LINCOLN, Sept. 22. (Special Telegram.)
Dr. E. Ilenjamln Andrews was formally
Inaugurated chnncellfir of tho University of
Nehrnska this morning. The Inaugurating
ceremony was held nt tho auditorium buforo
nn audience of 3,000 persons.
The University Cadet band opened tho
program nt 10 o'clock by playing tho In
voked the dtvlno blessing nnd Evan von
Forell, president of tho university board
of regents, welcomed tho now executive In
n short address, reviewing brlelly tho work
of tho university In past years and outlin
ing its alms and objects, l'aul 11. Weaver
nf this city, a graduate of tho university,
next welcomed Dr. Audrews on behalf of
tho students.
In his Innugurnl address delivered In tho
Lincoln auditorium on Saturday morning,
September 22, Dr. Ellsha Ilenjamln An
drews said:
Mr. President, Regents of thu University,
Colleagues, Students nud Friends, Ladles
nnd (eutlcmcn: In common with nil the
newcomers present, whether instructors
or pupils, l thank those nf you win have
been here before for the welcome you ex
tend to us who now nnnenr for the first
time. Already domiciled among you, we
snuu soon uc naturalized in uio community
u lid have our vote Mnv the Year now
opening be richer than any preceding one
In all tho university's history! It can be,
It should be. 1 know you all Join mo In
vowing, u slum no.
To ho permitted to address you toilav
affords mo rare pleasure, For years I
have cherished an ambition to lieoom ' a
Nebraska!!, luylne, plans to that end long
beforo 1 had any expectation of member
ship In this university. What seemed to
a peculiar solidity of character In the
people of the commonwealth powerfully
attracted me. If -the uroverblal enchant
ment of illHtanco possibly helped originate
this liking, the liking bus been continued
by all that 1 have seen during the weeks
KII1CO I Hot tout j pou .N OlmiHKil sun us u
resident.
When tho foreman of nn educational
establishment like this begins his work
people more or less naturally expect from
lilin miiiiu sort of u nroiiuncinnieiitn touch
ing the policy which he would like the
Institution to pursue. It Is Impossible for
me to announce uuv such pollcv In detail
Jf I had h new university policy bristling
wiiu particulars i snouiu noi wian to sec
It forth public'.!-, for tho reason that, pro
vided It contained novel mntter enough to
l worth unnnunelng, llm publication of It
would bo thought to threuten u sudden
break in university growth. If l wished
radical changes, 1 should wish to Introduce
them gradually, producing an evolution,
not a revolution. Hut I say frankly that
I harbor no plan for nny changes In the
university save those Involved In its
natural, rapid and healthy growth. Some
tilings wnieii i mini; tne university ougni
to liwjo anil strive ror will emerge us i
nroeeeil. but 1 have no detailed urogram
1 think so extremely well of what others
have placed hero for mo that I am quite
content to let It bo, deeming myself happy
If I can on Is- add more nf tho same kind.
There urn some criticisms of another
tripe which perhaps wo cannot quite so
succcssiuny nice i, tiiose, iinmoiy. alleging
minis in tne mental worK none in univer
vlfl.tu. 1n nhitrH' imltliii- mul wrv million fit
Presenting truth, errors Into which pupils
are suffered to fall lu connection with their
clio co or studies, mid vnrlous distempers
mental and moral of which It Is said pupils
ere permitted lo become, tho victims
through tho r Into ectual pursuits.
There Is a widespread belief thnt univer
Ity teaching on certain subjects Is hero
una inert) luaseii. pervertetl, illsnonust, no
reflecting the best results of sclentillc In
vfstluatlon. but shudtni:. IcnorliiL- or sun
pressing these at tho behest of powerful in
terests. social, monetary or po lltlcul. Thu
n university mnv get pus In Its blood In
this way professors lived not bu thrust out
of their chairs or formally tnuzzled therein.
Pressure so silent that the victim Is un
conscious of It will sunlce and It is In this
quiet way that freedom in touching Is must
often destroyed. This evil has not gone far
and thero Is no danger of Its becoming geli
eral In the United States, but tho mnlady
Is In its nature so terrible thnt n slnelo
caso or it or even tne threat or such may
well prompt precaution, like the rumor
that ii cholera ship has cleared for America
from a foreign port.
How Ineffably Important, how vital lib
erty of teaching Is I need not set forth
hero. l'iVen tho most arbitrary govern
ments have sought to guard It lu their
schools. Tho urcumcnt has been nblv none
over point by point hundreds of times. Hut
mere nro iwo remariis which i ueg to emphasize.
uno is mat mo entire community neeus
to havo university teaching unbiased and
cannot but suffer from a gag policy. When
shall we learn what nil history so clearly
leaches, mat tne real roo or progress is
never tho Innovator tho tnun wishing to
forco Into belief and practlco his mistaken
new Iden. Tho quack, the harebrained,
gubglftcd fellow has little power. Llko the
wind, ho bloweth whero ho llstoth; ye hear
tho sound thereof, but cannot tell his point
nf departure or whore he will bring up.
it milium mil ii il llltlll -'IM1 lurillt'llioil lie-
fore his time? The real foe of progress Is
the well-meaning, stolid. Inslghtlcss, lead-en-mlnded
conservative, who dooms each
new Idea a crime the creaturo against
wnom nnaKcspearu wnrns us in tho passage:
"What custom wills, in nil things should
wo do't.
The dust of antlquo tlmo would He un-
swept
And mountainous error bo too highly
heaped
For truth to o'erpcer."
Tho professor's prlvllece of declnrlnc In
a proper manner what he believes to be tho
teachings or science mis personal preroga
tive Is theroforo not the main thing. Tho
regnant, tho towering consideration Is tho
public welfare. Tho world cannot nffnrrt
that any truth or any representation which
an intelligent anil nom-st teacher believes
to bo tho truth should bo forcibly kont un
der cover Part of what professors teach
may bo false of course. All the more lot
It bo ulred thnt It may bo refuted and wo
know Uh untruth. If the teaching Is tho
mini, an nereo tnni it oucnt tn nn nn h
Ilshed. though the whole world nt llrst tie
rldo tho prophet who lifts his voleo to urn
claim It. The more nny theory snubs our
treconceptlons tho more ought wo to wish
i openeu io mo worm una put to proof.
My other remark Is that stato unlversl
ties aro more than any others bound to
stand for academic liberty ngnlnst what
ever inuuonces inrenton to lessen this.
Savs llenrv l Adams in his recent wnrlr
on the "Functions and Revenues of Government:"
"It s essent nl for tho modern stnth tn
support public Instruction, because thero
Is no other wuy to guard against the lad
ing of Its Ideals through tho rise of an
aristocracy of learning. It Is natural that
institutions mat iook to tho wealthy ror
further endowments should be Influenced
in their administration by tho Interests of
tho wealthy class; unu it requires no great
lnsleht to percelvo that the tilial result of
exclusive reliance upon private benefac
tions ror nny nnaso or gruuo or education
will bo that tho Instruction provided will
not only reflect the Interests of a class bjt
will be confined to u class. A state
which alms to perpetuate democracy cun
not decline to make ample provision at
public expense for all phases and forms of
education. In no other way can a system
of public Instruction, which Is by fnr tho
most potent agency in snaping civilization
bo broucht to tho support of democracy."
Another Indictment relative to university
teaching touches the manner rather than
the mutter of It, find It has, I must say,
a good deal of Justlllcattou, If college and
university teachers could be brought to
uouest conressltm nearly an wouiti in sacu
cloth nnd nshes plead guilty to one mon
strous sin. that of Inattention to nuda
goglcal principles. The recent Hood of
pedagogical Interest, which has so re
freshed tho whole Held of common school
teaching, has apparently left the sand
wastes of higher Instruction-giving ns nrld
as ever. 1 do not mean that we have not
reformed the curriculum, for wo have.

Suppose ono of ua selected by lot were

amination, and what sort of an examina
tion ought to be set In order to compass
that end? 1 atn afraid that many a pro
fessor thus catechised would be found
rather budly at sea.
Again, at what stage In the nverage
pupil's advancement rfnes the general use
oi inductive teacning become sarer i
have a feellna: that In work for the bach
elorship Inductive teaching, thnt Is, the
investigators method as contrasted with
the expositor's method, In too common,
and that this accounts for much of stu
dents' Inutility to rtiisi) large or complex
subjects llrmly. I should be only too glad
to navo me suspicion connrmea or re
futed, but can find few who have given
tho problem thnueht. AVo are. to be sure.
devoting much tlmo possibly too much
to graphic methods, projection nnd the
like, but the general subject of Illustrative
presentations ns n serious pedagogical de
vice Is, so far as I am aware, llttlo con
sidered by college men.
.Must we not, most or us, ncitnowieuce
that wo study nil 1 to ton little the lncle nf
our subjects, the relation In C-ach, of part
to part, that slipshod reasoning defaces
our prelections and our pupils' perform
ances and that we allow terms' works of
pupils attainments to pass which are mere
agglomerations of Isolated data, wholly
wanting logical connection?
Tho idenl organization for tne teaching
forco of a fiil'y-mnntieil department in a
university would bo u small number of
general courses for students beginners In
tho department or otherwise who for nny
reason did not wish, as yet or perhaps
ever, to specialize In It. nnd a very largo
assortment of particular courses, canvass
Inc. among them, every newest and most
recondite phase of the subject or subjects
In charge of the department. A general
student could thus learn something of
every part: a special student everything
of somo part. Perhaps no university on
earth fins the force to organize thus Ideally
nnv seirment or instruction in it. hut tho
Idcnl Is nevertheless a helpful one to beur
in mind.
