Martin J. S. Weathers' that the University has to offer. They have genuine enthusiasm! for their classes, real interest m their students as human beings. Probably they never write any thing, never conduct exhaustive research or complicated experi ments. Many of these men have not attained the rank of profes sor, or even of associate profes sor. Yet they are far more val uable to the University and to the students than their highly touted faculty brothers. There are a few faculty men here who combine a widespread reputation as a scholar with real teaching ability and interest in their classes!- But these scholar-teachers may be enumerated the fineers of one hand. Under the modern faculty sys tern at institutions of higher learning,' those who gain nation al recognition because of extra- curricula activities are far more likely to receive the advance ments and rewards bestowed by the institutions than the rea teachers, who do not turn time, or perhaps do not have the abil- selves for different professions. Furthermore, a student often discovers during his first two years that his ideas about the profession that he intended to pursue when he entered college were wrong. This statement is substantiated by the large num ber of transfers, which take place between the various de partments of the University be fore the junior year. A uniform curriculum for the first two years of work in every department would almost en tirely eliminate this transfer grievance. After having been here two years, a student knows what he is going to do (if, in deed, he ever does know). Fur thermore, the same fundamen tals are needed for any and all professions. ; We firmly advocate a uniform curriculum covering the fresh man and sophomore years. C.

And-Mere Professors Many of the University's most renowned and conceited faculty members would be quite disagreeably surprised to hear themselves discussed by a group of their students. For the average undergraduate, de spite his multitudinous defici encies, is a rather capable judge of the true worth of his profes sors as teachers. Numbered among the mem bers of the University faculty are quite a few illustrious schol ars; men who have attained na tional reputations by writing books and participating in vari ous forms of activity that are not in-the least concerned with their abilities as teachers. Yet every person who has had classes tinder , these men know that comparatively few. of them are really capable of teaching a college course. On the con trary, far too many of these noted scholars are so occupied with their outside activities that they have lost all interest in their classes, all regard for their students as seekers after knowl edge. They impart the impres sion that thev recrard their teaching duties as distasteful, necessary but none the less to hp Hisnosed of with as little trouble and attention as pos sible. . ; On the other hand, it is evi dent to the thoughtful under graduate that there are many men in the faculty who have no widespread reputations outside of their state or even beyond the ranks of those who have taken cVmlns-hV farne and honors. Of the two groups of professors, the teachers who are not real scholars and the. scholars who are not real teachers, the for mer are far more valuable from an undergraduate point of view. Of course, the ideal faculty type is the teacher-scholar. But unfortunately such men are rare indeed. Many professors who would perhaps make good teachers if they were not so im mersed in the writing of their books or the conducting of their research, are utterly incompe tent as instructors. More recognition should be nven to the teacher, a greater share of the rewards of profes sorial labor should be his. Pe dants there are in plenty here, and some of them even achieve renown, but small salaries and obscuritv fall to the lot of the man who aspires to be a teacher first, and then a scholar. Undergraduates are some times swayed by narrow person al pre j udices and are deceived by popularity-seeking instruc- but their estimates of the Dr. A. Herbert Gray, address ing part ' of the freshman class in chapel Thursday morning, presented a graphic conception of the highest type of life as one having grown out of Christian ity. Dr. Gray, whose visit here has been looked forward to lor some time, was introduced by H. F. Comer of the Y.M.C.A. as the "parson from London." Dr. Gray combined interestingly m his talk in chapel references to relierious "principles and to more material affairs of political and social life. Introducing his theme, the English minister- said that he considered Christianity the most important .of all subjects. In spite of its importance, however, many people misunderstand the Christian religion because they fail to seek their information regarding it in the New Testa- ! nient.
