III. TYPE OF CURRICULUM
The purpose of the arts college, ac
cording to the last article, is to pro
vide its students with a common
background of information about the
world and about human activity, to
develop thinking minds, to encour
age individuality and personality, and
to impart some notions of trtste, cult
ure, interest in ideas, and the like.
The- college must have a curriculum
that will accomplish these things.
How is it to be done?
It would seem, in the first place,
that the college should admit only
those students who are interested in
getting a liberal education, the sort
of education described in the aim of
the college. Thin means that en
trance requirements should be high
enough to require students to come
prepared for such a course and that
high schools should be encouraged
to set higher standards for prospec
tive arts college students.
As for the curriculum itself, it
would be profitable to divide the
college into junior and senior col
leges. The task of the junior col
lege, comprising the first two years,
would be: (1) to provide the student
with a background of knowledge re
garding the formation of the world,
the development of civilization, the
evolution of man's thinking, an esti
mate of contemporary civilization,
in short, the background of which we
have spoken, and (2) to require those
"tool" subjects, such as English, for
eign language, mathematics, and na
tural science, that are requisite to
sound thinking. Such a course
would be- required almost entirely in
order to insure proper preparation
for advanced work and to provide all
students with the common back
ground of which we have spoken.
Admission to the senior college
should depend upon; (1) the ability
to write and speak the English lan
guage in a manner befitting a uni
versity upperclassman ; (2) the abil
ity to read two modern languages
(French and German), or to read one
and present credit for one ancient
language (Latin or Greek); and (3)
the passing of a comprehensive ex
amination over the "background"
courses of the junior college.
In the last two years (the senior
college) the student should study
thoroughly a single, not-too-broad,
field of knowledge in which he is in
terested. Such concentrations over
a period of two years should lead
to virtual mastery of the field. About
two-thirds to three-fifths of the stu
dent's time should be required by this
study, the rest being slotted to other
courses and elcctives.
Under such a scheme, the student
would be required to seek an in for
mational background and the so-call
ed "tool" subjects in the junior col
lege. In the senior college, the' stu
dent gains the discipline of thorough
study in one field by which his initi
ative, his imagination, his abilities at
organizing material, his thinking abil
ities, are forced into activity. Here
he becomes master of a field so that
he becomes a critic of authorities, a
judge of other's work. He gains the
satisfaction of knowing one thing
thoroughly and appreciation for the
results of careful study. Working
in a field of interest, the student's
full powers are called forth, and thus
taste, appreciation of excellence, and
interest in ideas are likely to re
sult. Courses in military drill and phy
sical education, while they may be
required by the university, should not
command credit in the arts college.
Likewise, courses of a highly tech
nical nature, such as advanced de
sign, mechanical drawing, and the
like; or those of a distinctly profes
sional character, such as education,
law, journalism, advertising, sales
manship, agriculture, and home eco
nomics, should not receive arts col
lege credit. The uniqueness of the
arts college and of the A. B. degree
should be preserved if the college is
to perform a distinct purpose by a
well organized and unified curriculum.
his time.
He has a horror of several things
and dodges them whenever possible;
laboratory courses; courses which
require a great deal of outside read
ing; temptations to spend money.
He isn't so easily affected by the
continual pressure .which forces oth
ers to conform to the sentiment of
the group. He doesn't give a hang
about conforming; his primary reason
for coming to college, was to get an
education. He isn't even heart-broken
if he doesn't make a fraternity.
Ho remembers that there are frater
nities because there are colleges, not
colleges because there are fraterni
ties. Classes are, to 'the working
man, the exciting part of the day, not
something which one must bear with
fortitude in order to stay in school.
The working student has one pet
theory. He firmly believes that if
he did not have to work four or five
hours each day he would put much
more time on his lessons, read lots of
good literature, grasp every oppor
tunity to attend concerts and broad
en himself in many ways. But he
wouldn't, and deep down in his heart
he knows that he wouldn't. Within
two weeks his good resolutions would
be gone and he would be loafing
with as much grace and ease as his
more plutocratic follows.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL
Today is the last day on which per
sons may file as candidates' for el
ection to the student council.
This year, the council has been
fully as dead as the proverbial door
nail. It hasn't done anything. Its
leaders have even forgotten the pro
visions of the constitution which gov
ern membership.
But the student council ought to
amount to something. It ought to
be an active and influential factor in
student life. Its members are elect'
ed by the entire undergraduate body.
They are more representative of the
entire school than any other group on
the campus, and their views and ac
tions should be of some importance.
The opposition or support of the stu
dent eouncil ought to have weight.
There are plenty of organizations
on the campus which are founded on
something similar to the hereditary
theory of government which was
overthrown after a few revolutions
a couple of centuries or so ago. The
honoraries and professional societies
are nearly all alike in this respect.
The retiring members select the new,
As a result, a certain balance is
maintained with few interruptions be
tween the members of various politi
cal factions. The organization's
voice ceases to mean anything.
But the student council is demo
cratic in theory. Its members are
chosen by the ent'ro student body.
For better or iov worse, the rule of
the majority is the rule that counts.
One does not buy membership.
This year the inactivity and gener
al worthlessness of the council indi
cates that the majority did not pick
very good candidates, or that the in
dividuals selected did not realize the
power of speaking and acting for the
student body which was placed in
their hands. If the membership of
the eouncil next year has the courage
needed to demand the rights which
belong to the organization and the
intelligence needed to make a group
something more than a name, the
student council may assume the place
in campus life whiph it was originally
created to fill. ! .
And because that place is one of
importance, membership on the
council should be an honor which
discriminating students might seek.
And because every student loses
when the council neglects its duties,
and is benefitted when the council
exercises its rights intelligently and
aggressively, The Daily Nebraskan
hopes that there will be a few per
sons among the candidates who are
not blind to everything connected
with the council except the pictures
of i s members in The Cornhusker.
zation world, shone upon the fair Uni
campus. Centurions was an honor
ary society. To be a member, one
had to be registered in the College
of Arts and Sciences and have five
available dollars.
It certainly was an honor to be a
Centurion. The boys almost fought
for membership. The society had a
ritual which was much better than the
members deserved. And, in the long
run, the Centurions was quite valu
able. It probably saved a rood
many people some money.
After having spent the five dollars
on Centurions, a young man was less
likely to squander larger sums on
class honoraries or some other so
ciety existing for the glorification of
its own members. It didn't take
long for the new member of Centur
ions, to find out the true extent of
the honor which hud been conferred
upon him. And the next time he was
given a chance to identify himself
with some other Mlows banded to
gether by a pretty name, he was like
ly to hesitate.
And when they hesitate, the end is
near.
