DR.. E. E. Slosson, formerly at the
head OF the department OF chemistry
and now on the editorial staf Of the
New York Independent. addressed the
students in assembly this morning. DR..
s .osson Is preparing q series Of arti-
cles upon the largest colleges 10 the
United States, and In, collecting ma
terial for these articles has just visited
Yale, Harvard, Columbia. Pennsyl-
vania. Michigan. Minnesota, Chicago.
Illinois, Leland Stanford, Johns Hop
kins and Princeton. The opinion Of
such a man cannot fail to be of value
to anyone and the university Is par
ticularly favored in having such q man
address its students. Dr. 6losson said
that all universities are much alike,
for there IL none. 80 small that an. Gag
err student cannot learn In 1t, and none
so large tina. an unwilling student
can be made to learn. The great ques-
ton now confronting the larger uni
versities is that the number of stu
dents is becoming SO grea. that many
Of the advantages Of -association are
being lost. He outlined various
schemes for remedinS this evil. all Of
which brought home 10 Wyoming's
students the advantages they are gain
ing by going to a small college. He
also said hat all universities are alike
in one thiTs,-each has the most beau
tiful campus in the United States and
the most perfect spirit of democracy
among the student body. This fact,
while amusing is very encouraging,
for while those connected with an in
stitution have this. idea, they will al.
ways strive to better their college.
and in this lies the. secret of success.
In closing. DR.. Slosson charged 1t up
on the students to know something OF
everything and everything OF some
thing; to specialize upon one subject
for thorough knowledge, and to study
something as far from that subject as
possible for mental development.
