NEW COURTHOUSE IS
ABSURD, SAYS MEYER
Aesthetic Beauty Sacrificed,
Is Belief of University
Professor.
PLANT TREES HIS REMEDY
without Background Old
Columns Look Like
Sticks He Says.

The citizens of Columbia have been
priding themselves on their new
courthouse. Its huge columns and
massive white walls have appealed tc
their sense Of beauty And now Dr.
Max Meyer, professor of experimental
psychology in the University of Mis-
souri,, skaters all their pride.
From an aesthetic point OF view
the new courthouse is absurd" said
Dr. Max Meyer. to class in aesthetics
Friday morning. The destruction of
the old courthouse was a mistake, not
only because it was a historic build
ing, but because it shut off the view
of the new courthouse and made il
possible to get the desired view. What
is needed now is plenty of trees tC
shut off the view at Seventh and
Eighth streets and Walnut so the prop
er view from the front of the building
may be obtained.
PLENTY of trees in the rear and
on the east and west sides of the
courthouse would also help the ap
pearance of the building. The two
trees along the walk leading to the
main entranee are not needed and
should be cut down. Especially back
of the old columns, there should be &
number of trees. Without back
ground they look like sticks.
Il do not blame our county officers
so much for not understanding the

To print nothing of a man which we
would not say to his face; to print
nothing of a man in malice; to look
well and think twice before consigning
a suspect to the ruin of printers ink;

Business College Outlook Encouraging

Business College Outlook Encouraging.
Prof. Baldwin reports very en-.
couraging outlook for Columbia Bust
ness College The increase in en-.
rollment has been greater for the
time that he has had charge Of the
school than it has ever been before
for the same corresponding time OF
year. Every indication points to the
January enrolment being the largest
in the history of the school.
During the three years that Prof.
Baldwin has been connected with the
school he has taken most active
part in its upbuilding. 1t has had a
very rapid growth during this time;
the annual attendance having been
just about quadrupled since 1907. No
other school in the entire country has
kept pace with the growth of Colum-
bia Business College during this time.
During the past seven months Prof
Baldwin has travelled more than eight
thousand miles, extending over a
large part of the United States, and
has visited great many schools, in
Guiding business colleges and univer.
sites. in the various states visited.
Aside from this Mr.. Baldwin visited
many business institutions of interest,
as well as many Of pleasure and recre.
alton.
With Mr. Baldwin's renewed energy
and much broadened knowledge of
business, as it is conducted in the
large business centers; it is quite
evident that he is thoroughly compe-
tent to not only maintain the high
standing of the school, but to in
crease its growth and efficiency. (adv)
