Educational Policy

THERE IS UNDOUBTEDLY a very warm feeling among undergraduates for their sister collegians from Smith College. This crops out in the occasional proposals of TheDartmouth that sons of Smith teachers be given free tuition at Dartmouth, and that faculty daughters be given free privileges at Smith. Another evidence is the testimony of postmasters in Hanover and Northampton who say that the heaviest exodus of mail from each precinct is directed toward the other. The Romance Language department has formed a liason with the Smith language clubs and the result seems excellent.

At a recent soiree in the Little Theater the Dartmouth clubs entertained guests from Smith who appeared to speak fluently in several languages. Plays by the French, Spanish, and Italian clubs were performed to the evident delight of the cosmopolitan audience. It was all very confusing to those who couldn't understand anything that was said, but they were in the minority and even they had a delightful evening. It was a gay mixture of academic accomplishment and socializing. Representatives of the Smith group extended greetings in three languages and were followed by a delegate from the Dartmouth German Club, who gutterally assured the crowd of "Germania's" good wishes, in the language of his Club. Dancing followed with a great intermingling of nationalities and a constant babbling of all tongues. The party was a pleasant demonstration that there may be fun in studies, after all.
