SI1K presidency of Princeton university is a position of dig nity and consideration. The long Hue of men, reaching bin k 100 years, who had tilled it were each in his time among the most dis tiiiuislied divines and scholars of the la ml. By a sort of instinct or chance Princeton had gravitated toward the ari-tocralic. Latterly the university had come to lie known us "the uio.M charuiiiu: country cluh in America. " Its IV ililii: head had avowed it impo Hale) that It should be other than u col lege for rich uien' MM Whatever may have MM expected of him. it van iuepoaaibft for the new president, who, by the way. was the flt-si la.vmau to occHipt tl.e chair, to fall into the easeful tradition of the office It was iiuposlb!e for him mere ly to institute a few necessary reforms and let things -c on much as lieforo lie had scarcel, heen iuaiiKUrated when e very Is si liecumc av.ire Hint, for gtHsl or ill. the Judgment ilav had dawiitsl over the rpilel campus and the Ivied halls.

I Work was absolutely demanded. There wss. of course, an immense sensation when the Princeton students found thst from thn day forth they must go to work. Work had not Ireen I Princeton tradition The reverbera-! tloos of InAlgnntion rolled through the ttkles for several years until there came In u new Isxly of students, pre- pared and wilting lo live up to the new standards. lhiring that (list year also a com mittee on revision of the course of study was appointed to report the fol lowing year. If Princeton was to be a place of Work It was in M fruitful work, work worth doing, worth taking four years out of n young man's life to do. It was to be, nbove all, as President Wll iiiii saw it and continually phrased It, work that would fit n young mnu to serve his country lxtter. He even went so far as to say that he wanted the university to make its graduates henceforth as unlike their fathers as possible by which, of nm-.e, he meant that fathers, being settled in their opinions and in rever erenee for what is established, have n part to play different fmuj that of sens, who particularly m"-t sympa thize with the recreative ami reforma tive processes of life and society. That saying blanched the cheek of ninny an elderly 1'niH etonian; it was spoken in an understanding of the necessity ot opening college doors to the new facts tvhich modern science has added to the store of human knowledge; spoken also In appreciation of the new social conscience thst has been born in the world, though it is slow in coming to the birth in colleges. If It bad fallen to President Eliot of Harvard to proclaim the new age in which the old educational ideas had censed to suffice. Princeton, under the presidency of Wilson, now took up the completing work of positively con structing a system which should con tain the new ideas, the new subjects, and not only contain them, but organ ize them, co-ordinate them, put them Into proper sequence and relation. President Wilson's committee after months of labor, the freed and en thusiastic labor of eager men. promul gated a revised, or. rnthcr, new. sys tem of collegiate study. It was the lirst positive attempt made to bring the new college education Into Intelli gent nnd systematic relationship as a body of discipline. All interested in education know of the revolution wrought by the "department system" that has ever since prevailed at Priuee- ton. While It offered the widest sc for the "election" of studies, it prac tically assured that the studies -'elect ed shouKl leud to one settled purpose that Is, it intelligently co-ordinated a student's work. It turned him out of college not with u smattering of a thousand subjects, but with a pretty thorough training In some one broad group of subjects. President Wilson is entitled to the credit ol presiding over this revision. it was a first evidence and result of that principle of Wilson's mind which demands co-ordination and right rela tionship, and It was the lirst step to ward the transformation of Princeton into a university for the people trealdent WilaoUfl next step was to co in mitt Princeton to the revolution that has co:uc ahoiit with the adoption of the pre tutorial system. It was his Idea that e university had grown too large Ion; er to train its students mere ly throu ..I lectures and examinations There v- la no provision foe the stu dents i ihie. of the daearoonuti what they did elsewhere, where they lived, what tiny talked about, with whom they associated, w hat books they read, what ideals of life were held up before ; theui-wlth all Iheae the university in j the days before had had nothing to do. , Fifteen hours a week in lecture risuns : represent til the only 'opportunity pos IBMeed by the faculty to educate" the i men.
