leges, the square young man who does not like to read,
but matriculates in the "campus-alumni" tradition to
broaden his acquaintanceships, enliven his dinner table
conversation, and acquire some appreciation of the
arts, finds himself in an alarmingly round hole. He does
not need four years to accomplish his purpose, and with
their passage comes a feeling of futility, of irrespon
sible adolescence too long prolonged. Destined eventu
ally for business, he sees the time of his apprentice
ship, the time when he can earn enough to marry,
pushed too far ahead by years of practical inaction.
For him the junior college of Professor Mather is de
signed. And such a course need not be trivial or supjrficial.
Professor Mather believes that with the student's pur
pose definitely known and concentration excluded, the
curriculum could comprise an organized plan of survey,
courses that would merit, in accordance with the Euro
pean custom, a baccalaureate degree. And the high
standards of such segregation would allow in the
scholarship, free from extra-curricular activity, in the
senior college would justify the granting of a degree
of Master of Arts to its graduate. The baccalaureate

this is the less desirable feature of the plan.
But if such a junior course could be operated in
conjunction with the maturer work of four years in
the colleges instead of as a link in it, the plan seems
a happy provision for the gentlemen who are not schol
ars but desire to be collegians. The present progressive,
standard-raising movements are fast accepting the prin
ciples which Professor Mather propounds for his senior
college; yet they leave no place for the men in ques-
WASTED OPPORTUNITIES
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Jr. will talk on "Citi
zenship" in an address to university students in Grant
Memorial hall at 11 o'clock this morning. All classes
iluring that hour have been officially excused for the
event.
tv r.w stnrlpnts consider such a dismissal ot
classes as merely an unexpected opportunity to revel tion, and their right to a humanistic education. The
in an hour of leisure or to complete some odd bit of experimental endowment of such a two year course in
work rather than the one purpose of allowing students some one of the larger universities would be an inter-
the privilege of listening to an authoritive discussion esting step toward the solution of this rather important
on a pertinent subject. This attitude has become so problem.
firmly fixed in some that they give no thought as to The Harvard Crimson,
how important the speaker or his subject may be.
An exceptional opportunity has been granted to
students in the dismissal of classes this morning. For
the University has secured a man who not only has an
appropriate subject but who also has an interesting
personality and a field of knowledge along political
lines that began as early as boyhood associations with
his father.
Whether or not these students will realize the op
portunity that is being granted to them is an open
question.
M EIKLE JOHN'S EXPERIMENT
Recent Tcports from the experimental college in
troduced this year at the University of Wisconsin under
the direction of Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn state that
the men are progressing very satisfactorily in their in
dependent research which has been principally devoted
to Greek civilization.
This information is greeted with satisfaction by
many who believe that Meiklejohn's experiment will
solve the principal problems confronting the modern
university. These problems include overcrowded condi
tions, the question of requirements, and the student
automobile. .
Other educators have attempted to solve these
problems independently by reducing student liberty,
and diversion in the hope that they will finally be turned
into the path of a university education.
But Meiklejohn is striking at the heart of the
situationthe Trillingncss of youth to seek an educa
tion. Under his theory students who do not have this
incentive would naturally drop from the university.
And the problems of other diversions causing distrac
tion from studies would disappear.
Whether or not the experimental college will suc
ceed is as yet an unsolved problem. But at least it is
an important step in the right direction.
Another change in collegiate training has been
suggested by Professor Mather of Princeton in a re
cent article in The Educational Review in which he ad
vocates the division of the college curriculum into two
parts. Under his plan the freshman and sophomore
years would form a junior college and would terminate
in the regular baccalaureate degree, and the junior
and senior years would lead to the Master's degree.
The plan, which has been reviewed in detail by
the Harvard Crimson, is reprinted in "In Other Columns".
The Book "Revue"
Ballyhoo (The Voice of the Press) By Silas Bent,
Boni and Liveright, New York, $3.
"Look with a credulous eye only on accounts of
murder, forgery and fire," is Si'as Bent's advice to the
intelligent newspaper reader. The screaming headline,
the "sob-story", the "human interest" story, politics,
in fact almost everything that eventually turns up in
the pages of your favorite newspaper finds a place in
Mr. Bent's searching inquiry into American Journalism.
Though the book is hardly off the press, journal
ism, while privately admitting its mistakes which Mr.
Ment makes so plain, publicly is branding the work as
the effort of a disappointed newswriter. The author is
more than that; for he has worked for most of the
principle papers and news syndicates of the country
and in his capacity either as a reporter or editor, he
has had a chance to study our daily newspapers over a
period of twenty years. The book treats of journalism
in every respect and as the reader goes from cover to
cover, he stops and conjures up his impression of cer
tain news events which he remembers were splashed
across the front pages of his hometown paper, and then
compares them with the "inside" story back of them
that Mr. Bent gives.
The author attacks the Lindbergh hysteria from a
psychological point of view and we see a young man
who has made a notable flight snatched up by our gov
ernment and identified with militarism and prepared
ness, while the newspapers seemingly cooperate with
it in the exploitation. The reader of this book will think
twice and sometimes three times before he believes
some of the so-called "news" which he sees in print.
Whether one reads the paper for only the weather re
port or pursues it from back to front page, he will find
something of absorbing interest and with authenticity
behind it in this book.

REDUCING THE OVERHEAD
"The college curriculum should be divided into two
parts. The freshman and sophomore years should form
a junior college and lead to the regular baccalaureate
degree, and the senior college, composed of the junior
and senior years, should lead to a Master's degree."
Thus Professor Mather of Princeton in an article in
The Educational Review states his proposition for a
more efficient recasting of a university education. "The
curriculum of the junior college is prescribed, com-
The Aristocratic Mia Brewster. By Joseph C. Lin
coln. D. Appleton & Co., New York, 1927. $2.
As a novel Mr. Lincoln's recent book is rather a
disappointment. It is well enough done, but almost to
the extent of being overdone, for the story has a ten
dency to lag. The atmosphere of the plot is go pronoun
ced that the reader from the beginning gains a fairly
accurate impression of the ultimate outcome of it, while
at the same time the characters are portrayed so sharply
that they become almost automatons, and lose' the charm
of individuality. The net result is that the reader, in
addition to knowing what the story is going to be,
knows also as soon as the character is introduced, what
he or she is going to do in every situation.
The circumstances and their development are thor
oughly simple. Mary Brewster is the last dependent of
an aristocratic family, her ancestors having created
such a place for themselves in their little Cape Cod
community that her heaviest responsibility is to live up

"The senior college has no fixed program that can
