Show OUR NATIONAL RECOGNITIONThe University of Utah has at last gained national recognition in some line at least, and that honor is bestowed on us through our own dean of women. At last we have become noted and Dean Lucy M. Van Cott is the cause of it all.The Northwestern Purple Parrot in their 'American Mercury Number' under the heading 'Collegiana' prints the following article.UTAH"Dean Lucy M. Van Cott, with whose presence the University of Utah is blessed, exercises her profound functions with sage observation and maternal advice, her priceless gems being sprightly recorded by an unsung genius laboring for Alma Mater on the Chronicle of that haven of culture:SQUEAL PLEASES DEAN LUCY SAYS "TOO PUREâ€"NO SHOW!"Dean Lucy M. Van Cott was well pleased with the last issue of the "Squeal." It looks as though the boys will have to take themselves to the show. In her opinion it was very clever and witty and well written. She stated that she herself was not offended, but that there were one or two things which were a little offensive to other people. She has not yet read it from cover to cover, but intends to read every word. The boys responsible for it showed marked ability as writers. This was especially so in the editorials.Dean Van Cott remarked that the press had a marvelous power for moulding public opinion and that if these boys continue their efforts in the right direction we will hear from them in the future."To which we might add. "Ah well, life is like that."Page 365 |
