They Have Not Hurt Colleges, Says

| They Have Not Hurt Colleges, Says
President HadIey of Yale.
There is no doubt that the democratic
spirit in our colleges is subject to more
dangers today than it was fifty years
ago. The old graduate is right in think
! ing that it is easier to keep up the
| democratic spirit where everybody is
doing the same thing and where no
body has much money.
, But the old graduate is wrong in
thinking that we can legislate our
selves back to this condition when the
world outside has passed beyond it
or that men trained in such a college
as he remembers would be able, after
they graduated, to meet the demands
and the temptations of the present age.
Lycurgus made Sparta into an old fash
toned college with no electives and no
money.
How miserably the Spartans failed
when they were called upon to do any
thing which made for human progress
is matter of history. Our college
graduates are going out into a world of
pOllllSSll llIC SOlupISA luSlu any
thing with which the Lacedaemonians
had to deal. 1t Is only by training
them for the enjoyment of freedom
and the use of wealth in their school
days that we shall enable them to deal
with the greater problems which free
dom and wealth are creating through
out the country.
1t is one of the most hopeful signs in
the undergraduate life of the present
day that the students, and particularly
the weather. students, are preparing
themselves with open eyes for the as
sumption of political responsibility.
The studies and efforts of our under
graduates in our college clubs will
probably not advance them very much
in the direction of getting office during
their earlier years of professional life.
But these studies and efforts will
help them and will help the country as
a whole toward the establishment of a
system under which the man with
money feels that he holds that money
In trust for the public and the man
who desires Office desires it primarily
for what he can put into it rather than

were already visible, descended. Lie

second passed, which seemed an hour.
The bomb had not exploded. He open

a sight of the glowing fuse of the bomb

for a moment. Perhaps it won't ex-

at that instant a red flame pierced
through the still closed lids, and with
terrible crash, something struck him
in the middle of the chest.
''He jumped up and began to run, but,

The first thermometer was made in
1921 by a Dutch physicist named Cor
nelius Van Drebbell and consisted Of
a tube filled with air, closed at its up
per end and dipping at its other ex.
tremity, which was open, in a bottle of
nitric acid diluted with water. AS the
temperature rose or fell the air in the
tube increased or grew less in volume
and consequently the liquid descended
or rose. This instrument is now known
as an air thermometer but as its meas
urements were based on no fixed prin-
clple it was of little use.
