DIRTY WORK AFLOAT

Cambridge is not the only victim of student riots. The Sailing University, aboard the S. S. Ryndam, evidently also has its off-shore moments and they are not according to the authorities of divers foreign ports, of the mildest nature. In Tokyo the studious young wanderers disported themselves in a manner deemed both boisterous and annoying; reports from the barrooding were of extraordinary business and from the police of grievous wounds to their civic dignity." No "official actions" was taken and presumably the University continues to swim its way around the globe, trusting in the triumph of mind over matter and in the hope that human nature is the same towards college boys the worlds over.

One recalls the wistful ambition of Nanette--of "No, No, Nanette,"--all she wanted but that most deariy was "to raise a little hell". Similarly with the passengers of the Ryndam. It is extremely difficult to be collegiate when one's activities are confined to the decks of a ship; young and adventurous souls crave wider spheres, no doubt feeling that they are capable of bigger and better things. Therefore the ports visited along the primrose path to higher education an not only opportunities to examine bizarre architectures and to pass off foreign language requirements; they are to be compared with the nocturnal diversions of big game weekends when everything but a desire to submerge dry and musty knowledge in the enjoyments of wine, women and song or at least song--is cast to the winds. And when those winds are of the seven seas the celebrations may last longer than a weekend and may be slightly more bacchie.
