Rogers of Massachusetts Tech Insists Good Front and Bluff Brings Success in Life.

Boston, June WEThe necessity of snobbishness, . doctrine enun- ciated by Professor Robert Emmons Rogers of Massachuetts Institute Of Technology in an address before the members of the graduating class. was under vigorous debate here to- day.
 VIII Not Retract
 While the professor from his home at Rockport declared he had not . word to retract of his admit tedly unorthodox speech Saturday night. and even strengthened his views in certain particulars. others took up the issue with expressions that ranged all the way from frank approval to emphatic dissent.
 "Be 8 snob." Prof. Rogers told the seniors. You will find 1t ii just as easy to marry the boss daughter as the stenographer. Dress, speak and act like gentleman and you will be surprised at the amount of murder you can get away with.
 Never buy suit of clothes un- less you can get an extra pair of trousers. Keep one suit of clothes pressed every week. Never buy shoes unless you buy shoe trees for them. Keep them shined, shave yourself and never wear the same collar at night which you wear all day"
 Uses Harvard as Example Harvard, he declared. has receiv- ed more publicity and money than any other American university be- cause Harvard has never stopped ] putting up front, never gives in never argues, blandly going on ita way"
 Among those who rallied to Prof Rogers support was Miss Ada Louise Comstock, president of Rad cliffe college. T believe Prof. Ro- gers was using the word snob in the better sense, or at least in an unus. ual sense," she said.
 ITO me it appear that he wishei the young men of Technology tt cultivate the virtue of snobbishnesl and if it means self-respect. higl standards and dressing neatly. ther I quite agree with him."
 Dr. T. Lawrence Davis, dean O the College of Practical Arts ant Letters of Boston university. declar ed he believed the dictum sound but President Marsh of the univer sity declined to comment. Former Mayor James M. Curley asserted Prof. Rogers had advocated Vt strange precept, a doctrine agains which the colonials fought in 177l 1.-the divine right of certain individ uals to constitute themselves a rul ing class"
