PiHILLIPS TALKS
ON CHRIST--THE
GREA T MIRACLE
AT CHAPEL WEDNESDAY
Episcopal Minister Gives Ideas
od Life of Jesus-Life
and Character
Dr Henry Ph,iips, rector Pf the
Trinity Church address the student body
at the University Chapel at the regular
chapel exercises Wednesday morning at
10:30.
Dr. Phillips took as his central them
"Christ as the greatest Miracle of all
times." He said that there were many
things that were unfolding themselves
to students as they went thru the various
studies of college. Students have un
folded unto them vistas of new thought,
new tru.hs and revaluations of things
a;ready known. He announced that he
was to present the greatest of all facts,
the greatest of all miracles tested by
bioiogy, sociology, or economics, that
is the life of Jesus.
Men have doubted and criticised Christ
and have doubted some of the things
that have been ascribed to him. But
none have been enabled to eliminate of
diminiish the cower of his personality.
It has been examined, scrutinized, and
explained, but its power remains.
If some one had told you that a person
born in a cow shed, raised in a carpenter
shop, who taught only three years, who
raised no army, established no institu
tion, wrote no books treated as a traitor
by his countrymen, as a crazy man by
his townspeople, and finally crucified
would now be known in all the countries
of the world and his ideas of life taught
as a way of life, we would scarsely be
lieve it. But the fact of this miracle
remains.
Drt Phillips then went on to explain
Christ's life and character in terms of a
marvelous symmetry. He appealed- to
men and to women and we find that his
words are as applicable now as when he
spoke then. We find that he is the full
expression of the hearts desire of many
people. There is no barrier or rank.
He was born of a peasant woman but
w,s of royfl ;descent, The saeaker
closed with an appeal for the students
to follow this miracle of all ages as
their way of life.

CLAIMS LARGE
PROPORTION-OF
STUDENTS UNFIT
CRITICIZE ENTRANCE TEST
Miskea Plea for Limit Size of
Classes-Criticize Idea of
"Mass Education"
For the past two years numerous col
lege and university professors have criti
cized the "open-door' policies to entrance
requirements. Not a few magazine arti
cles have been written upon the subjec ,
ranging from the defenders of "mass
education" to the plea for limited student
bodies. Especially have the various pians
of Northern universities for limiting the
size of classes received publicity.
From Ohio State which is near the
imaginary border separating North and
South comes some critical comment by
the faculty. The professors take a gen
tle rap at the men who sit at their feet.
The comparisons with other schools are
interesting.
Two thirds of the students now at
Ohio State academy should be there,
several professors of the University say.
The other third not oniy is incapable of
doing the work but is a, burden on the
scholarship of the other s udents. These
same professors also agree the standards
are too low at Ohio State to permit any
real test of mental superiority. When a
professor does demand of his students
work equal to that done' by students in
highly standardized schools the number
of failures is startling.
"Standards are low," says Professor
Arthur C. Cole of the department of
English. "I would not wvant them p)lacedl
so high as to exclude students who did
not get started right in high school. It
would be best to take the highest t wo
thirds or three-quarters of high school
graduates with the right given to the
o hers to take entrance examinations."
Professor Cole also says he thinks the
chief trotuble with the college students
of today is that they are not alert to the
question of the hour. They seem to
think they are being dIriven to make
grades and it is in that line only they
show any interest.
Professor J. A. Brownocker of the
department of geology declares that not
only are a great many students at Ohio
Sta e unable to do good wvork, hut also
there are many who do not care to do
the work. These should be eliminated.
"Students should not be accepted tun
questionably from high schools," says
professor H. Gordon Hayes of the .Ie
nartment of economics. "A more care
ful selec ion should be made in order
that the state's money be spent more
wisely."
Dr. Leighton of the philosophy de
partment, who taught at Stanford Uni
versi y last summer, says out of a group
of 50 students the average was 20 per
cent. better than that from the same
number at Ohio State. He had no faii
tures and few D's. He says it is no' true
democracy to waste the state's money and
the professor's salaried time teaching
