Tipyn O'Bob, Vol. 10

Excerpt from Tipyn O'bob, Vol. 10: November, 1912 It has become a well-worn adage that here we compose a little community. In so much as we are a miniature universe it is highly desirable that we conduct our institutions with some reference to the larger movements about us. I do not propose that you make the tip the arbiter of your fates, or a substitute for the ruling powers. But as it is a means at hand, why not use it as a vehicle of expression? If you haven't anything to express, which seems a popular complaint, well then, you ought to have. You are not held down to the stern realities, or at least plausible information of the journalistic world. When your friends tire of your pet tirades, we will listen, and try to persuade others to listen with us. The things that are of interest to, of or about the college are worth the consideration of us all. While we are not of such an unmanageable magnitude as a body that general meetings are impossible, we do not in general make use of them except on rather formal occasions, and informal oral discussions are necessarily limited. For all causes too slight or too pressing for the importance or delay of calling the student body together we offer you a direct communication with all curious minds seeking recreation from home talent. You can speak from behind the anonymous veil if you like, to our general entertainment or enlightenment. You can also widen the horizon of our world with literary attempts, which is all that any of us is capable of. 80 working for the good of the college and for our own good the interaction should be salutary to both. Rightly used by all of us the tip should be our reżection of a great modern inżuence, with all the added graces we can bring to its enhancing. M. T.
