The' occasion was theannual Junior Banquet, at which time,in accordance with tradition the JuniorMascot is presented. to the college.A model of a white lighthouse tower

was discovered in the middle of thefloor. At the end of the first course,Margaret Ewing, President of the classof 1925, acting as toastmistress, pre-sented the Mascot. At a given signala light rtashed from the miniature win-dows of the lighthouse, proceedingfrom the hand-wrought lantern withinthe tower.Miss Ewing explained that th e qual-

G. P. BAKERGIVES ADDRESS.

Talk on "The Drama of Today"Ends Convocation Series,

The last lecture of the Convocationseries this year was given, March18th, by George Pier-ce Bakel' ofthe Harvar-d 47 Workshop, on thesubject of "The Drama of 'I'odny."In order to have us better understandthe present characteristics of thedrama in America, Prof, Baker re-viewed the conditions which dominatedOUt· theatres between 1880 and 1900,At the opening of that period therewas very Iittle drama in America,though there was a great deal of stageentertainment. Particularly prevalentwas the farce, which though often wellplayed was entirely untrue to life andexpected to be so, T'he audience didnot look tor rcsembtanco between lifeas depicted on tho stage and life asthey lived it.f:;il' ArLhur Winl; Pinero and Henry

CONVOCATIONS.With the lecture by George Pierce

Baker, on March 18, the ConvocationCalendar for this year- is closed, Wefeel that it is a fair reflection of stu-dent opinion to express OUI' heartyapproval of the new plan adopted thlsyear by the Convocation Cornmtttee.Having the meetings come only on et-t.ernate Tuesdays rather than 'eachweek, has lessened by that much theusual bur,den of student engagementsand has also made possible the secur-ing of a more highly selected group ofspeakers,Anyone brought in to address a.cor-

lege audience has always certain diffi-culties to meet, some of which are, ofcourse, COOllmontu speakers anywhere,a wide val'intion in the amount of in-terest already present in l'egat'd to thesubject he pl'esents, a highly criticalattitude toward the content of thema.ter~al presented and the manner of11resentation; sharp competition withother demands upon the student's time,anel a certain amount of satiety in re-grtrd to things intellectual at the endof a day already spent in class room01' ,lahoratol'Y.'rhel'e al'e, however, several factors

which favO!' the Convocation hour, elseit is probable it would never havebeen created. Students have intellec-tual curiosity in respect to fields ofthought not covel'ed in any establisnedcoul'se, they enjoy getting light on per.haps more or less familial' subjects butin a way not colored by the traditionsof the local campus; they apPI'eciatethe opportunity fot' sharing, or at leastevaluating, the ideas and accomplish-ments of those not strictly of theacademic world; and pal'ticularly dothey realize the value of original con-tact with living pel'sonalities, in con-trast to contact by the twice refractedmethod of text books and lectures ontext books by teachers who themselveshave of necessity gained theil" knowl-edge second hand.The Convocation hours furnish a

widely approved way out of the campusrut.

FREE SPEECH.(The Editors of the NelD8 do not holC!

tbemsel\'~ responsi'ble fOr the oplnlonlleX'Preased In this column,]

To the Editor:I wish that someone would kindly

explain the strange paradox (rom which

we all surfer periodically that queersituation which arises from the tactthat subsequent to an announcementthat we have "no mid-term examrna-lions," all professors proceed to an-nounce Impm-ta nt "tests covering thefirst half of the semester's work;" andthen carefully warn us that "mid-termgrades must be in" by a certain date,In the first place I object to this

great discrepancy between theory andpracuce. It Is not a good precedent toset before a student body, In the sec-ond place, I think that certain PS)'.chologfea! dtsadvan tagea arise fromthus dividing a semester. The natureof students seems to be such that thetendency is to slump somewhat aftera period of "tests", and, as a result,the work or the semester as a whole Isbound to suffer, wrttten exercises areof undoubted value as a method ofstimulating review; and it might bea coed plan to have them given atIa.i r-ly regula I" intervals in all SUbjects,but I think that there is a decided errol'in the over-emphasis of the middle ofthe ter-m. After all.tstudent s know prettywen what kind of WOrk they are reallydoing and should need no official noticeof the fact. 'we are not all childrenwho cannot be good unless we are con-stantly prodded on by authority, Ifwe are such, and are unable to sur.vtve a semester wher-ein we have notbeen officially warned-c-uien it is abouttime that we were shown the necessityof "growing up" through the effectIvemethod of being left to the mercies ofa system where only grown-ups sur-vive, and the major-tty may not basetheir standing upon so flimsy a foun-dation that they await with anguishthe middle of the term, to see just howweu the bluff is worktng.

"THE LITTLE THEATREMOVEMENT" AND THE

COLLEGE DRAMATIC CLUB."The New Student" makes note of

the vaiue of the college dl'amatic asso-ciation to the little theatre movement,Particulal"ly in the middle west, wherethe college functions largely as a civicorganizaliOll, the success of dramaticclub itineraries is marl'ed. The OberlinDramatic Associ[\.tion perhaps best iI-lustl'ates the type of work undertakenh~"collegedramaticcluhs in an effort to!';ponsor the IitLle theatre movement. 'fheOherlin Association has covered fromtwelve hundred to two thousand milesincluding in its route the smallest groupsof farmer>;, and the larger industrialcentel"S, Nor is the l'ange of audiencesmOl'e limited, for all kinds of organiza-tions from the Amel'ican Legion to thehigh school class, appear on the lists,In [act, in its audiences Is to be foundthe nucleus of the Middle 'Vest, thepeople who comprise the leaders in thatpal·t of the country,The trpe o[ performance is confined

to the one-act plars such as those ofDunsany, Shuw, and Lady Greg01T,Occasionally, perhaps, the material be-comes a little ponderous fOt' such aval"ied audience, yet the presentationscalTY an appeal o[ their 0\\"11, a relieffl"om the endless farce and musicalshow, The purpose and a little of theaccomplishments of the associationmay be gleaned from a letter of Profes-sor P. D, Sherman, director of theOberlin Association. ""'e do a greatdeal to give the best type of play togranges, small towns, fann communi-ties, and small cities off the main theat-I'ical line, This yeal' (our members ofthe club al'e coaching dramatic pro-ductions in neal'by schools.'But there i:; also an intrinsic value

in this type of organization for theDramatic Club itself, The OberlinClub follows the plan outlined in ourown organization last year. The mem-bership is divided Into groups, each a

complete organization in itself, and eachwith a real job, the production of aplay under a student coach for themembers of the association, From thebetter ones. selection is made fOI" theChr-ist mas and Spring nips, Thus, themembers of the club are all activelyenga~ed in uroductton: the usual cum-bersome routine of the longer play isavotded. and the producuons may bekept within range or student ability."Such organization 011 such a work-

ing bases seems to admit of practlcaltyunlimited and profitable exploitation,The one-act play r-an he put on in anyeor-nar- anywhere, with a ver-y limitedcast a nd limited effects."It is of Interest to note the prog-ress

of a movement practically identical inthis section. Two venrs ago, in theInterest of the Endowment Fund, theDramatic Club formed a group of Con-necticut Pta rers. who undertook thesame work, the presentation of one-actplays before sel~cted audiences, Atpresent the "Connecticut Campus," theConnecticut Agricultural College paper.has outlined the Itlneru r-y for its club,which is presenting plays in many ofthe smatter towns of Oonnecucut. Itwould seem that the college dr-am atloclub might easily assume the leader.ship In rostet-lng the much discussedand rnuch heralded little thenu-s move-ment.
