SUIT TO SET ASIDE
RIO aRANDE SALE

Charging that the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad was wrecked by the
unlawful action in interlocking direc-
crates, John l.. Webster, Nebraska at
torney, will intervene in the United
States District Court in st. Louis Fri
day, in an effort to restore the Rio
Gande to its former independent stat
us, involving the cancellation of the
recent sale of the property under fore
closure here.
! He also will seek the restitution of
Nat least S50,OOO,oOO TO the treasury of
the Rio Grande.
One point upon which Mr.. Webster
will make his plea is that the statutes
of the United States prohibit inter
locking directorates, and that the trou-
bles OF the Denver & Rio Grande orig
iuated N the mtorlJcking directorates
OF the Missouri Pacific, the Rio GraIde
and the Western Pacific railroads, and
that all of the contracts made by those
directors, including the guarantee CT
the old Western Pacific bonds, which
caused the foreclosure of the Rio
Grande, were fraudulent.
Legal notice of the purpose to start
his action was served upon the general
officers of the railroad company in Den
,nI 10 nl1
pany of New York, holders OF the .udg
ment of $3S, 100000, yesterday.
According to Mr.. Webster, if his con
tentions are upheld, the Rio Grande will
be returned to the stockholders intact.
Furthermore, says Mr.. Webster,
''the Rio Grande will be freed from
the contracts which its interlocking di-
rectors entered into, and which, in our
opinion, caused the wrecking of the
road. till further, somebody will have
to refund pile of money to the Rio
Grande.
when / say that one item alone is
$50,00O000.

the Western Pacific which the Rio
Grande guaranteed.

ket $S,0O0,O00.
''The concern which bid in the road
secured the property for nothing and
got $3,OO0,00O for taking it.
''They got more than $6O,0O0,Oo0 for
$5,OOQ,OO0. All this l will attempt to
show in atfidavits which l will file with
the court in st. Louis next Friday.
The Equitable Trust Company of
New York had judgment of $3S,000,

This contract was made by the in

Student self;government in the modern
system of higher education is the secret of
success in the administration of the Amer
lean college to-day. The degree of self
government now exercised was undreamed
of three generations ago. This is strik-
ingly illustrated by copy which l was
able to secure of the Union College cata-
logue for 1885, "The government" accord

courses. Ours is a sailing voyage too"
All sorts of people have applied for per-
mission to accompany Dr. Freeburg, ranging
from laundresses in Germany to operatic
barytones in America. Some of the success
full writer's who had applied had never been
aboard sailing vessel, and some Of the
applicants who could offer mariners licenses
were a bit weak on spelling.
However, between such extremes there
was a lot of attractive material available.
But the directors of the company are taking
their time about selecting shipmates, as the
schooner cannot get under way until late in
November.
The ships work will be so organized that,
except in case Of emergency. no man will
have more than one four hour watch out
of every twelve hours while at sea, and when
in port each man will have three days out
of every four entirely to himself. This will
give ample time for literary and artistic
production. Dr. Freeburg insisted, however.
that the cruise was not to be bound by any
very severe rules.

the calendar" he said. I'VE shall merely
ramble along until we strike something that
puts us in the mood for writing or painting.

and to pay the author or artist so to 70 per

"Then you are not making contracts with
publishers Aim exchanges &c. ?" was the in
terruption, to which Dr. Freeburg answered
that he would have to retract part of what
he had just said. because the company had
two or three tentative orders which would
probably have to be filed.

With some such question in mind a re-
porter went to the National Arts Club to
call on DIR. Victor o. Freeburg, president Of
a company formed to cruise around the
world in search of material for articles,
books, paintings, sketches and motion pic
lures. 1t had been rumored that the plan
was to outfit an old schooner for this ro-
mantle quest, and that the vessel was to be
captained by an ex-college professor and
manned entirely by writer's and artists.

porter. But he changed his mind after an
hours talk with the skipper Ph d.

No Snug Satisfaction
Among College Heads

"The critics of colleges" DR.. Richmond
continued, need not suppose for a moment
that we look upon ourselves with any feel
ing Of SNUG satisfaction. But those who
know college life best agree in the judg-
ment that the heart of the college is sound.
Undergraduate public opinion on questions
of major Importance is all right. The col
lege man stands for clean morality, honor
able and just dealing between man and
man, love of country and devotion to her
noblest ideals.
"At no time In the history of colleges has
the devotion of the undergraduate to his
college been so marked as 1t is to-day. He
does not burst into tears when the subject
of graduation is mentioned, as seniors are
said to do at certain sister institution.
tears when he is told that he cannot be
graduated, but that Is another story"
What now is the ultimate goal toward
which college education should be directed,
what is the chief purpose of university
life what is the ideal type Of graduate
which the college is aiming to producer"
This was the final question put to the
president of Union. 1t seemed to have
struck particularly responsive chord, for

Interesting aspects of the higher education
problem and one on which THE HERALp's
discussion has brought forth the greatest
variety of answers. Dr. Richmond is Pc
ouliarly fitted to discuss the social side Of

mother of the college fraternity The ma

Another difficulty we have to contend
with is the multiplicity of outside activi-

have distinct value, but they are terrible
absorbers of time and energy, and some Of
them are absurdly overdone. Playing jazz

"The social life of the colleges is to-day
cleaner and more wholesome" DR.. Rich
mond replied. Interest in athletics has
helped to make it so. The influence of
fraternities ip college life may sometimes
be harmful, but l have no hesitation in
saying that at Union this influence is upon
the whole beneficial. / came to Union
with some preiudices against them. Prince
ton, my own Alma Mater had abolished
fraternities early in the sos. Since then
she has developed the club system, which.
in my judgment, has no advantage over
the fraternity. In any community there is
sure to be a natural grouping Like will
seek like. My experience for the last twelve
years at Union Has taught me to believe
that fraternities, rightly managed, may be
a help in creating democratic atmosphere
and can be used by the administration for
the encouragement of scholarship and the
strengthening of character.
THE Supervision exercised by an upper
classman over the under classman in the
fraternity houses has been of the greatest
value. Excepting in rare instances, he is
their friend and helper; sometimes even
a benevolent despot: for however little a
senior may enjoy studying himself he
takes infinite pleasure in making fresh
man study"
Would Cut Out as Nuisance
The Rich Students Auto
Upon the whole, Dr. Richmond believes
that the life in the modern American col
lege Is healthy and stimulating full OF
hope and activity and fairly we'll directed
effort. But here, as on the purely educa-
tional side, he sees the problems and diff
culties and has the courage to expose them.
Two of the worst enemies Of undergradu
ate life, says DR.. Richmond, are the in
dulgent parent and the automobile of
which he remarks
"The indulgent parent we always have
had to contend with--the automobile is
more modern nuisance. 1t is an impedi-
ment to study and a perambulating moral
peril A college official recently told mo
that he never knew freshman who came

mand that money shall not be wasted in
attempting to do things which a college
is in no position to do great unver-
sity with thousands of students and
wide range of courses has its own advan-
tages of course But the smaller college
also has advantages of it's own.
AT Union we are committed to the ex.
pertinent of limiting our numbers. We
think that college community of between
six and seven hundred is about the limit
II we are to retain the value of intimate
association which many of us regard as
the best asset of the college, Personal and
reasonable supervision is pretty difficult
when that number is exceeded. We have
already reached that limit at Union and
have been obliged this year to restrict the
number of freshmen. Following this gen
eral policy we believe a strict limitation
in the subjects taught is wise and even
necessary Every college cannot teach
everything We do not mean to teach
anything that we cannot teach WE'LL"
Before turning from the problems which
confront university education on the
strictly academic side DR.. Richmond ex-
pressed himself fully satisfied neverthe-
less that to-day there is more work and
better work" done in the American college
than at any period of it's existence. Stu
dents, he said must know more to get in
and must work harder to STAY in.
