A UNIVERSITY
GOES "ON TOUR"
A Sestion of the University of Min
nesota will go "on tour" again this
year. For one week last June the
people of small townB in Minnesota
had the State University in their
midst In the form of its most charac
teristic activities, and the eighteen
communities benefitted have unan
imously asked that the experience be
repeated next year.
"University Week" is the institu
tion by which this 1b made possible.
The project originated with President
George E. Vincent, of the University
of Minnesota, and at once gained the
popular nickname of "President Vin
cent's Educational Circus," largely be
cause of the touring method and the
fact that it waB at first planned to
hold most of the sessions in tents.
The plan is something more than
merely university extension. To all
intents and purposes a representative
portion of the university?faculty,
students, and equipment?is tempo
rarily detached and transferred to
other parts of the State, thus actually
extending the benefits of the State's
costliest educational plant to a wider
f^eld than ever before. Tho plan Is
considered by the United States Bu
reau of Education an excellent device
for bringing together for mutual profit
a State University and tho peoplo
who support it
What "University Week" really is
may bo seen from a typical program.
Each day of the six is devoted to
some special topic, with lectures and
domonstratlonfe during the daytime
and high class entertainments at
night. Thus, Monday is Busncss Men's
Day. There are lectures on all kinds
of topics interesting to business men,
from marketing problems to fighting
forest fires, as well as a fe wtalks of
moro general nature. In the evening
there is a concert by tho University
Glee Club. Tuesday is Art and Liter
ature Day, with lectures on libraries,
children's books, women's clubs, civ
ic betterment, the drama, and similar
subjects. There is a reading hour in
the afternoon, in charge of a trained
elocutionist, and an industrial art ex
hibit; in the evening an illustrated lec
ture: "Art in Common Things."
Wednesday is Home Welfare Day.
In the day sessions such problems as
"The Human Beings of High-School
Age," "Why Babies Die," rational liv
ing, kindergartens, and industrial ed
ucation arc considered, while at night
a prominent educator gives an illus
trated lecture on "How Minnesota Ed
ucates Her Children." Thursday is
Public Health Day, with appropriate
lectures and exhibits. In the eve
ning there is a dramatic recital of a
modern play.
Friday is Farmers' Day, and live
questions of farm policy are discussed
by experts in agriculture. There is
also an address on "The Social Pos
sibilities of Rural Communities" by
an educator who has made special
studies In this field. In the evenings
professors from the university give a
scientific demonstration of the gyro
scope and liquid air. Saturday is
Town and Country Day, with "Social
Life in Town and Country" as the
leading topic. In the evening the Uni
versity Dramatic Club appears in
Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice.
Genuine interest is aroused in the
towns visited. In most instances the
people take the visit of the university
as the business of the week, and de
vote all their attention to It Not
only the townspeople, but farmers
from outlying districts as well, at
tend the sessions. Boys' farming
camps arc organized in connection
with the University Week, and always
proves a popular feature. The Uni
versity authorities and those who co
operato with them ? State health
boards and other agencies?are par
ticularly careful to provide speakers
who not only know their subject well,
but are able to talk interestingly to a
nonunlverslty audience. The expense
or obtaining such men would be pro
hibitive but for an ingenious arrange
ment of circuits, whereby the travel
ing University Week is ables to "play"
six communities in the same neighbor
hood by interchanging days.
It is estimated that there are sev
eral ways in which this novel plan of
extending the Influence of a State
university will have a direct effect:
In the first place, it will make the
work of the university well and fav
orably known where it has been known
only vaguely or even mistakonly; It
will break down the already weaken
ing barrier of educational exclusive
ness; and more important still, it is
one more link in the chain of rural
betterment. It emphasizes an essential
point in the present-day conception
of rural life?that town and country
are one community.
