HOFFMANN WORKED
WAY THROUGH SCHOOL
Secretary of Y. M. Washed Dishes to Gain Education at Wisconsin
at Wisconsin
Conrad Hoffmann, the general secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association at the University, was born in the city of Chicago. He attained a master's degree and was graduated from the Northwest Division High School.
He entered the University of Wisconsin where he took an active interest in the religious work of the Episcopal church and in the religious campaign that was held there while he was a student and it was during that time that he obtained much experience which he has used for his teaching. He met the Mott-Robins meetings this week.
Mr. Hoffmann worked his way through the university, washing dishes and doing whatever other work he could get to do. At the university he specialized in agricultural bacteriology and he was a professor of science in agriculture in 1906. The next three years he was an assistant in bacteriology.
In 1909, he went to Europe where he studied soil bacteriology at the universities of Halle and Gottinping. He was soon made assistant professor in bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin where he remained until he came to the University of Kansas in the fall of 1913 as general secretary of the Y.
Since Mr. Hoffmann became head of the University Y. M. C. A. it has been able to clear the deficit which was against it and it is through Mr. Hoffmann's influence that there are more members of the University Y. M. C. A. than there have ever been before.
Mr. Hoffmann is a member of the Kappa Phi Gamma fraternity; the Alpha Zeta, honorary agricultural fraternity; Alpha Chi Sigma, honorary agricultural fraternity; and the Sigma Xi, honorary scientific fraternity.

(Continued from page 1)
"Every application of inventive genius to the mechanic arts reduces the number of persons necessary to operate a machine; the result is a migration to the cities."
"Our frontier is gone and the adventurer turns to the city. Everyman in this age must live in connection with community life. He has no escape. If you live in the country you must go to the city life. You pay for the upkeep of the jails and the reformatories. No one can escape the cost."
Robins urged university men to study practical problems of modern life and work to solve them. He will speak again tomorrow afternoon and night.
Present Generation Has Heaviest Load of All
"Because of recent developments in social, industrial, and political conditions, the young men and women of Chicago have been strained than those of any other period of the world's history," said Raymond Robins of Chicago in his address at the University conventation in Robin at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
"The generation just past has seen the old individual mode of living give place to the new social mode of living. On the West side of Chicago, the children of a district of children has ceased to be a matter of individual control by their parents. The father works all day in a mill, and the mother toils all day at a garmen factory. The home is left vacant, and the children live little mothers. Children are being raised to lead criminal lives because of social conditions and bad environment. And the ill effects of the urban movement are felt by the farmer on the remoest farm in the farthest corner. That is why I am telling you about it."
"Small factories where the employers know their workmen are now the mark of 'left over' industrial capital. They have to rate control. The Kansas farmer who owns stock in a Pennsylvania steel mill can feel no direct moral responsibility for conditions in that milk. To some extent, that means a new social morality as yet unborn.
Women Not Invaders
"Women have not invaded any thing. They have always worked. But now their forms of industry have changed. The factory, and the women have been obliged to follow. Under the changed environment, they are subject to greater temptations than ever before. One evil woman can do more harm now than she did in the factory. A new chivalry is demanded of the men of the industrial world.
"Great changes in the political life of the nation are taking place. I be interested in woman suffrage, but I am not aware of it. I denote it on the women's shoulders."
Cites Yukon Example
"For the solution of these problems, I point out some of the things we learned on the last frontier of history, in the valley of the Yukon. Up there in the gold country we had to carry an axe, a knife and a forty below zero weather. Of the 20,000 who started on the long journey from Nome, only 1,500 ever got to the summit. They were the men with nerve. I remember one big fellow, a former half-back on the football team of an eastern university. It was a woman. I saw him on the steamer going north, eniwed him. You see, I have always been what you call a 'runt.' I saw him again nine miles from the summit. He was sitting on his outfit, with his mittened hands over his eyes. The mittens were wet, and it wasn't so cold. We say in the North that the things on the inside of a man are bigger than the things on the outside.
"Another thing we learned up there was the law of brotherhood, of the average strength of the team. We climbed hills in gangs of six, fastened together by a rope tied to our feet, and then carried us over the asse, the other five threw themselves on the ice and dug into it as best they could and thus saved the man from a fall to certain death. The responsibility rests there, as everywhere else, on the average, common, garden or house. There is no one man of great strength and ability, but by each and every member of the team.
We Move by Organization
"We Move by Organization
If there is a future master of destiny in this room, he is a man who knows, or will know, how to work with men. We move by organization.
He shall never forget my first visit to Waterloo, where I learned cheap Pennsylvania Avenue, wearing cheap 'pants' that missed the tops of my shoes by four inches, and a straw hat that cost a dime, and as I looked at the White House, I thought it must have been built by giants. It was so
big and I was so little that I wishec' I was back in the coal mine with the coal dust in my eyes. In the National Cemetery at Arlington, I saw a great monument, and wondered to what famous general it stood as a memorial. But the words on the bronze tablet at its base were, 'To the unknown dead.' Then the thought came to me that the word to light battles for human freedom; I can never be a great general, but I can be a private.
"Another thing we learned in the North was that nobody got any gold in Alaska that he didn't dig for. The prospectors prospected sitting around a stove in a store, never got anything. No doubt there are some hot stove miners in Alaska. Up there, we learned that things happen to people who make them happen.
Westward Movement Done
"You can't escape the important issues that are bearing down upon you. The westward movement is done forever. On March 28, 1898, I stood on a promontory looking over the hills of Bering Sea miles on snowshoes. Great icebergs, such as sunk the Titanic, lined the shore, hundreds of them. The sea was frozen solid three miles from shore. Now, the intense cold of the North does just what the heat of the ocean does. I sailed mirrages. As I stood there, I saw icebergs in the cliffs of Siberia, 90 miles away. I have actually seen them since, when steamed into Vladivostok. But that icey岸 of Bering Sea marks the end of the great westward movement that began in Asia so many hundreds of years ago. There will never be a frontier line in the world's march westward.
"Thousands of boys and girls today are born in tenements and reared in mills. They can not look to newfound lands in the west where they may go to reap their fortunes. They know nothing but to accept the cheap life of its cheap environment in the north. And you're cheap. You'll meet this problem face forward, or you'll meet it when it has run over you and whipped you.
Best Will Triumph
"I believe in the triumph of the best. But that triumph can not come through the medium of cold storage religion and politics. The man to take in respect to this duty is that of the self-compatible Parisease.
"Washington," the great man of privilege, gave all for the service of human liberty and Justice, Lincoln, Carnegie, Martin Luther King Jr. sacrificed everything for that cause. Our nation has been made by the unselfish services of men of all classes. The present generation must develop the moral muscle to cope with the injustices in our society. The great principle will make a great man. You must keep the faith.
Who Was Gettysburg Orator?
Who Was Gettysburg Orator? "Who delivered the memorial address at Gettytsburg?" asked Mr. Robins. The names of Lincoln and Edward Everett were given by people in the audience. "Both are right," said Mr. Robins. "Edward Everett made the formal address, and spoke for an hour and a half. Lincoln read the address with which everyone in the audience was engaged in the dollar bill. I will give it to anyone who can quote two sentences from Everett's address" no one in the audience could earn the money.
"Why is it that Lincoln's address has endured and shall endure as long as the English language? Because it has the power that waits only on the consecration of a human soul to the great adventure of the times. The men of education, men and women of the University, call you to this consecuration."
An audience of 1400 braved the snow storm to hear Mr. Robins' address. Chancellor Strong introduced the speaker.
