THE NEW UNIVERSITY.
Being Free From Tradition 1t Il Un-
trammeIed In Its Methods.

Being Free From Tradit ON 1t Il Un-
trammeIed In Its Methods.
The new university can CIT itself
loose from the time worn English COL
lege curriculum and its much patched
American equivalent with its system
OF favored studies and false incentives
1t can give to each line of work the
time and freedom it needs thus leav-
ing all questions OF the relative value
of studies to be settled by each student
for himself. The new school can
treat its students as men. and not as
children. . The nursery should
cease where the university begins, and
the university student sholld not do
his work in the child's fear OF the
rod behind the mirror. The new
school can rest its impulse for work
on the desire for knowledge. the eter-
nal hunger and thirst which only the
student knows. the only basis on
which scholarship can rest. Marks.
honors. prizes. tddgrees even. are in
centives which belong TO the nursery
days. They date from the time when
the youth of the aristOeracy must be
cOaXed or driven TO a resemblance of
culture. As | have elsewhere urged.
all these things are forms. and forms
only. and the substance Of our higher
education is fast outgrowing them.
College marks college hOnOrs. college
courses. college degrees, the college
itself as distinguished from the univer-
sity on the ore hand and the public
school on the Other-all these belong
with the college cap and gown, and
the wreath of laurel berries to the
babyhOOd OF culture. They are part
of our inheritance from the past, from
the time when scholarship was not
manhood. when the life of the student
had no relation to the life Of the world.

culars are out. The first is from Ig-
natius Donnelly, president OF the Min
nesota Alliance. who urges the farm
ers 10 hold their wheat for thirty days
longer. In it he says: i think
every intelligent man in Minnesota
knows that wheat is selling far below
its actual value. but the Alliance. as
an organization has not taken the re-
sponsibility Of giving any advice upon
the subject believing it to be outside
OF their function to do so and haz-
ardous experiment 20 make in any
official way. But it is very clear that
If not 4 bushel of wheat is sold in
Minnesota by the farmers during the
next thirty days that the wheat pits
of Chicago. New York and London
would be full of dead bears and farm
ers would get for their wheat what it
is really worth. Sell potatoes. barley,
rye or anything else. Stand off your
creditors for time, keep on plugging,
but don't sell any wheat for a month
and see what will be the result. do
not say that your wheat will 90 to
$50 or - bushel nor do | ask you
TO hold Your crop until next spring.
nor do speak in behalf Of the State
Farmers Alliance, bat in my indi-
vidual capacity 1 express my belief
that the farmers are being robbed Of
one-fourth the value OF their product;
that they should stop all sales of
wheat for time and let it out slowly.
