AY, OCTOBF 27, 1927 THE MICHIGAN DAILY' . _.._ . .._ PAGIA 'r STATES THAT C4)NVERSI(0N OP STUDENT SIGN1FIE EiXPANSION STRIKES AT INACTIVITY Writer Says That English Universities Are Less Affected By Outside Oldunlon NEW YORK, Oct 26.-"If you can- not liberalize the student there is no hope for America," declared Bertrand Russell, British philosopher and edu- cator, who is now making an Ameri- can tour, when interviewed here re- cently. Russell intimated that this was a challenge to the colleges in par- I ticular, and he placed the growth of American liberalism in the light of the world's one great hope for pace. "Liberals in the United States need to realize," he continued, "that Ameri- ca dominates the world. To liberalize the United States is to libearlize the world. Liberals elsewhere feel this keenly and it explains- their intense interest in the late Sacco-Vanzetti case. "There is too much tendency in this country for liberals to thrive and grow fat sitting around and talking, It is, not good for a man of 20 to think alli of the world's 'problems are solved. That is all right at 70 when the brain is decaying. The liberals have gone on too long with shibboleths. It is time for them to find out what part of their program may e applied to solutions ofg te world's problems. American liberals are too unrealistic and too unwilling to face facts. Peace, not pacifism is the hope of the world, and I mean peace by force. This idea is expressed in the covenant of the League of Nations. While the covenant is not ideal the doctrine is all right." Considers Universities Concerning the dominating ideas in American universities, the writer stat- ed that in private institutions it was the wishes of those who gave endow- ments that were consulted, in state universities, the wishes of the clergy- He said that in England the colleges were more self-governing, were so old; that they no longer needed to be re- sponsive to public opinion. Russell has been barred from several English universities because of his publica- tions regar(Ang them. Russian education does not find a supporter in the Englishman. He ex- pressed a dislike to it because of its teniency toward orthodoxy, saying that it was incredibly dogmatic despite the late upheavals, and that every- thing had the air of communism. The strong Russian bent toward practical training was especially mentioned. "It is analogous to the growth of vo- cational training in American col- leges, and like America, there is too much emphasis on work. Leisure Inortant "It is the leisure time that is im- portant. Work serves no purpose. Americans do not work to eat; they eat to work." To the suggestion that Russian vo- cational training is to be preferred to American because the former is com- bined with a social outlook, Russell replied that the narrow Communism which Is taught by the Russians was somewhat equivalent to the patriotism taught in American schools. "There is' a tendency for culture to become dead," he concluded. "It. becomes a study of the part and the tradition, and is then worse than vo- cational training. There is need for the Enter-working of the cultural and the vocational since credit and cur- rency are the key to half of the poli- tical problems of our time."

Opportunities for con- tinuing their education in Washington without interference with their work are unexcelled.
