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.
