In the College Press department of The Daily Nebraskan there ap pears an editorial from the Indiana Daily Student in which Charles Russ Richards, president of Lehigh Uni versity, charges that alumni exert an evil influence on the undergraduates of American Colleges. Following, as this statement does, on the very heels of the recent declaration of Dr. Alex ander Meikljohn that 'the "greatest need of the American college is the education of the alumni," this charge throws open to discussion the whole purpose and result of alumni movement and the alumni organiza tion. There can be no doubt of the powerful influence alumni can and do exert on the character of an edu cational institution. Whether this influence is good or evil is an open question. Dr. Meikljohn and presi dent Richards are of the opinion that it is evil. Their charges are worthy of examination for if they are true, or only partially true, a radical change in the character and purpose of alumni organizations should be demanded. STUDENT RELIGION. "The Christianity of the students today is a rather washed-out reli gion," Dr. Bruce Curry of the Bibli cal Seminary of New York City de clared Wednesday in opening the ser ies of Bible study discussion groups. If Dr. Curry's statement is to be accepted as true, an interesting ques tion is raised. Where does the re sponsibility for such a condition rest? Is the attitude of the students the explanation, or, should those in charge of their religious education be held to account. This question is one which defies a definite answer. The situation giving rise to it is so complex, so crossed with conflicting currents, that to fairly and definitely fix responsibility for its existence is impossible. There is, nevertheless, one fact which cannot be ignored. Despite the fact that many students are indiffer ent and complacent in their attitude towaH religion, it is also unfortun ately true that these in charge of their religious education have often bungled their work. They have been content to indulge in generalities, to instruct in theology, and to hand down dogmas and creeds when some thing more fundamental was needed. As a result many students have never felt the urge to undertake an intelli gent consideration of religion. Their own religion has become a colorless remote, innocuously general thing which has little or nothing to do with their lives. Not only is there an indifference to religion but there is an ignorance of its actual meaning. Many stu dents are unable to give coherent form to their own idea as to just what religion is. They cannot define a word which they use habitually. As for the less important detail of theo logical belief their knowledge of it is even hazier. To ask many of them to define "immaculate concep tion" or "original sin and redemp tion," and such kindred phrases, is to propound a conundrum which is well-nigh unanswerable. This indif ference and ignorance is not univer sal but it is general enough to be of concern to those who are interested in the attitude of the students to ward religion. It is instruction and discussion of the kind offered by Dr. Curry which may go far to dissipate this ignor ance and indifference. Treatment which is specific rather than general, treatment which is based on logic and good sense rather than on theology and creed, may restore vitality and color to a conception which has be come washed out. Alumni Influence Good or Bad? Alumni of Western Conference universities are charged by Charles Russ Richards, president of Lehigh University and a graduate of Purdue University, with corrupting athletics and morals of their respective insti tutions by encouraging graft and drinking. Much of what the Eastern educator charges is painfully accu rate. In part President Richards says, Very largely through alumni influ ence inter-collegiate atnietics nave been so prostituted as to render them postivcly undesirable in their effects upon the general character and the code of ethics of college students. Many college students today seem inclined to go to greater excesses in the use of intoxicating liquor than in the past. College officers are doing everything in their power to create a proper restraint against these evils, but their task is rendered vastly more difficult when alumni of a fraternity- carry liquor into the fraternity house, and when it seems necessary that every alumni dinner or reunion oe sufficiently wet to supply the stim ulus for what is regarded as a hilari ous time. It is doubtful whether liquor con ditions are worse than they were a few years ago. The older grads say the situation is fully 100 per cent, better. Yet, the problem is still one of the most complex for the deans, and President Richards doubtless is justified in saying that alumni are more detrimental than helpful in allaying the evil. But, alumni control of athletics is an ever-growing menace, loo often the alumni stand off hundreds and even thousands of miles, read the scores, and then send a cry heaven ward for a change in the coaching staff and the athletic system without anything more than a superficial knowledge of where the trouble real ly lies. The remedies they propose, as President Richards charges, often "subsidizes athletes by one device or another and the spirit of graft and hypocrisy is thus openly and flag rantly encouraged." Every institution depends primar ily upon its alumni for existence and growth. It is because of this fact the grads should use every precau tion to exercise the type of influ ence that will counteract President Richard's accusation "Men thus educated grafter or crook."

Church hat looked up the city ordinance and found that it U forbidden to place chairs or to al low people to stand in tha aisles during- services. As a law abiding or rani&ation and one which seeks to promote respect for law, this church has no choice but to conform to the ordinance. Hereafter, therefore, none will be admitted beyond the seating capacity of the building. The attend ance at our last film service was be tween 0 and 100 per cent more than we can accommodate on this irw basin, and we trust those who may be disappointed will rem lite that it is not lark of welcome but lack of accom modate on which prevents our receiv ing; them in our present building. Dr. Holme will preach Sunday at 11:00 on '"Count Tolstoi" the Junior Church at the same hour and "Smil in Through" will be the subject of the film service at 7:80. There ia practically always room at the morn ing service, though the church is ap proximately full at every such serv ice, and those who come early enough will find seats at night.
