THE LIMIT REACHED

The friendliness OF the United States
to several OF the European beIliger-
ents has been most severely taxed by
their irritating attitude in many mat.
tiers connected with diplomatic cues
tions, and II Is not surprising that
patience was exhausted by the unu.
sual performances OF the Austrian
Ambassador. who has admitted TO
having been a party TO unwarranted
interference with the domestic affairs
OF the nation. His offense was grave.
and his impertinence consisted in his
attempts to justify his acts, and that
they were inspired by and approved
OF by his government. Perhaps no
decision of President Wilson in our
critical international relations has
met with warmer approval than the re-
quest made OF the Austro Hungarian
government for the recall of its OF.
Tending representative, DR.. Dumba.
II is one thing to differ in diplomatic
contentious. but when Dumba became
the head Of conspiracy 10 NEEDLE

country TO the disturbance of the
tranquility Of our internal affairs.
that is quite another matter.
! Dr. Dumba was well aware that he
was violating the most rigid proprie-
ties that are exacted OF a diplomatic
representative. A man in his posi-
ton could not have been ignorant Of
the fate Of others who were recalled
from their American posts. notably the
British Ambassador SackviIle- West.
for far less indiscreet and wholly in
cefensible acts than those he has con-
fessed TO. That he has made himself
persona non grata to the point OF
recall may possibly lead to the fur.
ther unpleasantness of the severance
OF all diplomatic relations between
this country and Austria, notwith-
standing the assurances of President
Wilson OF our distinguished regard.
Whatever the results are we can meet
them with a complete justification of
the provOcatiOn. And IL may be that
our assertiveness in this instance may
have salutary effect on other ma
tons disposed 10 treat lightly or
wholly ignore our rights as neutrals.

THE PROMISE OF THE COLLEGE YEAR

The remark OF Cicero that laws

In a large degree. to the higher
education. II education does not

the means and forces which pro-
mote II are impaired. This impair
ment can be measured directly
oy the distance of the place Of edu-
cation from the place of hostilities.
The higher education in America
Is not seriously suffering from the
war in Europe. The chief effect
which the war has had already, or
Will have. upon the higher educa-
ton In America relates to the gen.
eral unrest and uncertainty aris-
ing in the minds OF men from the
fact OF the war itself. and from the
possibility of this government be-
coming directly involved. Yet
forthcoming academic year. IL is
probable that the number OF stu
dents in the incoming classes may
be somewhat lessened, and that ac-
tive and aggressive plans for the
enlargement OF the courses of in
struction. OF endowments and gen.
eral college facilities may be linn
tied. Notwithstanding. however,
these possibilities. the two great
elements which constitute the
higher education are not in peril
of being seriously affected.
That great and ever increasing
part OF the higher education,
known as reseach. will still go
forward. In laboratory and H.
brary. scholars will continue TO
pursue their vocation OF seeking
for. discovering and publishing
what seems to be the truth. In
deed, the war may promote the
cultivation of this field. For
scholars who. in times of peace,
would have gone 10 Germany. or
France or England. will stay at
home: and other scholars. too.
may come from foreign parts TO
pursue their investigations in the
universities OF America.
But the chief promise OF the col
lege year OF 1915-i6-and IL is a
most glorious promises a prom
Use which relates TO youth itself.
II is a promise given TO humanity
by or in behalf OF youth. II is
the promise of wisdom. II is the
promise of seeking to transmute
learning into understanding. UNI
derstanding into wisdom. and wis
dom into character. II is the
promise TO gives so far as can be
given. the filling of the direst
need OF humanity. This need is
the need of wisdom itself Amer
lea does not stand in want of en-
ergy. IL has no lack OF a sense OF
progressiveness. II Is dynamic.
Force spells America. But the
lack OF the nation is the lack OF
that priceless quality which we
call wisdom.
Wisdom the College gives. or at
least seeks TO give, in several
ways. For wisdom represents
thinking. The training OF the
thinker is one OF the primary aims
OF the college. Thinking is an art.
An art is learned by its practice.
Thinking. therefore. is learned by
thinking. II represents habits OF

ca oy being accurate and by being
discriminating. A course In educa-
uon promotes thinking more effec-
lively than a course In business.

lie has soundness OF judgement.
largeness OF understanding. CON-
prehension and not simply appre-
hension. He has a sense of rela-
tons. His mind is symmetrical.
not simply tangential.
The wisdom. too. which the col
lege seeks to discipline represents
sympathetic appreciation. Pro
Nincialism is. despite our so-called
cosmopolitan. our curse. The
college tries to train n certain Gu
bical relationship: II wishes TO
give the mind length. breath and
height IL tries to represent life
as a polygon and not as a straight
line.
With the sympathetic apprecia-
ton which wisdom includes. there
is TO be embraced. of course. the
application Of knowledge. For, as
Burke says, wisdom Is the applica-
ton OF knowledge to affairs. De-
spite its apparent remoteness the
college does train men in most
practical ways. a single college

roughly than at the present.
Neither Is IL to be forgotten that
the wisdom which represents the
promise of the new college year
is not simply intellectual. II is al
so moral. II includes the cardinal
virtues as well as the intellectual
strengths. In Il. moreover. the
ethical graces have their place.
That wisdom which represents
righteousness. honesty. justice
temperance. purity, is even more
fundamental and essential than
the intellectual standards.
