EDUCATION IS UP TO
Student, HADLEY SAYS
College Is Simply What
People Make 1t, According
to Former Yale Head

New Haven, March 8.-Dr. Arthur
7. Hadley, president emeritus of Yale
in a lecture in Battell chapel today
on "the true purpose and value of
a college education" says that the
college course is not what the grad
yates or professors make it, but what
the students make it." The lecture
was required one for freshmen.
"The distinctive purpose of the
American college has been training of
citizens for the exercise of civil lib
erty," he said.
Every man has two sets of duties
to society; his private duties as an
honest and efficient businessman and
his public duties as member of a
self governing commonwealth. For
the former he requires the college
education. If the latter, he requires
liberal education. Up to certain
point the two go together.
According to the relative value
which a nation sets on technical eff
ficiency and on civil liberty its uni
yersities will be groups of profession
al schools like those of Germany, or
groups of colleges like those of Eng
land. The German boy goes directly
from the tutelagc of the high school
to the freedom of the professional
school; the English or American boy
goes from school to college where he
can continue school studies in an
university atmosphere and be grad
ually trained for the exercise OF civil
liberty--a liberal education in the
original and true sense of the word.
1T does not make nearly so much
difference with the training for citi-
zenship what subjects are taught, in
the curriculum as how they are
taught.
After all has been done that grad
uates and faculty can do, the main |
for their own education |
rests upon the students. You cannot |
train man for liberty by keeping
him in leading strings. The college
course is not what the graduates or
the professor make IL, but what the
make it. and what the stu
tents make it depends on what they
put into It,"
