Considers Present Club Life Demoral izing, Unwholesome—Views of Prince ton Alumni. President Woodrow Wilson of Prince ton university, who recently told of his plan ioi - the social reorganization of ! the university, declares that at present j cliques and factious dominate the uni- | versity. lie will abolish the clubs and * these combinations and have an equal j number of students from each class- j room in what* he calls u quad. His suggestions have been adopted by the board of trustees and will soon la* put in operation, says a # Princeton (N. J.i dispatch to the New York Times. Mr. Wilson says in part: •Tnder our present social organiza tion there is a constant, even an in i creasing disconnection between the life | and the work of the university. l<ie ^ soeial activities of the place not only j have no necessai’y connection with any I of it> serious tasks, but are besides exceedingly <oni|i4i-x and absorbing i and. in fact, absorb the energies of the ! most active undergraduates in purely unacademic things. "It has become common for sopho- i mores as the end of the academic year approaches to ask the advice of their instructors (now that there Is some intimacy of counsel between tliemi as j to which career they shall choose for i the remainder of their course, the stu i dious or the social. ‘•'I'he last two years have seen influ pnees of this kind increase in strength at an extraordinary rate and gain a momentum which makes this the im ! Iterative time of action. It is clearly | evident to any one who lives in Prince- j ton and intimately touches the life of \ tla* place that these influences are split 1 ting classes Into factions and endan gering that class spirit upon which we depend for our self government and j for the transmission of most of the ! loyal impulses of the university. “The ‘politics’ of candidacy for mem bership In the upper class clubs not ; only produces a constant and very do j moralizing distraction from university ! duties In freshmen and sophomore ea- | peers, but enforces all sorts of ques- 1 tionablc customs. "(Iroup rivalries break the solidarity of the classes. The younger classes are ! at no point made conscious of the in j terests of tin* university. Their whole thought is concentrated upon Individ ual ambitions, upon means of prefer- ; enee, upon combinations to obtain self ish individual ends, and the welfare of the university as against any partieu lar bad custom which will serve that purpose is ignored, labor as the upper class men may to point It out and en force it. “Not only do men in all classes feel that ton great absorption in study will Involve virtual disqualification for so dal preferment: they also feel that the chief objects of their happiness and their ambition are connected with their social aflil ' ons. not with the general Interest of the university. “If for nothing else than to keep the classes undivided in spirit, the new quad divisions would be preferable to the present club divisions.” ITcddent Wilson tells of Ids plan to avoid these things. “Ft is our purpose,” be says, “to draw the undergraduates together into re.-! deutlal quads, in which they shall cat as well as lodge together, and in which they shall, under the presidency of a 1‘esideut member of the faculty, regu late their corporate life by some sim pie method of self government. For this purpose it would be necessary to place all future dormitories in such re latioti tc those already erected as : form do - r geographical units, live:-, undergraduate would be required uc tually to live in bis quad that is. to take bis meals there as well as to lodge there. The residents of cadi quad would be made up as nearly a- might be of equal numbers of seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen. “The object of this arrangement would be to put unmarried niemlK of the faculty In residence In the quad la order to bring them Into close, ha bitual, natural association with the tin dorgradnates, and so Intimately tie lie- intellectual and social life of the place Into one another; to associate the four classes in a genuinely organic man ner and make of the university a real social body, to the exclusion of oliqite- and separate class social organization- : to give to the university the kind of common consciousness which appar ently comes from the closest sort of social contact to be had only mjtside the classroom, and most easily to be got about a common table and In the contacts of a common life. “I cannot imagine a service to the university which would bring more dis Unction, more eclat, throughout the en tire university world, or which would give to our present clubs a position of greater Interest and importance In the history of academic life in America.” Among i’rlneeton men In New York the announcement made by Dr Wood row Wilson, president of tin* unlvei'sl ty, that, with the aid of the trustees, j he intended to abolish tin* college elubb formed the liveliest topic that has been :mder discussion since the preceptorial system was launched, says the -New York Herald Dr. Wilson's plan was debated vi; j oi*ousl.\ as to Its wisdom, but through <>tit tin* di ci’-;-iou there was a ten: (•crate note ll I*- not at all likely nn\ organized opp »sition to tin* alumni will develop. At tin* Princeton club the cluing* was much uiseu.ssed. W Phillips, treasurer of the president of tin* board of trustees of the Cap and down ciuh at Princeton, which will he abolished by the itiaugu ration of tin* new plan, said: “This change will be revolutionary, and. because It smashes traditions, if for no other reason. It has been and will Is* adversely received by many. We remember, however, that when Dr. Wilson Installed the preceptorial sys tern—an Americanization of the Oxford idea the adverse criticism was strong, and yet, revolutionary as that plan was in this country, It Is now ac- knowledged to he a signal success. Tin* president’s farsightedness and wisdom in that lnstan<*e will go far toward bringing him support from the alumni laxly in his present plans. “At Princeton there are thirteen clubs, with memberships of thirty up per class men each. The Greek letter fraternities were abolished in 1873 and the club plan inaugurated In 1879. when the Ivy club was started. Of the 7.imto alumni I do not believe more than one-fifth belong to clubs. “I have no doubt Dr Wilson has seen signs of the division of classes Into cliques through the existence of so many clubs, and this division he prop erly seeks to prevent. Democracy has prevailed at Princeton, so Princeton men think, to a greater extent than at the other large eastern Institutions, and this democratic feeling should be fostered. Its perpetuation unquestion ably Is what the president Is striving for. “Of course the proposed change will be radical. Breaking up present club groups and creating quads of 100 will cause a good many shocks to sentiment and memory. With the membership of the clubs the faculty had nothing to do; with the membership of the quads It will have everything to do. “Among the alumni there will be a good deal of protest. Officially the alumni body can do nothing if the col lege authorities decide to su> ahead, but It can exert influence. My opinion, however, Is that after sober second thought the alumni will stand behind Dr Wilson and the trustees virtually to a man. They are for Princeton first. Dr. Wilson second and themselves aft erward.” William Kdwards, deputy commis sioner of street cleaning for Manhat tan and former Princeton football star, had this to say: “The clubs have brought this on themselves, at least In part. Tlx* t»*or hie lies In their nnmlier. As they In creased they took up more and mor«* of the men’s time. The alumni, how ever, do not favor total abolition of tlx clubs, for that means the disrupting of our traditions. “Tf the honor system and tlx* system of faculty supervision as at present i.i force were held to, It would lie all right.” CATAUUH bloo1> X-Z/-V J.
