Personality Is More Important Than Know ledge

George “ Dixie” Bryan Gives Interesting Speech Last Monday

‘Ed uc a t io n is the deve lopment of the whole of our per son a l i ty said M on d a y ’s chape l speake r , George N. Bryan, se cre t a ry of the Y. M. C. A. He went on to say th a t mind . head, and hea r t should be t ra ined in college.

Mr. B ryan said th a t f i f teen per cent of success for men and women de pends on technical knowledge; and eigh ty-f ive per cent depends on persona l i ty and the abi l i ty to get a long with o t he r people.

Success depends also on the r ea l i ­zat ion tha t “ mind is not l ike a s t o r e ­house to be filled, i t ’s l ike a garden to be t i l l ed” . Mr. Bryan fel t tha t s tay ing out of t r ouble was a n o t h e r fac tor and said th a t the way to do th a t was to leave o t h e r peoples ’ business alone. “ A b u n d a n t sucessful l iving is no t ju s t m a k in g a l iving, m a k in g moey.” Some th i ng else is necessary.

The basis for real happiness , for success in life, is the l iving of “ lives of successful se rvice.” “ In this bus i ­ness of educat ion, give some thoug ht to the teachings of Jesus, those teachings of service, love, and the Golden R u le ” , concluded Mr. Bryan.

George (Dixie) Bryan , who hails f rom the south and is very proud of both the south and his sou the rn “ d r a w l ” , spoke a t the invi ta t ion or the sen ior class, which a r r a n g e d the program. Carrol l Crouse i n t r odu c ­ed the sp eake r to the chapel group.

Thespians Worklo Perfect Play

To an unpre judiced observer it would seem tha t the ac tors were rea l ly having a grea t deal of fun— not only when they were on the s tage bu t also when watch ing the ant ics of the others.

Tor r id love-making seemed to be r a t h e r u n h e a r d of before the Civil W a r — but mo dern Romeos and J u l i ­ets could learn much by wa tch in g Pau l Dannelley and M arg a re t Davis, do it in the “ o ld- fashioned w ay” . Act ing in a m e lo d ram a is of course exaggera ted , and “ the Octo roon” is no except ion to this rule.

All advance repo r t s indicate th a t the play prac tices a re progress ing nicely. One role has been changed. Donna Je a n Jo h n so n has been a d ­vanced to the role of Mrs. Pe y to n— the a r i s tocra t ic mis t re ss of a deca­dent S o u th e rn mansion.

Prof. J. L. Bowman Had Trouble Putting On Socks That Matched, While Courting His Wife

“ One might th ink th a t Prof. Joe L. Bowman sees only the serious side of life, and yet again if you only know him, you see he has some hum or hid behind his solemn eyes— th a t is, t h e y ’re solemn eyes if he isn’t t ickled a t any th ing .”

Yes. Prof. Bowman delights in sly, humorous wit. But then I daresay, all of it isn’t in tend­ed on his part . For example, one t ime while he was cour t ­ing Mrs. Bowman before the ir marr iage , he invited he r to his home for dinner. During the course of the evening both Prof. Bowman and his lady friend chanced to glance a t the floor at the same time. He evidently had dressed in candlel ight , for lo and behold! on one of Prof. Bo wman’s feet was a red sock and on the o ther a green sock. Now it could be that he dressed by candlel ight , and then again he might have been color blind.

Anyway Mrs . Bowman quickly lifted her eyes and p re tende d not to notice, but 1 dare say he never heard the end of it a f te rwards .

Our col lege’s professor of m a th e ­matics was born in Quinter , Kansas, and has lived in Kansas most of his life. He has five sisters and four brothers , five of whom gradua ted from McPherson college. Prof. Bow­man g radua t ed from M. C. In 1918 and took gra dua te work at the fol- versi ty of Chicago, Universi ty of Kansas, Mount Morris Academy, and the Universi ty of Southern Cali forn­ia. He taught at La Verne college, Ripon college in Wisconsin, and J u ­nia ta college before coming here in 1926 to teach.

Prof. Bowman has no part icu la r bobby save ju s t working, he says. Wi th a mischievous gl int in his eye he explained he does qui te a bi t of work a round the house, but oddly enough be re fe rs our readers to Mrs. Bowm a n for t h e details. Now he probably does mow the lawn, and such things as tha t , hut then it could he tha t the extent of it is his never fai l ing morning walk to the college farm for milk.

Prof. Bowman met Mrs. Bowman while they were both a t tending the Universi ty of Chicago. She was en­rolled in the school of fine a r t s there. By the way, Mrs, Bowman is an ac­complish a r t i s t and pianist. They were married Christ inas Day in 1924. Wi th a decided twinkle in his eye he said tha t he was quite sure of the day, but tha t he might be mistaken about the year. Anyway i t ’s a good way to remember the day.

R . E. W eek S peaker Illustrates Talk E n titled “ A rt In H om elife"

Rev. Russell West gave a lecture with slides a t a recent S. C. M. meet­ing. November 16. The theme of the talk was “ Art in Home Life” . The first pictures shown were scenes near Rev. W e s t ’s home in the Blue Ridge Mounta ins of Virginia. Next there was a paint ing of an humble l i t t le home where Jesus is s tanding a t the bedside of a sick boy.

Mr. Wes t said th a t In s tudying a paint ing, one should note especially the hands. Much expression of ch a r ­ac te r may he found in one’s hands. The pa in t in g , “ The Doctor” was very impressive. “ Je su s a t Be thany” was in te re s t i ng with Rev. W es t ’s com­ments.

Several years ago an a r t i s t painted a p ic ture to typify the old Br e th ­ren home. A saint ly old couple are s i t t in g in the i r plain bu t cozy li ttle home, the m ot he r sewing and the f a th e r with an open Bible in his hand. This pic ture now hangs in the par lor at Be thany Biblical Sem­inary. One of the pictures shown by Rev. West was this interest ing paint ing.

Othe r pa in t ings shown by R e v . West were “ The Dr inke rs” , “ A Ger­man Home" , “ The Adolescent Boy C h r i s t” , and Holman H u n t ’s “The Lig ht of the W o r l d ” .

Group singing, a t the opening of the meet ing, was led by El izabe th Ann Mohler. Devotions were led by E lm er Dadisman.

Failures Of Democracy Is Due To People

Dr. Olson, Head Of Economics Department, Speaks To Chapel Group

Poin t ing out tha t unwise policies of a democracy a re due to the ind if fer ­ence or lack of social intel l igence of the vo te rs , Dr. Oscar Olson, head of the d e p a r t m e n t of economics of Mc­Pherson College, spoke on “ Social Intel l igence and Citizenship in a Democracy” Wednesday morning in chapel . Dr. Olson cited the many advances made in the physical sci- ences, chemist ry, biology, physics, and medicine, but pointed out tha t the re has not been such progress in the social sciences. “ Man does not yet know all about the physical uni ­verse in which he lives, but he has made progress stated Dr. Olson; “ however, man is helpless when it

comes to cont rol l ing social forces.” Dr. Olson said tha t s ta tesmen were not to blame for the weak policies of a democracy, tha t they only reflect the will of the people. The reluc­tance with which a s ta tesman uses new methods to remedy faul ts in gov e m i n e n t is due to the fact that “ in novat ions can be introduced only af t e r the approval of the major i ty”So Dr. Olson reached the conclu sion th a t “ the present s i tuat ion is due to lack of intel l igence on the pa r t of the masses".

The remedy lies in raising the genera l social intel l igence of the peo­ple. A citizen can acquire social intel l igence th rough the “ study of social p roblems” and through for­mal sellout educat ion in history, so­ciology, government , and so on. A citizen must th roughout all this he open minded. And, complimenting college s tudents on the ir interest in public affairs, Dr. Olson said tha t a citizen can acquire social intelli­gence by fellowship discussion of pub­lic questions.

Times-do-change Note: GustavusAdolphus College men have hand­ed down this order to their feminine colleagues: “ Don’t appear to be a helpless and fragile creature. The ‘clinging vine’ type went out with the bicycle built for two.”

Genetics Class Has Interesting

W infield T ripC la s s Visits State Institution For The Feebleminded There

Fr iends and relat ives were r e u n ion the recent t r ip to Winfield,

when the Genetics class, with a few v i s i t o r s made its annua l visit to the Inst i tut ion for the Feebleminded. The group met at the Inst i tut ion at 1:00 and were taken to the a u d i t o r ­ium where Dr. Hawk gave a very interest ing and informal lecture on the types and causes of feeb lemind­edness. He showed cases of the different types and pointed out the i r specific character ist ics. After the lec­ture the group was shown through the wards.

We don' t know what Freder ick Wiley h a s that we don' t have, but the gals real ly fell for him. And we think we’ve found jus t the t h i n g for Forney. One of the inma te s can tell the t ime to the mi nu te without a t imepiece of any kind.

Needless to say, the reunion of Evelyn Amos and Winton Sheffe r

with the i r long lost b rothers, was a touching scene. And did Sallie stick her neck out when she asked | the “ Lord Mayor’’ wha t he spent the income from his pop s tand for and was told in no uncer ta in te rm s tha t “ tha t was his b us in ess ! ”

They have some mu sic ians down there, too. Two are negroes, one who sings “ Sweet Je nn y Lee” and the o ther “ Old Time Rel ig ion” . The pianist is very good and not only plays “ Old Rugged Cross” but “ whis­tles l ike a t r a i n . ”

They a re just one big happy f a m ily and enjoy company as much as

any of us. Af te r fond farewel ls the roll was cal led and the group s ta r ted home— and incidently, it is th o u g h t they all got he re — even Mrs. P lu to and fami l y .

In the pas t var ious me thods have been employed to br ing ab o u t pay ­ment . One method which has been qui t e effect ive is the w i th ho ld i ng of t h e Q uadrang le s from all members of o rganiza t ions who have not c om ­pleted th e i r collection of dues.

Af ter a long march down the field the Fancy Dans scored f i r st when West l ing plunged over f rom the 6- yard line. Ano the r p lu nge by W e s t ­ling converted to m a k e th e score 7-0. The f reshmen had th e hall in the i r possession only once d u r i n g the quarte r.

West l ing scored aga in in th e th i rd q u a r t e r a f t e r a f r e s h m a n pe na l ty had put the ball on th e two ya rd s t r ipe. His kick for conve rs ion w as good, and the score became 20-0.

A fake ru n n in g play of f of a pu n t forma t ion paved the way for a fo u r t h q u a r t e r score, as Myers p lu n g e d 21 ya rds to fool the helpless Gabbers .He was s topped by E b e r l y , frosh back. Miller then scored f rom the 6-yard line. Mye rs ’ p lu nge for the convers ion was unsuc cess f u l a n d the score became 26-0.
