C03IFLETED THE COURSE. Ir, Jordan's Addrea on the Relations of the State to Edncatlon. The nineteenth annual commencement exercises of the Medical College of Indiana Tvere held last night at the Grand Operahouse, the lower lloor of which was comfortably tilled with the friends and acquaintances of the graduates. Alter the invocation, pronouncod by Ilev. Dr. Horace A. Cleveland, of Meridian-street M. E. Chnrch, Judge Byron K. Klliott delivered an address to the class choosing for his subject the duties of tho young physician to himself and to his profession. He offered soiae practical suggestions in the the way of advice, to the effect that the duty of the young doctor to-day is to acquire the power to know and to act. Theory js well enough in its proper place, but the practical exercise of good judgment, coupled "with a kind heart, is the best remedy at a eick bed. The regular physician, he claimed, recognizes no set school of medicine, for he is only a scientific student whose sole calling is to minister to the "wants of mankind4. Indeed, there is no ERch institution as a set school. The physician never should keep a secret from iis fellow-physician orfrom the public, but should strive to be of some actual benefit to all and at every opportunity. Dr. I), b. Jordan, president of the State University, then delivered an address on Education and the State." Ho began by reviewing the purposes that moved the founders of the government in bringing into ldi ssoluble relation education and t he state. Ubon that rested the perpetuity of the KeTmblie. This was in regard to commonschool instruction, but. that supplied, does the work In America xonndint? Tmblic iunda came as a matter of course. The State University, maintained by direct taxation, has been a prominent factor in the organization of each State of the Union outside the original thirteen, and most of the latter are no exception to the rule. And. with varying fortunes, the growth of each one of these schools has kept pace with the growth of the commonwealth of which it lornis a part. Seventy years ago, when ignorance and selfishness held less sway in our Legislatures than to-day, because the influence of a few men of ideas was proportionately greater, tho Constitution of the infant State of Indiana provided, whereas: 'Kuowledge and learning, generally dilluscd through a community, oeing essential to the preservation of a free government, and spreading the opportunities and advantages of education through the various parts of the country being highly conducive to tnis end, it shall be the duty' of the General Assembly to 'pass sucnlaws as shall be calculated to encourage intellectual, scientific and agricultural improvement by allowing rewards and immunities for tho promotion and improvement of arts, sciences, commerce, manufactures and natural history and to countenance and encourage the principles of humanity, industry and morality.' To these ends the General Assembly was required to provide by law for a general system of education, ascending in a regular gradation from township schools to a State university wherein tuition shall be grati3 and equally freo to all. And all this was guarded by a further provision "for absolute freedom of worship, and that no religious test should ever be required as a qualification to any oflice of trust or profit" in tho State of Indiana. The common school is the hope of our country. In like manner the high-school and college are the hope of tho common Bchool, and tne university the hope of the college. Each part of the system depends on the next higher for its standards and for its inspirations; from those educated in higher schools the teachers in the lower must come- Lop off the upper branches of the tree and the sap ceases to rise in its trunk. Cut off the higher schools from the educational system and its growth and progress etops, "In the early days when, as "Whittier tells ns, the people 6ent their wisest men to make he public laws,' the closo relations of hi gl.er education to the public welfare waa recognized by alL The direct connection of college and people was one of constant mutual advantage. It intensified the public interest in hisher education, while it constrained the college to shape its work for the people's good. The high esteem ac corded to the colleges led wealthy men to A 1 A A A I L? I A. stive tnem their attention. So it became with time the fashion to leave money by bequest to the colleges, in the older estates such money was usually given to the schools already established, and through repeated bequests 6ome of these became comparatively wealthy and independent of State aid. In the West and South this generosity has snown itself rather in the founding of new institutions, instead of making the old ones strong. As tho little towns of the forest and prairie grew into great cities, so it was supposed that through some hidden force of vitality, the little colleges would grow into reat universities. This process of planting without watering has gone on until the whole couutry is dotted with schools called Ly tho name of college or university, on an average more than a dozen to each State. Some of these are well endowed, more ill endowed, and most not endowed at all. But rich or poor, weak or strong, each one serves in some way to perpetuate its founder's ideas, and to preserve his name from oblivion. But the college founded by rich men, and obliged to depend on the gifts of rich men for its continuance is often forced into degrading positions on account of favors expected or received. The officers of more than one of our colleges dare scarcely claim their souls as their own for fear of offending some wealthy patron. This growing dependence on the large gifts of a few men tends to carry our college further and further from the people. A school supported wholly by the interest on endowments has little care for public opinion, and hence lias little incentive to use its intlnenco toward right opinions. Sooner or later it ceases to respond to the spirit of the times. It becomes the headqnnrters of conservatism, and within its walls ancient methods and absolute modes of thought are perpetuated. Such colleges need what Lincoln called 'a bath of the people;' a contact with that humanity for whose improvement the college exists and which it should "bo tho mission of the college to elevate and inspire. "The value of the nniversity, then, is not in proportion to its bigness, but to its inspiration. The Good Spirit cares not lor tho size of its buildings or the length of the list of its professors and students. It asks ouly, in the words of the old reformer llulteu if 'die Lnft der Freiheit weh!' I appreciate most fully tho value to education from the well-directed gifts of tho great patrons of learning. The wealth of Johns Hopkins has given us a university not unlike the German pattern, a school which has had the gre atest influence for the good among the multitude of colleges above which it towers. Tho wealth of Ezra Cornell added to the educational luud of tho State of Now York, has given ns a school which unites the power of Eastern wealth and Western enterprise. Many others couhl bo named, wealthy men, who have een where money was most needed, and who have supplied that need, lint ach oue of these schools to-da is looking for its development not to the people, but to some other rich man who shall furnish it with the mean for material progress. 'The natural development of our educational fabric has been interfered with by the wysteui of uifts and endowments. Tho princely magnificence of millionaires, has discouraged the- growing communities from trying to uork out for themselves their edncational problems. The rich men become the world which the college tries to satisfy, and tmctes iu college management is measured by cah receipts and not by influence on the community. The State is no oeggar, to feed ou the crumbs which fall from the rich man's table, Tho provision tor higher edncation is part of the dutv of the State or eKe it is not. If it in a public duty, the public can meet it without depending on the help of millionaires. That nch men will do any public work by wa of benevolence or of perennial advertivment does not releaso us txoia our duty in tho luatter. Tho

of the state, ho asked, stop theref

" the Doctor continued, 'tho

of the nrst colleges on a basis or

Seople have safety only in independence, ine of our gTeat religions bodies stands ready to relievo the State of all responsibility for education, higher or lower, if it may be allowed to cdncato in its own way. lint the people are uot willing that this should be so. They believe that tho public school should bo free from all sectarian influences of whatever sort. The other religious bodies in our midst for tho most part disclaim all desire as well as power to provide for lower education, preferring to spend their strength on the higher. I shall have little to Buy on the subject of denominational colleges, and nothing by way of criticism. If they do not stand in the way of schools of broader purpose and better equipment, they can do no harm. If, again, like Yale and Harvard, they become transformed into schools of the broadest purpose, they eease to be denominational, but become, in fact, schools of the State. It is certainly fair to say this of all tho denominational colleges of America, Tho higher education of youth, pure and simple, cannet be their chief object. Such schools are founded primarily to promote tho growth and preservation of certain religious organizations. This is a worthy object as all must admit, but this purpose Ave recognize as something other than simply education. To do tho Stato's work, tho denominational school must cease to do its own, for no organization can be allowed to color the w ater in the fountains of popular education. Our bill of rights, tho State Constitution, recognizes the eoualitv of all men, whatever theirreligious oelief or preferences. This could not be the fact if tho scheme for higher education included sectariau colleges only, and all schools are sectariau in which tho ruling bodv belongs by necessity to some particular religious denomination. "The most unfortunate feature of higher education in America lies in tho universal scattering of its educational resources: for this local pride and denominational zeal are about equally responsible. Let ns take an example. It was not in response to tho educational ueeds of Kansas that four universities were founded in a single year in one of its real estate towns: institutions without money and without credit, whose existence can bo only one long wail for help from tho rich men or rich denominations under whose patronage they are. We have not reached the end of this. The number of our colieges has doubled within tho last thirty years, and the increase in number still goes on, far outrunning the rate of improvement in quality. It is sometimes proposed to treat all higher education simply as a matter of business. Let the colleges go into tho market and be ruled by the laws of supplj' aud demand. This will bring them directly beforo tho people. Let us look at this for a moment. The college professor deals in mental wares as the shop-keeper deals in material commodities. Let him fill his store with a stock which the people will buy and advertiso what he has as the shop-keeper does. Ou this basis he will not carry a dead stock Ion it. t There is no room for m conservatism in commerce. This is a commercial ago, and professors should govern themselves accordingly. This could havo no result except to cheapen and vulgarize tho college. The highest need is not tho need of the many, still less is it the multitude's demand. Vulgarity is defined as the condition of satisfaction with inferior things. A college dependent each day on the day's receipts must pander to vulgarity. And vulgarity too is said to be the besetting sin of democracy. If democracy leads to vulgarity it defeats its own ends. The justification of Eopular sutirago is to make'tho multitudes etter, not to bring tho better to the level of the multitudes. Any form of educational charity, private gifts, public spirit, denominational zeal, anything leads to better results than this, for the essence of education is something that can not bo bought and sold. It is the inspiration of character which cannot be rated in our stock exchanges. Uut it is said sometimes that tho State cannot properly manage its own institutions, ignorance and venality are often dominanant iu public affairs, and it is claimed that work undertaken in the name of the people is sure to be marred by ignorance affected by partisanship or taiuted by jobbery. In the e vil days which havo befallen the politics of Virginia, when the fair name of tho State has been traded upon by spoilsmen of of every degree, the one thing in the State which has never been touched is the honor of tho University of Virginia. And amid all the scandals and disorder which have followed our civil war, w hat linger of evil has been laid on the Smithsonian Institution or the Military Academy of West Point! In that which is intended for no

venal end tho people will tolerate no venal domination, fn due time tho management of every public institution will be abreast of the highest popular opinion. Sooner or later the wise man leads, for his ability to lead is at once test aud proof of his wisdom. - "Shall the people provide for technical or professional training as well as for general education! My answer is, yes; for no other agency will do as well as the State the work that should be done. t Already the general government has recognized tho need of industrial training and has made liberal provision for it. That the proper training of teachers is a matter of real economy has been recognized by every State in the Union, aud this fact has led to the establishment of the Mate normal schools. We recognize that thorough professional trainiug is tho best antidote to educational quackery and fraud. It is cheaper for the people to pay for the education of the teachers, and then pay tho teachers an increased salary because they are educated, than it is to depend on tho hap-hazard training furnished by tho law of supply and demand. There was a time when to be fit for nothing else was the chief requisite for the Hoosier schoolmaster. But experience has shown that such teaching is costliest of all. It is often said in ludiana, and this statement is applauded by onr fanners and mechanics, tho very men who should know better, that tho State should not support schools for the making of physicians and lawyers. The people should not be taxed to help young men into those easy professions already soovercrowded. But supposewe change the proposition. Shall the Stato demand that the lawyers, doctors, surveyors and architects which serve its people should know their business Why notf Haven't we had enough of tho work of frauds and fools? The money wasted every year in Indiana on quacks, would educato every physician in the State who has the brains to bear education. Bring iii better men. Thero is no way of thinning out incompetent men in any profession so effective as to bring trained men in competition with them. If the State could require each physician or lawyer to know what a physician or lawyer ought to know, quacks ana pettifoggers would disappear as surely as an army of tramps beforo a stone pile. Indiana is now their paradise. These professions are overcrowded in Indiana simply because they are no professions at all. It requires no more training- to bo admitted to the bar in our State than to be admitted to tho sawbuck. In medicine tho case is not much better, for though a diploma costs something of time and money a smart man can doctor without it. I do not mean to depreciate in any way the work of the really great among Indiana physicians or lawyers. The faculty roll of my alma mater contains many names of men who, as physicians and teachers, havo won the respect of all who know their life and their work. The names of many wise and learned men come to our minds when wo call over tho roll of Indiana's physicians. Wo are glad to do honor to a long roll of names ot men thorough and distinguished in medicine and surgery. We are not less glad to recognize that the present and the rising generation of Indiana's physicians contain many a man in every way worthy to be their successors. Of our best we havo the right to be proud. It is only when we regard the amount of ignorant, empirical and dishonest work called professional that our heart sinks within us, and wo doubt whether our American system of medical laissez faire can be a wise svstem. A medical student killed himself in New York the other day, ami lefr behind him these words: I die because thero is room for no more doctors!' Overcrowed, poor fellow, smothered by the mass of his fellowincompeteuts; dead because there is room for no more doctors, and all this while tho science of medicine stands on the verge of the greatest discoveries since tho times of Galen and Esculapius. 'Koom for no moro doctors,' when it is the very best time in the history of the world to be a doctor! When the theory of evolution begins to throw its electric light down thousands of avenues which were closed to tho lathers of medicine! The fittest pl-siciau may survive; but meanwhile the patient is dead and the quack has taken the fees. 'Only by the requirement of training can our professions bo restored to their ancieut respectability. Their work must rest on a basis of science. The scientific physician does not prostitute his skill in auy of tho hundred ways condemned by the code of ethics; a true man cannot be used for base purposes- Ncblease oblige, and professional training implies professional honor. Only

the highest standards can purge tho profession of parasites and quacks. Only honest knowledge can save us from the Christian scientist and tho almanac. But in every demand the people makethe Stato must furnish tho means for satisfaction. My conclusion may be summed up in a fewwords. Whatever schools the State may need, the State must ereato and control. If tho Stato fails to furnish tho means of higher education, theso means will never be adequately furnished. The peoplo must combine to do this work, for in the long run, no other agency can do it. Moreover, any other means of support, sooner or later, forms the entering wedge between the schools and the people. The first Constitution of Indiana contained the embodiment of educational wisdom when it provided for a general system of education, ascending in regular gradation from the township schools to the Stato University, free and equally open to all, and equally open to all forms of religious belief. The State of Michigan did wisely when it ndded to this the provision for fioeeial training in nil lines nf tfnrmirn1 ind

professional work iu which the skill or the wisdom of the individual tends toward tho advantage of tho community or the State." The degrees wero conferred by Dr. Geo. L. Curtis, of DePanw University, who. as dean of the faculty of tho medical college, presided over tho evening's exercises in the absence of Dr. T. B. Harvey. His remarks to tho class wero well timed, and, though brief, were indicative of his deeply-felt interest in the institution and tho young men it graduates. Prof. Edward F. Hodges awarded the Mears gold-medal prize to Thomas A. Berwick, of Donaldson ville. La., who was successful in a competitive essay contest in the study of obstetrics. Honorable mention was made of the production of Charles F. Zimmerman, of Terre Haute, whose essay ranked second in merit. Prof. Frank A. Morrison awarded tho Taylor anatomical prize, a set of instalments, to Joseph W. Patterson, of Fainnonnt, Ind., and Dr. Evan Hadoy, iu a few fitting words, presented the Harvey Society certificates, a society organized during'tho current year. Throughout tho evening the exercises were interspersed with orchestral, ininstrumental and vocal music. Miss Anna Wilcox rendered a piano solo, aud Mrs. Henry Jameson a vocal selection entitled, 4,My Lady's Bower." which was unusually expressive and well received. Mrs. Jameson has upon two other occasions assisted at the commencement exercises of the college, and then, as well as last evening, has she been enthusiastically received. After a vocal duet by Miss Ida Sweeney and F. M. Hermstreet, the beuediction was pronounced by Lieutenant-governor Ira J. Chase. The following are the names of the graduates, twenty-seven in number: C. II. Applegate, Charles Berrell, Kobley S. Blount, Andrew N. Daughters, James B. Elbert (colored), Joseph 11.

Dr. G. C. Smythe, of Greencastle, president of the board of trustees, delivered tho address conferring the degrees. Tho address was filled with wholesome advice to young practitioners. He said the duty of a physician should be discharged perfectly to all clients and as well to literature and the arts. He held it important to take good medical journals and read tjjem thoroughl'. They sustaiu the same relation to tho doctor as the trade jonrnrils to tradesmen, and the daily naptr to the people. It is the sourco to get tho information, and one canr.ot otherwise reach the proper standard in the profession. He charged them to attend medical societies, participate in discussions and to always interest themselves in work of that character, as it is a gateway to progress. lie impressed upon them that the. demands made upon doctors should be cheerfully fulfilled, aud that they should do iiothiug to lower tho tone of the profession.
