introducing: the
Protector of Youth
ONE hardly becomes excited any
more when the colleges are
made the subjects of criticism,
mainly for the reason that the criti
cism is usually justified. But when
the leading American exponent of
the gutter press, to whom only the
sordid is news, paints the universi
ties as centers of vice and immor
ality, even the most scorching crit
ic of these same universities is jus
tified in rising in anger.
If it were anyone elso than Ber
narr Macfadden who started the
old immorality tune again we would
be inclined to ignore it. But it’s
hard to accept such an indictment
from tho New York Graphic.
This famed tabloid, which carries
at the top of its front page tho as
suring caption, “Nothing but the
Troth,” announces that, the stud
ents in our colleges are getting “an
education in vice.” Surprising,
though, that Mr. Macfadden is not
referring to matters extra-curricu
lar.
“Under tho guise of ibiology and
psychology,’’ he writes, “college
professors teach so-called ‘ free
love’ and ‘self-expression’ . . . And
when the doctrine of free love is
paraded under the banner of sci
ence, and assisted by booze, the un
doing of tho young is to bo expect
ed.”
A Chicago society queen reports
in the same article, “all I got out
of my college life was a knowledge
of petting parties, gin and night
life.”
But Mr. Macfadden shouldn’t
complain. If all this didn’t take
place what excuse would there bo
for his great daily and his truth
telling magazines that, wo suppose,
are warnings to the young?
In fact it might seem that colleges
exist only to deprave the young so
that Mr. Macfadden may have some
thing to tell about in his publica
tions so that more young people may
read and go to college to become
depraved and supply more copy for
liis publications and so on ad in
finitum.
Outside of wondering where in all

improvement of every kind is the
work of the American mission in
Kfiypt. All 'Vmoricnn activities are
con sol ifin ted under the United Pres
byterian eliureh of North America.
We , visited the principal college
under this mission, Assiut College,
at Assiut, under the aide presidency
of l'r. O. P. Russell, who has de
grees from Princeton and Chicago.
Dr. Russell and liis wife are rela
tives of Hr. Bruce ,T. Giffen of West
minster house, Eugene.
This college provides, besides its
arts course, a fine scientific train
ing for young men who go into pro
fessional schools. Many of its grad
uates are doctors; some are min
isters, teachers, dentists, etc. Be
gun in a donkey stable, it has
grown to an enrollment of 750, and
is 60 per cent self supporting, which
is more than can be said for most
American colleges. The girls’
schools are separute. There aro
about 200 schools in Egypt under 1
the supervision of the American
Mission board.
A month in Egypt gives one a
tremendous respeet for the found

wrought so marvelously in their
isolated Nile valley: it gives one a
America may bo found college pro
fessors brave enough to teach free
love, and the location of the terrible
terrible colleges mentioned in the
printed paragon of virtue owned by
Mr. Macfadden, ew are inclined to
say, “ho hum.”
But more, we can’t help wonder
ing at this man who cries about im
morality in the colleges witli the
voice of the savior of youth and
at the same time empties the
world’s sewers into his own publi
cations.
Talking of double-standards:
here’s the prize-winner.
The Bond Between
Student and Laborer
(Marvara (jrimson.J
WHEN the .Nation announced
two years ago that it would of
fer a prize for the best essay writ
ten by a college student who had
spent his summer vacation as a la
borer, cither agricultural or indus
trial, there was a tendency among
pessimists to look suspiciously on
the project. Would the result be su
percilious froth or personal revela
tions? It happened that the result
was neither; it was an account of
a girl’s life in a factory, and it was
dono in the spirit of a human being,
not as a roformer. Last year the
contest was repeated, and a simi
lar essay won the prize. The stud
ents had managed to leave their
classroom attitude in the class
room—and they wcro accepted by
their follow workers as equals.
While the very fact that these
articles wcro prizo winners indi
cates that they wore above average,
their general character showed that
the student realized himself to be
other than a being sot apart from
manual workers. There was a cer
tain amount of literary skill dis
played in the papers but their chief
merit was in their universal atti
tude, one which, it had been claim
ed, was impossible under the pres
ent system of American education.
The Nation, which again declares
its intention of holding the contest
again, may not succeed in its aim
of obtaining a student “interpreta
tion of the industrial situation”
but it will find, as before, that the
bond between academic students
and laborers is not. entirely asun
dor. Adaptation to a new environ
ment is one of the fundamentals of
j education. To put it into practice
I is one of the objects of student
i workers.

ATHENS, Ohio—(IP) -Freshmen
at Ohio university have announced
that they will no longer obey upper
classmen rules, following a fresh
victory over the sophomores in a
tug-of-war held here last week.
The tug-of-war grew out of a free
for-all held on the streets of Athens
last week, when several students
were injured after the second year
men had attempted to force the
yearlings to obey fresh traditions.
The faculty ruled out the street
fighting as a means of settling the
dispute, and the rope pulling was
substituted. The freshman have
taken their victory to mean that
they are free to do us they please.
Clouds Threatening 'Asia and Pacific9
Course9 Professor Voices Protest
Impending East-West Crisis Focuses Eyes of World
On Orient, Making Information Vital
Is the course in ^‘Asia and the
Pacific” to be dropped from the
curriculum?
“It may be better to study the
Orient before a military crisis arises
out of Chinese confusion or Jap
anese ambition,” said Walter
Barnes, professor of history, who
has been teaching the course.
“When the Lusitania was sunk in
1915, the military unpreparedness of
our country was nothing compared
with the dismal intellectual unpre
paredness of our intelligentsia—so
we stumbled into the war and into
the European muddle that followed.
“China and Japan are obviously
the most important nations of Asia,
and since the war, the United States
is-in some ways the leading western
nation. One would think that trans
pacific relations would be especially
important to people on this coast,”
he continued. “Think of American
technical skill combined with Chi
nese labor!
“Then too, of the living cultures
of the world, China and Japan offer
two of the oldest and richest. They
have piled up many centuries of
philosophy, literature and art. Also,
on* our own campus, the Murray
Warner Oriental collection, said to
be the largest and best west of the
Mississippi, is certainly a great op
portunity. Even the cultural side
ought to figure in a university.
“The course, as I devised it, has
sketched the historical growth of
Chinese and Japanese character,
surveyed the present conditions, and
studied the relations of Europe and
ourselves with the Orient. It is a
brief course,” he explained, “and
must naturally neglect all details
about literature on one side and for
eign markets on the other.
“The students in class have
seemed convinced of the importance
of these studies, but the subject
does not easily make a wide appeal.
It is hard to imagine Californians
sending their sons on travelling fel
lowships to study some years in Can
ton or Tokio. Even our small text
book orders to San Francisco are
always referred to the Eastern of
fices, so it would seem that the peo
ple of Boston and Philadelphia are
more willing to read about the Ori
ent than we are. When the German
danger increases, the French study
more and more about Germany. We
still ignore the Orient and leave it
to Providence to determine our re
lations and guide our policy there.
If we saw this passive attitude in
Mesopotamia, we would call it ‘Mo
hammedan fatalism.’ But the indul
gent observer of the campus would
probably say, ‘Never mind. Let us
play, loaf and be merry, for tomor
row we may graduate.’
“The history department is going
to be short-handed next year. In
stead of having the money for the
long-hoped-for specialist in Oriental
culture, the department is losing
Dean Sheldon’s course in World
History. So it is a question of how
our time should be divided. The
class in Asia and the Pacific has
numbered 30, just normal for an
upper division course; but the Ori
ental culture course is far from the
fields in which we were trained and
if it is not going to reach any more
students than any other upper divi
sion course, there seems no quite
adequate reason for giving it.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio—(IP)—One of
(Ohio State’s oldest traditions was
I put in tho discard when President
Oeorjje W. Rightmire issued the or
j dor that "any man who is in any
i way connected with throwing a
freshman in the lake, by force, will
sever his connections with this uni
versity. ' ’
For years it had been the custom
of the Bucket and Pipper, whose
duty it was to enforce freshman
regulations, to throw disobedient
frosh into the lake in the center of
the campus.
In taking his stand against this
form of hazing, the president de
clared that no one group has a right
to force another group to do any
thing which it does not want to do.
A student has a right to do as he
pleases. Dr. Rightmire said, so long
as he does nothing wrong, and the
personal liberty of the student must
not be interferred with.
