INTENTIONAL SECOND EXPOSURE | MY PLEA IS-THIS:that we now deliberately
set ourselves to make a home for the spirit of
learning:that we re-organize our colleges on the lines
of this simple conception,that a college is not only a
body of studies but a mode of associaticon;that its
courses are only its formal side,its contacts and con-
tagions its realities.It must become a community of
scholars and pupils,—a free community but a very real
one,in which democracy may work its reasonable
triumphs of accommodation,its vital processes of union.
I am not suggesting that young men be dragooned into
becoming scholars or tempted to become pedants,or
have any artificial compulsion whatsoevcr put upon
them,but only that they be introduced into the high
society of university ideals,be exposed to the hazards
of stimulating friendships,be intreduced into the easy
comradeships of the republic of letters.By this means
the class-room itself might some day come to seem a
part of life.
