LAMPERT.

The Kernel Is pleased to note the
gratifying reception given to a petition. In circulation the current week,
asking the students to agree to an increase of fifty cents per capita in University fees, for the purpose of aiding
the various projects of the Department
of Music of which Prof, Carl Lampert
is head.
Our information is, that this petition
has been signed by virtually every
student to whom it has been presented.
This attitude on the part of the students reflects in a tangible way the
popular student appreciation of the
excellent work being done by Professor Lampert and his students.
The Kernel would perhaps not be in
error if it made the unqualified statement that no man upon the campus
enjoys wider popularity among the
students than does the gifted and
of
kindly head of the Department
Music and perhaps none has brought
about, in so short a time, so genuine
interest in the work of his department.
Professor Lampert always with untir
ing energy, always with compelling
grace, has given generously of his services and of the services of his talented family for the well being of nearly
every student or faculty affair that he
has been called upon so to assist,
since he entered the faculty. The
weather is never too inclement nor
pressing duties too strenuous to make
It possible for Professor Lampert and
his Musicians to contribute to the enjoyment of entertainments in the University.
The remarkable esprit de
corps of his department owes itself to
the magnetism and radiating generosi
ty of the man.
It is a source of regret to the Kernel
that the University appropriation has
not been sufficiently generous to give

And after all it is not money alone
that makes a school. Garfield once
said that a log with a student on one

us. We have professors who are as

The former President stresses the need
of a return to the intellectual standards of former days, and a cessation
of the spirit of rivalry now so prevalent among the institutions of higher
learning. Dr. Ganfield, the former
President of Centre College, and
several other educators have expressed themselves to the same effect.
With all due respect to the position
held by the gentlemen who criticise the
sports of the colleges, the Kernel cannot agree that the spirit of intellectual
growth has been sacrificed to that
of athletic rivalry. It is true that some
of our athletes are not good students,

glance at the list of the great college
men of the last quarter century shows
that a surprising number of them were
athletes. Undoubtedly some colleges
have sacrificed too much to athletics,
but these schools must not be reform

doctor will not amputate a leg to cure
an ulcer.
