made a good deal OF progress in get
ting students in contact with their
professors. That is not wholly an
expensive thing to do, but 1t costs
something, because you have got to
get more men in contact with them.
Now you know perfectly we'll what

lot OF private dormitories, and you

Of those private dormitories you know
you did not have a chance to get into
the best clubs, and there was a fancy
price, the same as for living in fash
ionable portion of the town. We did
not think that was healthy and conse-
quently we set up freshmen halls.
Well, now, / think we want to extend
that all through the college. One
other great point was this: that the
students themselves went into the
yard In their senior year. We ought
to be able to house all our men. Mind
you, all the other institutions In this
country have learned that same fact

the attitude of the university toward
its students. One Of them is the
method which reached it's height per-
haps and is best typihed to most peo-
pie in Germany-that the university
offers the opportunities for instruction.
The student takes advantage of those
II he pleases. If he does not please,
he need not do so. But, as to the pri-
vate morality of the student or his
attitude toward life in general. that
is none OF the business of the univer-
sity at all. no more the business Of the
university than the private morals or
the attitude toward life Of the pas
sengers travelling on It's trains are the
business of a railroad company. 1t
merely offers them the opportunities,
saying. in effect, Take 1t. If you
please, it is name Of our business who
you are or how you behave That
was the Germans method. The other
method OF looking at the relation OF
the university to it's students has been
the English one-where they always
have felt that the formation Of char

duty of the university. think after
this war that most OF us prefer the

in he broke down the barriers that the
little prep school cliques raised about
themselves.
That blow at Harvard democracy
was rendered impotent by the simple
expedient of considering individually
each coming freshman's application
for rooms in the new dormitories. The
boy about TO enter Harvard and de-
string to live In the dormitories down
on the Charles River looks over the
pamphlet containing the floor plans of
the halls. He selects his room. He
dominates second choice and like
wise a third. All the applications are
thrown into a. hat. and a person un-
concerned with the result draws them
forth. Each applicant is compelled
to abide with selections thus made

and other Belgravian dormitories over
on Mount Auburn street. And that
prejudice Is being dispelled only
gradually. AS a matter Of fact snob-
berry has no more prominent place in
Harvard than It has in the smallest
and most obscure college in America
In any college you'll find "muckers."
1t has remained for A Lawrence
Lowell. president of Harvard Univer-
sity. to eliminate from Harvard those
remaining traces of the heritage be-
queathed the university by the Gold
Coast. DIR. Lowell has In speech and
pamphlet set forth his ideas for the
democratization of the student body,
and 1t is with this plan that we have
to deal.
-Four years ago the freshman DOR
mitories were built down on the brim
OF the Charles River. They were the
Smith Halls. Standish Hall and Gore
Hall. Their combined capacities Just
about accommodated the normal fresh

Of the world. the kind of desire to do
your duty in life and to do something
that was worth while. the kind OF
sense of public responsibility, response
bility for those about you. for the col
lege and all that, was very important
matter for us to look into. Now, that
costs money. You say to me, How
does 1t cost money! Well, 1t costs a
great deal of money because you have
got to produce the atmosphere. and
you have got to get a great many
more men to work on it.
There are two methods of treating
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-10-05

sentatives of as many preparatory
schools as there are rooms.
These freshman halls cost the Har-
ward University Corporation nearly
S1,500.000. Their completion and the
general appeal of Dr. Lowell for a
greater democracy saw the dissolu-
ton of the Gold Coast as a Harvard
institution. OF the Mount Auburn
dormitories Hampden, Randolph and
West Morley are now apartment
houses occupied by families. There
are still one or two of the old sump-
tuous student homes occupied by up
per classmen, but they are doomed to
follow the path of the three above
named.
DIR. Lowell hopes to extend his plan
of student body democracy throughout
the four classes by the expenditure
OF something like 100000 for dorrni-
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-10-05

$3.50; room, s35 to s45. These figures
do not. Of course, cover the many
other charges that student is certain
to meet-for books. clothing, station
cry. laundry. laboratory fees and light.
But that's aside from the point.
When these freshman dormitories
were opened there existed a tendency
that was OF itself blow at the very
thing that DIR. Lowell was combating.
There would be. for example. dozen
st. Paul School or Groton lads booked
for Harvard. They made early appli-
cation for rooms in a certain dormi-
tory. They'd pull every wire and play
every trick to cling together as they
had in prep. They'd try to sign up
for a single entry or corridor SO that
there'd be Groton row. an Exter
row. a St. Paul row and so on. In
other words that very olannishness

N ECALL for q moment your

had decided that you were going to
Harvard. Well assume for the sake
of that which follows herein that your
father was not wealthy man; that
putting you through college meant
that he would have to speed up work
at the factory or the Office or the
works or whatever It was that pro-
duced his income. and that without his
exactly saying so you had absorbed the
fact that it was up to you to gain a
college education at as little expense
as was compatible with comfort and
completeness.
Or maybe it was necessary that YOU

could contribute almost enough to pay
your tuition fees, your board at Cam |
bridge and your incidental and neces-
sary bills But it would be necessary
that you either hustle for a bit of
extra money or struggle along with
out certain things that contribute so
largely to the full measure of college
life. not negligible contribution to
college education.

For the time being we shall disre-
gard that excellent example of Ameri-
man manhood-the chap who works
his own way through college. He is a
story in himself. We are concerned
chiefly with The son of the salaried
man or of the man of small business.
You will remember that out OF your
classmates in. prep there were boys
who had decided to enter Pennsylva-
MIA, Yale, Princeton. Amherst, Dart
mouth, Michigan and so on. They
looked at your Harvard prospects bit
askance. There was no doubt in their
minds that Harvard would provide
for you as complete and well turned
an education as you could get on either
side of the Atlantic, But it's likely
that few of them boys destined for
smaller colleges-came to you and said
In substances:
Harvard Oh, yes; maybe you'll
get more stuff at Harvard than I'll get
at Siwash, but where does poor man
get off at Harvard? A fine time you'll
have amongst that bunch OF snobs-
If yI1 don't live down on Mount Au-
burn street and can't have your own
motor car you'll have a fine lonely
time unless you want TO run around
with a bunch of muckers and syco-
plants"
OF course you went to Harvard
anyway and you proved to your own
satisfaction and the satisfaction OF all
concerned that your traducer Of Har-
ward was all wrong; that the Gold
Coast students were so tremendously
In the minority that they really had
no effect upon Harvard life; that Har-
yard gave the poor student just as
much chance as it did the plutocratic
dweller within the Gold Coast: that

But the point Is that such was Har-

boy from some small school in the

resentative of his school at Harvard

that left him almost ostracised unless

desirable method of ruthless butting

Now, this is no new problem to us
who have been Connected with the col
lege for years. We have seen this all
along. We have seen all along what
the result of the German system was.
Bismarck used to say that in the Ger
man university one-third of the men
drank themselves to death, one-third
died of overwork, and the other third
ruled Europe. I don't think that at
the present time we have any interest

Now that is what We have got to
do. We had seen for long time that
we have got to consider the character
Of our young men as an important
part of what we do for them. We
don't merely furnish opportunity; we
furnish the inducement to take ad-
vantage OF that opportunity and the
inducement to do your duty all the
rest of your life. 1t seems to me that
that is the little function of the uni
versity toward its student, and more
especially toward its undergradu-
ates, for two reasons: In the first
place, because the undergraduates are
at a more impressionable age; sec
ondly, because it is not easy to do,
because you have not the professional
motive in an absorbing degree which
you have in your professional schools
as a whole.
How will you produce it? In vari-
Gus ways. There are two important
things: One is to get your students
together in such a way that they rec
ognize their duty toward one an
other; and you must get them in con-
tact with your professors in such a
way that the direct influence can be

of yesteryear are proud lot right
now with the first month Of the ma
jor league season concluded.
Apparently the White Sox and the
Giants have forgotten all about last
years war, baseball and their mis-
fortune The 1917 champs in both
leagues are breezing along at great
clip and their veteran stars are CIV
ing evidence Of general rejuvenation.
Eddie Cicotte's return to form may
mean that the Sox are as serious PEN
nant possibilities as they were two
years ago. Swede Risberg's great
improvement at short is another rea
son for the Sox' fine start
The Giants are playing with the
dash of youngsters. The critics that
called McGraw's crowd too old and
too temperamental, are silent just
now. Chase apparently has begun
to hit. Pitchers not figured to aid
the Giants are going at top speed.
Perritt and Schupp are about ready
to have trial.
Dopesters around these parts are
tremendously impressed by the early
season showing of the former cham
pion clubs.
