THE TOWER LIGHT That for the year 1932-33, the total cost per Towson Normal School student, making no allowance for the service rendered the 270 pupils in the elementary school, was 5368.00 for each day student and 3786.00 for each resident student? The average payment for a day student was 521, the average for a resident student 5194. The state met the difference. Since then the tuition has been raised to S100 for each student, and a boarding student pays S216 in addition. O 9.0 Hits and Bits The Ursinus Weekly, publication of Ursinus College, announces the shattering of a new record. The radio was listened to for one full hour Without the familiar phrase, We're Not Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf, being heard. A system of adult education by radio by means of listening centers in the Kentucky mountains has been inaugurated by the University of Kentucky. The Crimson White tells us of a certain professor at Wisconsin State College who recommends the old institution of cramming, because it represents concentration of the highest order. He further asserts that modern psychologists believe knowledge gained more rapidly will be re- tained longer. The Morrow Dormitory at Amherst has been presented a library of 3,000 voltunes by Mrs. Dwight Morrow, wife of the late ambassador and trustee of the Union Theological Seminary. This will be the third dormitory library at Amherst. Forty of the 70 candidates Who reported for the football squad at Notre Dame in 1933 had been captains of their respective prep school teams. Fraternity houses at Rutgers University employ 140 students, Whose combined yearly earnings are S26,300. Most of these men work at wash- ing dishes and waiting on tables. According to a professor at Waslungton University, students who aim for A grades are barren of personality. Those who get C are the ones who move the World. BACK TO THE PRIMITIVE Hamilton College, also, produces miracle plays. As a part of the Christmas celebration last year, they acted out three plays from the old Chester cycle, which was written down in 1600. The originals were presented by the guilds of the painters, glaziers, and vintners. SARA LEVIN, 34. 21
