Dr. Hopkins on Open-Mindedness
Mephistopheles would say, “While there’s life there’s hope.”
Sometimes there’s hope for this college life, despite the revolu
tions which A. Meiklejohn and his followers would institute.
No other than Ernest M. Hopkins, president of Dartmouth
college, in a letter defending himself against the American De
fense society, sets forth the virtues of the college-trained mind.
AnH we are sure that it is to the product of present American
colleges that he refers.
Yet Dr. Hopkins, like the celebrated Meiklejohn himself, is
of the liberal type of mind, and would give his students access
to all that is beneficial in education, especially higher education.
It, therefore, must not be concluded from this that two such
educators of mature ideas and extended influence are antipa
thetic. They must rather be the opposite.
Dr. Hopkins was assailed by some patriotic citizen affiliated
with the American Defense society for an expression of such
liberal policies as he would enforce at Dartmouth. He is re
ported to have said that “If Lenine and Trotsky were avail
able, ’ ’ he would certainly bring them in to lecture at Dartmouth.
This did violence to the sentiments of the League for American
Defense, and one of its votaries was quick to call the doctor for
his declaration.
The answer Dr. Hopkins wrote was a direct avowal of the
ideal of the American college mind. “The American under
graduate of from eighteen to twenty-two years old is on the
threshold of manhood and is capable of stripping error from
truth as he is capable of distinguishing hypocrisy from genuine
ness,” answered the Dartmouth president, “in both of which
he is superior to the average man whose interest has become
highly professionalized as apart from the general interest of
the college undergraduate.”
Dr. Hopkins is the kind that would allow a hearing to Wil
liam Z. Foster, Emma Goldman, Upton Sinclair (despite his
assault on American collegiate institutions), and many persons
of radical type of mind. His invitation to such to appear or
lecture platform would be, he thinks, in the best interests oi
higher education. The American college man or woman is able
to discern truth for himself. He becomes adept in the use ol
his perceptive powers, and adroit in the assimilation of his
ideas. His mind is developed. Perhaps the most encouraging
indication of thorough sanity of the student is that he will
criticise this radical as unmercifully as the less interesting con
servative.
After all, it’s as Dr. Hopkins points out. “A great mistake
was made if assumption arose that health could be understood
without understanding disease.”
BISHOP SUMNER TO BE

he will take in the various events
of Junior Week end.
Bishop Sumner is ah ardent sup
porter of the University. This is
the first time in several years that
he has been able to visit the cam
pus during a Junior Week-end, and
he is looking forward to it with
pleasure. Various campus living
organizations will take him to the
events of the week-end. Bishop
Sumner has attended many Univer
sity Homecomings and often comes
down for other football games.
DOPFSTERS FAIL TO
PREDICT ELECTIONS
(Continued from page one)
to discuss candidates. There waf
a certain amount of mud-slinging
but for tlie most part boosters foi
candidates stuck pretty well to the
merits of their favorites. This
was especially true in the case ol
the race for secretaryship. Rot!
Miss Akers and Miss Hathaway
are capable, estimable young worn
en, and political opponents ot
neither are making no attempt to
discredit the campus record of
either.
The contests for places on thr
student or executive council are at
iracung practically no interest.
People are watching the presiden
tial, the secretarial and the Ore
gana race too much for that. Sen
timent has wavered pereeptibly,
first for one and then for the other,
in those major battles, but in the
case of the lesser office-seekers,
there has been practically nothing
to judge by. As the situation
stands this morning, everything is
just a toss-up.
Split Votes Predicted
Some of the reputed wise-heads
on the campus are being well
fooled this year, just as self-assert
ed prophets are always fooled. 1
Some of these boys “sell” their ■
candidate to an influential member l
of some leading organization at the
same time perhaps that his oppon- I
ent is selling his man to another I
equally strong member. Both think
they have the organization 1
“sewed” when, as a matter of fact, j
the votes in that house will split
two or three ways.
“Sewing houses” has always
been a popular pre-election sport,
but it is about as certain as cap- !
turing eels from the side of a row j
boat. Another political bugaboo';
that the halls are lined up solid I
behind this or that candidate is
being held up this year. Those who I
know declare that the halls do not
vote solidly for any one, except:
their own candidates, any more
than does any other organization.
Bulletins to be Posted j
Some day this campus will wake 1
up to the fact that there will be j
less hard feeling aroused and
more good officials elected if cam- |
paigns are staged in the open. Just
why it is illegitimate to boost the i
stock of one’s friends is more than ‘
we can see. If the holding of1
campus offices is honorable, it,
should be an honor to work for a
worthy student candidate. i
Perhaps the clever campaign
stunt which one of the candidates
for the student council staged yes
terday is a step in the right direc
tion.
The polls will close today at 3,
and the first bulletin will probably
not bo issued until 4:30 or 5. Bul
letins will probably be posted
hourly from that time on. If the
vote is as heavy as it should be,
the counting will not be over until
nearly midnight. j
Everyone is urged to vote today. ,
May the best man win.

Defendant’s Alibi Stands When
Two Witnesses Conflict
Donald R. Husband acquitted
of Arson in Moot Trial
In a moot court criminal case tried
yy the third year law students at
the county court house last night,
Donald R. Husband was declared
not guilty of a charge of arson. He
was accused of wilfully and malici
ously setting fire to the dwelling of
another.
Two witnesses, Prances E. Taylor
ind Grant A. Williams, testified that
they had seen Husband light a match
and set fire to a bunch of rubbish at
the back corner of a house and then
run through the alley as they were
going home late at night. As oil
was used in the rubbish the fire got
beyond control and destroyed the
building in spite of the firemen. The
owner, Theodore A. Tamba, had re
fused to buy insurance from Husband
earlier in the week and this was
given as his reason for the action.
The defense also put two witnesses i
on the stand, S. C. Clark and Ed Kel- i
ley, who declared that the defendant
was near Seavey’s ferry on the same
night at the same time. Mr. Hus
band himself corroborated this state
ment . As there was no decisive
evidence on either side the defendant
was declared not guilty.
Officers of the court were Tvan R.
Phipps, prosecuting attorney; Virl A.
Renehoff, attorney of the defense;
Ted Kurasliige, bailiff; and Judge L.
E. Bean of Eugene acted as judge.
Rill Short substituted for Husband.
Jurors were chosen from the audi
ence.

It seems that Andy has just re
cently gone bankrupt down south.
He started a lumber rn-ni down
amongst the petrified forests of
Arizona and failed to make a go
of It.
I told him that that was surely
typical hard luck and that if he
needed it, I’d lend him $25,000
of my last year’s salary to start
out anew. But he said that
$20,000 was easily enough and
he’s going to start business in
South America soon.
