"--GLADLY WOLDE HE LERNE"

To those who would like to see the University become more and more a place for individual thought and work, the announcement that the Modern Language Conference has decided to admit undergraduates to membership is a pleasing one. It follows along the lines of confidence in the undergraduate marked out by the new ruling, that allows Seniors to take only three courses, and admits that the collegiate brain can be interested in things of the mind.

Of course, not everyone can join, nor will everyone want to do so. But the man who takes his studies seriously, and who is looking ahead to higher degrees in his field will find in the meetings of the Conference a valuable opportunity. The advantages to be gained from any workshop or technical laboratory of this sort have been proved too often to be open for dispute. The constant exemplification of methods used in study and research is fully as desirable in the field of literature as it is in that of history, the classics, or the drama.

This new attitude of sympathy with the seriously working undergraduate is as yet but a seeding. The desirability of its growth and development is, however, unquestionable.
