442 HISTORY OF 1916 S. man year is this tendency extremely pronounced. Towards the end of Senior year many men wake up to find out that they have been pursuing interesting, but useless quests, and neglecting the opportunity of securing an education of permanent benefit. In these two separated interests the student wants self-government only in the one, the extra-curriculum. In the matters of self-government in the curriculum there is no sentiment for any increase. As you know, we have the Honor System in the Scientific School, which is entirely under the control of the students as represented by their Council. We believe in it and are proud of it, but we want no further extension of our powers, even if the Faculty were willing. As a matter of fact, most student self- government is rather ludicrous. If you do what the powers that be want, that is well and good, but if you do what they don 't want, why, that is an end to it,-you can 't do it. But there is another side to this. The undergraduates don't want to be too closely restricted by the Faculty in their outside relations. The question of students having automobiles, it is often said, should be taken up by the authorities. The few accidents that occur serve to bring undue emphasis upon this subject. The solution does not lie with the Faculty, it lies With the parents. As long as indulging parents satisfy the whims of extravagant sons so long will this question vex us. The increase i11 the spending power of the upper classes in this country is refiected in the undergraduates. Our quarters are more luxurious than you ever dreamed of. New Haven is dull to some and the H Sunday exodus results. This is twentieth-century America and not Yale alone. As a matter of fact parents often handicap their sons by indulging their every whim and then, when something happens, blame it on the college iniiuence. The reprehensible actions of some Yale-men will be put in the paper, but no mention is made of the vast majority, who a1'e quietly leading the normal life. ' The students are often misjudged because of small things. Some. of our alumni, who would see a Japanese iieet in every fishing boat on the Pacilic, think that the brawny lads of their day a1'e being succeeded by quiet, lady-like tea-drinkers. It is very amusing to see these startling dis- coveries of Usomething rotten in the state of Denmark. It is true that some drink tea, but is that a heinous sin? It is merely in keeping with the spirit of the times. Grape-juice is the order of the day. Straight living is increasing every day in the Scientific School and the man who would win the support and coniidence of the undergraduate world finds that a strict moral conduct is of inestimable value. Public opinion, which molds the undergraduates, is standing out for straight living more and more every year, and the standard of student conduct is being raised. With an increase in the standard of scholarship and a little more thought on the concentration of eiort along useful channels, the Scientific School will come into an era of prosperity such as it has never seen before.
