Vetta Circulation Manager EDUCATIONAL REFORM Mush of the reform proposed for colleges and universities is to be discounted because of its impractica bility for state universities. The university oi jmcnigan, nowever, n at r 1 i mrougn lis new president, ur. iwar- ence Cook Little, and through the "Michigan Alumnus" is seriously considering manv of the measures ad- i canced by those who are fartherest ahead in matters of university curri-jthat cula and methods. , . ,. . . , . the "Michigan Alumnus" for Nov- ember 14, 1925, is an indication of the attitude toward educational poli cies taken by the new president and the alumni magazine at that institu tion. It is an editorial entitled "Dartmouth's Reform in College Edu cation." "Two years ago Dartmouth Col lege was startled by a report made by Professor Fred Barker Emery, re tiring Chairman of the Committee on Educational Policy. He said in ef fect that American undergraduates were doing no work that they were graduated not only without knowing anything, but they didn't even want to know anything. The responsibil ity for this state of things, however, did not rest with them, nor could it honestly be ascribed to athletics. Plainly universities were not doing their job; even more, they couldn't do do it; in fact, in the words of Arthur Corning White, professor of Eng J liar, or TWtmnntn 'Their rlirl Tint OWr. realize the nature of the job theyjtten- But the spirit that made the were supposed to do.' "Naturally this report gave the faculty a shock. They reacted fa vorably, however, and set to work to , make a systematic study of the prob lem. Moreover the President ap pointed an undergraduate committee to do the same thing, composed of the best men in the senior class. This committee made a report last June which attracted wide attention. Those who read President Little's in augural address in last week's Alum nus will find some of the proposals advanced not unfamiliar. In effect these students advocated required ! courses for the freshman year de- signed to make the student familiar with the various fields of knowledge, their history, and an exposition of their main problems. For the sopho- j more year they suggested courses, , mostly required, designed to give the student a general background; a foundation upon which to build an education. For the final two years, the work should be confined more or less to some particular field of know ledge, with conferences and small groups for informal discussion in the place of lectures. "Meanwhile the faculty made its etPl.VMSU SIWICE 319 50. 12TV ST. LINCOLN. NEB. B-ma XltnTv 1 1 til own investigations, particularly of English and Continental universi ties, which resulted in a thorough ap preciation of some of the points made in the article on English education published in this Alumnus. The re sult of these investigations was, in general, the approval of tho recom mendations of the students, with the further provisions that a student, be fore receiving his degree, must pass a comprehensive test, not merely on tho actual subject covered by the courses ho has taken, but also an ex amination on tho ceneral field in which he has specialized, regardless of what has been specifically covered in the courses. Moreover, and this is in accord with President Little's recommendation, students of excep tional ability are to be excused dur ing their Inst two years from all the class attendance and encouraged to advanced as fast as their ability per mits. "There are, of course, many speci fic regulations regarding courses and fields of specialization comprised in the plan. One cannot get away from them in any scheme of college edu cation. But after all they ore of less importance; the main thing is that the Dartmouth plan is an fefort to lib eralize the present curriculum, to make it possible, even for the average student, to plod along under the new system to some purpose, while at the same time 'the few gifted ones' will have an opportunity to develop their capacity for leadership. And good ieadership ia what the C0Untry needs." WHO WON? Students at the University of Mis- 80Uri wiu Pbably feel for some time their lives have been blighted, Their football team, undefeated until then, lost to Kansas yesterday. And Kansas had a hitherto unsuccessful season. Missouri was undoubtedly confi dent of victory, and Kansas went into the game determined to give all it had. That Kansas won, is for us at least, very pleasing. The Kansans showed a gallant spirit all season when they were losing, and it was un doubtedly this spirit that pulled them to victory over Missouri. Who won the game is a matter of little importance, for football is not based on the idea of victory (at least it should not be.) What is import ant is that the Jayhawkers fought through a whole season of discour agements and then, through an in dominatible spirit, beat a team that was undoubtedly superior in speed, weight and football ability. Ten years from now an inquiry concerning the result of the 1925 Kansas-Missouri game would prob- ably meet with no response for even w,c Fiuimui, ' w Kansas victory possible will probably be of some value in later life. Twenty Years Ago At the tenth annual meeting of the National Association of State Uni versities held at Washington, D. C, Chancellor Andrews, president of the association, delivered the annual ad dress, in which he discussed the atti tude State Universities should take toward graduate work and incident- ally football. He approved, under reasonable regulations, all the usual forms of college sports, The Honorable C. C. Flansburg of the Lincoln bar, opened the course of lectures before the students of the law school, in an address on "Fees."

Mr. Sorenson is connect ed with the Lago Petroleum Corpor ation, and is in command of an ex Americun subchaser, M. S. Papagallo. With Don R.

The fighters tried steam alone first. The steam from a battery of thirty-six i boilers which were coupled with a six inch steam-line, was directed at the I flaming well. This method failed, i and a composition was then used that: proved very effective in a compare-j tively short time.
