BOOST THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
Milne High students should patronize their advertisers more.
If all the students would only buy from the firms that advertise in
the ‘Crimson and White,’’ we would have a much finer paper. Sup-
pose the students did this, and purchased articles only from the
plaees that advertised in the ‘‘Crimson and White,’’ the result
would be that we would have many more advertisements.
It is up to the individual student to patronize the people who
advertise in the school paper. One man promised to put an adver-
tisement in the first issue, and if he got results, he would put a full
page advertisement in every following iss In fact his exact
words were ‘‘If you will stick by me, I will stick by you.”? Why
not ‘‘stick’’ by your advertisers, they are sticking by you? If you

OUR NEW PRESIDENT
Although the whole country still clings to the memory of Presi
dent Harding, we must not forget our duty to President Coolidge.
We has taken up the work that Harding left unfinished, filling his
place to the best of his ability.
No publie man of national reputation in our history has been
Calvin Coolidge and yet so much trusted, He was
made Vice-President because of one public act, his maintenance of
so little known as
law and order in the face of a police strike. Coolidge has announced
that it will be his purpose to carry out the policies which President
Harding has begun. Let us believe that he will follow the counsel
he gave to legislative body when made governor, ‘It is your duty
not only to reflect public opinion but to lead it.’ The American
republic has as its President a man who will not swerve from a deed
merely because of a name.
Only by little things is the personal character of Coolidge
known. At the dedication of the Government Hospital for Colored
War Veterans, President Harding was asked to de
The President, however, was unable to accept the invitation, and
Coolidge was urged to take his place. ‘Does the President want me
to go?’ was his only answer to the invitation. Coolidge made it
emphatically clear that he would not go without first being assured
that it was the President’s wish. Here was a situation into which

We can not expect Coolidge to succeed unless we have faith in
him and stand back of him. How much easier to work out your
own course than to step in and finish what someone else has begun.
Harding is now free from the toils of office and has left in his place
the Silent Man of the White House, who is trying to do justice to
the memory of Harding and to the American people.

Dear Freshmen,
I am not writing this as an alumna of Milne but as a senior.
We all welcome you to Milne and wish that you may all be valedie-
torians. Do not feel harsh towards the other students. Perhaps
they do not treat you as kindly as they should, but don’t give up.
When you become sophomores you will all be better friends. It is
only beeause they think that they are a little higher than the Fresh-
men. We were all Freshmen once.
When doing your work think of what is best for you. If you
must go to dances, parties, ete., do your work first. It is yourself
that you cheat and no one else. Think of President Harding. He
always did what he thought was best. Laws passed by Congress
were vetoed because he thought it best. In every thing that he did
we can see that he did not always do what he was in favor of but
what he thought would help others as well as himself. No one is
always in favor of studying, but we all must admit that it is best
for ourselves and everyone concerned.
When it comes time for you to leave dear old Milne, I am sure
that you will feel sorry. Try to do the best for yourselves and your
school and, as a re come out victorious.
Sincerely,
FRANCES M. SMITH, '24

6 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
ALUMNI NOTES
Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
October 3, 1923
Dear Crimson and White, :
Last year when I was running you in all your glory and frantic-
ally canvassing for letters from various alumni, I used to dread the
time when I would probably be called upon for just such a letter,
for | thought: ‘‘What could I ever write that wouldn't be just like
all the other alumni letters with which the Crimson and White has
been more or less full every October that I can remember? It’s al-
ways the same old stuff written in the same old way; and I, for one,
think that there have been enough such letters in the history of the
country without any addition by me.””
But now, although I haven’t been in college two weeks yet, I
find that I certainly have a lot to tell, even though the subjects may
be trite and not pa y interesting to readers of—may I still
say ‘‘our’’?—Crimson and White. And I also discover that, instead
of being reluctant to write, I really want to have communication
with Milne High again and once more to see my name in the paper
with which I had so much to do last year and in whieh I still haye
a deep interest.
So here goes. And if I bore you too much remember that this is
just an alumni letter and you mustn’t expect too much from it.
My first day here is rather an indescribable jumble in my mind.
I was met at the entrance to the campus by a member of the Junior
Reception Committee, which takes care of the Freshmen so that they
don’t get hopelessly mixed up, and I was trotted around to be regis-
tered and written down and receipted and roomed and was left
finally to get acquainted with my room mate, who made me feel at
home right away because she is the only other girl from New York
State in my house, which has eighty Freshmen in it.
For the first few days we were all busy getting settled and
making up songs to sing to the other classes, w
us in turn.
1
ich came to serenade
he Saturday before classes began the Freshmen were herded
together in Assembly Hall and subjected for three hours to an intelli-
gence test, which certainly tried what little intelligence any of us
may have had. For they asked us things like this: ‘Are these
statements true or false? 1—The burning of sulphur is the same
process as that which causes iron to rust. 2—The Greeks and the
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 7
Persians were allies for several centuries. 3—The evening primrose
has five petals. The A is neater than B, C is less neat than D, D
is neater than A, B is as neat as C. Is A neater or less neat than C,
D than B, B than D? Then: Underline the word that has the same
relation to the third as the second has to the first. Hand, glove;
head (hair, body, hat, big).
It pains me too much to recall any more. Some of the items
would be useful as tests at the other great Poughkeepsie institution
—the State Hospital; while others would have been insults to the
intellects of Milne Freshmen if the latter were expected to answer
them.
Classes started the following Monday; and when I put in a six-
hour day with my last class until three-thirty, I realized just what
a snap I had had at Milne. And having to trail around to a differ-
ent building for every clas: Everyone rides a bieyele here, and I
soon had that relie of my childhood days sent from home. It may
not be dignified, but it certainly is a help! The collection of bi-
cycles in front of this house at meal-time, each with its wire basket
for carrying books and similar junk, makes the place look like a
Western Union sub-station.
The first really great event happened last Saturday, when the
reception for the Freshmen took place. Our Junior advisers took
us in tow, and each Frosh had to wear her name pinned to her (I
suppose so that people could tell us from the Seniors). We passed
down a receiving line not much more than a mile long, consis
the faculty and the presidents of various college organizi
After we had all been introduced and had shaken twenty-five faculty
s and the faculty had shaken three hundred Freshmen hands (a
ss which took about two hours), we were given an entertain-
ment of the best class stunts of last year. You have no idea what
elever-looking men these Vassar girls make when they put on Tux-
edos and slick their hair back. But none of the almost professional
song-and-dance acts seemed more interes
(1 can’t lose that ‘‘our’’; I like to sa
which we worked so hard.
The last exciting thing that happened here was the Oxford-
debate on the Ruhr question, which took place last night.
the first time Oxford has debated Vassar, or any woman’s
college in this country, I think; and everyone was thrilled aceord-
ingly. Oxford insisted that France ought to give up the Ruhr, while
Vassar maintained that she was right in keeping it. (It reminded
ing to me than our own

of heetie hours I spent last year over a certain question: ‘Resolved :
That there should be a National Department of Education with a
Secretary in the President’s Cabinet.’’) It was quite a novelty to
hear someone else debate, without having to listen conscientiously
for points which might be disproved by one’s rebuttal speech. The
Oxford men were very technical and very business-like and very
sure of themselves, but the Vassar girls were just as much so. The
decision was made by the vote of the audience, which was 466 in
favor of Oxford and 455 for Vassar. So no one can say that Vassar
faculty and girls are not fair-minded.
I wish I could make you understand the wonderful spirit there
is here. When I first came, after Milne High, which from my pres-
ent point of view seems to consist of a very small family, to be just
one of 1150 girls, I felt rather alone and very, very insignificant ; but
everyone—faculty, upperclassmen, and fellow-Frosh, seems to take
such a keen interest in one’s individuality and personal affairs that
one soon feels at home. The Freshmen are not made to feel, as they
are in so many places, that they are very rank, green objects, merely
to be tolerated until they have outgrown their Froshdom, but they
are taken into the college life in a very friendly manner. They are
welcomed and shown that there is a place for them in all sorts of
activities and undertakings. This is the right way, it seems to me,
to develop school spirit.
Yet, as much as I like this place and as much as I hope to gain
from it, I can’t say that I don’t miss old Milne and my four years
of life there. All you people who belong there now, appreciate it
while you may; and try to do as much as you can for Milne, so that
you may carry away from it a full experience and many pleasant
memories, as does your former school-mate,

work and no play makes Jack a dull boy There is plenty of recre-
ation at Simmons—especially for Freshmen. The Freshmen houses
are about a mile and a half from the college, and our chief oceupa-
tion is walking. There are the various clubs—New York State, Y.
WO. As, West, Home Economies and Dramatic.
Simmons College is located on The Fenway, the park system of
Boston, and near the Boston Museum of Art. ‘Our campus”? is the
famous Simmons Dump.
No one can come
Mount Holyoke has its campus, and Wellesley has its lake,
And Smith has all the beauties that art and cash can make ;
But, think of their splendors, do not let your spirits slump;
For our Simmons has its famous, fetching,

She tells you of their shaded lawns, their courts and swim-

And then you sweetly say, unless you are an awful frump—
‘But, my dear, | wouldn’t swap them all for our good ole Sim-

Just across the ‘‘Dump”’ are the Junior-Senior dorms. Between
North and South Hall is the colonade where step singing takes place.
We have step sing twice, in the fall and in the spring.
The Juniors are on one side of the colonnade, the Freshmen and
sophomores on the other. The Seniors in cap and gown mareh up
the colonade steps singing Alma Mater. After college songs are
sung, each ela: ngs to the other and each ¢lass replies. The Fresh-
men songs this year were ve 1 liked. When all have sung, the
seniors march out and ever, follows singing The College Hymn.

Dear Editor—
It certainly gives me great pleasure to write a letter for ‘The
Crimson and White,’’ and I sincerely hope that what I have to say
will be of interest to all my old friends at Milne and also to those
who now sit in the seats in Room 802, which the class of ’26 have so
recently vacated.
September 19th found me a timid little freshman at the Albany
Law School. It is very much like entering Milne, for the haughty
seniors walk up and down the hall without deigning to notice us.
The school is a splendid one, being (as you probably know) a
part of Union University. Our faculty is composed of learned men,
who not only know the law thoroughly but possess a remarkable
ability to impart it. Some of them have been recognized as among
the foremost legal scholars of the English-speaking world.
Our class is made up of students from all over the state, thir-
teen of whom are girls, The registration of freshmen this year was
so large that the faculty divided us into two sections, the people
commuting coming in the morning and those living in the eity hay-
ing classes in the afternoon.
The work is very different from that of High School, and if we
wish to maintain owr places as members of the class, it is necessary
to spend at least four hours a day in the law library and to stay
all the rest of the day.
If any of you are contemplating a law course, do not hesitate!
You will find it very interesting, although you will miss dear old
Milne as I do, its faculty and last but not least, Professor Sayles.
Your sincere friend,

Dear Old ‘‘ Milne-ites,”’
In response to a request for a letter from me, as an alumnus of
Milne High, I consider this a pleasure to write, for I have always
taken a keen interest in the school activities, especially the sports,
I spent five weeks of this past summer at the Boy Scout Camp at
Kinderhook lake. To explain my enjoyment of this
tion it might be sufficient to say that the time passed entirely too
rapidly for my wishes. On Saturdays | played semi-professional
baseball with the Edmores and the Phi Epsilon Delta, a fraternity
team in Rensselaer, At present I have a position with the Telephone
company,
My thoughts often turn toward school as the fall sessions are
well under way. Thoughts of basketball, dances, and of your socie-
ties’ prospects for the coming year, All these must loom high on
your horizon,
immer’s vaca-
The freshmen must not be forgotten in their pursuit of an edu-
cation. Their fears of the ex and of the new practice teachers
must be treated kindly. Remember we were all ‘‘Freshies’’ once,
and had the same difficulties they are enjoying (?)
The advice of Professor Sayles to “plan your work’? and to ‘tbe
honest with yourself’? must receive special attention. It does not
take long for one to realize that the value of an education depends
upon one’s own effort.

Fellows, don’t forget smoking is not allowed on the school
grounds or in the locker room! Don’t loiter in the locker room, ov
you may have to help the janitor as a reward for your fun. Study
hall is condueted in room 302, not out on the tennis courts nor in
the store across the street.
I sincerely wish the basketball and baseball teams a most sue-
cessful year. I certainly hope this will be an unusually active school
year aided by the Student Couneil and that the ‘‘Crimson and
White’? will be the best ever.
Very truly yours,

12 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
Dear Editor,
Well here I am, a freshman in State College. Fate seems to
have decided that the lot of a college freshman be a hard one, Al-
though our lot is rather hard, we are somewhat consoled by the fact
that the sophomore class is very large this year, and they were fresh-
men last year.
When one steps from a high school senior to a college freshman,
his high ideas and opinions of himself are suddenly quelled. ‘The
seniors are too busy to notice him; the juniors take compassion on
him and try to be real friends, but the sophomore feels it his chief
duty to remind him continually of his inferiority. Some people,
especially the sophomores, seem to think that freshmen are placed
in colleges merely for a source of amusement. When they go through
rching wildly for some unknown room,
groups of sophomores standing about, may be heard complimenting
themselves on being able to recognize a freshman.
the spacious college halls
It seems as if we were starting at the very beginning again, but
cannot edueation be compared to an extension ladder? Last year
we did not reach the top of our ladder, but only the top of our first
extension, our main ladder being our elementary education. Now,
although we seem to be starting at the beginning we are in reality
climbing our second extension.
College life is a great life and a life which any boy or girl will
look back upon with pleasure. When boys and girls are graduated
from high schools, many paths are opened before them, and the boy
or girl who does not follow the path of higher edueation, when it is
opened to him, will surely regret it.
I thought that State College was going to seem too much like
high school, after having attended Milne, but I find college life very
different in many ways. The only words that I can find which
exactly express my impression of college are the words from a col-
loge song, ‘It’s a great big puddle, and [’'m gust a little frog.” The
first day Milne High opened I almost wished I were back when I
sew Professor Sayles and the rest of the Milne High faculty aseend-
ing the stair Really, Milnites, you don’t appreciate your faculty
until you leave them.
In spite of the fact that fate has decreed our lot to be hard, we
have many real good times. Most of us have attended a faculty re-
ception, a Junior-Freshmen sing, and a Y, W. G. A. reception. On
October 5 all of us had to attend the freshmen ‘Get Wise’ party.

After all, even if we are green, stupid, and insignificant, what
would State College do without us?

Dear Editor,
After having survived the terrors of solid geometry, we are still
alive and able to write an epistle to the Milnites. We feel quite
grown up now that we are in college, but, when Freshmen is hurled
at us by rival Sophs, we feel rather small and in the way. It seems
quite natural to see Miriam Snow, Martha Lomax, Sylvia Estabrook,
and Esther Jansen all busy and greatly interested in making the
present Freshies feel like small and unwise children. Nevertheless,
so far they’ve been very nice to the ‘‘Milne grads,’’ and we appre-
ciate it.
The Juniors have been lovely to the Frosh and have taken us to
yarious social affairs. The Junior sisters took us to the Faculty Re-
ception and introduced us to the Faculty. President Brubacher,
Dean Metzler, and Coach Wegner addressed the assembled students.
Later refreshments were served, and then we sang and danced, The
Y. W. party was a great suc and so were the Junior: shman
sing, and the Sophmore Get-Wise party. I wonder if the Frosh are
any wiser! I fear the Sophs received the shock of their lives.
Besides being Freshmen, we are green, for green has been or-
dained the class color of the class of "27. Each Freshie has a green
leather handbook, and the boys have green and white felt skull caps.
Soon, the girls will have green and white buttons, one inch in dia-
meter with the class numerals in green. The banner rush has not
started yet because the class of "27 has not received their banner,
but wait until they do and then there will be excitement.
Many of the Milne grads have been nominated for class officers,
but elections have not taken place. It appears that Albany High,
and Milne are fighting for class leadership.
We could rave on like this for several pages, but we feel sorry
for our readers, The best of luck and success to the Senior class!

BASKET BALL
“TE you don’t sueceed, try, try again’’ is the ery of those girls
who are interested in Basket Ball, Last year we were very unfortu-
nate in not getting any outside games, but this year we have hopes
of getting several.
With a squad of about fifty girls we expect a very fine varsity,
and with a little more enthusiasm from the side lines, than usual,
we hope to have a team that Milne will be proud of.

Mary had a little lamb,
It followed her to school ;
She went to take a final
And she flunked it like a fool.
So Mary changed her plan, they say,
And took a bull next day,
And when she got her paper back,
She pulled a nice big ‘‘A.’

“Rastus’ Humbug,’ printed in your June edition, is a rather
unusually well written story for a school publication. Why not
include school notes and events under a separate heading entitled
“School News’’ or other than under Miscellaneous?
Oracle, Rensselaer, New York
Your school notes are interesting, but your athletie department
is, on the whole quite the best feature of the magazine.

THE STREET OF LIGHT
Myriads of lights,
A thousand fire-flies,
Slashing.
A million stars
On the dark background
Of the sky,
Twinkling, sparkling, winking,
Blinding me with their brilliance.
Glitering diamonds seattered
On black velvet,
a Broadway, ever bright
fi With scintillant radiance
Knows no night
But that which is crown’d
With Spark’ling jewels.
