reminder that the higarst function OF
a university is to furnish the stand
ards for democracy
The unrest which has character
lied the first decade Of this twentieth
century has led TO many new pro-
posals in all fields. The conservatives
have sometimes been disturbed be-
cause questions have arisen which
In the past have been regarded as

With reference TO such questions
it has sometimes been said that the

The strength of the state univer-
sity lies in its close relation TO the
state said President ChSrleS Richard
Van Hise, of tue University OF Wis
consin, in his commencement address
With this statement as his text
President Van Hise gave an illumi-
rating estimate OF the mission OF the
state university in its relation TO the
state, end TO the people OF the state.
Here are some Ot the salient passages
from this address
The relations between the univer-
sity AMI the state bind them close
ly together. The growth of the un.-
verslty Is dependent urou the state
The state owns the university; and
every citizen feels Lr.scn TO be Il
stakeholder in that ownership. But
associated with these olase relations,
which ere the sueng'r of the state
university, are also ITS most serious
dangers"
These dangers President Van Hise
characterizes as political control, anu
official meddliuS with university
work The first danger he says, no
more threatens the older state univer-
stiles. o; thu second re says:
The remaining danger of the close
association Of che state with the uni
Nersity is the possibility CT interfet-
ence with he freedom of teaching
anG investigation. Il such interfer-
ence occurs, IL is likely 10 be indirect
rather than direct, and Is therefore
more IL sidious. 4 sentiment may Dc
developec or 4 2itIetiCn may arise IN

is not free 20 teach .hc truth as he
sees it: and, To quote phrase, he
may feel thai he must shade the truth

tempt at leadership. This position the
university authorities and its friends
must resist.
Times OF unrest and change are
not the times for the university TO
trim: they are the times TO set every
sail from the main course TO the SKY
sails so that all may draw. If at a
time OF stress the university furls its
sails the people will lose confidence
in the institution that remains supine-
