University Credit for Outside Activities - the most important feature of modern collegiate education is the growing recognition which is accorded to applied as well as purely theoretical learning. Ve must recognize this tendency, regardless of its merits, because of its great importance. Natural Sciences and Engineering are the departments which afford the best illustration of the giving of credit the application of the teachings of the classroom. Both laboratory practice and actual experience in the field are credited by these departments. There are several college activities which are the laboratory equivalents certain courses, but which are not accredited, despite their close relation - - These activities, as well as many others, have undergone a remarkable development during the last few years. The relative merits of Journalism. Debating and Dramatics have scarcely been changed. but each of these has attained a greater absolute value than ever before. There has been an increa-se in the duties and responsibilities of those engaged in activities and more logical systems of administration have been adopted. The work of the English Club is an excellent example of up-to-date ad- ministration. The standards of the Occident and Pelican have been greatly- raised since the Club assumed control of -e papers and enforced definite rules .rning their publication. The dra- matic productions of the Club meet with ever-increasing success because of the efficiency displayed in their man- ent. The iv. .ificant feature- college activities to-day are. that a aer amount of work is done than ever before, that this work has greater merit, and that the amount and merit of the work are measured impartially by recently adopted standards. These fea- tures are very widely appreci ated and nearly every one who does so belie - that the time has come for giving students who participate in certain activities, college credit. ' 9

railings, there is no special branch of work which sets free its scholars here. This is the gate nearest the entrance, the men who leave here are but little changed, the campus has left a distorted stamp upon them, or oftener still, has left no stamp at all. The whizz of a street car. the hurried jump upon the already crowded step, and they are gone somewhere. It is without regret that the campus sees them go, it is pleasanter far for us to turn away. Far behind the Greek Theater, right under an enormous pine is a tiny stile which seldom bids farewell to one departing. Many come and gaze upon it, and many turn back and seek an easier way. For the path which starts at the other end of the stile leads straight and steep up a long weary slope. There are no dips into hollows to ease the ascent, there are no groves to hide tin- steepness of the hill, and one must listen long to the message of inspiration from the great stone Theater and the lofty eucalyptus about it to feel that he can undertake the task. The poet passes here, and the writer, and those that are to be teachers of men, for to them is given the strength to pass obscurity and reach the summit of the grassy hill. lUit happy are they to whom it will fall to leave the campus bv the new South Gates. For ' tis solid and firm under foot, the wide brick path which leads to them, and on each side the massive low walls of stone but enhance the glimpses of Nature in the tangle of the creek below. And the rushing of the water mingles with the welcoming- sounds of the outer world. The back- ward look holds nothing of the dim and the indefinite one sees three struc- tures in the three different stages of growth, the first scarcely begun, the second just fulfilling the promise of its vast frame, the third standing long completed. And the future is as definite, for there is self-confidence and self-reliance, and the satisfaction which comes from having found the jewel one comes to seek. And none who leave may loiter here nor wait, Each has his armor for the great world ' s strife; And as he passes through the senior gate He finds himself within the University of Life. 18
