof. W. C. Bagley,
however, does want individuals trained to
meet changing situations.
Members of the Junior Class:
Through the medium of the Plainsman I
should like to apologize to my opponent and
the members of the junior class for the illegal
ballots that were cast in the recent election.
I did neither instigate the casting of these
ballots nor did I consent to their being cast.
Apparently they were votes of friends who
were a bit overanxious on election day.
A number of students have asked me why
I was opposed to another election. To many
students a re-election seems to be a fair and
square solution in the editor's race and in the
social committee contest. First, I was never
defeated after even the contested ballots
were thrown out. After the election committee
checked and rcounted and threw out the
contested ballots I remained in the lead.
The second reason why I was opposed to
a re-election is that I feel that the publicity
which" came out while I was away on the inspection
trip will act against me. There were
several implications directed at me which I
think were biased and unfair. The implications
were for a definite purpose, and I feel
sure that they did much to influence the sentiment
among students, just as they were designed
to do.
No doubt, these writings will put me to
some handicap in the second election. The
Executive Cabinet has assumed that "counter-
publicity" would compensate for this, but
I know that it will take far more than that
to rectify my status in the eyes of the students.
I feel sure that many of my supporters
will swap horses because they believe that
I was behind the illegal ballots cast.
I hope that the students will discount the
intimidating statements that were published
in the Plainsman. I had nothing whatsoever
to do with the fraudulent votes, and I again
say that I regret their being' cast.

Talk About The Town Collegiate Review
BY JACK STEPPE — R. L. MUNDHENK
It seems . . . . that someone around the
office is playing a game of "cut-cut, who's
got the scissors!" It was news to us that the
cutting had gone on until it was called to our
attention after the paper came out. It was
really quite unnecessary as what we had to
say would have had little effect on the current
controversy. And anyway we think
this' whole thing is getting a bit more than
ludicrous. Even if the charges are true, we
fail to see how ten men can influence the
opinions of two thousand. Surely there are
at least another ten men on the campus who
have gumption enough to stand on their
own opions. The main fault behind the whole
discussion is that a large majority of the
student body are too lazy or too feeble-minded
to express their opinions and some that
do haven't the intestinal fortitude to back
them up. You may not agree with Workman
but at least he had the courage of his convictions
to stick by his guns. We believe it would
be a good idea for the editor to give the accused
organization a space equal to that given
Workman so that they may present their
side of the story. And then may we hope
we have heard the last of it!
Evil note . . . . is that the election promises
will have to be listened to all over again.
This one should be a knock-down-drag-out-affair
however and perhaps the electioneering
will be interesting for a change. But we
doubt it.
Optimist . . . was last defined a sthe executive
council president who announced that
the election dispute would be settled to the
satisfaction of all the candidates. To that
we might add so also.is the man who opens
a gift shop in Scotland.
There ought to be a law against such
shows as that of yesterday. Its only saving
grace was W. C. Fields who is a show all
by himself. Some one ought to form a AS-FPOSALTFCS.

Society for Protection of Students Against

GRIEF
Across the Plains of Lockechee
Rode an Indian maid alone
To a mound that was still unsodded,
And she lead a riderless roan.
Her head was not bowed by sorrow,
Her stolidness true until death;
She came there to grieve for her lover
With an Indian chant on her breath.
Chief Strong-Heart the warriors called him,
And the roan, fleet swifter-than-wind,
(And they both must wander together
In the hunt that never ends.)
Straight to the mound she led him,
And as she approached it she said,
"Bear well this warrior, my loved one
Whom the Gods forbade me to wed.
Not a flinch as her blade pierced him deeply,
As his life flowed thick and red.
"Wait, she cried, "Bear us both together
In the land of the Never-Dead."
Herbert Milton, 1938

Almost everything that is great has been
done by youth."—Disraeli
What a cloud of discouragement has encircled
the youth of today. So many of us
are thinking that all that can be done in the
world has been done, and we are growing
into a finished world.
Recently W. J. Cameron delivered a radio
discourse on "Misquoted Youth," and to oul
way of thinking, this talk was the most enlightening
treatise on youth that has been
presented in several decades. The quiddity
of his talk is that America's youth of today
has the greatest opportunity of any generation.
We have clipped a part of the speech,
and we feel sure that you'll get the same conviction
from the talk that we did.
i
In discussing how youth may be encouraged
Cameron said, "Tell him he was fortunately
cast by birth into a land where everything
he has in him comes into full circle. Tell
him he lives among a people where men grow
big doing big things, or doing lesser services
in a big way—a country that has only
six per cent of the world's population and
seventy-one per cent of the world's automobiles;
six per cent of the world's population
ahd fifty-two per cent of the world's
telephones; six per cent of the world's population
and forty-four per cent of the world's
radios; six per cent of the world's population
and thirty per cent of the world's railroads;
six per cent of the world's population and
double the life insurance of the rest of the
world; more college opportunities than anywhere
else. Tell him that this is a country
where men with no capital but their hands,
their overalls, and an IDEA, and an urge to
serve their generation have always had a wide
field, and never so wide as now.
FLASH—Mrs. Dionne hit the dozen marker
Monday when a seven and a half pound
baby boy was born to her.
NEWS INTERNATIONAL—It looks as
though Japan has stumbled coming down the
home stretch. China has turned the tide, and
to us, this is good news. We had about given
up hope for the Chinese when the reports
came to this country that the Chinese have
been slaughtering Japanese troops in wholesale
lots in the last few battles.
China has a reserve group of 400,000 newly
trained men that it plans to put in the
fields within the next week or so.
China's comeback will no doubt prolong
the war, but the results in the end will likely
be more favorable for the rest of the world.
SATIRE—The much talked of traffic light
must have been ordered from Egypt or some
far away land.
NEWS NATIONAL—We hear that the A-merican
Standard Bible Committee of the
International Council of Religious Education
is making progress in revising the Standard
American version of the Bible. The complete
revision will take about five years, but it
will embody "the best results of modern
scholarship as to the meaning of the Scriptures,"
according to the committee that is
handling the material. The new Bible will be
presented in English diction designed for
public and private worship, at the same time
preserving "those qualities which have give)
to the King James Version a supreme place
in English literature," according to the committee.
NEWS RAMBLES — The Auburn baseball
team is having trouble getting started, but we
still maintain that Auburn has the making?
of another fine team, and the boys will come
through—The showdown on the TVA has
caused Roosevelt and the monied interests to
lock horns again—We hear that Coach Jimmy
Hitchcock is getting along fine in his new
league. We hope that his baseball endeavors
will meet with as much success as his football
endeavors did—New York has enacted
an anti-lynching law which provides for prison
terms for persons involved in mob violence—
Max Schemling says that he is disgusted
with the way he has been shoved
around in America, and we cannot blame
him—The Alabama gubernatorial tree is laden
with ripe fruit, and it is only a question
of weeks until the people reach out and pluck

Auburn Beats Troy
In Two Game Series
The Auburn Plainsmen belat
the Troy Teachers in the first
game of a 2-game series 12 to 9,
last Wednesday on Drake Field.
The Teachers staged a rally in the
closing innings but it fell short.
The Troy team hit the Auburn
pitchers hard, obtaining 8 hits.
The Plainsmen were not lacking
in home runs and hits of their
own. There were 5 circuit blows
and 12 hits scored on Liles, the
Troy pitcher, who lasted the entire
game. Morgan, and Happer
collected 2 homers and Bazemore
one. Kenmore and Hayes hit safely
twice apiece with Bazemore
and Happer getting 3 hits including
their home runs.
The Troy Teachers knocked pitcher
Swindle out of the box in the
7th. inning with a deluge of base
hits and almost overcame the 6
run lead amassed by the Tigers
earlier in the game. Charlie Kil-patrick
came in as relief pitcher
for Swindle and held the Teachers
in the 8th, but ran into trouble
in the 9th. Kilpatrick tightened
and finished out the game.
Loose fielding by the Tigers
was the main cause of the 9 Troy
runs.
Two home runs, 14 hits, 13
bases on balls, 5 errors and a
very big 7th inning last Thursday
enabled the Tigers to beat the
Troy teachers 15 to 9 in the second
straight game.
There was no doubt about who
would win the game until the
9th inning when Kilpatrick weakened.
He straightened out however
in time to hold the Trojans in
check and finish the game.
Diamond started the game and
pitched until the 7th when Kilpatrick
was called in to relieve
him. Pace Head, the diminutive
Troy hurler, was removed in the
7th also.
A grand total of 13 errors were
made by both teams and from the
looks of things from the sideline
one would think that miscues
were very much in style.'
Of the 14 Auburn hits Whitten,
Diamond, Bazemore, Riddle and
Kenmore reaped 10 of them, 2
apaiece.
For the Troy team Hanks Busby,
and Quimby did the major damage,
each getting 2 hits.
Ace Hurler
~~ 0/CM SvSlfiJDLE
AUBURAJ
Swindle is the ace of the Tiger
hurling staff, holding the No.
1 position of the pitchers. Last
season he won seven games and
lost none, and is expected to
continue his star performances
this year.
Inter-fraternity softball started
Thursday, March 31. Only two of
the four games scheduled that day
were played. This was probably
due to the fact that some of the
fraternities had not organized
their teams at that time. Since
j then interest has been growing,
and, barring wet weather, games
will be played as scheduled.
A majority of the games thus
far have resulted in one-sided
scores. Thursday Beta Kappa shut
out Alpha Psi 12 to 0, and Delta
Sig defeated Pi Kappa Phi, 9 to
2; Tuesday K. A. walloped Alpha
Gamma Rho, 11 to 1, and Kappa
Sig trounced S. P. E., 8 to 1. The
Pi K. A.'s took an exciting game
from the Sigma Nu's as they hit
hard in the first four" innings and
stopped a Sigma Nu rally late in
the game to win 6 to 4. Phi Delta
Theta won a 2 to 0 forfeit victory
over the Theta Kappa Nu's
to round out the competition.
Yesterday's games were postponed
until today because of the
wet weather.
The play-off has been tentive-ly
set to begin May 5. According
to Prof. E. B. Smith, it will be
most unique in that not only the
winners of the leagues will meet,
but also teams occupying second,
third, fourth and fifth places. This
type of play-off will take no longer
than the usual kind because
of the fact that five games can be
played at once on Bullard Field,
where all scheduled games are
played. The object is to give the
weaker teams a chance to score
more points on the big cup that
is to be awarded to the fraternity
amassing the largest total in intramural
athletics for the year.
The following teams comprise
'he four leagues.
League I—Beta Kappa, Alpha
Psi, A. T. O., Phi Kappa Tau, S.
A. E.,
League II.—Delta Sigma Phi,
Pi Kappa Phi, Lambda Chi, Theta
Chi, Sigma Chi.
League III.—Alpha Gamma
Rho, K. A., Phi Delta Theta, Theta
Kappa Nu, Sigma Pi,.
League IV—Pi K. A., Sigma Nu,
Kappa Sig, S. P. E., T. U. O.
Speaking Clinic
Is Had Here
Dr. Charles P. Weaver, Associate
Professor of English, conducts
a group public speaking
clinic each Monday evening from
7 to 9 on the third floor of Sam-ford
Hall.
At this time Dr. Weaver, with
the aid of the student who explains
his difficulty in speaking,
diagnoses the trouble. Together
they work out some particular
exercise as a remedy; for example,
the remedy for stage fright
or nervousness, the most common
ailment, is deep breathing. Dr.
Weaver explains that no one' is
able to be afraid while in the
process of breathing deeply.
Other common difficulties in
speaking are posture, gesticulation,
and the Organization of
the speech itself. For each of
these Dr. Weaver has his remedy
and cases where timid and self-conscious
students have become
easy and fluent speakers after
a few clinics are not uncommon.
Individual conferences with students
who desire additional attention
are held on Thursday afternoons
from 3 to 4 in Dr. Weaver's
office.
Of course, both the group and
the individual clinics were organized
primarily for students in
public speaking, but visitors are
always welcome and will receive
the same individual attention if
they so desire. Dr. Weaver estimates
that through these clinics
he has helped over 400 students
.this year.

Lambda Chi Installs
Chapter In Florida
The members of the Degree
Team of Omega Zeta of Lambda
Chi Alpha have just returned
from Lakeland, Florida, where
they installed Epsilon Xi Zeta at
Florida Southern University. This,
the ninetieth chapter of Lambda

At 4:30 p. m. April 2, the Degree
Team performed the formal
initiation ceremony at the Sorosis
Club on Lake Morton. Immediately
following the initiation ceremony
the installation banquet
was held at the New Florida Hotel.
More than two hundred guests
were present at this celebration.
Ed R. Bentley acted as toastmas-ter
and featured speakers were
Noel Sargent, Mickey Cochrane,

Hepburn Stars In
Show Here Sunday
A new challenge to the amusement-
seeking public's risibilities
(for the benefit of the freshmen,
this means laughter) on the motion
picture screen in "Bringing Up
Baby," fast-paced modern come
dy romance with Katherine Hepburn,
playing mad pranks as an
heiress animated with mischief
and Cary Grant in an equally bi
zarre but contrasting role as the
victim of her torments.
Miss Hepburn portrays an im
petuous society girl who always
gets what she wants, and wanting
Cary Grant, a staid and dignified
professor of zoology, she goes
after him and does her best to
break up his impending marriage
to his secretary.
Grant, however, has only one
interest in life, the completion of
the skeleton of a giant dinosaur,
at his museum. Miss Hepburn,
with the aid of a tame leopard,
entice him from his work, and
involves him in a flood of com
plications in which their exploits,
the leopard's escape and pursuit
over the Connecticut countryside,
a million-dollar bequest, a big
game hunter, Miss Hepburn's do
mineering aunt, a boastful Irishman
and a suspicious psychiatrist
are all tangled together in one
riotous piece of screen fare.
Grant's matrimonial plans and
his peace of mind are lost in the
shuffle, while Hepburn, with the
best of intentions, manages to
get into trouble with her dyna
mic prosecution of her romantic
campaign. The results are as disastrous
as they are entertaining.
The supporting cast includes
May Robson, Charlie Ruggles,
Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Catlett,
Fritz Feld, and Leona Roberts and
Virginia Walker, and "Asta", the
famous wire-haired terrier of "The
Thin Man."

Henry Fonda, George Brent and
Margaret Lindsay. Other noted
and popular players in the cast
include Fay Bainter, Donald Crisp
Richard Cromwell, Henry O'Neill,
John Littell and Spring Byington.
The picture was directed by William
Wyler from a screenplay by
Abem Finkel and Clements Ripley.
Miss Davis, who won the Academy
award as the best actress
in 1935, declares that this is the
best picture part she has ever had,
not excluding her work as the
slavey in "Of Human Bondage"
with Leslie Howard.
She is a wilful, spoiled, tem-pestous
young Dixie belle who
achieves the name of the wicked
Bibljb'ajl character Jezebel because
she defies Southern tradition.
She breaks hearts with
dashing unconcern. She smokes,
she prefers juleps to sherry—in
short she's a modern miss in an
old-fashioned setting.
She has two favorite suitors,
one a conservative young banker,
played by Mr. Fonda and the other
a handsome young rake, portrayed
by Mr. Brent.
The period is that if the great
yellow fever scourge in New Orleans
in the early 80's. Costumes
settings, dialogue and all the other
atmospheric conditions of that
day are said to be faithfully reproduced.
Previewers consider
"Jezebel" tops in 1938 entertainment.

Here In Library
An exhibit of 100 mounted
photographs, titled "British Architecture
of Today," is now on
display at the library of the
school of architecture and allied
arts and will be open to the
public through Saturday.
The collectoin is loaned by the
Royal Institution of British Architects
and is being sponsored in
this -country by the Association
of Collegiate Schools of Architecture
of which Auburn is a member.
The exhibition, acording to Prof.
E. Walter Burkhardt, shows a
decided trend toward modern ex-and
semipublic architecture. "As
a whole, however, conservative
Modern is used," he said.
"The most marked change from
precedent is noted in the extensive
use of brick. Outstanding examples
are the Surbiton Hospital;
New Victoria Cinema, London;
the Children's Hospital, London;
Martin's Bank, Limited; Leicester
Royal Masonic Hospital; Royal
Corinthian Yacht Club; Guildfird
Cathedral; Shakespear Memorial
Theatre; and Liverpool Cathedral.

of the production.
Five important speaking roles,
fifteen minor speaking roles, and
several important thinking roles

from the ordinary try-outs
held for plays. All aspirants for
the parts will gather at the Hut
to receive instructions. They will
then be sent as a body to Smith
Hall to await their turn.
A committee of judges will interview
each candidate personally
and the parts will be awarded
according to their judgement. 3
other parts for the Festival have
already been cast and the girls
who will make up the dance
teams have been selected by Miss
Louise Kreher, who is in charge of
dancing.
The Spring Festival will take
place on May 6 at the'W. P. A.
Ampitheater. Script for the play
has been written by Prof Peet

Auburn Students
Make Who's Who
Patrons of Maine's State liquor
stores have spent $15,000,000 since
the State went into the liquor
business in 1934.
In a survey made during the
latter part of the first semester,
19 Auburn students were selected
in the Who's Who Among Students
In American Colleges and Universities.
This' is the' only official
work of its kind in the United
States.
Those honored at Auburn are:
Jarvis Brown, James Buntin,
Brandt Cameron, Jake Chambers,
Charlie Chislom, Roy Dodge, John
Eagan, George Hariston, Jane
Hand ey, Billy Hitchcock, Dave
Hamilton, A. D. Holmes, Morris
Hall, George Lehnert, Malcolm
McDonald, Lopez Mantoux, Floyd
Pugh, Bill Stelzenmuller, and Max
Welden.
Who's Who is published annually
at the University of Alabama
under the editorship of H. Pettus
Randall. He reports that the work
has the endorsement of more than
400 deans of colleges and universities
and ofjnore than 1000 presidents
of fraternities and honorary
organizations. It was begun five
years ago.
Randall gives as the purpose
cf the work that "it was felt that
there was a great need for some
medium through which the names
of deserving students throughout
the country may be brought before
the business and social world.
"The motivating idea behind the
project has been that of establishing
a reference volume of authoritative
information on the great
body of American undergraduates.
Believing as we do that extracurricular
activities are the best
index to a students ability, we
have put the emphasis of selection
on that phase of college life
and not on scholarship alone.
The selections have been made,
in most cases, with the collaboration
of deans and presidents of the
various institutions represented."
More than 450 colleges and universities
and 3500 students are
represented in this edition.
