INSPECTING WESTERN UNIVERSITIES
Sings the Praises of Philippine Insti
tution and Believes in its Fu
ture 8uccess.
Dean (opeland, deuu of the collogo
of agriculture of tho University of tho
Philippines, was on the campus yes
terday visiting IiIb old friend, Dean
Bessej , and inspecting the botany de
partment He Is on a tour of Inspec
tion through the country, stopping at
most of the larger universities on his
route, and from here ho goes eiiBt, bo
fore sailing for the Philippines.
The I'niversity of the Philippines
is situated lu Manila and is one of
the moBt progressive of the newer
universities having already attained
a world wide reputation. It consists
of colleges of arts and science, law,
engineering, medicine, pharmacy, and
all the departments are strong
The people of the Islands are eager
for such educational advantages and
tho work of developing Instruction 1b
progressing rapidl The college of
agriculture, of which Mr Copelund 1b
dean, is separate from the rest of tho
university in that it iB situated out
side of the city limits. In somewhat
the same position as the Nebraska
furm
Likes the Philippines.
Deun Copelund bus been with tho
university for eight yeurs, and Buys
thut tho longer he stayB the better ho
likes tho country and tho people, and
the opportunities fon tho development
of the Bchool are more apparent. Tho
students there ure very teachable,
and make as faithful a class of stu
dents us could be found. However,
their outlook Ib not ub broad as that
of the Anglo-Saxon studentB and it
will take yeurs to develop this spirit
among them
Tho tour of inspection thut Mr.
Copelund Ib making Ib not only ono
of gaining new IdeuB and material for
his work, but also of finding new men
with the energy and ambition that Ib
essentlal in such work Younger
men, who ure capable of holding re
sponsible positions in the school are
needed, and the dean has already
round several who fill the bill. With
tho addition of these men ho plans to
have a stronger course and faculty
than ever at the opening of school
next fall, and will bo better prepared
to meet the demands of the increased
. regiBtrution thut comes each year .us
more of the people are brought into
contact with the Bchool.
Tho Aystem of public schools that
has been installed in tho Islands by
the American government, with teach
ers, most of whom are college gradu
ates, is responsible for tho desire for
learning on the part of tho Philip
pines. As a result hundreds of young
men are graduating each year who
are prepared to superintend the de
velopment of their country, which Is
resulting In tho rise of tho industrial
and eduactional standing of the
Islands.
All candidates for the student mem
bership on next year's athletic board
must file their applications with the
secretary of the board not later than
12:00 o'clock noon, Monday, May 13,
1912.
