Athletic President Roper and Secretary Evans de serve no little credit for their work in arous ing interest in the state oratorical contest. If a good sized delegation does not accompany our orator to Crete next Friday it will not bo their fault. Half rates on tho railroad have been secured. Nearly every debater, of the "invinoiblc nine" is taking, or has taken, work in the de partment of elocution. This does not merely show their appreciation of tho advantage of a proper training in the presentation af argu ment but tho result clearly shows tho value of tho work done in that department. Despite tho fact that tho weather last Sat urday afternoon was unfit for both player and spectator there was much in that short game to indicate a successful base ball season. Tho cranks who braved tho cold breeze showed in a no uncertain way their interest in and loy alty to tho team. The players, considering that tho day was cold and tho season is yet early, played bettor than tho most sanguine could expect. Tho condition of tho finances of the team is now all that could bo asked. Wo are certain to have a strong playing team. Tho success of the season is no longer in doubt. When President Schurman named as ono of tho two dangers to Amorican Universities, tho influence of wealth, either public or private, ho touched upon a subject at onco delicate and important. What tho Germans call tho "Lohr-Froihist" is dear to every truo Univer sity man and woman. The spirit of tho schol ar will have no restriction on thought, no limitation on discussion, no condition imposed on tho investigation and finding out of truth. To know tho truth is the aim of scholarship, tho purpose of all real study. And any re striction, whether it comes from tho private opinion of one man or the public opinion of ono commonwealth is detrimental in tho ex treme and not to bo palliated or excused. In tho strongest sense tho State University is a liberalizer of thought, a potent influence in dispelling error in ovory field. It takes mon of all beliefs and opinions, and corrects' and modifies only as they will bo corrected or modified; it forces no thing, requires no set opinion, allows tho strongest freedom and thus serves tho highest and best end of all learning tho finding out of tho truth.
