SENATOR DESCRIBES
COLLEGE FUNCTION
Should Teach Students to Think,
Says Metcalf, Addressing Brown
University Alumni.

II believe that our institutions of
learning should be to train the mind
to think and not to impart the par
ticular and possibly peculiar ideas of
the man at the head or the pro-
fessors then at the college," said Sem
ator Jesse II. Metcalf of Rhode
Island last evening to the Brown
University Alumni Associa ton, which
held its annual dinner at Wardman
Park Hotel.
Senator Metcalf said that in re-
Spouse to a query from the presi-
dent of a large educational institu-
ton he had given replies to several
questions on the subject of char
acter and reviewing his impressions
as to moral and religious training, he
said:
mo student can expect to succeed
in life If he has not character, and
that means honesty, courage and in
dustry. 1 consider moral and re-
ligious training a necessary basis for
the best development of character.
This training should be started at
home and in the church, but there
should be no religious training at the
school. If | were the head of a large
institution, | should be well content
were my graduates tolerant, kind,
charitable and reasonable; honest,
faithful, truthful and honorable; am
bilious, hopeful, purposeful, inspired
and unafraid.
IF they had these qualities of char
acter and knew not one word OF
lesson, they nevertheless, would enter
the world as real men, destined for
success in life" .....
Another senatorial guest Of the
club was Senator Fred NJ. Sackett OF
Kentucky, q Brown man. while the
club was also host to Prof. Walter G.
Bronson. representing the university,
and several fathers of undergraduates
attending the institution from Wash.
ington, including r. III. McNally, H.
II. Hodges, Z. X. Carpenter, r. r.
Mackenzie, F. M. Flint and B.. Lv-
ingston. ..
Senator Sackett 1auded the work OF
the University of Louisville. which.
he said. had advanced under the lead
ership of a Brown man, and Prof.
Bronson, in addition to reporting
notable growth at Brown during the
past year, gave some interesting word
pictures of famous professors and
presidents at that institution.
