II we keep in mind the common facts
fact that our universities, private or
public, are never sufficiently endowed,
and that it Is part of the presidents
business to solicit annually the support
which his university needs; If we re-
member that the benefactors who con-
tribute this support are almost certain
not to be scholars by profession. and
perhaps lack sympathy with some i'm
portant scholarly ideals; il we remem-
Der that the contributions from the
alumni usually come on a wave of emo
ton which no one wishes to stem. but
which sometimes is hard to direct; then
we can see that the administrator of
great university must steer between two
rocks. He can fail most obviously by
not keeping the confidence Of the bene
factors; sometimes by not winning the
confidence of his faculty. Or he can fail
ironically by getting such warm-hearted
and misdirected support as will petrify
his university for generations.
Inc petruylng, Wnen IL occurs, usually
shows in the architecture. It seems
fairly easy to persuade people to give
buildings to university, and If large
number of buildings are given at any
one time they are likely to be uniform
and handsome architecturally and they
are practically certain to embody the
educational ideals which at the moment
prevail.
The more beautiful the buildings the
more difficult it will be to adapt them to
any later educational ideas. The classic
illustrations are Oxford and Cambridge.
Those two divine universities were so
perfectly incorporated in their architec-
ture centuries ago that their architec-
ture has controlled their educational
practice ever since, and will probably
control it always. It is vain to have
any modern educational ideas in oxford
and Cambridge An extraordinarily
large number of residents there do de-
velop the most advanced educational
ideas, probably as reaction to the ter
rife impact of the medieval architecture.

and yet all, measured against the tradi-
ton of university presidents, quite
young.
DR.. Conant, like President Eliot, is a
chemist He is known to the world Of
science for his work in the field of plant
chemistry. DR.. Dodds, formerly pro-
lessor of politics at Princeton. has
services to certain Central American
governments and to the State Of New
Jersey. He organized the recent report
dealing with the reorganization of ad-
ministrative departments in the State,
and he advised the Central American
governments as to electoral procedure.
His success has been both personal, as
a diplomat. and professional. as a
scholar. Young though he is, he has
demonstrated already on a large scale
those qualities of practical wisdom which
are necessary in the American univer-
sity president.
DR.. Chase is, you might say, a presi-
dent tried and true, first at North Caro-
lima University, and recently at the Uni
vCAoACy VI AAAAAOAo, AAOAAA WAAANAA AAS NOAAASo
to New York University. No president
could survive year in one of our State
universities who did not possess talent
for getting on with the whole community
and for persuading other men in public
life
The fact that all three of these presi-
dents are fairly young, and that their
election follows so soon after the calling
of President Hutchins to Chicago, makes
us question whether there is not con-
scious or unconscious turning to youth
as solution of some of the problems
which confront our universities. When
I mention problems am not referring
primarily to the falling of of income,
which in these last years has embar-
raised both the privately endowed and
the publicly maintained college; nor am
referring to the presidents relations
with undergraduates. I am thinking of
the peculiar structure of American uni
versities and of some of the consequences
with which the best educators are not
altogether satisfied.

Uptown Grill, and still Is so called.
Outside on the street it was digni-
fed by no name at all, only a small
number on a slatternly door with q pane OF
dirty red glass It was mysterious and gray
and sinister and threatening and gave you
lovely cold shivers down your spine.
You felt, upon walking In where the bar was
that four shots would ring out presently ana
the oncoming police would be looking through
your pockets for letters to identify you That
is the way it was until very few days ago.
Then something quite amazing happened to
Jacks place, officially known as the Uptown
Grill. It changed. It cast aside its robes OF
mystery and silence. 1t blossomed even as the
rose. possibly responding to new conditions IN
the CITY, in the country in the minds OF
citizens and officials. But first let me tell
you how it was before it became as it Is
When you opened the outer door, seeking for
yourself the solace Of light beer or an old
fashioned, you passed from the sidewalk to
narrow hall, darker than the inside of a goat.
You walked in inkiness to an inner door with
q horizontal slot, and Mack knew somebody
was standing in the hall, for when you opened
the outer door, a buzzer gave OIL Its rattle.
Mack peeked at you. Mack is the bartender
who used to take drink of brandy, neat,
every twenty minutes all day long and half
the night and never succumbed to delrium
treniens or even slumber while On duty. OF
duty, he instantly collapsed.
At or in the morning when the
Uptown Grill officially closed for two hours.
Mack always hurried uptown to = hoot-owl
cabaret in Harlem where the entertainment
commenced at in the morning. People
who start having their entertainment ct
in the morning are usually heading for
breakdown, and Mack has lately been fired
by Jack, for Mack did not seem to fit into
the new, changed and semi-Sunday -schoolish
scene. They now have barman named Frank,
who is extremely fat and jolly and makes you
hink Of early morn on the farm, with dew
drops.
Formerly, when Mack admitted you to the
old Uptown Grill, you peered through the
smoky haze and perceived at once that you were
In rats nest and would better mind your step.
Before the bar were IL high Stools French
style, and on them six haired damosels
and six tired business men, all drinking beer.
Over in the smoky corner was q sawed-oh
piano, with bridge lamp and yellow-haired
dowager who kept whanging away all night
long, playing the popular Buffalo song Of the
moment and the tune with the they, nonny.
nonny." No matter what the drinking ladies
and gentlemen were doing, they, stopped every
thing to yell hey, nonny, nonny" when that

But the ideas remain vain 50 Tar as
Oxford and Cambridge are concerned.
They must be carried out. il at all. some
where else. To disturb that architecture
would be sacrilege.
\h/E sometimes hear it urged as criti-
cism against American colleges
that our architecture is frightfully
mixed, that in our very short history,
as compared with oxford and Cam
bridge, we have usually assembled a
menagerie of miscellaneous styles. The
criticism of the architecture is Just
enough, but it is an unconscious tribute
to our educational good luck. Education
must change every quarter century or
so if it is to keep in touch with the
altering world, and it is not blessing,
probably, but the reverse, when a rich
benefactor fits out one of our universe
ties with a large number of gorgeous
buildings all at the same time. The gar
ments are too costly and too durable for
us to throw them away; the style of the
cut affects our behavior, and we try to
i've up W Tile WIZ anu UIccCIicS duO
ivory cane long after our world has got
into knickerbockers or Stacks.
To point out this influence of archi-
lecture upon our academies may seem
ungracious; at least it may seem so to
lovers of the fine arts. An educator, how
ever, will understand it. Universities
should not exist primarily as monuments
to architects. The definition of good
college as Mark Hopkins on one end of
a log and boy on the other is inter-
preted too exclusively as tribute to the
power of great teacher. That's all very
we'll, but so long as Mark Hopkins has
only the boy and log, he enjoys the
great benefit of operating with no archi-
lecture whatever. If he gets new idea
he can deal with it freely, without con-
sidering whether or not it fits the room
which has been assigned to him. ALI
universities were great which func-
toned without buildings. Think what
would have happened to Abelard in his

After in the morning it was the custom
for almost every one present to be fairly picked
except Jack, who owns the place, and Mack,
who is now out pounding the pavements. Each

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. CAMP The
Southwestern Christian Advocate OF
ta,e current issue tells of the appoint
r,ent of Rev. 1. Garland Penn, Jr, to
tho pastorate of the Williams c. M. L,
Temple at Shreveport, La. Penn was
formerly minister of the Methodist
Episcopal church and for time served
as a District Superintendent, but BE-
came involved in some trouble, SAID
to be financial in nature, and reports
are current also that he was involved
in other kinds Of trouble, the nature OF
which was not made known.
The publication in the Southwestern
Christian Advocate that Penn had been
assigned to the big Shreveport church
came as a great surprise to the mem
hers Of the Methodist Episcopal church
as it reliably reported that Penn was
first supended and quit while suspend
