IMPRESSION OF AMERICAN UNI
vERSITIES.
M. Rene Doumic, the noted French
critic, who lectured at Osborn hall on
Monday night, when asked as to his
impression of American college life as
seen at Yale and Harvard, said:
sThis is all new to me and interests
me exceedingly in that there is nothing
analogous to it in France. Our concep-
ton Of a university is entirely differ
ent and I am continually met by things
which are surprising to me. I am per-
1laps chiefly struck with the common
life of the students in the American
university-the great community. With
us The SIuuGIlIS live Ill IWOo VI LII SSs'
by themselves or with their families.
The same is noticeable in the relations
between the professors and the stu
dents Here many of the faculty live
in college buildings and their pupils
have but to knock on their doors to
see them and converse on common top
les. A student in France comes to a
professor for information, to ask a
question. And then the rooms-with
us the students aim is disorder, stud
led, complete. Bohemian. Here you
have a mans individuality expressed
in his surroundings. All is orderly;
books and pictures. 1t is the room of
a gentleman at home. I have seen the
same thing at Harvard as at Yale. The
rooms are always arranged. The bric-
a-brac is not strewn around.
"And more still-your social life.
Here YOU have clubs for everything.
You have eating clubs and social clubs
and clubs for literature and for study.
Again, in France isolation prevails.
Students work and play and amuse
themselves alone or two or three to-
gether, or with their families.
your trees, too; your groups of
N@N~s
In France the universities, the schools,
the great Lycees, are in the large cit
les where there are none of these great
trees.
81 am amazed at the universal devo-
ton to athletics and the honorable
place they occupy. Here the athlete
represents his college. With us he is
an individual who is physically strong
and nothing more. He does not gain
respect by being strong. He has great
muscles and people know he has them.
But beyond that Your athletes help
Won defeat other colleges. They are
something to you. But then, all this
is a point of view. am not prepared
