Tho University Is tho outgrowth ot
tho oxporlonco ot n group ot ox-sor-vlco
men ,who formed tho Constitu
tional Dofonso Loaguo moro than a
year ago In ordor to vigorously" fight
Socialism In Wisconsin. They say
they reallrod at tho beginning that
much of the propaganda that has
boon wngod In tho past against Soci

thing, It hasn't ronchod tho nudlouco
that tho Soclnllstu talk to; It hasn't
boon founded upon a knowlodgo
tho psychology of tho radicals.
Tha Constitutional Dofonso Leaguo
undor tho leadership of Jack O'llrlen,
of this city, decided to try a now
theory. Thoy would Imltato tho Soci

on tho streets as sonp-uoxers, nnu

etond ot Involution. Thoy would
cbnllongo tho Socialists to debates
on nil occasions and hoist thorn ho
roro tho public on tholr fallacies,
Mr. O'llrlon nnd his Btaff carried out
tho program. In Hnclno, 8hoboygan,
Or oo n Hay, Manltownc, Wausau and
othor Wisconsin cities, ho soon began
to enpturu Socialist audloncoti.
Hut their was ono difficulty which
was Increasingly ovldont to tho
League And that was tho lack of
ntl-rovolutlonary propagandists;
tho lack or men who understood tho
Socialist philosophy well enough to
combat It on tho soap-box,
Out ot this roallxatlon, grow tho
Soap-Ilox University. Tho Leaguo do
cldod to train agltatore tor tho Am
organization cause. In Hnclno, class
sessions nro hold. For tho bonoflt ot
thoso outBldo ot Haclno, a corro
Bpondonco school Is maintained. Tho
corrospondonco school Is opon to all
who wish to prepare thumsolvos to
combat Socialism, otthor from tho
platform or Individuality. And it'is
tree Kvon tho text-books and tho
postngo nro turnlshod free' Slnco tho
(Irst nnnouncomont was mndo, tho
Leaguo has boen floodod with appli

To strongthon tho Unlvorslty, Har
old Lord Varnoy, mngaxino wrltor

a national leador In tho I. W. W. and
Socialist movement, has'been engag
