Minds of College Trained Men Back of Corruption In American Cities

By Rabbi STEPHEN S. WISE of New York

IN the forces of corrupt government there have been found within the last generation almost as many recruits from the colleges as ranged themselves under the banned of good government. The of too many COLLEGE TRAINED MEN HAVE BEEN BACK ’OF THE CORRUPTION that has disgraced the life of American municipalities. 1 .. * ■ «t SOME OF THE MOST CORRUPT AND CROOKED POLITICAL BOSSES OF AMERICA HAVE BEEN SERVED AND PERPETUATED IN POWER THROUGH THEIR ALLIANCE WITH POLITICALLY PLIABLE AND MORALLY FLEXIBLE COLLEGE MEN, WHO HAVE DEVOTED THEIR POWERS, SUCH AS THEY ARE, TO THINGS THAT ARE EVIL AND UNHOLY. K ft > The college men of America ought to leave a DEEP IMPRESS UPON THE SOCIAL LIFE OF THE NATION so that what they think today shall be prophetic of that which is to deepen down into the life and aspirations of the common people on the morrow.
