INTOLERANCE.
Dr. Charles A. Elhvood of the
University of Missouri, recently ad
dressed the American Sociological
society of which he is president, on
"Intolerance."
"During the past year," runs the
text of Dr. Ellwood's address, "one
of my graduate students investigat
ed the teaching of the social sciences
in sixty-two colleges of a prominent
Protestant denomination in our
southern states. It is perhaps suf
ficient to say that he discovered that
there was little freedom in these
colleges in the teaching of those sci
ences, when they were tolerated at
all. Not only was the pressure of so
cial, political, and economic ortho
doxy in evidence, but religious ortho
doxy practically forbade the teach
ing of organic evolution, and hence,
of loyalty to modern science.
"Nor is the intolerance confined
to denominational collefes. The evi
dence published by the American
. ' . j. i r e
Association oi university rroii'ssurs
shows that it is all too frequent in
some of our largest and leading
universities."
It might be possible to find that
certain sciences are not taught with
as great freedom as they should be
at the University of Nebraska. That,
however, is a matter for the profes
sors themselves to pass upon and
it is not likely that the open-minded
professors would long assent to dis
tortion of scientific truths by preju
diced instructors.
a
An irksome intolerance appears
in some classes probably at every
university. The professor, under
the impression that he is being liber
al, urges his students to original
thought. But when the examination
papers are corrected, any idea with
which the reader does not agree is
circled in red. The student is usual
ly hopeful, and takes the professor
at his word until he learns by exper
ience that he must repeat exactly
what he has heard in lectures.
But intolerance of this sort is by
no means commonly encountered in
classrooms. Often the students are
intolerant of spending time in prep
aration. It has been said that one
Nebraska professor leans in the
other direction he gives the high'
est praise to students who openly
disagree with him, probably because
he fears his judgment is biased.
Yet, it is true that original
thought on the part of students is
curbed by instructors who are too
impatient to explain the faults of
a new proposal, who make no effort
to understand one, or who are preju
diced in favor of a particular doc
trine. a
Other parts of Dr. Ellwood's ad
dress may easily be applied in solu
tion of the greatest social problems
of the day, such as settlement of
labor unrest, and prohibition.
"This theory of the origin of so
cial revolutions was perhaps never
better expressed than when Presi
dent Wilson said in one of his public
addresses, 'Repression is the seed of
revolution.' All scientific
psychological study of the effects of
repression upon the individual has
substantiated this theory.
"Men rarely undertake civil war
between classes, any more than war
between nations, without serious
grievances. Utopian and radical
thinkers do not cause revolutions,
but rather voice discontent which;
already exists. They may further
revolutionary movements, but they
do not cause them. Such movements
are caused by the discontent which
naturally arises from the thwarting
of human impulses and desires.
"Social experience seems to show
that if those in power, whether they
represent a majority or a minority,
will seek to Veep open the means of
understanding and sympathy be
tween 'classes; if they will keep nn
trammeled public criticism and dis
elusion of public policies, and all
the means of forming rational pub
! lie opinion, and of selecting author-
itics to carry out tha same, there
will be little danger of catastrophic
revolution being resorted to in any
social group
"Nothing short of the diffusion of
the scientific attitude can free our
people from that control by selfish
personal and class interests, which
renders them intolerant toward new
ideas and toward every proposed
change."

FOOTNOTE ON EDUCATION.
We confess to a certain idealism.
We like to think of the student as be
ing a person somewhat different from
the usual run of human beings. We
like to think of him as having differ
ent tastes, more sophisticated tastes,
more refined tastes. We like to do
that, but when we face the facts we
cannot.
Thrown into the company of intel
ligent persons, usually for the first
time in his life, the student from
Podunkville has, during his college
career, a chance to lose forever his
provincialism and to gain something
of sophistication he would never
have seen, had he remained at home.
One would think the student would
at least ape the intelligence of those
persons he must of necessity meet at
the University, if for no other rea
son than to surprise Podunkville
when he returns to it.
One would hope that the student
would not simply ape the intelligence
of those persons, but would actually!
acquire the point of view ot tne in
telligentsia, would gain the knowl
edge of what is shoddy in art and in
life and go home a sadder but wiser
man.
The student, however, neither does
what we would think he would do,
nor what we would hope he would
do. He goes through the University
without change and leaves in the
same virginal state of mind as re
gards taste as when he came. He
has merely acquired a series of faqts.
When he leaves the same motion
pictures appeal to him as appealed to
him when he entered the gates of
higher learning. When he clutches
his diploma, the same novels are on
his bill of fare as when he held his
entrance certificate; and when he
steps on the homeward train, he
laughs at the same slapstick which
tickled his sides back home. Ohio

schedule. With the substitution of
Drake for Washburn, Nebraska was
to play four Valley games. It was
the intention of the coaching staff to
have no week-end during the season
without its game.
A full column of matter was devot
ed to one- and two-line statements
about the mouth, ranging from the
ridiculous to the serious. The first
sentence said, "The mouth js one of
the most important organs of the hu
man body," and the last sentence
was that "it's the world's greatest
liar."

Twenty Years Ago
A review of the football season
showed that thirteen deaths and 296
injuries had resulted from the sea
son's games. It was noted that only
one of the deaths was to a college
man, the others being on high school,
grade, or professional teams.
Living was cheaper then than now
as is evidenced by the fact that three
five-dollar meal tickets were being
offered by a local cafe for ten dol
lars. A one-week tour for the Glee Club
during the spring vacation had been
scheduled. The manager was re
stricted to one week for the trip but
was very fortunate in securing en
gagements for every evening. Grand
Island was the most western point on
the schedule.
Ten Years Ago
The 1915 football schedule had
only two dates remaining open. In
eluding the two open dates which
were to be filled, the schedule was
especially favorable for the home
fans. It had been arranged to have
six games on the home field, while
but two were to be played elsewhere.
