THOUSANDS OP MEN IN
COLLEGES HAVE NO
PLACE THE HE
New York: Thousands of men
in the colleges have no place there
in the opinion of Dean Chiistian
Gauss of Princeton university. H“
gave his views to the New York
Evening Post
“The college problem is a
phase of the problem of the whole
country,” lie said. “If it is acute
in the colleges it is because of the
emphasis-the over emphasis—on
the college today.
‘“There are thousands of
men in the colleges who have no
place there, and many of them
know it. But they are there, he
said, “because of the belief ol 1
their parents that it is a social!
necessity.”
Novels of the so-called soph |
isticated type and modern Broad
way plays which college students
read, are full of the modern un
rest.” Dean Gauss says.
1 read tin m myself,” he
says, “but I’m case hardened.They
can’t hurt me. But to a man sud
denly released from prep school,
where everything is done for him
into the comparative freedom of i
coliege life, such books are bound
lo be unbalanced. They are full of
modeni unrest. That’s the thing
that has caused college suicides.
’The talk about over work
is incorrecc. College men aren’t
killed by hard work. A man who j
comes to college becaus lie wants |
to be. *ny a chemist, will work
night and day to be one, and never
feel the strain. It’s tin* men who|
have no right in college, who per
haps are pushed into college by
their parents and ate snatched up!
in the present day unrest, who
kill themselves.”
