I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came."----Lincoln  THE TESTING PERIOD  If the Germans have succeeded in their purpose to make this the most murderous of all wars, the United States has made it the most humane. While a world power, greedy for dominion, was devoting all  the ingenuity of its people to the invention of fiendish contrivances of battle, our nation was building great social activities designed to make a peaceful world more pleasant and more liveable for the least of its inhabitants.  For years the great minds of Germany worked in their laboratories with the rich resources of their nation at their command. With grim determination, they plotted the destruction of many nations and counted not the price of blood their own people were to pay. For long decades they labored.  And simultaneously across the broad water, forces of our nation were working in our laboratories. They too were greedy,----for their laboratory was as wide as the country and their resources, all society. They labored as diligently even as did the Teutons and as unremittingly. With hope unfailing they sought to extend the influence of the great social activities they were building for the nation.  To these respective movements ere were many enemies inside as well as out their respective countries. Germany had those who chafed under militarism and sought foreign homes. The new social welfare activities in our country, too, had opposition. Their vulnerable point in attack was lack of cooperation and their careful independence in pursuing the same goal.  The products of these scientists, American and German, were as yet untried as a world force. A crucial instance, a testing period, was necessary to prove them sufficient. And so it came about that one August the clash of arms resounded round the world and Germany tested the results of its years of labor.  It was later that the American product began to exhibit itself. And at the speed and efficiency of its various parts, the world marveled. Welfare work in the American army outshone all similar efforts of the allied armies. Criticism was silenced, for side by side in trench and hut, the great welfare organizations worked tor the common couse and forgot their differences of petty belief.  The weapons of Germany are a fast declaiming force. They are failing the test. But the products of American social scientists, the welfare organizations, are through their co-operation and united efforts growing into a world force that will be lasting and ever enlarging. Lack of financial support alone will mean their disability.  "WHAT IS SO RARE"  Typographical limitations prevent the printing of the title of this exhaustive discussion, but it is, in toto, "What is so rare as an honest bloom?"  Anyway, we think the man who searched for a rougeless face on campus S.U.I., would have it all over Diogenes in the hopelessness of his task. We might suggest, however, that more success would be met at high noon than with a lantern.  Consider the prospective freshman as she lives in her home village, innocent of the artificial world. Her most scathing criticism of a new clerk down town is, "Aw she paints!" Anyone who "believes in it" is ostracized from social circles and discussed with sad doubt by the "ladies' aid."  How different does she find the inner circle of our campus. For paint abounds, and few artists are present. It is as though they had to stand in line and be dabbed on each cheek before they could enter the campus. Our freshmen is for a time, like the men, fooled by the very immensity of the practice. She chooses a senior idol. Then comes the crash. The senior invites her to her room, decides her complexion needs adjusting, and get out her rouge box.  Oh yes! we saw it happen once. It was a tragic scene. The freshmen stood aghast, eyes on the surface, lower jaw powerless.  But the senior is oblivious. She is stupid from four years of being what she is not. She rouges on.  Two weeks later the freshman is seen to look like all the rest. Oh pretense, where is thy variety?  THE SAME OLD PEP  "It is the same old pep," said an old graduate. "The war may have changed the outward appearance of the campus, but that spirit that has made the University what she stands for is still here."  This reflects the opinion of all who attended the mass meeting Friday night. There was indeed a change: the mass meeting was held outdoor, instead of in the natural science auditorium; men in olive drab and campaign hats replaced the civilians in pinch back coats and jaunty little hats; the men did not gather according to colleges, but all stood together. There was indeed a radical change, if viewed only from external appearances.  But the yells were just as "peppy," the men responded with zeal to the leaders. The spirit was whole hearted and enthusiastic.  No, as President Jessup stated in his talk, it is the same school, in spite of the soldiers marching to one, two, three, four! (and sometimes five). We are still the same loyal students of the University of Iowa, although the campus presents the appearance of a military camp.  Iowa fights, as she has fought, but with a military touch in her fighting!  IOWAN BOARD HAS FOUR NEW STUDENT MEMBERS  Four women have been selected to fill vacancies on the board of trustees of The Daily Iowan. Alice E. Hinkley, M. Elizabeth Hendee, Gretchen Kane, and Mary Anderson.  These young women will fill out the unexpired terms of Virgil Hancher, Harold Stoner, and Frederick Egan, now in the service, and of Marian Dyer who is employed with the Food Administration in Washington.  The Iowan board controls the policy of the paper and acts in the capacity of trustees of any corporation. The three faculty members of the board are : Dr. C. H. Weller, chairman, Dr. E. M. McEwen, Dr. E. S. Smith  W. C. C. S. DANCE POPULAR  The War Camp Community Service held a party at their club house at the Burkley hotel last night from 7:15 to  :30. About 125 girls and a greater number of navy and army men attended. Dancing was the amusement of the evening. Light refreshments were served. Flags of the Allied nations were the decorations.  The dance was conducted and chaperoned according to the War Camp Community rulings. Mrs. Jack Hinman, Jr., is the chairman and Mrs. Charles Schrader was the sub-chairman in charge of the dance.  There will probably be dances of this sort held every Saturday night.  HENRY ROEWE IS "FLU" VICTIM  Henry Roewe of Laurens, Iowa, a graduate of the University, died of Spanish influenza Friday night at the Michael Reess hospital, Chicago, where he was beginning his work as interne.  Dr. Roewe received his B. S. degree from Iowa in 1916, and remained another year in the college of medicine. His last year of medical work was done at Rush Medical college.  Among the many left to mourn his death is a sister, Bertha Roewe, a former student here, who is at present doing special work at Ames.  [advertisement]  PHILIP J.
