usually attributed to interest in ath-
letic sports. is much more serious
matter. This may be due in some re-
spects TO the character OF the under
graduates OF the present time. Dur
ing the past 20 years colleges have
ceased being considered as train
ing schools for the professions. and
are now treated practically as a nee
essary stage i'm education, by every
one eligible for admission. This
change OF public opinion has resulted
In a corresponding change in the tyne
of undergraduates. aud instead of
the former student who showed his
chief enthusiasm in philosophical
discussion and debating contests. the
present normal undergraduate takes
more interest i'm matters foreign to
collegiate work. The increased
amount of social life. the interest
IN college fraternities. the support
OF musical clubs. and especially the
enthusiasm for athletics are all ev-
licences of the changes which have
been brought about by the new tyne
OIL undergraduate. All these interests
nave had serious effect on the real
results for which colleges were ORR
einally founded.
