SATURDAY, JANUARY 8. 1910.THE DAILY MAROON with Byrne, the West Point cadet.the man who is injured in a footballgame is the man whose energy isspent."Now if football is a brutal gameand if the possibility' of injury (whichin the minds of some persons is syn­onymous with brutality) is largely de­termined by the physical condition ofthe player, then the real issue is,would two extra preliminary practicegames tend to put the members ofthe Wisconsin team in better orworse condition? The answer is ob­vious. Light practice games by grad­ually hardening the men, preparethem to withstand the greater strainof heavier games, and this bettertraining in turn decreases the so­called brutality or opportunity of in­jury. If footbll is brutal, then un­doubtedly two extra early-seasongames would tend to lessen the bru­tality of the game."As for the men whose nervoussympathy for the football playercauses them to tremble for his safety,but two positions are open. Theymust either come out frankly for theabolition of the game, or else theymust stand for the two extra gamesin order to minimize the very 'bru­talrty' which they claim is the evilbane of the sport.

No, dearie, I just satdown to rest my knees.Editor The Daily Maroon:A large proportion of the studentsof the University are residents ofChicago who find it: necessary in com­ing to school to use the CottageGrove avenue street cars. The serv­ice on this line has been vastly im­proved since the days of the cable,but there is still room for a greatdeal of betterment.Still it is odd that nearly everymorning when I reach 43rd street andCottage Grove avenue at about tenminutes after 8 I have to wait any­where between five and ten minutesfor a Cottage Grove car. If this oc­curred but once in a while I shouldhave no complaint. Bnt it is not ex­aggeration to say that, on an average,I hve to wait three mornings out ofevery five.This last week the weight has beenparticularly onerous. Of course I re-,alize that the inclement weather hascaused a great deal of delay in thecar schedules. However, the block­ade, or whatever it is that causes thecars to be late seems to occur everyday at the same time-just when theUniversity students are on their wayo the campus \Vhen, after standingon the corner with freezing feet, a carcomes along it is always so crowdedthat one can hardly get in. After thefirst car there always follows a num-ber of others, showing that there hasbeen some sort of a blockade.I have attempted for two years topuzzle out why the delay occursevery morning at the same time.

The sub-ject of brutality has-eviderrtly again been ad'\·anced as areason for shortening the schedule ofgames. This phase of the situation is,treated as follows:After the arguments pro and con-regarding a seven-game schedule .havebeen threshed out on the baSIS ofmeans toward a winning team anddisturbance of scholastic endeavor,now steps forward the man who harpsback to the old 'brutality' argumentand says that since football is a brutal,game, the less we have of it the b�t­tcr and hence five games tend to mm­imize the danger of injury incurredby the individual players."Let us consider the se'\'en-gameproposition in the light of that argu­ment. If football does subject theparticipant to the risk of injury(which no one can deny that it does)it must also be agreed that the pos­sibility of injury is in large measuresdetermined by the physical conditionand previous seasoning of the play­er. The ordinary man with no pre­liminary training would not last tenminutes on the gridiron. Even if hedid manage to stay in the game, allcoaches and trainers agree that hisexhausted condition would expose himto a far greater liability to injurythan would be possible in the case ofa 1;layer who had received the properpreliminary prf'p:uation.

This fearemboldens them -to badger the deanfor. better grades and to rake up everyscrap of credit from their kindergar­ten period to the present. \Ve over­hear bits of conversation like this:"Why are you taking Head Pro­fessor A.'s course? Don't you knowthat Dr. B. is much more interestingand helpful?""Yes, I know. don't care a bitfor A.'s stuff, but his name will countfor more on a recommendation thanany other."That is the other side of it. Butit is the universities which are toblame for the exaggerated value thatprincipals and presidents and boardsput upon degrees, and it is the uni­versities which should lead in the re­form. Then the university professorwould come to regard himself as dif­ferent from an athletic coach train­ing for an intercollegiate contest.One of the novelties of the Colum­bian Exposition was a moving side­walk. The University of Chicagowas constructed on the same plan.You get on whenever you want to,and you go as far as you like. Oneof the students who registered at thebeginning in 1892 received his degreein 1907. Each quarter is to a certainextent complete and independent.This has the disadvantage of requir­ing some repetition of common cours­es and' of breaking the continuity ofa study .. The break, however,· is us­ually only a formal one for a studentin continuous residence, and thereare some decided advantages in theplan besides the obvious one of con­venience to irregular . students. Ittends to promote concentration ofeffort. Instructor and student getdown to 'business quicker and wasteless time at the end. Instead of giv­ing the students a week or two forpreparing for examination and forother purposes, the final recitation pe­riods are utilized for examinations.Wherever there; is a -summer schoolit lias produced '\:'u"6Liceabtc-i,=ffect inthis respect o�;�t�e character of theteaching in the. rest . of the year.June seems a" long' way off to an in­structor starting' his' lectures in Oc­tober, but he: can see the end of hissix, eight or twelve weeks'�' coursefrom the beginning, Consequentlythe professor of' chemistry .does notspend so much time talking aboutphlogiston at the start that he has. toleave out radium at the end. Procras­ination and dilatoriness are the com­mon vices of the scholastic tempera­ment. Much that passes in collegiatecircles for leisureliness is what theouter barbarians call plain ordinarylaziness. Any measure which tendsto correct these evils should beviewed with favor.President Harper would have gonemuch farther in the way of concen­tration of attention if he could. Whathis ideal was may be guessed fromwhat he did when he had a free hand,as in the summer schools he startedten years before the University wasfounded. He gave his beginners inHebrew four hours of recitation worka day, five days in the week. for tenweeks. His plan for the Universitywas that a student should take buttwo studies at a time, a major and aminor, reciting ordinarily twice a dayin the first and once in the second.Apparently the plan did not workwell. At any rate, it was soon vir­tually abandoned.�(ost of the students now takethree courses at a time with a fewother things thrown in. and many takeiour or more courses, as in other uni­vcrsrtrcs. The practice of doubledaily work is stitl kept up in Dr. Har­per's old class of elementary Hebrewand in some of the laboratory and re­search studies, but not in many otherclasses. Still, I think that, owing tothe combined influences of the orig­inal plan. of the summer work and ofehe quarter and term divisions, workat Chicago is less likely to be undulydiffused and prolonged than in theother universities. I wish the two-course system had been longer tried.for it might have served as a correct­ive to the preaviling evil of scatteredwork. Almost all the universities arenow trying to shorten the collegiateperiod or to get more work out ofthe students. but as our present cours­es are made to s�it the leisurely stu­dent taking more work means takingmore kinds of work., That is, the bet­ter the student the worse his classschedule. than it has ever striven to train menfor 'the highest citizenship and themost effective service in the world:'Defends Football in Colleges.Prof, Edwiq J.

"Yousee, there were two of us fellows whofailed in Latin, and they said wecould make it up this quarter, butthere are twelve in the class, and allthe rest are gray-haired college pro­fessors or old-maid schoolma'ams,who have been teaching the stuff foryears and are back to get 'methods,'and the prof. is racing them throughlike lightning and pretending that hedoes it like that an the year round."Educators are fond of talking aboutthe desirability of students who lovelearning for its own sake, but whenthey get them they do not know whatto do with them. A large and increas­ing proportion of the summer stu­dents in the 'universities generally areof this type. They do not care tobother about credits and degrees;they want what these things stand for,but the various registrars, deans andadvisers make their lives miserable byinsisting on their being registeredand "checked up" and classified andput through the mill in the conven­tional order. There is, unfortunately,a prevailing opinion that a large pro­pontion of graduate students "notcandidates for a degree" is a disgraceto a' university. It ought rather to. beJooked upon as a credit, as an in­dication that the institution is attract­ing students who are after essentials.not symbols.The old theory of education wasthat a man should get his schoolingonce for all in his youth and be donewith it, like the measles. It was atone time actually thought that a col­lege course could be made broad andforesighted enough to give a man allhe needed in the way of external as­sistance throughout his future career.I f he came back-except to whoop itup on Alumni Day in a clown's cos­tume-it was felt as a reflection onthe university for not having done itswork thoroughly when it had him.They say that a man should be inde-·'p<t'1den.t -and prove his manhood bynot running to his mother wheneverhe gets into .trouble, but this assumesthat Alma Mater. like mortal mothers,gets antiquated and enfeebled in in­tellect as she grows old, which isofiten, but not necessarily the case.Whether a man wants to come backto the university for help in after lifedepends on whether the university isa reservoir or a spring. If it is astorehouse of static information hecan get along without it. If it is pro­gressive and creative he wilt be drawnback to it repeatedly for inspirationand insight.The greatest service that the Uni­versity of Chicago has rendered tothe country has been in breaking upthe phalanx and giving the irregularsa chance. It has been less worriedthan some -institutions over its un­classified graduate students. It hasbeen hospitable to all sorts and con­ditions of men and as many varietiesof women. It has met the earneststudent half way. It has even wel­comed returned Ph. D.'s It has beenrespectful of gray hairs. Last sum­mer an instructor had in his class astudent who had been graduated fromDartmouth the year before the in-structor was born. That is the prop­er spmt. I f men keep putting offtaking their "final degree" longenough they may get over wanting itand come to realize, even to admitwithout blushing, that the degree wasnot what they were working for afterall. The system of indeterminatesentence and release on probationmay do as much for the reform of theuniversities as it has of penitentiaries.I do not mean 10 say that all themen and women who have' beenbrought into the university by thefar-flung net of summer and exten­sion courses are of this unworldly andunselfish type. �Iany of them aresordid and mercenary. They have tobe. Every additional letter after theirnames means a few more dollars amonth and a little more ease and com­fort for those dependent on them.They compare with anxiety the grow- President Harper also wanted tohave much smaller classes and highersalaries than was the custom, butthese reforms could not be carried outon account' of the expense. To givethe University prestige from the startmen of renown were called to thehead professorships by the offer ofsalaries exceptionally high for thattime. This initiated a movement forthe raising of salaries all over thecountry, but it later caused embar­rassment as the University grew, andthe president found that he had notFortunatus's purse to draw upon.The subordinate professors and in­structors were inadequately and dis­proportionately paid, as they areeverywhere, and promotions werefelt to be an empty honor when thesalaries of the new men had to be ona lower level than those of the char­ter members of the faculty.

Chiaeo PRESIDENT NICHOLS INTALK ON COLLEGE AIMSSays Function of College Is to TrainMen for Leadershipin Life.Ernest Fox Nichols, the new pres­ident of Dartmouth college, picturedthe change in the aims of the collegein the last forty years in an addressbefore the alumni of Dartmouth atthe University club. Specializationwas declared by him to be the key­note of the situation."The purpose of the college todayis to train men mentally and morallyfor leadership," he said. "The greatchanges which have come about inthe college curricula in the last gen­eration are not due to any change ofpurpose, but rather to the changedrequirements for leadership. Ourmodem civilization has so incre-asedin complexity and the field of know 1-'edge has become so broad that lead­ership is no longer general, but hasbecome specialized.Threefold Aim in the Past."The aim of the older college wasthreefold, to give mental and moraltraining- intellectual interests. andscholarly tastes. But with the growthof scientific knowledge the world hasmade greater demands upon the col­leges. The increased application ofnatural science to medicine. engineer­ing and the industries. and the appli­cation of economic principles to ourgrowing commerce has len-gthenedthe epriod of study required for pro­ficiency in every important calling.We can no longer train men for ef­fective service by holding to a singlecourse throughout four years."The modern college has thus been'forced to add a fourth to the three­fold aims of the older college. Itnow must provide a point of depart­ure from which its students may gobetter prepared into the professionaland technical schools of their choice.To accomplish this many new sub­jects have been added to the curricu­lum and elasticity introduced into therequirements. A student may choose.a broad line of study which witt aidin his future professional studies."The college is striving harder The ShinerHoliday Suggestionsat theMen's Shopbefore you leave for homeThe Hatter63rd & Ellis Av�E.

Says People were Deceived by Sen­ators and House in Recent Po­litical Debate.H. Parker Willis, Washington rep­resentative of the Journal of PoliticalEconomy, again holds up the tariffbill as the result of political chican­ery in the current issue of the maga­zine. That both parties connived topush through a measure full of jok­ers. and.» that the long period of de­bate in both houses was merely stage(play for the purpose of deceivingconstituents is the opinion advanced."It is not too strong a statement tosay that the House debate on the tar­iff is a curiosity in the history of fis­cal lcgislretion. Practically at no timeduring the course of the discussionwas there the slightest opportunity.eithcr for genuine argument or foramendment of crucial paragraphs.The t rule which had been hrought inby ,the controlling clique for the pur­pose of governing the discussion pro­vided that general debate should lastfor an indefinite period. and that thenthe bill should be taken up and car­ried to a vote with an actual Oppor­tunity of balloting only upon certainspecified commodities. The debateitself. if such it could be called. con­sisted merely of a series of oratoricaLshots in 1he air.Speeches Stereotyped."Chairman Payne led off with alengthy speech of the stereotyped po­litical variety. in which he sought toshow that the proposed bitt constitut­ed a great advance over previous leg­islation. �Iost of �Ir.

I n the whole gloomy episodethere was nothing to suggest a con­trolling purpose in the discussion or asystematic presentation of facts andfi"gures on either side. The fact wasthat a determination to pass the tariffin substantially its existing shape hadhcen arrived at. that the votes hadbeen delivered. and that the prelim­inary debate was intended merely forthe purpose of 'making good.'"UNION HOTEL& RESTAURANTWill 6ad RestauraDb OD two OoonWill 6ad a special Arte -"'IheatreMenuWaD 6ad Splendid Semc:eSerriDg ODIy the Belt the Masket Alonlarmal Orcheca ia the City.Hold Your F.-emity aDdAIumDi Diaoea Here111-117 Randolph StreeBEGINthe New YearRIGHT--0-By Subscribing for THEDAILY MAROON-0-All the news of . theCampus hot from thepress before breakfast.One Dollar the Quarter. one to two years.NEWS OF THE COLLEGESPurdue reports 34 candidates forche "'indoor track squad.A ten-minute intermission betweenclasses has been instituted by the fac­ulty at Illinois.Yielding 10 a petition of the studentbody. the faculty at Purdue extendedthe Christmas vacation to two weeks.A new chapter of Sigma Xi, thehonorary scientific research society,has been formed at Purdue univer-sity."Uncle Jimmy" Ottley. for 50 yearsa janitor and custodian at the Univer­sity of �fichigan. died recenrly, aged9S years.Two students have been dismissedby the council at Illinois for allegeddishonesty in respect to submittingclass exercises not their Own.Punishment by ducking will be met­ed out to students of the Universit)of Washington who did not partici­pate in the underclass scrap.According to Professor Miner ofthe University of :\Iinnesota. four­fifths of the backward students in thatschool are from well-to-do familiesA controversy has arisen at Cam­bridge because some of the citizensdo not think that Harvard should beexempt from taxation. and claim thatthe college property is a burden tothe community.Several girls at Vassar college putone of their number under the influ­ence of hypnotism. and were unableto awaken her, and as a result the'l>resident has forbidden any morepractice of hypnotics' there.Prizes to the amount of $500 havebeen offered to seniors of the Univer­sity of Illinois by the J.
