BETTER DAYS AHEAD?
As in outcome of a ether lengthy period daring
which strife and misunderstanding were rampant, the)
senate committee on publications and representatives
of the seseral student publications tossed aside any
prejudices when they met at dinner as guests of the,
Collets I ist uesda; evening Widely-divergent'
ideas were tossed into a general melting pot with)
the result th it the diners departed irons the banquet
table with clearer perceptions of the others' view
points than was formerly the C.lhe
Someone assembled a group co intelligent wordsl
when he, wrote "When there is mutual understand
ing lu..tween people who hate each other, the hatred
disappears " substance of that quotation adapts
itself quite conveniently to the misunderstanding,
between the senate committee ind the publications
bet irds that leached a china. Wednesday Atter the
people involved met and began to know one another,
it was generally realized that there was not a single
"criminal," nor "malicious slanderer," nor a "dis
loyal son 0 i Penn State," in the whole gathering
Before there can be the slightest understanding
and co-operation between varying groups each must
have n complete knowledge of the workings and feel
ings of the other It is of primary importance, how
ever, that a mutual respect exists before an attempt
is even 'made to become acquainted Unless this
exists, agrboment will be as remote as ever It would
seem that a new foundation should be laid.
LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE
Inclease, devtlopment and growth invariably
necessitate changes in the old order During the
past lew years the number of students applying for
admission at the portals of AmeriLin colleges and
universities has mounted with surprising rapidity
Institutions of higher learning have come into great
er prominence and have therefore received more criti
cism Magazine and newspaper articles entitled
"What's Wrong With Our Colleges , " have appeared
in glut prolusion and the number of disadvantages
et the present s)stem revealed by the self-appointed
critics has been nearly as large as the number of re
tonne's On many of the faults of our education
plait tit doctors disagree
That American institutions are over-crowded
is however, an accepted, fact College pres
idents mid scientific educators realize that the ever
increasing flood of students is turning our larger in
stitutions into mere factories of education, degree
mills, in which all personal touch is lost and culture
dies Cutting the undergradute body into a number
of small colleges on the Oxford and Cambridge plan
is the most obvious remedy for the situation. Evcr
since Professor George Adams Burton of Yale point
ed out the advisability of such action fifteen }revs
ago, the question has been under discussion front
tune to time.
Tut) years ago the Student Council of Education
at Harvard, in n survey of Harvard's education sys
tem, came out list-footeilly , in favor of subdividing
that institution's student body Recently President
Angell's suggestion that Yale establish a third college
to stand parallel with Yale college and the Sheffield
Scientific school, after receiving the enthusiastic sup
port of Dean Mendell, was turned over to a student
faculty committee and is now being seriously con
sidered
Some may object that breaking up our larger
institutions into several smaller colleges would be
opposed to the great American principle of democracy
in education and would taster a stronger spirit in
each individual unit, hut would destroy that vague
something called "college spirit" In an age of spa
'
cialmition, however, there can be no democracy in
Illigher educltion.
