Emphasis can not be laid too strongly on the word certain. The approval of certain activities implies the condemnation of others. Xo one denies that social and political activities have been deplorably overdone. Any group of individuals who can say thank you in any language feel them- :itled to a series of vague informal gatherings. Most social affairs require the appointment of committees which will include all the friends of the person who makes the appointments. These committees must dance often together before they are in a mood for serious deliberation, and after the culmination of their - :ne brilliant June- Id an after- math dance with the re- eficit.

There are profe- ho are so familiar with the activities which involve an application of the principles which they teach, that they can very- easily form an estimate of the worth of the work accomplished outside the classroom. It is reasonable to believe that credit value could be assigned

in activity work as well as seminar work, and this value once assigned will need little readjustment. It is claimed that if credit is given, students will shirk other courses and endeavor to make a majority of their hours in activity work. This would not be the case, since one or two units per semester is sufficient for each activity. Furthermore, a man who wishes to succeed in an activity, must concentrate his efforts, and can not scatter his energy in a variety of pur- suits. But if the credit is as small as one or two units, what is the use in giving it? Students need a recognition of their ability from a higher and a capable authority and should not be required to depend on their self- assurance alone. This system would be particularly applicable for those who help to maintain the high standard of an activity without being able to fill the few places at the top. The proposed system would not detract from the honor in participating in an activity, but would add to it. A more thorough recognition of work insures greater honor. There are certain activities which are more beneficial to the student and require a greater amount of work than many snap courses. There are some subjects which are now parts of the curriculum and have only recently become such. Credit for graduation is given in industrial arts, agriculture, music, and advertising. These subjects were considered as outside activities not many years ago. If these subjects are accredited, it is not unreasonable to demand credit for outside activities which are fully as useful. The granting of this request would be in line with the established tendency to recognize applied knowledge.
