CHANCELLOR'S ADDRESS.
Last Friday morning at 10 o'clock, the usual general assembly of all students was held in the chapel. After an invocation had been delivered by Dr. Cord, ley, of Lawrence. Chancellor Snow spoke somewhat as follows. It is generally understood that the Honorable State Superintendent of Public Instruction had accepted an invitation to deliver an address here this morning. Owing, however, to unavoidable circumstances, he was unable to be present; hence I am sorry to find myself obliged to fill this position.
According to Dr. Von Holst, of the Chicago University, there is not one rea University on American soil. If we examine this statement, criticised by many, we shall soon understand the meaning of a University, as understood by such a historical scholar as Dr. Von Holst. In Germany the University work is done only by graduates of the Gymnasium. Such students are about equal in rank to students who have completed the work of our Sophomore year. Hence the term, University, as applied by Dr. Von Holst means an institution of learning where not only graduate instruction is given; but one where there is no undergraduate work done. University, as formerly used, meant such schools as supported the four faculties: of Arts, of Law, of Medicine, and of Theology. Even this classification cannot hold, for there are many institutions of learning not having those four faculties, yet doing better work in some one or more of them than do the schools having the whole number. Or there may be some institutions having more than four faculties, yet not the four named. If we consider the University as an institution of learning where the elective system prevails, the number of those schools is many. Schools where the last two years are given up to optional work are still more numerous. Considering the University with respect to the system of Post Graduate instruction, the Kansas State University compares favorably with eastern institutions. Despite the statement of Dr. Von Holst, our University is given that title in contradistinction to a college by a German authority. This authority is again somewhat rebutted by an editor of our prominent papers. Certain it is however that in spite of all the glitter and glamour attached to a foreign University, and notwithstanding the fact that these Universities have been extolled and magnified by persons attending them; there are persons who having attended American Universities such as Johns Hopkins, as well as German Universities, give their unbiased opinion in favor of the American institutions.
The great requisites however, of a University, are scholarly professors, large and comprehensive libraries, and excellent facilities, literary, historical, and scientific, for the use of both professors and their students. Without the thorough professors, the library and facilities are of little use; without the libraries and concomitants, good professors cannot be retained. Yet it would be absurd to expect that one institution could and did employ all the brightest and best intellects of this country. In all Universities there are, and must of necessity be, some bright men who are leading authorities on their subjects, others who are excellent but not unsuspassed.
It is surprising how, through their prejudices, parents allow themselves, and their sons and daughters to be duped in the educational world. Supposed superior religious advantages will often influence a parent to send his children to a school that bears only the name University; notwithstanding all the advantages offered for education by the state. The fact that inferior facilities offered by such schools under the term University work, is chosen by them in preference to our University instruction, is explainable only on the ground that parents consider the State University an irreligious in-
situation; when, as a matter of fact, which fact can be seen by merely cursory investigation, a large proportion of our professors are actively engaged in the work of their respective churches.
Other schools may offer short courses and require no entrance examinations; they may invite you to come when you please and leave when you wish; the University of this state will always sustain long courses of study, it will ever maintain a high standard for admission, and when you have completed the course of study your diploma will be recognized by other Universities of the world as equivalent to a certain amount of knowledge and intellectual training.
Almost every student contemplating a University course is confronted by the stupendous question, "Does it pay?" He must of necessity consider the time required for preparation, the four years' college course, the two or three years for professional training added thereto; and it requires a strong will for the average student to resist the temptation to go immediately into business or professional work. Yet we must all remember that the graduate student, despite all this time spent in training, rises to positions of prominence at least two years before his non-graduate friend for every year spent in the University. This, in itself, should be an important reason why irregular and special students should seriously consider the question of becoming regular students. Certainly of all the ex-students, non-graduates, scattered throughout this state there are but few who do not regret what they lost by not graduating, in the way of mental discipline, power of thought, knowledge acquired and satisfaction of accomplishing great results.
The botanical student who has not developed the power of observation enough to determine a useful plant from one dangerous to the material interests of his fellowmen reflects no credit on his college training. An entomological student who cannot discern a useful insect from a deleterious bug without going through the process of analysis, is certainly not an aid to his fellow scientists. The classical student who has studied Latin and Greek for a series of years and in after life memories none of the beauties of the language is most assuredly no ornament to his profession. This thoroughness must be obtained by daily drill, conscientious study.
You, as students of this University through the generosity of the state, have placed at your disposal, eminent professors, a comprehensive and growing library area and facilities for all of your study. Whether you will be benefited thereby depends upon your personal exertion, your own mental labor.
