'I he college student has a different '-elation to the war and to war thinking from thai ol the man in the street. Colleges exist to develop leaders, and leaders are thorn who lead, not those who fellow. It is nol i ci idental thai in Czarist Russia or todaj in Nazi Germany the college population is uapecl. I nivei itics are the first institutions to be closed when arbitrary decrees are to be issued. No fascist form of governinenl call permit free thought on the pail i f college students. Today reasonable freedom of thought exists in English colleges to a greater degree than elsewhere, nearly as great in American, and next in China. At the bottom stands college life in Germany, slightly above is Russia, and then Italy and Japan. In these totalitarian states the militaiy organisations of ex-military nature dominate the colleges and decide what is "subversive." What does this mean to the American college student'.' He is permitted to study the principles Of democracy fully in order to see for himself why real college life can exist only where thought is free. When he has convinced himself that intelligent study exists only where truth and not "the party line" is the test of belief, ,then he can give himself to a fight for a democratic country.
