Freshman Men To Reappear
On Campus if Dorms Are Ready
A freshman class composed of both men and women will appear
on campus next fall for the first time since 1945, if the present dor
mitories now under construction are completed before the fall
semester.
"Tentative plans have been made to bring between 1000 and 1600
freshman men and 250 freshman women to the- campus next fall, if
the new dormitories crystallize by
that time,” said Adrian O. Morse
at a meeting of the American As
sociation of University Professors
at the College last night. How
ever, he did not state whether
freshmen or upperclassmen would
live in the new dorms.
Mr. Morse also pointed out that
there will be between 1000 and
1000 freshman men at the centers.
This will make a total freshman
class of 3400, including 550 fresh
man women who will attend the
centers
College Opinions Differ
“There are two schools of
thought at the College about
bringing a freshman class to the
campus," said Mr. Morse. “One
school of thought is that the Col
lege enrollment cannot be enlarg
ed without cheapening the quality
and quantity of instruction. The
other school of thought is that
the freshman class should be
brought to the College and thus
gain the advantage of four years
of schooling at one college.”
The latter school thinks that the
College' should build more build
ings and get qualified instructors
to handle an increasing enroll
ment. The present policy, which
is only temporary, is a, compro
mise between the two.
It was also pointed out that of'
every 100 freshmen who eqroll at
the College centers, approximate
ly 50 drop out of College. Of the
50 who remain, 24 come to the
campus and 26 go to other col
leges.
Dr. Clarence R. Carpenter, pro
fessor of psychology at the Col
lege, served as moderator on the
panel. Other members of the panel
include Mr. Morse, J. Orvis Kel
ler, assistant to the president in
charge of Extension: and William
H. Powers, director of arts and
science Extension.
