Mcdowell and Idealism.
President Schurman, of Cornell, Has
His Say on the Subject.

President Sehurman has brought
his great guns to bear on the subject
of idealism in our colleges, as dis
cussed by the composer. Edward Mae
Dowell. He says, in answer TO NJ.
MaeDowell's charge that materialsm
Is rampant IN our colleges; that it is a
mistake to suppose that only the study
OF the fine arts can be undertaken ii
the spirit of idealsm: that other
branches of knowledge have been pur-
sued by men who were as truly ideal
ISIS as musicians, painters, and poets.
This Is one of those eases in which
men argue in the air. on different
planes, and do not meet each others
view ar all. The substance of Mr..
MeeDowelPs argument was that the
average college boy, instead Of coming
cut of college a cultivated man. comes
ont of it with tastes still Uniformed.
and mind still blank so far as art is
concerned: and in the case of some
colleges, this is certainly true. He did
not contend that any sort of training
wcHld make a great artist, but he did
express the opinion that college men
should know enough Of the history of
the arts, and the great examples OF
artistic work in music, painting. arch
iteeture, and poetry, to form their
tastes. If young man graduates
from college at twenty-five or three.
and his ideal of music Is a vaudeville
song, his ideal of architecture certain
examples of American building which
make the foreign artist shudder, and
his ideal of art the magazine illustra-
lions of Howard Chandler Chrisiy. he
i either uDtarght or unteachable, and
III the majority of cases the former Is
true.
The materialisn1 10 which Mr.. Mac
Dowell objected was not the kind
which IS embodied in the men who
have made great systems of thought,
or left their imprint on a whole gen
Grafton of their fellowmen in one way
or another What be meant by ma

couraged by some people who ought

Money is the mark of worth. The
nan who can make money out of his
work IS the great artist" The com
poser arguedrwith perfect justice that
II we are ever to have any art in this
country above the commonest and
most meretrieious products Of half
n aimed minds, we must create a class
of men who know what art is. Col
lege men, as a rule, will have money

enee TO use; and if they do not use
their money and influence in favor of
beauty, who will?
