Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - May 23, 1961, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news i Arf vol. 8i, no. 121 these Days by George e. Kokolsky the intellectuals the word. Intellectual used to mean a person who devoted himself to the Pursuit of knowledge usually the humanities. In czarist Russia a Man who reads books wore Pince Nez Eye glasses and perhaps a Goatee said he was of the intelligent Sta to distinguish him self trom ii peasant or a merchant til the United states where everyone expected to or Able to read and write and even to quote ii sentence from a poet it was a. Inned for most of our history that till men and women possessed and used their intellects. Re at of course was before we became class conscious and sought particular status in lieu of riches such Cis Horatio Alger regarded As the goal of ill Good and virtuous men it was during Franklin d Roosevelt regime that the word intellectual came into every Day use in tins country and it was during senator Joe Mccarthy s Hev Day that the term anti intellectual was applied to those who favored Joe or Joe s purposes even if they disliked his so called methods such intellectuals As or j. B Matthews a linguist of wide renown and William f. Buckley or who has brought glory to Yale by including it in a title with clod have been described As anti intellectual the truth is that Matthews and Buckley would in Europe and Asia for intellectuals w i Iii some would regard them As anti intellect Safe would be looked upon As proletarians masquerading As doctors of philosophy the standards of american universities Are so Iii verse that it is difficult to determine what a collegiate or University degree actually Means. For instance a b a. From some american colleges represents hard work from others it merely Means attendance an a from some american universities often Means a High Standard of intellectual work and discipline from others an a is As def ficus to get As an Entrance into beaten in others it is granted for excellence in Apple polishing or for being a big wheel. The Resit i of this confusion is that Many present themselves As intellectuals who hardly know any subject beyond a of a so called discipline. Recently i went Down to Greenwich Village in new York w tire i was reminded of the Good. Old Days just before world War i. The intellectuals of those Days sat Iii Polly s restaurant discussing any subject that arose with More emotion than is today heard to discover even in a faculty club. In those Days an educated Man tried to know everything and Road everything. He turned from twi lit is to painting with Case from music to mathematics As though it were the same subject which for. Ooth it is it was a me when an educated Man v at Eclectic and an argument was in the realm of thought not of definitions a which cultured person. Knew All about. Too i went to a cafe called til Ere were assembled All sorts of human beings in every state of disarray. Some were playing che., others were drinking Coffee. But everybody was talking and it was a different kind of talk from that which one hears at such fanciful restaurants As the Colony or �?o21,&Quot because these people have nothing to do with business or with gossip. They Are not concerned with tile love affairs of this hoodlum or that Multi millionaire. Tile conversation was impersonal and astr aet and unselfish. Young people talked because they wanted to discover what to them could eventually be the truth. They supported their arguments with a wide Range of knowledge. Some of it was tripe but none of it was useless. And that is How the in Telle t is drilled. It is dispute tion that docs that. Too i by a Brilliant Young which nowadays hts about Washington thinking out policy and making mistakes in Cuba Laos. Korea about the Dollar and i Gold and what not a is neither so Brilliant nor so Young. Some have served under Roosevelt some under Truman there is a hopefulness about them but also an opportunism which when expressed in action can often be ugly and degrading As opportunism so l often is. A True intellectual cannot j be an opportunist any More than i he can of one of a great crowd. 1 copyright 1961, King features Syndicate inc it.
