Tribute to Stout
President H. E. Stout spoke to the
Woman's Forum, Wichita Falls, on
"Patriotism," last week. Miss' Susie
Downing, oass of 1925, infjoduced
the speaker with a short talk which
sums up President Stout's contribu-
tions to T. W. C. and to Texas..
Miss* Downing'* speech is reprodu-
ced b^.ow:
"Ladies of the Forum: I assure
you that I feel highly honored to "be
called upon to introduce your speaker '
for this afternoon, and I have come,
noi with any particular ability as a
speaker, but with a feeling of just
pride in my Alma Mater„and in our
president. ' °
"When one of the ladies of the Fo-
rum asked me to make this little
speech, she said. 'We would like to
have someone who knows^'him-' • I anl
very glad to be able to say that, hav-
ing been in Texas Woman's College
for four years, I know, admire and'
highly esteem our president.
"I would not have you think.that
T. W. C. is his only interest, but my
comments will- center there, because
chat was where I knew him.
"As an ewsfodent of Texas Wom-
an's College I think of Dr. Stout not
only as an outstanding educator and
a man of the highest type of Christian
character, but to me he represents the
siun-total of all those rich experiences
days.
"Those of us who have had college
work might ask ourselves the ques-
tion, 'What is the most important
thing I gained?' Most of us would
say we went seeking knowledge, cul-
ture. etc. We find that the definite
facts learned in Trigonometry, Biol-
ogy, French, History, Literature, etc.,
have a tendency to slip away from
us. " What then, is most important ?
The thing 1 treasure most has been
that association which has resulted in
a bond- of mutual esteem between
those of us who worked together dur-
ing those years. The association with
college officials, faculty and students
has been of inestimable value, and I
like to think, in the words of Tenny-
son, that 'I am a part of all that I
haVe met.'
"There is much that I might say
about Dr. Stout's excellent qualifica-
tions for the administrative duties of
his office, but I like best to think
of him as a friend of his students.
Tie made it a point to know jus, to
call us by name. That reminds me
of the last time 1 .saw Dr. Stout on
the campus. Last September-.at the
opening of school they were having
a' get-acquainted parly for the new
girls, and in the midst of that group
was Dr. Stout, getting acquainted with
his new girls. And I remember so
well his talks to* us at chapel. I've
often wondered how he understood
our problems so well. It seems he
knew just what problems we were
facing fi-om the time we packed our
trunks and left home, and knew just
liojjr^long it would take us to begin
to feel homesick. And in his talks he
always had that gift of saying,,the
appropriate and timely thing. And he
always took such a vital part in all
campus activitie:
"I would like

YMCA Worker Speaks
on "Life's Objectives"
"Life's Objectives" was the topic
chosen by Harry E. Dodge for his
chapel talk Tuesday, March 24. For
36 years Mr. Dodge has been a leader
in y. M. C. A. work.
The main objective in life, Mr.
Dodge said, is to please God, foj, all
else is froth and vanity. Many peo-
ple have the idea that money can
irvake the.m hapjyv, hnf the p^ssior for
it only brings dark, gray, and un-
happy days. Money is the reason
many, people have Jkillffd themselves.
They had placed'money at the center
of their lives and when that was gone,
there was no other reason to live.
"What the world needs today is a
hundred men; each one a combina-
tion of Dwight L. Moody, Filly Sun-
day, and "Gypsy" Smith, who would
influence a return to God."
There will never be a commercial
revival. Mr. Dodge asserted, until
after ther-e is a religious revival, and
people become acquainted again with
God through Jesus. Mr. Dodge sug-
gested three ways of learning to know
Jesus. First, he said, search tho
scriptures to find wha't has been writ-
ten about Him; second, watch Him
work;"1 third, talk with Him often.
"The place of prayer is the place of
power, the time of prayer is the time
of power," Mr. Dodge concluded.
Dr. G. Goldsmith
Presents Fine Art
Of Architecture
¥•
Dr. Goldwin Goldsmith spoke Wed-
nesday, March 25, in a specisH ses-
sion of assembly hour which was held
12" o'clock. Dr. Goldsmith is pre-
QjAting architecture to various groups
unrjer the auspices of the committee
on education- of the American Tnsti-
0 '
tute of Architects.
Dr. Goldsmith's talk was very in-
formal and non-technical, designed to
give a greater appreciation of beauty
as expressed in the fine art of archi-
tecture. H^^aid that one comes in
contact with the results of the fine
arts so frequently that1 One must learn
the underlying principles of fine arts.
He quoted' from Zlegfield. "Beauty
gives us the last thrill left in a .me-
chanical age."
He stressed the importance of
knowing that fine arts are more than
"an oil' painting in a gilt frame."
Dr. Goldsmith urged that people
be inquisitive about the principles
governing architecture. In fact, he
insisted that one go as far as the Ut-
ile girl who wanted to know what the
cat was trying to find out when curi-
osity killed it.
The mgny ways in which "welcome"
may-be expressed in landscape archi-
„ tecture and in phases of home-build-
ing even so small as the front door
were pointed out.
Proportion is orfe of the basic prin-
ciples (*s(the fine arts, according to
the *spea k(H\ Color harmony is an-
other very essential principle, and this
one may be applied even to make-up
and dressing. Color harmony is also
met in business and home decoration.
Composition is also one of these es-
sentials in any fine art, he said.
Japan stresses art in all of her
schools, even the telephone girls have
classes in flower arrangement.
Dr. Goldsmith urged that art not
be considered a highbrow matter for
u few people, but that it be looked
npon as an every day necessity.

Over Open Forum
President H. E. ijtout presided at
the open forum meeting of the Uni-
versity Club Tuesday night. Dr. A.
Eustace Ilaydon of the University of
Chicago, lectured on "The Drift of
Modern Religion," advancing the
idPa.of a universal religion into
which would be fused the cardinal and
.fundamental principles of all the re-
ligions of the world.
Di*. Haydon said that all religion is
drifting toward a world brotherhood

is nearer the Liberal Confucionist
than 1ft ^ to the fundamentalist
Christian.

Soccer and Baseball
Are Being Practiced
Who says that, the Americans
aren't following in the footsteps of
the Italians. Well, confidentially
■ they are—at least I hope we are
Americans. The reason for all this
foot tracing, etc., is because we are
jUiying soccer, and they call it foot-
bull in Italy, and the boys play it V
there instead of the girls. However,
I think some boys play it over here
too. It is an excellent game for ac-
quiring broken toes and sprained an-
kles. There is one very outstanding
drawing card for this game and that
is that these people who have not up ^
until now been able to use their heads ■
have the chance of a life time now to
do it. It is perfectly permissable to
stick one's head out and gently tap
the ball allowing it to roll into the
goal—that is, if you aren't afraid of
hurting your head. Most anybody
around jlere though would be safe
under any circumstances, so be a he-
roine and make goals—they always
help when playing a match game.
Looks as if there is going to be a
shortage on both soccer and baseball
teams. It's bad enough to fiave to
make practices for one team much
less two, and the sad part is that it
is too bad and not more than six or
seven are making both practices.
Sounds like bad business. However,
as I'm only a mere cub reporter it ,
isn't for me to say.
' It's a rare sight to watch 'em slug
at the balls and miss 'em. It's a
shame there aren't any female Babe
Ruth's in this institution. Ruth Bai-
ley and Ruth Rutherford do not qual-
ify for various reasons. Evefl at that
there are some promising young
things coming out. Then there are
those who will die with this reputa-
tion (so far as baseball is concerned,
please don't misunderstand me): "No
"Hits, No Runs, No Errors."
Here's hoping thar if no one else
gets two teams out o' the practice*
that the Fish, Sophs, Koros, and
S.M.K. do, so that they c: 'i have their
annual battles.
