MANNERS OR IDEAS
The defense of the class honorary
organizations which appeared in the
Student Opinion column of The Daily
Nebraskan Sunday contained the ar
guments which constitute the last
stronghold of those persons who be
lieve in the efficacy of extra-curricular
activities as a means of edu
cation. These activities develop, the
atlon, they become actually pernici
ous whon they assume the Import
ance which they now hold on many
campuses.
To some there may be nothing
doplorablo, nothing to be condem
ned in this condition of affairs. But
its results is that no matter how
well American universities are suc
ceeding in teaching their students to
do certain things, they are failing
to teach how to think. And that,
after all, is not only the first duty
of a university, but its only justifi
cation for existence.

Twenty Years Ago
The Varsity opened their series of
games included in their eastern trip
schedule by defeating Highland Turk
College at Des Moines 5 to 3.
Dr. Earnest A. Bessey, plant path
ologist in the United States depart
ment of Agriculture, was assigned to
the work of investigating certain dis
eases of the southern pine in eastern
Arkansas.
Chancellor Andrews addressed the
students at convocation on the im
pressions he received of Vassar and
Wellesley on a trip he had just made
to the east. He compared our stan
dard of instruction most favorably
with those of eastern colleges. Their
faculties were much smaller and
their curriculum of studies much
more limited than ours and thus it
was possible to graduate a broader
minded student from Nebraska. HoW'
ever, one feature in which east
ern institutions were far superior to
ours was in their beautiful campuses
and magnificent buildings.
The College Press
THE CONSTANT THREAT
There is a sub-soil very dark and
writer says, not specialized intellec- sinister beneath the visible aspect of
tual dermises" persons for whom he
seems to entertain distrust, if not
positve dislike but "real all-round
men and women." To develop such
men and women we are told, is the
purpose of "the typical American
university."
The writer may be correct in his
contention that it is toward such a
purpose as this that many American
colleges are drifting, but the ques
tion of whether this tendency is to
a civilized community. In our own
community one does not see all when
he sees the culture, the thoughtful
ordering of life, the respect for social
amenities that cultivated students
show. Every virtue of conduct,
every grace of personality rests upon
unreasoning, crude foundations.
The function of education is to
persuade the individual to save the
surface of culture, and to hold out
be approved is one which will bear 'with a kind of desperateness against
further consideration, it is a ques
tion which involves, as the letter
points out, some judgment of the
function of a university and the pur
pose of an education. The writer
evidently believes that at least a
part of this purpose should be the
development of what he calls "the
social side" of the student's life. The
experience which comes to the stu
dents who participate in activities
brings to them a poise, a knowledge
of human nature which is an essen
tial part of an education.
But is this social development a
part of an education? It would
seem, on the contrary, that an edu
cation should be concerned primarily,
not with experience and with man
ners, but with ideas. The first end
the unreasoning forces that are care
fuly covered over. For the rare
veneer that is evident means every
thing; it is the rich treasure won from
the waste of years.
Education can hardly hope to add
substantially to basic human culture.
A generation, the present living, can
not bring great things of new wealth.
Culture is not that quickly won. Edu
cation can try, rather, to keep its
heritage and resist strongly any de
tracting influence.
The dark side of human nature has
turned towards us often enough dur
ing the past few years to alarm even
the most trusting believers in modern
civilization. The Great War, with its
devastating circumstances calcu
lated killing, blind hysteria and sue-
As theresult of not winning half
of the matches fired this year there
will be no letter awards to the rifle
team. This is the result of a ruling
made when shooting was made
minor sport which was to be reward
ed with a letter.
Out of a total of twenty-five mat
ches fired, Nebraska won twelve and
lost thirteen. One school has not
been heard from as yet but even in
the case that the team won from this
school a majority of the matches
would not have been won and this
will make no difference in the letter
awards.
The firing of the season was very
consistent with about the same aver
age for every match. Each match
had about the same number of wins
and losses.
This is the third year of recogniZ'
ed telegraphic shooting and this
sport is now coming to be an es
tablished activity in the United
States. Nearly all of the State Uni
versities have teams as do many of
the other schools of the .country.
The six high men of the sea
son were: W. Lammli, D. P. Roberts,
R. M. Currier, H. Shafer, E. L.
Plotts, and D. F. Kossek. W. Lammli
won individual honors with an aver
age score of 371.86 out of a possible
400. D. P. Roberts, captain, was
next high with an average for the
season of 367.56.
Under the leadership of Captain
Roberts and the coaching of Captain
L. W. Eggers and Sergeant W. L.
Richardson, the team had a fairly
successful year and with most of
these men back next year and sev
eral promising freshmen who will
be eligible then, one of the best
teams in the country should be de
veloped.

This does not mean that it should
put a premium on, or even encour
age, the sort of academic efficiency
which has come to be associated
with the name of Phi Beta . Kappa.
It does mean that the university
should be a place for the exchange,
the examination, the judgment of
ideas. It should teach its students
how to think, it should train them
to be intellectually independent
This is thefirst and the most import
ant function of any university, state
supported or not.
Any social development which
comes to its students should come
incidentally; it should arise natur
ally from the interest they have in
the work that the university is do
ing. It should not be created or
fostered by artificial means. If
he students of the university are
fortunate enough to experience this
development, so much the better; if
they do not, the university is no
less effective as an institution of
learning. The value of the social
qualities which come from this de
velop ment should not be underesti
mated, but the place to acquire
them is not a university. If an in
stitution is really desired to develop
"all-nround men and women," we
suggest that this development may
best be had, not in a state univer
sity, but in a state-owned and oper
ated country club where, in return
for a moderate tuition fee, the
members may acquire that poise,
that ease of manner, that knowledge
of human nature which is to be priz
ed so highly.
The objection to the class honor
aries and to the sort of extra-curricular
activity which they repre
sent is that they are side-shows
which are, in the words of Wood
row Wilson, "eclipi ing the main
tent." Stress has come to be laid,
not on the curriculum, as the writer
of the letter seems to believe, but
on the activities. Not that the stu
dents are not, interested in grades,
but th . matter at stake here is
more fundamental than grades.
What really has happened is that
the atmosphere of activities has re
placed the atmosphere of ideas and
thought which should characterize a
university. Activities, athletics, so
cial lift! these three things too of
tu gain a supremacy which should
be accorded only to the real pur-)-
-! cf a university. Harmless, but
v. . .j t less, when they exist in modeo-
the surface of civilization.
In everyday life, in the life of a
student community, the same revela
tions are made in a less spectacular
manner. Suspicion between man and
man, a willingness to impute dishon
est motives to a rival, not to say evi
dences of rank dishonesty, are only
too often lifting out of the surface
of student life.
Education can add little to the 1
is readily understandable how such
a system would correct some of the
faults in our present method of edu
cation. It would eliminate the lack
of personal contact between profes
sors and students; it would help
mend some of the imperfections in
the reader system; it would elimi
nate dishonesty in examinations, for
cheating during this type of an ex
amination would be impossible.
Therefore, such a system is worth
consideration.
There is a vast difference between
the University of California and
Harvard, which, of course, must be
considered. The former has several
thousand more students, and such a
system seems impossible under our j
conditions. Yet, the . idea might be
altered or enlarged. We are too often
in the habit of thinking that what
ever is, is good. An interview with
a faculty advisor even once a month
would be helpful. If each professor
had twenty students to direct
throughout their college courses, and j
if he took a personal interest in them, I
much could be accomplished. The J

HINTS FROM HARVARD
It has been said that the most im
portant contribution made to collegi
ate education in the last twenty years
is the Harvard System of tutors and
of general final examinations. Prof.
Clifford H. Moore, recently appoint
ed dean of the faculty of Arts and
Sciences, attributes a growing desire
on the part of Harvard undergrad
uates to attain scholarship distinc
tion, to this new system.
Each student who is concentrat
ing in a field in which there is a
final examination, is assigned to a
faculty advisor at the end of his
freshman year who becomes his per
sonal advisor throughout his college
course. The student has an inter
view with his advisor or "tutor" at
least once a week, and the latter by
suggestions and constructive criti
cisms directs the student in his work,
at the close of the senior year
general final examination is given to
test not the memory but the intellec
tual powers of the student.
Judging from reports the system
has been-highly successful at Har
vard in developing a liberal educa
tion in the true sense of the word. It
