A Little Bribery Allowable?

1t is with much regret that we have
read the report of the majority of the

mcr. 1t is, of course, true that Sena-
tor Lorimer was not personally con-
ncctcd with any acts of bribery and,
SO far rs is known now. not enough
votes were bought really to elect him.
But that Mr.. I.orimer should remain in
his seat in htc Senate when it is known
that there was proved bribery. does not
argue that the Senate has q delicate
sense of what constitutes fitness
among it's members. OF course, il Mr..
Lorimer were n high minded man in
stead of the cheap machine product
that he is, he would have resigned long
ago and gone back TO the Legislature
for a vindication. The whole thing is
enough TO make any American hang
his head, particularly when he re-

last winter disqualified a man who

Senatorial precedent forbids the cX-
pulsion OF Lorimer, it does not forbid
his moral condemnation. Now we

of the fact that there was actual brib-

Rockefeller's University.


When John D. Rockefeller decided
TO found the University of Chicago it
was no secret that he was induced to
do so by his confidence in President
Harper. While Harper lived the
Rockefeller millions rolled in a more
or less steady stream into the Golfers
tof the school and the generous
founder was content with the results
as he saw them. But the lamentable
death of President Harper cast gloom
over the institution to which he had
devoted 50 much Of his time, and
from that day Mr.. Rockefeller's in
terest seemed to wanc. He could not
desert the project in which he had
tudc changed from spontaneous en-
thuSiasm to mere duty.
AS measured by the standard of the
really great universities OF the coun
try the Chicago university thus far
is not success The truth is that
more than money is needed to create
q great university. Money is unde-
niably necessary in carrying out the
scheme OF such an institution. but
great laboratories. high salaried
teachers, splendid buildings and
practically unlimited equipment must
TIC supplemented by high ideals, de-
votion to purpose. nnseliishness and
public confidence. The latter re-
quircmcnts seem to have been meas
urably lacking in the University of
Chicago.
In his letter of bcstowal Mr.. Rookie
fcltar 1fiac mis- tin.l ,fnnn.
ton OF $10.000,000 is exhausted he
is through and that the University of
Chicago must be mainta med by its
Western friends. That gives us , a
somewhat dubious outlook for the in
stitution. Judging by ITS record thus
far. II is the common impression
that this university has been Il losing
proposition from the day it opened its
doors. For years about all the pub
lie heard of it was the printed antics
OF its professors, some of whom were
sensation seekers who evolved all
sorts Of fantastic theories for publi-
cation. The Rockefeller money was
spent lavishly. Vet as we remember
il, out of all this investment and
generosity not q single important dis
covery has been given to the world
and not single important fact has
been added to science, art or liter
atnre. None of it's graduates has
become 4 great leader Of thought and
its general reputation for accomplish
ment is blemished by the personal
and public acts of some of It's promi-
nent instructors. Had President H1r-
per lived there might have been n
different story.
True, the Chicago institution is
young yet. and it takes time to estab-
lish a great university and give it
standing and fame. The Eastern
universities of note are all much old
.r. Perhaps with years the institu-
ton Mr.. Rockefeller has so literally
endowed may become all TINT he
hoped for and attain world wide
celebrity. The West is ccrtain'v en-
titled to such a possession.
