ALUMNI INFLUENCE.
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." Indiana

Law Must Be
Obeyed
A committee of the First Plymouth
ConKretration. 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.
