University Notes



spoke of why we are glad to be here,
mentioning, incidentally, u weakness.
Too many OF US lack intellectual en-
thusiasm. We are not hunsly enough
for an education. The university Is at
a disadvantage in being so young and
it Is necessary to make up in enthu-
slasm what is lacking in age. Students
come to the university for three rea
sons-hrst, to gain a knowledge OF a
few facts, to get a scientific and pro
fessional knowledge and skill, but it is
a blunder to suppose that he wishes
simply to learn the ideas and skill of
another, for, secondly, he wishes to
have his mind trained to think indie
p%endently. He needs to learn to meet
special conditions and to originate
methods of his own, and thus be a
leader in his profession. The third aim
of the student should be to gain cul-
ture, for only about half a persons life
has to deal with material things and

should know how to meet. At present
the technical education is doomed at
the expense of the cultural, which does
not turn itself so readily into money.
But both phases are needed and edu-
cation should not be too sharply diyid-
ed along technical and cultural lines.
Strong efforts have been made in ar
ranging courses to bring the two to-
gether, and fortunately here the two
widely differing classes of study move
side by side, and the students OF me
branch are benefited by contact with
those of the other line of work.
