Collegians Face Problem as Report
Finds Frosh Smarter Than Seniors
Upperclastm-. n in colleges and
universities throughout the coun
try this week were wondering just
what they will have to show for
their education In the face of the
recent Carnegie report put porting
to prove that the average fresh
man possesses knowledge equiva
lent to or above that of a senior.
The report, prepared by Dr.
Henry Smith Prttchett for tin
Carnegie Foundation for the Ad
vancement of Teaching, and based
upon examinations administered to
10,000 college students in various
parts of Pennsylvania, blames the
asserted failure of the American
educational system to educate on
a lack of co-ordination of the spe
cific items of knowledge.
Dr. Pritchelt's conclusions have
caused a storm of discussion, and,
In a large number of cases, ani
mated protest in higher educa
tional institutions all over the
United States. This Is reflected in
student editorials, which are in
clined to take only half seriously
the comparison between freshmen
and seniors.
The Indiana Daily Student, how
ever, admits that "such accusa
tions are interesting" and com
ments favorably upon the new ten
dency to excuse students from re
quired courses when they success
fully pass examination.
The Chronicle of Duke univer
sity goes fuvthei, and aims a blow
at the entire system of compul
the junior class of the previous
year and who was also a repre
sentative girl in the college.
Guests of honor at the banquet
were Mr. William Gold. Lincoln
business man and donor of the gold
keys and Dr. and Mrs. W. G.
Langworthy Taylor. Dr. Taylor is
professor emeritus of economics
and formerly was head of the de
partment. "The banquet was a great suc
cess," Keith Ltghtner, president of
the Bizad executive board, stated,
"and I hope that future banquets
will be just as successful as this
one was." Members of the Bizad
board were sponsors of the ban

sory courses, an essential part of
what Dr. Prltchett termed the
"credit coinage" play of college
education.
Though The Chronicle disagrees
"emphatically" with the conclusion
that "the average undergraduate
has reached the peak of his knowl
edge by the end of his freshman
year," the editor is of the opinion
that "the sooner students may
choose their own subjects for
study instead ot laboring with
subjects In which they have no In
terest and which have no Interest
for them, all the more soon such
accusations that the college educa
tional system Is falling will cease. '
On the other hand, nvmy educa
tors, as well as student leaders,
were inclined to believe that Dr.
Prltchett had perhaps Interpreted
his examination results too
broadly, since he apparently based
his conclusions upon the relative
knowledge of undergraduates.
Whether, in truth, the educator
had shown a tendency to confuse a
definition of "knowledge," as op
possed to "intelligence," was a
question much in debate. It might
be, it was 'pointed out, that the
American system did not fall quite
so short of its goal in seeking to
educate individuals in the art of
' knowing how" and in the achieve
ment of a "broader understanding,"
rather than an accumulation of
word definitions and unrelated
data.
AMERICA MUST POINT
WAY FOR DISARMING
Forum Speaker Says United
States Should Lead
World Move.
"Disarmament is not a new
thing." declared Dr. Geo. A. Coe,
nationally known author and edu
cator in opening his address on
"Is Disarmament Visionary" at the
World Forum meeting Wednes
day noon. "Over one hundred
years ago, the American-Canadian
boarder was lined with forts, and
over one hundred naval vessels
were kept in the Great Lakes."
Dr. Coe then pointed out how a
disarmament conference at that
time did away with this war para
phernalia and that the agreement
reached at that time has kept both
nations secure ever since.
Dr. Coe stated that there are
very urgent reasons for accomp
lishing something in the forthcom
ing disarmament conference. If
things remain as serious as they
are now he feels that a war in a
few years is inevitable. He also
said that the United States will
necessarily be drawn into it. "An
other war will result," Dr. Coe
stated, "in the economic and cul
tural exhaustion of the world."
Picture Fear, Hate.
Dr. Coe gave a graphic picture
of how armaments in our country
create fear and hate in other coun
tries. He explained, that after the
war the Japanese wondered, "Why
is United States putting military
training in their universities? To
fight whom? To fight Japan?"
Dr. Coe pointed out that now Ja
pan has military training in their
schools,',
"The United States is the key
nation with regard to genuine dis
armament," continued Dr. Coe,
"for economic power can turn into
moral power." Dr. Coe said that
the United States must be willing
to make economic sacrifices in or
der to get true disarmament.
Dr. Coe explained that if the na
tions should disarm, there should
be a "police force" in each country
to te.ke care of troubles within
the countries and possibly an in
ternational navy for the high seas.
In order to have the American
delegates to the conference deter
mined to secure genuine disarma
ment based on the principals of the
Kellogg Pact, Dr. Coe urged that
groups and individuals "shower"
President Hoover with letters ex
pressing their desires for disarma
ment. OPEN GEOGRAPHY EXHIBIT
