Description

College Life and Study: "Do not let your studies interfere with your college education," is the motto which adorns the walls of many a student's room and quiets his conscience upon coming in at a late hour "when good fellows get together." This frequenter of moving picture houses, grandstands, and corridors we call a "student" for want of a safer word, though it sometimes obviously does him an injustice. Even before entering college the ques-tion of study is faced. He hears accounts of initiations and celebrations. His chum's big brother tells him confidentially just what he must do in order to be rushed into the right fraternity. Everywhere is the spirit of the "good fellow" and the joys of the school curriculum are little discussed. With his mind set on going to college he reads all that comes to hand on the subject. The newspapers give details of the games and full length portraits of the heroes. They report night shirt parades, dances, hazing, smokers--anything but studies.
