The university address was deliver
of Wyoming last evening by Prof. E.. E.
Slosson, and although the audience
was not large, those present with one
accord pronounced it one of the best
ever heard in the city.
Prof. Slosson has a splendid voice,
good presence and a pleasing style OF
delivery, and was greeted at times with
hearty applause and at others with a
smile Of satisfied content that spoke
louder than words. He was introduced
by President Smiley, and at once be-
gan his address, holding his audience
to the last syllable. A synopsis of the
address. the subject of which was THE

sets us free: free from the bonds of
prejudice, narrowness, ignorance and
superstition.

no right to the claim OF having been
trained in the liberal arts but that they
are really graduates Of another institu-

members of all faculties who are draw

more teaching and exercising more in

while they are supposed to enlarge the

object of education is the removal OF

form of mental training whose real and
sometimes avowed aim is the cultiva,

One of the things which a course in

to set him free from traditionalism. He

cause he knows the origins of conven-

true that as a class educated men are
too conservative and often inclined to
lag behind in progressive and reform
movements in society, art or letters.
The irrational radical is of course
more dangerous than the irrational

existence and may have it yet though
it be not apparent while a proposed
novelty may have nothing in its favor.

many people nowadays. But educated
people as a class are more apt to err
on the side OF excessive conservatism.

weeks & to the University of Kansas,
Lawrence, by Prof. Slosson, who Is an
alumnus Of that institution. graduating
in 1890, before a large and enthusiast
tic audience of alumni students and
citizens of the state.
Prof. Slosson's treatment of the topic
aroused great interest among the in
structors in the different departments
there, because he distributed his hits
on educated narrowness and prejudice
in an impartial manner, so that few
people escaped entirely.
The Lawrence papers reported it as
the best address delivered at the Uni

the Alumni association voted to pub
