exercise at Colby today, President Small
said: The reports in papers eriticising the
management of the Maine State College are
very misleading. l have ascertained the
facts of the case. The students of the
Maine State College are fifty years behind
modern progress and civilization. For the
past twenty years President Fernald's eff
forts to bring the college from nothingness
to somethingness have been heroic. 1t Is true
there is different attitude among Bowdoin
and Colby students now than ever BEFORE
They have more self-respect; they govern
themselves and escape the humiliation of be-
ing governed. Tney are too proud to be sub
jected to external rule. Bowdoin and Colby
are rivals. hope they will continue to pre-
woke each other by the Quality of their good
work. Faculty and students alike feel that
the spur Of rivalry is healthy. To check the
indifferentism which pervades municipal,
state and national politics the young genera
tiOn will have to look to college men. The
collegian's sphere of influence will be
broad one, whether for good or bad,
