HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Thursday morning Prof. John Fl. Hud-
dilston of the University of Maine spoke to
the school for short time after recess on
State universities in general and the U. of NJ.
in particular He said that the aim of such
institutions was to instruct all people in
any subject they wished. The day when
State colleges gave their whole attention to
agricultural and mechanical arts is past,
and the U. of NJ. has added fine classical
and literary course. He mentioned few
advantages of State university course,
such as the better opportunity to choose
ones life work in that broader field and the
meeting of many students pursuing differ
ent courses. Classical students find it ad-
vantageOus because the comparatively
for the student to meet the heads of depart
ments in the classroom instead of instruct
Ors, as in most institutions. Prof Hud-
dilSton said that education came from peO-
ple-frOm teachers, from the men behind
the text books, and from fellow students
and in the broad field of State university
life the chances for larger culture are much

Huddilston then spoke of the personal side
of going to college, saying that the determ-
ination to "get there" was more essential to
the prospective student than money. He
spoke very interestingly of the advantages
he Overcame and of successes resulting from
determination. In conclusion he urged
that serious thought be given to the advant-
ages of college education. Six weeks in a
business college, he said, was not character
making, and no matter whether the life
work is to be trade or profession, char
acter is needed. He kindly offered to talk
to those contemplating college course,
and quite number took advantage of the
opportunity. Prof. Huddilston has B. A.
degree from Baldwin University and Har
ward and Phi D. from the University of
Munich. He has been professor of Greek
at OrOno since 1899.
