a ge The 1931 i -' 55 c c 4 QI Q qiawenocb The Dcaumis Message I have just finished reading Charles Mills Gayley's Idols of Our Education, in which he points out some of the fallacies in our current systems of education. Mr. Gayley's educational experience has taught him that the idols of Quick Results and Incidental Issues are among the most common and irrelevant of all of our educational idols, The idol of Quick Results, he continues, causes too many of us to accept the fallacy of utili- tarian purpose, to agree that a profession must be chosen prematurely and immaturely entered. And the idol of Incidental Issues drives thousands of our young people into the fallacy that the gauge of studentship is popularity, that popularity during academic years is to he won by hasty achievement, the babbling strenuous life, and hy allegiance to a perverted image of the Alma Maier. My message to the young men and women of our campus is that the world of learning was never better worth preparing for. And in your preparation, I urge that you beware of the idols of Quick Results and Incidental Issues and make your training for usefulness in a busy world thorough and unmistakable. Learn to speak as the common people speak, but think as wise men think. C. R. BROWN, Dum of lim College 20 fa R597
