Assertion of Profaaaor David Starr Jerdan of Laland Stanford Univer¬ sity Cauaea C«na)darabla Disouasion. University of MInneaota Membara Inderae Sentiment.
Palo Alto. Cal.— Tbe assertion of Ohancelior David Starr Jordan In a re¬ cent address to the students of Leland Stanford university tbat tbere are too many "lowbrows" in college caused considerable discussion among tbe stu¬ dents.
Tbe campus bas been bnsxing with that theme, and from tbe way many of the students talked It was apparent that they disagreed with Mr. Jordan, while others were on tbe afflrmative side.
A "lowbrow," Mr. Jordan explained, wa.s only one degree removed from a

"roughuccli." Till" ¦•li)\vl>ro\v" was too practicui. Just ns the "liiphlirow" was not prartl''ul fuonu'li.
Jordau'.s subject wns "A Man." iii:d during the ('uurs<> of liis lalk he de- (.-Inred It wus u Kood thiuK to learn to lie In tho uiiiiority.
The viilienl iioints uf bis addre^is vvere seriously studied by faculty mem¬ bers nt the rniversity of Minnesota, aud a dispatch from Minneapolis said they heartily Indorsed .Mr. Jordan's statements and that he expressed tbe f^eneral opinion of tlie faculty mem¬ bera.
Some of them, however, took excej)- Hoii to tbe way the Californian put It: but, acceptluK his deflnltlon of "low¬ brow" as one who is too practical and a "highbrow" as one who is not prac¬ tical enough, tliey nRreod with tbe sen t iment.
"Normal brows" are tbe ideal of tlie enKiueerlnK college at tbe University of .Mhinesotu, where the most practical students are believed to foregather, ac¬ cording to Dean Frauds C, Shenehon. He* said the students come to tbe col¬ lege from blgb school with "lowbrow" tendencies and tbat the college tries to take the "iowbrowisin" out of them be¬ fore they are graduated.
"Lowbrows," according to Deuu Shenehon, are more In danger of get ting out of date than are the "high brows." Practice changes and prin olptes do not, be said, so tbe man wb< Is too practioal easily may be left be hind.
"There's something to what he suys.' admitted J. M. Thomas, bead of tin rhetoric department, "but I don't llki his Knglish. Most of the students g< directly into a professional school, ot If tbey take a course In the acadeiult college it Is to train tbem for sume ispe- clal work."
Tbe inference ou tbe part of all the .Minnesota professors waa that enter¬ ing studeuts are distinctly in the "low¬ brow" classification, and the work of tbe faculty is to elevate their foreheads before they escape with diplomas.

A parcel post social will be held at the Roosevelt Methodist Episcopal church, Whitehouse avenue, Roose¬ velt, on Tuesday evening, Feb. 29, un¬ der the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society.

Clark at Minnaapelia Hetel Declarea Handahaka la Conaidared a Reliable Index to Charaetar by Thoae In Hia Lina af Buaineaa—Oafinaa Gripe of Prafaealonai Man.
Minneapolis.—Wben a "feller" shakes bands abont TiO.OOO times a year he ought to develop into a connoisseur. In tbe opinion of Hector L. Bourgerte. "greeter extraordinary" of the Nicollet hotel, who represented MinneapollH last year at the "greeters' " convention In California.
Hotel men, wbo bave to place much trust in thousands of persons, consider the handshake a reliable index to char¬ acter. Bourgerie declared.
"We can make a fair guess as to a man's occupation wben we clasp his hand," he continued. "The farmer or laborer has callouses on bis band. We cannot mistake bim. A fellow with soft bands wbo says he's a farmer arouses our suspicions.
"We have to distinguish professional men by subtle characteristics in tbeir grips. For example, a pastor is likely to hold your band as long as you let blm. A traveling man usually gives you a hard, quick grip. I should say that this clasp is one of tbe most plea.i urable and satisfactory. It paves the way for business. A doctor is inclined to advance bis fingers to your wrists. You get thc idea that be wants to feel your pulse.
"The lawyer Is a frequent gripper. He has a tendency to try you as to all the fraternal orders of which be may be a memlier. He developed tbe grip¬ ping habit nt college and bas found it a valuable asset in his business, esjie¬ cially If he's a politician. The teacher shakes hands less than other profes sional men. lie does not have to culti¬ vate popular good will. His clasp Is a (TOSS between that of ix preacher aud a salesman."
Bourgerie extended his hand for in spectlou. "You will notice that tbe muscles are exceptionally developed for one who doesn't labor hard."
Bourgerie has a grip like a vise.
"When a fellow triea to outgrlp me," he boasted, "he usually gets fool¬ ed. I put 'venturesome' in my charac-- terization of him. No one has been able to make me wince yet. 1 bave turned the tables on a few who have tr|e<l. Ordinarily I am careful not to hurt any one.
"A flrm grip may be taken as a mark of sincerity-. Witii your frieuds it lie tokens more than u pleasure at seeing you. It Indicates honesty aud a few other (luallflcations that society has found Indispensable."
Bourgerie eX|ie('ls to shake hands at least a niilllDii times In the nest dec ade. He alrend.v has sliaken r»(K).lKM> hands and predicted a future annual average of .'.tUMMl.
