4 MAKER OF BRAINS.

The winning OF the inter-college
debate by representative Of the state
university means for that institution
and the state atsaarges than the mere
qualification OF boyish ambition or To-
cal pride. 1t should serve to impress
in indelible terms upon the minds of
the people of this state the high char
acter Of the work being done by the
state university. 1t should give the
general public comprehensive grasp
of the standard which is maintained
in the institution, as we'll as the char
acter of men it is sending out into the
world.
1t is unfortunately true that among
the laymen who are not in direct touch
with the workings of our universities,
not only in this, but in other states,
an idea has developed that these in
situations are educating young men
and women in the theories and isms of
the past. rather than in the living
truths and necessary accomplishments
of the present age. These people have
furthermore gotten the idea that we
are putting too many men into the
professions-the law, the medicine and
similar things-thereby overcrowding
these, while the counting room and the
farm and the factory are neglected.
That these theories are based on false
premises, does not serve to lessen the
public belief in them. They may fur
thermore be augmented, or at least in
tensified by the misconception which
too many of the young men who 20 out
from these institutions attempt to give
the public. Many of them attempt to
convince the public that the fact that
they have attended some such institu-
lions is pass mark of Importance and
ability. and overlook the primary es-
sential that it requires merit and
ability aside from college training to
become leaders of men and moulders
Of opinion.
But the success of the, young men
who have been entrusted with the de-
Tense of the university's banner in the
conflict with the other colleges of the

state. as we'll as those of other states,
proves that the making Of broad
scholars, deep thinkers, accurate rea-
soners and able debates-the things
which go to make the intellectual
standard and ability of SCHOLARSHIPS
been thoroughly done by this stat.
university.
In the contest with the university of
Montana, the victory was one which
deserved the highest praise from the
people Of the state, for the defeated
opponent was foeman worthy of any
mans steel. In the North Dakota in
ter-collegiate contest in this city last
Friday, the best material that could be
found in the several contesting uni
versities was selected, and from this
splendid array of talent the university
carried the victory.
These contests could not be won on
monetary preparation, or in fact from
any special preparation for the contest
alone The things which win are the
foundations laid broad and deep in the
development of the scholar and the
education of the student when no
thought is had OF such conflicts. 1t is
the general education of the contestant
which wins. The special preparation
is a mere polishing up for the occas-
sion. 1t is this foundation and super
structure work; done when there is
nothing in view except the making of
the scholar, that proves the value of
the university as a maker of intel
lectual men and women.
1t is true that in this age education
has to some extent taken on the popu-
lar idea Of being a bread and butter
winner, and the institution which can
send its pupils out into the world
ready to become a wage Garner, is re-
garded as the most successful. But
even while there is some merit in such
contention, it should not be for
gotten that the world needs men of
profound ability, of broad and liberal
culture, and, that these are not the
products of the schools which place
expediency above ability. The univer-
sity will never be one of such schools,
because it contemplates too we'll
grounded intellectual development for
that purpose, but it will always be able
to give the world men and women
fully equipped for the highest demands
of an exacting public and masters of
the problems of humanity. 1t has
fully demonstrated this fact by the
success which has come to its repre-
sentatives in conflicts with those OF
other institutions.
