McGinn and Coleman were the batteries for the locals, while Steinbacher and Delaney performed for the alumni.
While some of the members stay inthe city, the following will be out of town during the greater part of their vacation. Brother Keenan and Durfee will be connected with an outside boat concern; Erwin Wendt and Pat McGinn will motor to Yellowstone Park; John Palk will travel down to Mississippi; and John Megna will act as a boxing instructor.
CAMPION COLLEGE TO BE MADE HIGH SCHOOL
MARQUETTE MAN ASSISTS
M. D. AT BOY SCOUT CAMP
In addition to his duties as first aid instructor, George S. Jamieson, Junior medic at Marquette, will doctor all cuts, scratches and minor injuries at Indian Mound Reservation, the Boy Scout summer camp at Silver Lake, near Oconomowoc, Wis., this season. As Mr. Jamieson is not yet a doctor of Medicine, Dr. Henry Peters, Oconomowoc, is employed to handle such cases as may arise from serious accidents.
EVOLUTION FIGHT UNFORTUNATE FOR EDUCATION: MENGE
Campion College, Prairie du Chien, Wis., long an institution of higher learning will, after graduation in June, be a preparatory school, the college department having been ordered discontinued through the provincial head at St. Louis. Students at Campion will attend Marquette, while the buildings and grounds will be turned over for use by the high school.	'
The motive behind this change is that of making Campion the leading preparatory school in the north central association of colleges and secondary schools. Wheh the new arrangements are completed 800 boarding students will be accommodated.
Declares Only Private Institutions
Can Be Vanguard of Educational Progress
Dr. Edward J. Menge, director of the department of zoology here brands the Scope evolution case in the Tennessee school fight "an unfortunate for education at large and biology in particular." He gives these reasons:
First-Because the notoriety attending it befogs the entire issue.
Second-Because evolution itself, has little, if anything to do with the case.
Third-the array of legal {alent on both sides is the source of more harm than good to education.
Why the Objections
Explaining his reasons, Dr. Menge said: "Taking the second reason first, it is well to call attention to the fact that evolution as a doctrine commonly held by biologists, is but an incident and not the great factor in the case. Dr. Meikeljohn, one of America's foremost educators, has been drumming home the facts for some years that many schools merely reflect the ideas and opinions of those who support them and who send their children to them.
Vanguards of Progress
"In a democracy this is bound to be true," continued Dr. Menge, "and several of the leading newspapers have called attention editorially to the interesting result that it is only privately endowed institutions which can therefore be the vanguard of educational progress."
Dr. Menge declared his third objection is based on the type of men who have sprung to the defense on both sides: "Mr. Bryan is commonly laughed at by the biologists, and consequently anything he might have to say regarding the' truth or falsity of any evolutionary doctrine, Darwinian or other, will fall on non-hearing ears, while some of those opposing him have built for themselves such reputations that many excellent men and women will feel that whatever the opponents of evolution have said about such a doctrine leading crime and' immorality, certainly is justified." Students Get Broad Angle
"At Marquette university every argument for or against evolution is given the students who then makes up his mind as to what the evidence means to him. It is very unscientific to force any ideas down students' throats:" that is what Dr. Menge said when he had finished assailing the Tennessee case which goes to court on July 10.
M. U. GOLF TOURNEY

Marquette's third annual golf tournament came to a close Friday afternoon when the finals in the three remaining flights were played off.

In the second flight, Paul Purtell and Ted Krezek battled in the finals for the cup and Ted came through with a 3 up and 2 win. Ed Herte deefated Don Healy, winner of fourth flight honors last year, in a 19 hole battle for the beacon in the third bracket. The fourth flight cup went to Schuette, who took the measure of Frank Otto by a 2 hole margin.
FA THER FOX SA YS TO GRAD UA TES:
I
DEALS in life signify, not rosy dreams conjured up for
the delectation of an idle hour, but rather a man's
definite and concise aims and purposes in life-his stan-
dards and levels of achievement.
Ideals determine not only the direction of achievement, but also the extent of achievement; not only what a man does, but how well he does what he undertakes to do.
As Socrates well said, "Not only is he idle who does nothing, but he is also idle who might be better employed." Of course there are limits. Trees do not grow to the sky. At the same time a caged eagle feels a perpetual humiliation.
"This span of life was lent
For lofty duties, not for selfishment;
Not to be whiled away in aimless dreams,
But to improve ourselves and serve mankind." .
