The Declaration of independence

The Declaration of independence
recognizes as one of the rights of man
the privilege of the pursuit of hap
piness. though philosophers tell us
that that pursuit can never be crown
ed with complete success. Happiness
is a by-product, as 1t were, of devo-
ton to duty. Similarly, If the high
est educational interests of the stu
dents are desired. and If the UNIVERSE
ty is most completely to serve the
state, these issues will best come not
by directly seeking them. but as
certain result of promoting in large
and generous measure the interests
of the faculty
President Has Wide Influence.
How nightly influential for good Is
the president of the university, whose
high privilege it is, not only to he a
master in his own special DEPART
ment. but to work in or through all
departments of the institutions ac-
tivities. All the conspicuously great
American and Canadian presidents
have themselves been eminent in
their own fields as investigators and
teachers, but they have also exercised
a stimulating influence upon all other
members Of the faculty. Many of the
grestest of these, notably the late
President Harper of Chicago. remain
ed a teacher to the end. and refused
to allow himself to be absorbed who'll
ly by administrative duties. AS a
consequence. the new university over
which he presided very speedily took
its place as seat of higher learning
by the side of other institutions with
histories going back to the previous
century.
The president more than any one
else can act as powerful force in
developing public opinion. to recog-
nize the high functions of a UNIVERSE
ty and in winning the support of
those to whom the university must
look for maintenance. and can en-
list their sympathy in the intellectual
task Of the two-fold creation and dis
senlinat;on of truth. which is the
function of a university in the worlds
work
University Big Feature.
Perhaps the most remarkable fea-
ture of the nineteenth century was
the remarkable development of the
United States as nation. A vast and
empty territory has been filled with
strong and vigorous people: there
have been great political upheavals
and industrial movements: colossal
commercial enterprises have been
conceived and executed. and fabulous
private and corporate wealth accumu-
lated. Yet among them all there is
nothing more impressive and signifi-
can't than the universal spread Of
popular education. the only secure
foundation upon which democracy
can rest. A great feature of this
movement has been the establishment
Of the state universities, whose evo-
luton has been so rapid as to APP
pear not gradual, but per saltum: in
some cases they seem to have sprung
forth fully armed like Minerva from
the head of Jove.

For twenty years following quarrel
with the Typographical Union which
resulted in making the Times non
union paper, Otis has fought union
ism. He has been seconded by the

The feeling which ran high over
the Times disaster, was augmented
when the discovery was made Of a
dynamite bomb found under the resi-
dence of Secretary Zeelander, and
reached state of CONSERVATION when
the attempt on Otis residence be
came known. Otis home is on Wilt
