CHANCELLOR AVERY GIVES
ADDRESS AT CONVOCATION
. (Continued from page 1)
a univerrity that is not doing some
thing in scholarship, adding something
to human kno ledge, stimulating Its
youth along the line of advancement
and discovery, cannot long maintain
the confidence and respect of the
world.
Stands for Trutt
Perhaps the most chara,-teristic
difference between a university and
any other organization is that the for
mer must stand at all times for abso
lute truth. States may exist and do
a beneficent work for their people and
still be permeated with corruption.
We are free to admit this in connec
tion with any system of government
other than our own, and many of our
fellow citizens do not make an excep
tion in this respect. So also religious
systems full of error may do much
for the welfare of mankind. If the
living vine of a glorious faith clings
to the dead branches of the dogma of
the past, I would be the last to wish to
pull them rudely apart. Even in the
public schools different editions of
textbooks are used in the north and
in the south, telling from a different
point of view the story of the war be
tween the states.
Now I do not mean that a university
will not be colored by the feelings and.
prejudices of its constituency, but a
great scholar and teacher must rise
above such things. Let me illustrate.
Patriotism, religion and popular edu
cation in Japan may unite to teach
that the Island Empire has been under
the guidance of a single family for
nearly thirty centuries, and that the
present Mikado is the direct lineal
descendant of the son of Heaven. But
if a Japanese university should seri
ously teach, or one of its scholars try
to defend this claim, the university
would lose much in the respect of the
world. A university cannot afford to
shield error for the sake of expedi
ency. We cannot teach doctrines
which we know to be false or absurd
because the public mind desires that
they be taught If the public still be
lieved the world to be flat and was
fanatical in this view, the university
would, in spite of this fact, be obliged
to teach the Copernican System though
it might possibly refrain from con
stantly agitating the subject in the
newspapers, especially during a legis
lative session. The truth must be
known and recognized, and on fitting
occasions and in a proper academic
way proclaimed to the world.
University Impartial
To win the highest respect of man
kind, the university must be impar
tial in its treatment of men. Appoint
ments and promotions must be made
upon merit alone. By merit I do not
necessarily mean the result that
would come from competitive examina
tions. Such tests are at best a some
what clumsy method of measuring
the relative ability of men. The merit
which should be possessed by men and
women in university positions is a
proper combination of several quali
ties, including power of initiative, sane
thought and conduct, fine scholarship,
great Industry, and the ability to work
without friction among one's col
leagues. One of the greatest
sources of strength of the University
of Nebraska among the people of the
state is the knowledge on the part of
every student that his scholarship
grades and his chances of recommen
dation for appointment to positions
here or elsewhere will depend almost
entirely upon his individual merits.
If a young man wishes a position ss
county agent in our extension service,
his appointment in connection with
the University of Nebraska will b
made on the record he has made. On
the other hand, if a young man wants
a position in any business enterprise,
the amount of stock that his family
can vote will frequently (as is per
fectly proper in private business mat
ters) be an important feature; but
within the walls or the university
perhaps more than anywhere else in
this world of frailties, a young man or
young woman receives treatment
based on merit alone. Those univer
sities of the country which, like our
own, have most strictly adhered to the
merit system, stand highest in public
esteem; and the few which have ap
pointed to positions of Influence men
of questionable attainments, the rela
Uvea of wealthy donors, have been cor
respondingly depressed in the respect
of the educated world.
In the desire to command the ap
proval of the public two extremes of
university attitude towards the public
have arisen. Some worthy institutions
have assumed the somber gray of the
monastery and have withdrawn them
selves to a certain exteDt from the
rest of mankind. They have put their
light under a bushel instead of on a
candlestick; they have made import
ant contributions to knowledge which
have slept for many years In musty
volumes practically inaccessible to
use; their faculty and students have
finally come to believe that they are
in a way distinct and separate from
the rest of mankind, almost of a dif
ferent species, until that which at first
