Dr. Brimm Has
Taught Many

BeHeves Educated M|ui ;i Should

SomethinsT and Something
About Eyerything.**
(Prom The Blue Stockin*)
Oil Friday night your reporter
climbed the stairs to the study of Dr.
D. J. Brimm, proIeaaoT of Bible at
Presbyterian college arid, found hiin|
sitting in the midst of a room sur-j
rounded by stacks of books that^
ranged in size from the smallest Sun
day school pamphlet to volumes-as
large * as Webeter’s biggest edition.
The doctor was studying, but he con
sented to be questioned as he laid his
Bible lUdde and indicatedli chair for
us near the fire. ^
“Tell me something about the i
courses in the'rollege that you helped
to introduce and ~ -whkdi you tetve
taught from time to time,” we asked
him first. #
“Well,’* he began, “when I first
taught in the coHege there was not
as much ‘specializing’ as is the ten
dency today, and everybody tried to
get as well-rounded an education as
possible in his four years. Neverthe
less. there were st^ents who were
preparing to study medicine and who, i
cd course, needed Viology, which ati
that time was not offered. I intro-1
duced that“couree and taught it forj
a time.”
Then, in the years that followed, he
introduced courses in education and
philosophy, and taught at vario\^
times, besides those two, courses in
Greek, physics, I^atin and, during the
World war, he taught matliematics'in
the absence of the late Professor
Martm.'' “^1 •
“Then,” he tdd us, “revising the
growing need of and interest ifiTead-
ing and oratory, I taught classes in
that for a while.^*
—— We- asked him what he considered
an educated man should know, and
we found that he agreed with the
theory-that “an educated man should
know everything about something,
and something about every
When we asked him to explain l»w
a student could best practice this
.theory in'his effort to become edu»-
oated, he replied:
“First of all, there ahould be offefred
in the student^ first year at college
a course in ^neral science, which
would include a brief survey of all|,
the sciences, so that in this manner
the student would have a chance to
find out just which course most ap-
pt*aled to him and in which course he
was best equipped mentally to fodlow.
From time to time, as the class took
up the various sciences, the profeseor
of that science could give one lecture
" on that particular science.” Continu
ing this thought. Eh*. Brimm added
that i^ order for a man to acquire a
general education, it should be poe-
aible for him to pursue enough stud-
*j€S that would give him a better
knowledge, or rather^ more complete
knowledge of^those courses now taken
as ‘minor’ m that it would be pos
sible for him to be entitled to a de
gree in both the arts aiW" the sciences.
The last thing we discussed was
. the ambitions of a student. We asked
him the question,, “Ho\^ may a stu
dent be certain that he is best fit
ted for the lifp work that he ha«
chosen?” He replied, “The greatest
test of this, I believe, lies in act\»Uy
going to work now, in those tj^ings
that most cloaely pertain to that type
of work he has chosen, and the most
' important part of this test is the ‘ac
tually going to work now,' for being
engrossed in continuous hard work,
the decisions wUl make themselves."
