SUBMITS FORTY QUESTIONS
Says Man in French or German Scnoo Could Pass Creditable Examination on Them.
Owen Johnson declares that the college men of today have no general knowledge, let alone real culture. Most of the colleges, he asserts, have become mere social clearing houses, whose students know only a few facts hastily crammed for examinations and promptly forgotten.
In his new novel, "Stover at Yale," which takes up the whole subject of American colleges, Johnson makes a character propose a list of forty general questions to a bunch of classmates. But as the story is laid in 1900, the test is not hard enough for today, says Johnson, though most of his readers admit that they cannot answer the questions in "Stover." Johnson has acquired a new list, with the help of every college student or graduate ought to be able to answer. Any man in a French or German university could pass a creditable examination on them. How many American collegians can, he asks.
