YALE EXAMINES THE REMEDY Yale is now considering the Harvard plan of improvement The report of the Harvard Student Council on Education calls for a division of the university into small schools in order to provide a closer social spa it and to knit a tighter relationship between fa t ulty and student. The proposal as a whole is a duplication of the Oxfoid and Cambridge systems. The Yale Alumni Weekly, commenting on the plan, feels that the proposal will not remedy the something that ails the college The edilois believe that the abolition of compul-soiy chapel was a blow to the “social" sohdauty” that the custom fosteied, feeling pei haps that chapel had the same effect as a smoker or a baibecue The Ilaivard plan, particulaily the section that deals with the di vision of the college, was examined, found faulty, and thrown into the discard. The Weekly then looked into the fraternity as a means of get ting the undergraduate into the Camaraderie spirit. But it finds that the fraternities gather only two-fifths of the student body in to the seci et folds. What then is to become of Yale? The pana cea foi the ills, according to the Weekly, is that the fraternity should tap moie men and that there should be moie fraternities. The Harvard plan together with pio and con views make m tciosting reading matter for those who are continually woirying over what ails the college. It is true that our universities and their systems are not perfect, yet the ills accredited them are large ly imaginary. It is i idiculous to split up the university for the sake of creat ing close social units Nothing would be more conducive to build ing of a college man, cut by a die. The system may mb off the provincialism of the freshman but it is certain to produce some thing more obnoxious than provincialism,—the “collegian.” The only ailment from which the collegesuffers is the ten dency on the part of administrations to mimic industry and its huge scale pioduction. To grow “bigger and better” and to “give every man a chance to learn” is the evident policy of the majority (>t Ameiican umvci.sities. It is generally admitted that thcic are in colleges a great percentage of men who simply “don’t belong” This is the result hugely of the alleged oppoitunities offered by colleges to prepare men for every possible \ocation with the exception of bootlegging To di\est colleges of courses in horse shoeing, salesmanship, plumbing, and so forth would naturally ic l emove a glittei ing attraction. Specialized coin ses of that caliber have no place in the university. Then again, a careful selection of the entrants and the closing of the sluice gates before the college i.s Hooded would keep it fiom resembling a factory. There ought not to be any wony over the social pioblcm There is none. College men do not lack the social instinct and jf they did, what of it* Grouping, however, is a natural process and should remain so lather than to become an arbitraly division by ioicmg a gioup of undergraduates together merely because they belong to the same class or school and completely ignoring their personalities.

He told how the work of the slations has been undei (he, because the lank and file thought that the re soaidi men were emphasizing produc tion ratlioi than distribution Mi Haskell stated that we do not have complete contiol over production, hut that our knowledge of how to light disease and insect pests, and our hcttci cultuial methods have given us tontiol ovei the yield.

He spoke on “Problems of Mutual Inteiest to the Agricultui ist and the Engineer” He took un such topics as refoiestration, m ic* gard to the water supply, soil drain age, irrigation and highways He said that the Euiopeans maivcl at the wav we construct our highways, because we survey them after they have been built to sec if we have built thei right. Another topic was the power on the faim, an essential factor to the farmer of today, because it relieves drudgery of the farm woman and helps the fanner m his work Short talks were given by dircrtois W J Morse, of Oiono, Maine, J C Kendall, of Duiham, New Hampsne, W J Slate, Jr. of New Haven, Con necticut; B. L. Haitwell, of Kingston, Rhode Island; R. N. Thatchei, of Ith aca, New York, and A. C McCuc, of Ncwaik, Delaware. Eserything served at the banquet was produced on the farms of the College. The speakers’ table was dec orated with several bouquets of roses, brought from the greenhouse of the botany department. At the plate ol each was a carnation, also fiom the greenhouse. The members had a business session on Friday ut which they discussed the woik of the diffeient expeiimental stations The object of this was to u void the necessity of two stations working on the same phase of ie* seaich. During the rest of the time here, they studied the experiments in progress in the College.
