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 " ,- ;

Professor Frye disclaimed any-In--torition
of belittling the eastern, stu

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

of his sphere, A western tudeht has
