Every Student His Own Athlete

So far the colleges and universities of
the country have accepted the war and us
demands with comprehension wholly for
eign to busy industrial centres. There has
never been day since the war declara-
ton in which these clustered communities
have talked about business as usual or
in which they have gone about their activi-
ties "as if nothing had happened" From
the first their habits Of thought, their cur
ricula, their routine of work and recrea-
ton have suffered transformation whose
extent began to dawn on the public atlarge
only at commencement time.
Suddenly, it appeared then, the classic
halls Of the land had become schools for
soldiers. Whole student bodies paraded In
olive drab, we'll advanced on the road to
discipline. Discipline! One has merely
TO recall the typical undergraduate of the
remote, lethargic days of peace to appre-
ciate the metamorphosis which this implies.
Mild faculty theorists had become army
officers. On every hand there was proof
that Mars had gripped the reins with
which Minerva had been toying.
This process of adaptation still con-
tinues in what normally would be the inert
months of the long vacation. While avia-
ton school or officers training corps or
10th make use of campus and ivy-clad build
ings. the Collegiate Athletic Association
foregathers at the national capital TO revo-
lutionize undergraduate play in conformity
with sterner world. The result is re-
form for which many a forward looking
patriot sighed in vain in the days Of peace,
one Of those complete social gains which,
despite pacifstic denial, do come with war
and survive it.
Henceforth college athletics are to be
carried on strictly in the interest of the
student body, not 10 advertise the institu-
ton nor TO attract spectators. AS many
students as can be enticed to baseball
or football field, into gymnasium or rowing
shell are TO be encouraged to develop them
selves physically, so that they may make
better soldiers. Spectacular intercollegiate
contests in which few specialists engage,
while the great bulk Of their fellow stu
dents cooperate vocally from the bleachers,

The New British Empire
A Scot Corrects Some Wrong I'm.
pressions About 1t
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The nucleus of the British Empire is
the United Kingdom, composed of Scotland,
Ireland, Wales and England. The statement
made by letter writer ("Anglo- Irishman'O
in to-day's Tribune that England is really
the British Empire" is preposterous bosh;
absurd on the face of it. What was the Eng
lish Empire is now included in the United
States. 1t revoted and seeded.
The new British Empire has been built by
the United Kingdom, and not by England.
The distinguished Celts who are in command
of the army and navy Of the empire and
in control of its political affairs are not de-
voting their lives and their talents to the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and Qualification of England,
but to the consolidation of the United Brit
ish Empire and its numerous pariaments and
legislatures, steps for the federation of which,
with a central parliament, were being con-
sidered at the outbreak Of the war.
As for the Anglomaniac statement concern
ing the position of England" with regard to
the modern empire which has succeeded the
old empire disrupted by pigheaded Tory
Englisnmen and Teutonic king, it may be
reduced to its proper insignifcance by a con-
sideration of the fact that without the CO.
operation and protection of Scotland, Ireland
and Wales and the splendid group of self
governing Britannia countries overseas Eng
land to-day might be q vassal state Of Ger
many.
No one should dispute or belittle England's
place in the United Kingdom or in the new
empire (which Is much younger than the
United States). England has large pop
ulation, and, in great measure owing to the
cherishing kindness and the solid backing of
the Hebrew race is wealthy. But its large,
dull, conservative, not very well educated
population has shown little initiative. Such
progressive functioning as it has achieved
has been mainly in response to Celtic and
Hebraic stimuli.
This is no time TO suggest internal dis
sensions among our allies, yet, in view of this
outrageous claim, | must yield to the tempta-
ton of reviving famous statement made by
the Scottish Earl of RoSebery in "The North
American Review:
Scotland held the Border against England
for thousand years; and, if necessary, can
hold it for thousand more"
Since that was first written the steel ship
building industry of the Clyde has been de-
veloped so amazingly and prodigiously that |
am certain, in case of a separation, Scot
fish navy could be put in commission which
could whip any navy England, unaided,
could float.
In spite Of this well-founded belief, | do
not approve gibes at England or at any Of
the partners in the United Kingdom, the
British Empire or the Great Alliance in
these perlous times
