Class Size Shows
Little Significance
Little difference exists in achievement between students
taught in large classes and those taught in small groups, ac
cording to the findings thus far of experiments conducted by
Dr. C. R. Carpenter, professor and head of the Department
of Psychology.
But, Carpenter said, many critics of mass education be
lieve educational objectives re
lated to the personal and intellec
tual development of students are
lacking in larger classes.
These include objectives regard
ing attitude formation, organiza
tion and expression of ideas, and
group participation skills.
Carpenter is directing a re
search study to find ways of rid
ding some of the undesirable fac
tors in mass education
The University has received a
$14,800 grant for the current aca
demic year from the Fund for the
Advancement of Education in or
der to conduct the study.
Carpenter said large amounts
'of money have been spent by col
leges and universities to avoid
large classes.
He said because of growing de
mands on colleges and universi
ties, it will become increasingly
difficult to avoid large classes.
"Institutions of higher learning.
therefore, must face this fact, and
must find ways of avoiding 'the
leveling effects' of mass educa
tion," said Carpenter. ,
Graduate students and outstand- 1
ing undergraduates will be used
,in the study.
I Students majoring in psychol
ogy will be requested to help ini
tially in the experiment, with
half of them scheduled for actual
participation in group discussions,
!and the others as control groups.
Students enrolled for the ex
periment will have weekly sched
uled opportunities for planned
discussion and study in small
groups. These group discussions
t will be led by six seniors who
will have participated in previous
training and planning sessions
,with three graduate assistants and
one assigned faculty member.
, Carpenter is assisted in the pro
ject by Leslie P. Greenhill, asso
ciate director of the Instructional
Research Program: Dr. Deno G.
Thevaos and Dr. William S. Ray,
associate professors of psychol
ogy: and Dr. Francis L. Whaley,
'assistant professor of psychology.

FOOTBALL THROUGH THE AGES
The football frenzy is upon us. But let us in the midst
of this pandemonium call time. Let us pause for a moment
of tranquil reflection. What is this great American game
called football? What is its history? Its origins?
First of all, to call football an American game is some
what misleading. True, the game is now_ played almost
exclusively in America, but it comes to us from a land
far away and a civilization long dead.
Football was first played in ancient Rome. Introduced
by Julius Cs..esar, it became one of the most popular
Roman sports by the time of Nero's reign. The eminent
historian, Sigafoos, reports a crowd of MMCLDDXVIII.
people at the Colosseum.one Saturday afternoon to see
the Christians play the Lions.
With the decline of the Roman empire, football fell
into disusß. The barbaric Huns and Visigoths preferred
canasta. Not until the fifteenth century A. D. did foot
ball emerge from its twilight and rise to its rightful place
in the firmament of European sports.
Which brings us to September 29, 1442, a date dear to
the hearts of all football fans. It was on this date, accord-.
ing to the eminent historian Sigafoos, that a sixteen-year
old lad named Christopher Columbus tried out for the
football team at Genoa Tech. He failed to make the team
because be was too light. (He weighed at the time only
twelve pounds.)
And why, you ask, is this date—September 29, 1442
so dear to the hearts of all football fans? Because young
Columbus was so heartbroken at not making the team
that he ran away to sea. And if that hadn't happened,
he never would have discovered America. And if Columbus
hadn't discovered America, the world would never have
discovered tobacco. And if the world hadn't discovered
tobacco, football fans never would have discovered
Marlboro—which, as every fan 'mows, is the perfect com
panion to football. And why shouldn't it be? Look what
Marlboro's got ... Filter ... Flavor ... Flip-top Box ...
You can't buy a better smoke. You can't smoke a better
buy.
The end of football in Europe came with the notorious
"Black Sox Scandal" of 1587, in which Ed Machiavelli,
one of the Pisa mob, paid off the University of Heidelberg
Sabres to throw the championship game to the Chartres
A. and M. Gophers. It was a mortal blow to football on
the continent.
But the game took hold in the American colonies and
thrived as it had never thrived before. Which brings us
to another date that remains evergreen in the hearts of
football lovers: December 16, 1773.
On that date a British packet loaded with tea sailed
Into Boston harbor. The colonies bad long been smarting
under the English king's tax on tea. "Taxation without
representation," they called it, and feelings ran high.
When on December 16, 1773, the British ship docked'
at Boston, a semi-pro football team called the Nonpareil
Tigers, coached by Samuel (Swifty) Adams, was scrim
maging near the harbor. "Come, lads," cried Swifty, see
ing the ship. "Let's dump the tea in the ocean!"
With many a laugh and cheer the Nonpareil Tigers
followed Swifty aboard and proceeded- - to dump the
cargo overboard in a wild, disorganized and abandoned
manner. "Here now 1" called Swifty sharply. "That's no
way to dump tea overboard. Let's get into some kind
of formation."
And that, fans, is how the tea formation was born.
