Men and women of the commercial world ure justified perhaps, when they say it takes a year or two for a Uni versity man or woman to become ac climated to the world of business, for while in college most students shut themselves away from the outside world and hibernate as far as ques tions and events of national import ance are concerned. The limit of most University stud ents' daily reading is the college pa per at which he glances during the add minutes just before or after a class or at his meal time. The city most students unless there is some thing so sensational contained there in that morbid curiosity drives him to it. During the last few days several questions of more than national im portance have been hanging fire. Treaties between world powers have ibeen signed, certain economic forces have driven labor to take a determ ined stand against capital, the Irish question apparently is near settle mentand many other things which are vital to us at the present time or when we will be members of the working units of the world. ' The investment of two cents each day in a daily paper and half an hour's time going through it would be more than worth our expenditure and effort even if we don't need the "Advice to the Lovelorn." Contemporary Opinion. Uni.of Washington Daily. THE OLD QUESTION. . Homecoming week revealed an as tonishing number of graduates who r.re not following the work they took up in college. The forestry student Is now a stock salesman, the home economics major Is touching school, tho Journalist la in business, and -so on. Does this prove the oft-repeated as sertion that tho value of a college is After all only cultural? Is tho process of learning more important than the facts learned? Judging from the alumni, there is ground for" the belief that training In one particular lino of work is not the Important Hiing in a college course. If culture, a general sharpen ing of the wits and an increased ability in dealing with unexpected situations are the only fruits of a university career, why go in for them exclusively? It took a long time to get voca tional studies listed in our college curricula. Apparently results do not measure up to expectations. Does this mean that we shall, or should,! revert to the classical type of college which confines itself to purely cul tural studies and leaves the technical training entirely in the hands of the technical schools?
