OWE DEBT TO STATE.
By Edmund J. James, President of
University of Illinois.
Many failures In the college work of
th first two years can be directly
traced to alcohol and tobacco. The
only safe thing for college students In
such matters is, taste not, touch not,
handle not. Senior and Junior might
build up a most excellent college tra
dition If they would prohibit freshmen
and sophomores from smoking and
drinking, on the ground that they are
atlll infants, at least, in the academic
sense
The habit of treating and urging Tel
low-Htudents to learn to smoke and
drink on the ground that it belongs
to good lone in student societj, is
unworthy of the American college stu
dent, and should be consigned to the
Umbo or klddish tricks, to he sufTercd.

T'" ,.s..mony of science is over
Whelming to the effect that the habit
ual use of tobacco or alcoholic drinks
during youth or the carl years of
manhood is destructive alike to the
development of habits of study and
sense of lesponsibilit y, and thoiough
ly weakening to the fundamental ele
ments of moral and Intellectual char
jicter
College students should follow the
Himple economic principle or doing at
college the thing which i the most
advantage to them at that time and
places the acquiring or habits and the
doing of things for which other places
offer better or, at least, as good oppor
limit ics. ,
Dance at Home.
You can learn to dance at home as
well as here I believe, indeed, that
there are better dancingmasters in
Chicago, or even Bloomington or De
catur, or Springfield, than In Urbana
Champaign ir you wish to excel in
this art, therefore, it would be better
to Belect some other place or resi
dence You can learn to drink and
smoke at any small town In the state
of Illinois, and the elements of poker
may be learned even at any cross
roads You can learn to play baseball
fairly well at many places in the state
though I must concede this is per
Maps the very best place for that par
ticular subject It is certain that you
can acquire skill in football at other
places as well as here
The one thing you can do better
here than at home is to develop your
Intellectual powers Here you have
vastly greater facilities to assist you
In this particular work than are to be
found, with few exceptions, in other
towns In the state. Hut you can not
secure this development except by se
vere mental discipline on your part,
by study and work Dawdling along
over your books or your problems or
your laboratory work, and thinking
chiefly of social or athletic matters,
will not bring to you the specific ad
vantages which university residence
ought to bring. If you fall to take ad
vantage of these opportunities you are
wasting your time and money, what
ever else you are doing, no matter how
skillfully you may lead the German, or
edit the college paper, or pitch ball
All these things have a place and a
proper place in college life, but they
should not be permitted to interfere
with the real purpose for which col
leges and universities exist
