ONE EXCITING NIGHT” |
PRESENTED IN DENBIGH



NEWS Gives Interviews With Eye-
Witnesses of Unusual !
Events

ACCOUNTS ALLY IN DETAILS





Dame Rumor, with her usual alacrity,

has been. busily elaborating the tale of |

the recent burglar alarm in Denbigh.
Pe News, “wishing to maké~ public” the
real facts of the case, has Qptained state-
ments from several eye-witnesses. While
no definite clue-has been arrived at, evi-
dence seems clearly to point to the fact
that an intruder was in Denbigh, and
that for no good purpose.

A member of the Class of 1929, whose
name is withheld, and who lives on the
fourth floor of Denbigh, was the first
person approached by the News repre-
sentatives, S

Denbigh Freshman Tells Tale

“Last Wednesday, night,” she said, “I
was awakened by a shriek from the
direction of the graduate corridor. Hast-
ily flinging on a wrapper, and seizing

_ a hockey stick, I dashed out of the room,

fearing the worst, for I had heard the
announcement at lunch that there was
a strange man prowling about the halls,
and that considerable sums of money
had already been ‘missed. My fears were
justified; as I reached the hall, I heard
a door slam in the graduate corridor,
and out of the long, dark attic that con-
nects the two corridors dashed -a dark
figure, a man, with a hat pulled down
over his eyes, and with a steel instru-
ment ‘in his hand. . I shrank into the
shadow of the door, and he rushed by
me down the stairs. He passed so close
to me that I could distinctly smell the
nicotine on his breath, yet he must have
failed to see me.”

“How do you think he escaped from
the building?” Miss 1929 was asked. “My
own impression,” she replied,
he jumped out of the window,of one
“of the girls who were looking for him
in the graduate corridor, and so filed
down Gulph road.”

Story of Night Watchman

Represeritatives of the News also ¢on-
ferred with one of the watchmen who
were on duty at the, time. “We were
returning from Rockefeller that night,”
he said, “where we had been called-on
a false alarm by the porter, who had
got the window up, when we heard faint
screams from Denbigh. We then ran in
that direction with our lanterns, and, on
arriving, found the whole hall in an
uproar. -Hurrying upstairs, we searched
the attic thoroughly, but found no one
there.”

In order to have a8’ comprehensive and
unbiased an account as possible, the
News next obtained an interview with a

student not residing in Denbigh, but in

Pembroke East, overlooking the scene

“Sheridan had the ‘School for Scandal’

Prichard Eaton, speaking on creative
writing ard the comedy of manners, at a
tea given by the Liberal Club in Pem-

October 12. :

“It is the polish and: finish which he
gave to the writing that have made the
play live its two centuries, while a play
of our modern realistic’ school lives
scarcely four.” “The School for Scan-
dal’”’ will be presented at the Broad Street
Theatre, opening on October 26: Will

any comedy of George M. ®ohan last
so long?

No play can live which is merely
photographic, which has no _ form.

Rhythm and-beauty of: sentence, like that
of Millamant’s agreement with Mirabel
about “dwindling” into marriage, and Sir
Benjamin Backbite’s description of his
verses, “a neat rivulet of text meandering
through a meadow of margin,” are the
enduring qualities of a piece of literature.
In contrast with these quotations, Mr.
Eaton read conversations from “Is Zat
So?” and “The Butter and Egg Man,”
now running in New York. “In_ fifty
years,” he declared, ‘‘no one will be able
to understand | those lines without a
glossary.”

“Bernard Shaw’s works have stood some
test of ‘time. In 1890 I saw ‘Arms and the
Man,’ now being produced with great-succesg
in New York. Two years later I went to
‘The Devil’s Disciple,’ recently a very success-
ful revival. And there was ‘Candida’ last
year. Shaw’s plays have not died because they
have wonderful polish and workmanship,
which the realistic productions lack. The
latter are not given the necessary time
and pains.”

“| aROW MANY CHRISTIANS,” ASKS
REV. PETTY, IN’PHILADELPHIA?™



Helpfulness, Sympathy, Democracy and
Sacrifice are Four Essentials



“Imagine, that instead of being here for
the ordinary purposes of worship, you
were here’ to discover how many Chris-
tians there are in’ Philadelphia.” This
problem was offered by the @Reverend
Ray Petty, fastor of the Judson Memo-
rial Baptist’ Church of New York City, in
Levening..Chapel,-October—10.__

Instead of consulting all the chal
aid Y. M. C: A, lists, the Reverend Petty
suggested as_a better method following
the text, “By their fruits ye shall know
them”—fruits nat external, but products
of the life of the individual.

, “Christianity is a simple thing.
these days creeds have too many winding
We “are searching for esoteric
things, things deep and mysterious, in-
stead of simple truths.” Reducing the
requirements of a Christian to four es-
sentials of behavior, he demanded help-

In

fulness, sympathy, democracy, and sacri-
fice, all qualities which Christ possessed
Fad

in the highest degree.

“How canvwe call ourselves: or others
Christians if we in our daily contacts do
not show the element of helpfulness?”
Most of us are inclined to be selfish; we
must not forget the example of Christ in
helpful deeds.

Sympathy is a reflection of the heart
which knows how to love. Democracy
includes sympathy with» all races and
classes, and also with all shades of cul-
ture. In educational institutions, intel-
‘lectual snobbery is even more menacing
than social snobbery.

“All of us must sacrifice some things
we have a right to keep, in order that
other people may have what they have
a right to possess.” This may be done,
not merely by great, spectacular sacri-
fices, hut by those humble acts for which
everyone may find an opportunity.

If these tests were applied, we would
discover a very different list of Chris-
tians, a list from which many deacons,
trustees, and clergymen would be—miss-
ing, and which would include many of
the common run of fotk, many who: have’
no connection with established churches,
but who, according to their fruits, are
true Christians.

HARVARD sisi
. DR. LEUBA ON MYSTICISM

“Invaluable. to Student of Mysticism”
Says William. Ernest eins





Leuba’s inquiry is sani Sevdiied,:
bristling with facts, and carried with a
studied effort to be fair to all sides of
his subject. He regards the mystics as
mistaken in their own interpretations;
they think they have attained union with
God when their ecstasies are very mun-
dane in origin. But their efforts have not
been wholly vain; they have succeeded
in tapping unusual sources of Life-En-
ergy; and no one who wants to know
human nature and its possibilities can
afford to neglect their achievéments.
What is needed, he urges, is to eliminate
what. is abnormal and to get rid of the,

| hampering. theology and metaphysics in

terms” of which the mystics made their
experiences turbid to themselves and to
others:
The body of Leuba’s work consists in
the demonstration of abnormal elements.

VIOLATION OF RULE
MAKES SMOKING ISSUE



of College Presidents Preceded
by Student Consultation





General acceptance of women’s smok-
ing has led the Self-Government Associa-

has become more or less obsolete.

Smoking may, by our efforts, be made
one of the big issues of the meeting. 01
the Presidents of some of the Eastern
Women’s Colleges on October the twen-
ty-third. It is hoped that the Presidents
will find that their interests on the ques-
tion coincide to the extent that each may
return to the Igirectors of the college
with the statement of the géiteral and
‘mmediate necessity for a new and less
rigid smoking rule,

Previous to the conference of the col-
lege Presidents, a meeting has been’ ar-
ranged in New York for the eighteenth
of October, at the instigation of our Self-
Government. Association, which will be
attended by the Presidents of Student
Government at Vassar, Smith, Wellesley,
Mt. Holyoke, and Bryn Mawr, to discuss
the smoking situation and its possible
solution at the various colleges. Should
the need for some less severe rule be
discovered to be as acute at the other
colfeges as it has become at Bryn Mawr;
it is hoped that the Presidents may de-
vise some feasible plafis to lay before
their college Presidents in order that they
may have their material at hand at the
conference on the twenty-third and come
to some definite decision that will imme-
diately materially better the situation.

For the purpose of discovering the
opinion of the undergraduates as to the
advisability of having a new smoking
regulation, our Self-Government. Board
is circulating the following questionnaire:

1. Are you in favor’ of the present
rule in regard to smoking?
smoking with some restrictions?

It. is important for students to think
constructively before filling out the ques-
tionnaire and to realize factors of safety
and convenience which stand in the way
of unrestricted smoking. Only in this
way will the opinions be of any value.

No assurance as to the outcome of the
conferences can be given, but every effort

WE AIM TO PLEASE

The News periodically deplores its lack
of editorial policy, and feels that in re-
taliation it must occasionally throw out a
morsel of an idea to keep the wolf of
public opinion from the door. In short
it proposes to run reviews of all plays
opening in Philadelphia,

It seems unimportant to attempt re-
views of New York performances which
find their way here after disillusioning
years on the road, have been seen by all
the New. York members of the studem
body, and mercilessly hacked by Mr.
Benchley and Mr. Woolcott, but we feel
at liberty ‘to try our skill on the dark
horses which a ce first night is
destined to produce.

Our critical views may not coincide
with Mr. Hornblow’s, and we may live to
see ourselves gainsaid by the powers. that
be, but we hope to entertain, and en-
lighten-to the extent of deflecting hard-
earned undergraduate dollars from obvi-
ously poor plays.

A RATHER TARNISHED
SILVER LINING

‘It gives one no small feeling, of satis-
faction to discover oneself several years
ahead of the march, and so it is with us
as to, the ‘chapel question. Yale, we
learned a fortnight ago, has changed the
ruling of daily -compulsory chapel for
upperclassmen to three days a_ week.
Next follows Vassar, with a petition
backed by a person no less than Presi-
dent Me¢Cracken himself, that . Saturday
compulsory chapel especially be aban-

of the remaining six be required, and that
the religious element of the Monday,
Wednesday and Friday evening services
be eliminated. So now even though Vas-
sar has a splendid Students’ Building, and
Yale has broken ground for its new
dramatic building, while the turf near
Rockefeller appears curiously untouched,
wé can smile with the satisfaction of
knowing that at least we have had no
compulsory chapel—well—for simply
years, m’dear.



“ONE-ACT PLAYS”
By Christopher Morley.

These. plays should be started after
the day’s work has been done, and the
day’s exercise t@ken, so that the average
reader can thoroughly reconcile himself
‘to a pastime so casual, so light, and — so
innocent, *

_ Morley works. up his situations. in a

remarkably simple and_ lifelike way.
Things do-happen, after all, when young
marrieds are talking and washing dishes
in a kitchenette. And. things happen
when tired department store clerks are
dressing a window with a three hundred
dollar bedroom suite, which they feel to
be an awful bluff, but accept anyhow, on
thew““gum” philosophy—the taste only lasts
elteiead but people can chew it for
hours.

There is Walt Whitman’s last day at
home, with Dick (Richard Harding)
Davis, and Logan Pearsall Smith. That’s
a play, and a vivid impression of Ameri-
can thinking in the days of Poe and the
“Evening Sun.”

“East of Eden” completes the list, and
guarantees the work as Morley’s. God,
with a capital G, comes in for a few
knocks from the first. family, after they
have taken up fig leaves and a suburban
residence, and there is an interesting view
on fhe use and value of children devel-
oped.

more, easy to act. With small casts, no

To the editors of ha College News:

I noticed in the last issue of your publi-
cation a notice to the effect that the Varsity
Dramatic Committee interids to produce for
its first play Ice Bound, by Owen Davis, I
want to suggest that this choice‘is in-
auspicious, to say the least. A new or-
Fganlization must be ultra-conservative in
initiating its actions to escape censure,
and I feel that the committee has over-
looked this important point.

I saw 7ce Bound when it was’ produced
in New York two years ago, and have a
very vivid recollection of it. It certainly
seemed hardly the type of play that Bryn
Mawr would care to sponsor. The im-
promptu skit, or the Gilbert and Sulli-
van comic opera have seemed perfectly
permissable for light drama, but in the
more serious* vein, the productions whose:
success I have on occasion witnessed
have always been a wise selection from
the dramatic classics. A deviation from
these plays of unquestionable morality
seems ill-advised. Surely histrionic abil-
ity can be equally well displayed in plays
whose matter is less sordid and revolting.

Student Strike Threatens at Wabash.

Rumblings of discontent are becoming
louder and louder at Wabash College
over the Trustee ruling banning student
owned automobiles. A “pep” meeting
before the Purdue football game quickly
turned into an indignation meeting when
Dr. Mackintosh, President of the col-
lege, announced that no student would
be permitted to drive a car from eight
o’clock Friday night. Here. the student
body voted unanimously to strike if some
violator of the rule is expelled from col-
lege.

the members of the Executive Board of
the Trustees refused to give their per-
sonal reasons for desiring the abolution

The Wabash Bachelor student pullilicas

In its editorial column it lashes the trustees
unsparingly. To the plea that the enact-
ment of a law makes it right, the editors
have this to say: The enactment of a law
or ruling does not make it. right, and col-
lege students, as well as anyone else, have:
a perfect right to object to rules that they
deem unjustifiable. When an autocratic
body makes laws for the mass without the
consent of the mass, then is it right? The
trustees are trying to force an objectionable
rule on the students, and they hav right

sequently they have taken the only weapon

phase of auto-eroticism. Without sub-

sctibing to Freudian psychology, and
wholly avoiding its terms, Leuba clearly
régards.much of mystical experience as
a substitute for normal sex-life, a product
of repression. fhe motives of the mystics
aré supposed by them ‘to be purely. spirit-
ual; but an analysis of their lives shows
that their moral aspirations were not un-
mixed with self-assertion and self-esteem,
and tltat their moral goals were incom-
pletely attained.

No one can doubt the pertinence of
such facts as Leuba has here so usefully
assembled to the question what mysti-
cism means and how much credence it de-
serves, But just what and how much
do these facts imply? Leuba appears not
wholly definite on this point. Neuras-
thenia does not exclude genius. The
presence of an element of sex-love in
supposedly divine love does not condemn

it; for a lofty interpretation transforms—

every experience. But for the most ‘part
Leuba seems to feel that if he can show
a physiological cause or accompaniment
of an experience, he has thereby dis-
proved a spiritual meaning. That which
is due’ to Nature is not due to God.
Leuba’s book is a crusade against super-
stition; he would extract the value of
mysticism without the pretense of cosmic
insight, and without metaphysics. Yet
Leuba’s own interpretation is governed
by this metaphysical doctrine, that Nature
and the God of the mystics are incom-
patibles. This doctrine I believe pro-
foundly mistaken, and the interpretation
which results from it must miss the main
point. The difficulty is that psychology
is not a sufficient organ for the interpre-
tation of anything. A “state of mind” is
a state of mind about some objett, and
he who studjes the state of mind apart
from the object has but half of the fact.
Mysticism, in particular, cannot be assess-
ed without deliberately wrestling .with
those metaphysical objects which to the
mystic are the central substance of the
world. camera
Suppose that psychology should dis-
cover someday just what it is in the self-
discipline of the Yoga or in the spiritual
exercises of Loyola or in modern psy-
chotherapy which djs, strengthening to the
will, There would emerge a technique
of psychical power; but what sort of
personality would ‘result from it? ‘That
would depend altogether on what those
exercises should mean to the one who
performed them. The Yogin of today
is an adept, a gymnast of the psycho-
physical organism; but very generally a
thoroughly unspiritual and, socially use-

less person. There is no physiological”

equivalent for communion with God. Ex-
hilaration is not ipso facto divine, as
Leuba seems to suggest. Unless there is

ro

God in the world, nothing is divine; the _

adjective is merely the echo of a lost
faith. And if there is God in the world,

the mystic must be judged by the literal:

possibility of communion with Him.
In a genial footnote, Professor Leuba

divides the scholarly Gaul into three parts.

“There ‘are,” he says, “men who plunge
into the detailed study of facts with a
singlemindedness such that their creative
imagination is endangered, and there are
men who impatiently shake the dust of
facts from their wings and soar glori-

jously. The first are called scientists, the

second philosophers.” The third division,

FIRST VESPER SERVICE LED

‘ BY WINIFRED DODD, Saad
_C. A. President Explains Connection of
. Association and Member. :

“Each year there is a re-enrollment and
a new enrollment in the Chrisian Asso-
ciation,” said W. Dodd, ’26, snap in
Vespers last Sunday.

“I wonder if you could think a little
now almost a month before the member
ship drive about C. A. In what way you
can help the association to fulfilk its aim,
to unite its members in thought and
Christian work, and in what way or ways
the association can ‘help you~ build-your
own interpretation of the ends. Active
membership shall be open to any person
in the college who desires to live after
the example of Christ.

After we have been in college four.

|_ years our knowledge and-sense of-respon—

sibility will have increased, and with them

our understanding and sympathy. Our

direct community will be larger and more
all embracing, but one can probably trace
some similarity between it and this col-
lege community. I may be prejudiced in
favor of the Christian Association; I may
be painting its possibilities and achieve-
ments in shining’ colors, but I think that
from its activities, small as compared with
those of the next community we may live

in, one cah get a certain realization of
the practidal application of Christianity,
as welljas a great many id¥as to weave
into our philosophy 6f life.

After all the Christ of today, findihg
the same .problems of sickness in body
and soul, would ‘still be the man of pa-
tience and strength and«courage; the
teacher and the healer, and the lover of
little children. It ‘isn’t an impossible or
improbable -thing to want: to live after
Christ’s example, and perhaps now, when
we're making an attempt to, figure out
life, we can get a clearer vision if we
do get out of ourselves and work a bit
for other people.

The maids’ night school, Bates House,
and to a certain extent the centres for
social service, belong very particularly to
us. They are not national institutions,
but. they were started and are run by us.

to religion, some of us may want an intel-
lectual road to religion and some of us
may want both. Some years you, the
association, tend to follow one direction,
some years another.

redtize that you, each and every member,’
are the association, that your ideas and
ideals determine the policy, that you are
supporting and enjoying the work of the

A NEW CONCEPTION OF
A MODERN UNIVERSITY

By Abraham Flexner,
from the Atlantic Monthly for October.

I

The term .“university” has a definite
méaning on the Continent and a fairly
definite meaning in Great Britain; but
in America no copyright—legal or tra-
ditional—protects its use. though the college is itself far from
being a standardized institution; a
chaotic mixture of primary, intermediate,
industrial, and theological classes; .an

educational départment-store containing
a kindergarten at one end arid Nobel
prize winners (or as good) at the other,

with all possible forms and varieties of °

schooling and training, practical and pro-
fessional, between, and a mail-order an-
nex besides; finally, a college with a
graduate school overlapping and a group
of organically connected graduate pro-
fessional schools—all are called univer-
sities in America. These brief char-
acterizations are descriptions, not -judg-
ments. They are meant to bring home
vividly the complexity of the existing
situation; they raise in the first instance
no question as to value or importance
Thus the analogy of the department-
store is not meant to belittle; for the
department-store is one of the triumphg
of commercial genius. It purveys ex-
cellence as well as mediocrjty and in-

feriority: tts tendency“and effect have

been not only to bring the products. of
science, skill, and art to the doors of
all, but also to elevate the level of pub-
lic taste. This is precisely what the
large American universities are doing—
diffusing knowledge at the current level
and by that very act raising the level;
and not only diffusing knowledge, but,
in laboratories and libraries tucked away
in corners of the great institution, re-
fining it and adding to its sum.

It would be futile to attempt to nar-
row or to change the use of the term.
I propose to discuss a modern univer-
sity that differs more or less from any-
thing nqw called a university in Amer-
ca; and it is not a r@gearch institute,
either. But it is idle to invent a new
title; for a *new name would have. to
fight for life, and, if it survived, ‘would
soon be so freely appropriated as to lose
precise significance. ¢\s it is impossible
to expropriate existing institutions, it is
best to adhere to the much-abused*title.

To make clear what is in my mind J
shall try to define my conception of a
university adapted to modern intellectu al
needs, now inadequately met, by © con-
trasting the proposed institution with the
more comprehensive of existing institu-
tions of learning. Thus we omit for the
time being the mere colleges, sometimes
hardly more than secondary schools, now
called universities; we omit also the

_grammar school, industridl, and theologi-

cal classes, loosely strung togéther: in, a
single institution, which have sprung up
to answer current and rapidly changing
needs i in certain sections. We make the
proposed contrast with the greAt educa-
tional department-stores made up of col-
leges; graduate _ schools, professional

extramural classes, whigh,«characteristic
product of democratic conditions as they
are, are borne along by forces perhaps
beyond their control in the endeavor to

sisi
‘ Soe

The story of higher education in Amer-
ica has been often told and may for my
present purposé be ‘briefly summarized.
The American collége was in ‘origin an

adaptation__of _the English college—in-

scope practically a secondary school for
the economically advantages or for pros-
pective lawyers, clergymen, and physi-
cians. A fringe of poor students burn-
ing with the desire to learn was, how-
ever, always in evidence, in the old home
as in the new. Increase of knowledge,
increase of wealth, the spread of democ-
racy, naive faith that knowledge and
power, education and intelligence, go
together, resulted in the rapid expan-
sion of the American college. New col-
leges were established in unprecedented
numbers—by local communities, by
States, by religious organizations, by
individuals anxious to be remembered or
inspired by the desire to pay the future
for the advantages which a rich, new,
wide-open country had bestowed upon
them. No such rapid and extensive de-

velopment could in a brief period have
possibly been sound or homogeneous;

‘that must necessarily be a matter of

‘ime. Meantime complications arose.
The local high school developed.. That
displaced the college in the scale of
values, It forced the college to be more
than a secondary school. But the high
schools themselves were uneven and-un-
exacting; hence the displaced and ele-
vated colleges had, to a large and vary-
ing extent, to be high schools still. They
could not discard the type of teaching

school, though in age their students were
fairly beyond the secondary stage. More-
ovef, the combination of unexampled
prosperity, faith in @ducation, and love
of frin enormously increased college .at-
tendance, so that administrative prob-
lems quickly arose such as could be
managed only by mechanism often harm-
ful and inappropriate to students ap-
proaching ‘one-and-twenty. These con-
siderations explain certain characteristic
features of American colleges—their
number, their rapid increase in size, the
unevenness of the student body, their
lack of intellectual seriousness, their
overlapping with the high schools, the
excessive regimentation which holds stu-
dents t@ a strict accounting only to find
that every formal .requirement can be
regularly fulfitted by essentially unedu-
cated boys and girls,

Fifty years have now passed. Col-
leges galere and even high schools are
capable of giving good undergraduate
instruction, if only students embrace the
opportunity. Graduate schools have
multiplied; some are well staffed and
well equipped, others extremely flimsy;
no matter—they cultivate research and
confer advanced degrees. Meanwhile
other needs than the cultivation of re-
search have made _ themselves felt.
Eager to “serve,” the colleges and uni-
versities have tried to meet them also.
The result has been almost incredibly
complex: Strong American universities
-—to mention no others—with resources
ranging from $30,000,000 to $100,000,000,
re nowadays at one and, the same time
1) colleges for high school graduates,

some ill trained, some well trained, some
serious, many trifling; (2)
college graduates, some
ready for advanced opportunities, others
unready and incapable; (3) research in-
stitutions in which, usually in odds and
ends of time snatched from a heavy
routine,

times very competent, at other times less

swell the volume of publications and

edge; (4) professional schools, some-
times’ well equipped, oftener not, in which
faculties constituted partly of trained
teachers, partly (usually largely) of local
practitioners, turn out first-rate scientists
as well'as pattern-made dgctors, lawyers,
pharmacists, dentists, journalists, busi-
ness men, and teachers; (5) extension
institutes, sending out educational mis-
sionaries to light candles here and there
in the enveloping darkness; (6) corre-
spondence and radio schools, seeking to
offer at long rdnge, by the penny post and
wireless, guidance and stimulus: to those
with whom physical contact cannot be
established; (7) athletic and social or-
ganizations, complex, expensive, in some
respects good, in others very bad. |
Most of these purposes are worthy,
particularly in a democracy, where every
individual is entitled to his chance, and
where the merest chance may result in
uncovering genuine talent. None the

gories which I have succinctly formu-.
lated—and they do nét quite cover the
scope of any of the really great Ameri-
can universities—represent from a quali-
tative point of view an amazingly wide-
‘spread field; some are hardly more than

trades; some are mere handicrafts, al-
most devoid of intellectual content; some
represent intellectuality diluted; some go
to the very limit of sheer intellectual
capacity.

In every one of these schools, depart-

ments, divisions, or activities, there are
weak students and strong students, im-
mature students and mature students.

The probletn would be simpler if the uni-
versity could take a single attitude to-
ward the entire student body. But it
* cannot. The majority need sometimes
more, sometimes less, parental care. A
minority are ready for freedom. But the
authorities are more afraid of harming
the majority: through lack of care than
they are of harming the minority through
excessive oversight. How, one asks, can
a single institution discharge all the
varied functions I have named in a situa-
tion as complicated as the situation
which I have described?

2

America has its answer to this ques-

. tion in the form of one word: by. means
of “organization.” Magical word! Com-
plex, interlocking, -ramifying, varied, ex-
pensive enterprises have to be ,“organ-
ized”; thus railroads, trusts, department-
stores are made‘ to .work and “to. pay.
Precisely the same is true of a modern
university with its complex, interlock-
ing, ramifying, varied, and expensive ac-
tivities; they have to be “organized,” else
chaos and bankruptcy will inevitably re-
- sult. A president with large executive
powers, a squad of deans who serve as
his lieutenants in charge of separate de-
partments, schools, and activities—there
are approximately twenty deansrin one
university—not to speak of a host of
other officials with similar major and
minor functions; central offices with rec-
ords and accounting systems adapted
from finance to education; requirements
—entrance; curricular, graduation —
iscoe out with mathematical precision
or the semblance thereof; courses, units,
credits, that are for the purposes of ac-
counting treated as if they were as defi-
nite in value as ergs or foot-pounds;
advisers, vocational guiders, psychologi-
cal testers, personnel managers, coaches
—all engaged in policing the variegated
undergraduate body, in keeping them off
the grass, out of the water, in the middle
of the road, to the end that in due course,

with character unsullied, diploma in hand, |’

they may be severally returned to their
mothets ‘or landed in a congenial job!
Meanwhile. somewhere, more or less
sheltered from, the traffic—real thinkers
—not a few—are also. at work with
groups of worthy disciples. I dare say
nothing so widespredd as this’ kind of
university could have come about except
as a mattet of necessity. Boys and girls
wanted to go to. colleges, professional
schools, and graduate schools; they had
the money and the credentials. There
was nothing to stop them; perhaps on
the whole at this stage of our develop-
ment it was best not to stop them. Ways
had to be devised to handle the busi-
ness: so it was “organized.”

In so far as the college is concerned,
there are, happily, indications that steps
are being taken here and there to select
students, to create conditions “more fa-
vorable to scholarship, to bring about
order, concenttatin, and individual fe-
sponsibility. Thus perhaps a few col-
leges characterized by intellectual ear-
nestness may be created or developed.
But unless American youth undergoes a
revolution of which there are at the mo-
ment few symptoms, most American boys
and girls will seek colleges not predomi-
nantly intellectual in outlook. Their
problem, on account of the numbers in-
volved, may have in the main to be le-
cally solved—as the high school problem
has been sotved—through funds provided
by taxation. | Thus ultimately, ‘different



colleges may choose to do different
things in their severally appropriate
ways. As for’ the rest, it is idle to

prophesy what will happen to American
education if ever “the water. is squeezed



out of it;” surely no nation will perma-
nently go on’ devoting sixteen years®to
the kind of education American boys and
girls nowadays receive as a result of
their leisurely progress through element-
arye school, high school, and -college.

Tit

From the conditi@ns &bove described
the graduate school seriously ‘suffers. 1
said that the graduate school was de-
signed to promote research and_ the
higher training of competently educated
students. Now, research is in the first
place a highly individualized affair. Men
work in all kinds of ways; the univer-
sity must be loosely put together
that teacher and investigator: are free
to follow what are for THEM, not neces-
sarily for anybody else, Hnes of least
resistance and maximum effectiveness. So
much—for—the faculty... But. something
similar is true of advanced students, They
are persons of mature years, presumably
trained, in so far as tlfe thinking and
effort ahd devising of other people can
ever train any one. The graduate. stu-

so

dent is, therefore, most favorably condi- |

tioned if he is free. He knows the field
of his*interest; books, Mboratories, fel-
low-students, and faculty are all there
to be used. It is up to him to work out
his own salvation by making use of the
opportunities and facilities which the uni-
versity has brought together, partly for
him, partly for other persons.and-pur-
poses. Thus the university is essentially
a free society of students, professors, and
pupils mingling naturally in the pursuit
of intellectual aims.
