Under the heading above the Oma
ha World-Herald published Sunday
an editorial dealing with the much
talked-of present tendency to turn
universities into semi-country clubs,
Bclieveing it worth careful atten
tion, we reproduce it here:
One of the most hopeful things
in America today is the very gen
eral interest in education, the very
earnest desire on the part of every
one that the schools and colleges shall
fill a more useful place in the social
life of the land. One of the dis
couraging things is that this general
interest in education is being misdi
rected among the more thoughtless
and the more youthful, until there
seems to be a very real and very im
mediate danger that from the last
grade in the junior high school to
the final course in college, the school
may become merely an atmosphere
for society life.
Teachers who met in Omaha for
their annual group convention were
told by one of the speakers that the
trouble is there is too much leisure
time, and that it has come so sud
denly that we have not yet learned
how to expend it properly. The col
leges are leading in supplying satis
faction to the cravings for amuse
ment, by providing in their football
teams such mighty spectacles that,
even the gladitorial game of the o!
Rome were witnessed by not nearly
so many people, nor were the gladi
ators the recipients of such devoted
loyality.
The closest contact between the
college and the general public, as
President Grace of Creighton univer
sity pointed out recently, is the foot
ball team. Even as he said so,
viewing Creighton's fine new stad
ium, President Grace made it clear
that this Omaha university has no
money to spend on a stadium; that if
it could, for its scholastic purposes,
raise $275,000.00, there are
a 'dozen crying needs' for the money
before an athletic need could be con
sidered. And it is a matter of bitter lament
at Nebraska university, at Lincoln,
where alumni and the bflsiness men
raised half a million dollars for a
stadium, that there is now no library
adequate in even a small way for the
scholastic needs of the pupils. A uni
versity with a magnificent stadium
and a pitiable library is a paradox
that could not have survived twenty
years ago. If there were not any one
thing, that first of all should be
provided for students in an institu
tion of higher learning, it would be
a library large enough for them to
study and read in, and well enough
supplied for them to find on its
shelves the complete storehouse of
wisdom and experience of the world.
University presidents are becom
ing alarmed at the hundreds of stu
dents who register in the univer
sities with no respect for learning in
their hearts, hut with a very act
ive sense of the pleasure and excite
ment that can be had in cxtra-curii-cular
activities, with the expenditure
of a minimum amount of time in
study. President A. Lawrence Low
ell of Harvard University said only a
week ago before the convention of
American universities, that "students
and graduates of this generation are
far more proud of their achievements
on the athletic field and on the cam
pus than in tho class room; their
studies are regarded as a chore that
must be done as quickly and easily
as possible." '
And Dr. Clarence Cook Little,
when installed as the president of
Michigan university, said:
"We cannot train a mind in the de
velopment of its highest scholastic
powers in the atmosphere of a verit
able Gettysburg of social activities
where, after a prolonged artillery
preparation of jazz and fast traveling
joy rides, a 'Pickett's charge' of dates
and petty but absorbing gossip is in
progress.
And Glenn Frank, taking up the
duties of president of Wisconsin uni
versity, pointed out that there is com
ing to be a demand for a college and
university president who can wheedle
hugh building programs out of the
regents and legislatures, a man whose
principle business is with architects
of wood and steel, not with the build
ers of mental powers;
Whither this tendency leads it is
to early yet to say. Old fashioned
ideals of training in classics', of delv
ing into ancient literature and lan
guage and history for guidance in
meeting present day problems, have
gone by the board. There is crowd
ing into our universities, as a result
of the increased leisure time on all
sides, and as a result of the generally
other university, docs not encourage
the social butterfly. But how to
keep them out, when they study
enough to "get by," is a difficult
problem. Tho World-Herald com
ments on the fact that Nebraska has
a stadum while library and classroom
facilities are woefully inadequate.
That, however, is not the fault of the
University. Many alumni and stu
dents who contributed more or less
freely t6 the stadium would have re
fused to give toward the building of
a library, even if Buch a procedure
were permissable at a state instiut
tion. So there we are.
GOODBY TO U HALL
The tower and roof of University
Hall are to be removed, we learn, as
a part of the renovation of the old
building for further use. A flat
roof is to be substituted. For ur,
this settles the matter of what is to
be done with old U Hall. With the
historic and unusual tower and the
weather-worn slate roof gone, Uni
versity Hall is gone.
For fifty-one years the old tower
has been a landmark. It is the first
thing the new student sees as ho.
crosses Eleventh street on his way
from the station; through his years at
the University.it is a striking symbol
of his alma mater; and when he
leaves his last view of the school is
that of the tower of U Hall looming
up over the trees down Eleventh
street.
The classrooms will remain for
several years, probably, but the ex
terior will be singularly unlovely with
its flat uncompromising roof. The
present aspect of Nebraska Hall, rec
ently saved by this method illustrates
that. With the roof and tower gone
that part of U Hall which held the
affections of students and faculty
will be gone also.
Perhaps its seems foolish to per-
cal Science, will talk on "Nomina
tions for Elective Officers."

more prosperous conditions of the 'Paring of old U Hall is begun we feel
countrv. a mass of hnva anH o-irl umt we re gooaoy to an om
youths and maidens, who have in
them neither respect for mental pow
ers, capacity for community leader
ship, nor desire for a trained mind.
Sontc think that the entrance re
quirements will have to be made more
stringent, so as to sift out those who
have no capacity for intellectual pro
gress, but are only influenced by a
yearning for the careless joys that
surround the campus. It seems that
it is evident that there must be a
swift and severe checking of a ten
dency of schools, grade, high school,
college and university to cater to play
first, and to work last; to let their
destinies be managed by wealthy and
footballically inclined alumni, rather
than by trained faculty men; to
yield to the passing tendencies of a
jazz age instead of presenting a solid
wall for the old virtues that are still
the best virtues. And those are the
virtues that have to do with develop
ing the individual as a better citi
zen, giving him the ability to use it,
making him competent for leadership,
equiping him with capacity not only
to enjoy life but to make life helpful
and enjoyable for others.
If our schools and colleges can't
do that, they are not meeting the
need of the hour.
There is undoubtedly much truth
in what the World-Herald says. We
agree that today there are hundreds
of students who enter college for the
social atmosphere and who regard
their school work as merely the price
they must pay to remain in the col
legiate social whirl. Like the World
Herald, we are at loss for a remedy.
