Trabue Calls
Dewey 'Great'
Dr. M. R. Trabue, ,dean of the
School of Education at the Col
lege, yesterday hailed John Dewey
as one of the greatest men Ameri
ca has produced.
His statement was made in con
nection with John Dewey Week,
being observed this week at the
College and throughout the na
tion. It marks the 90th birthday
of the Vermont-born educator.
“John Dewey’s greatness lies,
not in any material things pro
duced, but in the rich insights he
has developed with regard to
man’s relationships with the in
stitutions he has created,” Dean
Trabue said.
“Recognizing social, political,
economic, and industrial institu
tions as agencies developed by
men to serve their fundamental
life needs, Dewey tests each such
agency, organization, custom, or
program by the extent to which it
develops the abilities of the people
concerned to work out still more
effective schemes to serve the
common welfare.”
“Unless an organization is de
veloping the abilities of its mem
bers to improve their programs
for the common welfare, it is, in
Dewey’s judgment, ineffective and
undesirable,” Dean Trabue said.
“In this point of view, Dewey has
provided a compass by which men
may safely steer the development
of democratic institutions.”

curriculum when he entered the
center. He had always liked phy
sics and math and thought he had
chosen the field he was best suit
ed for.
But in the. classroom, he found
his mind wandering when the
prof stopped speaking of great
engineering feats performed by
men who had sat in the same seat
Sam occupied and got down to the
business of intricate formulas and
problems.
More Troubles
The same thing happened when
he sat aown in his room at night
to struggle with his slide rule. It
was always late when Sam called
it a day and put his “slip-stick”-
back in its case.
Somehow he managed to
squeeze through that first semes
ter, but when the results of his
second semester work came out
both he and the dean of his school
knew that Sam was a confirmed
member of the misplaced stu
dent’s party.
Naturally he was discouraged
and ashamed. That is, until his
case was taken up by the DIR.
First he was given “screening"
tests with a group of students
from any number of curricula.
When these test results were
studied, Sam was subjected to a
battery of additional “specialized”
tests.
Change Course
The DIR man told him that he
just wasn’t “cut out” to be an en
gineer, but should be able to aver
age 2.10 if he switched to C & F.
He was also told that results tab
ulated by DIR show that their
predictions have proven striking
ly accurate in the past.
Happy in his new work, Sam
was able to remove himself from
the Division within one semes
ter by exceeding the 1.2 -required
of him. His average was''!.B7.

least once before sending a notice

For the benefit of defendents,
Keller defined the campus area
as extending from Burrowes road
to Curtin road. The designated
parking area on east campus, he
said, is Shortlidge road north of
Pollock on the west side or in
other words—alongside the TUB.
Keller also disclosed that Tri
bunal has recommended to Wil
mer E. Kenworthy, assistant to
the president in charge of stu
dent affairs, that no students be
allowed to park anywhere on the
campus after Jan. 1.
On that date, he said, all cam
pus permit tags are to be collect
ed and reissued. It is hoped that
a more equitable distribution of
tags can be made, Keller con.
tinued, but the surest method to
alleviate the traffic problem is
to keep all student cars off of the
campus.
