Association OF State Universities.
President Shurmam Of Cornell touched
upon student activities in This man

functions OF our universities, state anu

Sidered. these So-called student actlVI-
ties are proper. and it may he even
lauGallC. need not point out. though
in the case OF football. that these ont
side activities absorb TIL" time and
interest OF the students who partIcl-
pate in them to the deTriment of that
intellectual training and education Tor
the sake OF which they presumably
came to the university. 1t is no relief

students derive a valuable experience

about its hospitable campus. They are
mere phomena, or even epi-phenom-
ena. that play about that vital and
essential reality which we call the
university. To substitute them for it
is to glorify the shadow as the sub
stance
Further on the president made an
important distinction between Ameri-
can and European scholarship.
AT Oxford and Cambridge students
! are divided into pass and honor
men. the former numbered by thou
sands and the latter numbered by
hundreds. And in Germany radical
/ distinction is made between the pass
/ degree and the degree of magma cum

! ter of which is obtained by only a
/ small number of graduates. To these
! distinguished graduates the best

Britain With us in the United States
speaking generally. all degrees of the
same denomination conferred by a
university have the same value. The
result is that our degrees are held in

Following is a brief statement of
the A Il. C.'S' of Rugby football
prepared for the benefit OF persons
not familiar With the Rugby game
1t is interesting in that it shows the
difference between the Rugby and the
so-called American game:
PASSING RALLY-When several
players run down the field. passing the
ball from one To another whenever the
man with the ball is in danger OF
being tackled.
DRIBBI.lNG-This term is used
when. iii rush. IA player kicks the
ball little way ahead of him and
RECEIVERS it himself or allows one ol
his teammates to recover il. This
is sometimes repeated many times.

be accomplished with the feet. and no

HEARST TALKS ON JOURNALISM
Says He Regards Newspaper as an
Attorney of the People.

NEW YORK.-At dinner given
the other evening. ar which many
prominent business men were present,
William Randolph Hearst was asked
TO speak on journalism and said lii
part:
Il am here as newspaper man.
| have been asked in this symposium
OF varied interests To speak on any
subject as long as it is associated
with journalism.
Il am glad to lind Mr.. Shonts in the
broad and liberal frame of mind OF the
young lady who liked any color as
long as it was red, and | AIN glad
and grateful also to have assigned to
me a subject of journalism rather
than OF politics.
Il know something about journalism,
and ! have d high opinion OF my pro
fession.
Il regard a newspaper publisher as
an attorney retained by the people to
protect their rights and interests.
Il believe it to be as much the duty
of the newspaper publisher to place
the interests OF the people above all
questions of personal friendship or
personal advantage as it is the duty
of an honorable attorney to place the
interests of his clients above all such
considerations.
If journalism is sometimes found I'D
active and critical opposition to certain
business interests, it is merely be-
cause these interests have come INTO
direct conflict with the rights OF the
public. which it is the main duty OF
Journalism to defend.
IF journalism maintains an ATTITUDE
of greater approval toward other bus
mess interests. it is because OF the
disposition of the business men III
control of these interests to entertain
a broader and higher conception Oh
their duties and responsibilities TO the
public.
