THE VIEWS OF ONE OF THE
ELECT.

Barrett Wendell, high of brow and
weighty of thought, who when he is
not lecturing is engaged as professor
of English at Harvard colleague
pronounces It "Hawvahd" -gaye a lee
ture to a select audience in Chicago
last night. Ordinarily the announce
ment that college professor will give
lecture Is not considered an event
of unusual Importance in Chicago, as
in the Chicago university there are
professors who are ready to lecture at
the drop of the hat, and who some
times do not wait for the signal.
But the lecture last night was some
thing out of the ordinary, even If It
was in a city which is accustomed to
nearing college professors lecture on
subjects more or less bizarre.
Prof. Wendell's lecture was on
The Privileged Classes''-he pro-
nounces it s.clawses"-and here is the
way the professor launched forth on
his subject:
The upper classes are absolutely
the superiors of the people they have
surpassed, and one is disposed to say
that God made the reason
the difference between the upper
classes are those who have exhibited
the highest degree of ability, worth,
and character. Anywhere in the world
the upper classes are the cream of
society. Those who by reason Of
sloth, degeneracy, drunkenness, or in
competence do not deserve to main
tain themselves in the unprivileged
upper classes sink in the privileged
lower classes where they belong"
Then the professor took up a de-
Tense of the elect. He resented the
criticism which shows itself in the
form Of cartoons zone Of the most
popular caricatures in the comic pa
pers today" he said, represents
big bodied, bald headed, thin whisker-
ed, brutal, grinning man trampling on
his worthy fellow citizens, and he is
supposed to personify wealth and
fashion, the upper classes" Unable
to view this picture in the same light
as the cartoonist. who Is usually pos
sessed of sense of humor, the pro-
fessor seriously objects. He says:
There is nothing characteristic of
men Of wealth and fashion in this
picture. The people of wealth and
fashion in this country are singularly
unobtrusive."
The professor has found class to
which this picture bears resemblance,
however. He had made daily prac.
tice of riding three miles on the street
car from his home in cultured Boston
ito the college at Cambridge, taking
this ride on common street car, as he
,iexplained, to gain a knowledge of
those of my fellow citizens outside of
my own class" And mere he found
the class typified in the cartoons. He
says:
If there is anything on earth like
the big bodied monster have spoken
of 1t is this laboring man with his tin
pail who usurps my privileges. If 1
demonstrate with him he is surly
and angry and regards me as
tyrant; and, furthermore, public SEN
timent, in my part of the country at
least, agrees with him that he has,
not only equal political and legal
