IO atm Qlnruellian jrrrnuab wbtpplf judas f NJ4.-f .fer I-IE modern University has produced a new E, 9 type of teacher. The old-time American col- f f' fi - lege, with its life sheltered from contact with F '- the world of action, nurtured many noble W2 characters, but it was a prison to most X X N students with virile and practical tempera- l I '32 Kg ' J rf!

The combination of scientific ardor -14 with a capacity for practical affairs has long A, been possible in professors of the political sciences in German Universities, only of late in America has the academic career been made congenial to men of that stamp. A generation ago, at the very period of Cornell's founda- tion, the universities began to reflect all phases of the worthy thought and aspiration of the living world. The talents and common-sense that we love to think of as peculiarly American, are no longer repelled from the halls of philosophy. The new type of scholar and teacher, in turn, is transforming American higher education. This, in brief, is the logic of the presence in University life today of Jeremiah Whipple Jenks.

The pursuit of business, the study of law, followed by admission to the Michigan bar, and teaching in a small college, occupied him for a few years, but another work more and more was attracting him. After two years of resident study in Germany, he obtained, in 1885, the degree of Doc- tor of Philosophy in political sciences at the University of Halle. 4 1LHe had to await an opening in his chosen work. Some years of teaching in subjects not closely related to his special interests, pre- ceded the development at Knox College of a field for his social studies. Between 1889 and 1891, at Indiana University, his name as a teacher of economics and politics was made, and at the end of that period he had to choose among several calls to larger universities. 1LThe then newly established chair of Political and Social Institu- tions in Cornell University gave him the opportunity to develop more fully the ideal of study and teaching that had inspired him for years. In his own words: Students of economics must be made to feel and
