Miscellaneous
And from our exchanges
i
From Associated Collegiate Press bulletins come the following news items
and quotations:
At Florida State College, Dr. Anna Forbes Liddell, head of the depart
ment of philosophy and religion, declares that an increase in registrations
for Bible courses reflects upsef world conditions. Looking for "basic values
to which they can hold," college students over the entire country have evi
denced an increased interest in Bible courses for the last year or more she
says.
And at the College of Our Lady of Good Counsel in White Plains, X. Y.f
a girls' school, increased interest in science courses has necessitated a 20 per
cent enlargement in laboratory facilities. The college attributes mounting in
terest in biology, chemistry, and physics to new opportunities in medical and
scientific work opened up for women by America's preparedness program.
And at Warrensburg, Missouri, Central State Teachers College officials
say that recent events in Europe increase, instead of lessen the need for fa
miliarity with the German language, as shown by an increase in enrollment
for German courses.
What the trends here at Nebraska are. we do not know as yet. The only
one we have noticed is the increase in the number of men who would like to
take advanced military drill.
rsihtr.nidn. neighbor colleciate paper booms Johnny Knolla for "All-
American" honors, citing praise heaped on the "nut-brown" Chicagoan by.
writers from coast to coast. Of interest is the desire to see the nation's lead
ing ground gainer play under Nebraska's Biff Jones in the East-West game
on New Year's day.
Minnesota announces institution of five new design courses to train men
for participation in the government's national defense program. Courses in
machine design, optical instrument design, engineering drawing, metallurgy
and metallography, and industrial engineering are now open to those en
thusiasts who would fit themselves into the technique of war-machine and
war-instrument making.
At the same time, protests from Gopher Union board members would
deny the Interfratcrnity Council a combined office-lounge in the new Union
building there.
And at Purdue, a new curriculum leading to the degree of bachelor of
science in aeronautical engineering is placed on the schedule. Only gradu
ates are allowed to enroll in the five-year course.
The Daily Lariat of Baylor runs a story of a campaign to finance the
purchase of an ambulance to be sent to England. $57.55 of the needed $1,350
was raised the first week and the campaign has another week to go. Waco
business men contributed $500 and will probably finish up the quota.
Indiana's Daily Students reports that state detectives and local police
swooped down on Bloomington r ' blishmcnts and corralled 30 crap-shoot-ers
and card sharks. The story fa 10 mention whether those arrested were
students or town folk.

For years the street corner rabble rousesrs have insulted the
colleges by calling them "hot-beds" where all sorts of subversive in
fluences thrive, but all those possessing good sense know mat ir ine
colleges are in any sense "hot-beds" they are "hot-beds" devoted to
quite a different purpose.
Just now there seems to be a tendency to criticise tne eaucauonai
that the "hot-beds" are growing un-American theories of political
institutions in connection with patriotic attitudes. Some are saying
economy and government.
It mav be that this situation has a direct connection with the
feeling upon the part of colleges and universities that the defense of
human rights must always be a sacred trust not only for individuals,
but for educational fnstitutions as well. We all know that in the
schools and colleges one of the dearest of all possessions is that which
we name by the words academic freedom. If necessary, take the
buildings, take the library, take the laboratories, take the football
team, take the faculty, but touch not academic freedom. Citizens
in a democracy speaking! The danger is that just aa open doors
invite entrance so does freedom provide the way for license. We
know, for example, that vicious minded persons have used the op
portunity to think and speak freely, to destroy the very opportunity
they make use of and that careless minded persons fail completely
to appreciate this blessing.
One very definite way for colleges to prepare for defense is to
protect this freedom by insisting that it be granted only to those
who respect and love truth and denied to those who would exploit
liberty in order to promulgate political theories which are contrary
to the very one which created the freedom.
For my part, I am glad we have "hot-beds" in which we may
plant and cultivate ideas and appreciations with a definite desire to
improve all areas and departments of experience. Out of such "hot
beds" come suggestions that we should not only speak of dedicating
a life to science, to business, to industry, to some an or to some
skill, but should also consider the wisdom of dedicating a life to it
self. The colleges and universities ask why we should not give pri
macy to the development within a person of a balanced coordination
of intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and aesthetic interests to the
enl that such a person may grow to his full physical, intellectual,
spiritual, and aesthetic stature.
Out of these "hot-beds" also comes the notion that perhaps an
other way to serve is to urge artistic and creative America to have
stronger faith in itseif. A program featuring the presentation of
honest statements concerning the superiority of American creation,
production, efficiency, and institutional achievement should call atten
tion to the advantages of a national program built upon the desire to
elevate standards of living.
Let us remember that while garden "hot-beds" may provide rich
soil and excellent growing condition for weeds, they also provide
the Mme trf-rfect conditions for useful tilants. The same is true for
"idea hot beds" and for the information of the uninformed, let us-j T "
say trial colleges ana universities are extremely diligent in canng ior
their own particular "hot beds."
Very truly,
RAYMOND E. MANCHESTER.
