MORE ABOUT THE HONORARIES
The fight on the class honorary so
cieties has been extended to other
campuses. At the University of
Ohio, The Ohio State Lantern makes
the following revolutionary sugges
tion in regard to the selection of
members for honorary organizations:
What about picking the three
men on the campus who do the
least good for the University,
but the most for themselves;
who do not pursue campus hon
ors, but who love beauty; who
do not have large acquaint
anceships, but who know their
own hearts; who do not love
the University, but who love
learning; who do not study, but
who think
out of tha disadvantages which U
attached to thta hurried and unwise
method of selecting fraternity mem
ber. ,

THE FUNCTION OF THE LIBERAL
COLLEGE
In the old colonial community, the
clergyman, as in lesser degree the
lawyer and the teacher, was the man
of ideas. He was no mere teacher
of the gospel and tender of the par
ish. While his people lived their
lives it was his task to reflect upon
their livinr. to formulate the beliefs
on which it was based, to study the
conditions by which it was molded, to
bring to clearness the problems by
which it was faced, to study the mor
al, social, economic, political situa
tions of which it was constituted. It
was his Dart and the part of men or
like intellectual development to at
tentat to understand the lives which
other men were living with lesser
degrees of understanding. It was his
task to serve as prophet and seer, as
guide and counselor of his people.
It was for this task that the liberal
college intended to prepare him. And
in these latter days, as the scope of
education has been extended more
broadly, the same liberal education
has been given to great numbers of
our young men, whatever the profes
sions thev are planning to enter. At
the present time a very small per
centage of our college graduates be
come ministers; more than half of
them enter into some form of busi
ness occupation. But whether they
are to be in business or in the minis-
W welcome every new extension
of vocational instruction. We know
that every man should have tome
snecial task to do and should bt
'trained to do that task as well as it
can possibly be done. Tha more the
special trades and occupations are
(raided and directed by skill and
knowledge the more will human life
succeed in doing the things it plana
to do. But by the aame principle we
pledge ourselves to the study of the
universal things in human life, the
things that make us men as well as
ministers and tradesmen . We pledge
ourselves forever to' the study of hu
man living in order that living may
be better done. We have not yet for
gotten that fundamentally the proper
study of mankind is Man. Dr. Alex
ander Meiklejohn in Amherst Cata
logue, 1922-23.
Over 11,000 people attended the
University of Wisconsin Exposition in
which the work of eighty departments
was demonstrated to the guests.
According to reports 115 arrests
have been made at Stanford Univer
sity for speeding on the campus
since October, 1, 1924. This is an
average of one every 1.7 days.

This fundamental belief of liberal
education can be stated in terms of
two principles. The first is shared by
both liberal and technical teaching.

them will probably always be a re
ward for those who have served on
ticket selling committees, who have
been cheerleaders, who have been
business managers, who have written
boosting editorials for the college
paper. Those who-are indifferent or
hostile to" these extra-curricular acti
vities will be ignored. This is as true
of the honorary societies at Nebras
ka as it is of those at Ohio. It is
a condition which results inevitably
from the very nature of the organi
zations and one which will continue

When the time comes when the
mttioritv of the students realize that
a man eoes to a college to develop
liim'self and not acquire a repu-j
tation for activity, the honoranes
will quietly pass away. Until that
time comes we are privileged to wit
ness the incongruous spectacle of
organizations, actively opposed to
education and its aims, thriving in
the undergraduate life of our insti
tutions of higher learning.

The first principle applies to all
hisrher education. We recognize that
human deeds may be done either of
two ways first, by habit, bu cus
tom, by tradition, by rule of thumb,
just as they always have been done;
or on the other hand, under the gum
ance of study, of investigation, of
ideas and principles by which men
attemot to discover and to formulate
knowledge as to how these activities
can best be done. Now all higher
education, liberal or professional,
rests on the belief that on the whole
an activity which is understood will
be more successful than one which is
not understood. Knowledge pays;
intelligence is power.
The liberal school and the proxes-
nional are. however, separated by
their choice of the activities which
each shall study. Every professional
school selects some one special group
of activities carried on by the mem
bers of one special trade or occupa
tion and brings to the furtherance oi
these the full light of intellectual
nnderstandincr and guidance. The
liberal college would learn and teach
what can be known about a man's
moral exDerience. our common
speech, our social relations, our poli
tical institutions, our religious aspir
ations and beliefs, the world of na
ture which surrounds and molds us,
nnr intellectual and aesthetic striv
ings and yearnings all these, the
human things that all men share, tne
liberal school attempt to under
stand, believinir th. if they are un
derstood, men can live them better
than they would live them by mere
tradition and blind custom. But one
of the terrible things about our gen
arntinn is that the principle which it
accepts so eagerly in the field of the
vocations it refuses and slums in tne
thinca of human living. 1

But the father is not content wjwi

To the Marcd Polos of 1925
DID the worltThold more to be conquered
in the days of courtly adventurers than
it does for daring knights of '25 ? Does no far
off Cathay, no passage to India, beckon today ?
Terhaps not ; but that's no- reason for dis
appointment. Graduates of 1925 can look about
tliem without sighing for worlds to conquer.
There's high adventure in the lanes of busi
ness, liidden riches underfoot. The very
hugeness of modern business demands bigger
vision than ever before. Thinking must be
on a scale so large and unfettered by prece
dent as to try any man's mental equipment.
Ilere's where college graduates have proven
their mettle. Here's where they have justified
their training. And here they may indulge
their fancy for exploring new fields.
