FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
New Program
For Evaluation
Planned for '55
Penn State will be re-evaluated in November, 1955, under a new
plan of mutual self-aid to strengthen higher education, College deans
and department heads were told yesterday.
F. Taylor Jones, executive assistant to the secretary of the
Middle States AssociatiOn. of Colleges and Secondary Schools, yester-
day outlined the new plan de
signed to measure colleges in
their own terms, rather than from
outside the education field.
"For Penn State, accreditation
is not the problem," Jones said.
But, he said, an evaluation of the
institution will serve to point out
its weak points and allow the
College to improve itself.
The new evaluation process is
an attempt to combine the ac
creditation procedures of several
professional groups with an over
all evaluation of the institution
by the Middle States Association.
Evaluation is a coniparatively
new approach, Jones indicated.
Penn State was last accredited
by the association in the early
1920'5. The association includes
institutions of 'higher education
in five Middle Atlantic states.
Team to Visit College
"The whole evaluation process
resolves itself to two questions,"
Jones said. "First; - what is the
institution attempting to do, and
second, how well is it achieving
those objectives?" The idea be
hind evaluation, he said, is to
allow institutions to help each
other.
An evaluation team, represent
ing other colleges, will visit Penn
State the week of Nov. 7, 1955.
A final report will be forwarded
to the College President. He may
take any action he wishes, Jones
said.
"A study of the institution is
made in its own terms," Jones
said. "The institution must de
fine its reason-for being, so others
may understand that reason and
