TURMOIL IS A SIGN OF HEALTH SAYS WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
Ideal Student Is Always in Revolt, for Conformity Is Fatal to College Youth. He Believes
A reporter for the Kansas walked into the office of William Allen White and his faculty members, university students are being suppressed these days. He told Mr. White that some of the students think the University is more appropriate than the faculty rather than for the students.
"Come on upstairs," said Mr. Whit
gently as he led the way to a en-
cluded room.
There in the little den, where there are books and comfortable rocking chairs, Mr. White seated himself and said, "The ideal student is always in revolt. A conforming student is a Bourdon to start on, who never learns to walk." We are all very much old. In my day in K. U. we were as ruthless as the bawns are today.

Wrote叶秋 College Paper
"I wore a tie and wore under the rom de phante of Bory Most a contemporary anarchist of unsavvy reputation. We thought the University was being suppressed, but we were being suppressed. I remember being a part and in the forefront of a student riot in Old Fashion hall, a student who was also a faculty and not only the faculty but the result who were in session, that I should prepare to have our style crumpled.
"One day the faculty had suspended Harry Valentine. He was the son of an associate justice of the Kansas Supreme Court, a criticism about the competence of one of the professors. He was wrong but bit wrong, though Harry's right remains public. Courter, his suspension caused widespread indignation. The whole student body, so far as I can remember, room when his case was pending and roared and eliminated for Valentine's reinstatement. He was rein-
Faculty Has to Clamp Down
"Time and again the faculty in my day at K. U. seemed to clump us down, and time and again we fought for it. The faculty were the encronachments of authority. It is always thin in any education that is close. It is the faculty's business to get the students into the business to kick up. And if the students don't feel cramped, something is wrong with the institution and they are stuck with the students. They are dead in K. U.
"We didn't have any sort of self-government in my university day. We never heard of it. We just met and talked about it, but we extended our public sentiment rather than having to organize institutions to express public sentiment."
"Whenever I hear in these days that there is turmoil among the students I am shud. It is a sign of the authorities, faculty, just a sign that the boys and girls are normal and are functioning after the manner of all youth from the age of 12."
Kansas Expects Good Preparation
"What does Kansas expect of students in high school?" the portter. "Are they there to be given an education as a money-making proposal?"
"Speaking by and large, I don't re-confirm education above the high school curriculum, primarily for making money except vocational education in law schools, medical schools."
"Now that's a very low type of school," Mr. White continued. "What a real school should teach a man is how to study. You can't teach a man has expectations not just a lot of well trained, well groomed, well tagged young lawyers, doctors, presidents, editors, and teachers." He explained what not to come plunging out of the front door of the University.
Mr. White went on to say that there should be two kinds of colleges: one kind for the young person who wants to work in business, and one kind for make contacts that will help him when he gives school to climb in his business, and while he is learning how to do business, he follows he is getting some of the rudiments of a profession, that is to say, he is going to a trade school, learning to be a lawyer, doctor, teacher, editor or

"Freaks"
"But what Kamas really needs is a group of young persons to come out with some idea about life and living. You are not supposed to appreciate the beauty that is Kamas and the airdress that is Kamas are beautiful, but Kamas' corner—who senses the joy of living in the best climate in the world with touches of the worst weather that the world has."
Should Know Traditions
"Kansas wants her students from the state institutions to know the traditions and history of Kansan as well as that of American and the world, to love and understand Kansas with her own unique weaknesses and much strength.
"She has a right to expect her young people to know, for instance, that geographically and economically there are more people in Eastern Kansas with an altitude of 4,000 feet and Eastern Kansas with an altitude around 800 feet, where these altitudes make men who in a way have two different evictions as the years go by. And above all, she is vastly more important than to know all too exactly what is in the text books. "And above all Kansas wants her boys and girls to be free. And to be free you must know the truth—the importance of nobility and his weakness, the truth about men in human relations which is the basis of our inspiration for justice, the truth about God which is a well spring of our urge toward truth."
**Let Students Fight Faculty.**
They must learn to fight in the University. So let them fight what they regard as irrelevant topics, but let them fight the shouldy. They must have moral indication. If they can't find anyone to fight but the faculty, let them fight
Let Students Fight Faculty
"It helps the lads and it keeps the faculty busy. Let them fight the chancellor, the board of regents, anybody, who wants to run it. That think is unfair to them, it makes no great difference. Youth in every generation must fight itself free. Heaven knows, the faculty and the board of regents may be depended upon for the entire school year. This is merely the愈发of youth and to treat it with common sense.
"But youth should always be in rebellion. Conformity is death to youth Later in life youth will learn to conform with wisdom, but at the bounce of adolescence you'll learn that the bases are run, youth should be in revolt-free, on its toes, rattle to go."
