CLASS DIVISION AT .OXFORD
DESCRIBED BY KIRBY MILLER
Honor and1 ‘Pass Men’ Separated; Intellectual Interests
Dominate Throughout Schobl
By Ruth Hill
“In Oxford, the intellectual in
terests are wholly dominant. While
they have not always been so, the
tradition of the ‘pass man,’ now,
though bv no means dying, is sub
ordinate throughout,” said Kerby
Miller, instructor in philosophy, and
a Rhodes scholar at Oxford in
1921-1924.
“In Oxford and Cambridge it is
assumed that there are two classes
of men: those who have both in
terest and ability, and those witn
indifferent ability and indifferent
interest. *The former takes the hon
or school and the latter, the pass
school. A further division is made
according to maturity within the
group with ability and interest.
Two examinations are given cor
respondingly: moderations at the
end of the first year; and the final
honor school.
“‘Pass men’ of indifferent
ability and interest are given com
paratively easy work dealing large
ly with facts which require a mini
mum of intelligence—only so much
as they are able to give. There is
a certain percentage of men who
are unable to conceive clearly uni
versal or abstract ideas and to see
the connection between things—to
see, in short, facts which are sig
nificant. At least they have the
very minimum of ability to do so.
“This type of man is totally un
able to cope with a presentation of
the subject in which the facts are
only presented as significant mo
ments in a system. They can learn
them only as facts, and their re
lationship as also facts. This type
of man may roughly be called ‘me
chanical minded.’ His mind learns,
imitates, and manipulates facts as
though they were things. One can
not hope to teach such a mind to
understand truly. Concepts, laws,
movements in history, will always
appear to it as things.
“In the first year at Oxford, the j
honor man completes a thorough
training in the ground work of the
languages, sciences, etc., as a basis
for advanced work. He becomes a
thorough master of the instruments
of scholarship and acquires a strong
bias for accuracy. While accuracy
of detail is stressed, it is not con
sidered the end of scholarship, but
only the acquiring of indispensable
instruments for the attainment of
it.. Slovenly work is treated with
the utmost opprobrium.
“It often happens that men who
are most able to acquire this de
tailed knowledge and aleeurnte man
ipulation of the instruments of
scholarship, have not themselves
that higher ability which is re
quired of a genuine scholar; the
firsts in moderations are often the
seconds in the final honor school.
“Once the final honor school is
entered upon the mechanical de
tails are not taught but presup
posed in their work. The school
occupies itself with a systematic
study and criticism of firings ns
significant. The critical recon
struction of history presupposes an
originality, but an originality which
is disciplined and governed entirely
by an accurate and careful analysis
of facts. A high degree of ability
and a high order of interest are re
quired on the part of the student.
T? one were to distinguish between
, intellectual and intelligent types,
the honor student, belongs defin
itely in the former class. The.1 me
chanical-minded, or merely intelli
gent. student, no matter how con
scientious, could not and would not
be allowed to take the honor school.
“On the other hand, Oxford and
Cambridge have been for centuries
the finishing schools of the Brit
ish aristocracy, and have empha
si/.ed in the past, the importance of
the ‘pass man.’ This pass school
i gives an opportunity for the less
Rifted to come into contact witn
the eultured life of the intellect and
teaches respect for learning. In this
modern age even young aristocrats
must show some reason for being.
The emphasis on the place of the
‘pass man’ is becoming decidedly
less. Young noblemen are anxious
to justify themselves by a display
of some ability. If they have such
they generally compete for scholar
ships in the colleges and take hon
or schools where they not infre
quently distinguish themselves. But
there are some who, while not them
selves capable of active intellectual
interests, are able to acquire an ac
quaintance with or gain a respect
for them, and it is for this end
that the tradition of the pass school
has been maintained. The social
utility of the attitude which the
ideal ‘pass man’ acquires, particu
larly when he is an aristocrat, is
something which the University
must consider.
“In regard to sectioning in my
own classes, I have not had the
Oxford system as a whole especially
in mind. The difference in the con
ditions in the two places is so great
as to make a literal transplanting
impossible and inappropriate. None
the less, there is a distinct differ
ence’ between higher and lower or
ders of intelligenc whi"h is as uni
versal as is man. In my subject
this difference shows itself with a
very great contrast. The mechani
cal-minded person can never know
what philosophy is about, nor is
there any use in trying to teach
him to understand what it really
is. One can only tell him facts
about it, and give him certain broad
analogies on his level of ability.
These can never be very adequate;
they fail, for like newspaper arti
cles on science which leave out sci
ence, they leave out philosophy. It
would be hopelessly confusing to
teach a class composed of this sort
of person and those who had some
capacity for entering upon philoso
phy. That which would help one
would confuse another.
“A ‘pass man’ must fail entirely
to understand anything of a dis
cussion on the level of philosophy.
On the other hand, an honor man
would get more serious misconcep
tions of philosophy by being told
about philosophy, rather than being
taught philosophy itself. No one
could become a scientist by read
ing articles on scientific, discover
ies, and so, no person could learn
to think philosophically by hearing
about philosophy.
“The division, therefore,” said
Professor Miller, “of students into
those who show some capacity to
understand philosophy, and those
whose abilities allow them only to
be told facts about it, is a first
rate and most obvious necessity; I
have not had a system in mind
which I superimposed on my classes,
but have followed a course which
the nature of the subject matter
and the character of my students
have dictated as being without
proper alternative.”
WORLD FELLOWSHIP
MEETINGS POSTPONED
There will be no meetings of dis- I
eussion groups this week, Ellen Me- j
Clellan, chairman of the World Fel-,
lowship committee, announced yes- |
terday. All the leaders are plan-;
ning upon finishing the series of
discussions, during the next two
weeks. Three groups 'held meet
ings yesterday—those studying
Australia, Argentina and Norway.
On Wednesday, the countries dis
cussed were Korea, Turkey, Poland
and India.
Genevieve Chase, leader of the
group studying Switzerland, has ar
ranged to have Mrs. Anna L. Beck
show slides of the passion play at
the University high school. This
performance will take the place of
the meeting which was to have been
spent in the study of the religion
of the Swiss and it will be open
to the campus in general. Miss
Chase says that Mrs. Beck has
shown these slides before and they
met with much approval. The date
of the shdwing will be announced
later.
