What do you think about it?
“A University is not a glorified high school. It is not meant
for boys and girls who are still in the text-book stage and unable
to study without spoon feeding and direction. It is intended for
students who, however vague and chaotic their ideas as to their
future occupation, have some independent intellectual life of their
own, who value ideas and the contact of mind with mind, and who
come to a seat of learning, not simply to scramble through some
bread-winning test, but, whether consciously or not, to satisfy the
needs of their growing spirit.”
A famous British scholar, Alfred E. Zimmern, whom the Uni
versity offers to bring to us for a week of lectures should student
and faculty interest merit it, declared this in an essay on “Univer
sities and Public Opinion,” and in so doing said something peculiarly
applicable to his proposed visil.
‘‘Independent intellectual life,” ‘‘contact of mind with mind
“—these are the things which make a university, which make il
more than a ‘‘glorfied high school.” But somehow or other in the
past 20 years when quantity education has been so stressed, contact
of student and professorial mind in universities has languished
seriously until it has become almost a thing of the past even in the
country’s greatest universities. In some of the more notable of in
stitutions there has grown up to meet this disturbing condition the
plan of bringing into student life outside of the class room certain
intellectually active men, scholarly men, specialists in their fields,
to enrich student minds by contact with outside life and experience.
The Emerald seizes eagerly on the University’s offer to bring
Mr. Zimmern to us for a week, not so much because he himself is
an eminent man and that he surely is but because his coming
will hcai'ld the advent of others and the opening up here at Oregon
of possibilities for just that sort of student life for which Oxford
and Cambridge and Yale and Princeton are famous. It believes that
here lies the opportunity to start this university on a career of added
distinction in education which will bring students to it from very
far.
The administration offers to bring this man to us. First they
must be assured that interest is high enough to warrant the expense
in these days of cramped resources occasioned by the recent extensive
building. What do you think about it 1

The writer had the pleasure of a
visit to Kugene last week tn attend
the Annual Newspaper Conference held
there under the auspiees of the Sehonl
of .lournalisin, University of Oregon.
Kugene is a very pretty little city
and we were pleasantly received and
delightfully entertained by the good
people of the town, aide assisted liv
the college faculty and students of the
educational center.
While W. greatly appreciated and
enjoy all this kind hospitality, the thing
that greatly impressed us was the in
fluence that education has in the train
ing f the young people who are at
tending our institutions of higher
learning. It was indeed an inspiration
to associate with and observe the ac
tions iif the young pen jilt who are thus
being trained fnr the affairs nf life.
There was in evidence everywhere
the air of refinement ami good iiihh
ners that comes from proper, careful
training. In all of the activities of
the occasion the young people of the
institution took prominent parts carry
ing them out well and in an orderly,
decourous manner.
It was the writer’s good fortune tn
be invited to a noon day lunch at one i
of ttu> fraternity houses where some
thing like 25 or 2t> young men live
during their college activities. Here
we were very cordially received and
most hospitably entertained, not in a
lavish, palavering manner, but in a way
that, we felt perfectly at homo and
that we were there heartily welcome.
Here the young men conduct their
home, manage their affairs and secure
a training that in future life will be i
of inestimable value to them. Each j
young man takes his turn as host at
the table, serving as does the head of,
the family and it is needless to say
that he gains some valuable expert 1
ence when it comes to serving at af
table surrounded by 25 young guests
each day. The decorum that prevailed,
the good manners that were in evidence
and the spirit of genuine friendship ;
that manifested itself were evidences
of the value and influence of the train
ing that was being received. The ut
most courtesy was maintained. Should |
a young man wish to retire from the ;
table during the progress of the meal
he court egly asked permission to be ex |
cused.
Without exception each young man
on arriving at the fraternity house
and finding a guest there, without
hesitation or the least embarrasmeut
sought an introduction or introduced
himself and then took the part of a
genuine host.
To thus be received and entertained
bv these fine young men was to us
indeed most pleasing. Forest Orove

McMinnville College by a wealthy lady
calls to mind the fact that Oregon has
been singularly lacking in citizens who
have given out of their abundance
toward the promoting of the cause of
education in the state.
Very few gifts of any proportions
have been given either to the Univer
sity of Oregon or the Oregon Agricul
tural College, the two principal state
institutions of higher learning, and
they have, out of necessity, been forced
to rely upon money paid by the tax
payers.
In other states the big educational
institutions have been made the bene
ficiaries of hugh sums left by citizens

who took this way of acknowledging j
their obligations to the state which
prospered them. Only last year the j
University of Michigan—if our memotv
serves us correctly—received $2,000,000
from private citizens for the endow
ment of some particular schools of
the college or for the building of new
buildings, and there is hardly a univer
sity or college in the east which is not
maintained in considerable part from
the earnings of endowment funds or
which does not have large buildings
which are monuments to the generosity
of private citizens. Stanford univer
sity was created from private funds
and the University of California has
been the recipient of many handsome
gifts
The future of both of the large edu
cational institutions of Oregon will be
largely fashioned by similay benefac
tions, or by the lack of them. The |
sums realized now from the millage tax
are barely sufficient to meet the costs
of operation and maintenance. There
is nothing left over at the end of the J
year with which to add to the build
ings and equipment. Indeed, the tax
money is inadequate to meet the most
important needs of the schools, and as
a result other colleges and universit
ies are able to outbid the Oregon
schools for the service of her big in
structors.
The regents and the administrative
of the institutions realize that they
cannot go before the people, already
bearing a heavy tax burden, and ask
for additional appropriations with
which to provide very necessary build
ings and accommodations for an in
creasing number of students. Many
of their departments are poorly housed,
space is at a premium and equipment
is insufficient.
The time has arrived when loyal Ore
gon citizens, who have accumulated
wealth in the state, should step forward
and do as others have done in other
states. No greater purpose could be
served by their money than by turn
ing it to the constructive purpose of
educating the future citizens of the
state.
This is a suggestion for those who
have reaped riches from the bounty of
the state. May it not fall on barren
soil.—Astoria Budget.
