PiHILLIPS TALKS ON CHRIST--THE GREA T MIRACLE AT CHAPEL WEDNESDAY Episcopal Minister Gives Ideas od Life of Jesus-Life and Character Dr Henry Ph,iips, rector Pf the Trinity Church address the student body at the University Chapel at the regular chapel exercises Wednesday morning at 10:30. Dr. Phillips took as his central them "Christ as the greatest Miracle of all times." He said that there were many things that were unfolding themselves to students as they went thru the various studies of college. Students have un folded unto them vistas of new thought, new tru.hs and revaluations of things a;ready known. He announced that he was to present the greatest of all facts, the greatest of all miracles tested by bioiogy, sociology, or economics, that is the life of Jesus. Men have doubted and criticised Christ and have doubted some of the things that have been ascribed to him. But none have been enabled to eliminate of diminiish the cower of his personality. It has been examined, scrutinized, and explained, but its power remains. If some one had told you that a person born in a cow shed, raised in a carpenter shop, who taught only three years, who raised no army, established no institu tion, wrote no books treated as a traitor by his countrymen, as a crazy man by his townspeople, and finally crucified would now be known in all the countries of the world and his ideas of life taught as a way of life, we would scarsely be lieve it. But the fact of this miracle remains. Drt Phillips then went on to explain Christ's life and character in terms of a marvelous symmetry. He appealed- to men and to women and we find that his words are as applicable now as when he spoke then. We find that he is the full expression of the hearts desire of many people. There is no barrier or rank. He was born of a peasant woman but w,s of royfl ;descent, The saeaker closed with an appeal for the students to follow this miracle of all ages as their way of life. - U.S.C. - - Y.W.C.A.

CLAIMS LARGE PROPORTION-OF STUDENTS UNFIT CRITICIZE ENTRANCE TEST Miskea Plea for Limit Size of Classes-Criticize Idea of "Mass Education" For the past two years numerous col lege and university professors have criti cized the "open-door' policies to entrance requirements. Not a few magazine arti cles have been written upon the subjec , ranging from the defenders of "mass education" to the plea for limited student bodies. Especially have the various pians of Northern universities for limiting the size of classes received publicity. From Ohio State which is near the imaginary border separating North and South comes some critical comment by the faculty. The professors take a gen tle rap at the men who sit at their feet. The comparisons with other schools are interesting. Two thirds of the students now at Ohio State academy should be there, several professors of the University say. The other third not oniy is incapable of doing the work but is a, burden on the scholarship of the other s udents. These same professors also agree the standards are too low at Ohio State to permit any real test of mental superiority. When a professor does demand of his students work equal to that done' by students in highly standardized schools the number of failures is startling. "Standards are low," says Professor Arthur C. Cole of the department of English. "I would not wvant them p)lacedl so high as to exclude students who did not get started right in high school. It would be best to take the highest t wo thirds or three-quarters of high school graduates with the right given to the o hers to take entrance examinations." Professor Cole also says he thinks the chief trotuble with the college students of today is that they are not alert to the question of the hour. They seem to think they are being dIriven to make grades and it is in that line only they show any interest. Professor J. A. Brownocker of the department of geology declares that not only are a great many students at Ohio Sta e unable to do good wvork, hut also there are many who do not care to do the work. These should be eliminated. "Students should not be accepted tun questionably from high schools," says professor H. Gordon Hayes of the .Ie nartment of economics. "A more care ful selec ion should be made in order that the state's money be spent more wisely." Dr. Leighton of the philosophy de partment, who taught at Stanford Uni versi y last summer, says out of a group of 50 students the average was 20 per cent. better than that from the same number at Ohio State. He had no faii tures and few D's. He says it is no' true democracy to waste the state's money and the professor's salaried time teaching 'nnnor sudenft BIBLE CLASSES TO BANQUET IN GYM TONIGHT GRAHAM'S CLASS WINNER Co-Eds to Serve Food-Will Have No Long Speeches-Cuttino To Preside It's here.
