Show JVO TE: The followi?ig is written with special apology to Prof. Coray and Dr. Howard, and with the hope that the '' Year Book"' may become either a hand-book on sociology or an addition to the "£/" MuseumOCIOLOGICALLY speaking some things are a necessary evil; others are not even that. Among the necessary evils of college life the " Student Body" comes next to the Faculty. But, how is the "Student Body" a necessary evil? Cease such lethargic questioning, and within its hollow shell give thy reasoning a more profound amplitude. Could there be a college without a student Body! Could there be a greater evil in a college than some student bodiesf Certainly not! Therefore sociologically the '' Student Body '' becomes a necessary evil.However, from the other point of view-that of the museum-the 11 Student Body " is rather an enigma. It cannot be considered as a fossil because in recent years it has manifested nearly life-like activity and at times has seemed almost human. Scientifically, it might be called a heterogeneous mass, for it is composed of all sorts of students and all sorts of bodies. It embraces some bodies, no bodies. Most of the latter class, however, have lacked the zip and interest to join the "Associated Students;" these, after being properly labeled, are to be turned over to the Curator of the Museum. |
