"WELL-INFORMED CRITICISM" NOT RESENTED "H eur March far knowlealge anabln um to live tha highest life within our han, than tha University ia fulfilling ita highest aim," said tha Viea- Chancetler (Prefeuer Wallaca) in tha course ef an address ta members of tha Chriatian Union, in tha Union Mall, an Thursalay laat. "Knowledge far ita awn sake," waa tha keynote af Profeeeer Wallaca'* remarks. It waa a unman complaint, ha ssial, that Universities wara Secerning mere tachnical schools. "A Univaraity training, rightly pursued, cultivates that dstachad attitude af mind which alana ham earned tha right ta ha styled 'academic canacieueness'," continued tha Vica-Chancallar. "To aaarch out tha truth and be layal ta it ia a fina discipline." Referring ta a modarn tendency ta criticiaa Univaraitiaa, Professor Wallaca aaid that, withaut well-informed criticism, learning wauld languish. TanOfki'i Dakata To-night In the Union Hall Professor John Anilerson will oppose the motion that Democracy la not complete with- out a censorship." The debate will be o|>ened by Mr. II. H. Swalnson. gen- eral secretary of the T.M.C-A., who is to champion the cause of cen- sorship. Those who know- Professor Ander- son will know that his Indict- ment of Literary censorship will be sincere, and It Is a matter of course that it will be well-reasoned and pre- sent no logical weaknesses. His views have before to-day been referred to in Sydney's dally press as being of a "radi- cal" nature, this adjective being used in particular reference to a statement of opinion by Professor Anderson on the question of censorship of com- munistic propaganda. Accordingly the debate to-night should be of intense interest to everybody, in view of the topical nature of the subject for dls cusslon. anil to University |>eople In particular. Universities, said Professor Wallace, had their beginning in the gathering round a great teacher of men eager for knowledge. This was. in the highest sense, what Universities were to-day —fellowships of men and women, gathered together in the search of knowledge. Milton had said that true Tha Vica-Chancallor, Professor R. S. Wallaca. Are Students Spoon-fad? There was a danger nowadays, went on Professor Wallace, that the student might have too much done for him. Lectures should be regarded as stimu- lants to curiosity, and much should be done outside the lecture room. The true temperament of undergraduates could be gauged from the attendance nt society meetings and participation In other activities connected with University life. "When I see them." he | said, "buying a few inore text books than are actually set and crowding Into lectures: when I remark them in the libraries, diligently reading books and old folios In the search for know- ledge: when I see them gathering, as they do here, in societies, to discuss amongst themselves many and various subjects; when I see them—if you will pardon me—attending not too many dances (applause) then I know (hat all Is well with the University." education was "to know (Sod aright." The higher our motives, the better our knowledge. Only by the desire for knowledge as an end in Itself could we be true to the original impulse in founding a University. For immediate and practical needs, the Vice-Chancellor continued, the more technical schools there were the better. Hut training for professions should not be the prime aim of a Uni- versity. Many people were of the opin- ion that there was too much profes- sionalism in modern Universities. Stu- dents themselves cried out against compulsory study of subjects not Im- mediately useful. Becauac- those sub- jects could not be applied to everyday needs, they were regarded by some as Irrelevant and unnecessary. That was not in keeping with a University's true puriHise. A student who only attended lectures was not gaining anything from Ills course. He regarded the words of the lecturer as the whole truth, not realising that the lecturer's purpose was to arouse the Intellectual curiosity of Ills audience. Dull routine could have no real place In a Univer- sity. "Just a little more." Professor Wal- lace said, "but how much that Is. It Is that "little more' that rescues work from dull routine. We cannot take all knowledge for our province, hut we should be eager to know all there is to be learnt of the subject ' What is "Academic"? Professor Wallace remarked that (hi- word "academic" was often used disparagingly, but desired to free it from all suggestion of reproach. urged a more wholehearted search for (lie detached attitude of mind which alone deserved the name of "academic consciousness." By exposing the petti- ness of our trivial personal ends, that consciousness equipped us with a standard of values by which we could discriminate between trivialities and essential truths. If he could Issue warning It was against that "vicious circle" which Involved us in acquiring knowledge only that we might pass it on to others. If the University was to become something more than a mere technical school, the search for knowledge mus not end with the attainment of what was strictly utili- tarian. but must be an eager and illimitable quest. "Well-informed Criticism." Universities, continued Professor Wallace, came in for a good deal of criticism, and. during the last few- years. Sydney University had received more than Its due share. Nevertheless, criticism was good. If It enabled m bers of a University to ascertain what the general public thought of Its work and teaching. It was a great pity, however, that society, as a whole, seemed reproachfully to differentiate between ordinary learning and Uni' versity learning. While many views were taken o education, the Vice-Chancellor con- cluded. criticism of aoane sort waa Inevitable. kcMc Act -a AtafiidutoL of 6iuvumt 4- value irv WINE DEFENCE OF INDIA Wild North-west Frontier India, that melting pot of religious and racial fanaticism, was the fascinat- ing subject of a n address delivered on Tuesday. Julyl. to members of the University Regiment. The speaker, Mr. J. N. Campbell. Adjutant of the Regiment, gave a brief resume of the history of India from 327 B.C. (the of the invasion of India by Alexander the Great) to the fall of the Moghul dynastry. India's caste system, which made it one of the most difficult countries In the world to govern, was explained by Mr. Campbell, who pointed out that the Hindoos, whose present population is millions out of a total of 320 millions, were originally the only caste religion. However, sheer weight of numbers compelled the minority re- ligions to adopt the system themselves. Discussing India's defence system. Mr. Campbell spoke especially of the North-West frontier, the most vulner- able lwlnt In the whole scheme through whk-h the country has been invaded no less than thirty times. This area, was merely a line dividing India from Afghanistan, but a strip of terri- tory 700 miles long, varying In width from 33 to 150 miles, and containing approximately 130.000 lighting Pathans. split up into six main tribes. In this wild borderland no laws ex- isted. and might was right. There were no roads, no schools, no police, no hos- pitals and the unwilling merchant sup- ported his warlike neighbours. Rich caravans making their way through from Central Asia to London were con- sidered fair prey for these wild out- landers. A surprisingly large number of Rritish and Indian troops were Involved, even in the defence and preservation of order of this one area, which made one very dubious for a safe but democratic India in the very near future. WALK MORE AND ENJOY CITY LIFE "See what you're looking at." was Professor Wilkinson's' advice to mem- bers of the Art Club, which he ad- dressed on "The Appreciation of Archi- tecture." on Thursday. July 3. Now- a-daya we read too much of what others said: we should look about us and see for ourselves. Our capacity for observation has been killed by our education. It waa only by reviving and developing it that we would be able to enjoy the architectural beauty of our aurroundings. Architecture waa "the Mistress Art," it embraced all the arts. The most famous exponents of paint- ing and sculpture have relied upon ar- chitecture to give an appropriate and effective setting for their work. In this way it played a secondary but most ImiHirtant part in all works of art. The architectural design of a build- ing should mean something: It should put us in the correct frame of mind. In a cathedral we should not feel as though we were In a cafe. "Do the .>IHces of the Income Tax Department make us feel generous?" asked Profes- sor Wilkinson, amid laughter. "Here Is a problem for the architect!" Dwelling on the importance of town planning. Prof. Wilkinson said that a city should consist of beautiful street pictures, instead of being allowed to grow up in haphazard fashion as Syd- ney liad under Its various councils. Kuropean town councils had control over builders, who are not allowed to destroy the harmony of a street-pic- ture. We should enjoy living in a city. A significant fact about the North Shore Bridge waa the emphasis laii Its use In getting out of the city—not In getting In. More time should b spent in observation. There waa to much rush and too much coming int SAVAGE ECONOMICS LAWS OF PRIMITIVE MAN numsm. as such. really does not exist among primitive peoples. If j going to name their system j thus, you will have to redeline your; terms." said Dr. Klrtti. ?iimming-up a popular belief during his address last Friday night on "Economic Life of lavage Peoples." "There are always two principles." ontinued Dr. Firth, "namely, the con- sideration of the interests of the groups, or number of groups, and ithin that. Individual interests, for example, private pro|>erty." Trobrland Islands afforded an amus- ing example of laws of Inheritance. In this beautiful spot the brother, and not the husband, is responsible for the care of the woman. The higher a man's aocial position, the greater was the number of wives allowed him. and consequently the greater the number of obliging brothers-in-law to support him and his respective families. On the other hand, an only boy might in- herit from seven uncles. Vet Just think of it—to l>e responsible to seven guar- dians! Magic, art. songs, rhythm, muaic and choruses were mentioned briefly as some of the strongest Influences In welding together primitive |>eoples. Trade systems of savage races were then discussed. "Silent trade" w a s a means by which timid peoples left goods at a recognised spot and col- lected other goods left in exchange by other tribes in the same place. This le first trade-process. Next came barter, by which a certain cun- ning tribe of the Nile made a sub- stantial profit. Acting as middlemen, they gained 32 goats as commission r every 2S traded. Primitive mar- ting. as seen in the Solomon Islands. Here the shore native guarded Ills womenfolk with a spear as he bartered ith the hushman. showed that even the native knew women's little weak- iesses and took no chance of dts- ount. Neutrality at this market time, incidentally, marked the only periods at which these two peoples of st and the inland were not at- tempting to eradicate each other wltl deadly arrows and poisoned spears. last of the popular trading meas ures came gift-exchange. Arm-shells and necklaces In the Trobrland lands, having no Intrinsic value, yet passed from one Island to another sign of amity. Such gifts were kept for a limited time only, and were then paaaed on. ao that they might often re- turn eventually to the original holder. Dr. Firth considered that savages had no definitely Communistic tem. Even the canoe, which longed to no one in particular, but which everyone used—like the fainlly car. apparently—had its definite array of olflcera from skipper (Master-of- the-Canoei to fish boy (Chief-dragger- in-of-Nets). Even cultivated crop-land (pro- nounced to-r-ffee 1 seemed, strangely enough, to be claimed by some owner. True, the proprietor might allow an outsider to settle on his land for one year, or even two. for a slight con- sideration. but after that he aaaerted his title. The studious and intellec- tual audience remained perturbed for the remainder of the lecture, wonder lng how innocent primitive peoples could have learned civilised man's IKtle weakness for claiming things his own personal properly. However, except for a fierce debate on the precise definition of I'oramun ism. a discussion on the relative values of goals, "coppers.** arm shells, and spear-heads, and an accusation that he had undermined all the golden rules of Economics. Dr. Firth escaped from the meeting unharmed. ALREADY IN PREPARATION 'hairmen appointed by the Council a r e : — Procession: Mr. J. V. Connolly. Songbook: Mr. H. M. Storey. B.A. E.S.A. REUNION All Evening Men of the Faculties of Arts and Economics are requested to attend the social reunion of all evening students in the Union Withdrawing Room on Wednesday. July 23. nt 8 p.m. This is a Joint effort of the two Associations, held yearly, and is quite informal. Everybody is expected to drop in after lectures for a dance, a song and supper. There is no charge, and a pianist lias been engaged to help things along. If you can sing a song, then bring it with you. Novelty prizes will be awarded for dancing throughout the evening. The W.E.S.A. committee are working overtime to see that you will enjoy yourself, the Aasociationa are paying the expenses: all you have to do ia—lie there. NEXT YEAR'S "COMMEM.' BUILDING UP SANE TRADITIONS If next year's Commemoration festivities e r e n o t a huge success, it will not be the fault of the Students' Representative Council. Arrangements for the various functions are already in train. Five sub-committees have been constituted, and their chairmen appointed. In addition, a special sub-t ammittee has boon ashed to draw up regulations, for lubminii to the S.R.C. G. W. Hymmn Mmmmriml Fellow littler graduate* of the University of Sftdney: 1 desire to put before you a matter which concern* everybody in the University. I refer to the Memorial which it has been decided to establish In honour of the late Geoffrey llyman. who lost his life in an heroic attemyt to save that of a young girl at Tamarama beach early this year. To those of us who were privi- leged to know him. the magnificent courage of his last act must seem a mirror of his life. Humanity instinctively reveres such an act as the noblest thing a man can do. Sot h inn since the re ~ flectcil more glory on University nianhooil than the manner of his passing. It has been thought that the most fitting, and at the same time, the most practical way to pay tribute to Mr. Hyman's memory, would be to establish a lecturer- ship in the Faculty of Law. in which he icas a student at the time of his death. In order to fulfil this purpose, it will be neces- sary to extend the movement throughout the ichole University. Some hundreds of pounds will be required. .1 movement such as this should never, under any circumstances, prove half-hearted. Sot only will wc be com memmorating one of the finest things ever done by a 'Var- sity man. but also wc will, by the nature of the memorial, he bene- fiting the University to a very definite extent. Few causes could have so great a call upon every member of the University. Subscriptions may be sent to your Faculty Societies, the S.R.C., and the undersigned. ALAS G. SMITH. Reunion Dinner: Mr. A.

It Is expected that all Ive sub-committees will be at work lefore the end of Trinity Term. and. irovlded they do not make up their ninda too quickly, and that they take i proper regard for the real spirit of Commem." undergrnda. need have no fear that next year'a festivities will be lacking In entertainment. To draw up Regulations which will, mong other things. provide the ma- chinery for carrying out the annual ngements. the presidents of the four associations which form the S.R.C. have agreed to constitute a special sub-committee. This year's festivities proved a gratifying success. They were also marked by an absence of that unruly element which has marred many pre- »us "Commems." Moreover, the ven- ture was the means of swelling the funds of the S.R.C. to no mean extent With an earlier start for 1931, we are all entitled to look forward to a festi- val many times more successful, both from the financial and the entertain- ment point of view. DEMOCRACY IS IT A FAILURE? WOMEN'S IOEAS An impeachment of incompetence was brought against the late Prime Minister of Australia in the "course of a debate at Sancta Sophia on July 3. when Sancta Sophia affirmed, and MOCK FUNERAL STUDENT "SENT DOWN" For the first time since the war Cam- bridge witnessed the mock funeral of an undergraduate being "sent down" recently. The "corpse" was carried to the railway atation In an antiquated horse-drawn cab and the "mourners" followed in motor-cars which were smothered in crepe. At the station the railway coach was decorated with crepe streamers, and the undergraduates shouted "Oood old Bill" as the train carried their friend away. Graduates and others interested in "Honi So it," may have the paper posted to them weekly oa payment of a yearly subscription of $/; forwarded to 8.R.C. Office. K. B. EDWARDS, Business Manager. the Women's Union denied. "That the failure of democracy is due to incom- petent leadership." In the opinion of Mias M. Maguire, who spoke for the home team, the calamities under which Auatralia ia groaning to-day can be mainly attri- buted to the inefficiency of the Hon. S. M. Bruce, she was. however, unable to substantiate her claim by suffi- ciently weighty argument, for the adjudicators gave the decision to the Women'a Union.

G. W. Hymmn Mmmmriml

Fellow littler graduate* of the University of Sftdney:

1 desire to put before you a matter which concern* everybody in the University. I refer to the Memorial which it has been decided to establish In honour of the late Geoffrey llyman. who lost his life in an heroic attemyt to save that of a young girl at Tamarama beach early this year.

To those of us who were privi-leged to know him. the magnificent courage of his last act must seem a mirror of his life. Humanity instinctively reveres such an act as the noblest thing a man can do. Sot h inn since the re~ flectcil more glory on University nianhooil than the manner of his passing.

It has been thought that the most fitting, a n d a t the same time, the most practical way to pay tribute to Mr. Hyman's memory, would be to establish a lecturer-ship in the Faculty of Law. in which he icas a student at the time of his death. In order to fulfil this purpose, it will be neces-sary to extend the movement throughout the ichole University. Some hundreds of pounds will be required.

.1 movement such as this should never, under any c i r c u m s t a n c e s , p r o v e half-hearted. Sot only will wc be com memmorating one of the finest things ever done by a 'Var-sity man. but also wc will, by the nature of the memorial, he bene-fiting the University to a very definite extent. Few causes could h a v e so g r e a t a call upon every m e m b e r of the University.

Subscriptions may be sent to your Faculty Societies, the S.R.C., and the undersigned.

Following, t he receipt of Information at a la te hour f r o m the .M&ical School, our Mtiemeacy reporter was rushed a c r o s s " ' ' f t - ' ' Invest igate rumours of myster ious noises said to lie issuing f rom the cellars, and of such unusua l cha rac te r a s to t e r r i f y t h e jani tors . Af t e r being held up In the Quadrangle by the Yeoman Bedell, who had beard his foots teps on the lawn, our re-|K>rter managed to negotiate the diffi-cul t count ry between the F isher U b r a r y and the Medical School, a n d obtained en t r ance Into the la t ter .

Having made a rapid inspection of t he basement , our repor te r lef t the ag i ta ted Jani tors , who refused to uc-comiKtny him a n y f u r t h e r , and tu rned h i s a t t en t ion to the keyhole of wha t appeared to be a large, well-lighted room, f r o m which a t in tervals came blood-curdling moans and shr ieks punc tua t ed by shril l yells a n d ghos t ly whispers. Before he could observe any th ing , however, t he re was a r u s h f rom behind him. a n d a crowd of re-por te rs a n d photographers f rom less efficient contemporar ies tore him f r o m the door. A s t ruggle developed in the nar row passage, which soon became a roar ing inferno. Notebooks, cameras , and ep i the t s were hurled by the com-b a t a n t s a t one another . The "Sydney .Morning Hera ld" r ep resen ta t ive was felled by a n epi thet , which s t ruck him under the ea r . a n d others received minor in jur ies .

On the a r r iva l of t he Vice-President of the Union, who rushed across f rom t h e Union wi th h i s torch, t he din w a s suppressed, a n d a r r a n g e m e n t s made for the t r e a t m e n t of t he injured.

With such backs as It urge, Gibson. Barker, and Morey—all First Grade men and old "Blues"—the three-quar-ters will undoubtedly need a lot of stopping. The presence of forwards like Joyce, Cay, Ramaden and Phlppt also first-class men In their depart ment. will probably mean that the brilliant back line will get a share of the ball.

NO PLAY Faculty Rugby Union BAD ORGANISATION

Precaution* Taken for Future Last week's football In this

competition was a credit neither to its organiser nor to the faculties participating. In some cases notice of the draw wu

not given to the faculties early and in others the faculties cerned were unable to enter a As a result all the matches as fi actual play was concerned fell through and those teama which did turn up had the rather dubloua consolation of receiving a forfeit.

Young raa well, beating Kennedy badly, cut in tield. his pace beating McMullen, and scored under the posts, l ie converted his own try. making the scores 13-0.

Norths' forwards were playing very well. They tracked well and this, com-bined with their superior weight, en-abled them to beat 'Varsity for the ball. They kept the ball at the toe, giving the 'Varsity halves and inside centres plenty of work to do. When the ball <liil happen to come out. it was useless for the backs to attempt to handle in their own twenty-live, and Curtis had to take It back into the forward**.

Play was carried to Norths* twenty* five a few times, but usually 'Varsity got no further than half way. Dezur-naulds, .Mc.Mullen and n i n u t were prominent in clearing 'Vanity's line. At half-time Norths were leading 13-0.

Second Hal f . From the kick-olT, Norths attacked,

but the ball went out of play. Hammill going close to scoring. Norths were on the attack, but McMullen relieved with a good line kick. From a penalty McMullen found the line In Norths' twenty-live. Norths toed the ball up-HeUI, McMullen failing to go down on It. Norths, after a good run by Young were again attacking strongly. Norths' backs were playing well, despite the awful conditions, while the bundling in the 'Varsity hack division was very doubtful.

Forbes was also handling well and •tulle overshadowed McMullen. who was very patchy.

From a free McMullen made a good line kick. Varsity made their first Iwck movement. McMahon making a good run. but his pass to Kennedy went astray.

Play was frequently held up by players having their eyes tilled with mud. the umpire's handkerchief being in great demand. It was impossible to distinguish one side from the other, all being a uniform black.

Norths were still having the best of the game, but a free kick to 'Varsity relieved the pressure.

Cay led a good rush, but 'Varsity were iienallsed and play came back again for McMullen to force.

Play was tending to get a bit heated In the forwards, and a Norths' man was cautioned.

Duncan marked, and Rartley. follow-ing on. fell on the ball and scored. The kick failed. Norths 16-0.

'Varsity carried play to Norths' line, but the big forwards of the home side made their weight felt and cleared.

Scrappy play followed till 'Varsity toed the ball to Norths' line, but it went out of touch. At this period of the game 'Varsity Just missed scoring on two occasions.

Full time came with Norths leading 18-". having scored only once in the second half.

Mark Morton, who has hooked for the State in all inter-State matches this year should give the Andrew's backs a feast of the ball. He is an excellent worker both in the rucks and in the open.

Geoff Dungur in the centre toured iteensland with the N.S.W. team this

s' of the team consists of First Grade men. they are leaving nothing to

backs. McMullen was off his game, and played very inconsistently. The wingers. Kennedy and Hemingway, got practically no chance In attack, and the rornter was not up to form In defence. Varsity did not heel the bull at all during the game, and consequently Curtis and McMahon got no chance to attack.

On the day. North Sydney deserved the win, though two of their first three tries were due to badly missed tackles. This is one point of the game which "Varsity must remedy, if they hope to

Much disappointment was caused by the large quantities of rain which de-cided to fall on Friday nnd Saturday. The weather, which was threatening on Thursday, came to a climax on Friday night, and seemed intent on rendering the ground so muddy and soft as to

fit only for those who revel in such conditions, the footballers. The result was that two sporting features, which had been looked forward to with great Interest, had to lie postponed. They were the shoot for the Albert Cup. at Long Bay Range, and the Baseball be-tween 'Varsity and Waverley.

The teams meeting for the Albert Cup are the extra-collegiate, and the colleges. As all teams are very strong, i good contest Is expected next Satur-

day. when the match will be fired. "Varsity and Waverley are both high

High School, which he represented in football for four years, cricket for four year, athletics for two years, and ten-nis for one year.

In his first year for "Varsity (1*28) he played with the reserves. Beginning the 1929 season with them he graduated to the firsts, incidentally winning his Australian Blue before the season closed. He aims at duplicating the latter feat this year. and. despite a set bock, due to a broken hand, should have no difficulty in doing so. "Nip" Is 8st 31bs in weight, and his plucky dis-plays have frequently been commented on favourably.

Club followers are of the opinion that It Is lack of weight only which pre-vents him from i-ecelvlng recognition by the State selectors. He will be In action again after the New Zealand visit. Intsr-Faculty Tournament.

As a member of the Kensington Athletic ?1ub he won his heat of the State Junior championship (446 yards) in 54 sees, in 1928. but wus unfortunately unable to start in the final.
