Moral Influences at Missouri
State University.

A University, although 1t Is a
place in which much freedom of
thought il exercised, is not such a
terrible place as some arc occa-
sionally inclined to think. Free
dom of thought and action does
not necessarily lead to dissolute-
ness and i%nhdelity, but rather to
tho opposite, a. statistics show.
For example, here are n few OBJ
servations made upon our own
State University al olumbia:
To begin with, nor than 30 per
cent OF the students 10 attendance
during the school year of 1900
1901 were members of churches.
The course uf study is such as
to require the exercise OF every
power OF the student In order that
he may accomplish 1t satisfactor-
lily. The test L. 40 severe that no
student who does not discipline
himself rigidly has any chance for
honors or even Of good standing.
So only the students who lead
upright and honorable lives can
win in the struggle. It does not
take a bright young person long
to see this.
The sentiment throughout the
institution Il that the dishonor-
able student IL not worthy of the
respect of loyal students. In the
department OF athletics they soon
see that the men OF clean and
pure lives, the fellows who disci-
pline themselves rigidly are the
ones who excel.
Chapel exercises are conducted
daily by some member Of the fac
ulty, and to these any student who
wishes may 20. The Y. NJ. G. A.
