Worcester, Psychology Professor,
Returns from Trip With New Ideas
For Orientation of New Students
By DEAN KUYKENDALL.
Dr. IX A. Worcester, professor of educational psychology
of the University of Nebraska, recently returned from a two
weeks trip to the east where, as a member of I he committee on
freshman orientation, he. went to inspect, the work being done
in various universities dealing with the problems of freshman

fessor Worcester's work took him
Ton-, rwraco. Northwestern
Purdue, Ohio State, Yale, Columbia
and Pennsylvania. In addition, at
the Atlantic City meeting of the
National Society of College Teach
ers of Education he met educators
on the faculties of other institu
tions, and talked with them con
cerning the status of freshmen in
the American university.
It Is Professor Worcester's be
lief that the problem of freshman
orieutatlon and guidance Is one of
very general interest, not only
among iuuoc m t,v-, , w. u
colleges of education in the coun
try, but also among those engaged
In the various professional and
academic fields. He found every

freshmen to their environment,
socially as well as academically.
Favorably Impressed.
While Professor Worcester ex
pressed himself as being favor
ably Impressed with the effort be
ing made at tbe University cf Ne

stated his Vlief that in the niture
the system would be worked out
to show greater improvement, over

to Professor Worcester.
Ohio SUte university has proved
to its satisfaction that freshman

in this direction even farther. In
addition to simply setting aside a
day or two for the "orientation of
freshmen," Columbia university
has permitted its students to take
examinations in prerequisite or re
quired courses, with the under
standing that if the student makes
a satisfactory grade he will be ex
cused from taking the preliminary
course. This method enables the
student to progress much more
rapidly than under ordinary con

PRESENT NOVEL PLAY
'Trial of Mary Dugan' Is
Shown as Department
Night Offering.
ROLES WELL PORTRAYED
Seniors in the university dra
matics department presented an
experimental t-no ng of "The
Trial of Mary Dugan" before
members of the dramatic classes
Tuesday evening in Temple the
ater. The court drama was of
fered as the regular departmeuUl
night for this year.
Many of the male roles in "The
Trial of Mary Dugan" were taken
by women students. Several of
the impersonations were effec
tively done, while others were
rather humorous.
The feminiDe leading role, that
of Mary Dugan, was taken by
Mrs. Alta Reade. She represented
the notorious woman who was on
trial for the murder of her lover.
Betty Craft played the male lead,
representing Jimmy Dugan,
brother of the defendant, who tried
the case. Her role was well car
ried and her appearance seemed
in keeping with the type of char
acter she represented.
Harlan Easton presided over the
court during the entire play, rep
resenting the Judge. He sustained
or overruled objection after objec
tion throughout the exciting trial.
Overcoming at intervals a tempta
tion to laugh, Judge Easton con
ducted himself in judicial manner.
The left handed murderer, who, j
of course, was tbe last one to be
suspected, was played by Edwin
Quinn. His shoe string catch in
the last inning, when be demon
strated his unconscious left hand
edness by intercepting a thrown
knife, solved the murder mystery
in flawless perfection. Thirza Fay
was cast as- the murdered roan's
unfaithful wife. She was attired
in black during the trial and suc
ceeded in offering a broken
hearted appearance.
