THE OREGON EMERALD as the official organ of the
Associated Student Body of the University of Oregon, aims to
serve the student body politic in the following way: to diffuse cor
rect and authentic news; to protect and conserve the highest ideals
of the University; to consistently avoid all secret affiliations and
alliances; to play the game squarely with no favoritism; to be op
timistic and courageous in fulfilling its functions; to comment on,
and receive comment on the problems concerning the University
and its welfare; to pursue a constructive editorial policy which nec
essarily implies a destructive policy; in short, to pursue militantly
a policy of proper publicity in regard to all problems that confront
the Student Body—all of this, based on the truism that a demo
cracy can he effective and efficient only so long as it maintains a
free and militant press.
Intellectualism in Freedom; Not Insulation,
MAY HAPS, as has been proverbially proclaimed, tfie typical
American student inculates himself against all things intellectual by
a thick insulation of sports; but we are inclined to resent any impli
cation on that score after the demonstration of last night at ithe Sigma
Delta Chi smoker. Some forty journalists were gathered for their
annual smoke, gab and sport fest, when Lieut. M. Swartzkopensky,
formerly officer and body-guard to the Czar of Russia [appeared.
Although three more boxing and wrestling events were scheduled,
everything was abandoned to ask the visitor questions on war, phil
osophy, history and literature. Another visitor, John Kelly, a free
lance journalist, was also primed for all the information he had con
cerning the war and the defenses of the United States. 1
Far info the morning talk continued. Count Swartzkopensky
was asked concerning the American student as compared with the
European, and he stated that the European college men were more
radical, but that American students need not he radical o'n account
of freedom,of speech, press and action. While the conclusion is
logical we qan hardly agree with Lieut. Swartzkopensky ip his con
clusion. Withal the freedom that America stands it seems to us
that the very freedom breeds an intellectual level of mediocrity and,
a species of blase conservatism. As a matter of absolute fact we
have not as much freedom even in our universities as we would pride
ourselves with having. About a year ago Prof. Scott Nearing of the
University of Pennsylvania was dropped bv the board of trustees
because he was expounding theories in the class-room that; were too
radical for some of the old-fashioned Tories by the Delaware. The
board of trustees adopted a policy of silence and secrecy,'and 1500
students, regarding this policy as a confession, rose in protest against
the attempt to gag professors and end academic freedom. 1
If there is a slight tendency for American students sto regard
college life as a sort of diversion it is because they are1 insulated
against all intellectual combats by the so-called freedom of everything.
But every once in a while the American student, stirred by an occa
sional touch of intellectual slavery to a board of trustees or'what-not,
rises up spontaneously and demands w«at the European student is
crying for—freedom. 1
