To the live citizen in the actual swirl of life, nothing is more amusing than the doleful, pessimistic lucubrations of college professors and presidents who sit in their easy chairs in shaded scholastic bowers and know about as niuch as a kitten of the real, throbbing world about them. A college president knows perhaps how to discipline giddy young men, though he is not always successful in that, and a college professor knows about Greek roots and Euclid. But when they corne up smiling every summer and teil us regularly that the world is going to the dogs, we beg to subrnit respectfully that they don't know anything about it. Students under them catch their cue, and orate in the same dismal tones. Now, we are not going to ruin. There are statesmen also in these days. And there are as many honest, unselflsh, kindly people as there ever were.
