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.

Dear Aggies:
You have certainly been good sports about the
