Professor Earl R. Bohling, head of McPherson's Commerce department, for the past eight years, will not resume his teaching duties next fall. Because of ill health he has deemed it necessary fo move to his farm In Marion County, where be may take an active part in the work.

His farm, located twelve miles south of Marion, consists of 240 acres of land. Mr. Bohling plans to rent 160 acres to a tenant who is now living on the place. The two men will handle all the farming activities.

General farming, with considerable emphasis on livestock, will be the type of agriculture on his farm. Much of the land is pasture; therefore the Increased Interest In livestock. About 80 acres will be planted In wheat. A. tractor will be the biggest source of power, and one team of horses will also be used.


Professor Bohling Turns To Agriculture


Mr. Bohling. who doesn't care particularly to talk about himself or his activities, did state that he does not intend to return to teaching. As to cooperating In the governments conservation program—yes, he will take active part In the plan.

Professor Bohling's farming activities are to him "Just a vacation.” "Rather than go to the mountains. I'm going to the farm," he explain ed, but If a good offer comes along In the business field, he is ready to take It. That's what be intends to do. at least after several years on the farm."

When asked about how much business ability the farmer should possess he quickly said, "The farmer should be just as much as a business man as the fellow on Main street." He stated that the farmer should apply his knowledge of economics on the farm.

"Victory Dinner" Climaxes Effort;

Harold Case Speaks

The campaign is over the top. The $40,000 quota has been raised. Although the "Victory Dinner' report fell a little short of this figure, the remainder was pledged the following day.

Paul Sargent's group was high division for the evening reporting $2,910. Simon Strouse presented the Division A report revealing $2641. Homer Ferguson, leader of Division C report'd $1952. These figures added to the previous total of the campaign gave a grand total of $38,865.

Additional pledges later in the evening brought the final figure Tuesday night to $39,215. Mrs. H. A. Quiring’s team was high among the women's groups announcing $891.00 In her Tuesday evening report. R. E. Mohler was high team of the "Victory Dinner” report and has been quite consistently throughout the campaign. He reported $953.50.

E. A. Wall, chairman of the campaign, presided as toastmaster. Music by the McPherson College String Choir Immediately preceded the Invocation offered by Rev. G. L. Coppedge. Special music was offered by the mixed chorus under the direction of Professor Nevin Fisher.

Pierce In Charge

Mr. Pierce was in charge of tha campaign reports. The campaign leaders expressed their appreciation to their workers, and Mr, Pierce said a few words thanking his workers and helpers for their loyal spirit and splendid cooperation. Dr. J. J. Yoder also spoke In behalf of the Central Committee. Mr. Pierce’s work In the campaign was highly commended by President V.

An expression of appreciation was also extended the banquet committees for their efficient work.

Before Dr. Schwalm Introduced the main speaker of the evening, the male quartette sang two numbers.

Case Speaks

Speaking on "The Function of Education," Dr. Harold Case, pastor of the First Methodist Church, To-peka. said In opening his address, "I am here to share with you the great-ness of the fact of education. You are all concerned with McPherson College and what the College is to do for education"

A brief survey of world troubles, especially relevant to educational methods In Germany. Russia and It-aly was used as a basis for the discussion of the function of education in the United States. "I believe cultural contributions outlive violence," Dr. Case stated, and emphasized that the real and worthwhile things of civilization are ideas. Ideals, phili-sophy, traditions, hopes, and aspirations rather than things material.

Democracy Must Succeed

"If democracy Is to succeed It needs education. In Russia a difference of opinion is fatal. In Italy all education must, center around Fascism. In Germany education is based on one god, one goal, one convic-tion—the state." Education gives us a perspective of life; any prevalence of biased thinking or propaganda la a retreat from democracy.

Education, Dr. Case said, permits people to climb high enough to get over the storm. The educational Institutions of the country hold the key to future society. The responsibility of education Is to bring to the people valid goals great goals to approach and to participate in great enterprises.

It is only through a very unusual arrangement that these artists were procured for this concert.

’37 Quadrangle

Goes to Press

Distribution of College Year Books to be May 19

Students will soon get what they have been anxiously waiting for— The 1937 Quadrangle. The book went to press last week and the date of distribution has boon moved up to May 19.

It is the task of the quadrangle staff during the courso of the school year to bring to the school a pictorial review, or summary of events and high points reached during the year. The book is built with a view of keeping fresh in our minds, when wo have left these halls of learning, those associations which we held most dear while here on the campus, and this being the editor’s second year editing the annual he has done his utmost to make this book the best book to have ever been published here at the college.

This year's book will have two important distinctions,' the first be-ing that it will bo the fiftieth anniversary annual, and the second, and it being a high honor, is that the 1937 Quadrangle will be the first book west of the Mississippi to be printed In or to use a certain kind of type face, the credit going to The Republican printers of the annual, who bought this now type face especially for the printing of the Quadrangle. Stating the editor, "Profiting from last year's experience as editor. I hope we have been able produce a book that the students will be proud of. I have seen a lot of small college annuals, and I will put this year's Quadrango up against any of them. including this year's cron of annuals."

New Company To Bnd

The book is being bound this year by a different company from that of last years. Last year it was bound In St. Louis, however, this year they are being bound In Kansas City. They will be ready for distribution by May 19th, which means that those students who have not finished paying for their Quad and have not paid their class dues, have only four weeks to do so, for it is certain that no student will receive his book until he does. So start in paying now, even if it can only be a small payment. Remember, Just four weeks, and time Is flying. Don't put it off any longer.

ticeably.

Very shortly on our campus there In to be another opportunity for McPherson students to support or refuse to support again a very worthwhile program of high-class music. Professor Loren Crawford is sponsoring a chamber music festivalsomething new on the campus—to to take place over a period of three days. May 9, 10 and 11. There is to be a concert by the Hutchinson High school String Choir, which Is rated very highly throughout the state. There Is an afternoon sonata concert by Professors Crawford and Fisher. The McPherson String Ensemble will present an evening concert. And as a grand finale. Professor Crawford Is securing the services, of a duo-piano team from Southwestern College at Winfield, which Is top-ranking thruout the southwest.

The music to bo played Is of the highest quality. Such Immortal masters as Beethoven, Handel, Schubert. Haydn and Mozart and such modern composers as Ravel are to be featured.

The cost to students is slight. Season tickets to all the concerts cost only 50c. Many people pay three and four times this much to go out of town for only one program, of no higher quality. No one can complain validly on the basis of expense.

The challenge is plain—will the student body support this series of programs, or will it stay In the rut of cultural Ignorance and disinterest? It Is to be hoped that there are enough students on the campus with esthetic sensitivity to refuse to allow the college ever again to disgrace itself by such a lack of cooperation and support of campus activities as was exhibited two weeks ago.

Reflections of a Senior


who expect students to agree with everything they say. Regardless of the . fact that the pupil's belief can bo substantiated, he Is still required, on the test paper at least to agree with the professor. This is not a product of a fantastic Imagination but an actuality on the campus of McPherson College. .

Pedantism of this type, It seems to me, encourages wholesale plagarism from the teacher at the expense of Individual, student thinking. Not only this, but it encourages students to answer in a certain way. not because they believe. what they say. but merely to get in good with the prof and thereby earn a good grade Those who refuse to "polish the apple’ consequently suffer a lowering In grades. Logically this type of training fosters the ,'get by" psychology which we so often find on college campuses. Students, as a result of being subjected to such conditions, come out into the world with the primary Intention of acting not In accord with their belief, but In such a way that they can "get by" society.

To the extent- that education requires student assent in spite of a belief to the contrary It Is a failure. In this case education becomes tool of regimentation. Obviously freedom of education In a democratic country cannot be built upon such a basis. -

Another week of the year his passed, and there Is hardly a thing worth mentioning. From our point of vantage, we looked down, and to our amazement, wo found that the first gallery was absolutely unoccupied. Perhaps the fact that "there’s no place like home" has something to do with It.

And speaking of Senators, a new Inducement for college men to enter politics. Is the easy money that these statesmen are picking up by endorsing cigarettes. One thousand dollars for a short paragraph certifying the superiority, of a brand of cigarettes Is easier than money from home. Or at least many Senators think so.

Let’s Go to the Festival

Many of those who attended the orchestra concert two weeks ago were somewhat surprised at the very small audience. In light of meager facilities and reduced personnel of the group, the concert was well chosen and excellently given; despite this fact, however, the Joy in giving, or in listening to, the concert was marred by the acutely apparent lack of audience. A mere handful of students and townsfolk turned out for this high-quality cultural program.

How is one to account for this lack of interest? Was It lack of quality of the program?

Hardly—Hayden. Beethoven, and Grie 3/8 are names not to be treated lightly.

Was It expense? No—the performance was free.

Was there no time for students and townspeople to go?

Not likely—there was no conflict, and most students seem to find ample time for shows any night of the week.

Then to what can this lack of support be attributed? The answer lies In a timeworn and all too valid criticism of McPherson College. A fre-quest observation of outsiders who have an objective standpoint Is that there is a palpable lack of cultural appreciation on this campus. To this, more than to any other factor, can be traced the lack of support for the orchestra concert.

The criticism is only too true And thinking student confirms the Judgment, and laboring the point Is unnecessary. However, there Is no valid reason why the criticism should be made legitimately In the future. It the student body at large would resolve to support In the future at least the regular artistic activities of the college, the cultural atmosphere of the school would be Improved no

College certainly offers a young person a wide range of opportunities, Many of us no doubt, can think of high school classmates have not attended college; to a very large degree they have. not had the oppor-tunities that we have had. This does not merely Include educational opportunities but also social and re-creational; the- most enjoyable years of life are probably those spent In college. The difference, between your high school classmate who has not attended college and yourself . is largely a difference In opportunities. College is a rich and concentrated dose of possibilities, which., taken to help our native Intelligence generally serves to help bring it through adolescence to a better balanced, more mature state.

A Short Story

(With all due apologies to Eugene Field)

A college girl and a college boy Sat side by side and oh what Joy! It was half past ten on Saturday night

And the girl turned around with fear and fright—    

The steering wheel and the back seat too

Were mighty scared for they sure knew

They’d not get home by eleven that

night.

(I wasn’t there I only knew That the seat behind Just said ’twas so.)

The girl cried, "Dear what shall we

do?"

She was rather pale and blue;

The college boy glanced down at the lass

And said. ’I've really got to step on the gas!"

So he took a grip and kept his nerve—

Made seventy-five on the final curve And reached the dorm as the whistle blew.

(Of course I wouldn’t want to squeal ’Twas told to me by the steering

wheel.)

But Congress Is trying cope with the problem directly by considering the Sheppard-Hill bill, reported out of the Senate military affairs committee last week. The bill is dangerous been use, by exploiting the Idea of eliminating war profits, the legislation proposes to give legal binds to the War Departments Industrial mobilization plan.

Bob Weigand’s theme song seems to be these days:

"Oh where is my lover, can anyone tell?

I’ll Mary another I love just as well."

What a man this Harris. After driving all night, he could still be as fresh as a daisy when he stalked over to see our successfully prospective teacher the following evening.

Things that I like:

Girls are so studious they decide to stay strictly on the campus for a

week's time.

The new ingenious emergency kit that has been provided for the second floor of Fahnestock.

The wholesome, hospitable spirit displayed by those who co-operated by giving their rooms to the S. C. M. Cabinet for the visitors of the conference. Pray, Is not that good Christianity?

Work and I

Oh Work, why do I labor so To get you all completed?

So many things I do not know—

It makes me feel depleted.

Every day you Increase in size— While Spring brings forth new weather;

Say. why do I work ’mid these sighs, Say, why do I work 'mid tehse sighs, When days are like a feather.

I’d like to be by the shady brook. And listen to the fishes Go flapping by to some dark nook; And there propound my wishes.

Oh Work, you will not let me go— I'll fight you to the finish;

It must he that I’ll always know Without you I’d diminish.

Climaxes Primaries

Voters Crowd Polls To Choose

Candidates For Final Vote

Students crowded and shoved their way Into the chapel last Thursday to hear the ballyhoo speeches for the candidates In the Primary election. President Rock took matters In hand as the curtain was drawn back, and the main speakers of the morning twiddled their thumbs awaiting their turn to break forth Into loud and emphatic declarations for their candidates.

Since there were candidates for only two positions up for election, there was not as much of that political campaign spirit as usually prevails at student elections. However. the ballyhoo speakers pounded on the table, shouted for "a man who.* a “man who will", and ran around the stage avoiding Johnsie's paddle.

After the speeches the voters swarmed to the polls to “vote for two for both Treasurer of Student Council and Men’s Cheer leader. Competitors for these positions as will appear on today’s ballot in the final election are: Joelle Letkeman and William Thompson, Treasurer of Student Council; Addison West and Bill Fry. Men's Cheer Leader.

Just A Tumbleweed

.Sitting here a pliable mortal being Knowing that you too once had life. This carcass, I hold.

A riding mass of cellulose;

Only the harder portions of a thing that was,

You are dead.

Never shall the wind Swing your thistles beneath the prairie sun.

And photosynthesis will ne'er change Those stiff, hard and dry stems.

Of that life that was Does nothing remain?

Blistering summer winds dried your stems.

Bitter winter winds tore you from

your rest;

And rolled you

Hither and yon. from fence to fence O’er this bubble of the Cosmos.

But In your migrations from thence to hence,

At each Jar and shock of howling, swirling winds

Little seeds dropped from your stems

Each a unit of life.

Your life Is not In those seeds;

'Tis true

Their life Is due to your life.

But as one candle Is lighted From another.

So your life gave life to matter.

Mortal man cannot know The present state

Of what you had, that you do not have.

But man does know That

You gave life by living your life.

The Thespian Club play “For All of Us.' Is going Into Its second week of rehearsals. Practices are being held daily. The capable cast under the skilled direction of Miss Della Lehman and Margaret Messamer, are working diligently to produce a masterpiece worthy of the high ap-preciation accorded productions of this club in past years.

The play Is a serious drama based on events In the household of Frederick Warren, Invalid banker. Although this play Is of a serious and mysterious nature sparkling comedy relief given the production balance.

The outstanding difference be-tween the family system in Japan and that In Europe and America Is that while the former parents and children form the nucleus of the family, in the latter the married couple Is rather the center of the family. The family In Japan Is commonly called a large family, and that In Europe and America can be said to be a small or a modem family. The former Is a family strong In the Idea of constancy, aiming at preservation of the family name, family lineage, mode of life of the family, family occupation, and properly of the family. The latter has no Inheritance of the family lineage, family occupation, and property. A new family Is created by a man and woman. and Is dissolved when they die or separate. In short, the longevity of the family Is that of the couple.'

Binding Ties Of course, even In a family with the couple as a center, children are included, but In such a family the position of the couple is more Important than the union of parents and children. The tie that binds the couple Is far -stronger than that binding the parents and children. How-ever strongly the parents and children are united by ties of kinship, the children will part from the parents and create new families when they get married The new couple do not follow the mode of the old family as members of It. Nor do they Inherit the family lineage. They live their own lives wherever they please, apart from the parents. If they Inherit anything from the parents. It is nothing more than material property with a market value. There Is not from the parents family any abstract or spiritual Inheritance.

Secondary Significance In the Japanese family the cou-ple has a secondary significance, simply members of the family. The prime Importance in this family is the fact that family name, lineage and occupation are handed on. Prosperity, and the couple's Importance is only insofar as they serve this purpose of the preservation of the family. If some one else better qualified to maintain the family lineage can be secured from outside, the couple Is not necessarily the essen-tial element of the family. Such -family Is called a large family, but It does not always mean members. However large, a family which has

not for Its object the preservation of family lineage, is not called a large family. On the other hand, a small family consisting only Of the parents and a now couple Is called a large or patriarchal family as long as It maintains Its durability.

Family preservation The Japanese family, whether large or small, makes It a cardinal point to preserve the family. Many families among the Intelllgentia apparently are modern families: but still they are seeking Inheritors for that purpose when we analyze the psychology. When they have no Inheritors among their kin they adopt from outside the family. This fact shows that the family treasures more highly succession of the lineage than anything else. Otherwise It Is not necessary to adopt Inherit-tors outside and consequently the adoption would have no meaning. They would not need to worry over Inheritors If the object of In-Inheritance were simply material with market value. The inheritance In not alone material, but family name, the lineage, etc., that must he long preserved. Seeing that even Intelligentia desires Inheritance of this kind. It Is quite natural for the more conservative class to cherish the Idea of family preservation even more strongly.

Hershey Lectures on Radium

Dr. J. W. Hershey, head of the Chemistry departments gave a lecture on radium at the regular meeting of the Chemistry Club last Thursday evening.

A demonstration of cothocle tubes, radium substances, electron tubes, and X-Ray tubes was given during the lecture by Norman Edwards and Kenneth Bentson. Examples of radium and radium substances were shown after the lecture.

It's only five more weeks till our Professor Hess becomes an "Agri-cola," technically his interests will not be concerned with tilling the soil but rather with raising cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry.

Ms. Hess takes care of his 240 acres, located eleven miles east of Burlington. Kansas during the summer months and the ranch is taken care of by his brother-in-law while the Professor Is teaching at McPherson. Professor Hess plans to move himself and family to his new home when he retires In a few years.

Mr. Hess spends a little time each summer on repairing and Improving him farm.

In the summer of '34 he constructed a 30x40 straw loft chicken house. His hen house has a concrete floor and will eventually have electric lights. A sheep barn 32x38 was erected also out of wood from a wrecked railroad station at Kincaid.

Last year he put In a 32x36 cattle barn on the east side of the sheep

barn. He has installed a new pump that has a fifty barrel storage tank. He has water piped to the basement, kitchen and bam. Pipes are ready for irrigation. There are three natural springs that have kept running through the dryest summers. The house pump Is capable or pumping one-hundred barrels a day.

Professor Hess will be introduce Ing something new In farm equip-ment with his electrified fence. The fence will be of two wires. one one foot from the ground the other four feet from the ground. The wire will be charged from a six volt battery to keep the stock from straying. Professor Hess and family spend their summer in a box car remodeled and furnished In country house style.

The farm la. situated at the top of a hill and country for five miles around can be viewed, A small apple and peach orchard Is at the back of the ranch. Our Professor's ambition Is to be a successful stock farm er and we are sure be will in a few years have a prize farm.

Robertson Is a middle distance runner as well as a relay man. Toland handles the dashes. Including the century . dash, the 220 and the shorter relay events.

Coach Claude Flory's Bulldog ten-nis team Is in condition to meet the Coyote racket swingers In a dual meet Thursday afternoon during the track meet. As a result of McPherson's smashing victory over the Ster, ling college tennis team last night. Conch Flory Is looking forward to a strong showing against Wesleyan players.

The dual meet with Kansas Wesleyan will be the only track and tennis activity for the Bulldogs this week.

In a greeting sent through the Institute of International Education to American college students who may be planning a year or more of study In one of the great European Universities, Dr. John Murray, Principal of the University College of the South West of England, Exeter, says In part:

"Presidents and professors and students themselves as well have taken up the now crusade of good-will and understanding, believing that the generous youth that flock to the Universities are good nationals and good internationals. To have a deep conviction of patriotism reaches halfway at least towards regard for the patriotism of other races. The cosmopolitan, who Is neither national nor international. Is a comparative rare type In Universities or in any gatherings of the young. Pride In one’s own race calls across the frontiers to the pride of others in theirs and mutual respect provokes Interest and prepares the way for warmer feelings.

"There is great hope for the world

Debaters Honor Professor Hess

At the Booz homo Friday night, April 23. the members of the debate squad and a few alumnae gathered together in honor of their coach, Professor Maurice A. Hess. The evening's entertainment was carried out In the form of a tournament and was a great success.

Games were played throughout the evening. William Thompson was master of ceremonies. The evening's entertainment was brought to a close by a debate on the eubject: "Resolved that men have done more to advance civilization than women.’ The affirmative was upheld by Marjorie Booz and Inez Goughner.

In the potential of Internationalism in the educated youth of the nations. But the potential can only actualize If the young of different races meet under favouring conditions. Nowhere can they meet more auspiciously than in the Universities. A proviso, however, is needed: this will be true, provided that the Universities have an eye for the opportunity. and the skill and the will to use it. University Internationalism calls for planning and policy. The present age Is a time of experiment In this matter. In a few decades the questions of method will Wonders of Chemistry" will be shown. All who are Interested are cordially invited to attend, be settled. In a few more the sponsors of the methods will have won financial support for their ideas. Then will come the world's true Golden Age, or the first far glimpses of It, the Age when generous youth, forging their own links of respect and liking across the frontiers, will undo the partisan mischiefs and the bitter estrangements of old times."

Philip Davis and Addison West took the negative.

ninfc. William Thompson was master

Prof. Hess was rewarded for his long, faithful service as a debate coach, by the Alumna debaters and members of this year’s Duo Bitta Spicha conclave by the presentation of an upholstered easy chair.
