SOPHOMORE SOPHISTRY The last stages oj barbarism. The first stages of apprecation. The beginning oj aspiration. The otlier day ihe editor cornered me, and lold nie that I was to elaborate, elucidate, and in general let the world know some of the more intimate particidars of sophomore sophistry. With unrestrained naivete I queried, What is it? A little research revealed that the enormous field of soph- omores ajid all that is sophomoric had practically been untouched — and no wonder. Hark to what friend Webster has to say, Sophomoric is suggestive of bombastic language, coupled with crudeness and ignorance. Whereas, Sophistry is fallacious reasoning as has scarce had any influence upon the opinions of mankind. Example of sophomore sophistry as based upon the contention of Webster: Doug Kaasch ' s trying to tell Prof, Howie why he wasn ' t there the day of the analytics Blue Book quiz. The very deviation of the word sophomore disheartens one-- wise, foolish ... a lirainy variety of idiots. Looking back on the editor ' s mild opinion of sophomores, I suggest these changes: the last stages of rationalism, the first stages of depreciation, and the beginning of asperity. Howgver, the degradation of the un- worthy sophomore was not complete until I asked Keefer for i definition, psychologically speaking. He replied with the followin.g which demonstrated perfectly alliterations ' artless annoyance. Said Sam, Some psychologists say sophomore sophistry simply signifies sane, sound, sensible, serious, serene, schizophrenia — sans the sane, sound, sensible, serious, and serene. Therefore, to find out what Sam thinks of the class of 1940 all we have to do is to ask j Ir. Gregg what schizophrenia is. Just to check on what he might say, though, I looked for the word in nine dictionaries until I finally found it, -to discover that it is a state of mind brought on by distintegration of the personality, and includes such forms as dementia precox and like kinds of insanity. Now. dear sophomoric co-eds, cohorts, co-workers, and coke fiends, I appeal to you. Are these accusations based on insight and understanding Ah, even as I pen this immortal interrogation I can hear you thunderously reply. I-Iow should I know? bv SHELDON HUPP .Autumn, 1937 27
