(Oration by Clement Richardson Wood, which won the trustees medal at the University of Alabama.)
 President Eliot of Harvard, at the close of his recent tour of the southern universities and colleges, is reported to have said that he was more than ever convinced that the great questions which confront our government must | ? settled in the near future by col lege men. In this statement the great educator admitted the close relation between the college and the state on the moral side. If the management of our government is to rest in the hands of college men, it is desirable that the college see clearly this fact, and train it's men with the aim of preparing them to bear their part in the affairs of the nation. Many close observers state that our colleges have not so acted in the last few decades; that they have not stressed the relation of the student to the state, nor made one of their principal aims the development of cit izenship. It is plain that here Is a misconception of the true purpose ol the college or a failure to fulfill It. How far public opinion has been re-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-20

mon moral laxity. In every walk of col lege life the influence of the faculty, when exerted, is felt, and the conduct of the students in every important particu- lar Is regulated and controlled by their idea of the attitude of their leaders. It is in the power of the faculty to cut away every useless and harmful spirit, and they could go to the heart of the trouble in athletics by strict regulation, absolutely driving professionalism out of our colleges. The majority of college men desire this; for while 1t is a fact that while we are in the game of today we may wish that the game be won at any cost, in our calm moments it is agreed that tomorrow's game must be fairly played. The administration and faculty can control all intercollegiate contests of whatever nature, wherever there is any chance for unfairness, and make the Eng fish spirit of flair play all powerful; {; they could bring about such a revolution that in every contest we should consider 1t less of disgrace to lose fairly than to win by e~ooked means, while now it is the sad truth that If we win, even though we know of ringers" on the team, too often we stubbornly close our eyes and applaud the shameful victory.
 The faculty can remedy this lamenta- ble condition. And yet too frequently has it been true that through an un- thinking following of precedent and custom, through lack of assertiveness and through poverty of that quality which is known as moral backbone" through indifference caused by over specialization, which oftimes carries with 1t a lack of familiarity with clear cut ideals of truth and morality. through an unwiHingness to exert onet self outside of ones own department, or through policy, that mantel which covers so many sins; through what ever of these or other causes it may be, there are some college professors today who would hesitate to come forth and take an open stand for these principles of morality. But on the other hand there Is another type, men who will lend their influence to the right at all times and on all occasion; teachers who are not content with teaching the text lone, but who apply to life the prin- ciples they teach, and inspire in tn cir pupils a love for the good, the true, the noble men of individuality, of con viction. It was of such men as these that Edward Everett Hale said that it did not matter so much what you learned, as from wh om you learned 1t.
 The leader of these educators should necessarily be akin to the character of such a man as Doctor Eliot, in his physical, mental and moral makeup; such a man that in him every student should in some way see his ideal ex pressed To such a president and such a faculty we may safely leave all ques- tions of morality.
 The demands of public opinion can bring it to pass that such men shall exclusively fill our universities and col
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-20

leges. The students, as well as the public, must see and express the need of having strong men for leaders. If the public demands continually that only men of a high, positive moral na- ture fill the chairs of our higher insti- tutions of learning, their demands will be heard, and the future of the Ameri- can college is safe.
 The effect of a faculty composed of such teachers would be wonderful upon the college, for new spirit would arise, spirit that would manifest itself in kindly but strict regulation of all moral ques- tions The students would be allowed every liberty up to a certain point, but beyond that point every infraction of the rules would be severely punished. No pressure of policy or partiality could change the decrees of such a body. By contact with such teachers the students moral sinew would be strengthened, and his motives purified; the training of men for citizenship would not be neglected, minds would be schooled for the coming struggle with life, and the whole college would find it's principles and ideals great ly elevated.
 Then when the students bade farewell to their alma mater, and entered the great, busy world outside, these same principles and ideals would control them. No matter whether their way led through numDie valleys or prlNale lire anu peace full pursuits, upon the mountain crests of public life and leadership, the moral stamina acquired at college would be felt. In public life the college man would al ways stand for something. He would neither participate in public corruption, nor stand idly by and witness 1t, but he would fight surely and strongly against all wrongs. In the councils of the nation his voice would be heard, ever ringing out for Justice to all
 He would see that we deal justly on the race question with the yellow man of the east, well as with the black man of the south; he would demand a square deal for the Filipinos and Cubans and at his hand the smallest power would receive the same fair treatment accorded to the largest. Under the con- trol of such men the United States would assume the great place she deserves among the great nations of the world, great not only in stretch of broad and fertile acres, and splendid and fiourishing cities, in a magnificent war machine on land and world girdling fleets on the sea, but great in fairness, in unswerving obe- dience to the dictates of liberty and in the administration of universal justice.

What Troubled Him.

From Harper's Weekly.
 When about to leave town one day a certain elderly bishop, a bachelor who especially fond of his bath, gave strict orders to the housemaid about his ''bawthttSo," and told her not to allow any one to use it.
 However, the temptation grew on the poor housemaid, and she took a plunge.
 Upon returning unexpectedly, the bishop found traces of the recent stolen bath, and questioned the maid so closely that she had to confess she was the guilty one, and was very sorry.
 "I hope you do not think it is sin, bishop?" asked Jane, in tears.
 Flying her sternly, he said, Jane, your using my tub is not a sin, but what dis tresses me most is that you would do anything behind my back that you would not do before my face"
