calculations and rap-I-d
memorizing were demonstrated
by Dr. Salo Ftnkelstein. of Warsaw
Poland, at the
convocation held In Memorial hall Friday morning.
Doctor Finkelsteln,
famed for his adding ability, which
has been proven to be faster than
that of any adding machine, explained his method of memorizing
with a description of the most Important requirements necessary' to
develop such a talent.
"Rapid calculation is not an innate function," he said. "It is a
combination
of certain, definite
functions which can be developed by
any average adult. These include
intense concentration, speed of perception,
a love of
work with numbers, and practice."
Doctor Finkelsteln is capable of repeating 300 digits after hearing them
once, or after seeing them written
on a blackboard, and can memorize
and repeat groups of figures faster
than the average person can see
tnem written.
Demonstrating his almost uncan
ny ability, he drew a square of 25
ooxes on a blackboard, and had various students fill them with num
bers. Looking at them once he
turned to the audience and repeated
the 25 digits in vertical, horizontal,
and spiral order. He correctly added and multiplied groups of figures
before the audience was able to
read through them, and then discussed how he accomplished these.
Prior to Doctor Flnkelstein's address. Dr. Louis Pardue, president of
the local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, presented Sue D. Sparks with $20
worth of books. In accordance with
the annual custom which presents
such an award to the sophomore
who makes the highest scholastic
standing in the freshman year.
Concluding the convocation. President McVey spoke on plans for the
Student Union building, and made
his traditional
address.
The invocation
and benediction
were offered by the Rev. Warner
Hall, of the Maxwell Presbyterian

AL CLASS ATTENDANCE

FOR SENIORS
The third and final premise which
was contained in our advocacy of
class attendance for
seniors in the University was, ". . .
the scholarly aspect of the campus,
not any too great at present, would
be stimulated more by a movement
of this nature than by any other
method."
Though many may have forgotten that the purpose of a university
Is to Inspire Its students to attain
Intellectual and cultural improvements, we still believe that such is
the case. We have discussed previously the fact that such a system
would tend to bring this about to a
higher degree. We propose now to
show how this plan would improve
the scholastic aspect.
It must be admitted that all the
intellectual attainments are not to
be found in the class room. When
a student reaches the fourth year
of college he is presumed to have
absorbed, no matter how little, some
of the rudiments of the scholastic
and cultural temperament. How is
he to prove that he has done this?
By faithfully and sometimes blindly
following the class room routine?
We believe not.
Of course it may be answered
that examinations are the best
method of ascertaining the student's knowledge. Or that chats
with the Instructor is a good method.
As a matter of fact, such would
be an integral part in the optional
attendance plan. What could be
more natural for a student to do
than to receive assignments, work
them out by private research, go to
the instructor when a helping hand
is needed, and yet retain the feeling of freedom and independence so
necessary to the maintenance of
the Intellectual spirit?
He could then be examined upon
a subject with the likelihood that
his paper would reflect a freshness
and originality which would never
come to light under the present system of class attendance.
Discipline for youth is a great
thing. Class room discipline is good,
also. It Is too much, however, to
have us believe that the discipline
which a senior would be subjected
to is good for him. It not only is
not good for the senior but it is not
conducive to bringing about the inspiration which leads to intellec-

tual and cultural attainment.
And so we have presented our three
points for the adoption of the op
tional class attendance for seniors
plan. We do not mean, however,
that we have presented all the

likely forgot:

Firstly, that there are no funds
available at the University or in any

cost of replacement must come from
the faculty member or members
who are sponsoring the exhibition.
