What Part Wi7 College Play
in After -War Reconstruction?
Will the college have a part in solv
ing the problems of the new democ
racy which is coming to birth at the
close of the war, or will it be still fur
ther overshadowed, on the one hand,
by the newer secondary education,
awakened to its social responsibili
ties, and on the other hand by the
professional schools, always responsi
ble to immediate practical needs?
This is a big question that Frederick
W. Roe, assistant dean of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, discusses in
Scrlbners' for February in an article
entitled, "The College: Yesterday
and Tomorrow."
"The graduate and profesional
schools," says Mr. Roe, "have reached
down and the secondary schools have
reached up. until the identity of the
college is seriously threatened. Out
of the colossal work of reconstruc
tion, out of the vast and complex re
organization of commerce and indus
try, there will arise unprecedented de
mands for trained men and women.
That industrial and professional edu
cation, turning out armies of experts.
Is to have a large part in the giant
enterprises of the new era we cannot
doubt."
Colleges Must Re-State Purpose
Mr. Roe believes that those who
look for unity In our social life and
freedom for self-government in our in
dividual ideals, has a part to play not
less important than the part to be
played by any other organization in
the educations! scheme. "But" h
says, "that part ought to be re-stated
by the colleges or tomorrow so mat
the significance of the education they
offer Bhall be as clear and definite
as the aims of the technical schools."
Mr. Roe defines the field of the col
lege:
"The college is a place for the culti
vation of humanistic interest and
standards. It has no higher function
than to impress upon every youth
who enters its hospitable doors that
he is a social belns. and that he may
not live to himself, whether in aris
tocratic or Intellectual isolation. The
student must learn somehlng of what
mankind has achieved in science and
philosophy, and something of the
standards in morals and art that man
kind has established through cen
turies of striving. In other words, his
emotions must bo touched to finer Is
sues.
SUMMER TERM OFFERS
PRACTICAL COURSES
The February Issue of the University
Journal explains courses offered at
Bummer school. The summer term be
gins June 2, and ends July 25. The
second summer session will end Au
gust 22. The summer school offers ex
ceptional advantages to teachers,
graduates of normal schools, high
school graduates,' adult specials, nnd
graduate students.
'Courses are offered for teachers who
wish to improve their ability ta teach
manual training, French, Spanish,
mathematics and American history.
Besides these, the usual summer
school subjects will be offered.
NEBRASKA UNI STUDENT
WITH ARMY IN GERMANY
Letters received from Captain Earl
M. Cllne, who has been overseas since
last summer, indicate that he is still
in Germany, with but few prospects
of getting "over here" in the near fu
ture. Captain Cllne 13 in command of
a machine gun company which has
been a part of the army of occupa
tion. He was at one time a law stu
dent at the university and later su
perintendent of schools at Nebraska
City, Nebraska. Before his Induction
into the army, Captain Cline resigned
his educational position and became a
member of a prominent law firm in
Nebraska City, of which Colonel Wil
liam Hayward was at one time a mem
fContlnuod on l'nge Three)
Where Narrowness Dies
The college is also a place for the
development of personal Ideals and
love of knowledge for its own sake.
Here under the guidance of real lead
ers, narrowness is to be put off and
breadth is to be put on.
"Finally, the college is a place
place where young people who have
not yet made the discovery may find
their aptitudes."
Mr. Roe believs that thousands of
students who have reached the age of
20 years have not yet found their
aptitudes, and that there should be
this period of experimentation which
n college eduactlon affords.
Four Classes of Study
As a curriculum by which those
rums may be realized, Mr. Roe sug
gests four fields which Include the
fundamentals of a colleg education:
science, Including matematics; his
tory, including economics and govern
ment; literature, including language;
philosophy. He advises the study of
Latin. "No other one language satis
fies so many purposes aa Latin, and
Ms restoration Is imperative if college
training Is to regain its old-time
vigor." The study of these four fields
in a secondary school should form a
foundation for college training, Mr.
Roe says. "When the curricular or
ganization of secondary schools and
colelges becomes fairly continuous
and articulate, prospective college
ihnte will be regularly innmcted
to the place and purpose of college
education while they are yst In high
school.
"But a college course, even the most
caiefully constructed will not work
automatically. To be successful ac
cording to the standards of a new day,
It must be sustained by an organized
a:id co-ordained life on the past of
students and faculty, comparable
after its kind to that of the best In
dustrial and comrnticial concerns of
which we know.'
Muddling with Athletics
Quulhig from Mr. Slossou'a bonk,
"Great American Universities," he
says:
"The roost vulnerable point in our
colleglato system is the diversion of
the interest of the student body from
the (reu aims of the college. Social
life, athletics, dissipation, and the
multitude of other student activities
have cut down t othe minlmuia the at
