LETTER FROM THE 1 DIVERSITY BY ADOLPH CORE YOU HONOR ms with an invitation to contribute to your magazine. I would gladly write you a bloodcurdling detective story, as you suggest, but the strenu-o is life of astudent is not conducive to a full sway of the imagination. So many things happen that one is kept busy keeping up with them. Consequently, I shall only write a letter about nothing in particular, just a glimpse at college life as seen from different parts of the campus. The university is a queer place and the life which centers around it is not only a strenuous one but one highly characteristic. Things here are done differently from the way they arc done elsewhere. That is natural “Illinois is a colony of four thousand young p eople who are living apart from the outside world and making a four year’s study as preparation to tak- part in real life. Such an existence is to be found nowhere outside of a university, and one car.not fully understand the difference until it has been experienced. Here exists a little realm with its members bound togelhej by common in terests, customs and traditions. LIBRARY BITI.DING. V. of I. No one can realize this better than a freshman When the new comer goes to the library to register for the first time he feels as it he were in a strange land. He even hears words usej which he fails to recoguize as belonging to the Knglish language. Crain , ru h , spike”, con , Hunk , and many other such terms used by the upper-classmen reach his ears until he begins to think that his vocabulary is not sufficient for doin' business in this queer place. A permit to register starts this new man through a long line of difficulties. First, he is sent to make out a study list with an old, common looking inan called Doctor Smith. All tlu chief me i on this registration day seem to be doctors What does it all mean? Anvwavs. this is a case where a doctor should be culled in, for that study list has a whole column of places for signatures, and flndii g the signers is worse than solving a Chinese puzzle.
