GAS ATTACK ON UNIVERSITIES
American Institutions by Radical Writer Anglers
Few Educators, But Amuses the Majority.
By FRANK ANDREWS FALL, Lift. D.
Bursar of New York University.

Instances Of the kind" he says. arc
not" wholly unknown. though presum-
ably exceptional" He asserts that the
spirit Of American business Is spirit
of quictism. caution, compromise, collu-
sion and chicane." though just now
these curiously characterized factors are
related 10 education, or even to cach
other. Is impossible to determine.
College graduates with grateful MEM
orics Of men like Eliot of Harvard and
Angel Of Michigan. and those who have
known such presidents ms Lowell. HAD
ley, Gilman and White, are amazed at
the statements made concerning the
! modern educational executive. ut Is a
safe generalization" the writer submits,
that in point Of fact the average or
university presidents fall short OF the
! average OF their academic stan in schol-
arly or scientific attainments.' Even
more amazing is the assertion That as
to the requirements of scholarly OF SCI
entiflc competency, a plausible speaker
with a large gift Of assurance, busi-
nesslike educator or clergyman. some
! urbane pillar OF society. some astute
/ veteran Of the scientific demi-monde.
! will meet oil reasonable requirements
/ Ono wonders where the writer Of SUCH
! stun as this has been hiding for the
[ past twenty years.
/ Our college and university admins
! tration Is not perfect. No one of any
t standing in the educational world has
! said that it is. On the contrary. articles,
pamphlets and books by the score have
been written calling attention to defci-
! encies in our present system and sug-
! gesting practicable means Of rcmedying
, them. But not until today have we be-
, held the spectacle OF a doctor OF philos-
! ophy. who presumably has attended COL
: lego somewhere. using up good ink and
! valuable print paper in an attempt to
convince the world that our system OF
| higher education Is rotten from the bot
tom up.
Fortunately the pcrpctrator OF this
attack Is hoist by his own petnrd. His
attempts at argument arc embodied In
such English as never was on land or
sea Whatever force n balanced, mod
crate, reasonable statement OF existing
faults might have had Is lost in wcltcr
I Of misstatcmcnts. false analogies and
, glaring pcrvcrsionH OF grammar and
rhetoric. Professor Brander Matthews
! WINS doubtless right when no suggested
| that tho author of this attack desires.
/ with O humor unrevealed elsewhere in
ht4 pages, to prortcr himself "a a hor-
! riblc example Of the deficiencies OF our
university instruction.

And love were like tho tune.

certain amount Of interest and
considerable amusement have been
called forth by n recently published at
tack on the administration of American
colleges and universities. There are
obvious reasons why the title and tnc
author Of the, publication should not De
given free advertising in these para
graphs, but it will be sufficient to state
the fact that the subtitle Of the work
is "A Memorandum on the Conduct OF
Universities by Business Men," We take
It that the subtitle Is designed. like the
bumblebee. TO carry q sting in It's tail.
President Butler Of the Columbia unr-
yersity has recently called attention 10
the saying Of Lord Melbourne that 1t IS
O bore to educate, a bore to be educat-
cd and bore to talk about education.
II Lord Melbourne had been. given an
opportunity to read the book in quos-
ton he would doubtless have addcd
land a bore TO read statements about
education written by one who Is not
sure of his facts" For this attack Is
as full Of inaccuracies as nut is OF
meat. Indeed. one reviewer goes 30 1ar
as to say :"I cannot now recall that
have ever read any book on any subject
in which there is amassed such a mess
Of miscellaneous mistnformation."
Since the author Is apparently IN
capable Of thinking clearly, and there
fore cannot write clearly. it Is very DIP
ficult to determine what his thesis
really is. But one gathers that nc has
two main grievances. In the first place.
he claims to believe that the trustees
Of American colleges and universities
arc wholly untitled to perform the du-
ties that are assigned to them under tho
statutes which dcfine their responsible
ties This arises, one infcrs, from the
fact that many Of the trustees arc bnsl-
ness men. The second complaint Is that
, the executive OF the average American
institution Of higher learning, whether
no Is called president, chancellor or
provost. is second only TO his governing
board in incfricency. TO quote the au-
thors exact words: "A person widely
convcrsant with current opinion and Its
expression among the personnel OF tho
staff might unguardcdly come TO tho
persuasion that tho typical academic
head, under these lated day conditions,
will be n fccble minded rogue"
1nasmuch' as success In business ar
fairs comes only by getting something
for nothing" the author is opposed TO
the selection Of business men for men,
bership in boards Of trustees. He even
suggests that there are certain boards
whose members mako personal pront
out OF the funds entrusted to their care

Leopard Cannot

Mr.. Dodson, the Liver Tone
Man, Tells the Treachery
of Calomel.

Calomel loses you a day. You
know what calomel is. It's mercury;
quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous.
1t crashes into sour bile like dyna-
mite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for a few cents large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel, 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up in
side, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t can not be
trusted any more than leopard or
wildcat. Take Dodson's Liver
Tone which Strengthens you right up
and makes you feel fine. Give it to
the children because it is perfectly
harmless and doesn't grippe.

France Need Not
Fear Bolshevisr1

PARIS, Dec. I've refuse to re-
nounce our right to revolution" said
Leon Blum, one of the socialist lead
ers, in an interview with the Havas
Agency today. "When shall we put
it into execution? Shall we be fore
ed by circumstances to take blunt
measures? The future will tell"
Blum is one of the few socialists
leaders to find seat in the newly
elected chamber of deputies
Unlike Paul Boncour, former min
lister of labor and leading member
of tie extremist party, who advocates
moderation Blum favors extreme
means by the socialists in order to
attain their ends,
Blum added that there need be no
further fear of bolshevism, which now
meant what radicslism meant in the
elections of 1872, no more and no
less, and served the same purpose,
which was the defeat of the working
classes.
