Students 1899-04 volumes, illustrations, 23-25 cm. Call Number: LH1.K4 K44. The Kentuckian: A Monthly Magazine was published by the students of the State College of Kentucky. It was stated that "each month it will be one of the features of The Kentuckian to discuss one or more of the places of its characters. Every one should know his State and its people thoroughly. 'Tis better to know this than all the history ever written." The Kentuckian followed after the demise of The Cadet and it was felt that the Cadet was suggestive of only one department and that The Kentuckian would be a comprehensive and appropriate magazine that would be truly representative of K.S.C Volume numbering changed during 1899 from Volume 8 to Volume 2.

    college education, Recently at a meeting of the American  
Q,   Bar Association judge Simeon E. Baldwin, judge of the su-  
  { preme court of Conueticut :111d professor of constitutional law  
  5 in Yale University, delivered a strong address 011 "The Read-  I
  i justmeut of the Collegiate to the Prosessional course." In  
_ gg g the address Judge Baldwin brings out many points that are of  
  é great interest to all students and educators.  
    Speaking of tl1e address the Courier Journal (editorially)  
i     says: I V rf
Q ·¥ i "Naturally he felt it necessary to show that a readjust-  
i _"`· r ment is necessary. He calls attention to the fact that since  
' I i the civil war there has been a prolongation of every course of  
  -   study. Orignally, i11 Harvard and Yale, the course was for  
§   three years only. This was extended to four. The Virginia  
T   `   University I1l£1(i€ a departure by granting honors to those who  
Y   I deserved them irrespective of the time they had spent at Char-  
{     lottesville_ The general requirement now is still for four years.  
E k   At the same time the preparatory schools have been obliged to  
° A { add an additional year to their course of study. The lllllllllllfll  
l `   age for entering college was formerly fourteen. Now it is  
  1 nominally fifteen, but in the older and larger colleges it is A  
  , actually eighteen or nineteen. Thus the average age ofentrance la *""
  ) into the college is that which was once the age of graduation.
    Then the professional schools have courses of three or four L_
    years‘ The result is that the college course extends to the if
  ,’ pupils` twenty-third year. Three years of professionaltraining '° ° °
L  · brings him to twenty-six years of age. Even then he goes out
T",   still a learner, £l1l(l has to get i`l‘Ol11 the world at large that
A ] roundingout of his acquirements that is necessary to his success  
`>"f' i in life. judge Baldwin insists that this is devoting too much x
  _ Q time to learning in colleges and professionalschool. "The new ca- i
  _ techisu1," he says, "of the American university comes very close  
  A to teaching that the chief end of life is to get an educati0n,"

  when it would not be far wrong to say that it is to use an  
`I education. — i ·
  These severe requirements act injuriously in two waysi T  
  They keep a great many college graduates out of the profess~ z  
  ional schools; what is worse they keep so many prfessional l 
  students from entering upon or completing a collegiate course.  
  Less then 20 per cent. of our law students are college graduates A  
L  They can not wait so late in life to begin their chosen profess· i 
  ion. They must become breadwinners before they attain the _  
A age of twenty-live or tweuty—six years, and they either shorten i E
é their college course or omit it all together. On the other hand i
  college graduates, lacking the time or means for four years of   i
  professional study, enter the legal profession after a short  
  period of reading in a lawyers oflice.  
  judge Baldwin believes that public sentiment will soon L;
1.: demand an abridgement of the period for the preparatory school  
  or for the college course_ Ile thinks the best solution of the ‘  l
  problem would be to restore both to their old position. The  
  teaching of the senior year is such as was formerly in the post- T
  graduate course. lt might be restored to it, and the time of
  preparatory school abridged. By this means the student might .
  enter college at seventeen and leave it at twenty. A profess-
  ional course of three years would enable him to go to work at l
  twenty—three, which seems late enough in life to begin the l
  — work of self—support. `
  ]ud·ge Baldwin suggests without elaboration the idea that
up too long a residence within the walls of schools and colleges, i
surrounded by an atmosphere that is largely artificial, is not   ,
ig favorable to the development of those qualities that bring suc-   ·
J pi Q cess in most departments of human endeavor. It may do for i 2
the professional scholar who expects to spend his life in such
an atmosphere. llut "the proper study of mankind is man,"
. and nowhere more so than in the profession. \Vhen men go
i to work as lawyers, physicians and clergyman their business
is not principally with scholars, but with those of moderate
  educational acquirements or none at all. They have still to
  form the acquaintance of the great public to wl1on1 they must
E look for employment. The earlier they begin this study, other

  things being equal, the better for their success in life. The  
  study of books can not fully equip them for this work. The  
. }   longer it is deterred the more the professional 1nan has to un-  -
T   learn. Allowing for exceptions in the case of men of pre-emi·  
  nent gifts, the professional career begun early is the one most  
_ J;.   likely to be successful. Geniuses may take care of themselves;  
if .‘.i T our educational advantages should be adapted to the average il
  l standard. .  
;;‘_·   Whether this protest will he heeded by the great educa- ; 
  tional institutions may well be doubted. Their disposition to  
  Y teach all that is knowable will hardly be restrained. There is  
I     r no reason why it should be, but they 11eed not insist on teach- a _-
~     ing it to everybody. or as a prerequisite to a degree. But elec-  
;     tive courses are likely to come more and more into favor, and  
_     if the long courses are insisted on professional men will continue  
l i to get along without the degree of bachelor of arts,"  
  · ' . \Vhen such men as judge Baldwin, john Brisben \Valker,  
i A Z   and Edward Bok are serionly peering into our system of higher  
I F   education, we may know that all is not well and it is only a  
  if ? question of a comparatively short time ’til the curricula of our  
    colleges and universities will undergo a radical change, and in-  
T . » stead "cramming." we shall have more real practical training  
l l   —training that will actually prepare for duties of life. Then  
i'     it will not be said that a boy must spend four or five years after li?
