THE HERO WORSHIPERS :
11 ,
Athletic authorities at the Univer-
sity of Illinois have decided to en-
shrine in the trophy room or tne
school Red Grange's football sweater
and never to allot 77 Grange's num
ber to another Illinois player. Stan
ford University is following suit and
is to emulate Illinois with Ernie Nov-
ers' Number 1 sweater. Pictures nave i
recently been broadcast of Grange
gazing at his sweater and register-
ing emotion. But, to upset tne ap- .
pie cart, Grange has jumped to the
ranks of professional football, much
to his profit and to the sorrow of
Bob Zuppke and his cohorts.
In spite of Mr. Zuppke's protesta
tions to the contrary, his publicity has
had much to do with the craze over
Grange. Such stunts as that with the,
sweater, in which a rather ordinary
garment, probably one of a dozen
that Grange has worn, is regarded as
something sacred, are responsible for
the distorted public conception of the
Illinois halfback. And until Illinois
and other schools refrain from wor
shipping football players as such
the unwelcome condition will con
tinue. Like most of these bright ideas, the
sweater idea will probably spread,
until every football player of any
note may feel sure that no ether foot
baller will ever wear his beloved 93,
or whatever it may be. If this policy
of not repeating numbers continues,
we may expect in a few years to
see football players coming on the
field with numbers ranging from two
or three hundred up to a thousand.
All lower numbers are taboo, for' the
good old Simpkins, '26, wore such
and such a number when he played in
the Swiash game. And so on.
ALGER COME TRUE
One of the popular fancies of boy
hood is that in which the boy re
turns to his home town, after a num
ber of years, and is honored nnd fet
ed by the town's leading citizens.
Such a theme, of the rise of a poor
boy to prominence, is as favorite
with the writers of novels.
Emory Buckner, '04, now United
States Dist. Attorney for New York
is an example of the old story come
true. Mr. Buckner entered this
school more than twenty years ago,
with a wife and little money. By
dint of hard work and little play, he
worked bis way through school, grad
uating with Phi Beta Kappa honors.
He then went to Harvard, where he !
received his law degree, his rise in
the legal profession of New York has
been so often told that it needs no
His rise in
re-telling.
To those students who are workinjj
their way through school against the
seemingly tremendous odds, the
story of Emory Buckner should be
heartening.
AN OPPORTUNITY
Duke University of North Carolina
is now the best endowed school in
the nation. James B. Duke, the to
bacco manufacturer, made the school
rich almost overnight when he do
nated to it a large part of his im
mense fortune. The college, form
erly a small, and insignificant, is
now in a position to rival, or surpass,
Harvard, Cornell, Dartmouth, Chi
cago, or any other of the larger en
dowed universities of the country.
Without financial limitations and
with no hampering traditions, the
trustees and officers of Duke Univrer
Bity have an unheard of opportunity
to perform a great experiment in edu
cation. Other ll-endowed schools
have been held back because they

wore spending almost all tholr reve

changing the established order of
things. With Duke this does not ex
ixt, and with a clean start, tho school
should embody all that is modern in
education. If it does not, the collet
officiuls have passed up an oppor-
tunity to do the educational system of
the country an incalcuablo good.
College Press
la College Futile?
Tho most severe arraignment of
aemrter college eilucntion wnien nas even
ctmio to the attention of this depart
ment is here reprinted from a plain,
honest, fearless .and now defunct,
little paper called "The Villager."
"Colleges depend upon industry
now, to be sure, and are coming more
and more so to depend. It is be
cause so many kodaks are sold that
the College enlarges its philosophy
department, and pays the astronomy
professor a living wage. It is be
cause the cigarette business, the pig
iron and sweet chocolate business,
do so well that the College can build
new laboratories. On the other hand
captain of industry would not make
these generous bequests to the Col-

nnd delight in fads and fashions and
luxuries of all sorts 100 per cent
consumers.that's what Industry needs
to keep the whole wheels revolving.
The College furnishes plenty of them.
Industry need not fear the College;
the proportion of educated which it
affects is so small as to be negligible,
and is more than offset by the fact
that the College makes the sons and
daughters of coal miners and immi
grants "refined," and refinement
means a taste for chintzes and silk
socks and sedans and renting-library
fiction and fancy snap. The College
helps Industry. Industry helps the
College. Allies ,."
The thoughtful student need hard
ly ask himself if the charges are
true. To read them is enough to
carry conviction that the writer saw
with unusual clearness the principle
failings of college students, taking
them in a lump the country over.
Every year an innumerable horde
of boys and girls from every variety
of home storm the citadels of learn
ing drawn there in the main by a
common belief that college is a bless
ed institution for increasing money
making ability. And every year a
similar multitude of young men and
women are sent forth to their sordid
battle from the gates of our colleges
armed with a sheepskin, a bundle of
new desires, a few common-place j
rules of economics, and with hardly!
a trace of originality among them
an army of pygmies fresh from the
mold. The procession is a sufficient
commentary upon the general state
of college education.
Colleges erect immense new build
ings, install new systems, set enroll
ment limits in the thousands in
short, strain every resource to ac
commodate more thousands. To what
end? Their Gargantuan efforts have

THE
American life ; a, complacent, mater
ialistic, pleasure-seek Ing class of
half-educated men and women.
And yet America seems not a whit
appalled by tho apparent futility of
her experiment Perhaps Its sequel
proves that the great majority of
mankind is immune to any extraor
dinary intellectual growth. Educa
tion, beyond its elementary stages,
implies a capacity for development
which may be non-existent in the
majority.
Why, then, do not tho colleges re
nounce the impossible and start
anew on more solid ground? Im
plicit in the democratic idea Is found
a redeeming paradox in numbers.
American colleges throw open to
every youth a real equality of oppor
tunity to carry his own development
to the highest point of which ho Is
capable. And so far as American
colleges provide sufficient elasticity
in their Bystem a striking tendency
of the last few years; so far as they
care in this way not to super-impose
upon tho exceptional student an
equality of condition with the ma
jority; just so far will the hundredth
student justify in himself the waste
! of effort on the other ninety-nine.

is registered by means of a spring
