Dr. Deporte Speaks on Russia with a game against St. Stephen's
RUSSIAN ART STRESSED
Dr. Deporte addressed the Political
Science Club at its regular meeting,
Wednesday, November 8. His subject was " Russia in Europe,"
In answer to questions put by the
students, Dr. Deporte first talked informally on Russia's government,
past and present. Before the World
War the government, like that of
Turkey, was an absolute monarchy, in
which the people had no voice. As
early as 1812, after the invasion and
subsequent defeat of Napoleon, there
began to be a change in Russia.
Soon officers, of the army, the educated class, wei'e sent to Western
Europe to study various types of
government.
They returned with
lofty, yet perverted ideas of establishing a democracized monarchy in
which they hoped to realize the benefits and escape the evils of the

REVIEW
THE NOVEMBER
QUARTERLY
>The November issue of the Quarterly maintains the standard'of excellence which has brought this magazine praise in the past. We trust the
contest announced in the number will
remedy the publication's most serious
fault by making it more representative of the college as a whole. One
step toward the accomplishment ol
this ideal has been taken by the creation of the editorial section The
Merry Raz.
Twenty-two is grateful for the
Quarterly's reminiscent mood which
led it to present the baccalaureate
sermon and the class poem.
The other poems arc varied in content and quality, although Nature has
not the tilt and freedom from forced
rhyme which should characterize a
joyful lyric, Down and Up possesses
dainty, whimsical charm.
Poplar*

amateur, one, because of its obvious
second stanza, the other because of
its mixed hopes.

is a poem with a salt sea tang and a
vigorous sincerity. This same sincerity we find in Ruth Moore's prose
and are glad that she will relate more
Wild Anecdotes.

prose as in reality.

characterizations in the first make us
think of Hamlin Garland's Ma and
Ethel Ripley.
Author of A Perverted Sense of Humor, your humor
is not so badly wrong side up as you
believe, else you could not smile so

Do you approve of the project

read that conglomeration of sounds
called the Congo, written by Lindsay?
Did you think This Freedom true to
life? Is Babbit better than Main

Some of these questions may be
answered by reading the section
headed Book Reviews, and others by
reading the books listed in this number which are recent acquirements of
our college library.

STUDENT ASSEMBLY
Two matters of importance to the
entire student body were brought up
in student assembly Friday, November 10.
The first was concerned with the
refunding of student tax to students
leaving college during the first
semester or the early part of the second.
A member of the Finance
Hoard called to the attention of the
students the fact that should there be
much refunding the appropriations
for the various student activities
would have to be readjusted, ft was
finally decided by almost unanimous
vote that one-half the student tax,
minus the tax for infirmary fund
would be rebated only to seniors who
left before or at mid-years.
The second matter was in regard to
winter toques for the freshmen men.
Myslcania will appoint a committee
composed of members of the three
upper classes from which the men
will be expected to buy their toques.
This has been made definitely a college tradition.
