The first society banque t of t he

the Alethea society and its invited

guests assembled for some most de-

l ightful hours in the Woman's Liter-

day the th i r t een th , Luck and fa te

were appeased by being chosen as

the theme for the banquet . Black and

gold were chosen as the color

scheme, wi th da in ty bouquets of

sweet peas and snap dragons to add

good luck. The horseshoes on the

programs and the dice of sevens and

elevens -which held the n u t s seemed

to cont r ibute in making the banque t

successful. The Alethea society was

very lucky to have Professor and Mrs

Hager as chaperones. and all enjoy-

ed Professor Hager's very clever toast

immensely. After a delicious d inner

of chicken and its tr immings, Mar-

garet Hondelink, president of the

Alethea society, act ing as toas tmis-

tress, introduced the following pro-gram:

NINTH SCHOLASTIC AWARD TO

MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR

CLASS

M:. Ralph Muller has received an

assis tantship at the University of

Kentucky, major ing in physics and

minoring in mathematics . The assist-

an tsh ip is valued at six hundred dol-

lars and offers many chances for rapid

advancement . Mr. Muller graduated

f rom Granriville High School and

started as a Freshman at Hope. Since

his ent rance to Hope he has become

one of t he most popular boys on the

Campus, and has done all in his abil-

ity to fit himself for t he position

granted him.

This is t he n i n t h of a list of assist-

antships and scholarships to be

granted to Hope s tudents this year.

Although this is the first assis tant-

ship in physics to be granted, it shows

t h a t Hope is coming" to her own. I t

also shows t h a t advancement in t h a t

part icular depar tment is being made.

Professor Kleis is head of t he physics

depar tment and it is with part icular

FIRST SCHOOL OF MUSIC CONCERT DRAWS CROWD TO HEAR ARTISTS CALENDAR

PROGRAM FEATURED BY SINOINO

FIRST B. M. ORAD

Miss Cornelia Nettinga, t he first

g radua te of the Hope College School

of Music rendered her graduat ion re-

cital on Monday evening to a large

audience of s tuden t s and townspeo-

ple at Wtnants chapel.

Miss Nett inga is t he first to have

ever received the degree of bachelor

of music as well as bachelor of a r t s

f rom Hope College. I t has only been

recently t h a t any school has offered

th i s degree. Thus we are f o r t u n a t e

to be one of t he few capable of con-

fer ing i t . Our school of music has an

excellent reputa t ion in the s ta te and

Miss Nett inga is a very worthy reci-

p ient of its first degree. She has

been p rominen t in t h e Girls' Glee

Club dur ing her four years a t col-

lege, and has been the soloist for t he

past two years. Her reputa t ion as a

vocalist is widespread in town as

well as campus circles.

The recital was begun ' by two

groups of selections sung by Miss Net-

t inga accompanied by Mrs E. J . De

Pree. Miss Sarah Lacey followed with

some piano rendi t ion. The soloist

again pleased with two four ther

groups. The next number was some

violin selection by Mr. Kenne th

Mook. Miss Nett inga closed the eve-

ning with a final performance.

The evening's pleasure fu rn i shed

by the ar t is ts was of a very high

qual i ty . The audience was greatly

pleased with the result and showed

Its appreciat ion by the quan t i ty of

applause and a great number of very

favorable comments . S tudents con-

gra tula te Miss Nett inga especially on

her really remarkable voice. Her

abil i ty in expression was given a

broad out le t by the variety In her ,

program. This qual i ty with clearness

of tone and perfect voice control

combined to make the recital one of

t h e joys of the season. The s tuden t s

will miss her music in the f u t u r e

b u t wish her the very best of success

reer.

Thursday Devotional

Session "

Two visitors on the Campus last

week conducted the morning devo-

tional exercises and gave shor t ad -

dresses to t h e s tuden t body. They

were Rev. William Gowans, D. D.,

who Is a special fr iend of President

Dlmnent and a favorite of t he s t u -

dent body, and the Reverend G. Hon-

delink, an a l u m n u s of Hope, speaking

on Wednesday and Thursday morn-ings respectively.

In his usual high spirits Dr Gow-

ans brought his message of optimism,

interspersing his serious though t s

with ou tburs t s of humor t h a t set t h e

audience shaking with laughter . Sum-

mc.rily s tated, he said t h a t t hough

there Is m u c h evidence of outside

mater ia l change, still the basic

th ings of l ife remain beneath the

changing exterior, and he testified to

the fact t h a t some of the most lasting

th ings in l ife are the f r iendships

formed in college days . ,S tudents are

always pleased to listen to Dr Gow-

ans and look forward to his annua l message.

Rev. Hondelink on Thursday morn-

ing spoke of t he powerful force of

pcraonality as an agent for individual

expression. He stressed the impor-

tance of the development of t he per-

sonality, and he said t h a t heredi ty

environment , and various o ther in-

fluences play upon each person to

make his personali ty wha t It is, b u t

t h a t one of t he greatest molding

forces of a rich personality is t h e Chris t ian religion.

AUTHORITY

There is authori ty and authori ty. Sometimes there is authori ty tha t is veiled with tact and consideration. That kind of authori ty does not chafe our t ender sensi-bilities, because often we are not even aware of its being1

authori ty . It is the kind of authori ty tha t makes the world go round; tha t stops to reason with man and sat-isfies his questionings as to the r ight or the wrong. It does not flaunt itself in the faces of men and t rample their pride and achievements merely to gra t i fy the de-sire of showing its power. Tha t is not only author i ty— tha t is tyranny—a tyranny tha t mocks man 's efforts to better himself and his condition, t ha t laughs at his strug-gle fo r self-respect, derides his dreams and ambitions.

You maintain that tact is a thing inborn in a per-son. True, but it can be developed by use, even as it can be destroyed by disuse. Af te r all tact is consideration fo r others, and consideration is an oil t ha t has made many difficult wheels begin to t u r n . To be sure, authori ty without tact can perhaps make the wheels go round, but they creak excruciatingly at every turn. The oil of tact not only makes them turn easily and noiselessly, but

saves the machinery as well. I t 's the, business of the college g radua te to take

positions of authori ty. It is expected of him. But it is the kind of authori ty he uses tha t either makes or breaks

him.

T H A T CHAPEL SERVICE

The recent appearance of outside speakers a t chapel has broken the dull monotony which this service is apt to develop. This presence of variety in the exercises is the best way to meet any a rguments for the abolition of com-

pulsory chapel a t tendance. Those who would abolish this requirement have only

one good argument . This contention is the psychological one t ha t forced a t tendance creates the wrong mental atti-tude. Although this may be true in theory, it is not apparen t enough at Hope to give the argument much weight. However, the elimination of desirable fea tures at this service is bound to breed that undesirable f r ame of •

mind. During the spring term, the demand for variety is par-

tially met by ta lks from the many college visitors. It is the winter term which demands most attention in this re-spect. However, every chapel service of the year is mar-red by the apparen t lack of support which authorit ies ex-tend to some college activities. This is especially evident in the type of announcements which can be made from the chapel pla t form. Only announcements of a religious nature are allowed. However, an occasional mention of oratory, debat ing or class sessions is not considered a vio-lation of this aim. But, as soon as any athletic announce-ment is requested, the authorit ies have " thumbs down."

This foolish discrimination could easily be abolished without spoiling the religious character of the service. Devotions could be held first and all announcements withheld until the devotional exercises were completed. Of course, any announcement can now be made in the chapel building if the announcer is a fas t t rack man who can gain the plat form a f t e r the facul ty has lef t and be-fore the students rise to leave. This robs the announce-ment of good facul ty support- Authorit ies may main-tain tha t all announcements should be placed upon the bulletin boards. But with some/ten or twelve notices on a bulletin board it is impossible to give some functions the dererved publicity. The end can be more effectively gained by giving these notices f rom the chapel p la t form. These, should of course be limited to affairs which are likely to be of interest to the major i ty of the s tudent body. The needed change would then yield two advan tages : new interest would be created in chapel a t tendance and deserving functions could be given the necessary publici-ty. Will the authorit ies be tolerant enough to adopt the

plan?.

THE VALUE OF EXTRA — CUKRI-

(Minnesota Dally)

T h e theory t h a t Indulgence In ex-

t ra-curr icular activities Is fa ta l to

scholarship has at length been releg-

ated to Its proper place among ou t -

worn superst i t ions and fancies. An

Investigation conducted by t h e soci-

ology depar tment of th i s universi ty

brought 1 for th s tat is t ics which prove

t h a t those who are most actively en-

gaged In work which Is no t Included

In the curr iculm are also those who

rank highest In scholarship. Good

s tuden t s are Interested In three ou t -

side activities and honor s tuden t s In %

four.

I t Is not hard to find reasons why

th i s Is so. In the first place, only

capable s tudents , who are no t forever

grubbing through books, will have

the t ime to devote to extra-curr icular

work. I t Is t he capable s tuden t , too,

who will have the ta lent to engage In

such activities as dramatics, |debatlng,

t he s tuden t government, or s tuden t s

publicat ions. In most cases It re-

quires ability to obtain good marks.

I t Is therefore obvious t h a t the same

s t u d e n t will rank high In scholarship

and in extra-curr icular activity.

T h e time t h a t an Individual spends

in colloge should result In his pre-

para t ion for active compet i t ion In

the world a f t e r he has graduated .

While In some degree t h e work t h a t

he does In scholastic courses helps to

lit him for this, yet It does not pro-

vide as much as might be desired of

competi t ion between man and man.

It Is th is alone which will result In

h is becoming capable of holding his

own once he has work required to ob-

tain success In. I t provides . the finest

ways of acquiring t ra ining while In

college. The qualifications for a clerk

sepcify tha t he be able to concent ra te

and to perform mental labor. They do

not necessarily require t h a t he be

capable of making his own way In the

face of obstacles which present t h e m -

selves when other men become am-

bit ious. The qualif ications for a suc-

cessful business m a n require t h a t he

should both bo able to perform dif -

ficult mental labor and a t t he same

t ime be able to protect his own In-
