THE IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY. "
Interesting Address by President I. G.
Schurman, of Cornell.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, Nov. 26.-The
eleventh annual convention of the Associa-
ton of Colleges and Preparatory Schools
of the middle States and Maryland opened
to-day at Vassar College. Four hundred
delegates are present, among them being
many prominent educators from different
colleges. Dr. I. G. Schurman, of Cornell,
tonight delivered an address on 1.-THE Idea
of a University President Schurman
spoke of the recent origin of the university
in comparison with the antiquity of culture
and civilization, and continued: 1.-THE old
est university in the world is Salorno,
which was only school of medicine, and
it carries us back TO the middle of the
eleventh century. Next came Bologna and
Paris which was founded towards the
close of the twelfth century. These two
are the types of all modern universities.
Bologna was a guild of students; it's inf1u-
ence is still discernible in the Scottish
universities ard in the provincial French
universities Paris was a guild of masters;
it dominated the English universities, which
were the ancestors of our own"
President Schurman then criticised at
considerable length the fundamental the
sis maintained by Cardinal Newman in
his discourse on the idea of a university.
Turning TO the fundamental characteristics
of the Institution he said: "A university is
a place of general resort for study. 1t mas
a plurality, Of teachers and generally more
been maintained by able men. Personality
is the source of it's power. The University
must maintain fruitful contact with reali-
ties. The nursery Of knowledge, it must
also be a training for practical life. The
Indispensable condition of the university
Is liberty" Here the speaker showed, by
illustration from Paris, Oxford and Amer
lea, how any restrictions of the liberty de-
feat the end, of the university, and con-
tinued: Freedom Of teaching. investiga-
tton and learning must be absolutely unre-
strictod.' Y1a
President Sehurman deprecated any at
tempt to sharply separate colleges and
universities, and held that there was scope
and room for both. AT any rate he said
mo university will give upo its academic
department, or what the Germans call the
philosophical faculty. and content itself
with being mere collection of professional
schools For the rest, the university must
aim to do what Mr.. Roshdell says in his
history, the medieval university, namely,
place the administration of human affairs,
in short, the government of the world, in
the hands of educated men,

FOOTBALL NOT BRUTAL
SUCH is THE VIEW OF PRESIDENT
JONES, OF HOBART COLLEGE.
He, However, Suggests Modification
to Avoid Little" suRl-
ties on Thanksgiving Day.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. 26-President
Jones, of Hobart College, who witnessed the
football game yesterday between his coll
lege and the University of Buffalo fresh
men, said in the course of an interview:
Il like football and enjoy seeing a game.
Brutal? Not bit of it. OF course, players
do get hurt in 1t. but that is true of other
sports. But serious accidents are rare in
football as compared with other games of
like nature; yet because they do happen l
want TO see the game modited-moditied
only, not abolished. There are many ways
in which this can be done without spelling
the game. / believe that there should be
fewer mass plays and more open playing in
a game Then too, l would like to see low
tackling abolished. The danger of football
is not of the big accidents that we always
hear of, but the little ones. The wrenched
knees, the strained shoulders, hurt ankles
and such things are the harmful results OF
the game, and all, or many, of these could
be eliminated by making a few changes In
the manner of playing. Again, there is too
much professionalism in the game as played
to-day. Understand, this is not a charge
against our opponents of yesterday. There
is altogether too much of getting men into
college because they can play good game.
1ney are lnQQc6u 10 come 10 d SSiletl wi
lege either by offers of money, tuition or
other things. They register as students and
play on the college team.
When asked his opinion about the anti
football legislation in Georgia, he gave 1t
in one short word-"Nonsense."
Yes" said the doctor, retectively, 1T
a great game, and l enjoy seeing II. For
merry, when l saw man get laid out In
a game, l used to feel sorry, but | was
well, / was rather anxious to have the game
started again. Now my first thought Is,
how can [ square his mother?"

OF twenty musicians. on the roof in the
autumn there will be athletic sports, such
as bicycle races and bicycle polo In the
winter roof skating rink will be provided
and in the summer vaudeville and comic
opera will be seen there. The underground
section of the building will be devoted to an
exhibition, a branch of the Musee Grevir,
OF Paris, ON a much more elaborate scale
than the Eden Musee.
THE capital stock of the company is $780,
geo. One-half of this will be disposed of in
shares of Sl00, and the subscribers, besides
their share of the profits, will be afforded I'M
usual privileges. | expect that the incor-

port the changes to the members of con-
ferences The committee is to make its re-

been called In and would arrest them If
they made such move. The audience be-
gan a rush for the doors, fearing serious
trouble, but the opera company quieted
fears by singing Aud Lang synen and
son.
Ar. Henderson, in an interview. after the
occurrence, declared that the difficulty re-
suited from his cancellation of the stock
coAnpanys engagement. He charged the
company with incompetency, and asserted
that Mr.. Thompson had secured the engage
ment by false representations. He said that
the strike was the result of an attempt of
Mr.. Thompson to stir up trouble in an eff
fort to secure control of the theater. Mr.
Hcnderson's statements were emphatically
denied by the opera people, who declared
that financial difficulty on the part Of the
theater management was at the bottom of
tho trouble
