BIT THE WEST BEATS THE EAST : j -m SOME THERE ARE GRINDS AND SOME ARE NO STUDENTS. professor Frye of Rhetoric Depart !gment Tells of His Personal Obser ,4 vatlons of Ability of 8tudcnts fA of Two Sections. Attracted by an article recently published In' tho Dally Nebraskan, in which a university professor declared his doubt In tho comparative scho lastic ability of western students, Professor Fryo in rhetoric 6 yester day advanced a contrary theory. Pro fessor Frye disavowed any lntontlon of criticising others' statements or of- posing as jm authority In tho hiattor under discussion. Ho sald4that care ful Investigation might disprove sonic of his beliefs, but ho personally be llevcd In tho truth of what-ho said. ProfeBsor Fryo was a student, In pastern schools, and ho has "spen.t several yoars In closo contact with western m'en. He would- seem "therd fore to be well qualified to "speak of tho comparative ability and' energy of the two sections. 8tudent8 and Grinds. In coming to tho west. Professor Frye declared that ho was 'impressed by the Industry among tho under graduates! Ho found tho eastern stu dents divided into" two classes, whTch ho might term "no studenta" -land' "grinds." In tho west there were also; t two clnsses "studont8:,i,ahdl grinds?' '.The university man of the 'east Is' In clined to go to class, and Jmblbo knowledgo through the pores. Tho majority of the undergraduate stu dents of ;,tl$ veiJtern schools study as do the,r,a,dfuaterinen of tho, east. .Thbj Professor Fryo believes to be duo to the fact that the western man alms at something specific whereas In the east the course of study is general. Tho eaBtorn undergraduate as a rule has little in hiy head. "When I graduated," continued Pro fessor Frye, "I had little in my head that I considered ,of value, and I throw away all that I had learned and aimed at something .more spe cific." The western student knows how to find things, in direct contrast to hla eastern contemporary. The case .of an eastern student was cited, from tho personal experience of tho speak er. This student did not' even know ,how to find a word corresponding to "logarithm." ''--.. ti " ,- ; - .4 Would Not Belittle. -.1." J Professor Frye disclaimed any-In--torition of belittling the eastern, stu (iSnts. He is an eastern nianThimself. yet" In coming wosst,he .wa aston ished at hearing the students talk. Their '.knowledge was cylopedic and they were'well, Informed,, having ac. quired much positive information.. The oqly trouble with tho 'wosi juen is, that they have difflculi organizing tho material in their ml into proper written, presentation. THoy can ansver questions intelligently, but when they come to organize ther material Into a complete piece, of ex pository yrrlling they lack power. If the western student should he asked to write a theme .on. general, toplc. and things ho did nqt iJqt'ifiljfy ba3e his futuro 6n, ho wouiah'6taken. out of his sphere, A western tudeht has somo, definite ainrfaad so sokeets shls 'university ;and" college work. $He In terested chiefly, in what furthers that c8 ft' t8? $ - r -if i in V.
