Recently the president of Iowa
State college deplored in en Ames,
la., graduation address, the "much
shallow thinking to be found
among the graduates." "Although
thousands of graduates are men
and women of whom their colleges
may be justly proud," he said,
"there are still great numbers
upon whom education seems to
have left no deep mark."
, In the speech, not entirely origi
nal as to subject matter, this
speaker announced that he would
change the meaning of "activity"
In college life and would make the
conscious training of the intellect
the primary "activity."
That such a change is necessary
if this university as well as others
of its kind thruout the land are
to be universities in the true sense
of the word; has long been real
ized. Lord Bacon long ago recog
nized the sterility of the human
mind with regard to independent
thinking and individual experi
mentation. He writes:
"It is a fatal mistake to sup
pose that the sciences have grad
ually arrived at a state of perfec
tion, and then been recorded by
some one writer or other; and that
as nothing better can afterward
be invented, men need but culti
vate and set off what is thus dis
covered and completed; -whereas,
in reality, this registering of the
sciences proceeds only from the
assurance of a few and the sloth
and ignorance of many."
If this was true in the middle
of the sixteenth century, it is cer
tainly more true today. Since that
time there have been many ad
vances, to be sure. Men have used
their minds and have made prog
ress. But must they not still
speak of the "subtility" of nature
the concealment of truth, the ob
scurity of things, the entangle
ment of causes, and the imperfec
tions of human understanding?"
Perhaps it may seem futile to
urge the collegiates of today to
work toward finding answers to
questions that puzzled the author
of the "Instauratio Magna" so
many years ago. Perhaps even
those who agree with Lord Bacon
that "the knowledge delivered
down to us is barren in effects,
fruitful in questions, slow and lan

guid in improvement, exhibiting in
its generalities the counterfeits of
perfection, but meager in its de
tails and popular in its aim" can
not see the use in trying to change
the situation. Can it be possible
that this may account for the
"shallow thinking" that the college
president speaks about?
There is, of course, such a possi
bility, but it is more than likely
that the real reason is not so much
a sense of futility as a feeling of
lethargy, a belief that when one
has learned in general something
about the knowledge that has al
ready been collected he has become
educated and that there is nothing
more to do. As Bacon said in the
past, so it is true today, this can
never "open the way of truth."

per 3'ear. However, it was the
national pride that was empha
sized as the deep underlying force.
The Japanese exclusion act, the
lecturer indicated, "was, in their
eyes, a deadly insult because it put
Japanese on the same level with
Chinese and branded them ss
'Asiatics'."
From economic and social points
of view, he said, the act might
have been justified; yet the more
important point of view, the psy
chological one. was overlooked by
the Americans.
On Wednesday morning, Dr.
MacNair lectured on "The Russian
Angle." All three lectures were
well attended by students and
faculty members. Both Dr. Mac
Nair and his wife, Dr. Ayscough,
are considered among the foremost
authorities on the far east. Both
have traveled and written exten
sively and are members of many
organizations and societies both
here and in foreign countries. Mrs.
MacNair's address Thursday morn
ing is considered one of the high
lights of the series of addresses
being sponsored by the university
this year.
