Will You Tell Me? A Page of Thoughtful Answers to Thoughtful Questions Cak you tell me wheiT I can find a list of students whom I would like to know in college ? — Sociable. Buy a directory at the college book-store. If you desire extensive friendshij)s, ynu will find there many suggestive possibilities. If, on the other hand, your interests are more intensive, the lists of major ofticers, etc., at the end of the book, will give you many helpful suggestions. Wlijj We Have Many Quizzes One Weel- and None the Next Is it a mere coincidence that when I have a ipiiz in French at 0.00, I always have a quiz in Math, at 9.55, a written lesson in Chemistry at 1.30, and an Art paper due at 2.25 ? V p. No; modern research has quite disproved the coincidence theory. The phenomenon of which yon write is now considered to be a proof of the existence of evil sufficient to convince all idealistic philoso ihers. It is also interesting to note that a candidate for the Ph.D. degree, who is now preparing a thesis on the Element of Conscience in the Faculty, has noted the tinie-st quence of which you write, and has advanced this ingenious explanation. Take the initials of the courses you have just mentioned — F. M. C. A. They will be seen at a glance to suggest the welbknown aphorism, Freshmen must cram always. Now con.sider the first initial, F; this jjlainly denotes Faculty, and, in the light of this interpretation, we must realize that A refers to Academic. Here, then, in this simple arrangement of quizzes we find a mystic, psychic warning, and a suggestion of the well-known attitude of the Faculty toward the Academic. Is it jtroper for me to discuss the legs of a triangle with an instrnctor whom I do not know ? No — certainly not. (28)
