The discussion of the question of shortening the course for the A.B. degree is Increasing In Interest President Eliot, having turned four' Vrs into three,' undertook to defend his action at the recent meeting of New England college presidents at Middlebury, Vt. He showed that by means of work in vacations (which is. not done, by the way, by undergraduates), by raising the standard of ad mission to the freahtnan class; by a greater Intensity of work, the studies of four college years may be jammed Into three. He frankly confessed that he, was yielding to the pressure of the material world, and .that the crle of the professional schools were' ringingln his ears. He met a calm, and apparently an -exasperating, resistance from the presidents and other representatives of the small colleges. President Tucker of Dartmouth pointed to the fact that the proportion of undergraduates who were not going to enter professions is increasing, and he urged & proper regard for their Interests. He took, a position 'that must appeal with increasing force to those who want an education for the mere sake of Its discipline and of Its enlightenments, that the youths, who go to college for the training and illumination of the course which leads to' the B.A. degree have a right to demand the fullimeas-1 ure of'the liberal culture of which this degree Is 'the sign and seal. He was followed by the president of the Middle- bury College, who made a strong plea for ripening leisure, which President Eliot rather sensitively construed' Into a plea for idleness. It was, however. In reality a strong and convincing statement of the claims of the spiritual element of the students. In brief, the 'meeting showed a decided Inclination or the part of the small college to follow In the way pointed out by Williams last summer, at the in auguration of Dr. Hopkins, ' and - emphasized a fortnight ago by President Woodrow Wilson. at Princeton. There seemed to be foreshadowed t'n Interesting struggle be tween spirit and matter, and it Is in keeping with the ad mirable traditions of the Small colleges of New England that they are sure to give battle for the finer and the spiritual side.
