...second place, I should like to complain of the difficulty which I have encountered in getting a corps of ushers on whom I could depend. It may have been due to may own inability to find the right men; but I am inclined to think that the fault is not wholly that. A surprising fact is that the most dependable ushers--indeed, those who are most ready to assume the cares of ushering--are the men who take the least active interest in the religious activities of the University. This is a case in which change may well begin...
...current number of the Advocate should be dedicated to O. Henry, for the three stories depend on the problem of mistaken identity which he handled so supremely well. Of them, P. R. Mechem's "Burley knows a Cubist" alone is done with any particular skill. The style in description and conversation is light and the characters are cleverly sketched, although the close is distinctly weak. W. D. Crane in "Bully" and L. Wood, Jr., in "Short, Sweet and Bitter" do not succeed so well in following the difficult master. Both attempt what few people can accomplish skilfully in clearing...

The tickets, which are twenty-five and fifty cents, will go on sale in Memorial Hall today. The success of the teams depends is no small measure...

It presupposes two things for success: The permission of the University to count practical work in municipalities or other forms of government for a degree, and the establishment of fellowships enabling college students to take time for such work. Whether or not these moves will be made, will depend somewhat on the men who are interested in the work and respond to Professor Hart's call. At present, it is true, the attractions of municipal or other government are few enough to the trained man. A betterment of conditions must come through those who are deeply interested...
...slowness in contributing may be caused by a misunderstanding of the purpose of the fund, which is primarily to finance class reunions. Thus, when 1914 men return for their big reunions, they will be entertained by the money in the fund, and as the scale of those celebrations will depend entirely on present subscription, there is obvious advantage in generosity...
