In regard to Ills subject which was
'T'he Democratic Advance in Amer
lean Universities" Mr.. Draper said:
"An institution whose function is to
prove q thesis rather than to find the
truth is not university. An institu-
tisn set up to propagate spiritual
philosophy or a political theory, or a
scientific belief. or a cult of any kind,
is not a university. An institution linz
| tied by social exclusiveness, or reig-
| ious bigotry, or overheated partlzan-
ship of any kind, is not a university.
Unless an institution puts the truth
above theory, while it repcls the fan
| ciful and unsubstantal. unless it
| opens the door of opportunity to ALL
while it aids the Intellectual interests
of every part and applies scientific
principle and fact to the doings OF
every class and unless it seeks the
| light OF all knowledge, quickens all
! who may come within its own lights

decided that the present circumstances II IS
impossible TO accept the challenge sent by the
intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athetes OF
America for an international track and field meet

Great Britain, to follow the Olympic games IN Lon
don next summer
ever a proposal for meeting between teams from
Oxford and Cambridge and Harvard and Yale,
which it has been suggested, should be held in
London in July.
Among the reasons given for the inability of the
English clubs accept the American challenge
for a meeting between representatives OF all the
universities of the two countries are that there Is
not sufficient time select the British representa-
tves. that there is danger of a congestion or attn
letic meetings in 1905 and that it is impossible TO
secure at such short notice adequate guarantees
that the men selected in all respects bona fde
