to Judge by the vehemence with which they

Prof. Rogers gospel, as few of his critics
seemed TO be aware, suffers from the unique
disability to which all codes of sympathetic
magic are subject. If his students follow his
rules shave. change their linen and have FREE
Quent recourse to the tailor, they viii become
clean, presentable young men. They win not
necessarily become gentlemen.
If they take the attitude, as Prof. Rogers
suggests, that they are damned sight better
than other folks, they win not automatically
become members Of the privileged aristocracy,
though they may well become subjects of ridi-
Guile. II they neglect their brains and develop
their wills-and what college student ever re-
Quired the information that O second-claSa
brain Is quite good enough?-they are likely
to acquire infantile intelligence and unbridled

This Is q condition frequently to be found
among patients in psychopatilic wards: IL 10

belong" The disability to which his gospel
is subject In so very slight that Prof. Rogers
may be pardoned for having failed to observe

There Is no logical connection between the de-
sired result and the means proposed to acs

One obvious fact about the professors rules
OF conduct appears TO have escaped the attena
ton Of both his defenders and his critics. This
fact-and It Is not an unimportant one-is that
his rules operate from the outside inward.
