Worcester's University.
Miss Held into the alpha Theta of Miss ming.
Since the announcement a year and a half ago of James G. Clark's intention to found a great university in Worcester there has been a great deal of speculation regarding the scope of the institution. One large building has been practically completed and another is well under way, and yet there has been no official announcement of the intentions of Mr. Clark and the gentlemen he has associated with himself in the management of the new university.
Some time ago it was announced that Prof. G. Stanley Hall, of John Hopkins University, had been selected for President of the new university, and it is known that he is in Europe on business connected with the institution. The public generally has had an idea that the new institution was to be like the other colleges of New England, and considerable feeling has been expressed among professional educators, against Mr. Clark's scheme on the ground that the money he proposed to give could be used to much better advantage by some of the institutions already in existence.
It has of late come to be understood in educational circles that the scope of Clark University will greatly differ from that of an ordinary college. In fact, for the present at least, there will be no academic course at Clark University. Its aim will be to meet the need of graduates of other colleges who wish to pursue studies in special branches to the fullest possible extent. Special attention will be paid to the various branches of mental and physical science. In short, it is hoped and expected by Mr. Clark and his associates that Clark University will eventually be able to offer to advanced students facilities for study and original research fully equal to those of the best German universities.
It is expected that the university will be open to students next October. So far the name of President G. Stanley Hall is the only one announced in connection with the Faculty of the university, but it is understood that several other specialists have been engaged, whose names will be announced before many weeks. Mr. Clark possesses great wealth, and it is generally believed the new university will not lack anything that money can supply. Associated with him on the Board of Trustees are United States Senator George F. Hoar, ex-Attorney-General Charles Devens, Stephen Salisbury, Col. John D. Washburn, City Solicitor Goulding, and other gentlemen of local prominence.
REED and K. S. U. is the cry, and Emporia is the place. Everybody is going and a great time is assured. It inspires a speaker to have a large number of his friends present. Hence it is the duty of all to go to Emporia next Friday, and see K. S. U. carry off the honors as usual. The fare has been reduced to a very low sum. You will perhaps never have so good an opportunity to visit the city of Emporia as now. Then go. Help
sing the college songs that stir up the enthusiasm of students. Shout and yell for K. S. U. until the notion that college spirit is dead in the University is entirely driven out of doubling minds . And whether victorious or not let Rock-Chalk-Jay-Hawk K. U. "reverberate oer the reverberating balls" till it can't reverberate any longer.
Exchanges.
The Student Life in discussing the subject of college papers says: "The real aim of a college paper is to benefit the students, and this aim is accomplished chiefly by the practice of expressing our thoughts which it affords, and the increase in self confidence which the knowledge that our attempts will be published gives after repeated efforts. Let a college paper be the work of the students, with an occasional word from our professors, to assure us that they are interested in our work and wish to help us in our perhaps feeble efforts." College journalism in K. S. U. has never been favored in this manner, and yet it flourishes.
The University of Wisconsin is agitating the question of abolishing commencement orations.
The following is going the rounds of the exchanges: "One-half of one per cent. of the young men of this country are college graduates; sixty-five per cent. of the Presidents of the United States have been college graduates; Vice-Presidents, fifty per cent.; Speakers of the House of Representatives, fifty per cent.; Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, seventy-three per cent.; Chief-Justices, eighty-three per cent.; Cabinet officers, fifty four per cent.
The examination system has been abolished at Amherst, and a series of written recitations given at intervals throughout the year has been substituted. This plan would be much better than the present one in K. S. U.
The gentlemen's literary societies of Oberlin have recently fitted up new halls at a cost of three thousand and five hundred dollars.
Smoking is on the decrease at Yale. Last year the number among the Freshman was 19 per cent., this year 16 per cent. who use tobacco.
One of our exchanges produces the following:
classmates and college friends, the accounts of events in which you took part, tricks and jokes that seem silly now, all will be most happy reminders of most happy days. Reading these papers will make you forget your silvery hair, your dim eyesight, your gout; you will fancy yourself once more in the school room, on the campus, in the literary hall, at the class-party.
We like to take our ease, sir,
With a damsel on our knees, sir,
And give her a hearty squeeze, sir,
To drive dull care away.
We think it no great hurt, sir,
With foolish girl to dirt, sir,
And then give 'em "the shirt," sir,
and wear an ear.
