MONEY CHANGERS IN THE TEMPLE “And Jesus entered into the temple of God and cast out all of them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold the doves. “And he saith unto them, ‘It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers.”—Matthew 21:12, 13. lHE world of thinkers longs for the coming of -*■ such a Messiah, sent to purge our halls of learn ing from the cankerous growth of politics, and to rescue our savants from slavery at the hands of the money-minded laity. The thinker is the advance guard of civilization. The University is his haven, where he is protected from the pressing problems of today and is free to look into the problems of tomorrow for the rest of humanity. The academic tradition must be upheld if we are to prevent decay into a civilized barbarism. Yet there are those who threaten the safety of thought. There are the politically ambitious who worm their insidious way into our educational sys tems, and seek to work their pompous dictates upon their intellectual superiors. The machinations of the leprous minds drive them on in an attempt to subordinate the masters of thought, and to dese crate the holy estate of learning. Lewis Mumford, a pronjinent contemporary writer, once said: "Without academic freedom the University is a mockery; without intellectual integrity education is a tragedy. . . .” This is the doctrine of the University. It is the principle upon which cur great halls of learning have been founded and the principle upon which they have endured and become indispensable. We are grateful to Dean Morse for his eloquent and forceful oration delivered last Saturday evening at the Dad’s Day banquet. Dean Morsa has succeeded in raising the issue from one of personality to one of principle. He has transformed it from a matter of selfish interest to a question whose answer may control the whole fate of learning. We are grateful to Dean Morse for giving life on this campus to a movement which may mate rially change the status of our system of higher education. His was a fiery denunciation of the false and predatory educational politician, gorging him self on stolen sacrament. We hail the courage of an intelligent man, pledge him our support. EFFECT OF THE HEAT, PERHAPS TTAGRANT rumors, conceived and nourished in ™ California sunshine, have been drifting north ward to disquiet the football fans of Oregon and Washington. The southerners, feeling that there never really has been anything much in the way of football power generated in the great North west, have hinted at the forming of an all-California conference, leaving the Northern members of the conference out in the November cold. Unfortunately for California’s policy of isola tion, the talk of a football divorce was at its height just before two of the mighty sun-kissed jugger nauts came north for “breather” games with the incompetent apple-knockers from Oregon State col lege and Mr. Kollingbery’s earnest youngsters from Washington State college. The results of these two breathers is the sur prise of the season. Oregon State’s dogged apple knockers reared up on their hind legs and gave the halting Trojan horse such a battle as it has not seen in three long seasons. Coach Lon Stiner’s lads did the thing that Notre Dame, Tulane, and Ala bama failed to do they kept the Trojans scoreless. And Washington State’s rustic footballers held the formidable Golden Bears to a 6-6 tie. The remarkable thing is that O. S. C. and W. S. C. are not supposed to be the strongest teams in the Northwest. Oregon, by comparative scores, should be at least two touchdowns stronger than Oregon State. Pride goeth before a fall. The siege of Troy has been started successfully by the doughty Beavers; perhaps the fall of Troy will be accom-! plished by Oregon’s own Webfooters. At least we arc sure that the whispers of split- j ting the coast conference into northern and south ern halves will fade out abruptly as soon as word reaches California from the isolated Northwest that two of its favorite sun-kissed ball clubs have been baffled by the Northerners. The Functions of a State University Editor's note: The following itddress was delivered by the dean of the Oregon luw school at the Dad’s day banquet Sat urday evening, October 21. For reasons of space economy, Dean Morse’s prefatory re marks have been omitted, hut the entire body of the uddress is reprinted without deletion. By WAYNE L. MORSE IN selecting- the subject of my ad dress, “The Functions of a State University.’’ 1 was guided by the foremost objective of your or ganization: namely, participation in the work of maintaining the University of Oregon as one of the first-rate state universities of the country. Pei haps I would have preferred to talk on a subject di rectly connected with the legal pro fession but I felt that to do so would be to impose upon your courtesy and to evade a vital sub ject which warrants discussion in these times, in almost every state. In speaking to you about my views as to the functions of a state university, my chief aim is to en list your interest in thinking through some of the problems which are confronting and endan- | gering institutions of higher learn ing not only this state but in many states. If I direct your attention openly and frankly to certain edu cational principles, the preserva tion of which 1 think are vital to the life of any state university, 1 1 do so because I appreciate that in the last analysis you, because of your parental interests, and the thousands of other taxpayers, con stitute the jury which wiil seal the! fate of state institutions of higher learning What°are .the functions of a state university ?°0 Unanimity “of opinion in answer to thai question does not exist. Educat s. admin istrators, and boards of education frequently differ. Nevertheless there is general agreement as to j certain tenets of educational pol icy. In 1931. the legislature of Cali fornia passed an act which was signed by the governor calling for a survey of California a education-1 al institutions. The act fortunate ly provided that one of the educa tional research foundations should be invited to conduct the survey; therefore in a furtherance of the aims of the act, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, was selected to make the analysis and prepare recom mendations. The foundation called upon sev en nationally renowned educators: Samuel P. Capen, chancellor of the University of Buffalo, chair man; Lotus D. Coffman, president of the University of Minnesota: Charles H. Judd, dean of the school of education, University of Chica go; Orval R. Latham, president of Iowa State Teachers college; Al bert II. Meredith, professor of edu cation of New York university; James F. Russell, dean-emeritus of teachers college, Columbia univer sity; and George F. Zook, presi dent of Akron university, now United States commissioner of edu cation. In June, 1932, this commission of seven submitted its report which at the outset deals with the func tion of the educational system. Be cause the commission's conclusions are so very germane to my sub ject, 1 wish to quote from them at length: "The fundamental functions of the state edncatioal system are to educate the people to greater and greater competency in performing. First, the general social obllga tios of citizenship or membership m American civilization required of all men and women, and Second, the particular or spe cialized services to society allotted to different occupational groups, membership in any one of which is a matter of individual choice | and fitness. "These educational functions correspond with the two tvpes of: requirement which modern social; life lays upon every citizen. Kvery person has social, political, or oth er responsibilities which he should bear in common with other per-i >ous. as iu his membership in the , to.!'.'.:!' i he neigfcborbood t!s to Ml community, the state, the ua-M lion, and humanity at large. On i the other hand, every person has, under our economic system of sub division of work or services, a par ticular obligation which he meets, usually by the service he renders through his special remunerative occupation.” In brief summary, this group of leading American educators charg- i es our educational system with the responsibility for developing a greater appreciation for social ob- | ligations of citizenship and for training individuals to perform i particular or specialized services for society. The main functions of a university as it pertains to the lower division work of the first two years of college should be di rected toward the citizenship ob jective by giving the student an un derstanding of the natural and so cial world in which he lives. The upper division of university work should emphasize the function of training specialists to serve through the professions. We may differ with some of the details of the commission's conclusions, but there is general agreement that', its pronouncements as to the prop- , er functions of an education sys- , tern are sound in principle. Woodrow Wilson, in his brilliant < essay “What Is a College For?" 1 raises this question, “Shall the lad ; who goes to college go there for. i the purpose of getting ready to be ' a servant merely, a servant who i will be nobody and who may be- i come useless, or shall he go there i for the purpose of getting ready ton be a master adventurer in the field of modern opportunity-" He an- i -overs in these words. "It is for t the training of the men who are r to rise above the ranks. That is t what a college is for What it . ioes. what it requires of its under- <■ graduates and of its teachers, t -hould be adjusted to that coneep- 1 ion." ( He goes on to state a truth just 1 is applicable today as when he 1 srote his essay, "it is a day when s i college course has become fash- 1 enable no; for the purpose of 1 earning not for the purpose of ob-1 - The Duck Scores Again - By STANLEY ROBE taining a definite preparation foi anything, —no such purpose could became fashionable. The clientage of our colleges has greatly changed since the time when most of the young men who resorted to them did so with a view to entering one or other of the learned professions. Young men who expect to go into business of one kind or another now outnumber among our under graduates those who expect to make some sort of learning the ba sis of their work throughout life; and I dare say that they general ly go to college without having made any very definite analysis of their aim and purpose in going. Their parents seem to have made as little.” I submit that Wilson was right: It is the primary function of a state university to train men and women to rise above the ranks and I charge that American universi ties, private as well as state, are failing in this important obliga tion. For the past twenty or more years American society has dragged itself with the economic opiate of mass production and has tossed on an addict’s bed of stan dardized materialism. The peddlers of those false values have too fre quently seduced college adminis trators into their dives of scholas tic prostitution. The result has been mass pro duction in higher education, ma terial monuments of bricks and siones, ractory efficiency, and army discipline. The cost is just now writing itself across their vision as they slowly awaken from their stupor. In dollars and cents the experience, in many states, has been too costly for the taxpayers to bear; bdt the greatest c^st has been paid out of our store of aca demic values. Mass production in higher edu cation has meant a general lower ing of scholastic standards in or der to enlarge the mass of stu dents to occupy the material mon uments built with the tax dollar. In every university in this land, conscientious educators are strug gling with many students who they know cannot rise above the ranks, who they know are not in college for any serious purpose, but who hey know are kept there like wa tered stock, that the administra ors may raise funds for an unwar ranted overhead. This is especially true in state universities and colleges because >t the fallacious contention that the 'hild of every taxpayer should be entitled to a college training. He should if and only if—he has the ncentive to work hard, and the ca uaeity to succeed in college study. Woodrow Wilson commented on his problem as follows: "We must 'xpeet hewers of wood and draw “rs of water to come out of the college in their due proportion, of ouise, but I take it for g'ranted hat even the least gifted of them lid not go to college with the am htion to be nothing more. And et one has hardly made the state nent before he begins to doubt whether he can safely take any hing for granted. Part of the ery question we are discussing is he ambition with which young nen now go to college." "What has happened is, in gen ial terms, this: that the work of he college, the work of its class >onis and laboratories, has become he merely formal and compulsory ide of its life, and that a score of ther things, lumped under the e r m ‘undergraduate activities' avc become the vital, spontan °us. absorbing realities for nine ut of every ten men who go to olltge. I hose activities embrace ocial, athletic, dramatic, musical, terary. religious, and professional rpnuations of 8 kind be ‘des many organized for mere amusement and some, of great use and dignity, which seek to exer cise a general oversight and sensi ble direction of college ways and customs. Those which consume the most time are, of course, the ath letic, dramatic, and musical clubs, whose practices, rehearsals, games, and performances fill the term time and the brief vacations alike. But it is the social organizations into which the thought, the energy, the initiative, the enthusiasm of the largest number of men go, and go in lavish measure.” Do not misunderstand me. I firmly believe that the activities mentioned by Wilson have a place in college, but we should not per mit a situation which forces the college to find a place for these activities. Today, in the midst of a social revolution, more signifi cant perhaps than any in the world’s history, we find many col lege students apparently oblivious to the tantalizing and perplexing societal puzzles which must be solved by the leaders of today and tomorrow if civilization is to re main civilized. In fairness to our students at Oregon, I wish to state that one can notice a marked sobering at titude spreading throughout our student body. The depression has sent to us more serious minded young men and women—students more conscious of the fact they must rise above the ranks if they are to fulfill their obligations anu pay ineir aeDls to the people of the state who support the insti tution that gives them the ad vantage of a higher education. There is less of the purely rah-rah spirit and more of a desire to search for true values. The ideal scholastic attitude has not been icached but it is encouraging to notice at least a flickering spark of serious purpose. Mass production in education has brought another serious evil poli tics in education. Particularly is this true of state universities and colleges. Fat budgets, extensive plants, large congregated econom ic groups of students and faculty have been juicy fillings for politi cal pies. My friends, if those fin est scholastic traditions of univer sity training and culture are to be preserved, politics, and all the ne farious practices that go along with it, must be kicked out oi higher education. We need to study anew the definition of a university —a congregation of scholars and studets organized for teaching and study in the higher branches of learning. , We need to remembet that a state university is not a mu nicipal institution of the city in which it is located. We need tc protest the practice of small groups of city and state politicians proposing to speak for a univer sity and its faculty and students. That leads me to another obser vation. A university is not a fac tory or a department store and cannot be organized as such and retain the characteristics of a uni versity a true university does not consist of a general manager/a superintendent, a general foreman and a host of assistant foremen and then a large body of faculty employees. The conception that taculty men and women are mere employees must not go unehal enged. because that conception is devastating to faculty morale. here is a need to recognize that taculty members are highly trained specialists and scholars and con stitute a professional class of at east as high standing as 'doctors lawyers, engineers, and other pro ess,onals. you do not want your khs and girls trained in the quali ties ot leadership by teachers who ire denied the privilege of partiei t'trlmg- in the formation and -wm tenane'e of the standards and gov ernment of the university in which your children seek training to rise above the ranks. For the past decade or more there have been many who have urged that universities should be organized and run as industrial plants with the vertical authori tarian organization characteristic of such plants. “Business organi zation,” “business practices,” “bus iness efficiency,” have been the catchwords of these rapists of the souls of state universities. Fortu nately, the collapse of the mate rialistic philosophy of American big business promises a change in emphasis in ' university adminis tration. Gradually, the friends of higher education in many states are returning to the principle that a university should be organized on a horizontal democratic plane, that its policies, educational stan dards, curriculum, and personnel should be determined by coordin ated groups of faculty, adminis trative officers, and boards of edu cation, each group regulated by reasonable checks and balances, and all jointly responsible to the people of the state. It is interesting to note that the people of this state,’ when they created the University of Oregon by legislative charter, fully appre ciated the virtues of horizontal or ganization.

Dear Editor: I have been interested in the, tempest which rages within the janitorial system and about the: system. At times in the past ij have thought that probably thej Emerald was searching for an is sue, but this time the issue seems 1 to have been real. So real has it become that within the force and its administration there is con stant discussion. Today I. and several other stu dents who were listening interest edly, were in a campus building, when a janitor’s superior attempt ed to secure the janitor's opinion on conditions imposed upon them. Evidently the janitor’s opinion was not favorable to the status quo. and his superior immediately let him (and the listening students) know that he had responded wrongly. The janitor maintained his position, and we thereupon heard loud talking, in., volume1 which would announce to the en :ire building that a disagreement was in progress. : My interpretation of this scene would be that the uncomplimen :ary language and loud voice was neant to intimidate the janitor in o making a favorable statement ibout the present system. Of :ourse. he did not do this. Is this statement of any value o your campaign E. Ij. S. 1 the president and professors, was intrusted with the immediate gov ernment and discipline of the Uni versity, and was empowered to recommend to the board of direc I tors a course of study. Further, * by this: act, the faculty in conjunc tion with the president was in trusted with the control of the students. The legislative act of 1876 made clear that the president and pro fessors constitute the faculty of | the University and as such shall govern the University and regu i late the students therein. Further, the act provides that the faculty shall have the power, subject to the supervision of the Board of Re gents, to prescribe the course of j study. The legislative act of 1929, cre I ating the state board of higher i education, did not repeal the acts I of 1872 and 1876. I know of no rule of statutory interpretation that justifies the conclusion that the act of 1929 supersedes the acts of 1872 and 1876. But the act of 1929 the Board of Higher Educa tion is given all the powers of the old Board of Regents and the act instructs the board specifically to (Continued on Page Three) The Emerald Greets — A LITTLE dope on the cele bratees today—nothing confi dential, so they wbn’t feel hurt.
