“Went to sleep again in ZY class tock*\ He’s getting woise
than e\ ci. Xe\ or saj an\ thing woi t)i taking notes on.” Usual,
if not ouhnaiy c*\oi\\da\ con\ersation And. Odd’s Bodkins,
Mi uth ’
Not onlv in ZY class, but in almost eveiy lectin e course, out
sule-of those confined to msfmical as dates and
names, we find hit; —well no. not fiftv, but peihaps setenty per
cent nt the students ha'mg a haul time stifling the inevitable
\awn. A twentv-mmute wait at the beginning of each lecture
hour is enough to mfoi m them that theic aie to be no notes worth,
talcing toda\. ’Hie lectme v ill be a tot ol bunk—boloney, if you
will.
It seems that the pi ofes.soi s and mstruetoi s w ho give lectures
take them more as a m.ittei ol com sc than do the students, a lec
ture is something to be gnen to l .in hour betoic, or rather, at, a
class of doling imbeciles Most ol the leetmes are wordy disser
tations on nothing and would sing to sleep c\en the most degreed
doctor happened lie to be among the “lislenci.s.”
Facts aie inteiesting when Uie\ are presented in an appeal
ing mannei The onlv appeal that is c\ci presented with the
tacts in most ot oui lectuic touij.es is a request tliat students in
the fiist ten ions confine their sleeping piaelicum to the bedroom.
Wouls, wouls, wouK and more words’ Meaningless woids,
small wouls. long wouls, ioieign words, two-dollar-and-fifty-cent
w ords until a student di aw s a lew uii cicatui es m his notebook and
di ops olt to a deep shtmbei ’ ZThat is the usual
let lure
Theic is no mlcicst cieated. no motnalion present between
speaker, subject and audience Tlieie must be some outside ele
ment intioduced in ouler to secuie the attention of the student
who has made up his mind that here is an opportunity to knock
off a few minutes’ communion with the* gicat god Morpheus. The
lcctiueis aie inteiested. it seems, onlj m wouls, not in subject or
audience
Let’s li.uc a connection between the hcareis and the speaker,
between the sleepeis and the singsong pipei. Let’s have more
mc.it and loss boloney m the lectures. Until then—ah, Sweet
Dreams, present thjself often.
FOR THE STUDENTS ONLY
At last a pure ”um\cis>ty'' where gencial courses of study
v’dl ho abolished and i(‘search woik will have a fiee rein looms
on ihe educational hoi uon Johns Ilopkms plans to eliminate the
pndiininai \ woik of the lieshrnan and sophomore years and ad
mit onlv -Winnls with the necessary menial equipment to con.
conbale on iescan.li Bachelor degrees will also go into the dis
card and the dcgieos of Master and Doctor of Philosophy will bo
eonfoi red on woi Lliv (andulales. Now America will have a “uni
\ersiLy” comparable with the famous research colleges of Europe.
’Phis unuMial plan ol Johns Ilopkms is not a new idea, the se
(iiicsiered monasteries of the Middle Ages accomplished an identi
cal purpose. Behind their dial) walls the gieat scholars of that
ve fathomed the woi Id’s pioblcms and hoaidcd then* knowledge
that it might remain undefiled by barbarian minds. Mas.s-pro-.
duct ion by the colleges cannot create Newtons and Pasteurs. It I
is the demand for such men that necessitates universities of re- j
search. .... . I
Put what will be the result of such an institution where ;
knowledge is supremo. Not champion football elevens or trophy
gathering ti ack teams but specialists in art, science and literature.
A group of savants \crscd in theory but divorced from the busi
ness and engineering woild. And hcie the present day Ameri
can college bridges the abyss by furnishing a connecting link be
tween the world and the pmc “university.”
That there is need lor the research university is certain.
May their nurnbei multiply. Cut the death knell has yet to sound
foi the mass-pi oduction college.
