OCTOBER. 1940 DUSTING BETHANY ' S FILES Freshmen, who this year are unhampered by fresh- man customs, might be interested in some of the quaint rules and regulations prescribed by the faculty of Bethany College at the opening of the first session in November, 1841. Among the by-laws were the following: No student shall introduce, keep or use within the precincts of the college, weapons or arms of any kind, or gun-[X)wder, or keep a servant, horse, or dog. No student shall f ermit any disturbing noises in his room, or introduce, keep or use any spirituous or vin- ous liquors, or any cards, dice or implements of gam- ing. Smoking cigars, or any other use of tobacco, is at all times strictly forbidden within the college precincts. The use of musical instruments is interdicted before dinner, after ten o ' clock at night, and on Lord ' s days. The bells shall be rung every morning throughout the collegiate year at dawn. The students shall rise at this signal. The dress of the students shall be uniform and plain, a dark gray or black color, at a price not exceeding six dollars a yard. It is recommended by the trustees that Kentucky jeans be selected as the cloth for common wearing apparel. The steward is charged with responsibility for the cleanliness of the inn (the Steward ' s Inn, where many students lived) and grounds, and the practice of keep- ing or raising hogs within the precincts is forbidden.

One of the first results of the feel- ing between the United States and Germany during World War I was the dropping of the teaching of Ger- man from the curriculum of high schools and college The three modern languages taught at Bethany are Spanish, French and German. Comparing this year ' s enrollment against last year ' s we find that the number studying French has declined sharply while enrollment in Spanish has increased heavily, in German slightly.

OCTOBER. 1940 (Continued from Page 16) capable of little more than waggling a weak wave at acquaintances. Then, too, think of the relief for profes- sors in having tyf ewritten exams to read. I insist it could be arranged. Why don ' t they have an open forum or question box in the Bethanian} It would furnish a place more far reaching than bull sessions for students to air their wonders and complaints. There ' d be poor opinions mixed with intelligent ones, but that doesn ' t make the plan prohibi- tive, does it? Why don ' t we take a lesson from a nearby college which has an an- nual book drive? The librarian com- piles a list of reference or recreation- al books which the library needs. Organizations or individual students contribute, and the name of the donor is recorded on a bookplate in the front of the book. Why don ' t the members of Inter- fraternity and Panhellenic Councils really live up to their avowed pur- pose of promoting inter-fraternity good feeling? Wouldn ' t round tables on chapter scholarship, making pledges study, student-alumni rela- tionships etc. be helpful. (Continued from Page Eight) Elsasser and Gordon Seidel. Lone assistants in their respective departments are Lewis Deer, in Bib- lical literature; Florence Nicholas, modern languages; Milton Parker, education; Barbara Schutt, student health service; Ray Simmons, econo- mics, and Margaret Stein, orienta- tion. ALUMNI BULLETIN REVAMPED Several thousand alumni a week ago received through the mail the first issue of a thoroughly revamped Alumni Bulletin. First issue publish- ed since April last, the new Bulletin should do much to make former students conscious of their experi- ences on the hill. Under the direction of Mr. Hett- ler, alumni secretary, Bill Rutter, senior English assistant and peren- nial experimenter in campus publi- cations, redesigned the format of the eight page magazine. Articles by class secretaries and Professor Roberts appear in the current issue. We Believe in BETHANY COLLEGE Manufacturers of EAGLE OILERS WELLSBURG, W. VA.

VA. dltotlal Beth.iny College — all American colleges — have a new r esponsibility toward students. It should be carv- ed over the main entrances on every campus, Learning is more import- ant than any war. Where a few years ago realists screamed that colleges were cloisters, and college students were campus provincials, now the college stud-nt is in danger of being warped mto a person of predjudices by the clamor o{ headlines. The contemporary world-chaos is beginning to fog up intellectual vistas on the campus. The jingoism of a stupid press and stupid politics is conditioning bias so that it passes off for opinion. Many students reallv believe that the United States must fight a war. They are not certain whether we must fight Germany, Japan or Rus- sia. But we must fight someone. It !s inevitable. It is the fashion — the world-spirit! Just what the colleges must do to head off this fatalism is not clear. But certainly they should continue to go about their business of educa- tion with full energy. And the col- lege should also be realistic. Stu- dents should be counseled to go a- head with their academic training, they should be warned against self- appointed distributors of Ameri- canism who are running loose these days. There may be need for patriotic service, but there is no need to get excited about it. In the meantime, we should be resolved to give our first attention to the develop- ment of strong manhood and wom- anhood — strong in bodv, mind, and character. Bethanians should remember President Cramblet ' s advice: You Have a Job To Do. There is no need for a blackout of intellectual and moral ideals. GEO. E. STIFEL CO.
