Intellectual Iockstep in the Colleges.

Men decry college education, crack
jokes about it, and-send their sons tc
college, says Prof. CALVIN THOMAS in
the Columbia University Quarterly, wri-
ting of The New Program of Studies at
Columbia College, The title, il is to be
noticed, restricts the discussion to the
college as distinguished from the pro-
fessional schools Of the university
The colleges and universities of this
country, even in these days of CONNER
calism," assemble within their campus
gates a larger proportion of the young
manhood Of America than ever before.
The problems that confront the modern
university administrator are correspond
ingly increasing in seriousness. They are
twofold in nature: The financial, ari-
sing from the fact that the student is a
ward of society, whose payments to the
college are wholly inadequate as q return
for the expense of his education, with the
consequent need Of large endowment;
and the pedagogic. incidental to the
difficulty Of instructing at once SO many
men Of many minds. 1t is Col,lmbia's
attempt at solving the latter phase of
the problem that Prof. CALVIN discusses.
Characteristic of the colleges are their
various methods of solution. Thus, as
Harvard is distinguished for her all-the-
way-through elective system, and as
Princeton. by her conservatively pro-
gressive adoption of the tutorial system.
to be installed in active operation next
fall, is to-day the cynosure of pedagogic
eyes the country over. so Columbia : dis
tinctive hobby is the shortening Of the
college course in point OF time. Previous
endeavors in this direction having been
unsatisfactory in their result, a new and
more definitely organized attempt is to
be made, the scheme embracing these
main features:
To enable the midwinter graduates OF
New York city high schools, from which
Columbia freshman classes are largely
recruited, to enter the college imme-
diately, entrance examinations are to be
held in January. Such course would
be impossible in university like Prince
ton, where the classes are tho unit of
organizations but with system largely
elective it appears more feasible, and
should meet the peculiar needs of Column
bia. The half year instead of the year is
to be the unit of credit in counting work
toward the requirement for graduation,
and the degree Of Bachelor of Science is
to be given, a compromise between the
technical degrees and the pure academic
A. B.
The essence Of Columbias proposed
system is that. instead of running one
train through each year, the time table
will offer wider choice; instead of time
spent in residence, actual work done will
count; and superior scholarship and
application will win their reward in the
earlier opportunity for naturalization in
the p G. school OF life.
Differ the attempted solutions as they
will and must, Prof. THOMAS has invented
a significant and suggestive phrase. a
motto for liberal eduoatou, when hs

WET CLASS DAY AT vAssAR.
The Outdoor Exercises Cut Short by Q
Heavy RAin.

PoUaHKEEPsIE, N. Y, June ia torrent
Of rain fell at Vassar College this AFTER
noon just as the class day exercises began.
The seniors in their white gowns and friends
and relatives in summary attire beat hasty
retreat. The storm broke with such fury
and suddenness that before shelter could
be reached many were drenched.
The exercises were to have taken place
on stage in the rear of the college build
ing. After the interruption they were
resumed in the chapel. Fortunately the
daisy chain borne by the prettiest sopho-
mores came before the rain. Despite the
drenched lawns the tree exercises were
carried out.

A Plan to Ostracizc the Divorced

We have received the prospectus of
manual" soon to be issued by an asso
citation of Roman Catholic women know
as the Daughters of the Faith" Thi
organization is made up of -Catholi
women, more particularly those of sta
ton and influence, and its purpose is TIT
publication Of social morals, more espe
| cially the morals of the social circle which
yields or assumes to WELD the scepter o
fashion, as these are affected by divorc,
from matrimony
When these Daughters first banded
themselves together in New York doub
of the wisdom of their scheme, which
was substantially the social ostracism OF
the divorced, was expressed bv both
clergy and laity Of the Roman Catholic
Church; but now that msgiving is
silenced by the formal expression by
the Pope of appreciation of the society $
plan. In his Brief of Appreciation the
Pope even goes so far as to suggest CO.
operation by the women Of Christendom
generally in pursuing the methods of
their New York sisters. 1t is expected
accordingly that women of special social
influence in every capital of Europe will
lend their aid to frown down divorce
On the theory that because of federation
Of divorce society is on the verge of
moral ruin this manual contends that
the time has come when nothing but the
religious and social recognition of the
true horror of this crime can arrest the
evil that with cyclonic force has in a
comparatively short time overthrow
domestic peace and uprooted the safe
guards of purity and honor" That is
rather sweeping statement, but the
Daughters are very much in earnest.
On the ground that if they do not take
drastic measures against the "crime"
they become moral participants not
alone in the sin, but also in the evils that
follow they lay down these invariable
rules:
i" The Catholic divorces. who rcmarries must be
socially oStracE,d.
Such Protestant unions as are purely ndul,crous
should be treated the same as the Catholic Of.
vorcec and subject to the same rule"
That is, they propose to put divorce
under the ban of social condemnation.
so far as their influence extends, and at
this time in the fashionable society of
New York that influence is unquestion-
ably large and great.
Here are specific admonitions for "tbe
Catholic woman as concerning the re-
married divorced.
She would run the risk Of serious dlsedlncaton
did she without necessity attend entertainments
at their houses or welcome them publicly 10 her
own. and as far as possible she should discourage
their acquaintance even at the sacrifice OF personal
friendship, Her good sense would warn her to
politely decline an Invitation when. divorce. ,s IN
be guest OF honor. But II she should nnd her
self thrown into such company at a social enter

10 the fact.
She should, In general, treat the divorcee whom

Christian. but as stranger whose relationships

AN EXPLANATION.

Col. r. NJ. Johnston Of the Hous'
ton Post is said to be a warm sup
porter of Colquitt for governor
There is something wrong with
that proposition or with Colquitt
one or the other.
The foregoing paragraph APP
peared in the Eagle a few days
since. Our attention has been
called to the fact that it seems ia
be a personal reflection upon Col
r. NJ. Johnston. The something
wrong" referred to political, OF
rather factional alignment, and
was not intended to convey the
impression that there is anything
wrong about Col. Johnston as a
man.
The full meaning Of the para.
graph, or what it was intended to
mean, is this: Mr.. Colquitt Is
making campaign for governor
along the lines of agitation before
the farmers that the railroads
charge too much for hauling cotton
to the seaboard; that they should
do more for the truck and fruit
growers than they are doing; and
that, in general, he (Colquitt)
would like to apply the screws
much more vigorously to the rail-
roads than the commission is now
doing, and would do so if he could
get his two associates to line up
with his views.
Now for such a strenuous rail-
road regulator to receive warm sup.
port from Col. r. NJ. Johnston
seems little peculiar. Mr.. Johns
