Better To_ Be Leader
Than Await Inevifabie
The University joined the vanguard of educational
institutions which are leading the way toward increased
educational opportunity to the nation's youth when it
formally adopted the 4-term plan.
And the University contributed something new and
original to the drive for fuller and more intensified
academic operation of the country's institutions of higher
learning in this unique 4-term plan. •
It departs from the traditional semester system. It is
neither a quarter nor trimester system but rather com
bines the good points of both.
It offers the acceleration of the quarter system while
maintaining the semester credit base with the innovation
of the longer class period.
Only the basic plan has been adopted. It will require
a concentrated effort during the next nine months by all
the departments of the University to plan their courses
and work out the innumerable details which will ac
company the switch in systems.
Sputnik awakened the big push in American educa
tion that will and must continue if the United States is
to maintain Its place as-a leader: of-nations, and 'for .that
matter, if democratic institutions are to survive anywhere
in the world.
In taking this step now, the University has become a
leader among American universities rather than waiting
to join the inevitable following.
The push for year-round academic operation has thus
far centered in the mid-west. And if you also count Pitt
as a mid-western school (as many do), Perm State is the
first major university
. in the East to go on year-round
operation on such a scale. .
There was considerable pressure for the University to
make more complete use of its multi-million dollar physi
cal plant financed by the taxpayers and the students.
But even this reason is overridden by the more im
portant responsibility of providing an intensified educa
tional opportunity for students already enrolled and an
accelerated program to extend that opportunity to more
of the state's youth.
