Dr. Woodrow Wilson, president of

at the Princeton alumni dinner in

dress which startled his 200 college
hearers. He hayed methods Of Protes-
tant churches of the present day,
scored privately maintained colleges,
of which Princeton is one. saying that
the college bred man of today will not
do, and then launched into political
conditions closing his speech with the
following

may be thought among the last to
blame the churches, yet feel it my
duty TO say that they, at least the
Protestant churches. are serving the
classes and not the masses Of the peo-
pie They have more regard for pew
rents than for mems souls. They are
depressing the level of Christian en-
deavor
1T is the same with universities.
We look for the support Of the wealthy
and neglect our opportunities to serve
the people 1t is for this reason the
state university is held in popular ap-
prevail while the privately supported
institution TO which we belong is COM
ing to suffer a corresponding loss OF
esteem.
His Warning to Colleges.
while attending a recent Lincoln
celebration ! asked myself if Lincoln
would have been as serviceable to the
people Of this country had he been a
college man, and l was obliged to say
to myself that he would not. The
processes to which the college man is
subjected do not render him service
able to the country as a whole. 1t is
for this reason that l have dedicated
every power In me to a democratic
regeneration. The American college
must become saturated in the same
sympathies as the common people.
The colleges Of this country must be
reconstructed from the top to the bot
tom.
THE American people will tolerate
nothing that savors Of exclusiveness.
Their political parties are going to
pieces. They are busy with their
moral regeneration, and they want
leaders who can help them to accom-
rplish it. Only those leaders who seem
able to promise something of q moral
advance are able TO obtain a follow
ing. The people are tired Of pretense,
and | ask you. as Princeton men, to
heed what is going on

SEVERAL TIMES
Train Dispatcher Of Burlington and

Accomplished the Feat.

A Burlington paper says: A

ing at this point was set this morning
when John Temple, train dispatcher
at the Burlington depot and Merton L..
Clevett, physical director of the local
Y. NJ. c. A. made the transit OF the
stream three times without resting,
covering a distance of nearly four
miles in one hour and twelve minutes.
The two swimmers were accompanied
in row boat by Arthur F. Robbins,
who was prepared to hand out life pre-
servers or give other assistance The
two swimmers exhibited extraordinary
endurance, however, and all Mr.. Rob
bins had to do was to lead the way
with his skiff, and they followed with
out assistance of any kind. 1t is quite
evident that Messrs Temple and Cley-
EFT are in the Paul Boyton class.
