Yesterday's announcement that six members of the Senior class had been appointed to teach at Yale-in-China comes as one of many reminders that Yale is not bounded by the four walls of the Campus. Although this significant university experiment across the Pacific may attract only the casual attention of most undergraduates, Chief Justice Taft recently added his word of praise by calling it a great investment in international good-will.

Precocity is a word that may well be used to describe this sister college of the Orient, when one remembers that a brief score of years has seen its growth into one of the leading institutions of the world's largest nation. The process of growth has been no smoother than one might expect in a city where a semi-monthly revolution or two is the ordinary distraction from academic pursuits, but the present year has seen important development in a unified administration looking forward to still greater progress under President Hume.

One of the outstanding characteristics of Yall is that it does not propose to Americanize Chine, but rather to cooperate with the Chinese in the interest of advancing education in their great country. . . . It was Washington Irxing who called prejudices the inveterate diseases of old nations, "contracted in rude and ignorant ages." We forego the advantages of our birth into an enlightened age if we do not shake off national prejudices as we would the local superstitions of the Old World. In a day when legislators only cloud the sky of international concord, this out-reaching spirit of Yale is one of the redeeming forces which serves to draw East and West closer together.

No finor tribute can be paid to the ideals and traditions of Yale than the service of carrying her spirit to the ends of the earth. Yale Daily News.
