THE ASTORIAN PUBLISHING CO.,
DEMOCRACY OF COLLEGE LIFE.
Our wlt-or-otb.erw1se contemporary
. the New York American, almost aV
ways hai l surplus of advice tucked
away somewhere about Its person that
It la pleased to let out upon a benight
ed and groping world on the slightest
provocation.
"Too often," It says, as It note the
commencement periods approaching
close, "the Influence of the college is un
democratic. It gives to fools the sense
of belonging to a superior caste. The
kind of an aristocrat that real educa
tion makes never a snob. Don't
prldo yourtself on your degree, young
roan! Res'st the temptation to re
gard yo'ir degree aa a patent of nobil
ity. That notion betrays a mind too
small to receive education, which when
genuine gives a ma& the use of his
trains. Use them It you have them.
Don't pride yourself on belonging to a
class. Don't be a prig. Be an Am
erican." V -.-.' ;
All sensible enough tn a tray, says
the New York Commercial, but the ad
vice appears to be predicated largely on
, a vague notion that the college student
exists In an environment and amid In
fluences that set him apart from the
general run of the boys and the young
men of today. Time was wlen the
cloister life of the college was some
thing different from that of W out
side world when Its traditions and
practices n3ounjd caste and too of
ten bred prtgs and nincompoops. ' But
all that Is past tad gone, "
The Am?rlcin -.ollege life of today
is about as democratic as It well could
be. A boy finds his real level there a
little bit Quicker than he could on the
outside. If there is any sham or pre
tention or other foolishness about him
be is given absolutely no peace until
he purges himself of it or has it kicked
and cuftel and knocked out of him.,
And as to the . "sheepskin" why,
what college graduate, nowadays, ever
sees It after he takes it home and
shows it to the "governor" as a sort of
warehouse receipt for the goods? What
one ever tMnks of It again?
Our learned contemporary's advice
sounds like the echo of a pulpit note
from out of the forties or early fifties..

NEVER RESTED
To be tired out from hard work or bodily
exercisers natural and rest is the remedy, but
there is aa exhaustion -without physical exer
tion and a tired, never-rested feeling a weari
ness without work that is unnatural and shows
some serious disorder is threatening the health.
that "Always-tired, never-rested condition" is impure blood and bad circu

UNIVERSITY GROWTH...
During the year Just closing, Chicago
university bus received, through gifts
paid, a total of J!,M0.0t,T$, and m the
same periol has secured promises of
gifts to come aggregating fi.H9.S5,
.. Either of these sums Is consider
ably in excess of the annual resources
of any one of the state universities In
the northwest which have been hereto
fore regarded, by their promoters at
least, as In competition with the Chi
cago Institution, says the Butte Inter-
Mountain, .
Common sense as well as consider
.ittons of economy will suggest that
there be an end to the unequal and use-
hs rivalry and thaw the superior po
sition and advantages gained by Chi
cago university be conceded and made
'o profit the state colleges in the sur
rounding territory Instead of serving as
n Incentive to envious and unjust
criticism, whk-h can only impede the
magnificent work Inaugurated at Chi'
cago, without benefit to anybody. The
management of Chicago university
makes this desirable change In con
ditions comparatively easy by emph
siring research rather than undergrad
uate study aa the chief object of Its
work. . ,
No state university can keep pace
with the Chicago educational enter
prise for the one sufficient reason that
the citUens of no state will consent to
be taxed to maintain rivalry with such
generous private endowments as have
been gathered in support of Chicago's
university, especially to no better end
than the duplication of equipment sad
talent for advanced educational work
within a territory which properly
should constitute one field for work
of this character, Michigan, Wiscon
sin, Iowa, Minnesota, and other well
established universities in the middle
west will lose nothing in character and
must gain in attendance by recognli
ing the wider evope and different char
acter of the work of the Chicago instl
tution, and by utilising the advantages
it offers Instead of seeking to combat
and lessen its Influence and usefulness.
To assume, as the practice has been in
some of these states, thatknowledge
provided by Individual munificence Is
dangerous to the public and that the
state should establish a monopoly in
the good work because private gener
osity presents dangerous competition
with state colleges, is quite as absurd
as it would be for Montana to seek to
disparage established colleges offer
ing extraordinary advantages to stu
dents, or to abandon the excellent work
begun at Missoula, merely because the
comparative newness of her own uni
versity and the undeveloped state of
her great resources does not permit her
to offer equal opportunities , to her
young men and women at home.
