PROGRESS
It is characteristic of age to be conservative, of youth to be progressive, and
even radical at t imes.
Age takes results into consideration before action is decided on; has a re-
spect and regard for tradition. Eolith is inclined to be impulsive, disregardful
of consequences. immune to the lure of tradition, and entirely unmindful of the
arguments of elderly minds, having ambition as the only criterion and convic-
tion. often, the only logic.
These, of course, are trite sayings, and nobody will regard them, because they
have heard them oft before.
But, i I' the caution of age could catch something of the enthusiasm of youth!
If the enthusiasm of youth could be leavened by the cautnoi of age!—what then
could not be achieved !
When caution impedes tin* path of progress, when conservatism bars the road
to achievement, then caution and conservatism have ceased to be virtues.
When impulsiveness and ardent conviction become the only road to progress
and achievement then impulsiveness and conviction have become cardinal virtues.
When the time comes that ancient traditions must be overstepped to permit
the dawn of a new order, when time-honored customs and institutions must be
swept away to clear the way to a new scheme of things, to a new and a construc-
tive program, then the impulsiveness, enthusiasm and conviction of youth must
become the weapons of achievement.
Tradition ought never to obstruct progress; time honored customs and in-
stitutions ought never to impede progress.

I when the Phi’s snapped their pin on

WHERE THIEVES BREAK THROUGH AND STEAL
Mankind’s most despicable product and humanity’s most obnoxious speci-
men—the college thief. He watches until you carelessly leave your books in
the open, then grasps them hurriedly and makes his getaway, lie traverses the
halls of the dormitories with a stealthy and secretive step, halting fearfully at
the least sound, lest his nefarious work become known. Finding a door open,
the room unoccupied, he enters, makes a hasty survey, then pilfers the room of
everything of value—money, clothing, books and anything that will satisfy his
depraved lust.
He walks about among his fellow students with an honest face. He is taken
into the confidence of honest men and women. He is respected by gentlemen
when he has violated every instinct of the gentleman. He is welcomed into the
society of good citizens when he has violated every prnicciple of citizenship, de-
feated the oldest ideals of social life, and proved himself society’s most danger-
ous enemy.
Down with the college thief! When he is caught, expel him, because he has
no place in a community where honor and respect for the rights of others should
prevail.
