Princeton Head BIames Colleges for
Making Work Agreeable to Those
Who Attend

The intellectual pamperiEs Of col
lege students. according to theory
that the road TO knowledge should be
smooth and pleasant, was condemned
by John Grier Hibben. president Of
Princeton. at the eighth conference Of
masters Of church schools. at st.
Luke's school. Wayne.
IF were asked to name the great
est defect OF the present undereradu-
ate," said President Hibben, Il would
say II was his tendency to postpone
until tomorrow the task Of today. Col
leges connive in this by making his
work agreeable; the teacher at once
helps him over any difficulty. Men in
the world must earn their daily bread
by the sweat OF their brows, but the
student can acquire knowledge quite
vicariously, without having to exert
himself for II. He should be made to
think his way out of difficulties for
himself"
