Show Brigham Young University Uni-versity and its Ideals New ideals are elbowing: their way to the front in our great, busy, throbbing throb-bing world. Once men asked, "Who was your father?"-now they ask, "Who are you, what can you do, and how well can you do it?" The emphasis em-phasis has been shifted from ances try to character and efficiency. In similar strain, the educational world is veering over from the aristocratic aris-tocratic classic learning and pedantry pedant-ry of the past to that which is character chara-cter building in its nature, practiea' and useful in its application, and tends to make the world better, nappier, and more hopeful of the future. Ever educationally progressivei the Brigham Young Uuiversity is in accord with the new and greater ideals. Young men and women who come to this institution and partake of its 'educational spirit are better equippted, not only for the material duties of life, but also for the sympathetic sym-pathetic spiritual duties which re-conize re-conize the brotherhood of man and the fathehood of God. They learn the great lesson themselves. In this same spirit, the institution has so arranged ar-ranged its curriculum and faculty that a place will be found for every student who may come, no matter what his previous educational experience exper-ience or training may have been, no matter from what school he may have come, or if he ccmes from school at all. What he has acquired on the farm or range, shop or factory, store or bank will receive full recognition-The recognition-The requisite for admission to any course will be ability to do the work of that course; and in connection with the work chosen, every needed help and encouragement will be given giv-en to the student who meets with difficulties. The doors of the Brigham Young Uuiversity open October 7, giving opportunity to those who have summer sum-mer work, to complete the same and enter at the beginning of the school year. |
