Thie Badger The Deans T N SEPTEMBER, 1922, more than 2,700 Women enrolled at the University of Wisconsin. What do these throngs seek ? Doubtless each autumn will see a few arrive who earnestly seek nothing. They have drifted to college because others were going, and because fiction painted college as a rosy lotus-land, peopled with gay young companions. For these drifters, any college can only pray that they may have a swift repentance or a swift departure, before they have some- what subdued the college to their own likeness. But most of the Wisconsin women saw definite advantages in the pattern of student life here, and these advantages they endeavor to leave unspoiled as a heritage to their successors. They want to establish the tradition of out-of-door play time for every woman every day. They prize the rich oppor- tunities which nature has provided for aried out-of-door pleasure, and what the Un iversity is adding to nature ' s gifts. They prize the buoyant comradeship of swinging along to- gether around the lakes, or picnicking before the fire in the Field House after a radiant hour at hockey or tennis. They prize also the democracy which in physical sports, or the finer mental contests, gives to each woman a chance to establish her own worth, unaided and unhampered by others. They prize an education which holds its ceremony of welcome and dedication for all new-comers at the feet of the greatest of democrats, friend of the dreams of man, Lincoln. ' - -C - f m HE IDEALS of knighthood were valor, loyalty, courtesy and magnamity. These constituted chiv- airy, the unbought grace of life — the nurse of manly sentiment and heroic enterprise. Cynics and pessi- mists are e er bewailing the decadence of chivalry in our youth. Coeducation is vociferously decried as contributing to the further downfall of knightly virtues. Such critics simply fail to grasp the significance of changed conditions. The qualities may be called by different names, but courage and loyalty, good breeding, kindliness and con- sideration are as highly prized, while cowardice, treachery, boorishness and selfishness are as much despised, as when knighthood was in flower. This Badger is dedicated to Dean Nardin and in her the Women whom she represents are honored. The act is chival- rous. The Class of 24 has shown its high regard for the rightminded womanhood of the University, a courtesy worthily bestowed and justly appreciated. And this fine relationship between the best men and women of Wisconsin is continually apparent. Chivalry lives no less really, no less nobly, and far less crudely, on the campus today than it did amid the clank of armor in feudal halls or on the field of medieval honor. PattU
