Sheldon’s address on “ The F u tu re of Science in Am erica,” furnished an o th e r interesting num ber in the series of lectures, based on the developm ent of universities and University life in Amer ica. He spoke in substance as follows: “ In the future we will hear much of the p a rt science is playing in the develop ment of our co u n try , for science has a u tilita ria n m otive and is the key-note to the m odern advance in civilization. “ Foreigners say th a t the American peo ple excel in a wide diffusion of general knowledge. This, no d oubt is true, but it is also true th a t America is excelled in the q u a n tity as well as in the q u a lity of her scientific know ledge bv some o th er countries, especially by G erm any. “ The reaso n sg iv en for the tact th a t wc do not lead in science are three: F irst, we are a new people confronted w ith eco nomic and in d u strial problem s and have not had time for science. This excuse, however, is o u t g ro w n now . Second, our educational centers are so scattered th a t scientific men do n o t have the o p p o rtu n ity of asso ciatin g w ith o th er experts in their line T hird, and m ost im p o rta n t of all, the o rg an izatio n of our University system is not such as tends to foster developm ent along scientific lines. Our men of high ability are obliged to spend their time in class room w ork and have no leisure for scientific research. The rem oval of th is difficulty will come w ith the developm ent of secondary schools which will relieve the universities and leave them freedom for the develop m ent of science. “( fur ed u catio n al system for m any years w as based on the English idea th a t a university should sta n d for the develop ment o f chai actcr w ithout specialization This view is good to a certain e x ten t but it underestim ates intelligence, the objec tive feature in any ed u catio n al system , and hinders scientific advancem ent. ‘‘A nother th in g highly d etrim en tal to scientific w ork is the fact th a t m any of our univeisities have disregarded effi ciency for num bers, and have come to regard ath letic and d eb atin g victories and social prestige as being the forem ost things. “ The qualities which make Americans so effective have been developed during the nineteenth century. At the beginning of the last century we were sim ply an itni ta tio n of E ngland, hut we have built up a high sta n d a rd of civilization which has broken dow n class distinction and has a tta in e d an excellence of high sta n d a rd “ The time is com ing when the student can say th a t the United S ta te s h as a sci entific system inferior to none in the w orld.” H. O. “ C hunk” Hill, In te rn a tio n a l Sec reta ry for the Pacific C o ast, visited the University F rid ay afternoon an d even ing and spoke to the men in the associa tion room a t four o ’clock. He spoke of the w ork the C h ristian A ssociation is doing in different p a rts of the w orld. The C h ristian A ssociation sta n d s for ser vice t ) men and its object is to show men th a t the life of unselfishness is the one th a t co u n ts after leaving school. Mr. Hill said th a t the chief w ork of perfecting the existing o rg an izatio n is done by s tu dent conferences, conventions, etc. In this connection he m entioned the Oregon- Id ah o S ta te C onvention to be held a t Salem, November 25, 26, 27, a n d urged th a t the U niversity be represented there bv a large delegation. R ates of one and one-third fare for the round trip will be g ra n te d and the dele g ates will be en tertain ed by the people of Salem and W illam ette U niversity as hosts. The proxim ity of the se a t of the co n v tn tio n should m ake it possible for a dozen or tw o of men to a tte n d . H arvey Wheeler can furnish all in fo rm atio n de sired a b o u t the trip to Salem, and will be glad to receive nam es of th o se who can go.
