ANNUAL CONVOCATION
ANNUAL HONORS
ASSEMBLY HELD
Hunter Urges Students to
Accept the Challenge
Given Them.
Declaring that American educa
tional institutions were on the
frontier of a new thought which
directly challenges the universities
to carry on the ideals and philos
ophy of our modern society, Dr.
Frederick M. Hunter in his address
before the fifth annual student
honors convocation held at the col
iseum yesterday morning, strongly
urged that students accept the
gauntlet which was literally being
flung in their faces.
"To American education fhe
gauntlet is directly hurled. What
shall be its program? Especially
what shall be its character, the
training, the adequacy of those
who teach and lead American
youth? American education has
never shunned responsibility," de
clared Dr. Hunter in visualizing
the future changes which will
mightily affect the college and uni
versities of the nation.
"American education today
holds itself responsible to a large
degree for the permanence and the
perpetuation of these ideals for
which humanity has struggled thru
the centuries. In the hands of
Americans, democracy must come
to its full fruitage," declared Dr.
Hunter.
In pointing out the significant
socializing influences that have ai
fected the university thought to
day, Dr. Hunter outlined four ma
jor points, which are: The great
rapidity of change; the complete
dominance of scientific metnoa in
attacking the problems of the
present civilization; the transfer of
attention ana empnasis zrom can
gible and materialistic problems to
problems of human relations and
social progress; and an intense
creative urge in literature and
arts.
Emphasizing the fact that the
burden of the labor lies in the path
of the teacher, Dr. Hunter declared
that, "If we can succeed in estab
lishing everywhere a set of re
quirements for teachers which re
late themselves intimately to the
problems which society must solve
for its salvation; and if the teach

Yearly Publication Tans'
Faculty and Students
Of College.
"The Sledge," official scandal
sheet of the Engineering college
will be distributed at the Engin
eer's banquet which climaxes En
gineer's week, according to George
Swatek, general chairman for En
gineer's week.
The publishing of the scandal
sheet is one of the traditions of the
Engineering college, and has been
published annually for many
years. The general idea of the pub
lication is the ''panning" of stu
dents and professors for actual or
fancied faults. Everyone has the
opportunity and are urged to con
tribute to the paper. Boxes are
located in several of the Engineer
ing buildings and are available for
deposits of Sledge copy.
"In past years the issuance of
the Sledge has been marked by a
great deal of delight and enjoy
ment on the part of some, but also
many deep threats and mutterings
are voiced by those who rate space
in the Sledge," Swatek stated,
A new policy of publicity is be
ing used for the paper this year.
Bulletins are being posted in all
the Engineering buildings, which
carry daily reports of progress
and also publish special "hit
scoops" which have been reported
and which will be contained in the
miner. Students are urced to
watch these bulletin boards for the
development of the Sledge, and
