Sfoddart Defends
Education Policy
Wants Mediocre Students
Trained For Citizenship
"A leader is without influence
if he has no followers, and the
moie intelligent the followers the
better will be the results at
tained," said Dean Charles W
Stoddart of the Liberal Arts
School s yesterday in defense of the
tendency in modern education to
pay more attention to mediocre
students than to gifted ones
While admitting that a few of
the privately endowed colleges
can afford to limit their activities
to the education of only the best
students, Dean Stoddart believes
that publicly-endowed institutions
are charged with the responsibil
ity of giving an adequate training
to all future citizens who can car
ry the work reasonably well.
In answering Dr Frank Aydel
otte, Pi esident of Swarthmore
College whq asserted at the Uni
versity of Virginia on April 13
that he believes in placing the
emphasis on the training of lead..
ership, Dean Stoddart .said the
leaders in a democracy should be
trained, but in a democracy the
aveiage student should also be
trained in those fundamentals
which make for better citizenship',

Locklin Debunks'
Collegiate Myth ,
'Joe College' Type Out
As Typical Student
Hollywood and novels to tl , e
contrary, there are no such typical
students as "Joe College" or "Bet
ty Coed," says Prof. A Pauline
Locklin of the department of Eng
lish literature
"There is no more a student
type," she asserts, "than there is
a student nose No two students
can be depended upon to think
alike about anything Students
are Just young people who happen
to be attending college"
"College students are no more
alike in what they eat or drink or
wear than any other group of
young people," she says
Professor Locklin, who collects
generalizations about college...stu
dents as a-hobby, concludes that
the public's image of the Overage
college student is based on mere
superficialities,
