The Tuesday chapel address was by
DR.. Knowlton, who spoke on scholar
ship. Some of the enemies Of true
scholarship are idleness, hurry and the
over emphasis of the superficial. The
word itself is derived from the Greek
work, schola, which signifies leisure;
time is a necessary element in the de-
velopment of true scholarship. Nee
essary and to a certain extent legiti-
mate rivals are athletics and social
activities. What we must avoid is a
college division OF labor, in which a
few do the religious work, another
body do the studying, others debate,
and still others uphold athletic ac-
tivities. There must be cooperation
in all, and the student ought to round
himself out by taking a reasonable
part in several things, not negIecting
scholarship. DIR. Knowlton thought
conditions in this respect were hope
full in Fargo college, and not only that,
but were steadily improving. Today
we need broad men sharpened to a
point,
