"$50,000 For Professors"
"A professor of psychology re
cently left one of our eastern uni
versities nd accepted an advertis
ing position in New lork. Thereby
his annual salary was increased from
$5,000 to $25,000. This man was
at the very height of distinction as
a scholar and teacher."
So begins an article in the Sep
tember issue of The Forum, entitled
"$50,000 For Professors." The ex
ample given can be multiplied by
hundreds, the author, Frank Bohn,
declares. and is an example of the
exodus from the campus of highly
trained men to the more profitable
field of business.
Three thousand dollars is well
above the average salary for univer
sity professors, it is stated. The
statistics of the federal bureau of
education for the year 1921-22 show
the following national average:
professor $3,392, associate professor
$2,S00, assistant professor $2,300,
instructor $1,800. "The starvation
of the teaching profession is a fun
damental error in American life," it
is asserted.
The American craze for size, the
article continues, is the center of
the trouble. "Giantism" in univer
sities, the cry for larger enrollment
and more buildings, but not for bet
ter instructors, is tearing down
American culture of national lead
ership. "Our typical large 'univer
sity' is a combination vocational
school and sporting club," declares
Mr. Bohn.
Restriction of numbers, rn univer
sities, rigid requirements for en
trance, the restriction of universi
ties to the two upper classes and
graduates, and higher salaries to
obtain more competent instructors,
are the steps suggested to remedy
the situation.
A total enrollment of not more
than 1,200, with a limit of about
200 for the professional schools, is
suggested. The entrance require
ments would be similar to those for
obtaining a Rhodes scholarship.
Junior colleges, as preparatory
schools, would take care of the stu
dents until the last two years of
college, and "reading, writing, and
intelligible conversation in at lesat
two modern languages, aside from
English, should be taken for granted
upon entrance." Instruction in for
eign languages should begin in the
grades.
Now for the faculty. This should
number from two to three hundred.
The younger members of the facul
ty should be about thirty-five years
old and have traveled and done ex
tensive graduate study. After some
experience in teaching, either in
lower schools or as an assistant, he
should be offered a position at a
salarv of at least $20,000 a year,
with a substartial increase if he re-j
mains. The salaries of the older
faculty members "should equal that
of the avwage corporation lawyer
and the leading scientists in our in
dustrial laboratories." The suggested
salary is from $30,000 to $50,000 a
year.
The size of these 'salaries may
shock some, says Mr. Bohn, but
"this nation spends many hundreds
f millions a year on chewing gum
tnd candy. Our advertising bills
run into billions."
Mr. Bohn's ideas, as be says, may
shock, they may seem revolutionary;
but that there is considerable justi
fication for his stand cannot be de
nied. The matter is at least worth
serious thought and the creation of
such a university as fc outlines
would be s valsatl experiment.

alma mater this morning at the
Armorv. The occasion is th. annnal
freshman Initiation.
The value of this initiation hiay
not be realized by the firstyear men
and women. But that it is valuable
can be seen in the fact that the
University authorities have excused
classes for the event.
There is a great deal more in stu
dent life than study. Study comes
first, of course, but the well-rounded
student must have something more
than knowledge.
The other side of life, the school
spirit, and the social atmosphere, all
of which are truly important, are
stressed at the initiation, as the pur
suit of knowlcdce is stressed in the
class room.
The freshman who fails to attend
will regret it He will miss a part
of his university life.
HIGH SCHOOL LETTERS
It has long been a tradition at
the University of Nebraska that no
letters granted for athletics in high
school are worn by University men.
Most of the upperclassmen1 are
familiar with this rule, but a num
ber of freshmen, who are probably
unfamiliar with it, are wearing high
school letters on the campus.
The basis for this rule is that ath
letic honors should be gained at the
University by University men, and
that the deeds of the high school
athlete are now of little importance.
If the freshmen will take this sug
gestion and remove the letters from
their sweaters they may be saved
some unpleasantness later.

THE MAD CRAZE
It has begun again the mad craze
for speed. Cars shoot wildly in and
out of the jams in front of frater
nity and sorority houses. Automo
biles dash down the hills oblivious to
other cars coming on the streets,
A few days ago the first accident
occurred, but since then, just as
many Fords have been "opened up"
and just as many Lincolns have am
bled alongside at breakneck speeds.
There were no injuries in that first
accident, but any one who walks
across streets in the student district
is in line for one. How much longer
will the brakes hold?
Moralists and puritans have said
things before now about youth and
;peed. They have pointed decrying
fingers at the young things who are
so speedy that they can not get to
classes on time nor pay the frater
nity bills in the afternoon. Speed is
not innate in the colU-ge student
Speed doesn't make a man race down
Indiana rather a desire to be reck
less, to show off. It is a hang-over
from that old-time fondness for
roily-coasters and flying dutchmen. j
Now the time has come for Um-;
versity students to realize that toys
have long since been put away in
drawers and that accordingly child
ish ideas and desires should be dis
carded. It was all very well to play
with the pop gun at the age of seven,
but it is a different matter to shoot
indiscriminately with a loaded pistol
at the age of nineteen. The same '
applies to the hobby-horse and the ,
Ford. When will University stu-!
dents grow out of the hobby-horse
age? University Daily Kansan.
CO TO COLLEGE IF YOU CAN
Commencement days having come
and gone it is perhaps proper to call
attention of the youthful students
to the advantages of continuing the
pursuit of the elusive object known
as a higher education.
We strongly urge all young men
and women who can possibly do so,
to attend college. If for only a year,
go that year, but better go until you
graduate. There have been a great

lege education, and we no not-repeat
them here because they are well
known.
There is a value deeper than the
money that may come to you through
better training for life. It is the
broadened outlook, the great vista
of the unlearned and the unknown
that can only be opened to you
through a wider smattering of
knowledge. No one is more com
pletely conscious of a lack of intelli
gence than the man or woman who
has a good education.
In urging the young people to go
to college, we do not wish for them
to misunderstand us. There are a
great number of goodly things which
will not come with an education,
and they are more important than
intelligence. Strength of will, purity
of life, unselfish ambition and a
comforting religion will not neces
sarily follow an advanced education.
Nevertheless, the chances are that
'further studies will make you better
than you are, regardless of how good
' you may be. You must not lose
sight of the fact that education is
I hut a tool to be used in the work of
I life, not an end to be sought at any
price. It is not your intelligence
! that will make you worth while, but
jthe use of it. Rochester News-Sen-,

"Well IT1 see If anybody is going
to tell me what I can wear and what
I can't wear. I earned this letter in
football and got a lot of knocking
around for it Now I am going to
wear it and no one can stop me."
"Listen, Bill. Remember that
game we played against each other
on Thanksgiving. All you got out of
it was a sprained ankle and I got a
broken shoulder. I felt like you do
about my "letter" until this fellow
talked to mo. Ho asltod mo what I
played in high school and asked how
school was coming, sort of brother
like. Then he told me that I had bet
ter take my "letter" off the sweater
if I wanted to wear it because the
"N" was the official Cornhusker let
ter. He said that when he came
down here to school some fellow
came to him and told him the same
thing, and that it was a tradition or
something like that at Nebraska for a
person to take the letter off if he
wanted to wear his jersey.
Then he told me what everyone
else has, that down here no one cares
much what one has accomplished in
hieh school. He said to get in there
and fight 'em both in studies and on
the freshman squad and he was sure
I could win a letter down here it 1 ;

Bill took a deep breath. "And who i
