THE REVILED STUDENT. ' '
Pity the poor student. He toils not, neither does he
spin, says President Lowell of Harvard university, but of
all the human classes he is the most vilified, condemned,
depreciated, and denounced. The way the college man is
talked -about sometimes one would think he had no friend
in the world and that of all his enemies he himself is
the worst. . ' ' '
In an address before the Association of American Uni
versities President Lowell adjudged the college student
"a sluggard, a doltish creature, who must be pushed into
proper courses of learning and held there, else he will'
elect the less difficult courses and pass through four years
of collegiate work with a minimum amount of mental ef
fort." And in the same day's news another educator ap
plied such alien and unspeakable terms as "radical, emo
tional and inflammable" to the American undergraduate,
to which a third degree-toter replied in no more compli
mentary terms that the college student is none of these,
but is "indifferent to political problems and not susceptible
to suggestion."
As to the charge that the student is doltish and a slug
gard, the majority of them are and admit it withWTtliame.
In doing so they are merely more open and frank than the
rest of us. It's-true that the average college student tries
to select as easy and pleasant a way through his four years
ns is possible-r-but does the average graduate or the aver
ago man or woman who hasn't gone to college do much
differently? Where is there a majority of citizens who
seek always the hardest way, the most difficult job? Who
is it that selects the most trying conditions under which
to labor in preference to the most pleasant conditions?
Where can we find the man who, in his school . days', se
lected 'the most difficult studies and devoted his whole time
to thorn for the sake of mental development and future
agility of mind? .
Is there a larger percentage or time-wasters and dul
lards in the colleges and universities than in the offices,
factories, professions, on the faim and in business? Not
every man and Woman in an institution or learning' is a
student in the sense of being devoted to learning. In
every line of business and industry and in every occupation
nnd profession there are self-made successes and self-made
failures. One of the deplorable conditions of our colleges
today is that they are filled to over-flowing with average,
ordinary people while many of 'the minority who might
make more of the opportunity are prevented from doing so.
lint it is a condition that is not peculiar to the colleges of
the country.
College students may not be the hard, serious workers
that some college presidents would have them be, but we
imagine the same might be said of the majority of the
bends of our institutions of higher learning. Perhaps they
might work harder. That a majority of them do not is
due merely to the fact that mot of our college presidents,
like most of our students and most of our citizens, are
just average. And it takes a lot of average people to make
up a world.
