Roy Johnston, George Millikan. Albert E. Boellin-ger. and Phyllis Norton Cooper. Each in turn analyzed and evaluated some phase of scholarship. Attempting to find some answer to the question, "What is scholarship?” Johnston enumerated various authorities to show that the old, pedantic method of accumulating information for its sake alone is giving way to a more active, constructive, creative style of scholarship. Millikan. in a thoughtful com* men tary on pure scholarship, outlined four characteristics of this field—(J, independence of mind. (2) adherence to truth, (3) tenacity of spirt. (4) soundness of thought. Boellinger, who followed, and whose remarks dealt with a more practicable type of scholarship, urged introduction of the artistic and cultural spirit, into modern industry and manufacturing.

Scholarship and the vital part j which it plays in modem life was the motivating theme of the three! principal events, a morning assem- I bly. an afternoon lecture, and an alumni dinner, which made up the all-university scholarship society day held on the Trojan campus yes- j terday.
