. e351,? u, a way, EVOLUNTE p; Editorial S a senior stands upon the threshold of the workaday world and pauses for one brief look back into the halls of the University wherein he has i it worked for four long years he feels that he has become familiar with ,i his institution and knows something of its functions, aims, and other .:l characteristics. At the vantage point of the threshold he sees many good , points that in the thick of the tlfrayl, may have been obscure-and also H r' many blemt'shes that come into sharp outline at a more removed View. If a .. senior pauses here, then, and points out a few blemishes, leaving the ?; good points to speak for themselves, it will be with the constructive purpose of attempting t to better the road his fellows are traveling. : : : : : ' - ' - - I' f . . . . et 4 Tennessee is attempting to serve the chief interests of the state which are Education, I m Homes, Commerce, Industry, Manufactur'ng, Agriculture and Government. It is perfecting three programs: Research, Training of Leaders and Extension. This is well and good. . ; A University is expected to serve the interests of its state and it is remunerated for that 1 service by the appropriation of more funds for its upbuilding. But, after all, a certain ;r.' degree of danger lurks in over emphasizing the strictly practical or professionale-the danger ' V of lessening our attention to one of the greatest interests of the peaple, that of Happiness, i5 sought universally and attained only through the aesthetic. We may emphasize the nAg , the Engineer, the Lawyer and other interests to advantage, no doubt. But in wserving the practical are we not making our College of Liberal Arts a mere balancell between colleges? We should remember that fifty per cent of the student body are in the Arts course, and, f: after all, are of primary interest because they will take no small part in developing the state. l f There are a few students left in the state who love the classics and appreciate fine arts. l Ii The state owes these students as much attention as the professionals. It is the poet, the artist, 3 the all- round scientist, the ' Hf dreamer, if you will, that fur- nishes the vision,-and without that the people perish : : The growing tendency to 1 i'! underestimate the tlArts re- Hects itself in the activities of 1 the student body. What has lg become of the old days When : ml our debating halls were crowd- ' . ed to capacity, when our liter- I ' ary societies llwaxed hotll, I when all the seats to Hamlet :i We were sold out and the visiting l t glee club was given an ovation t I tto say nothing of the local 4 onel? Does the student still en- i joy these things? Nay, not so! V He has deemed it wiser to be jocund with the fruitful grape and spends his leisure hours at the dances,--over forty of which have been given this year. a. w- ...4 T Page Ttwelw wwwv- 33.241: Wklrkm WEliSlTY o TENN-EgSEEE5 Vrag'ifiie 1 2-1;;- V I I tuwmim M.
