An Epilogue for Collegians
TIIK fiownsmon heard n man whose
opinions he respects: declare the
other day. "I would rather nccept the
presidency of the United States than
risk becoming thp president of any ono
of these greoter institutions of learning
which are now seeking n head." Ills
remark was bnsed on u recognition of
the difficulties attending ".diversity nil-

nto jti nui ,mny m0rc like problems.
That then should lie nearly n score
of universities and colleges the presi
dencies of which nie now vncant speaks
for the reality of these difficulties. It
may be easier to find men capable thun
men willing to undertake such burdens.
Politics i- easier, for whatever their Im

talent, ns have thp protcssions. i.vcn

no inoie than in the excitement of
snatching time for it between class
looni and clas-room. The college pres
ident ha- onl honor, and not nlwa.vs
that nt home.
IN THK old days the college president
was n dignified elderly gentleman,
more or le-s of the clerical type, pos
sessed of the graces which adorn the
dinner table ami able to discourse edu
cational platitudes offhand with charm
and effect It was he who represented
tlie college in its outward aspect to the
woi Id, the public aspect which was ll-.il -ailv
an intenollegiate f unit ion Involv -
Ling the wearing of a gown. It vvns he.
too, who lepresentcil ine conege in us
business relations, socially tempered
through a board of overseers or trus
tees, and it wns lie who vvns always
ready to meet admiring visiting uliimnl,
whether the come individually to see
the old place and chat over what it was

wherein the College of Wlierevcritis bad

"no more, sir: over even Harvard

president was a bit of u martinet; for,
after all. it was onl through him Hint
the (otihl exist, much less enjoy nny
contact with those heads of letinement
and icvenue. their governing bonrd o

ous that onl he should charm the funds
out of reluctant pockets wherewith to

WITHOI T pursuing this pleasing
poilinit of a gentleman of the old
school anv fiirlhei. it must be obvious,
even to little .olligian-. that these are
not preci-elv the circumstances of today.
No universit presidency, not even the
