ranks, as they will always be those
who will never rise above their present
plane Of life; but that the students in
which the college should have vital
interest were those who are receiving
the high ranks in their several courses.
He stated that the best men in the COL
leges were not being pushed to their
limit Prof. Weber likened students
to ocean liners and tugs; saying that
some students are like tugs-they puff
and work hard all the time without &C
complishing anything useful; whereas
the liners, as soon as the tugs dropped
away, shook themselves and started
their ocean voyage under their own
power. He stated that the real test OF
a college education comes when the
VOYAGE of life begins and that some
will voyage forth like liners and others
like tugs. The world today needs lin
ers, not tugs, he stated. and that col
leges were not for the training OF tugs
but rather for liners, or men or in
tellect and capacity. Buzzing around
would never be the way in which TO
learn to gain capacity.
In closing his talk Prof. Weber quot
ed a short paragraph from the late
Theodore Roosevelt which might nave
been construed to have double mearn-
inig. The quotation was: II think

hardness of heart, and that is softness

entitled "a Gold Key or Gold Br1cK

ira curriculum work among the STU
dents. The article starts in by saying:

The author Of the pamphlet then
quotes extracts from a number OF col
lege magazines and speeches delivered,
all Of which carry the theme Of doing
away with student activities. The
pamphlet has an ending: rs your

PROF. WEBER ANSWERS
DR.. L|BbY'S DEFENSE
STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Prof. Carl ]. Weber Of the faculty
at Colby college answered the de-
tense Of student activities which DR..
Herbert c. Libby presented Friday,
| in an address at the chapel at Colby
college Saturday morning before
practically the entire student body of
| the Mems division. The talk was
| comparatively short but in the few
minutes that he spoke. the head of
the department Of English Literature
brought out his point of view in re-
gard to the curbing or doing away
with extra curriculum work which.
he claims. takes great deal of time
and affords the student practically
no benefit for the time and labor that
the student has put in.
Prof. Weber opened his talk by
saying that he did not believe that
| the chapel hour should be turned into
a debating session where the mem
bers of the faculty might argue their
differences Of opinion of the subject
under discussion. He then went on
to say that whatever his stand in the
matter of eliminating student activi-
ties, he seemed to be in very good
company. Prof. Weber took this
stand from the articles that were
published in the pamphlet by the
Colby chapter Of the Phi Beta Kappa
Society the last Of last week in which
the late Woodrow Wilson and other
authorities were quoted as being OPP
posed to the present student activi-
ties.
The speaker went on to quote the
case of the Colby freshman who was
quoted in the pamphlet as saying.
Il am SO rushed to death-morning
noon and night haven't time to
sit down and think" which DR.. Lib
sophisticated chap! He needs to
learn what any goth century fellow
has to learn; that is. sitting down
business is past. He declared that
it was absolutely essential that a
student sit down. to think and asked
the students IL they learned to think
standing up and whether or not a
student could think best while walk
ing down Main street or in the locked
seclusion Of his room with himself.
Great thinkers have always been
alone and have done all Of their
thinking out of great problems when
they were by themselves away from
the multitude. Prof. Weber brought
out the current cartoon which ap-
peared in a number of papers lately
Of President Coolidge sitting on a
fence rail and thinking what best
could be done to straighten out mat
tiers in Washington.
The speaker then asked those pres
emit what they would think II they
went to an eight o'clock class and
found that the professor had not pre-
pared his lecture because he had been
away the day before and had not had
time: then gone to the next class and
found a notice on the door saying
that the professor was out Of town
for several days: gone to still an
other class and found that during the
entire period the professor was busy
reading business letters and not lis
tening to the work Of the students.
He asked II the students would not
feel that they were being cheated
out Of their tuition and not receiving
their proper instruction.
According to Prof. Weber. there Is no
need Of the COLLEGE worrying about the
students who receive DIS and Els for
