new PRESIDENT ASSUMES
FULL CHARGE AT U. or U.
Authorities Plan to Turn Out Students
or High Character, Equipped for
Lies Battle.

DR.. John A. Widtsoe. successor to
President J. r. kingsbury, has now
assumed full charge of things at the
University of Utah. DR.. Widtsoe says
that he finds everything in very good
shape and that the prospects for
successful school year are excellent.
lie looks for large and representa-
tive student body. Judging from what
he has heard in travelling about the
state, he believes that the registra-
tion of students from outside the city
will be exceptionally large.
DR.. Widtsoe believes that there is
no question whatever about the sue
cessful future OF the university. The
faculty and regents, he says. are
working unitedly for the interests of
the institution, and with its location
in a new, rapidly growing section in
a community which is education low
ing, there Is a tremendous opportu-
nifty for the ~" to grow in service
to the state.
DR.. Widtsoe says that his policy
will be to open the book of knowledge
as widely as possible, to be unafraid
OF truth in any field, and to apply
whatever is gained to the actual
needs of the community. The ideal
will be to tarn out students who are
not only of high character, but are
also serviceable, efficient men. With
regard to the years plans DR. Widtsoe
says that there will be large de-

velopment of the policy OF giving
practical and modern work In com.
mercial and industrial subjects. He
believes that the training OF men for
leadership and efficiency in business
Is an important function OF the uni
versity In this state.
The school of mines. he says, has
plans under way for the development
OF various phases OF engineering prac-
tice, which will result in a great in
crease of its usefulness, especially in
as much as 1t can work in co-opera-
ton with the United States Bureau of
Mines.
Dr. Widtsoe believes that the school
OF medicine, which has been retained
In class A, should and will undertake,
not merely the professional training
OF doctors, but the larger problems OF
public health and sanitation. He
thinks that the scope OF the univer-
sity's department OF medicine should
be very much broadened in order to
serve the state practically and widely.
The law school, under the leader
ship of Dean Leary, will not only
train lawyers. but will cooperate
with other departments in order to
improve general citizenship. Special
efforts will be made TO prepare men
for public service. by giving courses
in other subjects besides technical
law.
The school of education is planning
to increase its experimental work in
the training school with the idea of
improving the school system of the
state. Dean Bennion even plans to
cooperate with other departments in
the university in the direction OF
studying problems of school ventila-
ton and kindred matters.
The school of arts and sciences,
which includes the work in com
merce and finance, and which really
has the widest field of all, will con-
tinue its development under the lead
ership of Dean j. l.. Gibson.
DR.. Widtsoe says that each member
of the faculty has plans for his work
which will take some time TO carry
out, but that the idea of all is greater
service to the state. The question,
how can this school with its fine
equipment. its large faculty and stu
dent body, and its splendid location,
enter more strongly into the spirit
and life of the people is the one
which the faculty is attempting to
answer. DIR. Widtsoe declares that he
hopes that within short time import
ant additions can be made to the
great university work which has been
thoroughly and solidly commenced by
his predecessors. He also states
that he will support all the organiza-
tons and activities of the student
body and hopes that he, together with
the faculty and regents, can cooper
ate with the students in working for =
| greater university.

HOME IDEA A COMPLEX ONE
Writer in Harper's Describes II as
He Insists That a Feminist
Sees II.

The home Idea is complex; II emf
braces privacy, possession; II implies
n place where one can retreat, be
master, be powerful in small sphere,
take off ones boots, be sulky or pleas
ant, as one likes, w. l.. George writes
in Harper's Magazine. 1t involves,
above all, place where one does not
hear the neighbours piano, or the
neighbours baby, or, with luck, the
neighbours cat; but where on the 9th
or hand, ones own piano, ones own
baby and ones own cat are raised to
high and personal pitch Of import
ance.
II involves everything that is in
dlvldual-one's own stationery block,
ones monogram upon the plate. If
the S. T.. C.. A. did not intervene,
think one might often see In the front
garden cat branded with hot iron:
"Thomas Jones. His cat" 1t is the
rallying point Of domestic virtue, the
origin of domestic tyranny. 1t is the
place where public opinion cannot see
you and where, therefore, you may be-
have baby. Most wife-beaters live in
houses; FIN flats they would be afraid
Of the opinion of the hall porter.
The home spirit has hated theaters,
concerts, dances, lectures, every form
of amusement; and, as it has to bear
them, likes to refer to them archly as
debauches, or going on the razzle-
dazzle, or the ran-dan, according to
period.
1t has powerfully allied itself with
the pulpit and, in impious circles,
with fancy work and crochet; it has
enlisted "A considerable portion of the
Royal academy to depict 1t In vari-
Gus scenes for which the recipe is ::
One tired man with a sunny smile re-
| turning to his home; one delighted
wife; suitable number of ebullient
children and, inevitably, n dog. The
dog varies. In England they general
ly put in a terrier, in war time bull
dog in Germany 1t may be a dachs-
hund and in other countries 1t is an
other kind of dog, but 1t is always
the same idea.
