ADDRESS BY
PRES. MONNET
Opening The University For
The 1911-12 Year. At-
tacks Present Policy
STEP mm DARK AGES
Address Full of Logic And
Foresight. Exercises
Well Attended
Weak from ttie ravages of disease
brought on by the rupture of a blood
vessel shortly before the opening of
tbe college year, j'ullen C. Monnet,
acthid president ol the state univer-
sity, left a sink bed to deliver the an-
nual address at the impressive ex-
ercises attending the foiiiiil opening
of tbe school Thursday morning.
Following the policy of frankness
and candor which he has pursued In
the hrief year that lias seen him rise
from an untried niemberof the faculty
to he acting president of the univer-
sity, he severely arraigned tbe"build-
ing up of the inferior agricultural and
normal schools a', the expense of the
state university," declared that to
prescribe the personal habits of men
occupying the exaulted position* held
by members of a college faculty was
a step backward toward the dark ages
and laid it down ns a principle well
settled in higher educational circles
that boards of control should tal e
charge of only the broadest problems
of the university and should not seek
to interfere with the powers delegat-
ed to those directly responsible for
its internal administration.
He continued to outline a well plan-
ned and comprehensive policy forthe
upbuilding of the university, pointing
time aud again to the absolute neces-
sity of the institution being free from
political or other outside domination
fi it was to attain its proper ends.
Tbe address in its uiost pertinent
paragrflghs was as follows:
•'The state universities in the
strong Hates of the union have be-
come and are today the greatest
single factors of civic righteousness
and orogrrss in their respective com-
monwealths. Is Oklahoma to take
her place among this list of commou-
wealtbsV is the slate university of
Oklahoma to become here a great
factor in thedevelopemeut of all that
Is be-t and most progressive in the
state? Surely it can ne^er b« said
tbat this magniticient empire is in-
sufficient to sustain it. Oklahoma,
with her wealth and resources, is the
last great opportunity for putting In-
to practice the experimental know-
ledge of education learned from the
other states and forfiting by their
example mid developing even great-
er institutions.
' The present problem of the state
university is to lay Its foundation sure
find deep. This can only be accom-
plished by conscientious study of
other successful Institutions. It Is
not sate to reach out and attempt to
be original in matters of
education. It in better
to keep to the beaten paths of sue-
cessfnl experience and be content to
follc/w where other great leaders have
gone -successfully before. The time
may come when we shall occupy such
an important advance position as
that we shall be able to dictate new
Ideas In education, but in the early
history of a commonwealth In con
servatismles safety.
"It is essential that the educational
system itself of the state, as it now
exists,,shall be completely revised,
it is necessary to understand that
iltere cannot be more than one iiniver
sity conducted by the state, Hint the
'very name "university" includes all
knowledge capable of scientific clat-
situation and generalization. That
there cannot lie such a thing as an
agricultural uniyetslty or a normal
university, but Uiat the university it-
self includes nil general knowledge
and that special sel ools for special
purposes should be confined strictly
aud absolutely within their limits. A
campaign of consolidation should be
ceaselessly waged and no halt should
be called until the tini= arrives when
the educational system of the state
shall not be expended in unwise du-
plication.
"There should be in every univer-
sity absolute academic freedom. It
is 'he very bieath and life of tlienni-
veisity. It has been the boast of the
universities from time immemorial
that beie at leant was one spot un-
trsnimeted by intrigue or gpeci'i) in-
teiest; thai here at lf-a«t was one
place wheie men might devote their
IIV's absolutely to the search for that
which is honest, enlightening and
line. Every form of restriction upou
the conduct, the thoughts and pur
poses of a university faculty is a bur-
rler In the way of academic progress.
To prescribe the personal habits of
men occupying the dignified and ex-
alted positions held by members of a
college faculty is a step backward
toward the dark ages.
'"A continual campaign of educa-
tion must be waged that the legis
lature may be brought to understand
the great necessity, in t lie state's own
interest of developing a pnwerful uni-
versity, equal to those in our slstir
states, livery branch and arm of the
affairs of the state government, ulti-
mately will feel and feel strongly the
enlightening and elevating influence*
of a well supported state university."
The address was preceeded by the
invocation by Rev. Stiles of Norman
and musical numbers by Professor
Lenox and Miss Newby
Summers- I o\

FIRST GAME
Defeats Anadarko High Satur-
day Afternoon on Boyd
Field in Opener
SCORE WAS 4810 NOTHING
High School Shows. Up In
Classy Style and Run all
Over Visitors
The Norman High School fonlball
team opened their Hill season on Boyd
Field Saturday afternoon by Mooring
the husky ag^regation trom Anadar
ko High by the top heavy score of 47
to 0. The game was a runaway lor
the high school lads and only once did
| Anadarko make their downs. From
j a practice standpoint, the contest
was just tile thing and it gave Coach
Thompson a chance to look over tils
material to a good advantage. 'I he
I entire forty minutes was chai.e terU
] ed by a series ol end runs,forward pas
j se« and tin-ide kicks I ha t com pi - t el y
[ bewildered the Caildn county b >y -.
j for three weeks practice the Ills;h
schoolers have perfected a hard going
machine and thy run very good in-
terference. Saturday was their (list
appearance in the r new outtit, re-
cently bought by a subscription from
the business men, and lliey looked the
part of a metropolitan team: one ihat
Norman c an feel proud of on foreign
fields
The first touch down was made in
less than two minutes and at the close
of the ti rut quarter the score was i uu
up to :il to o. New reeniflf were sent
in all during the game and all the
boys were given a chance lo see wtwit
they could ..do. Captain Hnrve Colli s
was the star of the game. Ilisbii -
liant dashes and all-around work won
hi in a stronger home than ever ii. I lie
heart of the high school tans. Sp it
Ceyer was only used during the last
| two minutes of the game but on his
first attempt lo carry the ball he
went a full fifteen yards with at least
three of the Anadarko team hanging
on his hack. Spot will prove a tower
cf strength to tli- high school this
season.
The men who were used in the Sat
urday game were as follows: Taft,
Sloiiiger, r'apshaw, Gey-r, Collins,
Walls, Mcb'erron, Smith, Brown,Boyd
I lliitt, Searle, Johnson, C. Wails, I'.
McFerron, .1. Johnson, and one or two
others who-e names were not obtain-
able,. In ail twenty men are still on
i the squad and will lie given chances
in all the preliminary games.
Oklahoma High wrll probably lie
here November loth and chickasha
will be here Thanksgiving Day. Sev-
eral other games will be played on
Boyd Field because of the fact that
; the Varsity team will only have tbe
Washburn game here. All the larger
games will be played away from
home.
A good croiv I aw the game Satur-
day and arc- more than ever convinc-
ed that Norman High will win the
championship this season.
Kniiii the latest Infoi uia lull obtain-
able, t he Not man 11 if: ti buol t<-ain
will journey to I'I It. no Saturday
where they will try conclusions wlib
the high school team representing
that lau city. Fifteen men will make
j the trip, including CoacliYhoinpson.
Ml Reno is repoited to have a fast
1 heavy bunch this year and may spring
t lie une xpeeled on Norman. However,
the local lads expect to win by- at
j least a touchdown or two.
j I II rtenn was defeati d here last
season by a score of Hi. lo ti, lint this
year It may be a different tale, as
they have prac' icai I y the ainc llne-
i up as last year. With one seasons
experience, a rather still' machine
] has been perfected.
Chickasha won their first game last
Saturday from Lindsay by a score of
i fid to ti and according to newspaper
\ talk of that town, already are con-
gratulating themselves 011 another
championship team. Norunn Is after
| the Thanksgiving game with Chix
and since it is their turn to play here,
11 hot game Is expected anil the two
teams will work Lard all season in
order to prepare for the final clash.
Noiioubt Chickasha will come this
year with the expectations of win-
ning from Norman.

Sophomores Win right
The Sophomotes won the annual
class scrap over the Freshman on the
University campus Thursday morn-
ing after about an hour's hard fight
ing. It was tbe second time in tbe
history of the school that the second
year men weie victorious. The tight
while it tasted was the fiercest ever
staged between the t wo. The Fresh
men class, although -tionger In point
of number judging from the enroll-
ment, fai ed to turn out a full quota
of luenand seemed Intake the 'bluff'
of the sophomores to heart.
The fight began a few minutes af-
ter eight o'clock and within forty
minutes Frank Carson", leader of the
second year men, announced tbat all
the Freshmen were duly tied and that
the Sophmore colors were and would
be Hilton -bed al the top of tbe Hag
pole, from which they stresmed.
I.og chains were used by the soph
mores to a great advantage and when
once the freshmen were tied up there
was 110 "hance for them to break
loose.
'I lie clas. scrap came near resulting
fatally for the first lime, Beverly,
a giant sophomore football player
from Texas A & M. college, was
found unconscious near the Santa Fe
track Thursday morning. When he
regained consciousness lie stated that
three hoys had passed him near the
trees on the court house grounds.
They came up behind him and with
an awful oath, he was deall a knock-
out blow on tbe back o f the head, lie
said he could not account for tbe as
nault as he kuew of no one who held
anything against him and that he
knew nobody I11 Norman. He is op
and around now.
