He proceeded to question the value

ton.
America is trying to be a democ-
racy but doesn't know how to be a

to talk about myself" President
Meiklejohn said.
u came here II years ago with
very high purposes and with great
encouragement. l remember seeing
II or 13 years ago a report of your
class of 'S5 in which they defined the
ideals and purposes of a college as
they saw it. l didn't know then
where Amherst was but l said to a
friend Wouldn't you like to get hold
Of college like that? Don't you
think it has in it the possibility Of
something? In a couple of years l
was here. Well. I have had try at

what ought to be done. ! was told
by trustees to try, to change the
place as we'll as to keep it going and
l have tried to do 1t, so far as my
part is concerned.
Now l am stopping not because
the venture is bad in my own opin-
ion but because the trustees and
faculty are not able or willing to
support me in it any Ionger-and
l think they ought to- must speak
frankly. I think they are. making
educationally a very bad mistake.
think they ought to stand by the
venture as they promised to stand
lO years ago. I am terribly sorry,
not in personal way. that it is not
going on as we had hoped it would.
l also think that there is a differ
ence Of opinion and since they think
1t is better that I should not stay I
am willing to go and do something
else.
Now let me say Just a word Of
what it means in wider terms. The
point is I am a minority man. I
am always writing change. am

Now from that point Of view I
am amazed that the thing has lasted
as long as 1t has expect to be in

Il am a believer in democracy,

tons of learning should be in che

death. I believe in setting learning
apart from life and keeping 1t there
that 1t may be pure and true and
clean and free. l don't want insti-
tutions devoted to learning mixed
up with doing.
Il say the greatest danger to the
American college today Is that it
will be drawn into the common life
and will take the standards of our
common life as it's own. rejoicing in
being like other men. rather than
with the necessary difference which
every scholar has with every man
who is not q scholar.
Being in the majority, men of
Amherst, may I say l am going be-
cause you think l ought not to be
here. I go somewhere else. I don't
know where, but am going in the
same way"
1--WE have not found out yet how
john continued. 1--WE still have
trustees. And | am sure that when
we have found out how to run col
leges we won't have trustees.
Trustees do not know what is going
on, not because they are not intelli-
gent, but because they are busy do
ing something else. Hence you have
colleges run by trustees, you must
have them run by men who do not
know what is going on in the COL
leges.
I am in a dilemma with regard to
the faculty. I believe the college
should be controlled by its faculty,
with the president an officer of the
faculty.
1.-THE thing ] was commissioned to
do when I came here, the only thing
worth doing, was to try to change the
faculty for the better in terms of
personnel, In terms of teaching
methods, in terms of course Of
study"
MAY I say it is going to be a very
hard thing to improve our faculty.
1.-THE faculty find it exceedingly
difficult to improve themselves and
they find it exceedingly Objectionable
to have any one else do it to them.
Now it is essential that they be
changed. Now 1 tell you that 1t is a
tragic thing to see faculty growing
old without knowing il and resentinS
the coming in of younger men and
younger methods and new institu-
tons which they need to keep itself
alive.
I havee been in the past as you have
been in the past to me. I differ
from most Of You on most of the is
sues of life and I'm going to keep it
up"
