hours without sleep, indicate strongly
that lack of sleep has a deteriorating

The tests were conducted to dem

THE MOTION!
STUDENTS TEACHING THEIR
TEACHERS
(Boston Transcript)
"All our colleges now seem to be
asking their students to assume, for
a time, the task of teaching their
teachers. Dartmouth led the way in
this matter, soliciting from the under
graduates a very complete report
of their views of higher education as
supplied them at Hanover, what they
think is good about it and what they
think is wrong. Bodwoin and Mid
dlebury have likewise sought counsel
of their seniors and sophomores, their
juniors and freshmen. And now the
ink has scarcely dried up on the re
port of the Harvard Student Council
'committee on education,' when the
students of Yale, at the direct in
stance of President Angell, begin the
making of a similar canvass. The
questionnaire issued to students at
New Haven today is believed to be, if
anything, a more extensive inquiry
into student opinion, a more search
ing request for light upon the stu
dent's own way of stating his hopes,
ambitions and needs, and what he
thinks the university can do to help
fulfill them, than any yet issued.
"What an extraordinary develop
ment this is in the collegiate world!
Fifty or more years ago it would have
been quite unthinkable. In an Ameri
can college of the eighteenth or nine
teenth century any proposal that the
students should be asked to state in
public what they thought of their
teachers and teaching, would not
merely have been considered horrible,
"t would have been horripilant. Chills
and fever of outraged authority
would have shaken the whole faculty
from the president down to the
youngest assistant instructor. Nor
was the situation greatly altered no
longer than 15 years ago. We have
in mind a certain undergraduate
editor of a New England college
newspaper. Constantly, in 1911 and
1912, he strove to make the point
that it was important for the admin
istrators of a college to know what
the undergraduates were thinking.
He held this true whether the stu
dents were right or wrong, and per
haps more important if they were
wrong, as very likely they might be,
than if they were right. For he ar
gued the greatest task of a college
is to encourage right thinking. If an
inquiry would show that the stu
dents', for the most part, were think
ing wrongly about various matters
of their collegiate education and
teaching, why wasn't it very import
and for the authorities to discover
this? The reasoning seemed cor
rect, but 15 years ago it awakened
no official response in any quarter.
"Today, as has been said, the
theory of the worth of students'
opinion concerning their studies and
indeed all phases of collegiate life,
seems to be winning sudden and
widespread acceptance. It is odd,
it may even be thought to tread upon
dangerous ground; but on the whole
it appears very salutary. Thruout
the grade schools and the secondary
schools the last two decades have
witnessed an immense increase of
self-criticism and of scientific peda
gogical analysis. The colleges, for the
most part, have not shared in such
surveys. It has been all very well for
collegiate departments of education
to conduct surveys of preparatory
schools and their teaching, but since
the colleges themselves stand as the
courts of highest Tesort in the world
of education, the practical question
has been, 'Who should act, in turn,
as their surveyors?' Apparently, the
answer is being found, in some part
by seeking out college student opin
ion. Since the responsible heads of
our colleges reserve to themselves all
authority in determining what part
of the students' report is valuable,
and what part is pure bunkum, the
possible benefits of the movement
far outweigh its risks."
