One day of the session of the civic phil
anthropic congress held last week at Bat
tie Creek, Mich, was devoted to the sub
ject of university settlements. a paper
being read by Prof. Henry Wade Rogers
OF Evanston, H., Northwestern Univer-
sity.
"The exclusiveness of universities has
brought them into disrepute with the COM
mon people," he said. ''If they had been
ln times past more in touch with the peo-
pie they would have been more of a sue
cess. The companionshp of books is
good, but the companionship of men must
also be considered. The scholar should
go among the people and bring the un-

thyself."

lowed, in which emphasis was given to
the central idea that the strength of set
