report President Butler, afteg discussing the whole question of academie discipline, as brought to public notice by the cases of those students who were ndicted and conveted of offenses against the United States Government, concludes that one of the few points upon which practically all writers on education agree is that a chief aim, if not the chief aim, of the educational progress is good character.President Butler therefore finds that it is quite idle to suppose that 8 university may overlook a student's character, wherever or however manifested, to confer upon him its honors and rewards simply because he has complied with certain formal rules as to academic residence, fulfilled certain prescribed intellectual tests, and paid certain designated fees Such a view he thinks, would convert the university into a factory and make its degrees and rewards merely a matter of manufacture, bargain, and ale, and not a matter of education at ait.President Butler says further that academic freedom is the freedom to say what you think without thinking what you say.and he asserts that there is no real reason to fear that heen in the slightest danger America, What is constantly in danger, he points cut, is a just sense of academic opligation.\u201cWhen a teacher accept: an Invitation to become 4 member of an academie society.\u201d wrkes President Butler, \u201che \u2018thereupon loses some of the freedom that he formerly possessed He has voluntarily accepted the - restrictions put upon him hy the tra- pases of the institution with which he | has become associated.Try as he may, he can no longer write or speak in his own name alone.What he says or writes gains significance and a hearing because of the prestige of the academic y to which he belongs To that prestige, with all that that owes 3 distingt, a constare and a compelling obligation.To maintain wue's tonneetion with an academic society whilp at war with its purposes or disloyal to ita traditions or oryaniza- tion is neither wise nor just.No one is compelled to remain in an academic association which he dislikes | or which makes him uncomfortable.Academic obligation is reciprocal.The academic society owes him en- couragentent compansation as gemer- nus as its resources will aford, and! protection from unfair attack and criticism, as well as from all unavoidable hamperings and embarrassments in the prosecution of his intellectual work.\u201d The very few men of letters and academic teichers who inake trouble for themselves and their associates says Presider Butler, are for the most part men \u201cwho know so many things which are not so that they make ignorance appear to he not only interesting.but pusitively important.The time has not come.however, when rational persons can contemplate with satisfaction the rule of the literary or academic Bolsheviki or permit them to seize responsibility for the intellectual life of the nation.\u201d \u201cThe same type of mind,\u201d to quote the report, \u201cwhich insists that it knows nn country but humanity.and that one should aim to he a citizen of nn state hut daly of the world.in- dalged itaolf in the Retion thar one may be disloyal to the academic to.ciety which he has voluntarily ininsd in order tn thaw rev Ha ta anme- thing that he conceives to h2 higher and of greater valu \u201cNeglect of one\u2019s academie adliga- tion, ar careleswmess regarding it, River rise tn difficult prnhlems, Men nf mature years who have a:hisved Late arrivals at the Chateau: Lieutand Mrs, F.B.Warner, Ottawa; D.Ritchie, A, E.Blaskell, Montreal; H.Piddington, Ottawa: Mr, and Mrs, P.| J.Lafñecte, Warwick: O.C.Smith, \u2018 Me.and Mrs.B.J.Bennett, F.Bennett, Thetford Mines; Capt.and Mrs, J, A.Goutet, E.Langlois, Three Rivers; James A.Burke.Elizabeth Burke, Lt.-Col.J.D.Brousseau, Halfax; Mrs.Brousseau, D.Brouxseau, Wm.Ritchie, Three Rivers; T.'W, Ferguson, Ottawa, Mr, and Mrs.M.K.Boiger celebrated on Saturday the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding.At à ociock in the morning à Low Mass was offered at St.l\u2019atricks\u2019 Ghurch Grand Allee, the celebrant being the kev.Father Woods C.SSR.Rector oi St.Patrick's Parish.During the Mass à solo was feelingly rendered by Miss Lottie Bolger, who was accompanied by Professor Dessane and Mr, A, Besudry upon the violin, A reception was held in the alter noon at the jubilarian's home, 51 Conroy street, st which the follow ing members of the family were pre- tent\u2014Mr.and Mre.M.MH.Bolger and family, Montreal; Mr.Jack R.Bolger, Montreal; Mr.Fred Bolger, Montreal; Mr.Allan Bolger, Aurora, Unt; Miss Lottle Boiger, Quebec} Mr, and Mes, D, A, Case, How York; Xr, and Mra A.J, Browns, Outre reputation enoueh tn he invited tn accupy à post of responsibility in a and be cailed upon !
