Harvard's Presidents Dictum
Disputcd-Churchill Calls
80 CallOw.
30. SAYS PROF. LINDSAY

Thomas W. Churchill. president Of the
Board Of Education. does not agree with
the statement made by President Lowell
of Harvard In his baccalaureate sermon
on Sunday that man reaches his physical
prime at is or 10 and his mental prime
at 20.
"I don't know whether or not there Is
any way of d~isintegrating the gray
matter I'm mems reads that enables q
person To- reach such precise results"
Mr.. Churchill said when asked about the
Harvard presidents diCtum. 81 notice
that Dr. Lowell admits that experience
is often a good substitute for enlarging
mental capacity. Not yet being an old
man ! can't be sure that he isn't light.
Put It is my impression, derived from
what I V seen and read and heard,
n man finishes his mental growth.
Physical growth can he exactly studied

IL Is a matter of measuring with a tape
But even mental specialists and alienists
disagree violently about the activities
Of a man mind. So hat ] thing IL a
bold thing for any one to undertake TO
say at what age mental growth is at an
end.
Keats. shelley. Byron. Chattcrton
and other great poets. whose lives were
cut snort, perhaps ny diSSlpdtlOuS might
oonccivably have been greater had they
lived to he older. ! seem to recall too
the blind and aged Milton debating to
his daughters an immortal work called
Paradise Lost And In recent times
there were two very old men who were
thought to have attained a greater
mental growth after passing the age
Of 80. one was Prince Bismarck the
other was Pope Leo XIII.
Il should say that n mans most
important mental Advancement often

Lowell TO make" was suggested.
Yes" MIR. Churchill answered. but
there Is n rood deal of this sort OF
thing. There Is. for example. the presi-
dent Of Yale telling young men not to
so into politics. think IT'S all wrong.
II the college men didn't go into politics
it would have the effect OF starting
class distinctions where none exist and
would tend t. breed an ar~istocracy."
Prof. Samuel McCune Lindsay. who
teaches social legislation at Columbia,
said that he thought President Lowell
was wrong both IN respect Of mans
physical II mental. ripeness.
"t don't believe a man reaches his
mental maximum at 20 or his physical
maximum al Is or 10" commented Prof.
Lindsay. Hardly that should say
hat a mans fbre. physical and mental,
Is often better AT 30. The man may no,
grow any taller. but ne often broadens
and strengthens physically after 10. I
am not speaking OF an increased rotund-
