Adame Advertitiag Make p. ace with thy God last you too Ua In Flanders field." —Lon Angeles J. C. Collegian FRIENDS, ROMANS,.. Many years ago. in a speech to the Princeton Alumni. President Wilson said: “I have been very often approached by parents who desire to know if in my opinion they should send their sons to college, and if so, wheth.-r they should send them to Princeton. ... I inquire as narrowly as I may into the circumstances of the family and very often find myself regretfully obliged to adVise them against sending their sons to four years of miscel laneous distractions in an unreal and mimic world/ Utor, when I was instructor under Mr. Wilson, he objected to my method of teaching as lacking '"discipline," and said that one of the great objec tives of a college education was to discipline the mind IVinceton may have changed since my day, but . . . my feeling is that Mr. Wilson’s desire to produce graduates of disciplined mind has not yet been realised. I believe that the young men in my office are fundamentally better disciplined in three months than they are in four years of training in aay university. I do not know what “college" is intended to do I know what seme colleges profess and I know that other* profess nothing; but it seems to me that the one thing which college training can do for a man that the hard experience of an office cannot is to give him a general cultural background from which he may select the kind of knowledge and of life for which his spirit is hungry. The real things I got from Princeton were more or leas by accident or by some instinct of my nature which led me to the men who could give me what I needed, and gave it outside the regular curriculum ... If it were possible for a boy of fifteen, as I was when I entered college, to know what I do as a maq of fifty-seven. I would aay to hell with the curricu lum; make intimate contact with great minds. . . . We have such men, and they are the people who make the College worth while. But were I a boy of fifteen again, I would not know how to seek them. —Aymar Embury in The Princeton Alumni Weekly I (Note: This series of sketches of “Eleven Prophets of Modernity" will be concluded next week).
