Let college men stand together in public affairs, and they will wield an influence which no other group of men can with- stand. For college men know how to do this, and to do it for the sake of an ideal, not for money or for notoriety. It has been well said of President Roose- velt, a typical college man in public life, " Money can never defeat a man who is not working for money." Again, the training of the colleges em- phasizes the individuality of a man. It takes his best abilities and raises... them to the third or tenth power, as we say in algebra. It is true that our colleges have tried and many of them still try to sup- press individuality, to cast all students in the same mold. To do something of the kind, to make each student a typical gentleman or a typical clergyman, was for centuries the ideal of more than one of the English colleges from which the American college took its early form. Musty old men in the dust of libraries, "who knew no use for the hands save to hold an old book in them,* ' have tried to make young men like themselves.
