SOUTH BEND, Ind. Per-
haps Notre Dame Is not the
best place from which to sur
vey the role of universities in
modern life. This great uni
versity has never had any
doubt about its purposes or
its values. 1t has set its ira
dition Of scholarship In a
context Of moral continuity.
But It's detachment from the
ordinary rivalries Of academ-
ic life gives 1t the chance to
take q rather larger view
than other colleges and uni
versities. After all, Notre
Dame does not depend on
huge contracts for scientific
research awarded by the
Federal Government.
In talking to members Of
the faculty at Notre Dame,
one finds two recurrent
themes that dominate the
conversation. The first is a
plea for higher standards, for
the freedom of all universe
ties to follow studies whose
importance cannot be meas
ured by the market place,
and for the right Of q univer-
sity to have It's life deter
mined by its own community
of sc h ola rs instead Of by
business administrators or
State officials. This classic
view Of the function of a
university would be Endorsed
by authorities on education
from Plato to Newman, from
Whitehead to Hutchins. But
1t is not the principle which
controls most universities in
the United States.
Many universities are so
eager to be the servants of
their community that they
forget their higher loyalty to
academic ideals. A true uni
versity is neither a trade
school nor an ivory tower.
Sometimes it is serving the
deepest needs Of the Nation
when 1t withdraws from the
clamorous debates that d.

some uneasiness because the
RIM Rockets have played the
spoiler role before this year.
Walter Johnson's victory this
past weekend over Northwood
wasn't the only big news in the
league. Defending Champion
Blair took B-CC to task, 59.47,
which put the Blazers in a tie
for second place with North
wood and dropped B.CC into
third place. B-CC was suddenly
finding itself on the decline
after a heady season in which
that quintet pulled victories out
of the fire in the last seconds
of play as a matter of routine
and at one time was in a tie for
first place with the Indians.
BLAIR, of course, was sched-
uled to meet Northwood last
night at Blair and that game
shared the spotlight equally
with the WJ.RM contest.
All this just goes to prove
that the coaches were right and
the writer's were wrong at the
outset of the season when
sportswriters tabled North
wood as all but unbeatable,
gave passing notice to the Spar.
tans, and now must eat their
words.
The coaches, on the other
hand, all along have said it was
going to be a hectic race for the
county title this year and there
wasn't a team In the running
that could be counted out of
the race.
The coaches were right, as
the record shows.
Among other things, Blair

has shown more power than
was expected. WI has liter
ally stolen the limelight from
the rest of the league. B-CC
found unexpected strength In
the last.minute performances
of stellar ace Bryant Agnew
and stayed in the top of the
race until these past couple
rounds of action.
Richard Montgomery, who
hardly rated notice of writers
when the season started, has
gained recognition as the big
spoiler of the year, upsetting
B-CC and knocking them out of
first place a couple of weeks
ago.
Despite the outcome OF the
county race, it is a sure bet
the winner of the Class AA title
is going to be a tough competi-
tor in the campaign for state
honors this year as the county
competition has demonstrated.
This writer bows to WI,
figuratively eats his hat, and
hopes for a state title for the
Class AA victor.
