methods, with colleges at the head.
1t is they that make of us average
men," clerks who can push a pencil
all day without batting an eye.
Their only distinction is the fact that
they are ''swell' dressers, know the
"niftiest" in musical comedies, and
the batting averages of the Gopher
Prairie baseball teams.
And it is for this sort of thing that
we Jews are condemned to make a
fight. What tragedy! On what
piffle the human race in general and
we Jews in particular are forced to
spend our energies! But the earnest
Jewish young man and woman in
dividually need not worry, so long
as there are large public libraries in
every city. Let him put half the
time and the patient work in libra
ries and he will gain double the edu-

A FAIR ARTICLE

The article by Ralph Philip Boas
entitled "Who Shall Go to College?"
in the current number of the Atlantic
Monthly is an exceptionally fair
presentation of various aspects of the
question raised by the attempt of
the Harvard university authorities to
put the admission of Jewish students
on the plane originally fixed by such
centers of enlightenment and sweet
reasonableness as Russia, Poland and
Hungary Whilst we have in the past
disagreed with Mr.. Boas in dealing
with his writings on Jewish questions
in the Atlantic Monthly, we are
pleased to commend the evident spirit
of fairness to all interests concerned
in this article. Mr.. Boas, who we
believe is of Jewish origin, is head
of the English Department in the
English High School at Springfield,
Massachusetts. He comedies the
validity of the contention that intel
lectual merit should be the test of
admission for all students in colleges
and universities. but is unduly inn
pressed with the argument as to the
outstanding Importance Of social
considerations in endowed colleges.
He also overlooks the consideration
that the exemption from taxation
which these colleges enjoy, as well
as the state appropriations or other
public benefits which some of them
receive, makes it necessary for the
governing body to pay some attention
to the opinion of well-informed peo-
pie in matters connected with any
general policy. Mr.. Boas forcibly
stresses the fact that the proponents
of the policy Of exclusion are bound
to lose more than they will gain,
and aptly concludes as to the Jews
who want to go to college: eff only
the Jews would be content with medi-
ocrity the Jewish problem might
automatically disappear" - Jewish

Isaac Guggenheim, head of the
family famous in the mining and
smelling world, died suddenly in
London, Eng, last Wednesday. He
was born in Philadelphia in 1854.
He was a director in many copper
and mining companies and was a
member of the Lawyers and Lotus
clubs of New York city. Mr.. Gug-

titled with any of our Jewish insti-

Ster loose IN library Tor four years
the length of the usual college
course-and a hundred to one, he
will not only be more original in
dividual than the college bred man,
but will actually know more facts.
And what he will know will be of
value to him and to the world, not
dates when His Majesty So and So
was born. 1t is true, one of the
innumerable host of men who have
received their education in this man
ner, Robert Browning, always re-
gretted the fact that he had not re-
ceived a college education. But the
world would have had occasion to
regret a great deal more if he had.
And after all, individually, college is
much like marriages.: Those who are
in it regret that they are not out of
it; and those who are out of it regret
that they are not in it.
The Open World comes next.
Books will soon teach yOungster
left to his own resources that the
mystery of things is not outside of
things but inside of them. He will
therefore learn to look at reality
with open eyes. And what marvels
are to be found in the simple things
around us! An ordinary thimble-
full of dirt contains more marvels
than all the dreams of the metaphy-
sician, the mystic who refuses to rec
ognize the wonders of the things
around us. The vast majority of the
work done at college, especially the
cultural work, consists of thinking
of mystery behind things, not in
them. The Middle Ages, the most
ignorant dead that ever lived, are
still shaping our education.
These two constitute the college
through which every man and wom-
an, Jew or non-Jew, must pass,
whether he has a college education
or motif he means to do something
with his education beside brag about
it and overawe the simple minded.
Every man who has done something
in this world, whether he has painted
or carved, dreamed or thought, had to
put in many hard years in a library.
Even the most Ignorant" of them
your Gorkys, your Jack Londons,
your Whitmans, your Mark Twains-
did not escape this part of their edu-
cation. Neither did the most edu
Gated ones escape it. The absurdity
that you can get an education by
having college professor do it for
you, is of piece with the absurdity
that you can buy health from the
doctor.
But the college professor of the
old school will argue that this is a
form of education suitable only for
the exceptional man. Granted. But
everybody is an exceptional man.
There are no averages. I know I am
an exceptional man. Are you not?
You may tell me no. But deep in
side Of you you feel-and rightly so
that there is not another man like
you, and that you are the most mar
velous being ever created. The man
who makes you believe otherwise is
a liar and, worse, does not know
what is most significant in man. You

BY HERMAN JACOBSOIIN

attend prescribed number of lee
lures, pass a given number of ex-
aminations, and you are educated for
life. Nothing is farther from the
truth. In fact, every truly educat-
ed man, whose education has gone
beyond the passive state, knows that
the college man who has managed to
do anything at all with his educa-
ton, has done it with the education
he has acquired after he left college
almost never on the education he
has gotten in college. The reason
colleges are so popular is the fact
that one may get the reputation of
being a learned man without being
compelled to do the work,-the ter
rible, almost superhuman tolls, that
real education demands, s,-because
uninformed or misinformed people
think that they can get the reputa-
tion of learned men without paying
the price. And one must grant that
they succeed admirably.
OF course, for the young man too
wealthy to have to work, for the
young man who wants to qualify for
membership in the university club,
or wants to get in "good society,""
college is the ideal place. All he has
to do is pay his fee regularly, be
re.dy at all time to paint the town
red or raise rumpus with the yokels
in the 'neighborhood when the "frats"
decide upon it. But I am not ad-
dressing my self to this sort of young
man. He will succeed without my
advice. But the young man who feels
yearning, hankering, restless
ness to carve, to sing, to mould,
to widen the horizon of human in
telligence, to fathom the mysteries
of life and love, to comprehend the
awful majesty of the universe around
us-no matter how faint and nebu-
lous these divine cravings be-need
not think it misfortune to be ex-
cluded from college. The intellec-
tual, moral, and aesthetic leaders of
the human race have never exclu-
sively been picked from among COL
lege men. The Isaiahs, the Homers,
the. Shakespeares, the Walt Whit
mans, the Mark Twains, the Dreisers,
the Shaws, the Gorkys, had never
seen the inside Of a college till they
were too old to be harmed by it.
Such men as Tolstoi, Verdi, Zola,
Balzac were such hopeless academic
failures that they can scarcely be
counted among college men. Even
in such specialized work as modern
physics and astronomy. the foremost
leader of our day, DR.. Einstein, was
tolerated in college only because the
boy had set his mind upon being a
high school teacher, and some of the
professors knew that it would break
his heart to be sent home.
The Jewish boy or girl to whom
is a serious business must
learn that real education is no more
to be had in colleges than health is
to be had in medical offices. 1t is
far more difficult. Real education is
to be had in these two places: Libra
ries and the Open World. Libraries
contain the accumulation of all the
greatest and grandest thoughts of
the whole human race; and an ac-
luaintance with them-a thorough
one-is the greatest educative factor
known. The only laudable point

Is the Harvard Scandal Misfortune?


No reader of the Jewish press
needs be told Of the Harvard scan
dal. It is too we'll known by this
time to require comment or elucida-
ton. Even non-Jews agree that it
is to find match only in czarism.
We all know that it is slur upon
us, stain upon our honor, and must
be fought tooth and nail.
But in the heat of battle a phase
of the problem is being overlooked
and rightly so-which is none the
less of supreme Importance to the
Jewish student himself. To us Jews
as whole the Importance of the
problem centers about the question,
Shall we be excluded from the
higher institutions of learning, and
ultimately perhaps even from the in
termediate and elementary schools,
merely because Providence thought
it best to mould us in particular
form? But to the individual stu
dent. the problem is, Is a college edu-
cation worth fighting for? ~
At first blush there is but one an
sWer. You might as well ask the
African savage whether it is worth
dying for his wooden god. But
thoughtful men and women, especial
ly thoughtful educators, have long
since questioned the, worth of col
lege education. The only man who
is dead sure about it's marvellous
values is the man who knows moth
ing about education in general and
colleges in particular.
Thoughtful men and women have
long since pointed out that college
education is apt to commit-and in
variably does commit-the most hei-
nous of all crimes against the in.
dividual: 1t effaces his individuali-
ty, the choicest and the most valu
able possession of man, which, ac-
cording to Bergson, is the supreme
aim of all life on earth.
Next to it is the fact that col
leges, to use a homely figure, are
feeding all their charges from the
same trough, irrespective of individ-
ual needs, inclinations, and disposi-
tions The poet and the bricklayer
are fed on the same pabulum, with
the result that the poet-if he does
not escape in time-is broken into
a bum" bricklayer, and the perfect
ly good bricklayer is broken into
rotten poet The natural prima-don-
ma is broken away from her inclina-
tion till she becomes a second rate
kitchen scrubber, and the born kitch-
en- scrubber is forced to render
grand opera. Natural dog catchers
are turned into governors of states,
and governors of states are turned
into clerks of the dog-catcher gov
ernors. The tragedy of it is so i'm
mense, so ALIEN mbracing for the in
dividual young man that it is
immeasurable.
Most men are about as deluded
about the efficacy of college educa-
tion as they are about their personal
well-being They think that all one
has to do to keep well is to visit
the doctor frequently; whereas in
reality the reverse is the truth. An
old Greek philosopher was once asked
by a doctor how he had managed to
grow so old. The reply was: "Be-
cause I have never patronized you"
With respect to education, most peo-
pie especially those who don't
think at all-that all one has to do
