Page Six TH E R E D A N D B L A C K Commencement Number could be wcll done under two hours. Yale's admonition to chapel orators- No souls are saved after the first twenty as it pleases, has had its influence on the spell-binder. Even political speeches, the last place we would look for reform along this line, are not so long as they used to be. President Coolidge has set the pace for briefer addres- ses. The radio audience with its freedom to listen or not, as it pleases, has had its influence on the spell-binder. The newspaper of today leads the style in pithiness. The daily paper had educated the public in the expectation of receiving much in little. A headline often sums up the information of a column of type. A well executed cartoon may impart a philosophy of life at a glance. All in all, it is better so. Life is short and time is the stuff that life is made of. Whatever you have to do or say, get at it and get it over. Gentlemen A gentleman, said Cardinal Newman, is one who never infiicts pain. In modern form, this aphorium ap- pears thus: is one who never consciously hurts the feelings of another. Amended by a discerning wit, the definition reads: A gentleman is one who never unconsciously hurts the feelings of another. Oliver Wendel Holmes defined a gentleman as one who boasts three generations of portraits in the family. His humor probably helped to lag that conception of a gentleman. The rise of the aristocracy of sudden wealth made it foolish. A gentleman of today might be one who has abundant means and who can wear evening clothes without looking like a servant. It was such a gentleman who preferred blondes! Advertising experts make good use of the same non sequitorf' This or that make of automobile, furniture or cigarette defines the gentleman. Ergo, to be a gentleman one needs but possess the outward hall marks. The fact is that no definitions of this term covers all examples of true gentleness. It is curious, yet true, that we express our ultimate judgment of a man in terms we can- not define precisely. A more child-like view of the world of adults may reward our search for the marks of a gentleman. It was a little girl who apprised her mother of a caller at the back door. He doesn't look like a gentleman, she said, but I think he is one inside. Perhaps thi.s is the answer a gentleman is one who makes the quality of his nature felt even in spite of signs and definitions to the contrary. STAFF OF THE RED AND BLACK
