WHY REQUIRE TIE DEGBrr,

The deans of various schools of Columbia Uni
versity are supporting the proposal of the presi-
dent Of that institution that the baccalaureate
degree shall practically be conferred at the end
of the sophomore year, at least in the case Of
those who are going on 70 the professional
schools. Various arguments are put forward
in justification OF the scheme none OF which
seem 10 us convincing; but more and more
there rises into paramount prominence the one
argument which seems TO us least convincing
of all, and least worthy of the true scholar.
II is in brief-and it comprises about nine
tenths of the expressed motives and reasons for
the proposed change-that the professional
schools of Columbia are about TO make the
baccalaureate degree a prerequisite TO matricu-
lation. and therefore that degree must be made
more easily more quickly Obtainable
That. we have already shown. is much like
requiring an entrance fee of 500. but adding
that it may be paid in deprecated coin worth
only 30 cents on the dollar II is a sort Of
Bryanizing OF the standard OF scholarship II
at once depreciates the real value of the baeca-
laureate degree and fictitiously initiates the
standard OF the professional school. II seeks
10 give the professional school the prestige of
accepting none but bachelors as students. yet
AT the same time it cheapens bachelorhood by
making IL obtainable in two instead OF four
years; and when that fact is taken into account
what becomes OF the Wanted high require
ments of the professional school?
The question may well be raised why the
haccalaureate degree should be required for en-
trance 10 the professional schools. In the case
OF graduate seminary in which students are
WORKING for such degrees A. NJ. and Phi. D.,
me propriety of such requirement is obvious
but why should it be necessary for a man TO be
one KIND OF a bachelor before he is eligible 10
become another kind Of bachelor? Why must
ne become an A. b. before he can begin study
ing 10 become an Ii. b.: II Il were intended
tius 10 restrict the numbers entering law and
me0ical schools, and thus save the professions
