So we will have "l»" for the lowest average grade that our athletics are allowed to make. And wli> not: "D" though not as great a symbol of excellent work as "A," yet does the work, it is passing and though merely to pass. i> not our aim. yet it must he satisfactory, or would our conscientious facultv allow us credit on "D'I "? Some will doubtless SB) that we. 8 respectable, educational institution, should not feel proud to be represented in athletics by people of only "D" averages. Hut wait; they arc not to represent us seholastically. but athletically, which is entirely another matter. If we wire selecting cultural representatives, we would doubtless choose the girls who are most seholastically inclined. Then, there is this argument: Some say it is not best for the athletes, ti allow them to play on our team with s,, low an average, that if we do. we will be allowing them to sacrifice themselves for the school, and thai our studies are most important, after all. We can't deny that this is rather true. Yet. isn't ever) nirl the best judge of what means most to her individually? And is it such an ignoble thing to sacrifice self to Vlma Materi \nd aren't there other things in the World besides Studies? No, ol course we would not say let lessons go entirely, but as we have said before, "D" is passing grade. It we investigate we find thai great majority of high-standing colleges have "D" for the lowest possible average for their Varsitj players. Originality is all right in its place, but why be absurdly odd DON'T QUIT! When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill. When the funds an- low, and the debts are high And you want to smile, but have to Sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit. Rest, if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out ; Don't give Up, though the paCC seems ilow— You may succeed with another blow. ( Iften the goal is nearer than It seems t,, a faint and faltering man; often the straggler has given up

At Cambridge, the men break down the gates Of women's colleges, and stamp and groan when a woman enters a lecture room. At Oxford, any don or professor may exclude women from his lectures. Those who are not excluded attend with such zeal that the men students complain bitterly that they choose the best seats.
