That to man is a hero to his valet is an ancient and generally accepted maxim; that no university possesses many virtues in the eyes of its students is not quite as ancient but as generally accepted.

The trouble is, of course, in the first case, that the valet has a restricted point of view when he sees his master. The hero, whom others admire, to the valet becomes a plain individual who must be looked after, whose clothes must be pressed, and who must have his eggs boiled exactly three minutes.

And the trouble in the second case, too, is that the students have a restricted point of view when they see their school. The university to them becomes an institution which is in the same place every day, rain or shine, which is a good or bad place, depending on whither the student passes of flunks a course, and which loses most of its glamor and color because of years of intimacy with it. For just these reasons, many students at Boston University have an inferiority complex.

Like the valet, the students do not see the many excellent qualities of their school, which outsiders recognize and appreciate. Perhaps because of the years of tradition, such New England universities as Harvard and Yale are apt to overshadow a younger school like Boston University and warp the student's outlook on the excellencies of this institution.

However, this is largely a matter of familiarity breeding indifference. This inferiority complex is prevalent at other colleges also. But, If the student will stand off with the group which recognizes his University's greatness, he too, will soon see his school in the light of its excellent qualities.

Many students see nothing good about the University, while outsiders, who know more about the outstanding qualities of the college, see everything good about it. If Boston University were moved away from Boston, the loss would be keenly felt by the community.

Boston University is probably the most liberal institution of higher learning in New England. It offers the "open door" policy to all students; it is not prejudiced against any religion.

The University boasts of several hundred outstanding educators who are known throughout the word. The faculty is known for its brilliance. Books written by members of the University faculty are used as standard texts in many of the largest institution in the country today.

All of the departments, especially the older ones, have graduates who are new outstanding in their line of work. The School of Law, School of Medicine, and School of Theology, and Religious Education, rank at the top of the colleges of their type. The College of Liberal Arts, the College of Practical Arts and Letters, the College of Business Administration, the school of Education, the College of Music, and Sargent School as stand out as leaders in their type of education. All the departments are recognized throughout the United States and foreign countries as ranking leaders in education.

All "complexed" students should get the proper perspective and realize the worthiness of Boston University For Boston University is truly a great in situation and no student need have an inferiority complex because he is a member of the University family Boston University News
