sity will confer the Bachelor of Arts de-
gree in IA three years course.
Two meanings may be attributed.
One that the proficiency of the pre-
paratory schools has become such that
she shortening of the college course by
one year will not represent loss to
efficient education. The other that one
fourth of the instruction formerly re-
quired of a candidate for graduation
has. for one reason or another, ceased
to be essential and may be subtracted
without sacrifice of efficiency.
Much can be said in favor of both of
these propositions; also in favor Of the
kindred proposition that the facilities
apart from school work for acquiring
knowledge and culture are so much
in earlier times that three years at col
lcge will give to the student with in
herent quality as much training as
four years used to give.
AS a matter OF fact, three years of
life In any field of activity are nova
tunity for achievement as four years
were when the four-year college course
was adopted. To say that we live In a
high vitalized atmosphere but family
expresses truth which In some degree
impresses itself upon the dumbest con-
sciousnesss The measure and variety
of the worlds duty and requirement in
these times of electric energy cali for
economy not alone in the arithmetic of
business. but vastly more so in the fit
ting of the individual to the part which
he is to play. The gospel of the strenu-
Gus life has become the keynote OF the
age.
Resides, the College of today is not

has come of actual usefulness when

and who. If they would keep up with
the competitive procession, dare not
waste a minutes time in getting

This change in the colleges attitude
toward the world is hopeful augury
for the future OF our American democ-
racy. 1t Is going to bring the aristoc-
racy and the democracy closer together,
at the very period in our national de-
velopment when differences in accumu-
lated wealth have been threa tenng to
drive them further apart. Our public
schools have been great Jewelers. and
now our colleges are to re enforce them.
With the benefits of a college training
within the reach of every young man
of average energy, there will cease to
be formidable danger of an upgrowth
of caste in this country. Those who
seek to build up class distinctions on a
basis of money merely will continue to
amuse more than they will menace.

EkN IL ES III memory Of Will
lam Mckinley will be held to-
morrow in churches through
, out the land. The year that
has elapsed since this great and good
mans death has tempered the poig-
nancy of public grief, but it has in
tensifed the respect in which his name
is held. His fame Is bearing the test
of time.
:. No longer is he looked upon as mere
ly party leader or as the exponent of
policies regarding which public opinion
sharply divides 1t is growing more ap-
parent every day that as party leader
he was a great leader-patient, self
controlled, tactful, successful-and that
as the exponent of the policies of gov
eminent advocated by his party he was
statesmanlike and far-seeing. But it is
also becoming increasingly evident, as
distance adds truer perspective. that his
whole character, both as an individual
citizen and as Il public servant, was eX-
ceptionally beautiful and wel-rounded.
presenting to view those characteristics
which. when combined in one man, add
a legacy to history.
His career is an inspira ton. 1t ex-
empities that the possibilities of Ameri-
can character and achievement are not
being contracted by the changing con-
lditiOns Of modern life. Furthermore. it
teaches that recognition of merit is
swifter today than ever before. Years
had to elapse before Washington and
Lincoln came intOs universal apprecia-
ton: but there is no part of civilization
which does not already know McKin-
.ley's worth. He was not an accident
but growth. and the lines of that
growth were honest lines and it's foun-
datiOn was character.
