A NEW INSTITUTION
The museum which is sponsored
by tho Simmons Round Tablo was
opened this week and a special mvi
tation was extended the students in
school to pay a visit and see tho in
teresting collection which has been
gathered. It is the plan to keep it
open all tho summer and this isa
rare opportunity for-summer stu-
dcnt3.
The museum was begun last April
through tho efforts' of the wives of
tho faculty and its rapid growth has
astounded even its founders. At first
there were only a fow antiques but
as these were shown and the interest
of tho people' of the city and the sur-
rounding country was aroused many
contributions poured lit A few things.
were given 'to the museum as a per-
manent gift.
This can become one of Simmons'
most interesting and worth while in-
stitutions if the people in the college
and outsiders continue to support it
Those who have charge are earnestly
in the business of building it up and
thoy need only the help and encour-
agement of others to make it an
even greater success. Students will
assist in a great work in visiting the
museum and showing interest in its
development. Besides that it is in-
teresting. It's an ideal place to
spend an hour of entertainment.
TnE SHOW IS COMING TO TOWN
On 'next Monday Simmons Stu-
rdents will have the opportunity to
w aad hear the very highest class
rtft-tainment hjk dramatic art
The Devereax" Players of New York
will be .here or -a matinee and even-
lag engagement. They are probably
the most widely known company of
actors irt the country' and thoy are
known for the high quality and tone
of their work. Every dramatic com-
pany tfeat comes from New York is
not unusual but tho Devereux play-
ers are.
This is the premier number of the
lyceum program which has been ar-
ranged for the summer and the stu-
dent which misses this will miss the
greatest artistic attraction that can
be seen or heard in Abilene this sum-
mer The comedy which will be gv-
en ia'the afternoon and the tragedy
which will be presented in 'the even-
ing make a well balanced program
which will make both performances
fresh and absorbing
vThe summer lyceum is no old thing.
It was initiated for the first time un-
der the blanket fee last summer.
There are many students who follow
'the teaching profession during the
other nine months of the year who
attend summer school. It is especial-
ly of benefit to them to have such
high class attractions as are brought
With the lyceum. We should con-
gratulate ourselves on having the op-
portunity to see the Devereux
Players.
t o '
THE ALUMNI PLAN
Students who are attending Sim
mons for the first time little realize
what growth this school has experi
enced in tho Inst twelve months. But
thoso of us who were here last sum
mer cannot help but take note of the
great strides that have .been taken
tho equipment that has been added
the building facilities that have been
increased and tho improvement in
the general appcaranco of the
campus.
Last year there was no separato
library building here. There was no
Cowboy Corral. Tho athletic field
was only in tho procoss of sotldlng
into a first class gridiron and base-
ball ground. Ferguson Hall was not
finished. It stood empty alono and
unoccupied. Tho lawn on the campus
was in the growing rather than the
finished stage- Everything was just
several steps behind what it is now
What reason havo wo to think that
in tho next twelvo months the im
provement will not be just as great
Students of Simmons should be
proud to be a part of a university
whose motto is progress whoso aim
Is progress to better and nobler
things.
VIEWS OF OTHERS
An attempt to bring the alumni of
Simmons more closely together is to
be made by the compiling of a com-
plete mailing list using the card in-
dex file system.. After this file Is
eempleled every member is to be
written a letter and will be urged to
get behind the movements for their
school and to attend if possible the
amttual banquet which will be held
here sext June
An organization with members
wMely scattered and disconnected
svefc as are those of the Alumni As-
jietiatloa Is a very difficult one to
kandie. This step howeyer will go
farther is rallying the forces than
asqrtliktg that could be done. Every
attsipt will be made once the mail-
tag Mat is somplete to get the Brand
to avary member of the association.
Oac this is done ex-students will
t ac peaome more interested in
tka program of Simmons University.

GREEK VS. MOPPING
The perfect university curriculum
has been found! At least one institu
tion of higher learning can start
shedding tears Alexander-like for
moro subjects to offer. A Western
school has announced that a course
will be given next summer in janitor-
ing. And the authorities of the
school actually have the nerve to' call
it janitoring not building economics:
The pen is mightier than the sword
it has been said. Now we must go
a step further and admit that the
mop is mightier than the pen. We
suppose tho professor will gesture
with a broom on dust doth- Maybe
the whole plan Is just t scheme to do
away with the janitors of the build-
ings of the school. and call the build-
ings a janitoring laboratory. If a
student brushes the dirt in corners
or under the furniture will tho stu-
dent council call him in for cheating
on examination?
This Bchool must have started a
course in ditch digging long ago. And
breaking rock. Surely a degree or
so is necessary before one can really
master the fine points of swinging a
sledgo hammer. Have the authorities
really considered how many illiterate
persons wash dishes? The total
would be appalling. Can't some in-
stitution financed by taxpeyers' mo-
ney or by tender hearted individuals
afford a chair of dish washing?

WARM WEATHER AND STUDY
Warm weather and study have a
close relationship although they ap-
parently have little to do with each
other. Indeed the two are so seldom
known together' that one would think
that warm weather meant that
studying 'was auomatically discarded
as a habit as soon as the thermome-
ter begins to rise. The amount of
study seems to vary inversely with
the degrees Fahrenheit the higher
the thermometer the lower the am-
ount of study.
It is hard to study when it is hot
That is granted. But just because
the weather Fs too warm for perfect
comfort does not mean that one
should cease to work entirely. A sys-
tematic and well-planned scheme of
study wilf make your work easier.
You can do it moro quickly and with
the least expenditure of effort if you
know exactly when you are going to
perform each task that comes during
the day and when you are going to
Study each lesson. Don't set about
your summer's work in a haphazard
slipshod sort of way. Plan your days
definitely so that you may "get your
work done quickly and be through
with It Summer days are too warm
to put off your work and keep on
worrying about it Worry and per-
spiration are natural consorts and
the less worrying you do over work
that you have put off until the last
minute the cooler you are going to
be Flan your work. Baylor Bells-
