the other side would be lined with sX-nule teams

Unjust CONCLUSIONS Based on Limited

A limited investigation OF the reading
habits and tendencies OF the students in
zone Of the larger colleges of the middle

rather slight material for general conclu-
sions. There are colleges and colleges,
Libraries and libraries, and conditions al
Madison, say, might not be at all similar
to conditions at the University of Chicago,
the Chicago Record-Herald.
Thus we are told by a writer In the
outlook, who has made the investigation
alluded to. that students do not read the
daily papers, as a rule, though they do
exhibit a strong tendency to read weeklies
that make a feature Of comprehensive news
summaries. But the reading Of daily pa
pers is one thing at Madison, Champaign,
Urbana, and another thing in Chicago,
New York or Boston. The chances are
that in the great cities college students
read newspapers far more regularly than
in small university towns.
1t is reassuring to hear that college stu
dents do not care for trash and sensation
alism either in journalism or in fiction.
Though their reading is distinctly unsyste-
matte, It is not unwholesome Their taste
is sound, we are told, though III directed
to some extent. What is d~eplored is the
apparent Indifference Of the students in
vestigated to biography, history, criticism,
essays and the higher poetry. The cul-
tural influence Of good fiction is not to
be disparaged, but, OF course, it is not
to be compared with the Influence OF
works telling Of great and noble lives,
heroic and splendid deeds, decisive vic
tories for civilization and progress,
Observing once more that more facts
and fuller knowledge covering a variety
Of conditions are needed for firm conclu-
sions, II may yet be said that the proba-
biity is as alleged. Al Princeton an effort
