...became of it. All of the letters received in this office censuring the editorial were from rearoused alumni. There seems to be an idea permeating the student mind that everyone is entitled to his own way of thinking and that there is no use of trying to change his opinion. We do not object to this type of tolerance but we do think that the resulting indifference in this case, is undesirable...
...being taught in numerous institutions does give the future farmer a better idea of his problems, if it does nothing else. Economically neither the urban nor rural class can exist without the other; intrinsically, neither is the more important. The press, the chief factor in forming opinion, unfortunately emphasizes the sins of the younger and metropolitan generation and gives little regard to the boys and girls from the farm who will make in tomorrow's producers.

I am sure that an arbitrary regulation to this effect would not meet with any objection. A discount should be made on this number...
Every institution of higher education must have a Problem; if none is apparent one must be invented. Dartmouth's problem--so says the New Student, a symposium of college opinions, concerns aesthetics. Mr. Percy Marks, who is still striving to live down "The Plastic Age", has broadcast his opinion to the effect that Dartmouth students have thrown off the shackles of the "sweatshirt period" only to sink into the toils of dilettantism. A Dartmouth undergraduate ably reputed Mr. Marks' aspersions and emphatically denied that students "walk about Hanover with tiger ljlies beween their teeth and green carnations pinned to their...
