DR. ES. CONKLIN
MOTTO OF PSYCHOLOGY IN
STRUCTOR GIVEN THE
SOPHOMORES
“BE INDEPENDENT” IS PLEA
Transformation of German
Peoples, Shown as Example
of Working Out of Same Idea
as Expressed Yesterday.
“Live today. Too many people are
continually preparing for their after
lives and in so doing, miss much of
the happiness of the present.” This
is the rule of life that Dr. E. S. Conk
lin, head of the department of psy
chology, laid before the Sophomore
class yesterday at the regular meet
ing which he had been asked to ad
dress.
“I have adopted this rule for my
self and I believe that it is the best.
I continually run across people that
are so busy preparing themselves for
the life to come that they
miss all there is to the present. I do
not do this or believe it. I say live
today, get all you can out of the
present moment and the future will
take care of itself. Have a good time
in the process, live thoroughly.
Would Keep Individualism.
“We see so many young people
who are simply imitating the ideas
and actions of older people and are
not really getting ahead themselves.
1 put the emphasis on myself. Be
master of yourself and be indepen
dent. Young people begin to imi
tate their elders in the high school
period and then when they get into
college they do more of it until by
the time they are out in the world
a short time they have completely
lost sight of ‘selfness.’ Their idea
seems to be to take on maturity and
the result is that they take over com
pletely the ideas of others and thus
do not keep their individual traits.
“Although I am not from the state
of Missouri I hold the attitude of
‘show me.’ This is my point of view.
Be independent of customs, habits
and the like. However, these must
be known. It is necessary to know
these things to be able to handle peo
ple, but in learning them do not lose
‘self.’
World Always Changing.
“You continually hear the old ar
gument that you should take nothing
but practical work. Something that
you can use as soon as you master it.
Something that you can use right
away. But, the world is always
changing. If you just learn a trade,
when these changes come you are
out of it. You must educate to be
able to change with the times, to go
ahead and make changes. You
should not educate for the next few
years only, but for the future away
ahead. A genius is not a man with a
capacity for work, but one who has
never lost his youth. He does not
burden himself with old customs and
ideas, but he knows them. A genius
is master of every situation that con
fronts him, he is erratic, runs off on
tangents, in other words he has
never lost the bounding enthusiasm
of youth by hanging on to it the old
customs. This idea is the one that
President Eliott of Harvard follows
and ha is dead right. A very good
working example of this plan is found
in Germany which is noted and fam
ous for its progress in education and
science. During the year 1680 and
m
before, the country as far as tbe sci
ences and education are concerned,
amounted to nothing. It was over
run and downtrodden by Napoleon’s
armies. There was never a nation
more torn and disrupted them that
country was at the time.
Praises German Education.
“During the winter of that year,
Gottlieb Fechte gave a series of lec
tures that were supposed to be on
education. French soldiers were sta
tioned in the hall at the lectures to
see that nothing was said against the
usurpers of the throne, notwithstand
ing the fact that they could not un
derstand the German language.
Fechte emphasized self. He put
great stress on ‘living,’ study and
learning selves. His general idea
was to study with the idea of pro
gressing. He taught them to maste •
the situations that confronted them.
Sixty years later, Germany’s armies
were battering at the gates of
France. They had become master of
their environment.
“Do not take everything that some
body gives you for the truth. Doubt
them, question their authority, work
it out for yourself. I often doubt
the statements of a friend because he
is a friend, that may be the more
reason for doing it. The idea is to
enter into things yourself and not
take so much for granted.”

Latest Prom Army Officer Who

Advice
Communications have been receiv
ed from China besides different parts
of the United States, asking for in
[ formation regarding the campaign
I for extinction of flies being carried
on by the extension department.
Quoted below is a paragraph from a
letter received by Dr. C. F. Hodge
from Captain R. Barber, Medical
Corps, Fort'-Huachuca, seeking infor
mation concerning flies. Captain
Barber graduated from the Univers
ity of Oregon in 1899 before the time
of President Campbell:
“This is a fly infected post and I
am the assistant surgeon and have
promised the Commanding Officer
that I will get all the available infor
mation on the subject of fly destruc
tion possible. I have at hand some
of the literature on the subject but
I have been unable to obtain much
j accurate information as to the best
approved method of combating them.
The general principle of outdoor
1 trapping I am very well aware of but
have no information as to size, bait
and number required. I would con
sider it a great favor and so I am
sure would the commanding officer
and every other member of the force
if you would send me such informa
tion as you can on the subject.”
