measure of your college education"
"A college or university man, simply
from the fact that he is such, is pos
sessed of a passport which admits to
much that is necessarily closed to men
who have no such associations" de-
clares DR.. Charles C. Harrison, provost
of the University of Pennsylvania.
Doctor Harrison enters into an ex-
haustive and interesting discussion Of
the subject and summarizes thus:
The first object of college training
should be. of course, to develop the
faculties, so that a person may think
clearly and logically and that by con-
tact with men and books his horizon
may be widened and his joy of living
thereby increased The actual and per-
manent good which a student derives
from a college training may, 1 think,
be enumerated as follows:
''First-Enlarged knowledge of the
subjects of thought which have en-
gagged the attention of men from the
beginning of history. which may in
clude fund of general and also more
or less specialized knowledge
Second-Breadth of view and abil-
ity to appreciate and understand the
utterances of the best minds of all
ages on many subjects.
.Third-Associations OF great value
in connection with friendships. and
also acquaintances formed in college
among men of different traditions and
from different parts of our own
country as well s-s from foreign lands.
Coupled with this is the practical re-
suit which comes from attendance on
a college or university course whereby
a man becomes a member of great
fraternity of men with strong bonds
of sympathy. A college or university
man, simply from the fact that he is
such, is possessed of passport which
admits to much that is necessarily
closed to men who have had no such
associations.
"Fourth-A general 4argeness of
thought and of life which characterize
the purposes for which universities
exist
Together with the above benefits
which accrue from a college or uni
versity training, there comes also in
creased power as result of knowl-
edge gained from men as well as from
books and realization that knowl-
edge is power. when it is accompanied
by ability to use 1t in service.
The discipline of faculties is of the
greatest Importance to the student IL
we construe discipline as the resultant
of association for the period In which

lege is accorded him of close associa-

sofa, suggests that "the greatest value
of college education is to fit man
for a useful life by disciplining his
powers and opening to him in some
measure the fields of knowledge, so
that he can do most effectively what he
undertakes within the range of his
knowledge and can know where to get
more knowledge If he needs it."
Writing from Syracuse university the
president. DIR. James f. Day, says: The
chief value of college education is in.
mental discipline. If man is thor
oughly disciplined he will acquire
knowledge and have power to use it.

caused somewhat of stir in educa-

universities scattered pretty broadly
over the country and give fair con-
sensus Of the opinions of national ed

which make college course worth

Most Of the writer's agree that men
tai discipline is paramount in the col
lege course. Thus President Arthur T
Hadley of Yale is quoted as saying
that the ideal college education seems
10 be one where a student learns things
that he is not going to use in after
life by methods that he is going to use
The former element gives the breadth,
