BY OLIVER P. NEWMAN,

BH OLIVER r. NEWMAN,
Author of 1.-THE Fortunes of The
Son."
Suppose you were president of
a great university.
And suppose one of your trus-
Itees-one of your bosses-had a
son in school who wouldn't study
who counted on his rich dads in
Iffuenoe to get his diploma.
And suppose that young scape-
grace turned up at commencement
without enough credits to entitle
him to a sheepskin.
And suppose it was up to you
to say whether he should be
"flunked" or graduated.
What would you dor
or course, you think you'd be
courageous and funk the boy, but
in life things don't usually work
|out that way. Screwed down to a
pinch, the average human thinks
about his hide. and welches.
This very situation once stared
Woodrow Wilson in the face when
he was president of Princeton. But
Wilson didn't WEIGH. He flunked
the son of the rioh trustee.
Right there the trustees of
Princeton found out what kind of
a man they'd elected president.
But flunking unworthy boys
was only a small part of Wilson's
program. He had been a student
of Princeton; he had been a stu
dent at other colleges; he had
been a professor at other schools
and at Princeton; he believed that
the world progresses only from the
rubbing together of the various
elements Of society. Out of this
knowledge, experience and belief,
he reared social program for

best for the peace of the True fam

There Is, however, one linger-

are they?
THUD: Kids.
SLAP: Why didn't you get

THUD: Oh, they'll become old

SLAP: Why are you carrying
one and wearing one?
THUD: That's to make the pair

SLAP: Are you afraid you will

THUD: No; 1t was the dealer

Oh CTR ANEW PRESIDENT. /!

1.-THE university--he saw q great m
lstitutfon of learning, where presi-
dent, faculty and students should
mingle together. for the good OF
all.
And this Is what he proposed:
To abolish the clubs. (They
take the place of frats at Prince
ton.)
To have all students quartered
i'm "quadrangles," or dOrmitories.
To have professors and instruct
ors live in the dormitories, mingle
with the boys become their friends
share their joys and sorrows.
To allow the rich mans son no
more luxury than the poor mans
son,
The funny part of this program
is that the trustees approved 1t a
little at a time, before they dis
covered the dynimite In 1t. They
didn't realize. until 1t was all over
that they had signed the order
for Wilson to take college aris-
tocracy out in front of fold Mas
sau and wiring its neck.
The nub of the whole think was
the clubs. They are twelve in
number, and as they stand, I'M
furnished. they are worth $1,000
900. Each one houses about 80
young men-and only the sons of
the rich can afford to live In them.
Inside those clubs Is every lux
Jury known to the millionaire S
club in New York, Chicago or San
Francisco. Outside are grounds
that look like the private estates
of a British lord. Elsewhere in

the conviction which is most dam
gerOus to America--nameIy, that
you must treat with certain in
fluences which now dominate i'm
the commercial undertakings of
the country.
1.-THE great voice of America
does not come from seats of learn
ing. 1t comes in murmur from
the hills and woods and the farms
and factories and the mills, rolling
on and gaining volume until il
comes to us from the homes of
common men.
''DO these muTnurs echo in the
corridors of universities? I have
not heard them. The universities
would make men forget their COM
mon origins, forget their uniyer-
sal sympathies, and join a class
and no class can ever serve Am
erica.
II know that the colleges of
this country must be reconstruct
ed from top to bottom, and L
know that America is going to de-
mand IL. While Princeton men
pause and think l hope they will
think on these things, that they
will forget tradition in the deter
minatiOn to see 10 it that the free
air of America shall permeate
every Granny of their college.
"Seclude man, separate him
from the rough and tumble of coll
lege life, and You have done
thing which America will brand
with its cOntemptuous disapprov-
al"
Large chunks of dense silence
greeted this declaration. Not
man answered it-there being no
answer. But, scared by the roar
of wealth, the board stood pat,
and a month later Wilson was an
swered-from the grave.
Isaac G. Wyman, Princeton
graduate, died in Salem, Mass,
and left 100000 to Princeton
to found a graduate college-AN
INSTITUTION WHICH WILSON
ABHORED AND HAD OPPOSED
WITH ALL HIS MIGHT FOR
YEARS.
Again the trustees met, and
VhoOh, iSdllZlHS Tue 1uLlllJy OF
talking ideals to the men who held
the destinies of Princeton in their
hands, accepted the inevitable
with the mental reservation that
he would resign and seek a field of
activity where he could be free
from the restraint of money-lov-
ing guardians.
| 1t had taken Wilson fen years
to lay the foundation for a DEM
ocratic university. In one day
in five minutes reactionary
board of trustees tore 1t down. In
its place they are srectiug barriers
that will make Princeton more
than ever aristocratic.
Wilson and his vicious program
of democracy have been beaten,
but Wilson is going on. He has
already found a broader field In
which to labor. He may find the
broadcast.
