In Symposium
3 Propose Changes

“Tlie college of today is not justi
fying its existence;" “The Chicago
plan is the only practicable one;”
“The graduates of today are definite
ly educated;” "We need a real col

professional college.”
These were the challenges given
Thursday night in Schwab auditori
um in a symposium and forum spoil
sored jointly by the Christian Asso
ciation and the Forensic Council on
the subject “What Changes Should
Be Made in American Higher Educa
tion V"
J. Edwin Malz '3B, presenting the
case against the present liberal arts
| college, declared that there is no cor
relation between “throwing material
back at the instructor in exams and
education." He cited the findings of
the Carnegie foundation project
which lie said proved that college stu
dents are not being cdueated.
Fred.L. Young, Jr., ’3B, advocating
the Chicago plan, pointed out the ad
vantages to be. obtained from volun
tary class attendance and advance
ment .'ot theVaUulont -al'liis * own “pace/
The net" result-of the plan, Young
said, was a higher grade student en
rolled in the institution.
Edwin K. Taylor ’3B stressed the
disadvantages of the Chicago' plan in
his arguments for’the present liberal
arts college. Declaring that the plan
puts too much emphasis on the intel
lect to the neglect of personality de
velopment, Taylor said that the pres
ent system gives the greatest amount
of education to the greatest number.
.Raymond P. Fishburne '3D pro
posed three types of colleges, each to
accommodate a specific type of stu
dent: the real college for the student
who wants cultural advantages, the
gentleman’s college for the “playboy”
student, and the professional college
for those who want to enter the pro
