News Kditor This Issue— TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1026 THE COLLEGE PROFESSOR (From The McGill Daily) Professor Push is a pedagogue efficiency ex pert who.sits in iiis office dictating fetters to his stenographer, writing speeches for his latest ad dress in the optimistic manner before the lunch eon clubs and lecturing to students in broad plati tudinizing fashion. He is the most recent phe nomenon in institution's of the'highcr learning of this continent. His advent has been marked with the advent of faculties and advertising, and effic iency in the colleges and he marks the coming of big business info the university. Time was when professors were poor schol ars, unkempt and ragged, wearing horned spec tacles and poring over mighty tomes in the li brary. They could never quote the latest regis tration figures in their classes, they did not know their courses by number and lectured when enough students assembled to hear them. They were still carrying on the medieval tradition in the university—the tradition of the scholar who gathered a group of men around him and spoke to them, considered with them such problems as are yet eternal and continue to present difficulty to the thinkers of the,present day. For that is what education is—-the wrestling with certain questions which become-wider and more difficult to grapple with the farther one advances. ' That was in the days before the compulsory, lecture, when universities had not been affected by contact with the outside world, when there was that true demand of knowledge for its own sake which is fast being wiped away as new courses are being introduced into college which have as their aim the salary one will command after graduation. Dr. Leacock has spoken with the greatest truth when he said: “You put the money in the slot and out conies the degree." The modern professor—and by this v. e ciir.r acterize only a type which is more'and move ap parent from day to day—is a professor to push. From the moment that he enters the class and calls the roll to the moment that the bell rings he works en principles of Big Business. He is the executive ladling but sugar-coated pills. These lie has prepared in fixed doses. And the students, veritable i"u-‘>ls, absorb all. That searching af ter knowledge, that spirit of curiosity which was the essential of a good student and of a good pro lessor seems to be waning. Standardization and the industrialism of the outside world are making such inroads upon the university that unless a definite reaction sets in shortly the colleges will lace complete metamorphosis—they will become more than ever huge factories in which under graduates and undergraducttes will be turned out in large numbers to meet the requirements of the world, turned out with certain set facts at their linger tips but lacking that true thirst for and spirit of inquiry which is the very essence of a college education and without which no man can truly say he has earned his degree. Professor Push must give way to a professor who is able to stimulate the curiosity of his stu dents and encourage them to search for the means whereby that curiosity may be satiated. This is the starting point of all learning. Fortunately all our professors arc not of Ibis genre. The voice of protest is still loud and echoes from one end of the continent to the other. We may yet be saved from the calamity of the efficiency expert. “I’m told, Smithcr?, that the Cuheco fratern ity has rechristencd itself and taken a Greek name. Well, that’s all right, providing they know what it means. Cnheco always did remind one of Nabiscos and Kodaks. The old name was cab alistic, surely, bat it was also most une.aphonious. What do they call themselves now? SMITH MRS: “Beta Lambda Sigma, and only the Lord and the Kooheeks know why. “Of course, Smithers, that’s a fraternity se- I cret. But did it ever occur to you, Smithers, to i wonder what a lot of these mysterious names do stand for. anyhow? Where they came trom and why they were chosen?’’ • President Vice-President Treasurer Editor :n-Chief Assistant Editor Managing Editor Women’s Editor SMITHERS: “Why,-ah,-no, but I always took it for granted that they bad some dignified significance.’’ B. Kaplan '2B P. R. Smaltz ’2B W. Lord, .Ir., *23 .“Learn, Smithers, not to take too much for granted. Some of our so-called "Greek Letter societies on this campus might disillusion yon if you knew the origin of their names. For in stance, the “Bhrench-Spanish-Italian” honorary would make a student of the classics yawp with disgust at the misuse of the classjcal alphabet. And then there’s the fraternity that perpetuates, in Greek letters, ihe name of some of the most obnoxious of our vermin; and the one that Mildred A. Webb '2S Business Manager Advertising Manager Circulation Manager why Smithers, did you ever hear the old college hoarding house song? R. B. Kilborn u 2° W. .1. McLaughlin ’23 “The hoys used to sing it with much fervor, anti it sometimes brought the pie, hut nobody ever thought the sentiment sufficiently ennobling to found a ‘T’hraternily’’ on. But they've done it here, and the “land-lady’s-daughter’’ has her name perpetuated in Greek letters on a door-plate! “And there’s another funny thing. Smithers: our erudite college senate (tee-hec-e!) approves requests to adopt Greek names and lets the hoys get away with such stunts! Vraiment, e'est a riro dans la barbel “All of which, and I could tell you a lot more like this if I didn't have to hurry off to a recitation in a few minutes, leads one to conclude that, after all, the most unlearned do like to throw a learned appearing bluff, and imagine they are deceiving the public into mistaking them for high brows. “But what are the ex-Cuhecoes going to he called in campus lingo? Beta Lambda Sigma is too long, and there can he only one “Beta’’ gang among us, of course. Plain English B. L. S. wouldn’t he good and "Grecky.” Blah-Sigs? Beta Lambs? What? No, Smithers, emphatically. No! I'm ashamed, of you for suggesting such a thing. B. S. indeed! Beta Lambs,—sounds well.—So let it he. Beta Lambs! And Smithers, let us meet at the cornel' at twelve o’clock tonight and drink a foaming coke to Hie happiness of the Beta Lambs. May they never he stewed!” U. JI. Atkinson Smithers, I have a word to say about the conduct of the Eucknell student body at the game Saturday. I'm afraid, however, because what I might say would sound unsportsmanlike. SMITHERS: Aw, come on. Toll me what it’s all about. The Bullosopher’s Chair SESSION I. O-o-o you must lie a lover of the landlady’s daughter, Or you can’t get a second piece o’ pi-i-ie." SESSION 11. No, I’m exceeding reluctant. Anything I already have said IS used that way, so why make the condition more acute? SMITHERS: No. It’s not that, Bullosoph er. It’s the fact that truth always hurts. All right. What I have to say is this. I con gratulate Penn State’s students upon their digni fied conduct at the Bucknell game. The last Bucknell game which 1 witnessed was a brawl if over there was one. The students, I think, had to he frisked of brickbats and other throwable ar ticles before they gained admission to the stands. I went, to Saturday’s-game because ..Iwond.ered wliethcr'there.iwdiiki be’a reyiyal:'6f itiiis ispinit. There only with Hie Buckncilinns.".;,'!'., SMITHERS: Do.you mean that the visitors were'ready and willing to start a tight? No, I don’t mean that. But I think that Penn Stale has given over the title of “cow-college” to a. school that deserves it, if I am to judge from the type of .student that came here from I.ewis burg. They razzed the referee every time he penalized Bucknell; they cheered him when lie penalized Penn State; they started heated argu ments in the stands; in other words, they were NOT good sports. And the Bucknell team used their legs and shoes for everything but running. 1 hope this will have the same effect as the Har vard Lampoon’s editorial had upon relations with Princeton. Penn State lias lost the title of “cow college.” There is no use showing to us a horrible example of what we once were.
