President HadIey of Yale
There Is no doubt that the democratic
shirt in our colleges is subject 10 more
dangers today than it was ntty years
ago. The old graduate Is right ID tninA-
ing that it is easier to keep up the
democratic spirit where everybody IL
doing the same thing and where no
body has much money.
But the old graduate Is wrong III
thinking that we can legislate OUT
selves back to this condition when the
world outside has passed beyond IL
or that men trained in such a college
nc he remembers would be able, arter
they graduated, to meet the demands
and the temptations Of the present age
I,ycurgus made Sparta into an old 1ash-
ioned college with no electives and no
money.
How miserably the Spartans failed
when they were called upon to 90 any
thing which made for human progress
is a matter of history. Our college
graduates are going out into world o.
political life more complex than any
thing with which the Lacedaemonian'
had to deal. 1t Is only by training
them for the enjoyment Of freedom
and the use of wealth In their scnoo
DAYS that we shall enable them to oea
with the greater problems when Iree
dom and wealth are creating through
out the country.
1t is one Of the most hopeful signs
the undergraduate life Of the presen
day that the students, and particular
the weather students, are preparin
themselves with open eyes for the a.
sumption Of political responsibility.
The studies and efforts Of our unde
graduates in our college clubs WI
