How Do You Judge
a University?

DY what standards do you
- measure the greatness of a
University?
BY its buildings? At four New
York University centers, strate-
gically located throughout the
city, you will find notable build
ings- some Of them most i'm
pressive and beautiful-devoted
to educational purposes.
But New York University is not
an institution abounding in
wealth, and it is less adequately
housed to-day than many an
other great university. 1t can
not fairly be judged by its
buildings.
BY athletic records? New York
University teams have played
their part in football, baseball,
basketball, and other sports. In
some instances they have won
highest amateur hopors, and in
general they command the re-
spect of worthy antagonists.
But large proportion of New
York University'c 10000 stu
dents are in the professional
schools and their studies or
other duties prevent extensive
participation in intercollegiate
sports. Athletics at New York
University are an imperfect in
dex of its scholastic work.
BY its faculty and graduates?
Yes, emphatically. The roll Of
New York University contains
famous names: the names OF
men in high governmental and
judicial positions; great physi-
clans and surgeons; artists and
authors; teachers and engi-
neers; clergymen and scholars
executives of banks, industries
and commercial houses. We are
glad to be judged by our men.
But New York University is
comparatively young. More
than half its graduates have been
out less than IS years. Their
achievements-great though they
are-give only promise Of the
greater achievements to come.
But we must 60 still further.
1t is not by buildings nor by
athletics, neither is it by the
records of individual men alone,
that a university should be
judged, but by the extent and
value of the human service which
it renders on the higher levels Of
efficiency and distinction. And
such human service is something
that can be measured only by
those who have intimate knowl-
edge of all the work the university
carries on.
In these talks / am seeking to
give some conception of the
breadth and depth Of New York
University's human service.

The Erening Telegram "An achieve
ment seldom seen on the screen.
Any one who likes a good story Of
melodrama, should not miss the
chance Of seeing it. One would
think after seeing the screen ver-
sion, that way back in 1860, Dick
ems had in mind the adaptation of
his novel to the films, for it fits to
the screen as well, if not better,
than the book.
